Chapter 52: Unfathomable
Subsequently, Shuyun came to the general with Wen Jin, in fact, this general is the same age as Li Xu, he has been following Li Xu in the past, he is Li Xu's deputy general, and he has grown up watching Shuyun since he was a child, so he has always been very close to Shuyun.
After the adjutant general saw Shuyun, he immediately said, "Young Master Shuyun, why do you have time to come and see me, are the monkey cubs in the military camp disobedient again?" ”
"No, Uncle Wang Meng, I came today mainly to ask you something, do you know that there was a person named Chen Shihua in our army before?" , Shuyun said respectfully.
"Chen Shihua... I've been in the army for many years, and I haven't heard of this person, so I don't know what the young master is asking about this person? General Wang Meng said suspiciously.
After hearing this, Wen Jin suddenly thought that Chen Shihua's original name was Chen Gui, but after he arrived in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he deliberately changed his name, and then Wen Jin directly interjected: "General, then do you know that there is a person named Chen Gui in the Qingning Army." ”
"Chen Gui... Of course I know him, after he just joined the Qingning Army, he was quickly appreciated by General Li Xu, and originally thought that he would become the target of key training in the army in the future, but just more than ten years ago, he suddenly resigned from all positions in the army, saying that he wanted to return to his hometown to marry a wife! ", General Wang Meng continued.
"In other words, he has become Uncle Li Xu's confidant more than ten years ago, so do you know what is so special about him and why he is favored by Uncle Li Xu?" , Wen Jin hurriedly asked.
General Wang Meng sneered suddenly, and then said: "Actually, in my opinion, this kid has nothing extraordinary, whether it is skills or strategy, he is very ordinary, and he was a spearhead boy at that time, I don't know why the general wants to reuse him, I only know that the general secretly sent him out on a lot of missions, and their affairs have never been known to outsiders, even I have no way of knowing." ”
"Well, thank you for telling the general, then do you know who else is in this Chen Gui's family, or in Bianjing, there are other people who are familiar with him." , Wen Jin then asked.
"I don't know this, when he enlisted in the army, it was recorded that his parents died early, and as for other relatives or friends, I don't know much!" , General Wang Meng replied.
"Okay, Wen Jin knows, thank you for telling the general!" , After speaking, he asked Jin and Shuyun to withdraw from the tent.
After walking out of the military tent, Shuyun looked uneasy, asked Jin as if he had something to say, and then asked, "What's wrong?" Brother Shuyun, you don't look right! ”
"The Chen Gui you just mentioned, I seem to have heard it when I was a child, when I was young, my father would sometimes secretly meet someone at home, and this person was called Chen Gui. The reason why I was so impressed with him was that I was playful and accidentally stumbled into my father's study, and my father was furious, and my father had never been so angry with me, and he seemed to be discussing things with him. Shuyun recalled.
After hearing this, Wen Jin instantly felt that this Chen Gui was not simple, he was Li Xu's confidant at a young age, and the matter of his conspiracy with Li Xu could not be known to outsiders, looking at many of Li Xu's secrets, only Chen Gui, that is, Chen Shihua, knew.
After Wen Jin walked out of the Qingning military camp, he came to the inn where Yunxi and Gao Yan were, and then told Gao Yan and Yunxi everything she had explored in the Qingning army.
After Gao Yan listened, he made a bold conjecture in his heart: "In this way, Li Xu does have a motive to kill, after all, Chen Shihua knows too many things about him, and in order to protect some of his unknown secrets, it is very likely that he will find someone to assassinate Chen Shihua." ”
Wen Jin agreed with Gao Yan's words, and then she analyzed: "I have also considered this possibility, but after thinking about it carefully, I always feel that Chen Shihua could not be Li Xu looking for someone to assassinate." Because when he inspected Chen Shihua's body before, he knew that he was killed by the Thirteen Swords of Shui Yun, if Li Xu wanted to kill Chen Shihua, he would never use the power of the Thirteen Swords of Shui Yun. ”
"Why, do you have such thoughts?" , Gao Yan then asked.
"Because Li Xu is not so stupid, my mother died at the hands of the Thirteen Swords of Shui Yun, if he still bought the Thirteen Swords of Shui Yun this time to assassinate Chen Shihua, then it is not the same as proving that he is the murderer of my mother?" , Wen Jin said unhurriedly.
"Well, I understand what you mean, Li Xuming knows that you went to Northern Qi to find out the truth, at this time, if Chen Shihua dies suddenly, it is actually very sensitive, and if you die at the hands of the Thirteen Swords of Shuiyun again, it will be even more sensitive, because it is easy to think that the mastermind behind the assassination of Chen Shihua and the assassination of your mother is actually the same person." , Gao Yan continued.
The two of them suddenly fell into thought, and then Gao Yan suddenly said: "Is there such a possibility, the murderer is deliberately provoking the relationship between you and Li Xu, because the murderer knows that you came to Northern Qi to find Chen Shihua and then understand the truth about your mother's death." So deliberately he used the Thirteen Swords of Shuiyun again and assassinated Chen Shihua, just to make you start to suspect Li Xu, and then deliberately create contradictions between you. ”
"Of course there is such a possibility, but there were not many people who knew that I was going to Northern Qi at that time, only Yun Shi, Li Xu and His Majesty, and it was impossible for the three of them to leak the news, so it was impossible for the murderer to know in advance that I was going to Northern Qi and the purpose of my going to Northern Qi." , Wen Jin immediately said.
Gao Yan immediately sneered, and then said: "At this time, no one of you can believe it, including me and Yunxi, of course, Chu Yunshi, and Liu Yishan, the good emperor of your Later Han!" ”
"You mean he's behind it? Impossible, he is also my father's sworn brother, and if he really wants to kill my mother, how can he use the power of the rivers and lakes! ", Wen Jin said slowly.
"How is it impossible, your father was the victorious general of the Later Han Dynasty, and the entire Zhenxiao Army only obeyed your father's orders, and now you are also the commander of the First Army, don't you know the truth that the merit is high, he is the Son of Heaven of the Later Han Dynasty, and he is naturally afraid of your father."
"Of course I know, even if he was jealous of my father, but my father was already dead in battle, and he was not so cruel that my father just died in battle, and then he killed my whole family, I find it hard to believe this." , Wen Jinyan said sharply.
Gao Yan sighed, and then said: "It is precisely because your father has just died in battle, so if he wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he must not be able to come forward in person, so he uses the power of the Jianghu killer, so that he can not only cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but also will not be suspected, let alone bear any infamy." ”
