Chapter 182: We are wronged!
Yu Lingye's voice darkened: "The last battle was extremely brutal."
"The Dayu Dynasty's army was approaching, but Chile stubbornly resisted, even attempting to use my aunt's life to force the Dayu Dynasty to withdraw."
"General Chu, who led a large army, was afraid to act rashly and ordered his troops to withdraw. He led a group of light cavalry into the capital of Chile and rescued my aunt."
"On the way back, they were discovered by the Chile soldiers. General Chu ordered the light cavalry to bring my aunt back, while he led the pursuing troops along another route."
After hearing this, Xie Yingmian almost guessed what would happen next.
She said, "General Chu was the Grand Princess's sweetheart. He rescued the Grand Princess, but he didn't come back?"
Yu Lingye was startled when he heard this: "Not many people know about this. How did you find out?"
Xie Yingmian said, "I guessed."
This is not difficult to guess, this is how all the melodramatic stories are written.
"General Chu should not be dead yet, or rather, his life or death is unknown and he has disappeared without a trace."
Yu Lingye asked, "Is this also a guess?"
Xie Yingmian: "It's just speculation."
"The eldest princess looks very poorly. Even without taking her pulse, one can tell she is terminally ill. She is only alive because of one belief."
"You said earlier that all her children died, and it wasn't her children who supported her."
"She has returned to the Dayu Dynasty, and it is not her hometown that supports her."
"So there's only one answer left, lover."
"So I guess that General Chu just disappeared, and there is no definite news of his death."
Yu Lingye said: "You guessed right."
"The light cavalry escorted my aunt back to the Dayu Dynasty. Chile was badly defeated and willingly became a vassal state of the Dayu Dynasty. This battle ended with the Dayu Dynasty's victory, but General Chu's whereabouts are unknown, and his life or death is unknown."
"My aunt's wish is to see him again in her lifetime."
Xie Yingmian sighed, "Don't hold too much hope in me. I can only do my best."
Yu Lingye did not respond.
He looked at the dark green mountains in the distance.
The dark clouds weighed down the mountaintop like a block of lead.
There was a wind blowing from the top of the mountain, carrying snow beads from far away. When it fell on people, there was only a biting cold.
I don't know when the sky turned gloomy.
The wind rises and the clouds sink.
There was an unbreakable solemnity in Yu Lingye's eyes: "It's going to snow."
Xie Yingmian could already feel the cold wind blowing.
She looked up at the sky: "It looks like it's going to snow heavily."
Boom boom boom.
The Buddhist chanting begins, and the soul-calling ceremony begins.
Coincidentally, the moment the summoning of spirits began, snow began to fall from the sky.
The snowflakes were like fine salt, and then they gradually grew bigger.
Amid the increasingly heavy Buddhist chanting, the weather became increasingly gloomy and the snow fell heavier.
Puzhaotai was soon covered with a layer of white snow.
"Soul, come back! Soul, come back!"
On the Puzhao Terrace, the voices of the soldiers penetrated the wind and snow and echoed in the sky.
Each call carries a heavy power, as if it can penetrate time and space, and tear open a path home for the heroic souls who died in battle in the distance.
The mountain wind howled, as if the heroic spirits were responding.
The sound of Sanskrit is the tragic note of the heroes returning home.
Snowflakes fluttered, drifting and swirling on Puzhaotai, like the phantoms of heroes.
Xie Yingmian was also infected by this atmosphere.
Whether in this era or in the 29th century where she lives, the soldiers' paths of return are the same.
Defend our country until our death.
The soldiers of this era can at least be buried in peace.
In her time, countless teammates died in space.
The sound of Sanskrit enters the ears.
Xie Yingmian inexplicably recalled the last expedition before being transferred to the research institute.
There were ten teams in that expedition, each with ten people.
Only two teams returned safely.
The other eight teams disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown.
Although her team returned safely, many of them suffered casualties.
The other team was even worse off, with only one person returning.
As a military doctor, she had all the medical skills but was powerless to do anything and could only watch her teammates die beside her.
Teammates died one after another.
One by one, friends turned into corpses.
What was the mission that time?
How did they all die?
Xie Yingmian couldn't remember.
Why can’t I remember?
The sound of Buddhist chants hit my ears, and those memories that were deliberately sealed away were being broken bit by bit.
A severe headache came over me.
Xie Yingmian's face turned pale in an instant.
Yu Lingye stretched out his hand.
His long, thin fingers clasped hers.
"What's wrong?" Yu Lingye asked.
Xie Yingmian said, "I seem to have forgotten something."
"There's a special power in the Sanskrit sound that reminded me a little bit, but unfortunately, my head hurts so much when I think about it any further."
"Then don't think about it anymore." Yu Lingye said, "It's time to start."
Xie Yingmian was just about to ask what was about to begin.
A man with broken legs and a tall white wolf appeared in the snow.
The white wolf pulled the man through the wind and snow, through layers of guards, and rushed straight to Puzhaotai.
It all happened incredibly fast.
It was so fast that no one could react.
By the time everyone reacted, someone shouted "Protect the emperor."
The man with the broken legs shouted: "Your Majesty, Liao Qingshan, pays homage to the Emperor."
"Long live the emperor."
When the name Liao Qingshan came out, everyone was shocked.
Liao Qingshan was Concubine Liao Shufei's brother and the vanguard general in the Battle of Dead Man's Ridge.
In the Battle of Dead Man's Ridge that year, Liao Qingshan rebelled and gave out wrong information, which led to the death of 3,000 Longyuan soldiers.
The emperor was furious and confiscated the Liao family's property and exiled them.
Concubine Liao Shufei crashed to death in the hall in order to prove her innocence.
After many years, Liao Qingshan, who should have died long ago, returned to Shangjing in this state.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent."
Liao Qingshan shouted with a hoarse voice, and his voice sounded particularly shrill in the wind and snow.
"We are wronged!"
"We did not betray the Longyuan Army. We did not convey the wrong information. Our letters were replaced."
Liao Qingshan's face was covered with crisscrossing scars, and his original appearance could not be seen at all.
As he shouted this, tears mixed with blood slid down his cheeks.
The white snow suddenly turned into shocking crimson.
"Back then, we delivered the message back to the military camp, but were replaced by Qin Aoshuang. Qin Aoshuang then passed the wrong information to General Xiao. General Xiao followed the wrong information and arrived at Dead Man's Ridge, where he was ambushed."
"In order to silence us, Qin Aoshuang sent people to kill us."
"The vanguard of 300 people was killed by the people sent by Qin Aoshuang and Yu Zhenxiao. I narrowly escaped, but both my legs were broken, leaving me unable to move. I could only linger on where I was, and it took me several years to finally reach Shangjing."
"emperor."
Liao Qingshan was almost crawling on the snow.
"Your Majesty, please make a decision for the soldiers who died unjustly."
"Your Majesty, please thoroughly investigate the truth behind the Battle of Dead Man's Ridge."
"Your Majesty, please allow the soldiers who died unjustly to be vindicated and return home."
"They sacrificed their lives for the Dayu Dynasty. They risked their lives to defend their country. They didn't deserve such a tragic end."
