Chapter 384 How to identify it?
As for what went wrong with the corpses of the two young generals of the Qi family, Yun Fu couldn't easily draw a conclusion for the time being.
Did they make a mistake when they were collecting the bodies from the battlefield?
It was replaced on the way back to Shengjing from the border.
Or maybe, it was replaced by someone between the time it was transported back to Shengjing and the time it was dug out.
They have no way of knowing now.
Yun Fu meant that they should wait until they returned to Guihuang Prison and ask Qi Xu and Aunt Liu again.
Qi Xu was meticulous and had a better memory than most people. If he had ever seen the scene of the Qi family's three sons and father being put into the coffin, he might be able to remember some things.
Qi Hanzhou also agreed to her proposal.
"We've been outside for too long. It's time to go back."
It has been quite some time since the two of them left the Guihuang Prison, and Qi Hanzhou often worries about the safety of his nephew and niece who were left in the Guihuang Prison by him.
Yun Fu also missed her little ones: "The little ones should have grown taller by the time we go back this time. Let's buy some clothes for them in the city on the way back."
Children of this age grow taller quickly, so their clothes become too small easily.
As Yun Fu was talking, she noticed that Qi Hanzhou hadn't responded. She turned her head and saw that someone was in a daze.
Curious about what he was thinking about?
So serious.
"What's wrong?"
"I suddenly remembered something." Qi Hanzhou pondered for a moment.
"Oh? What's going on?"
"Meng Kuo! Back then, he was on the battlefield with my father and brothers. He was my eldest brother's master. Perhaps he personally went to the battlefield and brought my eldest brother out from the pile of dead bodies."
If this body was collected on the battlefield, it would be a mistake.
Then can we get some information from Meng Kuo?
Yun Fu thought this matter was simple: "Then let's just go and ask him."
The two lived next door to Meng Kuo.
Open the door and walk a few steps to reach the Mengkuo Gate.
Meng Kuo really trusts them.
There wasn't even a guard at the door.
Boom boom boom——
Yun Fu raised her hand and knocked on the door. Soon, a grouchy voice rang out from inside the room: "Who is it? What's wrong? Can you let me sleep? It's always been annoying."
Yun Fu politely replied, "General, are you taking a rest? We have something we would like to discuss with you."
Inside the house, Meng Kuo recognized her voice and his attitude took a 180-degree turn. His voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement: "So it's you, kid! Come in."
If it weren't for his injured leg, he would have jumped out of bed and rushed over to meet him.
"You two boys, what do you want from me? Tell me, there's no need to be polite in front of me."
One is the son of an old friend, and the other is a boy he admires.
Meng Kuo's attitude naturally improved.
Yun Fu gave Qi Hanzhou a look.
Qi Hanzhou strode over and closed the two doors.
Yun Fu then asked her first question: "During the war between Dasheng and Daqi, the general was also on the battlefield, right?"
"That's right, why are you asking this?" The two people's questions surprised Meng Kuo a little.
"Nothing, we just want to ask about what happened on the battlefield. I wonder if you still remember how General Qi Chuan and the two young generals of the Qi family died on the battlefield. Afterwards, who went to the battlefield to retrieve their bones, and who was responsible for transporting their bones back to Shengjing."
Yun Fu asked all the questions in one breath.
If someone else asked, Meng Kuo might not answer.
But the person in front of me is Qi Hanzhou!
How could Meng Kuo refuse?
"Let me think about where I should start."
It had been so long since the incident, Meng Kuo didn't know where to start talking about it.
He thought about it for a moment before speaking, "As far as I know, General Qi Chuan, still recovering from an old injury and facing a shortage of food and fodder, gave away his own warm clothes and bedding to the young soldiers who were nearly freezing to death. He then caught a cold, yet he still managed to go to the battlefield to fight General Fatty from Daqi."
The result is predictable.
Even the most powerful wolf may not be able to defeat a wild dog if it is injured.
"After General Qi Chuan died on the battlefield, the two young generals were anxious to avenge their father. In the subsequent battle, they were tricked by the Daqi army's incompetent military advisor. In the end, they all died in battle."
Talking about what happened back then, Meng Kuo couldn't help but feel a surge of sadness in his heart.
"Daqi's military strength back then was actually greater than Dasheng's. If it weren't for the generals who risked their lives to defend Dasheng, Dasheng would have lost countless cities! In fact, if it weren't for the food shortage, perhaps these accidents wouldn't have happened at all."
Meng Kuo has been on the battlefield for so many years, and he sees the whole thing more clearly than ordinary people.
"I'm not trying to stir up hatred between you and the Emperor. It's just that every time I think of General Qi's soldiers who died on the battlefield, I wonder if they didn't have to die."
Do Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou need anyone to tell them how wicked the dog emperor is?
Fearing he might stray off topic, Yun Fu tried to steer the conversation back. "Who retrieved the remains of the two major generals from the Qi family from the battlefield? Were you present when the remains were recovered? Did you verify their identities with your own eyes?"
"Ah? I personally retrieved Yuanzhou's corpse! Qi's second son, the corpse of Linzhou was retrieved by another deputy general of the Qi family army at the time. Why? What do you mean by asking these questions? Is there anything wrong with the corpse?"
Meng Kuo heard something wrong from her words.
Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou looked at each other, a glimmer of hope in their eyes.
"When you retrieved my elder Qi Yuanzhou's body from the battlefield, were you sure it was him?" Qi Hanzhou asked anxiously.
You have to know that Meng Kuo is the eldest brother's master and has watched the eldest brother grow up. If it were him, he would definitely not ask the eldest brother to admit his mistake.
Meng Kuo also fell into reminiscence, muttering, "When I retrieved Yuanzhou's remains, his body was covered in wounds, his armor was stained with blood, and his face was a bloody mess. I couldn't even see his once handsome face."
After saying this, Meng Kuo added: "But he is wearing silver armor from Yuanzhou, and around his waist is the amulet that your mother prayed for him."
Qi Hanzhou was a little excited: "So, you judged his identity based on his armor and the amulet, rather than recognizing his identity by his face?"
Meng Kuo nodded and replied, "On the battlefield, even incomplete bodies are common. Therefore, in a situation like Yuanzhou's, we can only identify them by their clothing and accessories."
"What? It's Yuanzhou's corpse. Is there a problem?"
