After speaking, Cui Jinrong took out the letters and jade pendant from his pocket and presented them to Meng Zhuo with both hands.

Meng Zhuo took the jade pendant with trembling hands, examined it carefully, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

“That’s right, this is the jade pendant your grandfather gave you.” He slowly squatted down, helped Cui Jinrong up, hugged him tightly, and sobbed uncontrollably: “Rong’er, you’re still alive, that’s wonderful!”

Tomorrow I will take you to your grandfather's and father's graves and tell them the good news. They will surely be pleased if they are watching from heaven!

Cui Jinrong couldn't help but burst into tears. At that moment, all her grievances, pain, and longing turned into tears and flowed freely.

Lanxiang watched this scene with joy for Meng Zhuo and his family, and was also touched by the deep affection between the uncle and nephew, her eyes reddening.

Meng Zhuo wiped away his tears, calmed himself down, and said, "Rong'er, thanks to you for finding this evidence, otherwise I would never have known that it was that beast Meng Qi who betrayed us until I died."

After the incident, he pretended to go to the authorities to report the news, and then never returned. I thought he had met with misfortune, but I never expected that he had used the opportunity to escape!

Cui Jinrong comforted him, saying, "Second Uncle, don't worry. As long as that scoundrel Meng Qi is still alive, I will search every inch of Chiyan and find him to make him pay for the lives of all the dead Meng family soldiers!"

"But Rong'er, we have no one to rely on right now. How easy is it to find him!" Meng Zhuo sighed.

Upon hearing this, Cui Jinrong remained silent.

After a long while, he spoke again: "Second Uncle, I want to rebuild the Meng Family Army."

Meng Zhuo was slightly taken aback when he heard Cui Jinrong's words. A complex look flashed in his eyes, a mixture of surprise, relief, and worry.

He said slowly, “Rong’er, your determination truly makes your second uncle proud. Back then, the Meng family army was wronged, and a few brothers fought to the death to break through the encirclement. These survivors all settled down with me in Longhu Village, opposite Xiaoyao Village.”

Over the years, they have never forgotten the injustice done to the Meng family, and have always hoped for a day of revenge. If they could be gathered together, the foundation for rebuilding the Meng family army would be laid.

Upon hearing this, Cui Jinrong's eyes lit up with hope, and he said urgently, "Second Uncle, what are we waiting for? Let's hurry to Dragon Tiger Stronghold and discuss this matter with them!"

Shen Man nodded in agreement, "Uncle Meng, we shouldn't delay. I'll go with you too; maybe I can be of some help."

Although Lanxiang was filled with worry, seeing the determined looks in everyone's eyes, she could only tell them, "Go and come back quickly. I'll prepare a meal at home and wait for you to come back so we can eat together."

So, the three of them quickly packed up and headed towards Dragon Tiger Village.

Along the way, Cui Jinrong became increasingly excited. He imagined meeting the soldiers who had fought and bled for the Meng family, and his belief in revenge became even stronger.

When passing by Shen Man's jujube orchard, Shen Man saw that the jujube trees were full of small ruby-like dates. She picked one, put it in her mouth, and took a bite. The sweetness went straight to her heart.

She painstakingly planted this large jujube tree grove in her quest to become wealthy, but now that the fruit is ripe, she has no time to harvest it.

Upon arriving at Longhu Village, everyone in the village immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Meng Zhuo.

Their gazes fell upon Cui Jinrong, filled with curiosity about this unfamiliar young man.

"Call all the brothers over, I have something to tell you!" Meng Zhuo ordered, then walked towards his room.

After the three of them sat down in Meng Zhuo's living room, the rest of the people arrived one after another.

After everyone was seated in the hall, Meng Zhuo slowly stood up, his expression solemn, and his gaze swept over every soldier present.

He took a deep breath and said in a low but powerful voice, "Brothers, today I want to introduce you to an important person. He is my elder brother's son, my nephew—Meng Zirong!"

At this point, a flash of pain and anger crossed Meng Zhuo's eyes. He paused briefly to compose himself before continuing, "Back then, the Duke of Xingguo, for his own selfish desires, colluded with Meng Qi, the deputy general of our Meng family army. They plotted against us on the battlefield, deliberately framing us and causing the Meng family army to be almost completely wiped out."

Not only that, afterwards, the Duke of Xingguo was ruthless, using fabricated charges to have my entire Meng family executed, and countless relatives and innocent soldiers suffered a brutal fate.

Meng Zhuo's voice trembled slightly, his eyes filled with grief and indignation: "At that time, Zi Rong was just a one-year-old baby. For reasons unknown, the Duke of Xingguo secretly took Zi Rong back to his mansion to raise him, but claimed to the outside world that he was his own son."

For over twenty years, he had trained Zirong into a killing machine, turning him into a bloodthirsty executioner without his knowledge!

These words caused an uproar, and the soldiers stood up one after another, their eyes once again focusing on Cui Jinrong.

Their eyes held shock, joy, and a deep longing for the past.

Cui Jinrong stood up, bowed deeply to everyone, and said in a loud voice, "Uncles and elders, Zirong has been deceived by villains for many years, but now he finally knows his true identity and has found his relatives."

I am determined to rebuild the Meng family army, avenge the entire Meng family, and seek justice for all the fallen members of the Meng family army. I hope everyone can lend me a hand!

An old general stepped forward, grasped Cui Jinrong's hand tightly, and burst into tears: "Young Master, we've been waiting for you to come back! Over the years, we've been thinking about revenge every single day in Dragon Tiger Stronghold. Just give us your order, and we'll go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Other soldiers also responded, and in an instant, the hall was filled with excitement, and the flames of revenge burned fiercely.

Watching this scene, Shen Man was filled with emotion. She stood up and said, "Uncles and elders, since you are so determined, as the city lord of Biancheng Prefecture, I am willing to provide financial and material support for the reconstruction of the Meng family army. Let us join hands and we will surely make the villains receive the punishment they deserve!"

Everyone cast grateful glances at Shen Man.

Afterwards, everyone began to discuss the specifics of rebuilding the Meng family army, and every detail, from personnel organization and training plans to material preparation, was discussed in depth.

By the time everything was discussed and resolved, it was already dusk.

Remembering that her mother was still waiting for them to eat at home, Shen Man and the other two hurried home.

When Shen Man and the other two returned home, Li Muyun had already returned from the weaving workshop.

Cui Jinrong was quite surprised to see Li Muyun. He had grown up in the capital and naturally recognized her.

He wondered why the person who should have been in the cold palace had appeared here.

Li Muyun, on the other hand, has clearly adapted to life here and is no longer as reserved as before.

When her eyes met Cui Jinrong's, the image of Cui Jintang involuntarily flashed in her mind, and a cold look instantly crossed her face.

"Isn't this Young Master Cui? What brings you here?" Li Muyun asked coldly.
