Lonely grave
Xiao Jirou said, "I only heard the stories of these two people when I was a child, and the actual time when these things happened was much earlier than when I heard about them. ”
"Speaking of which, the dispute between the sect and the division of the clan caused by them coincides with the time when the Yanyang Fire Phoenix was lost!"
"Did you really say that?"
Jiang Chen was also surprised, now that he had learned from Shen Yinglong and Xiao Jirou what they knew, then he would have to ask Shen Xueying in person.
If she can also provide some valuable clues, maybe the truth of the whole thing can be pieced together.
In fact, Jiang Chen had many opportunities to ask Shen Xueying face-to-face, but he didn't expect that Shen Xueying's life experience would be involved in the whereabouts of the Northern Yan artifact Yanyang Fire Phoenix.
Fortunately, he felt that Shen Xueying's background must be very unusual at that time, so he asked a lot of valuable clues from Shen Yinglong's mouth, and now combined with the content recalled by Xiao Jirou, Shen Xueying has nothing to do with the Shen family in the north.
She should be the precious child born to the man and woman who committed the taboo of the royal family back then.
Although it is too rude and inappropriate to ask a girl's family directly about her background. But the truth of the matter is in front of him, Jiang Chen has to do this, even if Shen Xueying himself rejects it, he has to ask these questions.
It's a pity that the parties who experienced these things back then have nowhere to be found, Shen Yinglong's father passed away a few years ago, and Shen Xueying's mother is nowhere to be found, and the only clue that can continue to be traced in this matter is Shen Xueying.
Without further ado, in order to find out the truth as soon as possible, Jiang Chen decided to take Wu Yue and Xiao Jirou to Wangchuan City, where they would have a good chance to uncover the secret that Yanyang Huofeng had lost back then.
and the true whereabouts of this founding artifact that worries the people of Beiyan, and now!
In the meantime, with his outstanding performance in Nanling Mountain Road, as well as his exploits in Bei'an City to quell the chaos in Xuanyan Mansion, Chang Da will definitely be greatly praised by the imperial court.
Chang Da heard that Jiang Chen was leaving, so he immediately sent a carriage and horses to escort them all the way to Wangchuan City.
In the city, Jiang Chen also found Shen Xueying for the first time and explained the purpose of his trip.
"As you heard from the past, we now suspect that you have the blood of the Northern Yan royal family in you, and Shen Yinglong's father only sheltered you and your mother at that time to ensure that you have a firm foothold in the territory of Daqian."
"Looks like he's not your biological father."
Shen Xueying was silent for a while, and Jiang Chen suddenly brought the woman in front of her, who claimed to be the princess of Beiyan, to her and told her such shocking news.
How could she possibly accept reality right away?
"Wait a minute, Jiang Chen."
"Although I know you are anxious to know the truth, I was only an eight-year-old girl at the time, and there are many things that I simply cannot understand, and even if I have seen something, I have no way to tell you."
Jiang Chen understood Shen Xueying's mood, so he didn't rush to urge her to say something.
Xiao Jirou said: "Miss Shen, what we are most concerned about now is the whereabouts of the Burning Sun Fire Phoenix that caused the countless battles, if your mother hid her, then she should have told you something, right?" ”
"Or, where is your mother now, and can we find her?"
Shen Xueying is in a complicated mood now, she joined the Daqian Night Punishment Division, and she was dedicated to giving everything for the country, but now she told her that she was actually not a Daqian, but a Beiyan person?
She didn't know how to face it, and she couldn't think of anything in a mess.
The three of them fell silent, and Jiang Chen signaled Xiao Jirou not to put too much pressure on Shen Xueying, he believed that it was very close to the truth of the matter.
"Actually, I really can't give you any useful clues, and my mother hasn't told me at all, about my background and the identity of our Beiyan people, she may want me to completely cut off relations with Beiyan, so that I can be an ordinary person in Daqian with peace of mind."
"But I can tell you that my mother died a few years ago, when I was just joining the Night Execution Division, and was just an insignificant apprentice, and my mother brought me a letter before she died, telling me where she was hiding."
Jiang Chen asked, "Where is your mother's tomb, can you take us to see it?" ”
Shen Xueying said: "In an unknown mountain range in the east of Wangchuan City, I can take you there. ”
Since he was able to find Shen Xueying's mother's tomb, it was naturally worth visiting, but Jiang Chen had an excessive request in his heart, and it was difficult to tell Shen Xueying calmly.
Under the leadership of Shen Xueying, the three of them found the tomb without any success, if it weren't for someone to guide the way, Jiang Chen and the others would never have come here in their lives.
Looking at the lonely tomb in front of him, there was neither an inscription nor anything indicating the identity of the tomb owner, Jiang Chen could understand why he did this.
"Your mother doesn't want anyone to find out her whereabouts, and she should do this so as not to kill you."
"Just like when she suddenly left the Shen family and disappeared completely, you were also sent to Jinyang, the royal capital, because that is where Emperor Daqian lived, even if someone from Beiyan came to track the whereabouts of your mother and daughter, they would not dare to act rashly against you in the royal capital."
"If you think about these things carefully, you can get a reasonable explanation."
Jiang Chen stood in front of this tomb and almost wanted to ask Shen Xueying for it, but he still couldn't blurt out the words when they came to his lips.
On the contrary, Xiao Jirou saw Jiang Chen's thoughts, and said directly to Shen Xueying: "Miss Shen, I don't know if we can open this tomb and let us see the situation inside." ”
"What did you say?" Shen Xueying's face immediately showed anger.
Jiang Chen knew that it would anger Shen Xueying, so he didn't dare to make such a request, but Xiao Jirou didn't have much friendship with Shen Xueying, so when she said this, she didn't have so many worries.
"You've only been here for a long time since you received your mother's letter, haven't you? But can you really be sure that your mother is buried in the tomb? ”
"Is it possible that there is nothing in this tomb, or maybe it is just a well-dressed mound?"
Since everything has been said about this, Jiang Chen simply said the true thoughts in his heart, everything should be believing, and he needs to confirm what is in this tomb.
Shen Xueying hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed to this excessive request.
