Chapter 194
Found suspicious points
“Why is there a problem with my father and mother’s origins?”
There was confusion in Xiaoliu's eyes, but his heart seemed to have a crack and he gradually began to doubt.
Although his father and mother always pretended that nothing had happened, he could still feel that something was wrong between them. It was because of this that his father was depressed. Even when he was young, he remembered that his father had gone out several times, the longest time being even half a year.
Every time I come back, the first thing my mother asks is, "Did you find it?" Whenever my father shook his head, my mother's eyes would turn red.
"Xiao Liu, if you don't mind, I'd like to search this house. Maybe I can find something useful for us."
"I'm familiar with this house inside and out. There shouldn't be any useful information. I'll leave the few useful ones to you. I don't live here anymore, so search if you want."
Xiaoliu stood up, his eyes full of sadness. He was very familiar with this house, so there shouldn't be anything hidden there.
Jiang Zhaoying nodded.
"Let me search your parents' true identities first, and then I'll tell you slowly on the way, okay?"
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Xiaoliu turned and walked towards his father and mother's grave. He had to take care of the graves before leaving so that he could go with peace of mind.
Shen Liuguang raised his hand.
He led his men into the house and searched inch by inch. Finally, he found a small dress of extremely fine material in the pile of straw on the old woman's bed. The material, embroidery skills, and patterns all showed that the dress came from the Danyang Palace.
When Xiaoliu saw the thing, he was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time. He had never seen this thing before, but it was indeed what they found.
so.
Did my father and mother really come from the royal palace they said they did?
and.
His father was the captain of the guards, and his mother was most likely a personal maidservant to Princess Danyang, or she might be the young master's wet nurse, maid, nanny, etc.
After the death of Princess Danyang, the two children would naturally be killed, so their father and mother took them out to escape.
The flood that year caused many people to lose their lives, and they were probably separated at that time.
Whenever the father earned some money, he would travel far away, most likely to look for the whereabouts of the two children.
"Xiao Liu, how old is your elder brother?"
"Twenty-two years old. Actually... the four in between were not born to my mother. They were picked up by my father when he was away from home. There were two boys and two girls. When he came back, my mother did ask a lot of questions, looked them up and down, and observed them carefully. But in the end, nothing came of it. For a while, my father must have given up on going away, and a year later, I was born."
Jiang Zhaoying's eyes jumped violently.
So that's how it is?
When the old grandfather found them, he thought that their features or some other part of their bodies were very similar to the young master's. Later, he realized that he had made a mistake, so he raised the children responsibly and sent them to live in the town, where they could settle down.
"Are those four adopted sons and daughters filial?"
"They can't be called filial, but they can't be called unfilial either. They come to visit and give gifts during festivals, but there is no interaction during normal times. My mother doesn't seem to care and just tells them to live a good life."
"Twenty-two."
Jiang Zhaoying nodded and calculated the time. That was the year when Princess Danyang's children fled. That is to say, when they were fleeing, Xiaoliu's mother was pregnant, so she had no time to take care of them and caused them to get lost.
so.
The most likely possibility is that Xiaoliu's father and mother were the maids and guards around the prince and the princess.
Anyway.
There is no problem in determining their identities at the moment.
"Miss, nothing was found."
Shu Yun came out and spoke softly, and Jiang Zhaoying nodded.
"Then let's go. Xiaoliu, how about you? Will you come with us? If you want to live on your own, I will pay to buy the things your mother left behind."
"I'll go with you."
Once you have doubts in your mind, it will be very uncomfortable if you don’t clarify them.
Then.
Everyone packed up carefully and the team set off towards the outside of the mountain.
Because Xiaoliu was very familiar with this area, it was much easier for them to walk than before. On the way, Jiang Zhaoying told Xiaoliu everything. Xiaoliu then understood the whole story and decided to fulfill his parents' last wish and find the two masters.
He also wanted to find out whether it was his parents who abandoned them or if there was some other reason. If it was really his parents who abandoned him and escaped, Xiao Liu thought that he should repay his parents.
Because it didn't rain, the rest of the journey was much faster, and we reached Langzhou in just four or five days.
As soon as you enter the city.
Luo Wuheng stepped forward and bowed.
"Your Highness, the accommodation has been arranged. You can go directly there. I will not go with you."
He wanted to check on his uncle Shangguan Shujue, and also check on how the Shangguan family was doing now, and also had to do the things his mother asked him to do.
He originally planned to show up openly, but because of the previous fire in the inn, Luo Wuheng thought of going dark and meeting his uncle at night.
"good."
The prince nodded, and then Shen Liuguang arranged two guards to follow him to avoid any accidents.
Luo Wuheng chose a small house for them that was relatively close to the city gate. This would make it convenient for them to get in and out, and would also be hidden from others.
Night fell.
The prince, Jiang Zhaoying, and A Yu quietly went out to find the approximate location of the dragon vein. Cui Hexun took people to investigate everywhere in the city, and Shen Liuguang was responsible for finding the whereabouts of King Yue Ming.
For some unknown reason, patrols in the city were suddenly stepped up at night and the city gates were closed, so people could only enter but not leave.
Cui Hexun took a lot of effort to send Jiang Zhaoying and the others out of the city.
Because she had the mark of the dragon vein on her body, Jiang Zhaoying had to spend almost no effort and the others rode fast all the way and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Because of the suppression of power, the compasses in their hands were almost motionless, but the dragon energy on Jiang Zhaoying's body was inductively connected to the mountain in front of them.
"Look, there are cracks in the mountain."
A Yu pointed at one of the points and frowned, and Jiang Zhaoying nodded.
"If the mountain collapses without repair, I don't know how many people will be in danger."
The reason for the crack is that the dragon vein does not want to stay here and struggle anymore. It still has a trace of rationality and knows that it will bring serious consequences, so it has been enduring the weakness in its body and not moving much. But once it reaches the point that it can no longer bear, it will definitely withdraw and leave.
"There are people up there."
A location halfway up the mountain.
Suddenly, there were moving specks of starlight. Upon closer inspection, they were actually some torches. Several people hurriedly put away their compasses and crawled under a big tree.
"There's no easy way up the mountain, so the best way is to hang down from the top."
The prince said in a deep voice after a careful inspection, and then the secret guard disappeared quietly.
"Wait until later."
As soon as the words fell.
There was a shrill scream from above my head, followed by a bang.
The sound disappears.
Someone must have accidentally fallen from above.
The prince held Jiang Zhaoying's hand tightly and turned to speak to them.
"You must be careful."
"good."
Jiang Zhaoying nodded, and waited for the secret guards to come over. Then they were led by the secret guards to the top of the mountain little by little.
In the second half of the night.
They tied ropes and slid down little by little.
When they landed on a huge rock that was inserted horizontally into the mountain, the torch at the entrance of the cave lit up again. A Yu raised his hand, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hugged Jiang Zhaoying and the other two and leaned back with his backs pressed tightly against the cold stone wall.
"Then the fortune teller must be inside?"
Jiang Zhaoying spoke softly to A Yu, and A Yu nodded.
"But right now, we still don't know whether he wants to repair the dragon vein or destroy it."
So they had only one choice, which was to go in and see what was going on.
