Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 117
Xie Zi'an fell to the ground a little bit unbearably, with his head lowered, and said intermittently: "At that time, my father asked Liu Yunheng to guard the food and grass in the rear. When the war was at a stalemate, our side was short of food and grass, and the court’s food and grass were delayed, so my father asked Liu Yunheng to meet it. And I, I need to lead the vanguard to fight against an iron cavalry in Beijin. Liu Yunheng found me and hoped to join the vanguard Army, it is equally important to provide food and grass, after the two of us discussed, he led the vanguard to meet the Beijin cavalry, and I went to receive food and grass."

Liu Yunxiang's body tensed up, wishing he could go up and slap Xie Zian twice.Even if Liu Yunheng went to look for him, he would absolutely not agree. One went to the front to fight, one went to the rear to transport food, one had a narrow escape, and the other was supposed to be in no danger. If a big man like him was not greedy for life and afraid of death, how could he agree.

Yan Mu sneered coldly, "Such a major event can only be done if the two of you discuss it in private. The old Hou really doesn't know?"

Xie Zianmo, "Father only found out about it after Liu Yunheng led the vanguard to go to battle."

I got it, but I didn't immediately replace him. Obviously, the old Hou Ye also had selfish intentions.

Liu Yunxiang closed her eyes, after all, she mistrusted them.

"I picked up the grain and grass, and then encountered heavy rain, lost my way in a hurry, and after some twists and turns, I was ambushed again. After that... I was also injured, and fell in a daze among the dead. I managed to save my life. Later I fled back to the barracks, but after three days of fierce fighting, our army was completely annihilated, I saw the corpses of countless soldiers, I also saw the corpses of my elder brother, but I didn't see my father and Liu Yunheng."

Fan Yi brought Xie Zi'an's confession to Yan Mu to read. It said that after encountering an ambush, seeing that his form was not good, he led a few soldiers to flee in a hurry. Next, in order to save his life, he actually covered himself with the soldier's corpse, thus saving his life.

Seeing this, Yan Mu couldn't help stepping forward and kicking Xie Zi'an, "You idiot!"

Xie Zian hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Master Yan, please forgive me, I have told you everything I know, you...for Liu Yunxiang's sake, spare my life!"

Yan Mu stepped on the back of Xie Zi'an's hand and crushed it hard, "You're a fucking man too!"

Liu Yunxiang pulled Yan Mu back, and said in a low voice, "Ask him again, I really didn't see the bodies of the old Hou Ye and my brother."

Yan Mu rubbed his nose, stepped forward and asked Xie Zian according to Liu Yunxiang's words.

"I really didn't see where it might be."

When leaving the imperial prison, Yan Mu ordered the people below to continue to interrogate Xie Zian, mainly about the news about the batch of grain.

When he came outside, Yan Mu turned to look at Liu Yunxiang, and saw her frowning, thinking about something, "What are you thinking?"

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, "I was thinking, if my brother is not dead, where is he?"

Yan Mu frowned, "How do you know that your brother is not dead?"

Liu Yunxiang didn't know how to explain to Yan Mu that there were rumors in the previous life that the Northern Expedition Army was not completely wiped out, but a team of thousands of people entered the northern desert and took root there.

The reason for such rumors is that a soldier returned to Dayong after 30 years, but was killed at home soon.

At that time Liu Yunxiang was already graying at the temples, unable to track down what happened back then, so he could only listen to it as a rumor.

Xie Zi'an's words were not useless, but gave her a lot of confidence. If 1000 people escaped and her brother's body was not seen on the battlefield, it indirectly means that her brother may still be alive.

"As long as I don't see my brother's body, I will believe that he is still alive. After all, Xie Zian came back after three years. My brother is so smart, he will definitely survive. Also, I think the case of Beizheng must be still alive." There are other inside stories, such as where the food and grass that disappeared, you can continue to check."

But she is running out of time, and she can't wait for the day when the truth will be found out.

"Take me home."

After sending Liu Yunxiang back, Yan Mu returned to the imperial prison, grabbed Xie Zi'an's wrist, slashed at it, and then hung his hand up, with a basin attached to it.

The blood fell drop by drop and fell into the water, making a noise.

Every sound hit Xie Zi'an's heart, making him tremble in panic, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse.

"You said you were lost, so how could you fall into the ambush that Beijin pre-set?"

"This……"

"Who led the way?"

"A lieutenant next to me."

"Draw him."

"He was only temporarily transferred to my side. I don't remember what he looked like."

Yan Mu asked him to look at the basin that was already stained red with blood, "You don't have much time."

On the second day, Liu Yunxiang came to the door of the Minister's Mansion.

Jin Yan looked at the Shi Lang's Mansion with the door closed, sighed first, and then went to knock on the door.

The guard at the gate saw that it was Jinyan, and then glanced at Liu Yunxiang outside, telling them to wait a while, and soon after, Steward Xu came.

"Girl, madam, she is not feeling well..."

"So I, a daughter, came to see her."

Butler Xu sighed, "Madam doesn't want to see you, you know that."

"I have news about Yunheng."

Upon hearing this, Steward Xu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Miss, hurry up and enter the house."

In the previous life, her mother passed away early because she was too sad for her younger brother.She is not filial, all she can do is tell her parents about her little brother.

When they came to the east courtyard, Steward Xu went in to report, but came out soon, "Girl, Madam let you in."

Liu Yunxiang went in alone. When he entered the back room, he saw his mother sitting on the Arhat's bed with a haggard face, obviously still ill.Her eyes trembled, she looked at her eagerly, her mouth was opened and closed, but she didn't dare to ask.

Liu Yunxiang sat down and held his mother's hand, "I know a doctor who is very skilled in medicine. I invite her to give you a diagnosis and treatment, okay?"

Mrs. Liu shook her head, "Your brother..."

Liu Yunxiang sighed, told his mother not to worry, and then slowly said: "I asked Xie Zi'an later, and he said that my brother didn't go with him to transport food, and he had returned to the battlefield before Beijin burned his corpse. I only saw the corpse of Uncle Xie's family, but did not see the corpses of Old Hou Ye and Yun Heng."

"What... what does this mean?"

"The fur guys in my shop went to the north, and they heard a rumor there that the Northern Expeditionary Army didn't die back then, but a small group of people entered the northern desert."

Mrs. Liu grabbed Liu Yunxiang's hand tightly, "You said your brother...he didn't die...but..."

Liu Yunxiang hissed at Mrs. Liu, "Mother, Beizheng's case has been investigated and investigated again and again, and it involves a lot. We just need to know it ourselves, and don't say it outside, or we will only harm our younger brothers and the others."

"But...but that doesn't mean your brother is still alive."

"My younger brother is smart, and his kung fu is not bad. I think if others can survive, so can he."

But in fact, she really couldn't tell whether her brother was dead or alive, but when her mother heard this, she had hope in her heart, so she wouldn't be too sad.

"Mother, as long as my brother is still alive, no matter it is ten or twenty years or longer, he will definitely come back, you have to wait for him."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she felt like a dry sapling filled with water, and immediately stood up, "I'll wait, I'll definitely wait until he comes back."
