Li Qingru.
Yu Zhi never thought that Li Qingru would come.
Qiu Ruoruo never thought that Li Qingru would come overnight after receiving the summons.
Squeak!
The door opened, and Yu Zhi called out to his aunt with a little weakness.
The weak candlelight dispersed some darkness and illuminated Yu Zhi's face.
Li Qingru glanced at Yu Zhi and walked straight into the room. "Have you met her?"
Yu Zhi asked in confusion: "Who... is she?"
Yu Zhi was astute and had a premonition that Li Qingru's trip tonight had an ulterior motive.
"Princess Chu, Jiang Xiyue." Li Qingru said.
Jiang Xiyue, this was the first time Yu Zhi knew this name. This was the name of Princess Chu.
Yu Zhi replied: "I have seen it."
Li Qingru picked the wick and made the candle brighter, enough to see the whole room and the people in the room clearly.
Li Qingru said: "You have always wanted to know your life experience, but I have never told you. Today is the time. I will tell you everything, and after today, the danger you face will not only be Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry .”
Yu Zhi was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "It has something to do with Jiang Xiyue, right?"
Li Qingru said calmly: "Yes."
Qiu Ruoruo pulled Li Wantong towards the outside of the house. Yu Zhi's life experience was secret, which was enough to shock the entire Dachu. The fewer people who know, the better.
But I heard Li Qingru continue to say: "Ruoruo, Tong'er, you all stay too. Sooner or later, you will know these things."
Li Qingru looked at Yu Zhi, with countless emotions in his heart. To this day, Li Qingru still finds it difficult to let go of the storm that happened many years ago.
"Your father's name is Yu Shanhe, and he is the brother of Hao Miao and I. This matter has been talked about for a long time, and we have to start talking about it from the last dynasty."
"More than thirty years ago, in the three northern provinces, there were prairie wolves looking at them outside, and there were hundreds of thousands of mountains and countless sects with evil intentions inside, causing internal and external troubles. Even if there were 100,000 northern troops, it was difficult to calm down the crisis in the northern territory."
"In order to stabilize the northern border of Da Chu, the late emperor sent the royal guards to the northern border to fight against the outside world. Among them, your father is one of them. The royal guards have a mysterious identity and are the leaders secretly cultivated by the royal family."
"When the Northern Territory was secretly quelling the chaos, your father, in order to better intimidate the Northern Territory, killed those with evil intentions, and the Beidou Camp was established in his hands. He was also the first coach of the Beidou Camp. After many years of With the development, the Beidou Battalion grew and became a secret force in the Northern Army. Although the Beidou Battalion is under the Northern Army, it has its own authority to act and only obeys the emperor's orders."
"After operating in the Northern Territory for several years, the Northern Territory only heard that there was a mysterious force in the Northern Territory Army, but could not know the details. Even in the entire Northern Territory Army, only the head coach of the Northern Territory Army and a few people knew the real Beidou camp."
Yu Zhi remembered the policeman named Wang Shi in Shuntian Prefecture. He claimed to be a former general of Beidou Camp and had inexplicable hostility towards Yu Zhi. But at that time, Yu Zhi could not find any clues about Beidou Camp no matter what.
Yu Zhi thought for a while and said, "Does Beidou Camp no longer exist now?"
Li Qingru sighed and nodded sadly: "That's right. In the year you were born, Beidou Camp was burned to the ground and was lost in history."
Qiu Ruoruo and Li Wantong had never heard of these things before, and besides being curious, they were still curious.
"When the Beidou Camp was first established, some sects in the Shiwanda Mountains often did evil in the world. Their lives were like grass and grass, and they burned, killed, and robbed like mountain bandits. But these sects were extraordinary in strength, and they were not afraid of the enemy due to their cultivation. The Chu court. The Beidou camp is not strong enough to deter these sects."
"Then your father took us deep into Shiwan Mountain and walked among the evil sects. In one day, a knife cut off more than a dozen heads on the monument and hung them in the north. In front of the city gate of Liang Mansion, these sects were restrained."
When Yu Zhi and the other three heard this, they were all shocked. The sects in the northern border all have a rich background. The strong ones above the Open Monument can also become sect elders in top sects such as Shenyin Pavilion and Cangshan. In weaker sects, such as Lingxiao Sect, it is enough to become the leader of a sect.
Yu Zhi believed that his father was definitely not picking on weaklings.
"Auntie, is my father really that powerful?" Yu Zhi asked suspiciously.
Li Qingru had endless pride on her face. She was also a participant and witness of this glorious period.
Li Qingru continued: "This is just the tip of the glory. The chaos in the northern border was in Shiwandashan. After that incident, Shiwandashan was peaceful for many years. Although some sects were also testing the bottom line of Beidou Camp, it was always There has been a lot of restraint. The people of the three northern prefectures have lived a stable life for several years. During this period, the Beidou Camp also secretly grew, recruiting talents, improving the organization, and then there were the Seven Star Generals of the Beidou."
"A few years later, those sects that were unwilling to remain silent resurrected. They secretly communicated with the Prairie Wolf Court and wanted to control the three northern mansions and become independent from the Chu Dynasty. For a time, the northern border was in turmoil and war broke out. That night, ten people The Wanbei Border Army marched hundreds of miles toward the grassland, while the Beidou Battalion rushed out and broke into the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
"In just one night, before dawn, the Big Dipper will come out in seven directions, and the swords will stand up, crushing the mountain gate, and blood will flow into a river. The sect that was known as the number one in the north at that time was completely wiped out, and the sect's ancestral land collapsed , now only a ruin is left. And some sects were frightened out of their courage, fearing that they would be affected, so they offered their sect master's orders one after another. Now some sects' sect master's orders have not returned to Shiwanda Mountain."
Yu Zhi's blood boiled with passion when he heard this, and the sight of those extremely arrogant sects bowing their heads appeared in his eyes. This is something that even a hundred thousand northern troops have never done.
He thought again of the even more arrogant Wei Wuji. In front of Cangshan Mountain, Wei Wuji had never laid eyes on Cang Shui, and the look on his face was even more impressive than Cang Shui's. It has always been because of this glorious past.
Back then, what did Cangshan mean before Beidou Camp?
Speaking of this, Li Qingru sighed, glory is the past after all, and cruelty is the truth of the world.
"After that night, the conspiracy of the Prairie Wolf Court and the northern sects was ended, the northern territory became stable, and Qinggu was established from that time to supervise the sects in the Shiwan Mountain. Although the Beidou Camp is unparalleled in bravery, it has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats , but after all, few people know about it. Your father does not seek fame, but only wants to protect the peace of the country. Therefore, the Beidou Battalion always acts in the name of the Northern Border Army, and very few people know the inside story. "
Yu Zhi said: "Since Beidou Camp is invincible, whose hands will it destroy?"
Yu Zhi was puzzled. Unless a tenth-grade master took action, Beidou Camp could be wiped out with the power of destroying the ancient world. What's more important is that today, there is no record about Beidou Camp, as if Beidou Camp never existed.
"Conspiracy." Li Qingru's face was ashen, which was enough to show her anger. "In the year you were born, the late emperor was critically ill. The princes had been fighting for the throne for many years. There was an undercurrent in Kyoto. Everyone knew that after the new king succeeded to the throne, there would be a bloody reckoning."
"Therefore, everyone is vying for the throne for their master. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. Many forces are complicated. Even if your father is far away in the north and wants not to participate in this dispute, how can you stay safe in troubled times?"
Qiu Ruoruo looked at Yu Zhi, and she knew that the prince and Yu Zhi were on good terms, and that the dispute between the crown prince and Yu Zhi would also involve Yu Zhi in the whirlpool.
Yu Zhi also understood and said: "Who doesn't covet the power of Beidou Camp? If Beidou Camp helps, it can at least increase the chance of winning by 10%."
"You are right." Li Qingru continued, "Although your father rejected all the princes' offers, he still fell into the chaos in Kyoto."
"Twenty years ago, an imperial edict came from Kyoto to the north. The late emperor was critically ill, and the Beidou Battalion returned to Kyoto to escort him. There are imperial guards in Kyoto, and there are five cities of soldiers and horses, so why do you need the Beidou Battalion to protect you? Although you have doubts in your heart, your father He went anyway. He took the Tianshu and Yuheng stars of the Big Dipper to Kyoto."
"On the night we entered Kyoto, another imperial edict came. The edict said that Beidou Camp secretly entered the capital and had any rebellious intentions. He would be killed on the spot!"
"This is a plan, an extremely vicious plan. Your father doesn't want to believe that this is the imperial edict of the late emperor, and plans to enter the palace to face the emperor. But the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops did not give your father and Beidou Camp this opportunity."
"After a bloody night of fighting, the Beidou Camp, no matter how powerful it was, was unable to cope with the various calculations of the mastermind behind the scenes. Countless forbidden troops broke through the Beidou Camp's defenses. Your father also died that night, with no bones left."
"The commander of the imperial army at that time was Xiang Ji, the current king of Chu."
Yu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "But doesn't this prove that Xiang Ji was the mastermind behind my father's murder?"
Qiu Ruoruo also said: "The key lies in those two imperial edicts. There is a problem with the imperial edict."
Li Qingru knew that these would never be enough to convince the public. "Yes. If Xiang Ji is the commander of the Forbidden Army alone, this can only be said to be speculation and cannot be proved."
Li Qingru did not delve into the topic of Xiang Ji. She looked at Yu Zhi and said: "The Beidou Battalion soldiers who entered Kyoto were all destroyed. However, your father also left some people in the north to protect your mother and you who were not yet born. .”
"After I learned about the incident in Kyoto, I thought that your mother would soon encounter something unexpected. As expected, on the night you were born, almost all the soldiers of the Beidou Battalion who guarded your mother were wiped out, and Dong Bao of Tianxuan Star fought Death, Tianji Star Su Ruyu has disappeared."
"Fortunately, Haomiao rushed back from Shiwandashan. When he found you, you were only a few hours old, crying in the sea of fire. He fled with you for several days, and even I didn't know his Whereabouts. It wasn’t until half a month later that he brought you to Nanzhou Capital.”
Li Qingru did not mention the details of that night, nor how Li Haomiao brought a newborn baby from the north all the way south, but the escape journey was self-evidently difficult and dangerous.
Yu Zhi never thought that his survival was entirely due to his uncle Li Haomiao, who was usually very unreliable.
For a moment, Yu Zhi didn't know what he felt in his heart.
Li Wantong sat considerately next to Yu Zhi and gently held Yu Zhi's cold palm. She knew that no matter how strong a young man was, it would be difficult for him to bear such a tragic past.
Tears seemed about to fall, but were stuffed back into his eyes by the young man.
Yu Zhi looked at Li Qingru silently and asked, "Did my mother abandon me?"
