"Brother Yu, you are not really from the Red Flame Army, are you?"
Yan Yujin felt his mouth and tongue were dry and his voice was trembling slightly, mainly because this answer was too scary.
Zhou Chen smiled and did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Why, do you also think that the Red Flame Army and the old man of King Qi were all traitors who conspired against others?"
Yan Yujin immediately shook his head and said: "Of course not. I don't know what others think. Anyway, in my opinion, they are all good people and not traitors. Even my father thinks so. There must be grievances in what happened back then."
.”
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Yujin, although you are young, I really like your character. You seem to be bohemian, but you are actually very smart and you have more ideas than anyone else."
"Really? Did I really show it so obviously?" Yan Yujin giggled.
Normally, Xiao Jingrui would definitely have said something to him, but at this moment, his attention had been attracted by Zhou Chen.
"Brother Yu, is what you just said true? Did you and Brother Su really survive the Meiling fire fourteen years ago?"
"You do not believe?"
"No, I just find it incredible. You just said that your and Brother Su's backgrounds are no worse than mine and Yujin's, but there are not many people in the Red Flame Army who meet this condition."
Seeing that Xiao Jingrui was hesitant and a little excited, Zhou Chen said silently: "You can just tell me your guess."
Xiao Jingrui took a deep breath, and even Yan Yujin looked serious.
"The first person I can think of who matches his age and status is brother Lin Shu. He is the son of Lin Shuai and my aunt. His status is just higher than mine."
Zhou Chen's expression did not change and he asked calmly: "What else?"
Xiao Jingrui continued: "I don't know much about the Red Flame Army back then, and I don't have many familiar people, but I have heard about what happened back then. There is also a special person who is a good friend with Brother Lin Shu.
, brother Zhou Chen who succeeded Wu Chenghou."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "You also said that you don't know much about the Red Flame Army. Although Zhou Chen's status is not low, he is indeed not outstanding among the Red Flame Army. You even know him, which is no longer simple."
"Brother Yu and Brother Su, who are you?"
Xiao Jingrui had already guessed something, but he was so excited that he still didn't dare to say it.
Yan Yujin did the same, staring at Zhou Chen closely.
Zhou Chen didn't hold back anymore and said directly: "You guessed it right, Mei Changsu is Lin Shu, and I am Zhou Chen."
"boom!"
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin felt their minds tremble at the same time, and were frightened by Zhou Chen's answer.
"This this……"
If you guessed it correctly and got it confirmed, that's the most shocking thing.
Xiao Jingrui murmured to himself: "How is this possible? Brother Lin Shu and the others have already..."
"That's why I just said that we are ghosts who escaped from Meiling."
The answer they heard was so shocking that Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin didn't know how to react for a moment.
Xiao Jingrui is relatively simple, and now he feels more unbelievable, especially that Mei Changsu is his brother Lin Shu. This news has shocked her too much.
I thought about how kind brother Lin Shu was to me when I was a child, about my relationship with Mei Changsu, and about my resentment towards Mei Changsu because of what happened that day...
For a moment, he didn't know what kind of mentality he would have to face Mei Changsu, the Lin Shu brother he admired most in the past.
Yan Yujin thought much more than Xiao Jingrui. After learning the true identities of Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu, he was also shocked, but at the same time he also thought of more, especially what happened in the capital in the past two years.
He suddenly understood a lot. Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen came to the capital with their own purpose, which was to fight for the injustice of Chi Yan.
After a long time, Xiao Jingrui recovered from his confusion and panic, but his eyes became red and his spirit became very bad.
"Brother Yu, no, brother Zhou Chen, can you tell me what happened back then? Why did the loyal Red Flame Army and the respected King Qi suddenly become like that..."
Zhou Chen said: "Jing Rui, actually you don't need to ask me, do you still remember the handwritten letter Xie Yu left for your mother before he was assigned? You go back to your mother to ask for it. When you see the handwritten letter, you
You will understand everything."
"Brother Zhou Chen..."
"Go, Jingrui, the reason why I tell you this today has no other purpose. I just want to tell you that Xiaoshu is really suffering, and he is really good to you. He didn't mean to hurt you at the beginning.
You have no choice. You may not understand it now, but after reading the handwriting, you will understand."
"Go back, Jingrui."
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin left Zhou Chen's mansion, but they did not separate immediately. The main reason was that Xiao Jingrui's mental state was very bad and Yan Yujin was worried about him, so he planned to send him back himself.
Xiao Jingrui had just returned to the eldest princess's mansion, and before he could find his mother, his sister Xie Qi ran over.
"Brother, where have you been? My mother was assassinated when she went out today. Please go and have a look."
"What?"
Xiao Jingrui was startled and rushed to his mother's room without caring about anything else.
When he saw that his mother, Princess Yang, was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Princess Weiyang shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
Xiao Jingrui frowned and said: "Mother, you have always lived in seclusion, how could you be assassinated?"
Princess Wei Yang was also confused: "I don't know what's going on. Who would send someone specifically to assassinate me, an insignificant person who doesn't care about worldly affairs?"
Xiao Jingrui suddenly had an idea flash in his mind and said urgently: "Mother, could it be because of the handwritten letter that Xie Hou left for you?"
"Handwriting?"
Princess Weiyang thought about it: "You mean, I was assassinated because of that handwritten letter?"
"Mother, have you read the handwriting?"
"No, he said at the beginning that this handwriting can save his life. As long as nothing happens to him, let me protect this handwriting and don't let anyone read it."
Xiao Jingrui's eyes flickered and he said urgently: "Now something happened to Marquis Xie in Qianzhou. Maybe the assassin came here just for this operation. Mother, after reading this handwriting, we should know the assassin's purpose and what to do."
Got it."
"Would you like to see it now?"
"Um."
Princess Weiyang hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's watch it together."
Xiao Jingrui had no objection, so Princess Weiyang opened the brocade bag and took out the handwriting inside. Mother and son read it together.
After reading it, both mother and son were silent.
Xiao Jingrui was mentally prepared. Although he was shocked, he could still remain calm.
Princess Wei Yang has experienced too many things. Although the content in the handwriting is shocking, she is not too panicked.
"That's it, that's it."
Xiao Jingrui finally understood the meaning of Zhou Chen's words.
If Zhou Chen told the truth, he would be more or less suspicious, but this handwritten letter was written by Xie Yu himself, so it really couldn't be more true.
He is an upright person. After learning the truth, his first thought was to report it and clear the grievances of the Red Flame Army.
But Princess Yang desperately stopped him and refused to let him go.
…………
As soon as Yan Yujin returned home, he saw his father waiting for him.
"Why did you come back so late?"
"Father."
Yanque raised his eyebrows and asked, "Yujin, what happened? I can feel that something is not right with you."
Yan Yujin opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer. What Zhou Chen told him and Xiao Jingrui today was too shocking, and Zhou Chen believed him, so he let him listen. He didn't know if he should tell his father.
.
Yan Que also noticed his son's confusion, and waited quietly without urging him.
After a moment, Yan Yujin couldn't help but asked: "Dad, if, I mean if, if I encounter a very big injustice, and you know some of the truth about it, but if you expose it,
