Chapter 459 I swear I will not rest until I avenge this grudge.
He spoke in a low voice about that bloody night thirteen years ago.
"I was young then, and all I knew was that Liangzhou City was about to fall, and I was so scared that I cried several times."
That day, the Northern Rong people launched another attack, and the battle was extremely fierce. Even Uncle Lu was injured.
The city gate trembled from the impact, and the prince, along with his elder brothers, went up to the city wall.
Because I was young, I was in charge of transporting arrows to the city wall. Later, Aunt Lu came and said that the young master should lead us to transfer the remaining people in the city.
The city gates could not be defended, so we had no choice but to abandon them, let the enemy into the city, and prepare for street fighting.
As darkness fell, the people had finished evacuating, and the Northern Rong people stormed into the city.
Using the terrain to their advantage, Lu's army trapped the Northern Rong people in the alleys of Liangzhou City, and they fought with bloodlust.
The Northern Rong people did not expect the Lu family army to be so resilient, and they hastily withdrew from the city.
Suddenly, deafening shouts of battle erupted outside, and someone shouted that reinforcements had arrived.
Everyone was overjoyed and collapsed to the ground, many weeping uncontrollably. We had finally received reinforcements!
Silence paused here, a flash of scarlet killing intent appearing in her eyes.
"The so-called reinforcements rode in on horseback and started slashing at the Lu family soldiers who were sitting on the ground, crying and laughing, and completely helpless. They killed them one by one."
Many people had no time to react before their heads were chopped off.
Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu realized what was happening and desperately shouted for everyone to get up and fight back.
But everyone was too tired and had no strength left, so it was simply a one-sided massacre.
Lu Jiajun was covered in wounds and could only watch helplessly as the executioner's blade fell.
Uncle Lu led a small group of lightly injured men to block them, allowing Aunt Lu to leave first with the young guards.
Aunt Lu led us backwards. There were too many pursuers, and they were getting closer and closer. My eldest brother tore off the prince's jade pendant and said that he would be responsible for drawing away the pursuers.
I told Aunt Lu to take me and the young master away first. Aunt Lu led us to hide and flee, and there was blood everywhere and mountains of corpses everywhere.
Just as we were about to leave the city, we were caught up with. Aunt Lu told me and the young master to run separately, saying that whether we survived or not depended on our fate.
I ran halfway and looked back, only to find that Aunt Lu... she had shielded those people with her own body, and in the end...
At this point, Mo Mo broke down in tears.
Chen Chu clutched her clothes tightly, her heart clenching in anguish.
Pei Yuan suddenly spoke, his voice dry and hoarse.
"After being stabbed several times and covered in blood, she cut the drawbridge across the moat and fell into the moat with the others."
Shen Chu suddenly turned her head and found Pei Yuan sitting there quietly, his face already covered in tears.
"You remembered?"
Pei Yuan clutched his chest and slowly shook his head.
"All I could see was blood everywhere, blood everywhere, and some fragmented images."
There were arrows, so many arrows shot at us, and my father and mother were covered in blood.
I don't want to see these things, I don't want to see these things... The night is so dark, I'm so cold.
Seeing that he was speaking incoherently, Shen Chu felt a pang of pain in her heart and stepped forward to hug Pei Yuan tightly.
She hugged him tightly, patted his back gently, and said softly, "Don't think about it anymore, and don't look at it anymore."
She finally understood why her brother Zhan couldn't see at night.
The scene I witnessed that night was too horrific; I saw my parents die tragically right before my eyes.
The grief, anger, and helplessness he felt made him wish that none of this had ever happened.
So he lost his memory and can't see anything at night.
Unlike the younger brother who lost his memory due to injury, he couldn't remember because he was in too much pain and couldn't face it.
The young man's words had awakened a part of his memories, which was why he was in so much pain.
"Brother Zhan, open your eyes, stop trying to remember."
Seeing Pei Yuan leaning against him with his eyes closed and cold sweat beading on his forehead, he realized that Pei Yuan was leaning against him with his eyes closed.
Shen Chu quickly shook his arm.
Pei Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with lingering pain and hatred.
“Achu, I remember now, I remember everything.”
The veins on his forehead throbbed slightly, and the veins on his tightly clenched fists bulged out.
"If I don't avenge this, I swear I will not be a human being."

"This is outrageous! Prince Rui is going too far!"
Marquis Zhou Qi of Anding was so angry when he saw his son Zhou Weizong's hands wrapped up like a dumpling that he kicked over a chair.
Zhou Weizong held his injured hand and cried.
"Father, I don't care. I can't swallow this insult. Shen Chu keeps calling his son a piece of trash, and he protects the Lu family army at every turn. He even let Prince Rui stab me."
What's even more infuriating is that traitor Changsheng. He's eaten our food for so many years, yet he's so ungrateful and actually helped Chenchu to deal with me.
He even kept claiming his name was Chenmo (Silent) and that he was Chen Chu's older brother. Pah!
Zhou Qi's expression changed drastically.
"What did you say? Silence? You said Changsheng is Chenchu's brother, Silence?"
"Yes, he told me himself. Dad, why do you look so pale?"
Zhou Qi's face was not only pale, but his heart was also filled with panic.
Silent is still alive. Although he was only seven years old when the incident happened, he was old enough to remember things.
If he were to reveal the truth about the massacre in Liangzhou back then, things would be in trouble.
Zhou Qi became increasingly panicked as he thought about it, and suddenly stood up and walked outside.
"Hey, Father, don't go! I haven't finished speaking. You must get rid of this Changsheng!"
Zhou Weizong shouted, but Zhou Qi's figure had already disappeared outside the door.
Zhou Qi went straight to the Prince Heng's residence and informed the Prince Heng of the matter.
"You mean the things from back then might be revealed by the silence?"
After hearing his concerns, Prince Heng frowned. "So many years have passed. He was just a child back then. What evidence could he possibly have?"
Uncle, aren't you being a little too pessimistic?
He was preoccupied with the fact that Luo Heng had been arrested, which meant he had lost a valuable source of income, and he didn't immediately grasp what Zhou Qi was talking about.
Zhou Qi's face turned pale.
“I’m not worried about him; I’m afraid that Prince Rui will use this incident to his advantage.”
If this matter comes to light, His Majesty certainly won't bear the blame for killing meritorious officials; I'll be the one to take the fall.
Prince Heng's expression changed; he finally realized the importance of the matter.
"Sixth Brother will definitely use this incident to his advantage. He just arrested Luo Heng and then seriously injured his cousin."
He's coming for me! This move is clearly aimed at severing my left and right arms.
The military power in the hands of the Marquis of Anding is of great importance to him, so at this moment, he must not let Pei Yuan hold onto the matter of Liangzhou.
"Uncle, things have come to this point, we have no choice but to take the initiative. I have an idea, we can do this..."
Prince Heng leaned close to Marquis Anding and whispered something in his ear.
Marquis Anding's eyes brightened slightly.
"This is a brilliant idea. If it works, Prince Rui will have no chance of turning the tables and will no longer be able to threaten you."
