Before meeting Fu Jingrui, Fu Hongxuan was not completely sure that Fu Jingrui was still alive.

Even Zhou Xuanli didn't notice anything wrong back then, let alone Fu Hongxuan, who was an illegitimate child with no power or influence.

The only information he could obtain and confirm was that his mother did not volunteer to be buried alive.

By the time Fu Hongxuan was able to break free from Zhou Xuanli's control and investigate, two years had passed.

Any clues or traces had been completely wiped out.

Fu Hongxuan has been investigating for many years without any results, and Fu Jingrui seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

No one knows how Fu Hongxuan has managed to persevere over the years.

Everyone agrees on something, but you are the only one who denies it like a madman.

Countless times when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Fu Hongxuan sat quietly in the dark looking at his mother's tablet and told himself over and over again.

If even you are shaken, who else in this world will seek justice for her?

While fighting on the battlefield and being stabbed several times, with his life in danger, Fu Hongxuan kept his eyes open and told himself that he must survive!

Live!

Find the truth!

Give her an explanation!

Fu Hongxuan didn't believe that Fu Jingrui would run to the deep mountains and forests alone without contacting anyone.

Without any clues, Fu Hongxuan checked Fu Jingrui's former subordinates one by one, although he didn't find any clues in the end.

But at least we can rule out some erroneous information that is not on the generals' side.

Then Fu Hongxuan will investigate the civil servants.

The first to bear the brunt is the Yun family!

If he really tried to cover up Fu Jingrui's whereabouts, it would make sense that Fu Hongxuan had no clues after so many years of investigation.

The Yun family has abundant assets, and even the Yun family members themselves probably don’t know how many fertile fields and houses they have.

If the Yun family's side branches are included, the number will be even more outrageous.

It would be very easy for the Yun family to hide someone in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Thanks to Fu Jingrui, the younger generation of the Yun family dislikes the Fu family, especially Fu Hongxuan.

The only way for Fu Hongxuan to infiltrate the Yun family and investigate internally is through marriage.

But I don’t know if it’s because the investigation into Fu Jingrui in recent years was too extensive, which made Zhou Xuanli notice something.

He mistakenly thought that Fu Hongxuan was still brooding over his father's death. If Yun Li'er married Fu Hongxuan and the relationship between the Fu and Yun families was restored, wouldn't his years of planning be back to square one?

Yun Li'er was taken into the harem by Zhou Xuanli first.

Fu Hongxuan was also sent to guard the border, and the gears of fate began to turn from then on.

Help Yao Chuguang rescue An Tian and prepare for the night before going to Yan State.

Yao Chuguang climbed through the window and sneaked into the room. Fu Hongxuan thought she was an assassin.

He kicked Yao Chuguang to the ground with a sweeping kick, then drew out his sword and attacked with the finishing blow.

In the end, the tip of the sword was about to kill Yao Chuguang, but Fu Hongxuan realized something was wrong when he saw the assassin lying motionless on the ground after being kicked.

Whenever you practice martial arts, even if you are kicked down by someone without warning, your body will subconsciously turn over and stand up quickly.

After being kicked down by Fu Hongxuan, this man became motionless. This reaction did not seem like that of a martial artist. How could an assassin not know martial arts?

Yao Chuguang lay on the ground and said weakly, "It's me, come and help me!"

Fu Hongxuan sheathed his sword, turned around, and said stiffly, "There's a difference between men and women. It's unreasonable!"

Yao Chuguang turned his head quickly and said, "Helping me makes a difference between men and women, but when you kick me, I'm no longer a woman?"

Fu Hongxuan wanted to say that it was impossible to generalize, but it was indeed wrong for him to hit someone first.

Yao Chuguang held his waist and turned over carefully. Finally, he was lying on the ground instead of lying on his stomach.

She was puzzled as to why others who broke into a boudoir at night would fall down, hug, spin in circles, and lift people up high.

Various love bubbles are flying all over the sky, romantic and ambiguous.

When he got to her, he was kicked to the ground, and then... he was gone?!

Yao Chuguang stretched out a hand and said, "Help me lie down on the bed for a while. Don't mind touching me more than once."

The ground was so hard that her bones were almost falling apart.

Fu Hongxuan was so frightened that he blurted out, "No, if someone sees this, it will damage your reputation."

Yao Chuguang immediately offered a solution: "That's easy. Whoever sees you can just kill them. The dead won't leak secrets."

Fu Hongxuan gave up arguing with Yao Chuguang and resigned himself to his fate, helping the man up from the ground.

Now that the topic had come to murder to silence witnesses, Fu Hongxuan didn't dare let Yao Chuguang continue.

Of course, Fu Hongxuan didn't help Yao Chuguang to the bed, but just put her on a chair.

Yao Chuguang curled his lips in dissatisfaction, held his waist and said nothing.

Fu Hongxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to Yao Chuguang, saying, "This medicinal wine is very effective for bruises and injuries. Rub it on yourself when you go back later."

Yao Chuguang didn't refuse and continued, "There's something I was planning to do after I went back to investigate and then write to you, but after spending time with you these days, I think it wouldn't hurt to tell you in advance."

Yao Chuguang coughed lightly and said, "Actually, General Fu's battle back then had something to do with me..."

Only then did Fu Hongxuan realize that it was Yao Chuguang who led the barbarians into the battle that year.

From Yao Chuguang's perspective, there is nothing wrong with what she did. She was just doing her job and serving her master.

If he were in Yao Chuguang's position, he would make the same choice.

Until Yao Chuguang told him that although a plan was set up to lure the barbarians to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

However, the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Great Qi Dynasty had been neighbors for many years and had always lived in peace.

If the Western Zhou Dynasty really suffered a great loss at the hands of the barbarians, and the barbarians gained the benefits and grew stronger, this was not the situation Yao Chuguang had envisioned.

So before the barbarians attacked, Yao Chuguang sent someone to inform the Western Zhou Dynasty first.

Generally, there is not much disparity in military strength, and the defenders have much greater advantages than the attackers in a siege.

What's more, if we knew about it in advance, we could have sent troops to ambush or reinforce them without losing.

But unexpectedly, the Western Zhou Dynasty was defeated in the end. When the news came back, Yao Chuguang's first reaction was that the news was delivered too late?

Or was there a spy in the Western Zhou Dynasty?

After all, this was a matter of the Western Zhou Dynasty. After the barbarians were lured there, it didn't matter who won or lost to the State of Qi.

What's more, it was indeed a dishonest act by Qi State. Even if Western Zhou won, it could still say that it was the one who tipped off the matter.

But since the Western Zhou Dynasty lost, it could only keep the news secret. If the Western Zhou Dynasty knew that Qi was involved, it would definitely bear a grudge against Qi.

Fu Hongxuan looked at Yao Chuguang and suddenly asked, "You didn't tell me before because you were afraid that I would avenge my father in a rage and bury you."

Yao Chuguang silently gasped inwardly. How could someone react so quickly?!

There's really no need to investigate this matter; she planned it all from beginning to end.

The reason why he said he would go back and tell Fu Hongxuan was because he was afraid that he would kill him in anger.

But after spending some time together, Yao Chuguang felt that this person clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment and would not easily vent his anger on others.

Although she could barely be considered one of the culprits...

Yao Chuguang smiled calmly and said, "How could that be? Master Fu is overthinking it!"

Fu Hongxuan silently withdrew his gaze and was silent for a while: "If...if Fu Jingrui was faking his death, why can't I find any trace of him in all these years?"

Although Fu Hongxuan's story was incoherent, it made sense considering that she had clearly sent someone to inform Fu Jingrui, but still suffered a disastrous defeat.

It is easy to understand what Fu Hongxuan meant.

Simply put, we can rule out the possibility that Fu Jingrui is a useless general who has no ability to lead troops in battle.

There are basically two possibilities for the defeat of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The first is that a spy appeared and someone intercepted the message at a critical moment and lured Fu Jingrui over, where he was besieged and killed by the barbarians.

The second possibility is that Fu Jingrui knew about the barbarian attack, but he chose to take advantage of the situation and fake his death to escape.

Although Yao Chuguang didn't know why Fu Jingrui faked his death, Fu Hongxuan said that he had been investigating for so many years and had not found any trace, which was very suspicious in itself.

Yao Chuguang blinked and concluded, "If you are sure that Fu Jingrui is not dead, and you can't find any trace of him, there is only one possibility, that is, someone around you tipped off Fu Jingrui, and this person must be one of the people you trust the most."

Fu Hongxuan's breathing stagnated, and his slender hands clenched in his sleeves.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the house, followed by a knock on the door and Li Yi's voice: "Master, are you up?"

Yao Chuguang immediately looked up at Fu Hongxuan, who was still in a daze, and asked, "Should I go hide?"

Fu Hongxuan: "Why are you hiding?"

After saying this, Fu Hongxuan realized that it was indeed a bit inappropriate. It was only the morning hour and it was still dark outside, and they were two alone in a room.

It's hard not to think crookedly when being seen.

Fu Hongxuan just stood up and was about to help Yao Chuguang up.

Li Yi pushed the door open and walked in carrying a washbasin and toiletries.

Then I saw this strange scene in front of me.

Why is it weird? It was originally an imaginative scene for Yao Chuguang to appear in Fu Hongxuan's room early in the morning.

But when he saw Yao Chuguang, she was hunched over like a seventy-year-old lady, with one hand behind her back supporting her waist, and the other hand was supported by Fu Hongxuan.

It seems... Li Yi racked his brains for a long time before finding a very appropriate description.

It looks like an elderly ancestor of a wealthy family, holding his waist and being supported by a maid as he walks.

Li Yi blurted out, "Why are you here?"

For some reason, Yao Chuguang suddenly felt like he was caught cheating, and subconsciously started to make up a story: "I saw that your general was leaving today, so I came here to climb into bed, and ended up getting beaten up..."

If it weren't for her waist that prevented her from covering her face and escaping the scene, Yao Chuguang would have run away long ago.

Fu Hongxuan, who was standing next to him, could only remain silent and could not say a word.

Li Yi subconsciously replied, "Serves you right!"

He had no doubt that this crazy woman would do such a shocking thing.

This is something she can do.

Unable to escape immediately, Yao Chuguang could only feign composure and laughed awkwardly, "Haha, I was just joking. I'm here to give General Fu a farewell gift."

Li Yi looked at Yao Chuguang with empty hands. He didn't say anything but his eyes expressed his meaning. What about the gift?

Yao Chuguang held his waist as he walked out and said, "General Fu, you can tell from your appearance that he comes from a wealthy family. Ordinary things are not worth your attention."

When he reached the door, he turned around and looked at Fu Hongxuan, winked playfully and said, "Let me give you a great idea!"
