Shi Yu met her suspicious eyes and sat calmly.
He was very sure that what Wei Qingyan was doubting at this time was not about whether her daughter's body had been discovered.
There is nothing else he can say.
He said seriously, "When I arrived, the important leaders of the Beiling Army had been killed by Xiao Yan, and the rest only followed orders and did not know the inside story.
Beiling surrendered, and the Beiling Emperor personally admitted that General Wei had killed the late Beiling Emperor. He believed that his father's debt was repaid by his son, and he wanted to kill Xiao Yan to avenge his father. This was one of them.
Secondly, a close confidant of Emperor Beiling, Su Su, analyzed that the Wei Dynasty had been fighting Wu Dan for several years. Although the Wei Dynasty defeated Wu Dan, its military and financial resources must have suffered serious losses.
He encouraged the Beiling Emperor to ambush and kill the general who protected the country of Wei, and then took the opportunity to send troops to Wei.
The Beiling Emperor was mediocre in ability, but he was very happy with his achievements. Bewitched by him, he agreed to lead 150,000 Beiling troops to the Wei Dynasty.
Su Fuyuan thought that the 80,000 Beiling Army could easily kill the 20,000 National Protector Army, so he left 70,000 Beiling Army at the border, intending to coordinate with the 80,000 Army to seize the Wei city, but he did not expect that the 20,000 National Protector Army would be defeated instead. Sixty thousand Beiling troops were killed. "
He looked at Wei Qingyan, "If it weren't for the bravery of the National Guard Army, my king's attack on Beiling would not have been so smooth."
The late emperor once praised the National Guard Army for its bravery and its ability to truly protect the Wei Dynasty. He also knew that the training of the National Guard Army was much harder than that of ordinary troops.
It wasn't until he personally visited the Huangshaling battlefield that he truly understood how brave and fearless they were.
Almost all soldiers held weapons tightly in their hands when they died in battle.
Some had their abdominal cavities cut open by the enemy, dragging their intestines and biting the enemy's throat to death, some holding the enemy and stabbing two people through each other and dying together, and some having their arms cut off and crushing the enemy. Underneath...
Wei Qingyan pondered, "Where was Su Fu at that time?"
Shi Yu's face was hidden in the night, and there was a cold glow in his brows, "He stayed at the border. After hearing that the 80,000 troops were destroyed, he led 70,000 troops back to the border city of Beiling. I captured the border city and killed him. "
died!
Wei Qingyan straightened her lips.
The Beiling Army clamored to capture her alive and sacrifice her to their master.
Is the master in their mouth that Su Su?
Huangshaling knew that the Beiling Army who knew she was a woman was dead, and Su Fu was also dead. Is this why her identity has been concealed until now?
But when they were killed by Shi Yu, did they really not reveal anything to Shi Yu?
Shi Yu's words continued, "Su Fu is a remnant of the previous dynasty. He gained the trust of Emperor Beiling in order to use Beiling to restore the country. He did not really share the same heart with Emperor Beiling."
Remnants of the previous dynasty?
Wei Qingyan was pulled back from his thoughts.
Half of the country of the Wei Dynasty was conquered by the Protector Army. The Protector Army was passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson.
If Su Fu was a remnant of the previous dynasty, it would make sense to target the National Protectorate.
But why don't the people know about these things, even Du Xueyi doesn't know the inside story?
Shi Yu seemed to understand what she was thinking, and explained, "The emperor did not want Su Fu's identity as a remnant from the previous dynasty to be exposed, so as not to cause panic, so he hid this part. Make this public."
Wei Qingyan looked at him quietly, "Those 80,000 troops sneaked into Ganzhou quietly, why didn't the court say anything?"
"Wu Yuchu introduced a county magistrate named Qi at that time, and the 80,000 troops were introduced by Magistrate Qi." Shi Yu's eyes were deep, "Magistrate Qi was a student of the emperor when he ascended the throne, and was the first batch of disciples of the new emperor. The emperor personally sent Ganzhou."
Shi Yu's lips curled up with a touch of sarcasm, "The true identity of Magistrate Qi is Beiling Xizuo. Among the emperor's first disciples is Xizuo from another country. Naturally, he has to hide such a shameful thing."
This is so!
Wei Qingyan lowered his eyes, no wonder Shi Yu would raise troops in Beiling to avenge her, but he never suspected that someone in the Wei Dynasty was collaborating with Beiling.
"Miss Chang, now that I know the truth, please count me in the investigation of the mastermind behind Huangshaling."
Shi Yu looked sincere.
Wei Qing raised his eyes and asked, "No matter who the other party is?"
Shi Yu looked at her, "No matter who it is."
Now he truly understood why she didn't want to reveal her identity when she returned to Beijing.
She's here for revenge.
The enemy is probably the royal family, and he is the royal prince.
Being able to hide the truth about Huangshaling was able to make Wu Yuchu obey orders, and in the end he became the ultimate beneficiary of this battle...
Even if the royal family is not the mastermind, it will be an accomplice or connivator.
Shi Yu suddenly felt lucky.
Fortunately, when Wei Qingyan refused to reveal his identity, he obeyed her and told her without impulsiveness that he actually recognized her.
Otherwise, even the contact in front of me would be impossible.
But thinking about the future, he felt mixed emotions. He was looking forward to her finding out the truth as soon as possible and taking revenge, but he was also worried about that day coming.
Shi Yu sighed quietly.
Whenever something happened to her, it was difficult for him to maintain a calm state of mind.
But the scene of the tragic deaths of Xiao Yan and the National Protector Army was deeply ingrained in their bones. Someone must pay for their blood debt with their lives.
"Okay." Wei Qingyan responded simply, feeling a little complicated in his heart.
Shi Yu was good, but she couldn't pay it back.
Neither of them spoke again, and soon a guard came over to take a shift.
Wei Qingyan walked to Yan Lan, leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes and rested.
When the group returned to the capital, as Shi Yu expected, Wu Yuchu's case came to a conclusion.
This result was one of the rumors Wei Qingyan heard at the inn.
The charlatan fell in love with the courtesan Lilac, but Wu Yuchu stole his heart. He killed Wu Yuchu in a fit of rage. The charlatan is now in prison.
As for Ding Xiang, the ranger thought that she was unclean because she had been with Wu Yuchu, so he killed her.
Her body was also found by the authorities.
Wei Qingyan recalled what his father had said privately, "Although Your Majesty is not as good as the late Emperor, the world is different. The late Emperor was born in troubled times and followed a path that could only lead to victory but not defeat. This path inspired his intelligence to the extreme.
And what your Majesty has to do is to protect the country. Yan'er, the late emperor treated my Wei family well, and our Wei family should also work hard.
Your Majesty is not confused. You must do your best to be loyal. "
Not confused?
Wei Qingyan sneered in his heart.
For the sake of face, he concealed the truth about the troops sent to Beiling, and for the sake of face, he hastily settled the murder case. Where the people don't know, they don't know how many ridiculous things he did for the sake of face.
"Boss, that Lilac's body..." Du Xueyi hesitated.
Wu Yuchu was killed by the boss. Could it be that Ding Xiang was also killed by the boss, so it happened that the government found the body.
Was it actually exposed deliberately by the general?
Wei Qingyan knew what he wanted to ask and said bluntly, "It's not me."
But the guess in my heart was a little clearer.
Thinking that the people behind Wu Yuchu might also be watching this matter, Wei Qingyan paused and said to Du Xueyi, "King Rong is seriously ill. You go to the temple to visit him tomorrow."
serious?
You can accompany them to Hubao Ridge, so why is it so serious?
Du Xueyi was confused for only a moment and said hurriedly, "Okay."
He understood that the general wanted to help King Rong appear to be seriously ill.
Although he didn't know why the general did this, Du Xueyi looked worried the next day and hurried out of the city to go to the temple outside the city where Shi Yu was recuperating.
But he didn't expect to see Luo Chengzhou in the temple.
