It was too far away, and Shen Zhaozhao stretched his ears as far as he could, but still couldn't hear clearly.
I only saw Cao Ya help the old general up, say a few words, then turn around and leave the Zhan family.
General Zhan was left standing alone in the middle of the yard, standing there blankly for a while. When he turned around to face them, Shen Zhaozhao clearly saw that his eyes were red and there were faint traces of tears on his face.
Shen Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat.
It seems that Cao Ya has a very powerful background!
"Grandfather!" Zhan Nanxing walked out of the corner before Shen Zhaozhao and showed up. He was also shocked by the scene just now.
Old General Zhan noticed Shen Zhaozhao and Zhan Nanxing at the corner, and quickly turned his back, raising his hand to secretly wipe away his tears.
"Grandfather, did you know that Miss Cao before?" Zhan Nanxing asked.
Zhan Jianzhi knew that they must have seen him kneeling down in front of Cao Ya. If he explained it truthfully, it would be too unbelievable.
I guess Nanxing won’t believe it.
"I don't know him." Zhan Jianzhi simply chose not to answer.
"Grandfather, I'll help you go back to the house to rest," Shen Zhaozhao came forward with a smile, supported Zhan Jianzhi's arm, turned around and winked at Zhan Nanxing, "General Guan is still at the table, and your husband is still with you."
She came to test the old general's opinion.
Zhan Nanxing nodded slightly and watched her support her grandfather as they walked to the other end of the yard.
"Zhao Zhao, you can walk by yourself. You go and rest first." Zhan Jianzhi took a few steps and spoke.
He just didn't want to be questioned by his grandson, so after getting rid of Zhan Nanxing, he shouted to drive Chen Zhaozhao away.
"Grandfather, Cao Ya and 놖 are very close friends," Shen Zhaozhao did not leave, but persuaded, "So, 놖 also knows that she has some memories from a long time ago."
Zhan Jianzhi suddenly stopped and stared at Shen Zhaozhao with a pair of old but clear eyes.
"Oh? Are there such bizarre things in the world?" Zhan Jianzhi asked back.
He did not tell his discovery immediately, but tried to test Shen Zhaozhao.
"The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things," Shen Zhaozhao said with a smile, "Just like 놖, 놖 also has secrets that even my husband doesn't know!"
"So what's wrong with Cao Ya may seem incredible to others, but it's very normal to me."
Zhan Jianzhi listened in silence for a long time.
"Grandfather, if you want, tell me about your discovery," Shen Zhaozhao sent Zhan Jianzhi to the door of his and Old Lady Zhan's house and stopped. "Based on what she knows about Cao Ya, she won't admit it."
"Are you close to her?" Zhan Jianzhi raised his eyes and confirmed again and again.
Shen Zhaozhao smiled and nodded, “If you don’t believe me, go ask your husband. He used to be jealous of Cao Ya!”
Zhan Jianzhi sighed, "Well, you also think that she has some memories from a long time ago, which means you have noticed it too. There is nothing to hide."
Zhan Jianzhi pointed to a bench under the eaves and walked over and sat down first.
Shen Zhaozhao took the opportunity to sit at the other end and listened to him talk about his discoveries and things that happened long ago.
"When he came back this time, he talked to Dongfeng and the others about the war that year," Zhan Jianzhi looked at the night sky, "It was the emperor who arranged for someone to leak the plan of our Zhan family army to the foreign countries."
At first, Zhan Jianzhi was unwilling to believe it. After all, he and the emperor were friends for life and death, and he accompanied him in conquering the world, which led to the Dafeng of today.
Anyone could stab him in the back except the emperor.
Then, the facts and evidence are like this. He and Zhan Mingzhong were imprisoned by foreign countries for so long that the emperor even ordered General Guan to kill them.
He has to believe it even if he doesn't want to.
"Until they said that this time it was a little girl named Cao Ya who led the way, so they could have a smooth journey," Zhan Jianzhi said, "They all said that a little girl who had been out of Beijing from 냭 could not have such insight."
"I noticed it. When the emperor was trying to subdue the tribes in the south, he married his sister, Princess Yongning, to the foreign country in order to appease them."
Zhan Jianzhi looked at Shen Zhaozhao, his eyes shining, “The emperor you know can’t possibly harm the Zhan family, you know him.”
Shen Zhaozhao bit his lip, and an even more incredible guess emerged in his heart, "So you guessed that the person who had a life-and-death friendship with you and a love in your hands was the emperor's sister, not the emperor's person."
Zhan Jianzhi nodded, "When we were fighting together, he always had a mask covering half of his face, and he never ate with us."
"With this guess, all the questions have answers."
Zhan Jianzhi's expression became serious.
"Princess Yongning passed away less than a year after she married into a foreign country."
Shen Zhaozhao thought of Cao Ya, “Do you suspect that Cao Ya might be the reincarnation of Princess Yongning?”
Zhan Jianzhi nodded, "It was only after I heard General Guan talk about that foreign king that I became suspicious."
"Miss Cao was a former Beijing lady. Not only did she kidnap the foreign king, she also gouged out his eyes with a dagger before handing him over to General Guan."
Zhan Jianzhi still remembers the way Guan Pingle grimaced when he talked about this.
Guan Pingle even whispered at the time that Cao Ya would definitely have a relationship with this king in her lifetime.
So he took advantage of the evening banquet to test her in every way.
The "emperor" he knew could not eat eggs. Several times he saw a large red rash on that person's forehead, and after asking, he found out that he had accidentally eaten eggs.
However, Cao Ya ate it. Not only did he eat it, he ate it whenever he was given it, without asking or refusing. It was as if he had something to hide and was trying to cover it up.
"Do you think you have guessed correctly, so you just knelt down in front of her for the final confirmation?" Shen Zhaozhao asked softly.
"Yes." Zhan Jianzhi stood up, his thin body proudly standing upright in the night wind. "It's her!"
Shen Zhaozhao was speechless for a long time. General Zhan had been through so much, and she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
The good thing is that his "brother" who shared life and death with him never betrayed him.
The bad thing is, even if I were reborn as Cao Ya, I would no longer be that person.
The howling night wind brought the lively laughter into the main hall.
Faintly, there was the sound of an old man sobbing.
Shen Zhaozhao took out a handkerchief and waited for a long time, until he had almost vented his anger, before handing him the handkerchief.
"She said, 'I'm sorry, but I can't face you.'"
"Let her hate me..."
Zhan Jianzhi was in tears, and he clenched the handkerchief so tightly that veins were visible on the back of his hand.
"She is a girl who took over her brother's conquest of the world. When the great cause was about to be accomplished, she could not become the emperor and could only hand over the fruits of her labor to that tyrant!"
"What about her? She went to marry Dafeng! She died in the grasslands outside the Great Wall!"
"Hate!"
"How can I not hate it!"
"I hate that she didn't treat me as a brother and didn't tell me anything. I also hate myself for not discovering anything after being in a life-and-death relationship with her!"
Zhan Jianzhi's eyes were bloodshot, and he was overwhelmed by the mixed emotions of indignation and regret. After he finished speaking, he burst into a loud cough and bent over. His thin body could no longer stand straight and hunched over.
Shen Zhaozhao hurriedly patted his back and was about to help him back to the house to rest when he saw Zhan Jianzhi, who was coughing continuously, closing his eyes, his face ashen, and falling forward.
"grandfather!"
