Guarding the Great Dry

Previous Chapter

Jiang Chen suspected that there was another mystery in this tomb, because Shen Xueying's mother always acted unexpectedly, and it was hard to guarantee that she would make some fuss about death.

Because of this possibility, Shen Xueying was also persuaded by Jiang Chen and wanted to confirm it with her own eyes.

The lonely tomb in the mountains was very crudely built, and it was relatively simple to dismantle from the outside, and it didn't take long for Jiang Chen to see the inside of the narrow tomb.

However, he did not see the coffin, nor did he see enough space for the coffin, and there seemed to be only one black object inside.

"No bodies!"

Jiang Chen's words made Shen Xueying tremble, and she stepped forward to confirm this fact, it turned out that there was really no dirty body of her mother here.

Why is that?

Why did she deliberately deceive her daughter?

Xiao Jirou lit a torch, and Jiang Chen looked inside by this bit of light, as if a black wooden box was placed inside, but neither the northern region of Daqian nor the Northern Yan people had the custom of cremation.

Therefore, there should not be any remains in this wooden box.

After Jiang Chen obtained Shen Xueying's consent, he carefully took out the wooden box, and now they were finally able to see the entire wooden box at a glance.

"Huh?"

"It's not wood, it seems to be some kind of metal texture that looks like iron and non-iron, which is not common."

Jiang Chen tapped it with his hand and judged that the material of this box was very unusual, and if he hit it with the back of the knife, he could still hear the sound of gold and iron.

Xiao Jirou said eagerly: "Open it and take a look." ”

"I want to know what's in there, too." Shen Xueying said.

The box was not locked, and as soon as Jiang Chen opened the lid on it, the eyes of the three people all focused on it.

"These are two pieces of gold leaf, and there seem to be words on them."

Jiang Chen first handed the gold leaf to Shen Xueying, but it was all Beiyan characters, so only Xiao Jirou could understand it among the three of them.

"Let's just ask the princess to read it out, we all want to know why my mother did this, and what she wants to leave behind."

Xiao Jirou looked at the gold leaf and began to read out the text in the gold leaf.

This is the truth about the facts recorded by Shen Xueying's mother, just as Jiang Chen and the others had deduced before, Shen Xueying's true identity is a descendant of the Northern Yan Imperial Family.

Her father was from a royal family named Xiao Guang;

And her mother is from a separate family, named Ouyang Suxin.

There was a secret affection between the two, and it was soon like glue, and it was difficult to separate, but the clan and the split family must not intermarry, which is a rule passed down from generation to generation by the Beiyan royal family, so as soon as their affairs came out, it directly triggered a fierce conflict between the sect family.

The people of the Zong family accused the family of splitting up, deliberately using beauty to bewitch and forbear, and wanted to cause chaos within the Zong family, and their hearts could be punished.

The split family felt that these people in the Zong family were always on top, and they were intimidating and insulting, which was unbearable.

Because of the two young people, the two royal bloodlines, which were already incompatible, began to fight more fiercely, causing thousands of casualties.

Sadly, however, there is no end to the fight, and even if one of them does win one day, the two young men are not destined to wait for a happy ending.

Finally in the bloody whirlpool, Xiao Guang died, Ouyang Su was disheartened, and fled from the royal capital with his infant child, and lived a life of exile.

And on the day she left the royal capital Yanyang, she also took away the founding artifact of Beiyan, the Yanyang Fire Phoenix.

Ouyang Suxin admitted that she was completely angry at stealing the Yanyang Fire Phoenix at that time, she wanted to make those royals pay the price, and there was nothing more painful for them than the loss of this artifact.

Later, Ouyang Suxin became a businessman who came to Beiyan to do business, that is, Shen Yinglong's father, which led to the fact that Ouyang Suxin took the child into the Shen family.

However, until all the words on the gold leaf were read, there was no mention of the whereabouts of the Burning Sun Fire Phoenix.

Xiao Jirou said helplessly: "That's all there is to it, but it restores the truth of those things back then, and there are no other clues." ”

Jiang Chen suddenly said excitedly to the two: "No. She couldn't have taken something so important with her anywhere else, and I don't believe it was just for these two pieces of gold leaf in this tomb. ”

"The Burning Sun Fire Phoenix is a sharp sword, how did Ouyang Suxin take it out of the heavily guarded Northern Yan Royal Capital back then?"

Shen Xueying and Xiao Jirou are both extremely smart women, and after Jiang Chen's little bit, their eyes fell on this box at the same time.

"I suspect that the Burning Sun Fire Phoenix has been dissolved and cast into this wooden box, which solves this problem."

Jiang Chen's analysis made Xiao Jirou excited, and she finally found the Burning Sun Fire Phoenix after a lot of hard work!

At night, Jiang Chen had just finished eating with Wu Yue, only to hear the sound of hurried footsteps not far away, and the two looked out the door, but they didn't expect that it was Wu Qingshan and Gu Jun, who had not seen each other for a long time.

"Aoyama? Brother Gu? How did you get together? Jiang Chen asked strangely.

Wu Qingshan told Jiang Chen that since he was injured by Yin Mufan, he gritted his teeth and chased all the way to the north, but because he was injured, he lost the other party's whereabouts halfway, and finally arrived in Liaocheng by mistake.

At that time, Liaocheng had just been recovered, but fortunately, Wu Qingshan knew Han Yuyang, who led the troops, and after the latter learned of the situation, he sent someone to inquire about Jiang Chen's whereabouts, and finally helped send Wu Qingshan to Wangchuan.

On the way, I bumped into Gu Jun, who had just arrived in the north, and the two of them happened to arrive here together.

Old friends and old friends reunited here, Jiang Chen and Wu Yue were very happy, and hurriedly asked people to prepare some more meals, and everyone sat together and talked about wine.

Gu Jun looked at the happy scene, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I think that at the beginning, the five of us left Shanguan Town together, and all kinds of changes happened during the period, and now only Wu's predecessor is missing. ”

Hearing these words is inevitably sad.

However, Wu Yue smiled and said, "My father must be very happy to see that everyone is safe and sound." ”

"That's it, our father is a big hero who stands up to the sky, and I Wu Qingshan don't know how proud I am!"

He paused when he said this, and then his expression suddenly became serious, "By the way, this time I mentioned to Han Shuai that I wanted to join the army, and he promised me." ”

"My father is a legend of the Qishan Iron Horseman, and I have to inherit his mantle!"

Jiang Chen raised his wine glass and said, "Okay, let's protect Daqian together, so that those jackals, tigers and leopards of Beiyan will never come back one by one!" ”
