He is now seriously injured and has lost contact with his men, so he can only place his hopes on Jiang Wanwan.
Actually, he didn't entirely want to use Jiang Wanwan.
As he just said, this matter has already involved her and her family, and all he can do is risk his life to protect her family.
The sooner they find eyewitnesses and get rid of Su Mu, the better it will be for both of them.
"Looking for eyewitnesses? What kind of eyewitnesses?" Jiang Wanwan asked.
"Find witnesses who saw Su Mu massacre the city!" Qi Zhao said through gritted teeth, his eyes cold.
Jiang Wanwan stared at him in shock, "Tu... Tu Cheng?"
"That's right, it was a massacre! Five years ago, Su Mu was stationed in Jiangyang City. Unexpectedly, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Xiongnu took advantage of Su Mu's relaxed vigilance and launched a fierce attack on Jiangyang City in the middle of the night."
Outnumbered, Su Mu's forces were no match for the enemy, so he quickly sent scouts to the neighboring city of Bianyang to request reinforcements.
At that time, the general stationed in Bianyang was my maternal uncle, the Duke of Dingguo. Upon receiving news that Jiangyang was in danger, the Duke of Dingguo personally led his troops to provide support.
I had planned to launch a pincer attack on the Xiongnu with Su Mu, but by the time my uncle arrived in Jiangyang City, the city gates had already been opened, and Su Mu had already escaped with his confidants through a secret passage.
The Xiongnu burned, killed, and looted inside the city, committing all sorts of atrocities. The city was littered with the corpses of its inhabitants, and rivers of blood flowed. Seeing this, my uncle led a force half the size of the Xiongnu to fight back fiercely. They fought the Xiongnu for a full day and night before finally defeating them all.
Just then, Su Mu, having received information from somewhere, returned through the secret passage. He was worried that His Majesty would find out about his abandonment of the city, so he tried to bribe my uncle with silver.
My uncle angrily denounced Su Mu's shameless behavior and was determined to report Su Mu's abandonment of the city and escape to the Emperor. This emboldened Su Mu, who ordered his trusted men to close the city gates and then commanded the execution of my uncle and all his men!
Moreover, to prevent the plot from being exposed, Su Mu ordered his trusted men to massacre the city, and no civilian in the city was spared.
My uncle had been fighting the enemy for a day and a night and was severely wounded, unable to escape. In order to expose Su Mu's evil deeds, he risked his life to allow several of his men to escape Jiangyang City!
Su Mu went all out and submitted a memorial to the emperor, distorting the truth and pinning the blame for abandoning the city on my uncle. Not only that, he also fabricated charges of treason.
Ultimately, this led to my uncle's entire family being exiled. My mother, overwhelmed with anger and grief over my uncle's death and the news of the downfall of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, suffered a relapse of her old illness and died a few days later, filled with resentment.
For the past few years, I've been secretly investigating what happened to my uncle back then. I've now collected a lot of evidence, but I'm still missing eyewitnesses to the massacre.
Over the years, Su Mu has also secretly sent people to find the eyewitnesses who escaped back then and silence them one by one.
Now, only one eyewitness remains from back then. We must find him before Su Mu tries to silence him!
Jiang Wanwan was shocked by Su Mu's ruthlessness. She never imagined that all his military achievements were obtained by stepping on the corpses of countless innocent people.
Such a ruthless person, once Su Mu finds out she had contact with Qi Zhao, he will definitely not let her and her family go.
The best solution right now is to cooperate with Qi Zhao, find eyewitnesses as soon as possible, and put Su Mu on the guillotine so that he and his family can survive!
