She still remembered the young Lieutenant Li, who served under her father's command, with a bright and clear smile. He was so young and unmarried, and he always said that he would return home to get married after this battle.
Xie Wanyun called him brother. Brother Li often brought her back rare little toys from the battlefield and from various places, and every time he came back, he would give them to her like treasures.
There was also Brigadier General Liu, who had a big beard and looked very fierce, but she was not afraid of him at all because the bearded uncle would make her a kite. The winds outside the Great Wall were strong, and the kites were called harriers, which were made very large and flew very high.
They are all her uncles and her brothers.
Their deaths were unclear. If the dead knew about this, what would they think?
Xie Wanyun was filled with anger, sorrow, and grief. Her face was pale and her breathing was blocked.
"Mingmiao?" Yan Suizhi called out worriedly.
"I'm fine." Xie Wanyun was Xie Wanyun after all. Having lived a new life, she could withstand any storm. She wiped her face and asked, "How do you know this?"
"Over the years, I have been working hard to search for evidence. I know it is difficult and dangerous, but I want to give an explanation to the deceased Xie family and the soldiers of the three armed forces."
Yan Suizhi's voice was calm, only his eyes were burning with flames.
He said it lightly, but Xie Wanyun knew that he was just a scholar, weak and powerless, yet he bravely put himself in a dangerous situation surrounded by wolves. All this was just to seek justice for those who died unjustly.
He bore the stigma but never defended himself.
Xie Wanyun was overwhelmed with emotions.
Yan Suizhi, what kind of steadfast and fearless heart does he possess? How did he achieve this?
Walking alone in the darkness, just for a goal that may not be achieved at all.
Xie Wanyun suppressed the tears that were welling up in her eyes as she looked back. Now was not the time to indulge herself. Their situation was still difficult and dangerous.
"Yan Suizhi... who gave the fake marching map to the reinforcements?"
"I haven't got any conclusive evidence yet, but all the suspicions point to one person. This person was the only one who held military power besides the Xie family, the Duke of Zhenguo. His title was higher than that of the Duke of Zhenguo." Yan Suizhi paused here.
"Yes - Regent. Han Cheng." Xie Wanyun said slowly.
Yan Suizhi pursed his lips tightly. He said in a deep voice, "I just have a suspicion. I haven't gathered any concrete evidence yet."
Regent Han Cheng is the only king of a different surname in this dynasty.
That year, the previous emperor suddenly passed away, leaving the court in chaos. Dezong was still a young prince, without any foundation or influence in the court. It was Han Cheng who bravely supported him, overcoming all odds, clearing the way for his ascension to the throne, and wholeheartedly assisted the young emperor in governing the country.
Because of such great achievements, he was named Regent and the throne was passed down from generation to generation.
Could it be him? If the Xie family is destroyed, he will be able to take sole control of the military power. Second only to the emperor, above all others.
But by doing this, wouldn't he also be putting himself in danger? No emperor would allow a powerful minister to hold a large army.
Moreover, Han Cheng has been less aggressive and retreated behind the scenes since the emperor came to power.
So Xie Wanyun never doubted him.
Also, hasn’t Yan Suizhi always had a good relationship with this Han Cheng?
As if he understood the doubt in her eyes, Yan Suizhi replied, "Two years ago, I accidentally discovered that this matter was related to Han Cheng, so I deliberately approached him. At first, he was very wary of me, but after a long time, he let down his guard. When I find solid evidence, I will definitely give justice to the Duke of Zhenguo and the Xie family army."
"Aren't you afraid? Yan Suizhi, there may be other conspiracies here, and you may not be able to escape unscathed." Xie Wanyun couldn't help but say.
"Of course I'm afraid. But what I care more about is whether the truth can be revealed to the world." Yan Suizhi looked stern.
I am in danger at any moment and could die at any moment, and that is why I want to stay away from you.
Yan Suizhi was a martyr. For the belief in his heart, he was unwavering and willing to sacrifice his life.
