As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.

Although their expressions were faint and they didn't show anything inappropriate, such an attitude was enough to make Yan Que suspicious.

Back then, the emperor once praised the Jiangnan officials and wealthy businessmen, and even many people here have gone from a small official to the current rank.

An official at the head of the banquet arched his hand and said, "The prince is serious, we all know the seriousness of the things back then, if Mobei is broken, the city gate will be opened, and the foreign countries will directly take my good rivers and mountains, and my lips will be cold and my teeth will die!" ”

"Although we are far away in the south of the Yangtze River, we also know this truth, and naturally we have to do our part, but it's a pity that back then, that battle killed and injured many soldiers, alas, it is also a tragic thing, don't mention it!"

Yan Que thought it was funny, they would even think about the life and death of the soldiers, which was really beyond his expectations for these officials.

But as for how much of their mouths are true and how much is false, it is up for debate.

After that, Yan Que didn't mention anything more about that year.

He knew that asking too many questions would inevitably make this matter suspicious, so he simply excused himself and said that he had also stayed in the barracks, so he was more interested in this matter, and hoped that next time he would lead his troops to go on the expedition, he would also encounter such a thing, and ask Jiangnan officials to bring Jiangnan wealthy businessmen to donate generously!

After a few rounds of wine, Yan Que left the restaurant with people.

As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, Yan Que's expression became cold.

"A bunch of old foxes!"

The dark guard also hesitated and said, "Looking at their attitude, I'm afraid this matter is not simple......

"Of course this king knows, that's why I have to find out!"

After Chu Luoci's death, he learned several times that General Chu loved this daughter very much when he was there, and presumably Chu Luoci also had deep feelings for General Chu.

Chu Luoci lost her life at such a young age, and General Chu's death must have been a big doubt in her heart.

How could he bear to let Chu Luoci die with obsession?

He's going to have to find out!

"Then the prince, we have decided to visit the descendants of those rich merchants today, but do we still want to go?"

Yan Que nodded: "Go, of course I have to go, this king wants to see what tricks these people are playing!" ”

After this incident happened back then, everyone was secretive, and Yan Que got the list of those rich businessmen several times, and it was not complete.

Some of them are now missing.

Only three of them contributed the most, and the Dark Guard had already found out where their descendants were.

One family has moved out of Jiangnan, and then moved one after another, not knowing where they ended up and whether their descendants are still alive;

The descendants of the other two are still in Jiangnan.

One of them has declined, and only one of them is left, who was admitted to Xiucai and teaches in a private school.

The other is to bring the family and move to a very remote suburb to live, it is said that the old lady of the family can't stand the hustle and bustle of the city and wants to go there to hide quietly.

As for the truth, we will only know if we ask.

Yan Que first took two secret guards and went to the house surnamed Li.

The private school where the youngest son was left to teach, happened to meet the children taking a break at noon, and Yan Que took someone to find someone in the backyard of the private school.

Li Ningsheng looks to be in his twenties, white and pure, coughing twice from time to time, as if he is suffering from some hidden illness in his body.

Yan Que concealed his identity and only said that he was the family of the soldiers left behind in the First World War in Mobei.

The soldier is dead, but before he dies, he must have asked himself to come to Jiangnan to thank Engong, so he specially came to Jiangnan to find Engong.

Li Ningsheng was very calm when he heard Yan Que's words.

He said lightly, "That son, you are late, it was my grandfather's decision to donate to Mobei back then, and my father handled it single-handedly, and my uncle assisted from the side, but all three of them had died of illness, and I was studying abroad at the time, and I didn't even catch up with the funeral when I came back, you don't have to thank me, I'm just an unfilial son." ”

Yan Que carefully observed his expression, and saw that he was really not lying, and glanced at the dark guard again.

The dark guard nodded slightly, indicating that what he said was true, and the young son of the family was indeed studying abroad at that time.

From this, Yan Que concluded that there should be nothing to ask here.

So he asked the little boy where his grandfather and uncle were buried, and he wanted to toast a glass of wine and burn some paper money.

The boy nodded, took a pen and paper and wrote them an address, and wrote the names of his grandfather, father, and uncle.

"It's on that piece, I go to take care of it every year, and there are a lot of people buried there, and you look at the three tombstones under a walnut tree on the top of the grave, and that's it."

Yan Que nodded and was about to leave, but at the end, he turned to the little boy and said, "Mourning is good." ”

The little boy didn't say anything, just nodded, and turned around again to go about his business.

But Yan Que saw a little loneliness from that back.

Out of the private school, the secret guard held the piece of paper written by Li Ningsheng in his hand, and wanted to receive it in his arms, but was stopped by Yan Que.

"Show the king where he is buried."

The dark guard was a little surprised, he thought that he had just asked for the address of the cemetery, and he just wanted to make a full set of plays, but he didn't expect ......

Yan Que saw the doubt in his expression and smiled faintly.

"It's not all for drama, I really want to have time to toast a glass of wine, and by the way, see how their descendants are doing now."

"This king is also from the military camp, so he naturally knows that these people are willing to lend a hand in danger, that is, they have saved the lives of countless soldiers, this king should go to their graves to toast a glass of wine, and when this matter is clarified, he will definitely go."

The dark guard nodded, a flash of admiration in his eyes, more moved.

With such a master, it is worth their lives, and if the master is affectionate and righteous, they will have no worries!

After the two left the private school, they prepared to go to the suburbs to see the descendants of the wealthy merchant surnamed Yang.

The dark guard learned that there was an old lady surnamed Yang alive, and the old lady should have experienced the events of the year, so she might know more about it.

Yan Que nodded, "It seems that the last hope can only be placed in this family surnamed Yang." ”

However, what people didn't expect was that on the way to Yanque and the secret guard, they encountered a sneak attack by a group of people.

This sneak attack was really too unexpected, and the other party was obviously from the rivers and lakes, all masked and dressed in black, and there were more than 20 people!

And Yan Que only probed the tone of the local officials today, thinking that the matter would not be discovered so quickly, so he only brought a secret guard!

At this time, twenty against two, even if the secret guard and Yan Que are both strong in martial arts, it is inevitable that they will be critical.

Soon, one of them found the flaw in Yanque, and stabbed at Yanque with a sword, and the angle was very tricky!

Yan Que was entangled and couldn't dodge, and the secret guard was also tripped by several people, and he couldn't be rescued.

Yan Que knew that this sword could no longer be dodged, so he could only grit his teeth and avoid the key point when the tip of the sword reached his eyes!

The tip of the sword sank into the left chest, less than an inch above the heart!

Seeing that Yan Que was injured, the secret guard completely broke out, and he dragged most of the assassins alone, shouting at Yan Que: "Hurry up!" ”

The dark guard also looks very badly injured, but there is no point in him staying here now!

I can only grit my teeth and leave with light skills!
