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."
