Su Renzhong listened to the sounds outside, then looked at Xuan Yuanzhan: "The palace is guarded everywhere now, we can't get out at all."
Xuanyuan Zhan raised an eyebrow: "If you trust me, then come with me. Since I can say this, I can definitely take you out of the palace!"
Although the palace is heavily guarded, he should still be able to take someone out if he wants.
Su Renzhong sighed helplessly, "You don't understand. The East Palace is surrounded by secret guards. I don't know how you got in, but you can't possibly take me out of the East Palace."
He had tried to leave the palace before, but every time he left the East Palace, his grandfather would find out, let alone leave the palace.
This kid's martial arts skills are impressive. It's no ordinary person that he was able to sneak into the East Palace by himself. But if he tries to take him out of the palace with him, he will definitely be discovered!
Xuan Yuanzhan frowned, emptying his mental energy, and indeed sensed that he was surrounded by secret guards.
Even these secret guards have considerable mental strength. If he were alone, he could come and go freely, but if he brought the general along, he might not be able to avoid being discovered.
Xuan Yuanzhan withdrew his spiritual power and looked at Su Renzhong with a solemn expression: "Don't you find it strange that they have so many hidden guards watching you?"
"My grandfather did this to protect me." At first, Su Renzhong was indeed very resistant to these secret guards, but after experiencing several assassination attempts, he could no longer resist them.
Xuan Yuanzhan raised an eyebrow noncommittally: "Then why are so many people trying to harm you? Have you figured it out?"
Su Renzhong frowned and glanced at him, then gestured for him to sit down: "Stop asking me. What do you know? Tell me."
Helpless, Xuan Yuanzhan could only sit down: "Where would you like to begin? Do you know how your parents died?"
“He was killed by the traitor Prince Nanxian.” Su Renzhong clenched his fists, his eyes filled with resentful killing intent.
Xuanyuan Zhan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he did know something; it was something the Northern Wei emperor had instilled in him.
Xuanyuan Zhan sighed softly: "Actually, I don't know much about the affairs of your Northern Wei. I've only heard that your parents were killed by your great-uncle, the Prince of Nanxian. To protect you, your parents entrusted you to a palace maid, who then took you to escape to Eastern Chu."
"Eastern Chu?" Xuan Yuanzhan had barely finished speaking when Su Renzhong looked shocked: "You mean that palace maid led me to escape to Eastern Chu?"
Xuanyuan Zhan nodded with certainty: "It was indeed Dongchu. She not only brought you to Dongchu, but also asked a teacher to teach you literature and martial arts. In the end, you became the great general of Dongchu. You spent the last forty years of your life in Dongchu."
Su Renzhong was surprised again: "But they told me that I have always been a Northern Wei person and have never left Northern Wei. Even though I have been missing for a long time, I have never left Northern Wei, and I also have adoptive parents."
How did he end up going to Eastern Chu?
Why does he have no memory of anything?
"Your adoptive parents?" Xuan Yuanzhan frowned and said, "Your adoptive parents are in Su Family Village in Dong Chu. They passed away when you were just an adult. How could you possibly still have adoptive parents?"
Su Renzhong was shocked, feeling that what he said was completely different from what he had heard before!
Xuanyuan Zhan never expected that the Northern Wei emperor would not only cause General Su to lose his memory, but also create a completely different life for him, and even create a pair of adoptive parents to numb him.
Of course, it's also possible that this was to lull his sons into a false sense of security. After all, if they knew that General Su had been in Dongchu all along, they might be able to find out about his mother and Ning'er. If they were to target Ning'er and the others and use them to threaten General Su, things would get very bad.
This may be one of the reasons why the Northern Wei emperor created this fake life for General Su!
Su Renzhong has lost his previous memories, so he doesn't know whether what Xuan Yuanzhan said is true or false.
But the pair of love pendants he brought made him unconsciously want to believe his words: "And then, how did I get married, and how did I end up in Northern Wei?"
"During the great war between Eastern Chu and Western Liang, the Emperor of Eastern Chu sent you to fight against Western Liang. On the battlefield, you found an orphan girl, married her, and had a son and a daughter. You were living a happy life until four years ago when the Emperor of Northern Wei, in collusion with your subordinates, faked your death and brought you back to Northern Wei. Your wife and children received a skeleton that looked exactly like you, but was completely disfigured. They thought you were really dead until a year ago when they found a clue in a coffin in Sujia Village. We investigated for a long time and discovered that you might be a member of the Northern Wei royal family, which led us to Northern Wei."
Of course, the process was very complicated, and Xuanyuan Zhan didn't want to go into too much detail about it.
He didn't want to say much about his love story with his mother, especially since his mother should tell him about it in detail later. He could only give her a general account of his journey from Eastern Chu to Northern Wei.
He didn't want to talk much about the things Su Renyi and Su Huiyan had done to him for the time being. After all, he had no memory of his past life, and talking about these things now would not only require a lot of explanation but also add to his mental burden. It would be better to wait until he regained his memory and asked them about it later.
Su Renzhong tried hard to digest what Xuan Yuanzhan had told him. Although it was very simple, it was enough to connect the whole story.
There is one...
"You say the Northern Wei emperor allied with my subordinates? Since I have been in Eastern Chu, how could the Northern Wei emperor have allied with the soldiers of Eastern Chu?"
That doesn't make much sense!
Xuanyuan Zhan forgot to tell him about the origins of the Su Family Army, so he quickly explained, "Actually, the Northern Wei emperor discovered you were in Eastern Chu when you came of age. However, he was worried that your uncles would harm you, so he didn't immediately bring you back to Northern Wei. Instead, he sent a secret army to protect you—our Eastern Chu Su Family Army. This army only obeys the orders of the Northern Wei emperor and you, not the Eastern Chu emperor. It was because of this powerful army that you helped the Eastern Chu emperor secure his throne, which is why you became the Great General of Eastern Chu!"
Su Renzhong suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
He said that he was just an unknown nobody who came from Northern Wei to Eastern Chu, so how could he easily become the great general of Eastern Chu? It turned out that his imperial grandfather had sent him a secret army.
That seems to make sense.
Xuanyuan Zhan looked at him again and said, "Your wife and children are all in Northern Wei now. Since you disappeared, they have suffered a lot. It has been a very difficult journey for them. They dream of finding you and bringing you back. This is also the purpose of our trip to Northern Wei. Would you like to come back to Eastern Chu with us?"
