Chapter 869 Shocking Facts

"Brother Yu, you don't really come from the Red Flame Army, do you?"

Yan Yujin only felt that his tongue was dry and his voice trembled slightly, mainly because this answer was too scary.

Zhou Chen smiled, instead of answering directly, he asked instead: "Why, don't you also think that the Red Flame Army and the old man of King Qi were all traitors who conspired?"

Yan Yujin immediately shook his head and said, "Of course not. I don't know what other people think. Anyway, in my opinion, they are all good people and not traitors. Even my father thinks so. There must be grievances about what happened back then. .”

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Yujin, although you are young, I really like your character. You seem to be unrestrained, but you are actually very smart. You have more ideas in your heart than anyone else."

"Really? Am I really being so obvious?" Yan Yujin smirked.

Normally, Xiao Jingrui would definitely scold him, but at this moment, Zhou Chen has already attracted his attention.

"Brother Yu, are you, what you just said is true? Did you and Brother Su really survive the Meiling fire 14 years ago?"

"You do not believe?"

"No, I just find it incredible. You just said that you and Brother Su's backgrounds are no worse than mine and Yujin's, but there are not many people in the Red Flame Army who meet this condition."

Seeing Xiao Jingrui's hesitation and excitement, Zhou Chen said silently, "You can directly express your guess."

Xiao Jingrui took a deep breath, and even Yan Yujin's expression was serious.

"The first person I can think of who is suitable for his age and status is brother Lin Shu. He is the son of Lin Shuai and my aunt, and his status is not lower than mine."

Zhou Chen's expression didn't change, and he asked calmly, "What else?"

Xiao Jingrui continued: "I don't know much about the Chiyan Army back then, and I don't have many people I'm familiar with, but I've heard about what happened back then, and there was a special person who was good friends with brother Lin Shu. , Brother Zhou Chen who succeeded Wu Chenghou."

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "You also said that you don't know much about the Chiyan Army. Although Zhou Chen's status is not low, he is indeed not outstanding in the Chiyan Army. It is not easy for you to even know him."

"Brother Yu and Brother Su, who are you?"

Xiao Jingrui had already guessed something, but he was so excited that he still didn't dare to say it.

Yan Yujin did the same, staring at Zhou Chen closely.

Zhou Chen didn't hold back anymore, and said directly, "You guessed it right, Mei Changsu is Lin Shu, and I am Zhou Chen."

"boom!"

Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin felt their minds shake at the same time, and were startled by Zhou Chen's answer.

"This this……"

The most shocking thing is to guess the guess and get the confirmation.

Xiao Jingrui muttered to himself: "How is this possible, Brother Lin Shu and the others already..."

"That's why I just said that we are ghosts who escaped from Meiling."

The answers they heard were so shocking that Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin didn't know how to react for a while.

Xiao Jingrui is relatively simple, but now he just finds it incredible, especially that Mei Changsu is his brother Lin Shu, and this news has shaken her too much.

Thinking of Lin Shu's brother's kindness to him when he was a child, thinking of his friendship with Mei Changsu, and his resentment towards Mei Changsu because of what happened that day...

For a moment, he didn't know what kind of mentality he would have to face Mei Changsu, the brother Lin Shu whom he admired the most in the past.

Yan Yujin thought much more than Xiao Jingrui. After knowing the true identities of Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu, he was also shocked, but at the same time he thought of more, especially what happened in the capital in the past two years.

He suddenly understood a lot. Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen came to the capital for their own purpose, which was for the unjust case of Chi Yan back then.

It took a long time for Xiao Jingrui to recover from the loss of consciousness and panic, but his eyes became red and his spirit became very bad.

"Brother Yu, no, Brother Zhou Chen, can you tell me what happened back then? Why did the loyal Chiyan Army and the revered King Qi suddenly become like that..."

Zhou Chen said: "Jingrui, you don't actually need to ask me. Do you still remember the handwritten letter that Xie Yu left for your mother before he was assigned? You go back and ask your mother to come. When you see the handwritten letter, you will will understand everything."

"Brother Zhou Chen..."

"Go, Jing Rui, the reason why I told you this today is not for any other purpose. I just want to tell you that Xiaoshu is really bitter, and he is really good to you. He didn't mean to hurt you at the beginning. You, but you have no choice, you may not understand now, but after reading that manuscript, you will understand."

"Go back, Jing Rui."

Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin left Zhou Chen's mansion, but they didn't separate immediately. The main reason was that Xiao Jingrui's mental state was very bad, and Yan Yujin was worried about him, so he planned to send him back in person.

Xiao Jingrui had just returned to the eldest princess' mansion, and before he had time to find his mother, his younger sister Xie Qi ran over.

"Brother, where have you been? My mother was assassinated when she went out today. Go and have a look."

"what?"

Xiao Jingrui was taken aback, and rushed to his mother's room without thinking about anything else.

He was relieved when he saw that his mother, Princess Liyang, was safe and sound.

"Mother, are you alright?"

Princess Liyang shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

Xiao Jingrui frowned and said, "Mother, you have always lived in seclusion, how could you be assassinated?"

Princess Liyang was also at a loss: "I don't know what's going on, who would specially send someone to assassinate me, an insignificant person who doesn't care about world affairs?"

Xiao Jingrui suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said anxiously: "Mother, could it be because of the handwritten letter that Xie Hou left for you back then?"

"Handwriting?"

Princess Liyang thought about it: "You mean, I was assassinated because of that handwriting?"

"Mother, have you read that handwriting?"

"No, he said at the beginning that this handwriting can save his life. As long as nothing happens to him, let me protect this handwriting and don't let anyone read it."

Xiao Jingrui's eyes flickered, and he said eagerly: "Now Xie Hou has an accident in Qianzhou, maybe the assassin came here for this operation, mother, we should know the assassin's purpose after reading this manuscript, and we can also know what to do." Cope with it."

"Will you watch it now?"

"Ah."

Princess Liyang hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, then watch, let's watch together."

Xiao Jingrui didn't object, so Princess Liyang opened the kit and took out the handwritten book inside, and the mother and son read it together.

After reading it, both mother and son were silent.

Xiao Jingrui was mentally prepared. Although he was shocked, he could still remain calm.

Princess Liyang has experienced too many things. Although the contents of the handwriting are shocking, she is not too flustered.

"So it is, so it is."

Xiao Jingrui finally understood the meaning of Zhou Chen's words.

If the truth was told by Zhou Chen, he would be more or less skeptical, but this handwriting was written by Xie Yu himself, so it really couldn't be truer.

With an upright personality, after he knew the truth, his first thought was to report it to clear up the grievances of the Chiyan Army.

But Princess Liyang stopped him desperately and refused to let him go.

…………

As soon as Yan Yujin returned home, he saw his father waiting for him.

"Why did you come back so late?"

"Father."

Yan Que frowned, and asked, "Yujin, what happened? I can feel that something is wrong with you."

Yan Yujin opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer. What Zhou Chen told him and Xiao Jingrui today was too shocking, and Zhou Chen trusted him, so he let him listen in. He didn't know whether he should tell his father .

Yan Que also saw his son's entanglement, so he waited quietly without urging him.

After a while, Yan Yujin couldn't help asking: "Father, what if, I said what if, if I encountered a very, very big injustice case, you still know some of the truth, but if it gets out , is likely to bring great danger to myself, do you think I will do nothing, or should I do something?"

Yan Que's face changed suddenly, and he stood up straight from his sitting posture.

"Yujin, the prince is looking for you?"

Yan Yujin was at a loss: "Prince? Why is His Highness looking for me?"

Yan Que was also surprised: "Isn't the crown prince looking for you? Don't you mean the Chiyan case and King Qi case more than ten years ago?"

"what?"

Yan Yujin's face was shocked: "Father, you also know that Brother Lin Shu and the others are still alive?"

Yan Que's expression suddenly changed: "What did you say? Lin Shu is still alive?"

Yan Yujin quickly covered his mouth. He realized that he had said something wrong. It was no wonder that his father and brother had mentioned the Chiyan case and King Qi case. His first reaction was that his father already knew about it.

Yan Que didn't give him a chance to remain silent, and asked, "Yujin, tell me what's going on? You said Xiaoshu is still alive, where did you hear about it?"

'Anyway, it's been said, so let's finish it. '

Yan Yujin gritted his teeth and decided to speak out. The most important thing is that he has absolute trust in his father.

"Father, I went to Brother Yu's mansion with Jing Rui today. I also heard from Brother Yu about this matter. He said that his and Brother Su's names are pseudonyms, and they have other identities."

"Brother Su, Mei Changsu, he is actually brother Lin Shu, and brother Yu is actually brother Zhou Chen."

"what?"

Yan Que could no longer maintain his Dao heart, his whole body was shaken, and his brain started working instantly.

After a long time, he sighed faintly: "No wonder, no wonder, I just said how could he know so much about King Qi, no wonder he would support King Jing, if he is Xiao Shu, then everything would be normal."

"Mei Changsu is Xiao Shu, and Gong Ziyu is Xiao Chen, so that's how it is, that's how it is."

Although it was a little unbelievable, Ke Yanque still believed it. In this way, he could figure out many things that he couldn't figure out before.

"Father, do you really believe it?" Yan Yujin felt that his father's reaction was too strange.

"Why don't you believe it?"

"No, I just think it's too weird. Although I was young back then, I met brother Lin Shu and brother Zhou Chen, and I can still vaguely remember their appearance; but the looks of Brother Su and Brother Yu are obviously similar to those of Zhou Chen. They're not the same, are they really the same person?"

In fact, he believed it in his heart, but it was so abnormal that he still had some doubts.

Yan Que said faintly: "Sometimes the truth is unbelievable, but everything has a cause and effect. They became different from the past, maybe because of this."

"Father, what do you mean?"

"Okay, these things are not for you to participate in, so don't think too much about them. Since Xiaoshu and Xiaochen are still alive, as an elder, I can't just stand by and watch."

When Prince Xiao Jingyan found him, he agreed without hesitation. Now that he knew that Lin Shu and Zhou Chen were still alive, he became more determined in his choice.

"Father, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, you go back and rest."

…………

The next day, Xiao Jingrui took his mother to Yangchang Princess to find the crown prince Xiao Jingyan, and happened to meet Xiao Jingyan and Mei Changsu talking about things.

Seeing Mei Changsu again, Xiao Jingrui was very emotional, but he still forcibly restrained his emotions, and told his mother the purpose of coming here.

When Princess Liyang took out Xie Yu's handwriting, Xiao Jingyan was not surprised, because Mei Changsu had already greeted him in advance.

But when he said that he wanted Princess Liyang to sue first, and Princess Liyang agreed without hesitation, he was a little dumbfounded.

Because he had discussed with Mei Changsu before, it would not be easy to convince Aunt Liyang, so he approached Yanhou in advance and said hello in advance.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said it, Aunt Liyang agreed, so that he almost didn't hold back.

Mei Changsu was not surprised, because when he saw the way Xiao Jingrui looked at him, he knew that Zhou Chen had told Xiao Jingrui.

Xiao Jingrui, who knew the truth and his true identity, would definitely persuade Princess Liyang, and Princess Liyang loved Xiao Jingrui the most, so it was only natural to agree to this matter.

Xiao Jingyan discussed with Princess Liyang how to act on Emperor Liang's birthday, while Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingrui went to the courtyard to talk.

"Jing Rui..."

"Su, Brother Lin Shu."

Xiao Jingrui originally wanted to call him Brother Su, but he quickly changed his name.

Mei Changsu smiled slightly, and said, "Don't be nervous, Jing Rui, it seems that Xiao Chen has already told you, but you should still call me Brother Su, after all, my real identity is rather special."

Xiao Jingrui nodded vigorously: "I know, I will only call you Brother Lin Shu when no one is around."

"Brother Lin Shu, I'm sorry."

Mei Changsu smiled gently: "Needless to say I'm sorry, Jing Rui, you didn't feel sorry for me, on the contrary, I was sorry for you, you are a good boy, I took advantage of you."

"No, brother Lin Shu, I don't blame you. If it were me, I might go too far."

Ever since he found out Mei Changsu's identity and the truth about Chi Yan's case, he couldn't sleep last night because he thought a lot.

He put himself in the position of Mei Changsu, feeling that if he were Mei Changsu, he might become more extreme.

Mei Changsu shook his head and said, "No, Jingrui, you are different, even if it were you, you would not change, because you are a kind and gentle person in your bones."

"Brother Lin Shu."

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you. It must be you who persuaded the eldest princess to agree to this matter."

Xiao Jingrui said: "It's not all. My mother already felt guilty about what happened back then, but she thought too much about it, so she didn't do anything."

Mei Changsu smiled slightly and didn't say anything. Although he had some opinions on Princess Liyang, but if Princess Liyang agreed today, he would no longer mind the past.
