Chapter 24: The Ins and Outs

The next day, the next time, Yue Mochen came to the tavern he had visited yesterday.

The tavern during the day is not too deserted, most of the mercenaries who come and go rest in this place, Yue Mochen was taken to the second floor by the waiter, and the light here is much better than downstairs.

chose a location facing the street, and Yue Mochen sat down leisurely, but his heart kept thinking.

He was thinking back to the information that Yan Yaoliang had brought him, about him, about the ins and outs of the ancient ruins in his mouth.

After Yan Yaoliang drew a few ancient characters from memory last night, although they were "paralyzed" on the rice paper crookedly, Yue Mochen still recognized them at a glance, they were ancient words!

Although he couldn't determine the specific meaning, Yue Mochen was sure that his judgment was correct, and in this way, the role of that remnant map was very likely to be the map of the treasure of the ruins as Wanyan Yaoliang said.

The only difference is that this relic is not from antiquity, but from much more ancient times!

What's more worth mentioning is that according to Hongyue's analysis, the "Qingge" that Mochen had heard several times in that month, but had never seen before, was probably one of the five stone envoys!

This made Yue Mochen overjoyed.

According to Wan Yan Yaoliang, just a year ago, Wan Yan Yaoliang found a strange remnant picture in his mouth. At that time, neither of them knew its value, so they joked that no matter what they were, they would split the remnant into two on the spot.

This is how things have passed, just when Yan Yaoliang himself was about to forget about the existence of this matter, Qingtong suddenly came to the door and told him that this might be a treasure map of ancient ruins.

The two of them followed the clues found by Qing Tong and kept pursuing, and later rummaged through the ancient books in Fancheng Academy, but with little success, but it was basically determined that the remnant map that was divided into two parts was two parts, and the remnant in Qing Tong's hand indicated the location of the ruins, and the one in Wan Yan Yaoliang's hand was likely to be the road map in the ruins.

Due to the age, the topography has changed a lot, and the two maps are broken, so they can only be seen, and neither of them can confirm the location of the ruins.

In the end, the two decided to use the power of their families, so Wanyan Yaoliang told his father Wanyan Guanghui about it.

However, under the research of Wanyan Guanghui and an old ancestor of the Qing family, the location could only be determined on the Wanyuan Great Plain between Mochizuki City and Shacheng.

However, due to the large area of Wanyuan Dapingyuan, this conclusion did not have much effect, and after several months, the two sides still did not get any entry into the temple on the basis of this research.

Later, Wanyan Guanghui borrowed the power of the royal family to crack the remnant map, because the information owned by the royal family was complete, and Wanyan Guanghui himself was a nobleman under the royal family, so it was natural for him to propose this construction.

But as the former master of the Fansheng Empire, the Qing family is not pleasing to the eyes of the current royal family, and their side is naturally opposed.

The two sides could not reach a consensus, and the matter was again settled in a stalemate.

But in less than half a month, Wan Yan Guanghui received a secret mission from the royal family, and unfortunately died during the mission. No one knows what's going on here.

Wanyan Yaoliang could naturally guess that his father's death must not be simple, but he didn't have much clue about it, and just as he was about to investigate the matter himself, there was another accident in his family, and his mother and all the servants in the family died overnight.

He himself has been assassinated one after another, but fortunately he is in the Fancheng Academy, and he has repeatedly suffered great disasters and saved his life.

But it didn't end there, and soon after, he was expelled from the academy on a trumped-up charge.

Immediately after, he began his escape life, and finally, he guessed that if Qingtong's family wanted to find the ruins, they would definitely go to the Wanyuan Great Plains.

So, after he escaped, he relied on his low-level cultivation as a fighter to become an idle mercenary, wandering between the two cities, and finally being taken in by Liu Dayong in the Tempest Mercenary Group.

When Yue Mochen heard this, his heart concluded that Yan Guanghui's death must be related to the remnant picture, because it happened too suddenly, and the time between the two was too close.

If his inference is not wrong, then the biggest beneficiary of Wanyan Guanghui's mission failure and death is undoubtedly the owner of another remnant - the Qing family.

When Yue Mochen said this guess, Wan Yan Yaoliang denied it without thinking about it.

It's not because Wanyan Yaoliang blindly trusts his friend Qingtong, he also believes in the Qing family.

The Qing family used to be the former royal family, maybe other people don't know, but as a nobleman, Wanyan Yaoliang is very aware of the Qing family's previous style, and he believes that the Qing family will not do such a thing.

Yue Mochen was noncommittal about this, as the so-called time is different from the past, the Qing family at that time held a dynasty, and the way of doing things was naturally not too much, even if there was any dark side, it was impossible for others to know, because those who knew could not escape death. Moreover, the Qing family is no longer the Qing family of the past, and it is not surprising if they are bent on regaining the empire that once belonged to them, and they will do something shady.

However, Yue Mochen thought about it carefully at this time, and also agreed with Wan Yan Yaoliang's words, Wan Yan Guanghui's death was not concerned for the time being, but the person who chased and killed Wan Yan Yaoliang would definitely not be from the Qing family.

Because the remnant picture in Wanyan Yaoliang's hand has been lost in the process of fleeing, that is to say, it was captured by the chasing party.

If the chasing party is the Qing family, it means that the Qing family already has a complete remnant map, then the Qing family will definitely not sit at ease, and will inevitably look for relics everywhere.

Although the plain between Sand City and Mochizuki City is large, it is definitely not barren, it is one of the largest mineral fields in the Dongyue Continent, if the Qing family goes there to look for relics, there will definitely be news.

And Yue Mochen spent a morning asking around, but there was no news of this.

Then, the suspicion of the Qing family can basically be ruled out, and the spearhead is pointed at another force.

Because apart from the Qing family, they are the only ones who know about this.

Moreover, the forces that can quietly kill Yan Guanghui, they are definitely the most qualified!

This force is the current royal family of the Vatican Empire!

Thinking of this, Yue Mochen's brows furrowed tightly, if he was involved in this matter, it would mean that he would have to directly face one of the largest forces on the Dongyue Continent with the names of the dozens of mercenaries of the Eternal Night Mercenary Group.

But whether in public or private, Yue Mochen is unavoidable.

He had promised Wan Yan Yaoliang to help him avenge his parents, which must be fulfilled, and privately, he had to find the whereabouts of the Qingshi Envoy.

However, why should he face the royal family of the Vatican Empire?

Just when Yue Mochen was having a headache, the downstairs became noisy, and bursts of exclamations kept coming out.
