Xie Zian couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground, with his head bowed, and said intermittently: "At that time, my father asked Liu Yunheng to guard the food and grass in the rear. He... He was eager to make contributions and always went to the battlefield secretly. There was something wrong with it.

At the time when the war was at a stalemate, our side was short of food and grass, and the imperial court was short of food and grass.

The grass has not arrived yet, so my father asked Liu Yunheng to respond. As for me, I need to lead the vanguard army to attack an iron cavalry in Beijin. Liu Yunheng found me, hoping to join the vanguard army, but receiving food and grass is equally important. After the two of us discussed it, he led

The vanguard army goes to meet the Beijin cavalry, and I go to get supplies."

Liu Yunxiang's body tensed up, wanting to go up and slap Xie Zian twice. Even if Liu Yunheng went to find him, he would never agree. One went to fight in the front, the other transported food to the rear, one had a narrow escape, and the other was not in danger.

How could a grown man agree if he was not greedy for life and afraid of death?

Yan Mu sneered coldly, "Such a big matter can only be done by the two of you through private discussion. Does the old Marquis really not know?"

Xie Zi Anmo, "My father only found out after Liu Yunheng led the vanguard army into battle."

He knew it, but he didn't replace the person immediately. Obviously, the old Marquis also had selfish motives.

Liu Yunxiang closed her eyes. After all, she had mistakenly believed them.

"I received food and fodder, then encountered heavy rain, lost my way in a hurry, and encountered an ambush after many twists and turns. After that... I was also injured and fell in a daze among the dead. I was lucky enough to save my life. Later.

I fled back to the military camp, but after three days of fierce fighting, our army was completely wiped out. I saw the corpses of countless soldiers, including my eldest brother, but not my father and Liu Yunheng."

The officer brought Xie Zian's confession for Yan Mu to read. It said that after encountering an ambush, he saw that the situation was not good and fled with a few soldiers in a hurry. When the Northern Jin Army came after him, the soldiers fell one by one.

Next, in order to save his life, he covered himself with the corpses of soldiers, thus saving his life.

When Yan Mu saw this, he couldn't help but stepped forward and kicked Xie Zian, "Coward!"

Xie Zian hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Master Yan, please spare me. I told you everything I know. You...for Liu Yunxiang's sake, spare my life!"

Yan Mu stepped on the back of Xie Zian's hand and crushed it hard, "You're a fucking man too!"

Liu Yunxiang pulled Yan Mu back and whispered: "Ask him again, he really didn't see the bodies of the old Marquis and my brother."

Yan Mu touched his nose and stepped forward to ask Xie Zian according to Liu Yunxiang's words.

"I really didn't see where Xu was."

When leaving the imperial prison, Yan Mu ordered his subordinates to continue interrogating Xie Zian, mainly about the news about the batch of grain and grass.

When he came outside, Yan Mu turned to look at Liu Yunxiang and saw her frowning, thinking about something, "What are you thinking about?"

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, "I was thinking, if my brother is not dead, then where is he?"

Yan Mu frowned, "You know so well that your brother is not dead?"

Liu Yunxiang didn't know how to explain to Yan Mu. In the previous life, there were rumors that the Northern Expeditionary Army was not completely wiped out, but that a team of thousands of people entered the northern desert and took root there.

The reason for such rumors is that a soldier returned to Da Rong thirty years later, but was soon killed at home.

At that time, Liu Yunxiang's temples were gray and he was unable to trace what happened back then, so he could only treat it as a rumor.

Xie Zian's words were not useless, but they gave her a lot of confidence. If a thousand people really escaped, and her brother's body was not seen on the battlefield, it indirectly meant that her brother might still be alive.

"As long as I don't see my brother's body, I believe he is still alive. After all, Xie Zian came back after three years. My brother is so smart, he will definitely survive. Also, I think Bei Zheng's case will definitely be solved.

If there are other inside stories, such as where the disappeared food and grass went, you can continue to check."

But she doesn't have much time, and she can't wait until the day comes to find out the truth.

"Take me back home."

After sending Liu Yunxiang back, Yan Mu returned to the imperial prison, grabbed Xie Zian's wrist, slashed it, and then hung his hand up with a basin underneath.

The blood fell down drop by drop and fell into the water, making a sound.

Every sound hit Xie Zixin, making his whole body tremble in panic, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse.

"You said you were lost, how could you fall into the ambush set by Beijin?"

"this……"

"Who led the way?"

"I have a lieutenant beside me."

"Draw him out."

"He was just temporarily transferred to my side. I don't remember what he looks like."

Yan Mu asked him to look at the basin that was stained red with blood, "You don't have much time."

On the second day, Liu Yunxiang came to the door of the Minister's Mansion.

Jinyan looked at the closed door of the Minister's Mansion, sighed first, and then knocked on the door.

The boy guarding the door saw that it was Jin Yan, and looked at Liu Yunxiang outside, and asked them to wait. Butler Xu came not long after.

"Girl, madam, she is not feeling well..."

"So I, as a daughter, came to see her."

Butler Xu sighed, "Madam doesn't want to see you, you know that."

"I have news about Yun Heng."

Upon hearing this, Butler Xu was stunned and said hurriedly: "Girl, come into the house quickly."

In the last life, my mother died early because she was too sad for her younger brother. She was unfilial and all she could do was tell her parents the little news about her younger brother.

Arriving at the east courtyard, Butler Xu went into the house first to report, but he came out soon, "Miss, Madam, let you in."

Liu Yunxiang went in alone. When he entered the back room, he saw his mother sitting on the Luohan bed with a haggard face. She was obviously still ill. Her eyes trembled and she looked at her eagerly. Her mouth opened and closed, but she did not dare to speak.

ask.

Liu Yunxiang sat over and held his mother's hand, "I know a doctor who has very good medical skills. Is it okay if I ask her to come and treat you?"

Mrs. Liu shook her head, "Your brother..."

Liu Yunxiang sighed and told his mother not to worry, and then said slowly: "I asked Xie Zian later, and he said that his younger brother did not go with him to transport food, and that he had returned to the battlefield before burning the corpse in Beijin.

I only saw the body of Uncle Xie, but not the bodies of Old Marquis and Yun Heng."

"What...what does this mean?"

"The guys in my shop who went to sell fur goods in the north heard a rumor there that the Northern Expeditionary Army was not completely wiped out, but that a small group of people entered the northern desert."

Mrs. Liu suddenly grabbed Liu Yunxiang's hand, "You said your brother... he is not dead... but..."

Liu Yunxiang hissed at Madam Liu, "Mom, Bei Zheng's case has been investigated over and over again, and it involves a lot of things. We just need to know it ourselves and don't tell anyone else, otherwise we're afraid of hurting my brother and the others."

"But...but this doesn't mean that your brother is still alive."

"My brother is smart and has good kung fu. I think if others can survive, he can too."

But in fact, she really couldn't say for sure whether her brother was dead or alive, but when her mother heard this, she had hope in her heart, so she wouldn't be too sad.

"Mom, as long as my brother is still alive, whether it is ten, twenty or more years, he will definitely come back. You have to wait for him."
