Noticing the expression on Li Nanke's face, Meng's father's eyes suddenly became cold and a little wary.
Li Nanke didn't know how to explain it, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know him. I just think it's strange that he would meet a living person here."
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
After taking the healing elixir, Meng's father's face returned to some rosy color. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Gu Ying and Li Nanke with a careful look.
When he saw the baby in the other person's arms, his expression suddenly changed.
"Where did the baby come from?!"
Father Meng's body was like a taut bow string. He touched the small crossbow hanging on his waist with one hand and asked in a loud voice.
Father Meng's actions made the atmosphere tense instantly.
The lighting beads inlaid on the stone wall emitted a cold light, shrouding half of the man's face in darkness, making him look particularly grim.
Gu Ying held her sword in front of Li Nanke and asked, "Did Bei Wenliang send you here?"
Hearing the name "Bei Wenliang", Meng's father narrowed his eyes slightly, but the vigilance on his face did not diminish by half. He asked coldly: "Do you know the general?"
"I am from Linggu."
Unable to explain time travel to the other party, Gu Ying had no choice but to simply tell her where she was.
"Spirit Valley?"
Father Meng frowned, then thought of something, and asked in surprise: "Did Madam's sister ask you to come?" As he spoke, the man's finger on the trigger of the military crossbow opened slightly.
At this time, Mrs. Bei's sister Yan Jiangxue should soon become the head of Linggu.
Gu Ying did not deny it and took out the Linggu token she carried with her.
Father Meng's face was gloomy and uncertain. He finally took back the crossbow and sighed, with a complicated expression: "I thought that woman had practiced the Tao Qingrui and would no longer care about her sister. I didn't expect... But it's not true that Madam has become like this.
The general’s fault.”
"But everyone in this village was killed by Bei Wenliang."
Gu Ying's tone was indifferent.
Father Meng leaned against the stone wall again, nodded and said, "The general killed him, but he had no choice but to do so."
"Because of the red rain?"
Li Nanke signaled Gu Ying to put down the sword in her hand, handed her the baby in her arms, and asked.
Father Meng glanced at the baby and said calmly: "How much do you know about Hongyu?"
"a lot of."
Li Nanke planned to get some truth and clues from the other party, came to Father Meng and said, "I know the world of Red Rain."
Meng's father looked surprised, "You Linggu are also secretly studying Hong Yu?"
"No."
Li Nanke shook his head.
Father Meng smiled and obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't ask any further questions and continued:
"For now, not many people know about the world of Red Rain. I also learned about it from the general, and I also know about the Red Rain Spirit."
"I understand this too."
Li Nanke said, "In the world of Red Rain, there are not only monsters with cruel temperaments, but also gods with human nature. What will you do in the future -"
"What's next?"
Seeing the other party suddenly stop talking, Meng's father said strangely.
"Your future wife will be the God of Red Rain." Li Nanke could only say this silently in his heart, not daring to talk nonsense in person.
Li Nanke said: "Nothing, I just want to know what's going on with Mrs. Bei? What are you doing secretly?"
Father Meng exhaled and looked up at the cold and damp room wall. He was silent for a while and then said softly: "The general just wants to find out what the deal between Your Majesty and that person is."
"Whose deal?"
Li Nanke grasped the key point.
Father Meng shook his head, "I don't know who the mysterious person is who traded with Your Majesty. I only know that since the mysterious person appeared, red rain has fallen."
This sentence contains a lot of information.
It also gave some confirmation to Li Nanke's previous speculation about Hong Yu.
That is to say, the red rain did not suddenly fall for no reason. Someone deliberately brought it here!
Who is this guy?
Old Taoist priest?
Li Nanke continued to ask: "Why did General Bei's two wives have a relationship with Hong Yu? Especially the real wife, who gave birth to a daughter in the form of a tomb person——"
Before Li Nanke finished speaking, Meng's father suddenly raised his head and stared at him, his dark eyes full of murderous intent and shock, "What did you say!? The general's wife is from the grave?"
Judging from the reaction, Meng's father did not know the inside story.
He rushed to Li Nanke in a few steps and wanted to grab him by the collar and question him, but was blocked by Gu Ying.
"Are you talking nonsense, or did you see something?"
Father Meng calmed down a little and asked coldly.
The other party's behavior also made Li Nanke understand one thing. Although Meng's father was Bei Wenliang's subordinate, he was not a trustworthy person.
However, giving birth to a child in a grave is a taboo in itself, and the fewer people who know about it, the safer it is.
"I can tell you with certainty that when the general's wife gives birth to a child, she becomes a grave person." Li Nanke said.
Father Meng clenched his fists and looked a little dazed.
He was trying to digest this shocking truth.
After a long time, Meng's father looked up at Li Nanke and said, "I don't know anything about the general's wife, but as far as I know, the general's wife had been seriously ill. She searched everywhere for a miracle doctor to no avail, and her life was in danger.
Later, while the general was away, His Majesty sent an imperial doctor to forcefully come for treatment, and the lady got better.
But at that time, His Majesty also sent people from Tiangang Disha to monitor the general's residence. I don't know the specific reason. I only know that after my wife recovered, the general became resentful towards Your Majesty."
I cured my daughter-in-law, but I still feel resentful?
Li Nanke was quite puzzled when he heard this. Thinking back to what he had known about the situation, a flash of lightning suddenly passed through his mind.
"Did Bai Yaoquan really use the general's wife as a test subject?"
Li Nanke had this terrible thought in his heart.
But why do we use the general’s wife as an experiment?
"In addition, after his wife recovered from her illness, the general... secretly had contact with Prince Anping."
When Meng's father mentioned "Prince Anping", his eyes flickered.
Obviously during this period, people still felt that King Anping had a sneak peek at the current throne.
Contacting him secretly is obviously going to get you into trouble.
But Bei Wenliang didn't care.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "How is the relationship between General Bei and his first wife?"
"It used to be very good, but after my wife recovered, the general became cold to her."
"What is General Bei's attitude towards Hong Yu?"
"destroy!"
Meng's father replied, "Even in the general's opinion, anyone who has been involved with Hong Yu should be killed and should not be left in the world!"
"So all the villagers in this village are contaminated by the red rain?"
"That's right." Father Meng nodded, "All the people in this village have taken Red Rain and will undergo mutations, so the general killed them."
"Did they take the red rain themselves, or did someone secretly steal the red rain?"
"Is it someone's fault?"
"who?"
"I don't know." Father Meng pursed his lips and spoke indifferently.
But Li Nanke could tell from the other party's expression that the other party had a target, so he gave the answer, "Is it the emperor?"
Father Meng remained silent and did not deny it.
At this point in the conversation, Li Nanke had roughly made an inference.
There were differences and even hostility between Bei Wenliang and the emperor because of Hongyu.
Perhaps to disgust Bei Wenliang, or perhaps to persuade him, Emperor Bai Yaoquan used "Red Rain" to save the general's wife who was supposed to die of illness.
Seeing that Bei Wenliang had a new love outside, he even secretly sent Hongyu to force Bei Wenliang to accept it.
This also caused the relationship between the two to completely break down.
Because when he last joined the village in Hongyu, Bei Wenliang was very rude to the Tiangang Disha people, and his disgust for the emperor could be heard in his words.
However, from later on when the other party cooperates with the old Taoist priest to save his daughter Princess Shanyun, we can also see Bei Wenliang's inner entanglement and struggle.
"One more thing I want to know is, did General Bei give you any tasks?"
Li Nanke asked.
"No." Father Meng shook his head.
"What about the emperor?"
"..."
Father Meng's face paused for a moment, then shook his head again, "No."
Li Nanke smiled, "General Meng, you are very smart. I asked so many questions that I shouldn't have asked, but you answered them all, and even told me more. People who don't know think we are brothers who are friends in life and death."
Woolen cloth."
Faced with Li Nanke's sarcasm, Meng's father frowned and expressed confusion.
Li Nanke said: "Actually, you have long seen that my identity is unusual, so when I tried to trick you, you also tried your best to trick me."
"I don't understand what you are talking about?" Meng's father turned away.
"The emperor secretly gave you a mission to go to Hecun Village anonymously, right?"
"how do you know?"
Father Meng was shocked when he heard this and looked at the handsome man in front of him in disbelief.
After all, this is a very confidential matter.
And Li Nanke's next words made him unable to remain calm.
"And I'm sure that the emperor has completely bribed you and asked you to lurk around Bei Wenliang and monitor him, right?"
