Five days later
"We should go back. The emperor won't let you stay in the northern frontier." Ye Nan wrapped his coat tightly and looked at the figure sitting with his back to the tombstone not far away.
"I know." Gu Junwen's voice was hoarse. He turned back to look at Ye Nanyi and said, "I'm coming."
Silence spread again. In the long silence, Ye Nanyi suddenly pulled Gu Junwen up and said, "Captain Huo got what he wanted. He..."
Ye Nanyi changed the subject and handed over a letter: "This was found at Huo Chengping's residence. You are mentioned in it. Take a look."
"I'm glad to hear from you. I haven't seen you for three years. Are you all right?
I know that I have committed a grave sin, and I will be speechless in front of my brothers a hundred years from now. I am sick and disabled, and I do not want to live in this world. I only have two or three things to tell you.
Three years ago, I escaped death and saved my life. Because of a thought in my heart, Huaiyue Valley suffered a miserable defeat. I accidentally learned that the governor of Tanzhou colluded with Youdu and intercepted the letter, causing our army to go deep into the hinterland and be isolated and helpless.
After this battle, my revenge was achieved, my wish was fulfilled, and I am happy for the rest of my life.
A few years ago, I bought a flower called opium poppy from Qizhou. If you take its juice and inhale it, you will become addicted. "
"That's why the battle of Tanzhou was so easy." Gu Junwen looked up at Ye Nanyiyi.
"Yes, Captain Huo had been preparing for this for a long time, so this battle did not result in heavy casualties." Ye Nanyi imitated Gu Junwen and placed a white flower in front of the tomb.
"But there is no need to go to such great lengths. Uncle Huo only needs to unite the surrounding states and counties. He didn't have to choose this method."
"This is the second letter. I have read it, but I haven't shown it to anyone else." Ye Nanyi looked at Gu Junwen quietly, "It says something about an old case. Captain Huo thinks you are isolated and helpless, so he wants to leave you a trump card."
"What?" Gu Junwen took the letter paper. The letter paper was yellow and dry, and it must be quite old.
"These are the words that Huang Yan didn't ask. They are about you and me. Before Qiao Junhou was wrongly imprisoned, he had sensed that the Qiao family would be in trouble, so he sent a letter to his old friend in advance. The letter was secretly kept by the governor of Tanzhou."
"Ding Dong!" The system's automatic prompt sounded in my mind, "The plot has been advanced by three quarters, and there is only one plot mission left. Please keep up the good work, host."
Gu Junwen had been looking forward to this for a long time, and the plot progress that had supported her was finally coming to an end.
According to the plot development, she will not stay in the book for long. Gu Junwen paused while unfolding the letter paper: "Tongtong, what is the last task?"
"Probably to help the male protagonist get revenge. The truth has been revealed, so the next step is revenge." The mechanical voice of System 101 was crisp.
"Okay. All, can I do one more thing?"
"What!" System 101 seemed to have frozen, and there was no sound for a long time. "Host! Are you still you? You are not being penetrated by the core!"
"Shut up!" The emotions that had been brewing with great difficulty were burst by System 101 like a bubble. Gu Junwen touched his eyebrows, feeling helpless.
"In theory, it is possible. As long as it does not disrupt the general direction, any development is possible." System 101 waved its mechanical arm. "Host, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing." After receiving a positive reply, Gu Junwen unfolded the letter, read it, and frowned slightly.
The contents of the letter were not surprising: they were all about the fact that the Qiao family was too powerful to be trusted by the emperor, that the ministers were afraid of them, and that the aristocratic families did not tolerate them. It was obvious that the Qiao family was wronged.
"Having this piece of letter paper will indeed help us investigate the truth of that year, but..."
A complex array of thoughts suddenly rushed into Gu Junwen’s mind: I have a red mole on my right arm, too. Who am I?
Gu Junwen felt as if she was sitting in a fog, and she couldn't figure out what was going on. She lowered her head and read the letter again, and a line of words caught her eye:
"The prince's biological son Ye Xiu Nan has a red mole on his right arm. He is the son of my daughter and the prince, and is the same age as the Southern King. I only ask my old friend to take care of him..."
"So!" Gu Junwen's pupils dilated due to excessive shock. He watched Ye Nan calmly lift up his right sleeve, and an inch above his elbow, a red mole was clearly visible.
"I trust you, and I can't hide it from you. You know what's on my mind." Ye Nanyi slowed down his voice, "I want you to help me find out the truth."
