Jiang Shanshan shook his head, "I'm worried about him. I just thought about Mingxuan."
She doesn't lie either.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan said nothing more.
He is aware of the relationship between the two siblings, which can be seen from the letters he receives every now and then.
His people have almost become messengers.
That night, Jiang Shanshan rarely had a good and comfortable sleep, and the next morning he changed his clothes and followed Gu Yuan out.
In the camp, several people finished talking, and soon the officials brought someone over.
The man was probably in his early twenties, and his complexion was not fair, but it was much fairer than those other rough guys.
Jiang Shanshan stared at the person, only to see that he was about eight feet tall, with slender eyebrows and bright eyes. His peach blossom eyes seemed affectionate, but his jaw was stretched, adding a bit of coldness.
"This person is Lin Yi." the official said.
Because Lin Yi was promoted by the governor of Bazhou, even if there were some flaws in his identity, no one would specifically complain as long as he did not bear a heavy responsibility.
Therefore, he was able to stay in the military camp peacefully for so many years.
Lin Yi lowered his eyes and listened to them silently, as if nothing concerned him.
Suddenly, a voice attracted him.
"The descendants of the Lin family actually join the army and serve the imperial court. Are they not afraid that their ancestors will be angry?"
Lin Yi raised his eyes and met Jiang Shanshan's playful eyes.
"Lin is just for the expansion of the territory and the innocent people, not for the imperial court!"
Hearing this, Jiang Shanshan curled up his lips.
This is right!
She just couldn't stand those people who always acted like everyone owed him eight million.
"General Xiaolin is righteous, it's me who has taken the initiative." Jiang Shanshan raised his hand and bowed.
But Lin Yi didn't say anything anymore, he looked at her blankly.
Although she looks like a man, Jiang Shanshan's feminine side is not hidden.
This makes people even more suspicious.
"General Xiaolin looked at me and felt familiar. What did he remember?" Jiang Shanshan's voice brought him back to his senses.
At this time, other people in the camp had already left with a look, and even Gu Yuan thoughtfully left a place for them.
Lin Yi raised his hand and stared at her, "Who are you?"
The eyes that were exactly the same as his were smiling.
"If you are right, I should call you uncle!"
Jiang Shanshan's words stunned him.
uncle?
"It's Fourth Sister, you belong to Fourth Sister..." His eyes suddenly turned red.
The face that was pretending to be stern now looked much gentler.
What surprised Jiang Shanshan even more was that after she nodded, he, an eight-foot tall man, actually shed tears.
"Fourth sister...is fourth sister still alive?" He looked desolate.
"My grandmother and mother are both dead. They said that there is no one left in the Lin family except me."
Jiang Shanshan hesitated for a moment, then took out a handkerchief and handed it to him.
She did not comfort him, it was better to let him vent at this time.
From his words, she learned that back then, the Lin family was implicated by the Xue family, and all the boys over the age of ten were beheaded, while the female family members were consigned to lowly status as officials.
The girls of the Lin family could not bear the humiliation and were all hanged in the mansion. Only Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin, who was less than ten years old at the time, was sent to the border.
Mrs. Lin was very old, had lost her husband and her son, and had already passed away halfway.
Lin Yi was able to reach the border alive and well, all because the escorting officers and soldiers had been favored by the Lin family, so they had some conveniences.
During those years when we arrived at the border, there were always people who would secretly help us, so survival was not a problem.
Until the border war a few years ago, when the Liao Kingdom made a surprise attack at night, he guarded the city gate and made great achievements.
After being spotted by the old general, he was brought to Bazhou to join the army.
Listening to him talk about those days lightly, Jiang Shanshan almost understood.
"I never knew that the fourth sister was still alive." Lin Yi looked at her, his red eyes gradually calmed down, "I have been thinking about those people all the time these years. Can you tell me why you came here?"
He had noticed Gu Yuan a long time ago and noticed that they seemed to have a close relationship.
However, what he was worried about was whether the other party had ulterior motives.
Jiang Shanshan thought for a while and said: "Master asked me to come, and he gave me a token."
As she said that, she took out the black jade pendant hanging around her neck, and then took out the brocade bag and handed it to him.
Lin Yi glanced at her jade pendant and took the kit.
There were only a few words in it, but they shocked him.
He looked at Jiang Shanshan with complicated eyes.
"Can that person outside be trusted?"
Jiang Shanshan naturally knew who he was referring to, "Trust me, he is the Sanlang of the Gu family of Duke Jingguo, and he is also my... fiancée."
"Are you engaged?" Lin Yi was shocked.
"Yes, Master agrees."
"The capital is not a good place. Since you found me, why not..."
"I have more important things to do." Jiang Shanshan said.
Not planning to tell him this, she looked at Lin Yi and smiled.
"Would you like to hear about my mother?" She lifted her robe and sat on the floor covered with blankets, resting her chin on one hand and tapping her knees with the other.
Lin Yi thought for a while and sat down as well.
"My mother failed to escape at first and was tricked into the Jiang family by Han Xian. Later she had my brother and me. Until her death, she could not take a step out of the courtyard where we were locked up."
Lin Yi was stunned.
"Jiang family?"
"Jiang Yu, the man who defiled my mother is called Jiang Yu, and his sister is the current imperial concubine Jiang Guifei."
After saying this, Lin Yi knew that he had heard about Concubine Jiang's deeds many times over the years.
Of course, these are just palace romances.
After all, she is the emperor's favorite concubine.
"The Jiang family, are you good to you?" Lin Yi asked, but felt that it was a bit redundant.
If it was good, how could the three of them, mother and son, be imprisoned?
Jiang Shanshan thought it was nothing, and said: "No, my mother died at the hands of the Jiang family. My brother and I have been slaves and maids all these years, and have been trampled and humiliated by them."
As she said that, she curved her lips, "But it doesn't matter. I have written down all these grudges, and I will pay them back one by one in the future."
But Lin Yi didn't think so. How could it be okay?
Just hearing a few words made me feel uncomfortable. In recent years, the life of the three of them, mother and son, was probably worse than what she said.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi's eyes began to turn red again.
Jiang Shanshan was quite helpless. Why did this young uncle look so decent, but he liked to cry so much?
"Ahem... How about you go back with me and let's have a nice talk?" Jiang Shanshan also wanted to hear more about the border affairs, so he said, "I live in the city now, and you can come back at any time."
Lin Yi heard this and did not refuse.
He also wanted to know more about their affairs, whether it was the fourth sister Lin Zhilan or matters in the capital.
In this way, Gu Yuan and Jiang Shanshan took the people away smoothly. On the way, the latter said inadvertently.
"The governor of Bazhou seems to take good care of you."
"He is the disciple of the old general. After the old general passed away, he entrusted me to him."
Jiang Shanshan nodded, thinking that the person the master was talking about must be the late old general.
No wonder I haven't been able to contact him in recent years. It seems that he didn't reveal his wife's affairs to the governor of Bazhou.
"Is what you said before true?"
"What?"
"Serving the imperial court, the Lin family all died at the hands of the imperial court."
When mentioning this, Lin Yi was silent.

Thank you Shen Mingjue for the reward, I love you~
Speaking of the heroine’s uncle, it’s actually based on the character of my cousin. That crybaby still sheds tears in his twenties, hahaha. I can’t help but want to complain, but he can’t see it anyway.
