Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 227

Chapter 227: Strange Runes
Xuan Ruiquan drank the cup of water in one go and said, “Yes. I have already reported the case, and we will leave the rest to the Yamen.”

Looking at his calm face, Duan Yixin asked, “Did you find anything?”

Xuan Ruiquan took out the necklace and said, “I found this on the leader’s corpse.”

Duan Yixin took the necklace in his hand and looked at it carefully. Chi Xinru, who was sitting next to her, also took a look at the necklace. When she saw that the pendant was actually made of a wolf’s fang, Chi Xinru exclaimed in surprise, “This person actually used a wolf’s fang to make a pendant.”

She then noticed something on the fang, pointed at it, and said, “Xin Xin, look at this. There seems to be something carved in the wolf’s fang.”

Duan Yixin, following her gaze, saw symbols etched onto the fang. Unable to decipher their meaning, she turned to Xuan Ruiquan and asked, “General Xuan, do you know what these symbols mean?”

Xuan Ruiquan took the necklace and examined the symbols. After a moment, he said, “These are the runes used by the Xiong Nu. I am not an expert in this area and do not know their meaning. However, my military advisor has learned the runes and language of the Xiong Nu. He may know the meaning behind these runes.”

When Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru heard that he had his own military advisor, the two exchanged glances. Although they didn’t know much about military affairs, it is well known that only the army leader can have a military advisor. It seemed that the man sitting in front of them was not an ordinary general as they thought, but had a very high military rank in the Jin Yi Army.

After reaching this conclusion, Chi Xinru nudged Duan Yixin and whispered, “Xin Xin, it seems that your peach blossoms are very fragrant.”

Duan Yixin didn’t quite understand what she meant, so she tilted her head slightly and asked, “What peach blossom?”

Hearing her question, Chi Xinru just smiled and did not answer her. While Duan Yixin was still thinking about the meaning of Chi Xinru’s words, Xuan Ruiquan smiled after hearing their conversation. He thought about Chi Xinru’s words and felt that he was indeed good.

He looked at Duan Yixin’s confused look and thought in a good mood, ‘Xin’er’s confused look is so cute.’

Because of Chi Xinru’s words, the tense and heavy atmosphere suddenly disappeared, replaced by pink bubbles around Xuan Ruiquan. Outside the carriage, Chi Xiyou listened to their conversation and sighed that it wouldn’t be long before he would need to drink Duan Yixin’s wedding wine.

After driving for several hours, they arrived at the first relay station between Chun Shan Town and Qian Shan County. Chi Xiyou stopped the carriage in front of the relay station and got off. A servant saw a carriage parked in front of the relay station and hurried to greet the guests.

With a smile on his face, the servant said, “Welcome to our relay station. Guest, do you want to stay overnight or just have a meal?”

After everyone got out of the carriage, Xuan Ruiquan said, “This is the only relay station between Chun Shan Town and Hua Shan Town. Let’s stay one night and continue our journey tomorrow.”

Since none of them had been to places further than Chun Shan Town, Chi Xiyou nodded and said, “Then let’s stay here for one night.”

When the servant heard this, he smiled brightly and quickly called another servant and said, “Take the horse to the stable and take good care of it.”

The other servant nodded and drove the horse carriage away. The servant then made an inviting gesture and said, “Guests, please come this way.”

Under the guidance of the servant, the four of them followed him to the inn. Along the way, Duan Yixin looked around and found that although there was only an inn, a restaurant, and a stable there, the relay station was very clean.

When they entered the inn, the servant took them to the counter and said to the middle-aged man working behind the counter, “Innkeeper, these are the guests who have just arrived. They want to stay overnight.”

After heavy rains and floods, the four of them were the first customers at their relay station. The Innkeeper smiled and asked politely, “Guest, how many rooms do you need?”

Chi Xiyou said, “Please give us two rooms.”

The Innkeeper looked at the four of them and seemed to realize something. He smiled and picked up the two keys hanging on the wall.

He put the key on the counter and said to them, “One of the rooms is perfect for couples. The room is on the second floor. Guest, please enjoy your stay here.”

Chi Xiyou didn’t understand why he told them this and took the key in confusion. He handed one key to Chi Xinru and said, “Ru’er will stay with Xin Xin, and I stay with General Xuan.”

After hearing this, the Innkeeper thought, ‘It seems that I guessed it wrong. I thought they were a newlywed couple who came out with their siblings. Indeed, as people age, their minds are not as good as before.’

Not knowing what the Innkeeper thought, Chi Xinru took the key, then took Duan Yixin’s hand and said to the servant, “Please bring hot water to our room.”

The servant bowed slightly and smiled, “We will send the water right away.”

Chi Xinru pulled Duan Yixin’s hand and said, “Xin Xin, let’s hurry up. I really need to wash my body and take a good rest. After sitting in the carriage for several hours, my bottom almost turned into a blooming flower.”

Chi Xiyou was speechless when he heard Chi Xinru’s words.

“….” Can you be more polite with your words? There is an outsider here.

He glanced at Xuan Ruiquan and saw him following Duan Yixin expressionlessly. Chi Xiyou thought that Xuan Ruiquan didn’t care about Chi Xinru’s vulgar words, so he shrugged and followed them to the second floor.
