"The aunt you are talking about is Atai's..." Mingyi only found out after arriving in Beiguan that Xue Tai was not Xue Lin's biological brother, but his cousin. He and his mother lived elsewhere, not in the governor's mansion. Mingyi asked Xue Lin if she wanted to visit, but Xue Lin said that her aunt liked peace and quiet, so she never went there and only had some gifts during the Dragon Boat Festival. Zongzi and festivals are over.
"Yes, she is Artai's mother. Artai is the posthumous son of his cousin. The eldest brother Xue Bai is his biological eldest brother. Unfortunately, he was not yet eight years old when the eldest brother left. Since my aunt gave birth to Artai, her body has been His bowel movements were not good, he suffered the pain of losing his son, and his health was getting worse. Later, Artai almost grew up in the army with me." Xue Lin's tone was almost understatement.
When Mingyi heard him say that Xian Ge was his sister-in-law, she already felt something in her heart. When she heard this, her heart still sank. She looked at Xue Lin, endured it, and asked cautiously, "So... Why is there no big brother, Artest?"
Xue Lin glanced at her. Once he opened his mouth, he naturally wanted to tell her. "Ten years ago, my eldest brother and I were both in the scout camp. There was a mission. He went on my behalf and never came back."
Mingyi's heart suddenly sank. She looked at the corners of his lips that were obviously curled up, but there was unspeakable sadness in the corners of his eyes and brows. She had a lump in her throat and wanted to say some words of comfort, but she always felt that all the words were empty and pale. , she couldn't utter a single word. He was such a strong-willed person, and he was afraid that he would blame everything on himself. How sad would it be these ten years...?
Hearing that she didn't move, Xue Lin looked away and looked at her, easily seeing the expression of pain for him in her eyes, but he just dimmed his eyes slightly and said hoarsely, "Madam, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Mingyi pursed her lips, "You said you wanted to ask Jin Changguo about an old incident. Is it also related to Brother Xue Bai?"
"Yes." Xue Lin was not surprised that she could think of this, and she responded very simply, "In order to go on a mission for me, my eldest brother did not hesitate to make me sick. He must have known that there was something fishy about the mission, but he did not leave any trace of it. After a few words, after leaving, including all the scouts who went on the mission with him, the entire army was wiped out, and no one survived. What followed was the revelation that Situ Hong, the governor of the time, had collaborated with the enemy and treason, and the entire Anxi was in chaos. , It is as difficult as trying to find out what happened back then. Now, Anxi has finally settled down again. I have never given up on investigating what happened back then, but the clues to Jinchang Guo have been broken again. "
"It's related to Beidi, and it also involves the Anxi Rebellion ten years ago, and the struggle for power... It's possible that the powerful people in the court were involved..." Mingyi's expression changed slightly, but she knew that he wanted to investigate, and After so many years of investigation, I will definitely not give up halfway just because of the many obstacles on the road ahead. I will definitely investigate to the end. This is him, he looks cold-hearted, but in fact he values love and justice.
"Madam, are you scared?" Xue Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
"So what if I'm afraid? I've already boarded your pirate ship, can I still get off halfway?" Mingyi asked with a slight smile. Before Xue Lin could answer, she said again, "I'm not afraid! I believe you have the courage to do so." The power of the sky and the sea, not to mention you are not alone, don't you still have me?" In his previous life, he was still able to carry the huge Zhou Dynasty on one shoulder. Even if she is gone, with his achievements, he must be an extremely powerful person. minister. What's more, there is still her in this life? It will definitely not be worse than the previous life. "It's you, are you afraid?" She raised her chin slightly and looked at him.
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't have investigated in the first place, and I wouldn't be where I am today!" If it wasn't to investigate what happened back then, why would he work so hard just to hold onto the authority and have the ability to find out the truth? Dots of smiles rippled in Xue Lin's eyes, lighting up the quiet deep sea, "What's more... with my wife helping me, I will be invincible!"
"That's right!" Mingyi raised her lips, looking forward to her with a bright and cheerful expression.
Xue Lin looked at her and curled up his itchy fingertips, but the tentacles protruding from his heart did not shrink at all. They were still scratching on the apex of his heart, unable to suppress it.
Under the same sky, the sky has turned pale. In the tents hidden in the mountain col, the campfires have just been extinguished, and after the sound of horse hooves, they have fallen silent again.
At this moment, a slap suddenly broke the silence, followed by a series of curses, which was used by Di Wen, "You bunch of losers, don't mention bringing people back, you even admit that they were wrong." Come on, what does Xiao Wang do for you?" The person who was cursing angrily was a young man, wearing an ordinary fur coat, but he had a majestic figure, and his facial features were as deep as a knife. At this moment, there was anger in his eyes. His thoughts were burning like fire, his eyes were as if they were real, as if he wanted to pierce the two strong men kneeling in front of him.
"Fourth Prince, calm down. No one expected that the noble Governor's wife would not ride in a carriage, but dress up as a man and ride a horse. No one expected that there would be another woman in the carriage!" A soft voice sounded with laughter in the tent. A recliner was set up. Lying on the recliner was a man in purple. His black hair was like a waterfall, half scattered on the back of his head. He had a careless smile on his handsome face that looked like a woman's beauty, and his eyes were light. The time is magnificent but sinister.
The young man known as the Fourth Prince looked stern when he heard this, glared at the two men, and said fiercely, "Get out!"
The two strong men hurriedly saluted and hurriedly withdrew.
There was a sudden silence in the tent. The fourth prince flicked his sleeves and turned to look at the man in purple. He could still hear the faint anger in his solemn tone, "Third Young Master Wei, I have a word with you first. Don't harm Jiaojiao's life." , but this time, the Third Young Master Wei's people have repeatedly taken action, maybe they have forgotten what Xiao Wang said before?"
There was no doubt that the Third Young Master of Wei was Wei Xuanzhi. Mingyi probably never expected that he would come to Anxi and collude with others to plan the assassination at the entrance of Tianxing Gorge.
Listening to Hu Luyan's question, Wei Xuanzhi remained calm and said with curled lips, "Why should the Fourth Prince be upset? That woman today is not really your Jiaojiao."
"If this were not the case, would Third Young Master Wei think he could still be treated as a guest and talk to Xiao Wang here?" Hu Luyan snorted coldly, the anger on his face not diminishing.
"The fourth prince is really passionate about Princess Yun'an. When Wei saw it, he couldn't help but be moved!" Wei Xuazhi sighed, "Don't worry, fourth prince, Wei will definitely inform his subordinates and let them act accordingly in the future. Be careful not to hurt the Fourth Prince’s heart.”
"I hope Third Young Master Wei will do what he says!" Hu Luyan's expression finally softened, "But this time, although I failed to bring Jiaojiao out, and I failed to kill Xue Lin, I still made a mistake. Wrong, at least I can see that Xue Lin may not be sincere in his treatment of Jiaojiao. On the contrary, the woman who was mistaken for Jiaojiao today may be Xue Lin's weakness. In the future, we might as well use her to set up a trap."
In response to these words, Wei Xuanzhi just smiled and said without comment, "We will talk about the future later. If one blow fails, Xue Lin is afraid that he is on guard. If he wants to repeat the same trick again, I'm afraid it will not be easy."
"What should I do?" Hu Luyan frowned. This time he attacked unprepared and set up an ambush. He suffered heavy losses and failed to succeed. If Xue Lin was prepared again, wouldn't it be more difficult in the future?
"There may not be only one way to go. It might be a good idea to use your own strength and try to figure it out slowly!" Wei Xuazhi straightened his clothes and stood up, "I have traveled thousands of miles to come here, so I can't return empty-handed! "
