Afterwards, the two of them didn't care whether the wine and food were poisonous. The two brothers sat on the ground. Tang Yong reached out to grab a chicken, tear off his thigh, took a bite, then picked up the jar of wine, and did not pour it into the bowl, and took two sips directly.

"It's great!" Tang Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "His grandma, have you not eaten such good wine and meat in many years?"

The same was true for Li Yu. He drank a sip of wine beautifully, and his movements were much more gentle than Tang Yong. He squinted his eyes and said, "Looking at the brothers' families who could eat well and dress well and live a worry-free life, and his children could afford to go to school. Even if they don't eat meat for the rest of their lives, I will accept it!"

Tang Yong nodded: "You and my brothers have recovered their bad lives. They are afraid that everyone will die and no one will take care of their family. They gave all the blessings to our brothers. If we don't take care of them, who will take care of them?"

"Boss Tang, do you think we can completely believe in the Second Young Master?" Li Yu pondered: "The General is his father after all."

"Li Xiaoyu, you say yourself, are there any other ways we can do besides believing him? If he doesn't want to investigate this matter, he just needs to give an order, and you, my brothers will be in different bodies and heads. Why do you and my brothers talk nonsense to us?" Tang Yong seemed stupid, but in fact he was not stupid at all.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li Yu to cooperate with others in the Western City of the imperial capital to deceive others.

Li Yu nodded: "What you said is that I agreed because of this reason. We are now in the hands of others, and we want to kill and scrape them. It's just a word from others. No one will stand up for you and my brothers. Since that's the case, we might as well try it!"

Tang Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, Li Xiaoyu... are you also doubting in your heart that what Yuan Zhi said back then... is true?"

Li Yu was silent for a long time before he said hoarsely: "Yes, if it is really that way, then wouldn't our brothers have been persevering for so many years? If it is really like that, we would be wronged by the general for so many years. Thinking about it... I don't dare to think..."

"Now, I think back to the expression of the general when he drove us away... Alas, I'm afraid that as the second young master said, he was protecting us! Unfortunately, we were all blinded by resentment at that time... and our hearts were also blinded! How could we have the heart to analyze?"

Tang Yong murmured, "If that's true, then you and my brothers are not only stupid, but they can't find their true enemies; they are also stupid!"

"Actually, we have persisted for so many years, but we just want to give an explanation to the dead brothers...that's all!" Li Yu took a sip of wine and whispered.

...

"This handwriting... can be really fake! Young Master, look, here, yes, it's this place, the master's... Well, the other party has mastered the habits clearly. But what is certain is that this secret order is definitely fake!"

It was already late at night, and Lianyi and Xu Luo sat together, heads next to each other, and were carefully studying the secret order that Xu Luo had just retrieved.

The secret order has turned yellow, and it looks like it has been a while. It is still well preserved and is stained with some darkened blood. It can be seen that in order to preserve this secret order, Tang Yong and Li Yu must have paid a great price.

Xu Luo nodded and said, "Yes, my father is a military general. His characters contain a murderous aura and his pen is tough. Although the font on this secret order is very similar to that of his father, it is almost exactly the same, but it lacks that murderous aura. People who truly understand calligraphy can tell at a glance!"

Xu Luo was weak since childhood and could not practice, but his literary talent was not weak. He was not a big deal in calligraphy and painting, but he was definitely proficient in it.

The same is true for Lianyi. She grew up with Xu Luo since she was a child. Because she was a girl, she was even more proficient in this aspect than Xu Luo.

When the two opened the secret order, they could see something inappropriate at a glance.

"The forger of this secret order has a lot of experience with my father's handwriting. This...it is almost impossible to come from the enemy country, let alone the seal of the general above, which is exactly the same. Although the seal is not highly confidential, it is definitely not a material that enemy country spies can easily obtain..."

Xu Luo pondered, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, is it only Wei Xiang in the dynasty... he is proficient in various brushwork and can be called a master in calligraphy?"

Lianyi was startled by Xu Luo's speculation and said with a pale face: "This... isn't this possible? Even if Wei Xiang wants to take power and suppress the forces of military generals in order to compete for power, he can do this... it is clearly colluding with the enemy... This is treason!"

"Treason? Are there any other things they dare not?" Xu Luo said coldly: "If this thing was really done by that old bastard, even if the sky was about to fall, I wouldn't let him go!"

"Young Master... calm down first, let's discuss it carefully. This matter is extraordinary. Not to mention that Wei Xiang is now at a very high level and cannot act rashly before there is conclusive evidence; just talking about this matter itself, I don't believe that Wei Feng had the courage to do such a crazy thing alone."

Lianyi calmly analyzed: "The biggest beneficiary of that incident back then must be Wei Feng, but he was not the only one who fueled the fire back then! If the young master wanted to investigate this matter, he must be careful and never let out any noise. If he alarmed the enemy, they would definitely counterattack wildly..."

"I know, don't worry, I will never act recklessly." Xu Luo's eyes flashed and he suddenly asked: "Sister, who was the general of the enemy country when Wansong Town was defeated?"

Lianyi frowned slightly and said softly: "It's a general named Hao Liancheng. The target of the 300 dead soldiers and the forward General Wu was that person. Later, because of that great victory, that person became the general in the enemy country!"

"My father received a secret report that he said that Hao Liancheng suddenly appeared in Wansong Town and only had a few personal soldiers around him. So his father planned this beheading operation. As long as Hao Liancheng dies, the entire border can be stable for at least twenty years! To be honest, this matter was very secret at the time, and very few people knew about it. Only one record was left in the military headquarters, which should not be known by others."

"So... who was the one who reported to his father intimately back then?" Xu Luo narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Let's assume that if the incident that year was a trap and a shocking conspiracy, then Hao Liancheng's trip to Wansong Town must be the first trap!"

"In this case, the scout who found this information was the first suspicious object! This scout is likely to have been bribed, and of course, it may also be an innocent victim. We need to find out about this matter."

Lianyi nodded, recorded Xu Luo's words with a pen, and kept it back to verify.

Xu Luo continued: "So, let's assume that this matter is a trap designed by the enemy's general Hao Liancheng and the traitors here, then the whole thing makes sense."

Lianyi said: "Yes, if it were people from our side, they would collude with Hao Liancheng, set up a trap, and then deliberately let the scout discover Hao Liancheng's whereabouts and report them to their father. His father would not miss such a god-given opportunity."

"That's right, the other party even planned to see the reaction of his father after he discovered their movement of troops. So, those unidentified strong men who intercepted Yuan Zhi, and then the secret order that had been dropped... was natural!"

Xu Luo said slowly, his voice calmly, but the anger on his face became more and more intense.

"What a sinister design. If this matter is really designed by an insider, then this person is worse than a beast! For the sake of one's own selfishness, ignoring national interests and ignoring those living lives... is simply inhumane!"

Xu Luo's eyes were red. Thinking of the dead lives and the countless broken families behind those lives, Xu Luo's heart was already full of anger.

"Sister, now, go and investigate the first scout who discovered Hao Liancheng's whereabouts. I want to see if this scout is an innocent victim who has been exploited or a spy who is in love with the enemy!"

"It's decided, let's start investigating this matter here!" Xu Luo put away the secret order and said coldly.

"Okay, I'll do it now." Lianyi said, stood up and left the room.

In the room, Xu Luo's eyes flashed and he muttered softly: "Wei Xiang... Yuan Zhi died in the imperial capital; Wei Ziting... The assassination of me by the brothers of the Yuan family... The assassination of me by the mysterious people on the edge of the imperial city... The military heavy crossbow..."

As he said that, the light in Xu Luo's eyes became colder and colder. He slowly stood up and said softly: "Lianyi will investigate this matter, and no one can notice it. Then... let me create some noise and numb you first."

...

Early the next morning, Xu Luo got up early, rode the Xu Mansion's carriage, and returned to Zhenwu Academy.

There are many poor but very diligent students in the college who get up early every day and practice martial arts hard, hoping to succeed one day.

But today it was a bit abnormal. The students gathered together in groups of three or three, all excitedly talking about something.

Some boys still look longing and don’t know what they are fantasizing about.

Xu Luo's mind was full of the Wansong Town tragedy that year, and he was not interested in the topics of these students. Although everyone's age was almost the same, in terms of mentality, Xu Luo was much more mature than this group of teenagers who had not experienced much.

"Hi, Xu Luo!" While Xu Luo was thinking and walking down, a voice suddenly came from a distance, calling him.

Xu Luo raised his head and saw the person who called him. He was slightly stunned, then smiled: "Why did you get up so early?"

The person coming from the opposite side was Sun Donghai, a son of the Sun family who is one of the top young men in the imperial capital, but he likes to interact with people from the martial arts world.

Sun Donghai smiled and said, "Birds who get up early have insects to eat. If you are not diligent, what should you do in the future? Aren't you too early?"

Xu Luo smiled slightly and didn't explain anything.

Sun Donghai walked into Xu Luo and laughed in a low voice: "Do you know what these people are talking about?"

Xu Luo glanced at Sun Donghai and said, "Why, are you interested in this?"

"Haha, I'm not interested, but you should be interested." Sun Donghai smiled, then leaned closer to Xu Luo and whispered: "The Seventh Princess comes to Zhenwu Academy!"
