Chapter 371 Heroes Meeting (19)

When Guicheng was defeated, Ban Xiyu was still in her infancy. Although the elders in her family had told her an overview of the battle in Guicheng when she grew up, she was still curious when she heard General Wan talk about the old events.

She asked: "Have you been missing for a long time? General Wan, is there something hidden in this?"

"Actually, my subordinates have always believed that the truth behind Guicheng's defeat may not be simple." General Wan said: "At that time, King Xuanping's father, Mr. Fu Lan, was also guarding Guicheng with General Ban Zhao."

Seonyoung and Seonyoung were at constant war, and among the wars that spanned decades, the Battle of Gyuseong was particularly brutal. No one present knew about this old incident.

Senior Sun said: "I remember that the Daxuan soldiers were trapped in Guicheng and could not get out. Even though they sent troops to ask for help, they still ended up defeated."

"Having said that, there is still no news about the team sent by General Ban Zhao to ask for help. Master Fu Lan and a group of cronies disappeared after leaving Guicheng." General Wan said:
"And when my subordinates fled Guicheng, they heard that Master Fu Lan was attacked on the way to seek help and died unfortunately. And no one of the guards who accompanied Mr. Fu Lan to leave survived.

"However, after careful investigation by my subordinates, I discovered that the whereabouts of Deputy Liu who was supposed to escort Mr. Fu Lan was a mystery. The government did not find his body at the scene of the incident."

General Wan sighed softly: "We thought that Vice General Liu would be dead before Lord Fu Lan was assassinated, but we didn't expect..."

Ban Xiyu glanced at the bones on the ground: "I didn't expect that Vice General Liu's bones would appear in Honghu Villa."

"This matter is too unbelievable." Senior Sun clenched his chin and said, "The soldiers of the imperial court are related to Honghu Villa..."

At this moment, the silent Wen Jisheng looked at the corpses in front of him and said, "Perhaps Daxuan's defeat in the Battle of Guicheng has something to do with Vice General Liu and Honghu Villa."

After the words fell, Ban Xiyu turned to look at him.

There were countless indescribable and unexplainable emotions hidden in Wen Jisheng's dark eyes. His eyes were like a pair of hands, holding Ban Xiyu tightly.

Having known him for such a long time, Ban Xiyu saw such a nervous and uneasy look on his face for the first time.

But in just a brief moment of looking at each other, Ban Xiyu immediately realized what Wen Jisheng was worried about.

She held his cold fingertips and said softly: "Jiang Yin is Jiang Yin, you are you. I only recognize you." She clearly understood that Wen Jisheng was an independent individual, and he and he Jiang Yin only has a biological relationship.

He is not Jiang Yin, and he will not become Jiang Yin.

But obviously what Wen Jisheng was thinking was much more complicated than hers.

Regardless of whether Jiang Yin had anything to do with the Battle of Guicheng, or whether he had a hand in General Ban Zhao's death, at this moment, Wen Jisheng thought that Jiang Yin was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and it was difficult to face Ban Xiyu. .

It was as if there was an invisible chasm between the two of them. He looked at his sweetheart on the other side of the cliff, but was unable to cross the chasm and fell into despair for a moment.

Ban Xiyu seemed to notice his silent struggle and wanted to say something, but the time was not right now.

But before she spoke, Wen Jisheng looked at her and smiled. He softly said "Yes", then turned to General Wan and others and said: "No matter what the truth is, this is an important clue. What does General Wan think? Should we take this corpse out of Honghu Villa?"

General Wan frowned deeply and said solemnly: "It is related to the truth of the battle of Guicheng, and it also involves the court and the rivers and lakes. Since I know this matter, I must give an explanation to the soldiers - I also ask all heroes to do me a favor. Help me take out Vice Admiral Liu’s body.”

These Jianghu people have always claimed to be the righteous people in the martial arts world, so when faced with General Wan's request, they would naturally agree to it.

"What's so difficult about this? Don't worry, General Wan. No matter what, we will help you." Senior Sun said: "Let's... wrap up the corpse first." As they spoke, everyone pulled down the curtains and spread them out. , and when they lifted up the corpse, a piece of white bone fell out of the corpse that had been decayed for many years, and at the same time, a piece of clothes stained with black and red bloodstains was brought out.

General Wan glanced at him and immediately stopped: "Wait!"

Everyone was stunned: "What?"

General Wan didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and turned over the piece of bloody clothing. After flipping through it, everyone clearly saw that there was a bulging layer inside the corner of the clothes, and it was obvious that there was something hidden inside.

"It's a blood letter." General Wan said. He only glanced at the blood letter briefly, and his expression changed slightly on the spot.

Ban Xiyu: "Take it and have a look."

She looked down and saw several lines of black characters written in blood:
"The defeat of Guicheng was not because the enemy was strong and we were weak, but because the rebellious ministers and traitors collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. Qi Lin, the leader of the rebel ministers, colluded with the commander-in-chief of Rongguo and surrendered Guicheng with both hands..."

Such few words shocked Ban Xiyu's heart.

She was stunned: it turned out that her father was really killed by a villain when he turned pale. And this villain is none other than Qi Shangshu, a powerful official in Daxuan.

Over the years, the Ban family had devoted all their efforts to Daxuan, just to protect Daxuan's territory from foreign invasion. Unexpectedly, their defeat was actually done by the imperial court's own people.

If the daring loyalty of the ministers has become a tool for the rebellious ministers and traitors to obtain benefits, then what are the sacrifices of countless soldiers in the decades of war with Rongguo?
Ban Xiyu held the blood book tightly with both hands, and his eyes were firmer than ever before: "Qi Lin has a high position, and he mentioned Linlang Pavilion and Lost Soul Grass several times in his letters to Jiang Yin, which shows that he is very ambitious. .

"If it is not stopped, it will definitely lead to catastrophe in the future. So we must find ways to spread this news back to Beijing."

Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan are fighting against the princelings in the capital. They are in the middle of the game, so they may not be able to find out the leader of the thieves behind Linlang Pavilion.

If they can deliver all the letters, account books, and blood letters in the secret room to Lou Xiyue, then these evidences will definitely be a big help in bringing down Linlang Pavilion!
Wen Jisheng agreed: "With such irrefutable proof, even if Qi Lin's power is overwhelming, it is impossible for him to escape unscathed. We can be considered as eliminating harm for the people."

"Hey, don't talk so much, we'd better find a way out seriously!"

After the words fell, everyone suddenly heard a muffled "bang" not far away, and then someone said in surprise: "It's open, it's open, the secret passage is open!"

Everyone looked around and saw a swordsman pointing at the secret door that slowly opened and said excitedly: "I just clicked here casually a few times, but I didn't expect that I actually found the mechanism! No, the door won't open." What! It’s still me..."

Before the swordsman finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from the secret passage, and everyone looked stern -

"Who, who's in there?"

Immediately, a candlelight was reflected from the secret passage.

The next moment, a man in gray clothes walked out.

Seeing the crowd of people in the secret room, the man was also stunned. But when he saw someone in the crowd, his eyes immediately lit up: "General Wan, my subordinates have finally found you!"

At the same time, two old men followed the man: "Have you found General Wan?"

In an instant, Ban Xiyu opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Grandpa and grandma!——"
