Xiao Haoqing could see at a glance what he was thinking, "My parents' revenge has not been avenged, and my father's 100,000 unjustly killed Red Armor Army has not been rehabilitated, how can I die." Today, I will escort you to the emperor to avenge my father and mother and the 100,000 Red Armor Army, and then use your head to pay tribute to the 100,000 Red Armor Army who died unjustly. ”

"What kind of unjust death, your father obviously united with foreign tribes to rebel, but he was deceived by others, fell for a trick, and was destroyed by the Tangut people."

When Xiao Pingyuan heard this, he immediately scolded angrily, "Fart, to this day, you still dare to talk nonsense here, open your dog's eyes to see who I am." ”

Xiao Pingyuan raised his hand and tore off the human skin mask on his face.

Seeing this familiar and unfamiliar face, Ning Guogong was taken aback, "You...... You turned out to be Wen Jilin?! Aren't you dead?! ”

Xiao Pingyuan sneered, "If I die, how can I uncover your true colors and avenge your eldest brother and sister-in-law and the 100,000 Red Armor Army?" ”

If Ning Guogong was shocked to see his dead nephew standing in front of him, and when he saw that Wen Jilin, the dead prince of Dingyuan, was still alive, he only had despair left in his heart.

He knew he was really done this time.

I can't hide what I did back then.

It all started eighteen years ago.

Today's Ning Guogong was only the second young master of the Ningguo Mansion back then.

Song Chenglin also has an elder brother, who is the eldest son of the old Duke of Ningguo, the son of the Duke of Ningguo, Song Yuanxun.

Song Yuanxun has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child, not only with amazing literary talent, but also with excellent talent in martial arts. The eldest son was outstanding, and Lao Ning Guogong was pleasantly surprised, so he decided to teach him all his skills.

Under the careful teaching of Lao Ning Guogong, Song Yuanxun became a powerful general, and at a young age he cultivated 100,000 red armor troops that terrified the enemy.

And Xiao Pingyuan is actually Wen Jilin, the son of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion, originally he was just a gentleman, but later he was impressed by Song Yuanxun's achievements, so he decided to follow him. After passing five levels and killing six generals, he entered the Red Armor Army, worked hard from the bottom, and later became a deputy general of the Red Armor Army, and he was Song Yuanxun's right-hand man.

Originally, both of them had an infinite future.

But no one expected that the invincible Red Armor Army founded by Song Yuanxun would be easily wiped out by the Western Xia army in a major battle with the Western Xia.

When the emperor heard the bad news, he was devastated, and later ordered someone to investigate thoroughly, and found that Song Yuanxun originally had the intention of rebellion, and originally wanted to unite with Western Xia to take away the throne of the Yuankang Dynasty.

Who knew that he fell for the tricks of the Tangut people, but was destroyed by the Tangut people.

Since then, no one in the court has ever mentioned Song Yuanxun and the 100,000 Red Armor Army.

Old Ning Guogong did not believe that his son who had been cultivated by his own hands would rebel, and he wanted to investigate the truth with grief, but before he could find out the results, he fell off his horse. Not only did I break my leg, but I also broke my head.

When the queen learned about it, she persuaded the old duke to pass the title to Song Chenglin.

Not long after, Lao Guogong died. Later, Song Yuanxun's wife took the one-year-old Song Jingxiu to the temple to burn incense, but accidentally fell off the cliff and was gnawed beyond recognition by the beast.

Since then, not only has the world not mentioned Song Yuanxun and the 100,000 Red Armor Army, but even everyone in the Ningguo Mansion has wiped out Song Yuanxun's family.

In order to make people forget the existence of Song Yuanxun, Song Chenglin became the eldest young master from the second young master of the Ningguo Mansion.

No one knew that although Song Yuanxun's wife died, her son did not die, but was rescued by Wen Jilin, who secretly returned to Beijing.

Wen Jilin, the deputy general of the Red Armor Army, also went to the battlefield with Song Yuanxun that year.

In the battle with Western Xia, in fact, he did not die at all.

In that year, the Red Armor Army was sent by the emperor to destroy the Western Xia, and the household department allocated a large amount of grain and grass. However, the military rations in Song Yuanxun's hands were not only one-tenth, but also mixed with a lot of sand.

The 100,000 Red Armor Army not only did not have enough to eat, but also had no weapons to replenish, and they also had to fight with the Tangut people with hunger.

Song Yuanxun didn't know what was going on, so he sent more than a dozen letters to the emperor urging him to ask for grain and grass, but when the letters were sent, they were like mud cows entering the sea, and there was no news.

couldn't wait for grain and grass, and in desperation, Song Yuanxun had no choice but to send Wen Jilin to other state capitals to raise grain and grass.

After Wen Jilin set off with his subordinates, the grain and grass had not been raised, but bad news came, Song Yuanxun and the 100,000 Red Armor Army were wiped out by the Western Xia army, and no one survived.

After hearing the news, Wen Jilin didn't care about raising grain and grass anymore, and rushed back with his subordinates.

He didn't want to believe that such a powerful Song Yuanxun would die tragically, but when he returned, all his familiar comrades in the past had become corpses.

Song Yuanxun is no exception.

Wen Jilin could never have imagined that Song Yuanxun, who led 100,000 Red Armor troops, could be so easily defeated by the Western Xia people with only 60,000 troops.

However, what he didn't expect was that Wen Jilin actually heard rumors that Song Yuanxun had a rebellion and wanted to unite with the Western Xia people to attack and return to Beijing to seize the throne.

Unexpectedly, he fell for the tricks of the Tangut people, but was destroyed by the Tangut people.

Hearing this rumor, Wen Jilin was both sad and angry.

He knew that Song Yuanxun hated the Western Xia people to the core, and he didn't have any intention of rebelling at all.

But Wen Jilin knew that it was useless, because the first emperor sent someone to investigate, and the evidence pointed directly to Song Yuanxun's rebellion, and the 100,000 Red Armor Army became notorious street rats.

Wen Jilin wanted to return to Beijing to avenge his grievances, but as soon as he mentioned the Red Armor Army to others, he was scolded so much that he was scolded.

In desperation, he could only change his appearance and secretly return to Beijing.

However, after returning to Beijing, he secretly inquired that the emperor had a letter from Song Yuanxun who had rebelled.

Wen Jilin was desperate to find that with him and the hundreds of remaining manpower, it was impossible to rehabilitate Song Yuanxun and the 100,000 Red Armor Army, because he had no evidence in his hands.

Wen Jilin wanted to go to Lao Ning Guogong to find a way, but he heard that he fell off the horse and not only broke his leg, but also injured his head. Wen Jilin's intuition is not simple. Otherwise, with the martial arts of Lao Ning Guogong, how could he fall off the horse and die of serious injuries.

After hearing that Lao Ningguo passed the title to the second young master Song Chenglin before his death, he scolded his eldest brother in front of the emperor. He also told the emperor that in order to help his brother atone for his crimes, he applied to lead the army to attack the Tanguts.

I don't know what the first emperor thought back then, and he actually agreed to Song Chenglin's request.

Wen Jilin couldn't believe this, he didn't believe that Song Yuanxun would rebel, as Song Yuanxun's second brother and Song Chenglin, who had always had a very good relationship with him, actually believed that his eldest brother would rebel.

Wen Jilin had too many things he couldn't understand, and he wanted to talk to Song Yuanxun's wife.

When he found out that Song Yuanxun's wife was going to the temple to burn incense, he quietly looked for it.

However, when he looked for it, he found that Song Yuanxun's wife was riding in a carriage that had an accident and fell off the cliff.

Wen Jilin went off the cliff, and Song Yuanxun's wife only had her last breath left, and she was overjoyed to see him appear. After taking his last breath, he entrusted the child in his arms to Wen Jilin, and swallowed his last breath.

Although Wen Jilin didn't know why the carriage that Song Yuanxun's wife was riding in had an accident, and the coachman who drove her was nowhere to be found.

Thinking of everything that happened, Wen Jilin smelled the smell of conspiracy.

After thinking about it, Wen Jilin knew that he had no evidence in his hands, and if he stayed in Beijing, he would not be able to rehabilitate Song Yuanxun and the Red Armor Army at all, and he might even put himself and the few hundred remaining subordinates into it.

In desperation, Wen Jilin asked people to find the corpse of a child, and after destroying his true face, he disguised himself as the dead Wen Jingxiu.

Then he took the remaining hundreds of people, as well as Wen Jingxiu, who was only slightly injured, back to the border pass, and after changing his appearance, he re-entered the army under the alias Xiao Pingyuan, in order to find evidence of the defeat of the Red Armor Army.

The reason why Wen Jilin changed his name to Xiao Pingyuan is because Pingyuan is homophonic with Pingyuan, and he intends to remind himself that no matter what difficulties he encounters, he must not forget to redress the grievances of Song Yuanxun and the 100,000 Red Armor Army.

The reason why Xiao Pingyuan returned to Beijing from the border pass to take up his post was to further investigate the truth of the year.

Later, he entered the household department, and after a secret investigation, Xiao Pingyuan found that the grain and grass allocated by the household department to the Red Armor Army was the responsibility of Zou Changyuan, the left attendant of the household department, and the amount of grain and grass did not match the accounts reported by the household department to the emperor at all.

Not only is the amount only one-tenth, but the grain and grass that was delivered to Song Yuanxun are mixed with a lot of sand. And those weapons that were issued to the Red Armor Army, on the surface, looked sharp, but in fact they were vulnerable.

After a lot of secret investigations, Xiao Pingyuan found that behind these weapons was the shadow of Song Chenglin, the Duke of Ningguo.

Not only that, Xiao Pingyuan also found that the so-called letter of Song Yuanxun's rebellion against the Western Xia people sent by the emperor was also forged by Song Chenglin.

It's just that before Xiao Pingyuan could expose Song Chenglin's true face, he took the first step to launch the palace press.

After listening to Xiao Pingyuan's words, Song Chenglin knew that he had only a dead end, and simply admitted what he had done.

Song Chenglin has an extremely outstanding brother-in-law, and he is a concubine, no matter how hard he works, no one else can see his dedication, and the world can only see Song Yuanxun in the eyes of the world.

Originally, he and Zhuang Jinse fell in love, but Zhuang Jinse's parents didn't look down on his identity and forced him to enter the palace. The sad and angry Song Chenglin knew that if he wanted to regain his woman, he could only ascend to that supreme position.

So, he decided to replace his brother, bribed a deputy general beside Song Yuanxun, secretly drugged the 100,000 Red Armor Army, and then leaked Song Yuanxun's battle plan to the Western Xia people, so that the 100,000 Red Armor Army was defeated, and he was also charged with collaborating with the enemy and plotting rebellion.

Lao Ningguo wanted to investigate the matter, afraid that he would find out the truth, so he ruthlessly attacked his father. Even the carriage in which Song Yuanxun's wife was riding was secretly sent by him in order to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

I thought that no one would ever know about what I had done, but who knew that Wen Jilin did not die at all, and rescued Song Jingxiu, returned to Beijing under the pseudonym Xiao Pingyuan, and secretly found out the truth of that year.

Seeing that Ning Guogong confessed what happened back then, Xiao Pingyuan asked people to write a confession, draw a confession, and then escort him into the palace with Xiao Haoqing.

The emperor had Ning Guogong imprisoned, and after interrogation, Song Yuanxun and 100,000 Red Armor troops were rehabilitated.

And Ning Guogong was beheaded to pay tribute to the unjustly killed Song Yuanxun and the souls of 100,000 Red Armor soldiers.
