Chapter 378 The truth back then
Liu Yunxiang followed Liu Yunheng out of Yuzhou City and rode fast for fifty miles. At dawn, he finally caught up with Old Marquis and the others.
There were not many people left at this time, only about twenty people.
"I asked them to leave in several waves first, otherwise so many people would easily attract the attention of the Beijin officials. Wait for us when they leave the Beijin South Pass." Marquis Jing'an sighed as he spoke.
He lived in exile in Beijin for five years. He didn't say what he suffered during the period, but when he returned to Da Rong, he had mixed feelings in his heart.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Yunxiang.
"You..." After a pause, "Come with me."
Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly, and followed the old Marquis to the roadside, avoiding everyone. He was getting older, and after years of hard work, his waist was bent, and his legs and feet were not strong anymore.
Looking at his back, Liu Yunxiang just felt that he was an ordinary old man who had gone through many vicissitudes of life.
After walking away for a few steps, Marquis Jing'an turned around and frowned deeply: "What's going on between you and Yan Mu?"
Sure enough, he wanted to ask.
Liu Yunxiang met the gaze of Marquis Jing'an and said frankly: "We have worshiped heaven and earth, what do you think, Lord Marquis?"
"You are the daughter-in-law of my Xie family..."
"Xie Zian and I have reconciled. As for the rest, you will know by asking around when we return to Da Rong and Shengjing. I don't want to say too much."
Seeing Liu Yunxiang's cold attitude, Marquis Jing'an's heart turned, guessing that she might have been wronged in the Marquis Mansion.
"Then let me ask again, how are your family members?"
"The eldest madam, the second master, the second young master, the third young master and the fourth young lady are still there, but the title of the marquis is gone. I don't know if they are living well now."
Hearing this, Marquis Jing'an couldn't help but staggered, "Others..."
"Old Madam, Second Madam, and Xie Zian are all doing their own evil, but Aunt Yan... because of your letter asking for help, her tongue was cut out and she was thrown into a nunnery. She still wanted to save you until she died."
Hearing this, Marquis Jingan shed tears.
She didn't want to mention anything about the Xie family. After saying these two words, she went back.
While it was still dark, the group continued walking south.
They were all dressed in rags and had no money. It was Liu Yunxiang who brought money, which kept them from starving.
After walking for a day, they camped in the woods.
Liu Yunxiang leaned on his younger brother, "We can enter Nanzhou in two days' walk."
"Um."
"You will be able to leave the customs soon."
"Um."
When Liu Yunxiang said this, he sighed.
Liu Yunheng covered her with a cloak, "I should be able to see my nephew and niece soon, right?"
Mentioning the two children, Liu Yunxiang smiled, but then stopped laughing, "I promised them to take their father home with them."
"He will go back."
"He won't go back."
In his heart, he had given up on her and the two children and had no home.
Liu Yunxiang sighed again, leaned on his brother's shoulder and closed his eyes.
"Go to sleep, we have to go on a journey tomorrow morning."
Liu Yunheng nodded, "We can only go back to Zhenbeiguan and Yangui City, but we can't go back to Shengjing to see our parents, right?"
"When we get to Zhenbeiguan, ask General Wei Tian to help deliver a letter home."
"Um."
Liu Yunxiang was thinking about Yan Mu and was about to fall asleep when he was suddenly woken up by the sound of fighting. When he opened his eyes, he saw a man in black fighting with several soldiers from the Northern Expeditionary Army.
The man in black was very good at kung fu, and these soldiers together were no match for him, and they were soon at a disadvantage. But the strange thing was that, even though he had the chance, he did not injure these soldiers.
"He's here." Liu Yunheng said with a frown.
"he?"
"Ruan Lingyu!"
"who is he?"
"The traitor who leaked our marching route, caused a disastrous defeat for the three armies, and almost wiped out the entire army!" After saying this, Liu Yunheng stood up and drew his sword. "I have always wanted to kill him to avenge the sacrifice of the soldiers. Today he himself
If you deliver it to your door, you must leave your life behind!"
With that said, Liu Yunheng raised his sword and killed him.
The two exchanged dozens of moves at once, then kicked each other before temporarily separating.
"Ruan Lingyu, what are you doing with your veil on? Are you really too shameless to see us brothers?" Liu Yunheng said through gritted teeth.
Marquis Jing'an was stunned for a moment, "Is he Ruan Lingyu?"
"He is."
The old Marquis rushed forward and pointed at the man in black, "Are you really Ruan Lingyu?"
The man in black stood tall, his eyes darkened, and then he took off his veil, revealing a handsome and tough face.
He looked at Liu Yunheng, then wandered around the brothers who had fought side by side, and finally his eyes fell on the old Marquis.
"You are still alive!" A sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
The old Marquis's face turned gloomy, "Back then, you stole the marching route map and surrendered to the enemy, causing our three armies to be ambushed by Beijin, resulting in heavy casualties. But you still have the nerve to be alive and have the nerve to appear in front of us!"
Ruan Lingyu sneered, "You said I stole the marching route map, did anyone see it?"
"The marching route map is on you!"
"It was stolen. Is this the right explanation?"
"How is it possible? The army is heavily guarded and Beijin Xizuo is determined not to sneak in."
"What if it's one of our own?"
"One of our own?"
Ruan Lingyu snorted coldly, then looked at Liu Yunheng, "In the past few years, you have been chasing me, and I almost died in your hands several times."
Liu Yunheng clenched the sword in his hand, "I want to avenge the dead soldiers!"
"You can't avenge them because the person who really leaked the march route map is dead." Ruan Lingyu shrugged and said with some pity.
"Stop being so arrogant, it's clearly you..."
"It's the general!" Ruan Lingyu suddenly glared angrily, "That day, he changed into plain clothes under the pretext of going to Yangui City for patrol, and went to Huajie. That day I went to Yangui City to do business, and happened to see him, secretly
After following him, I found out that he had a sweetheart in that flower street."
The old Marquis's eyes were shocked, "My son, my son has died in the battle, don't slander him!"
"Slander? He often goes there. When you come back, take his portrait and let the people inside recognize it. Then they will know whether what I said is true or false." Ruan Lingyu said.
"Even...even if the general went there, it would prove to be the marching route map he leaked, right?" Liu Yunheng said.
Ruan Lingyu's face darkened, "After we were defeated, I have been wondering who leaked the march route map. After we drew it, only a few people knew about it. I doubted everyone, and finally I suspected the general.
In the past few years, I have been in Jin'an, using the cover of being An Hong's thug, conducting secret investigations, and finally met the general's sweetheart again, and she is Han Lin's."
"What nonsense!" Marquis Jing'an said angrily.
