Jiang Zhan placed his hands on the table, clenched them tightly, and said word by word: "There is a traitor in the Great Zhou!"

Jiang Si's expression changed: "Was my second brother in danger due to someone's scheme?"

Jiang Zhan nodded: "I was fighting with the enemy at that time, and I had the upper hand, but an arrow flew from behind, causing me to fall into the river..."

"So, second brother doesn't know who shot the sneak attack?" Anger rose, but Jiang Si's face became more and more expressionless.

Jiang Zhan pounded the table helplessly: "Let me know who it is, I will kill him!"

"I will look into this matter." Yu Jin said.

Jiang Zhan was unwilling to give up. He thought about it, but couldn't figure out who he had offended since coming to the south. He had no choice but to say, "Then I'll ask the prince to find out who hurt me and tell me."

"That's natural." Yu Jin raised his hand and patted Jiang Zhan's arm, advising, "Don't keep thinking about it. Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, and sometimes it's hard to tell."

Jiang Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I was framed and almost died. Can I still call myself blessed?"

"In the battle of Jishui River, the Great Zhou army was almost wiped out." Yu Jian said.

The so-called complete annihilation of the Great Zhou army certainly does not mean that all the Great Zhou army was killed. In every battle, it is impossible for both armies to go out in full force, but they send out some soldiers to fight.

When Yu Jin mentioned that the Great Zhou army was almost wiped out, he was referring to the soldiers who went into battle.

Jiang Zhan fell silent immediately.

He understood what Yu Jin meant.

His army was almost wiped out. If he had not fallen into the Jishui River but continued to fight, he might have ended up dying on the battlefield.

No, the inevitable end is to return home with your body wrapped in its hide.

In such a situation, fighting to the death is the right choice for a soldier.

But he would rather live and die with his comrades.

Thinking about those people from the same generation, young and old, each face intertwined in his mind, and Jiang Zhan's eyes couldn't help but become moist.

At this moment, he couldn't hide his emotions even in front of Jiang Si and others. He raised his hand to wipe his eyes and said hoarsely: "I made a lot of friends... There is a boy named Tiedan who always wants me to help him get married. There is also a guy named Ashan who likes to show off that he has a son and a daughter, but this guy doesn't know how many months a woman has to be pregnant before she can give birth to a child. Fourth sister, you don't know, at that time, a group of old men argued over this..."

By the time he finished speaking, Jiang Zhan's face was already covered in tears.

They are all dead. These people are dead.

He clenched his fists so hard that veins popped out on the backs of his hands.

Those hands were no longer the hands that Jiang Si had in mind as a young master from a noble family. Instead, they had become extremely rough.

Everyone was silent.

After a long time, Jiang Zhan calmed down and smiled brightly: "Your Highness is right, I am a blessed person."

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Si and said in a cautious and flattering tone: "Fourth sister, I feel that I will have good fortune in the future after surviving a great disaster--"

Jiang Si looked at him coldly and said, "If you want to go to the battlefield again in the future, you don't have to discuss it with me. Just get father's consent."

The second brother is no longer the playboy who lives in misery, but has grown into a man who cares about his country.

There are some things she is unwilling to do, but she cannot force herself to do them. But after this false alarm, she is really afraid...

Yu Jin held Jiang Si's hand and said to Jiang Zhan, "It's too early to think about these things now. Let's go back to Beijing first. At least until the person who plotted against you is found out, I don't recommend you to go to the battlefield again."

Jiang Er is such a despicable guy. Why do they always push these difficult problems onto Asi? If something happens in the future, will Asi be able to have an easy life?

In the final analysis, Jiang Er just needs a wife. Hurry up and marry one, and discuss these matters with his wife.

Jiang Zhan smiled awkwardly: "Of course I will go back to Beijing first."

It is said that everyone in the capital knew that he was dead, and if he didn't go back, a cenotaph would probably be built there.

"Rest for a night and set off tomorrow." Yu Jin said, pulling Jiang Si away.

Long Dan glanced at the sky and whispered, "Isn't it too early to rest now?"

Yu Jin glanced at Long Dan coldly.

Long Dan's scalp tingled, and he quickly smiled and said, "Oh, I am indeed tired. Second Young Master, do you want to take a rest?"

Jiang Zhan looked confused.

Rest? He is not tired. He still has a lot to say to his sister.

By the time Jiang Zhan reacted, Jiang Si had already been pulled away by Yu Jin.

After closing the door, Yu Jin wanted to hug Jiang Si. He looked at the unfamiliar face and hesitated for a moment before suggesting, "Ah Si, why don't you disguise your face first?"

"Yeah." Jiang Si took out a special ointment and removed the disguise bit by bit using a palm-sized diamond-shaped mirror he carried with him.

Although Elder Hua suggested that she wait until she left Southern Xinjiang before removing her disguise, she did not intend to do so.

Elder Hua and Ah Hua are on the wanted list of the Jinlin Guards. It is not appropriate for her to show up here with her real appearance, and it is equally unsafe for her to come into contact with Ah Zhen in Ah Hua's appearance.

The safest thing is to become someone who does not exist in the world.

Yu Jin watched eagerly as Jiang Si revealed his true appearance, but soon his bare hands smeared some things on his fair face and he became another person.

A handsome but not too eye-catching boy?

Yu Jin was stunned: "Asi, how did you get yourself into this state?"

Jiang Si smiled: "Does it look like it?"

She was not very proficient in the art of disguise, so it was a little difficult for her to make one person look 80% like another person like Elder Ruhua did. However, it was not difficult to change the facial features and become a person who did not exist.

With her current appearance, if she changed into men's clothes, she wouldn't have to worry about who saw her.

Once the disguise is removed, who can find someone who does not exist in the world?

"Don't you think he looks too much like a young boy? Are you stunned?" Seeing that Yu Jin didn't respond, Jiang Si smiled and pushed him.

"Like..." Yu Jin responded, feeling very complicated.

He thought that since Ah Si was facing a strange girl, he could still try to kiss her, but now——

Yu Jin could only smile bitterly, and had to give up his tender thoughts and talk about business: "Jiang Zhan was plotted against. During this time I have found some clues."

Jiang Si's face straightened: "Got any clues?"

Yu Jin nodded: "One of the people who secretly protected Jiang Zhan survived. I learned from him the identity of the person who shot the arrow. He was an ordinary soldier named Huang Qi, from Hedong. There is nothing unusual about his identity. As for the others, we need to return to the capital to investigate carefully."

"It's good to have clues. If you follow the clues, you will find something."

"Well, I suspect that the mastermind behind the plot against Jiang Zhan is targeting us, so there is no need to mention this to Jiang Zhan for now, lest he show it after returning to Beijing and startle us."

Jiang Si nodded, and briefly explained the agreement with the Great Elder Wu Miao. Finally, he said, "I didn't tell the Great Elder about Aunt Duo because I was afraid of alerting the enemy. The purpose of Elder Hua and Aunt Duo coming to the capital may be related to the other two hexagrams that the Great Elder was unwilling to talk about."
