The strange thing was that this time she could actually feel the owner of the hand in an instant, probably because... she had hugged him too much.
Only after she stood firmly did Huo Wuyou release his arms around her waist.
In the dim rockery at dawn, Xue Zhiyi's heartstrings, which had been tense all day, suddenly relaxed. Looking at Huo Wuyou's eyes, he felt at ease.
"It's done. Congratulations, Marquis Lin'an."
Although Huo Wuyou was smiling slightly, it did not show in his heart. His eyes were dim, as if he was hiding some emotions.
He said calmly, "The seal on that letter fragment helped me test Zhao Shen. Sure enough, the Zhao family is the traitor of the Northern Di in Dayong."
At this point, Xue Zhiyi could finally confirm that Shen Chiyan was falsely accused in his previous life.
"I always believed that with my father and brother's abilities, even if they fell into the Northern Di people's trap, they wouldn't be completely wiped out... At that time, I'm afraid no one could have imagined that Zhao Xu, who arrived with reinforcements, would bring the Huo family army not a chance of survival, but a dead end."
Huo Wuyou's expression seemed to be the same as usual, but his breathing was so heavy that it seemed to be forced out of his throat.

She only said, "In that battle, the Zhao family became heroes who were ordered to resist the Northern Di in times of crisis, while the two Generals Huo, who were framed and died in a foreign land, were almost punished, bringing disaster to the entire family."
Suddenly, her eyes fixed on Huo Wuyou's eyebrows: "Now that the real culprit has been identified, what is the Marquis of Lin'an's plan?"
Looking at her, Huo Wuyou's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if a crack appeared in his calm expression for a moment, letting the hatred and unwillingness, heartache and resentment in his heart all show between his eyebrows.
At the moment when his eyes turned red, he chuckled: "Of course I want revenge. Not only the entire Zhao family, but also Gu Shichong behind them, and the Beidi people who took action. I want them all to pay for the more than 70,000 lives, including my father, mother, and brother..."
Huo Wuyou was usually casual and frivolous, including his tone at this moment, which was habitually mixed with teasing. But the chill in his Ruifeng eyes made him look like a wild beast with its claws bared, making Xue Zhiyi believe for a moment that he could let his claws be stained with blood for the goal in his heart.
