Chapter 911 Are you so optimistic about him?
Liu Shan smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, I have been following General Xu since I was in my early twenties. I understand that having your name crossed out in the army is equivalent to dying in battle.
The brother who saw me off told me that a disabled person like me was worse than a dead person in the general's eyes.
At least the dead won't waste the army's rations."
Song Yanxi frowned upon hearing this and couldn't help but speak, "Although I've only known Uncle Xu for a short time, this isn't something he would say."
When she was treating epidemics in the border town, she had heard a lot about Uncle Xu's deeds from everyone.
Whether in the mouths of beggars or in the hearts of the people in the border town, he is an excellent general.
He was a man of integrity and justice. Apart from supporting his two adopted daughters, he spent all his salary over the years on the border troops and the people in the border towns.
Such a person will not speak ill of others for no reason.
Not to mention, this person had been his subordinate for several years and they had a life-and-death friendship.
The Zhennan Army has strict military regulations. If Liu Shan really did something unforgivable, he, as the commander-in-chief, would never let him off easily.
Thinking about it this way, she was more willing to believe that Xu Xiao had other hidden reasons for driving Liu Shan out of the military camp.
Moreover, this matter is most likely related to Yunque, who is beside Princess Huayang.
Speaking of sad things, even Liu Shan, a tough guy, couldn't help but tear up. He said in a muffled voice: "My general is a good man. He didn't deserve to die a violent death."
Song Yanxi glanced at Mo Jinchuan and said carefully, "Brother Liu, Uncle Xu committed suicide."
Liu Shan blurted out: "This is impossible!"
He stared at Song Yanxi intently, "The general is a great hero, there's no way he would be so depressed."
As he spoke, he looked at Mo Jinchuan without giving up and asked, "Your Majesty, the princess must be joking with Old Liu, right?"
Mo Jinchuan's eyes darkened, "Every word Xier said is true."
Liu Shan's expression froze as he murmured, "How could it be? The general still has two young ladies to take care of. How could he bear to..."
He hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, where are the general's two daughters?"
Mo Jinchuan said: "The two young ladies are as brave as any man. They have inherited their father's will and voluntarily stayed in the border army."
"Good!" Liu Shan suddenly smiled, his face full of satisfaction, and said, "As expected of the girls raised by the general, they are like their father, with backbone."
He looked up at the roof of the carriage, not daring to let his tears fall.
The general once said, a man sheds blood, not tears.
He is a soldier led by the general, and he must not bring shame to him and the Zhennan Army.
Thinking of the master and servant sitting in the carriage in front, Liu Shan lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, that Miss Skylark must have been to the Zhennan military camp more than once before. I saw her find Lin Zhongquan's tent without anyone leading the way.
At that time, I thought she was Lin Zhongquan's mistress who was kept outside, and she took advantage of the dead of night to meet him secretly. After asking other people, I found out that he had been living alone in the military camp since he arrived in southern Xinjiang.
I haven’t even seen a female fly, let alone a woman.”
Song Yanxi knew that Lin Zhongquan was heartless.
Because he had abandoned her and her two children and fled to southern Xinjiang, Mrs. Lin always felt aggrieved whenever she mentioned it.
He won't stop until he has been cursing for three or two hours each time.
In the past, when she was feeling bad, she would call her daughter-in-law over and stand by her to listen to her scolding.
For two or three hours, I was not allowed to sit or drink water, and just listened to her talk about how difficult life had been over the years.
Raising children is such a grievance.
But she just refused to mention why Lin Zhongquan was so cruel, leaving her in Beijing after she had just given birth, and even ignoring her for so many years.
If she had not heard the secret about the Lin family from Aunt Qiu, she would probably never have imagined that Mrs. Lin, who seemed to have been loyal to her husband for half her life, had the courage to cuckold him.
According to Mrs. Lin, Lin Zhongquan had already taken concubines and had children outside over the years, which was why he cruelly ignored them.
But from what Brother Liu said, Lin Zhongquan hasn't looked for him again in all these years?
Taking Lin Tingfeng as an example, Song Yanxi doesn't think that he, as a father, is the kind of person who would be hurt by love and would never touch a woman again.
If he was really so selfless, he should have completely severed ties with Jing instead of secretly communicating with his eldest son for decades and stirring up trouble.
While speaking, Liu Shan paid attention to Song Yanxi's reaction. Seeing that she was just thinking and not angry, he dared to continue.
He said, "Your Highness and the Princess don't know this, but Lin Zhongquan is a cunning and hypocritical man, and none of the brothers in the army want to have anything to do with him.
Before I left the barracks, General Xu and he had a big fight, and I don’t know what it was about.”
Xi Lin couldn't help but ask, "Is that all?"
Liu Shan nodded, "That's all."
Understanding what Xi Lin was disliking, he was helpless, "Doctor Xi, Lao Liu is just a rough man. At that time, all he thought about every day was when he could have a tough fight to satisfy his desire.
Even if I have some free time, I just lie down in the tent and sleep, so I don’t have time to care about anything else.”
His thoughts were also the thoughts of other soldiers in the army.
Once on the battlefield, you will be killed. The dead will be buried on the spot, and the living will go back to sleep, waiting to go to the battlefield again next time.
Apart from killing enemies and achieving great things, they can't think of anything else.
Mo Jinchuan had been in the border town for ten years, so he could naturally understand Liu Shan.
He said, "Brother Liu, I have taken note of what you just said.
If General Xu was truly murdered, I will seek justice for him."
Liu Shan couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. He wiped his eyes and said, "With the prince's words, Old Liu is satisfied."
He slowly lowered his head and sighed softly, "General, your spirit in heaven, please bless us to have a smooth journey."
As he spoke, he quickly said "Pah, Pah" twice, his eyes determined as he said, "God is watching. Those who harm others will suffer retribution sooner or later!"

"A-choo!"
A corner of the carriage curtain was lifted by the wind, and the cold wind that blew in carried the unique muddy smell of the riverside.
Yunque hurriedly used something to hold down the curtain, then turned around and took a blanket to cover Princess Huayang's legs.
Her movements were delicate and gentle, and she was careful as if she was protecting a treasure in the world.
Princess Huayang pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and said lightly, "No need to bother, I'm not cold."
Yun Que paused for a moment and advised, "The wind is strong by the river, and the princess's health is at risk."
Princess Huayang: "Yuque, raise your head."
Yu Que looked up as she was told and met her extremely cold eyes.
Realizing something, she softly comforted him, "His Royal Highness Prince Jin is still young, and it's inevitable that what he says may be unpleasant to the ear. Princess, please don't take it personally.
After all, Your Highness was raised by the princess herself, so he is different from the others."
Princess Huayang asked coldly, "Do you think so highly of him?"
