Although Huo Xiang was puzzled, he still said honestly: "Guo Tai, as for that bastard Mr. Guo, you are the lover of Huang Shaolan, the victim of the murder case. I secretly met him once before, so he might recognize you, so I'd better avoid it. , Weird thing, why is he here..."

Wan Yanjing didn't care about Guotai or Wan Tai. She asked hurriedly: "It's not him, but next to him? Whose jade flute makes a faint sound... What does he look like?"

Whose jade flute was flying quietly... Huo Xiang's eyes flickered twice.

Of course he paid extra attention. That hateful copycat who looked like a dog and wore an eyepatch might have traveled through time like him. How could he not pay attention?
So he described his appearance to Wan Yanjing in detail.

"What do you think, do you know who that is?" He actually dared to blatantly copy Li Bai's great skills to show off, so shameless.

Wanyanjing was stunned for a moment and shook her head. No, it was impossible. The news of her brother's death caused an uproar that year. How could it be faked?And there has been no news for so many years.

However, there was another voice in her heart that kept reminding her why she couldn't?
Just like the originally dead Wanyan Zhong and the dead Shi Piansheng, perhaps it is not the resurrection of the dead, but the fake death of the living.

"I can't mistake the emperor's voice. Besides, he did die from being pierced by thousands of arrows back then, and his right eye was indeed pierced by a sword." Wanyanjing said after thinking for a while.

"Brother Royal? Which Brother Royal? Could it be..."

"That's right, the only one I can still recognize by voice after all these years is my half-brother Wan Yanxu."

While they were talking, they had already returned to the inn. Huo Xiang asked the waiter to deliver a lot of food. Wanyanjing's excitement at seeing her brother who had come back from the dead had completely calmed down. In the spirit of eating one meal at a time, she started to feast.

While eating, she told Huo Xiang the story of her brother's death.

"My father, the emperor, has many children, and my elder brother ranks fourth. He is handsome and possesses both civil and military skills. We share the same mother and we share a deep affection."

"Six years ago, I heard that the Qin State was going to tear up the alliance, send assassins to assassinate my father, and prepare for a full-scale invasion of Dajin. So I informed my brother through my maid Luosu, and my brother planned my escape back to the country. The plan, but I didn’t expect it to be a trap.”

"I don't know where the news was leaked. I was hunted down all the time on my way back to my country, and all the people who responded to me were killed or injured. I originally thought that people inside the Qin State wanted to kill me because I leaked the news. Indeed, I After escaping for several days, the soldiers who ambushed us in Guangmao Mountain were wearing Qin military uniforms, and when I woke up, I found myself sleeping in King Xuan’s military camp, which confirmed my suspicion."

"But a few years later, I learned that the person who ambushed us in the first place was Da Jin's secret agent in Qin. They mobilized many soldiers and horses not only to kill me, but to pave the way for my brother's death."

"The news of the death of the fourth emperor brother came not long before the fall of the Jin Dynasty. It was said that the brother was killed by the troops ambushed by King Xuan. Huo Xiang hit the emperor brother's right eye with a sword, and the emperor brother's attendants led him to break out of the encirclement. Then he left, and was pierced by random arrows from the Qin army in the end." Although Huo Xiang knew that the "Huo Xiang" Wan Yanjing mentioned was the original owner and had nothing to do with him, he still couldn't help feeling guilty and couldn't help but interjected: "Ah, this, Then your imperial brother is still alive now, so there must be some hidden secrets about what happened back then?"

Wanyanjing knocked on the table twice, signaling him to be quiet and listen to her continue: "I knew the inside story back then. I asked King Xuan about it at that time, and he said that he kept it, but it was just a matter of deposing the emperor. , as for my royal brother being shot dead by random arrows, it has nothing to do with him, he is not his person."

"King Xuan doesn't seem like a person who would lie about such a trivial matter. I believe him. The reason for his brother's death may be due to the handiwork of Daxia, Beiji and other countries. Of course, the princelings in the Kingdom of Jin don't want him to go back alive. possible."

"But Qin and Jin officially started a war. Qin wanted to expand its territory and unify the world. Although my father didn't like war, he couldn't help the four princes in the country who were eager for revenge. So, driven by various forces, this national war started The battle begins."

Huo Xiang glanced at Wanyan Jing's calm face and said cautiously: "I know the ending. I heard that my original owner was extremely brave and directly destroyed Dajin. However, except for the princess of the clan who married far away, no one in the Dajin royal family survived. . But if your brother Wanyan Xu is not dead, which is the trigger of this war, is it possible that he himself is the mastermind behind all this?"

Wanyanjing rubbed her brows: "This is absolutely impossible. Why would my brother do such a thankless thing? If he really did it, what was his purpose?"

Huo Xiang rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Are you really sure that's your brother? Maybe it's just that the voice is similar, or maybe he's a person in disguise. In that case, we might as well go and meet him in person."

Wanyanjing refused without thinking: "No, who knows what his condition is now. What if he has amnesia like you? He is with Guo Tai now. If he doesn't believe us, we will inform Mr. Guo's people instead." Then aren’t we doomed?”

In fact, she was only [-]% sure that she had not mistakenly identified the person. After all, as Huo Xiang said, the voice and face could be fake, and her brother had been dead for more than five years.

Huo Xiang nodded, feeling that Wan Yanjing was right. Just based on the sentence "Whose jade flute is flying secretly", her imperial brother was probably switched.

He must try it out if he has the chance. It is so rare to meet an old friend in a foreign country.

Thinking of this, he seemed to mention casually: "The poem he recited does have some meaning, 'The sound of someone's jade flute is flying darkly, spreading into the spring breeze all over the city.' Have you heard it before? I wonder if it is. Xiaque?"

When Wanyanjing heard this, she raised her eyelids with a smile but not a smile: "This poem was written by Huo Xiang, King of Wuxuan, when he visited Luyang ten years ago. It was later widely praised. Why, Axiang, you feel familiar with it too?"
