Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2540 Injustice
This is a long-forgotten name, but also a very shocking truth.

But when he really heard the name, Ying Baoyue was not as shocked as he had imagined.

Maybe it's because I already had a guess in my mind.

She lowered her head and was silent for a moment, "Is it really him?"

Although Mu Rongyin and Jin Yun were once engaged, they had not seen each other for at least sixteen years. Yun Zhongjun's face was burned beyond recognition, and even his relatives probably couldn't recognize him at first glance. Mu Rongyin only glanced at him from a distance, so how could she be so sure it was him?
Mu Rongyin sighed softly, "Your Majesty, I don't know if you can understand."

She raised her head, "If Zhao Huajun had a different face, would you be able to recognize him?"

Ying Baoyue was stunned. She was silent for a moment and nodded, "I should be able to do it."

"Then you should understand," Mu Rongyin said with a wet smile on her face, "For some people, no matter how much time has passed, even if things have changed and people have changed, you can recognize them as soon as you look into their eyes."

"By the way, Your Majesty, you are that kind of person too."

Mu Rongyin looked into Ying Baoyue's eyes and said, "When Chen'er picked you up for the first time, I felt as if I had seen you somewhere before."

But at that time she never imagined that this ignorant girl would be the world-famous young general who was conferred the title together with her more than ten years ago.

Ying Baoyue took a deep breath and said, "Yes, you are right."

Even though she had a new appearance in this life, many of her old friends, whether it was Song Zhai, Wan Liuyun or Qian Bofang, still recognized her at a glance.

Since Mu Rongyin said he was, then that person was undoubtedly Jin Yun.

The real identity of Yun Zhongjun is Jin Yun, the eldest son of General Jin Cheng, one of the three heroes of the Qin Dynasty who was exterminated.

Ying Baoyue's breathing became unstable and he felt that his heartbeat was a little irregular.

This news really needs time to be digested.

She and her master had suspected that Yun Zhongjun was actually from the Central Plains. It was just because this person really knew too much about the cultivation world in the Central Plains, and had a fuller understanding of the court situations of the six countries within the Great Wall.

It is precisely because of this that this person can manipulate the Central Plains practitioners and various officials at will.

It is impossible for a slave from the Western Rong to know so much.

But she and her master thought about it over and over again, but could not find a cultivator from the Central Plains whose background matched Yun Zhongjun's.

With the cultivation talent displayed by Yun Zhongjun, no matter what his background was in the Central Plains, he would definitely be respected. There was really no need for him to run to Xirong.

There has never been any news from any of the major families or academies about the disappearance of such a gifted cultivator.

Ying Baoyue couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Now that the truth was revealed, she finally understood why she and her master couldn't find anyone back then.

Because they were looking for a dead person.

A person who came back from the dead.

Ying Baoyue looked at Mu Rongyin with complicated eyes, "Do you know about the news that a descendant of the Jin family escaped?"

She and her master did not think about the Jin family at that time because the matter of exterminating the entire family was of great importance, and Emperor Taizu sent his most trusted subordinates to do it.

With Emperor Ying's wisdom and ability, it is impossible for any fish to slip through the net.

Ying Baoyue understood Emperor Ying's methods.

Although the Jin family was eventually burned down by a fire, all the damned people must have been confirmed dead and counted repeatedly before the fire.

Whether it was the elderly, women or children, they were all buried in the sea of ​​fire.

That fire was just an act by Emperor Ying to destroy the bodies and cover up his cruelty.

Mu Rongyin tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, "I don't know."

When the Jin family was ransacked and exterminated, other military families were all in danger. They all stayed indoors and did not dare to inquire about anything.

Because she was engaged to Jin Yun, she had been under house arrest by her father since Jin Cheng and his son were imprisoned in the Sky Prison.

During that time, her father specially sent several female generals with superb martial arts skills to keep an eye on her, and even locked her boudoir with an iron chain.

Mu Rongyin was under house arrest for three full months.

By the time she was released, the Jin family had been completely razed to the ground.

She didn't even know on which day Jin Yun died.

This was the first time Mu Rongyin had ever seen a clan being exterminated. She didn't even have time to grieve for her dead fiancé and love.

Because everyone knows that the Jin family has fallen, and the Mu family will be next.

Then, the Mu family also encountered disaster. Although the Mu family survived the disaster and was not wiped out due to her father's operation, her eldest brother, who loved her the most since childhood, voluntarily died without a burial place for the safety of the whole family.

During those days when she was walking on thin ice and the wind was howling, Mu Rongyin had no energy to think about anything, and she was in a daze like a puppet. She was manipulated like a walking corpse, married Gui Chang, gave birth to two children, and was kicked out of the house by Gui Chang...

She did not resist, nor did she feel she had the right to resist.

Her eldest brother even sacrificed his life, so what right does she have to not contribute her own strength to the survival of the family?
The Jin family’s previous experience is a lesson for us. For the survival of the family, every descendant of the Mu family has a responsibility.

In the more than ten years since she got married, had children and became a returned home wife, Mu Rongyin seldom thought of Jin Yun, and seldom thought of the past.

She was afraid that if she thought about it, she would not be able to endure the day.

The memories of my teenage years are like a flower and bird painting that has been hidden at the bottom of a box for a long time, fading and blurring over time.

She spent more than ten years in this muddle.

Mu Rongyin never thought that one day she would be able to become a daughter of the Mu family again.

Her time stopped when she was locked in her boudoir by her father more than ten years ago and when she went out again, she had a new fiancé.

Until that day, her son came back from the mountain carrying an unconscious girl, and the moment the girl opened her eyes.

Mu Rongyin's time started to move again.

She opened her eyes wide and looked into the eyes of the old friend in front of her.

"Actually, Your Highness..."

She was still used to calling Princess Ying Baoyue Her Royal Highness.

"My father never told me anything about what happened to the Jin family, but one day during those three months, I suddenly felt a palpitation."

"I pretended to be dead and went on a hunger strike, and I tried my best to get out of the room once."

"Then I saw a blazing fire in the direction of the Jin family's old house."

No one had told her the date before.

"I think he died on that day."

However, she only had time to take a quick look before the maid came and locked the door again.

"That's all I know, if you believe what I say."

After listening to Mu Rongyin's narration, Ying Baoyue remained silent for a long time.

She didn't know whether telepathy existed between lovers, but what Mu Rongyin said could only be explained by telepathy.

Considering the unrecognizable burns on Yun Zhongjun's face, although it is unknown how Jin Yun did it, there is no doubt that he was still alive when the fire started and escaped from the sea of ​​fire.

As for how deep the relationship between Mu Rongyin and Jin Yun is, there is no need to say more.

Mu Rongyin's narration throughout was very calm and restrained, as if she was telling someone else's story.

For this woman, she followed her family's decisions all her life and never did anything out of the ordinary.

She didn't do anything wrong.

What about Jin Yun who escaped from the fire and changed his appearance?
What did he do wrong?

Ying Baoyue looked at the woman sitting quietly beside the bed, feeling angry.

This is really... an injustice.

"So what do you want to do now?"

Ying Baoyue looked at Mu Rongyin, hesitant to speak, "You want to see him?"

Mu Rongyin came back to her senses and nodded.

"But you know..."

Ying Baoyue gritted her teeth and hesitated to speak, "Do you know how many people he has killed?"
