Xiao Dachuan was filled with rage, and even after so many years, he was still extremely excited when he recalled it.

"Until the great war in southern Xinjiang that year, King Cheng, fearing death, prepared to abandon the people in the city. Your father had a fierce argument with King Cheng at that time, but still failed to persuade him.

In order to protect the people behind him, he stayed behind alone, and later took only a hundred personal soldiers out of the city to meet the enemy.

He was buying time for the people to evacuate, hoping that he would not have to survive.

But who would have thought that, in order to conceal the truth about his abandonment of the city, King Cheng would actually have the city gates closed, blocking your father's only escape route.

Finally, in order to prevent the hundred men from dying in vain, they worked together to send Lieutenant General Peng out, but he still could not escape death. He did not die at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of his own people.

He was accused of betraying military secrets, and by the time I got the news, he had already been executed."

As he spoke, Xiao Dachuan became even more sad and angry. He turned his head and stared at the wall, not wanting his weak side to be seen by Xiao Heng.

"Could it be that King Cheng just wanted to cover up the truth of his abandonment of the city? Could he force my father to die?" Xiao Heng couldn't help but shed tears in grief.

His father has always been a great hero in his heart, a great general. He was willing to die for the people, and he was willing to die, but this should not be the reason for King Cheng to kill him.

"He wasn't just trying to cover up the abandonment of the city. He was also trying to cover up the fact that he led his troops to rebel. Your father was the only person who knew about it. He hated your father for stopping him, but he also hated your father for having this leverage over him, hindering him in every way and making him afraid to act."

"You know everything that happened afterwards. King Cheng has already used you as my weak spot. If I'm careless, there will be countless Wang Mama."

"Do you know that I went to see Mother Wang?"

Xiao Heng asked doubtfully. This old fox could not hide anything from him.

"I knew it when you came last night. Besides, I've been taking care of Wang Ma for so many years. I got the news the moment you found out."

"Speaking of which, you little brat, how come you suddenly came to your senses and even knew to look for someone first?"

Xiao Dachuan felt a little disappointed with himself, as he still had the nerve to say that he was 24 years old and it took him so many years to realize that something was wrong.

"What else do you know about what King Cheng has done over the years?"

Since my grandfather has been preparing to overturn my father's verdict, it is impossible for him not to pay attention to King Cheng's movements.

Rather than figuring it out on your own, it’s faster to just ask.

"You're welcome, so why should I tell you?"

The old man was very unhappy with Xiao Heng's attitude. As soon as he arrived, he only questioned him without even a word of concern.

"It won't be long before King Cheng will launch a second rebellion."

"What? Where did you get the news?" Xiao Dachuan changed his previous joking tone and immediately became solemn.

"The news is true, but who else in the capital is King Cheng? I haven't checked them all yet."

Xiao Dachuan twitched his beard. "I arranged for Xu Zhi from the Imperial Guards to come here. He reported that Zhang Wei has been exchanging letters with the Northern Territory for the past year, and may have even secretly transported weapons to King Cheng."

"Zhang Wei? The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard? This King Cheng is truly skilled. He has infiltrated so deeply into the few troops guarding the Imperial City. I will thoroughly investigate this matter."

Xiao Heng stood up, straightened his clothes, and spoke to the sky as if swearing an oath.

"I will personally avenge those one hundred people and will never make the same mistake as my father again."

The father’s only mistake was that he was too soft-hearted and gave the evil people a chance. He will not make the same mistake again.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You shouldn't live here anymore, move back home."

After saying this, he felt that his words were a bit pretentious, shuddered, and strode away.

Then, a loud laugh came from behind him, making him walk faster.

After leaving the village, he rode at full speed towards the city.

First, arrange people to investigate the military equipment. There must be a traitor in the Arsenal, otherwise where did the weapons come from?

He then asked someone to monitor Zhang Wei's movements while he went into the palace to explain everything to His Majesty.

By the time everything was arranged, several days had passed. If you count carefully, there was only one day left before the annual examination.

Xiao Heng calculated the time to get out of school and came to the second floor opposite Mingyi Hall to sip his tea. From this position he could just see the students coming out.

Jiu Ning had just walked out of the school gate. She was greeting everyone and saying goodbye to them with a smile. The moment she turned her head, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. This scene was just captured by Xiao Heng.

Jiu Ning had just gotten into the carriage when he spat out a mouthful of blood, which was just seen by Xiao Heng who had lifted the curtain.

"What happened? Who hurt you?"

Xiao Heng couldn't suppress his anger. He had only been away for a few days. Who dared to be so bold?

"Lu Ji, go and invite Situ Jiuyue over. Uncle Li, go back to Duke Su's Mansion."

After giving the order, he took the person in his arms and tried to feel her pulse, but he was startled when he touched it, as the pulse was almost inaudible.

"Uncle Li, speed up." Xiao Heng roared worriedly.

Jiu Ning waved his hand: "Don't worry, I know my body best." Cough, cough, and then he couldn't help coughing again.

The carriage was moving very fast and soon arrived back at the mansion. Xiao Heng didn't care about other people's eyes at this time. He picked up the man and strode to his bedroom.

"Jiuning, what's wrong with you? Wake up."

Xiao Heng's voice was trembling slightly. In just half a minute, Jiu Ning had become dazed and unconscious.

He didn't know what to do, so he could only hold Jiuning's hand tightly and keep calling her name in her ear, as if she would disappear in the next moment.

"Master, Madam Situ is here."

At this time, a woman wearing a purple riding suit and a circle of braids on her head walked in carrying a medicine box on her back.

"Situ Jiuyue, come and take a look at her. What happened? She was fine before, why did she suddenly vomit blood?"

Situ Jiuyue looked at Xiao Heng curiously. He was usually a calm and composed person, but because of the woman on the bed, he became extremely flustered and couldn't help but become curious about the identity of the woman on the bed.

They just called her here casually. Doesn't she know that there are rules for her to treat patients?

He angrily pushed Xiao Heng away and sat down in front of the bed. The moment he placed his finger on her pulse, he was surprised. This woman might not survive.

He quietly looked up and glanced at Xiao Heng, not knowing how to say this.

"Say it!"

Xiao Heng didn't even raise his head, just staring at the woman in front of him.

He quietly looked up and took a quick look, then said reluctantly, "Xiao Heng, I'm afraid she won't live for two days."

After saying that, he turned his head to the side, unable to bear to look at Xiao Heng's expression, nor daring to look at the woman on the bed.

"How could it be, how could it be, she is obviously fine."
