After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Xie Zian couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground, with his head bowed, and said intermittently: "At that time, my father asked Liu Yunheng to guard the food and grass in the rear. He... He was eager to make contributions and always went to the battlefield secretly. There was something wrong with that. I'm capable. When the war was stalemate, we were short of food and grass, but the court's food and grass were still arriving, so my father asked Liu Yunheng to come and take care of him. As for me, I need to lead the vanguard army to attack an iron cavalry in Beijin. Liu Yunheng found me and hoped to join the vanguard. Army, but getting food and grass is equally important. After the two of us discussed it, he led the vanguard army to attack the Beijin Iron Cavalry, and I went to pick up the food and grass."

Liu Yunxiang's body tensed up, wanting to go up and slap Xie Zian twice. Even if Liu Yunheng went to find him, he would never agree. One went to fight at the front, and the other transported food to the rear. One had a narrow escape, and the other was supposed to be out of danger. If he, a grown man, was not greedy for life and afraid of death, how could he agree.

Yan Mu sneered coldly, "Such a big matter can only be done by the two of you through private discussion. Does the old Marquis really not know?"

Xie Zi Anmo said, "My father only found out after Liu Yunheng led the vanguard army into battle."

He knew it, but he didn't replace him immediately. Obviously, the old Marquis also had selfish motives.

Liu Yunxiang closed her eyes. After all, she had mistakenly believed in them.

"I received food and fodder, then encountered heavy rain, got lost in the rush, and encountered an ambush after many twists and turns. After that... I was also injured, and fell in a daze among the dead. I was lucky enough to save my life. Later. I fled back to the military camp, but after three days of fierce fighting, our army was completely wiped out. I saw the corpses of countless soldiers, including my eldest brother, but not my father and Liu Yunheng."

The officer brought Xie Zian's confession for Yan Mu to read. It said that after encountering an ambush, he saw that the situation was not good and fled with a few soldiers in a hurry. When the Northern Jin Army came after him, the soldiers fell one by one. Next, in order to save his life, he covered himself with the corpses of soldiers, so that he could save his life.

When Yan Mu saw this, he couldn't help but stepped forward and kicked Xie Zian, "Coward!"

Xie Zian hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Master Yan, please spare me. I told you everything I know. You...for Liu Yunxiang's sake, spare my life!"

Yan Mu stepped on the back of Xie Zian's hand and crushed it hard, "You're a fucking man too!"

Liu Yunxiang pulled Yan Mu back and whispered: "Ask him again, he really didn't see the bodies of the old Marquis and my brother."

Yan Mu touched his nose and stepped forward to ask Xie Zian according to Liu Yunxiang's words.

"I really didn't see where Xu was."

When leaving the imperial prison, Yan Mu ordered his subordinates to continue interrogating Xie Zian, mainly about the news about the batch of grain and grass.

When he came outside, Yan Mu turned to look at Liu Yunxiang and saw her brows furrowed, thinking about something, "What are you thinking about?"

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, "I was thinking, if my brother is not dead, then where is he?"

Yan Mu frowned, "You know so well that your brother is not dead?"

Liu Yunxiang didn't know how to explain to Yan Mu. In the previous life, there were rumors that the Northern Expeditionary Army was not completely wiped out, but that a team of thousands of people entered the northern desert and took root there.

The reason for such rumors is that a soldier returned to Da Rong 30 years later, but was soon killed at home.

At that time, Liu Yunxiang's temples were gray and he was unable to trace what happened back then, so he could only treat it as a rumor.

Xie Zian's words were not useless, but they gave her a lot of confidence. If 1000 people really escaped, and her brother's body was not seen on the battlefield, it indirectly meant that her brother might still be alive.

"As long as I don't see my brother's body, I believe he is still alive. After all, Xie Zian came back after three years. My brother is so smart, he will definitely survive. Also, I think Bei Zheng's case will definitely be solved. If there are other inside stories, such as where the missing food and grass went, you can continue to check."

But she doesn't have much time to wait until the truth is found out.

"Take me back home."

After sending Liu Yunxiang back, Yan Mu returned to the imperial prison, grabbed Xie Zian's wrist, slashed it, and then hung his hand up with a basin underneath.

The blood fell down drop by drop and fell into the water, making a sound.

Every sound hit Xie Zixin, making his whole body tremble in panic and on the verge of mental collapse.

"You said you were lost, how could you fall into the ambush set by Beijin?"

"This……"

"Who led the way?"

"I have a lieutenant beside me."

"Draw him."

"He was just transferred to me temporarily. I don't remember what he looks like."

Yan Mu asked him to look at the basin that was stained red with blood, "You don't have much time."

On the second day, Liu Yunxiang came to the door of the Minister's Mansion.

Jinyan looked at the closed door of the Minister's Mansion, sighed first, and then knocked on the door.

The boy guarding the door saw that it was Jin Yan, and looked at Liu Yunxiang outside, asking them to wait, and Butler Xu came not long after.

"Girl, madam, she is not feeling well..."

"So I, the daughter, came to see her."

Butler Xu sighed, "Madam doesn't want to see you, you know that."

"I have news about Yun Heng."

Upon hearing this, Butler Xu was stunned and said hurriedly: "Girl, come into the house quickly."

In the last life, my mother died early because she was too sad for her younger brother. She was unfilial and all she could do was tell her parents the little news about her younger brother.

Arriving at the east courtyard, Butler Xu went into the house first to report, but he came out soon, "Miss, Madam, let you in."

Liu Yunxiang went in alone. When he entered the back room, he saw his mother sitting on the Arhat bed, her face haggard, and she was obviously still ill. Her eyes trembled, looking at her eagerly, her mouth opening and closing, but she didn't dare to ask.

Liu Yunxiang sat over and held his mother's hand, "I know a doctor who has very good medical skills. Is it okay if I ask her to come and treat you?"

Mrs. Liu shook her head, "Your brother..."

Liu Yunxiang sighed and told his mother not to worry, and then said slowly: "I asked Xie Zian later, and he said that his younger brother did not go with him to transport food, and that he had returned to the battlefield before burning the corpse in Beijin. I only saw the body of Mr. Xie’s family, but not the bodies of Old Master Hou and Yun Heng.”

"What... what does this mean?"

"The guys in my shop who went to sell fur goods in the north heard a rumor there that the Northern Expeditionary Army was not dead, but a small group of people entered the northern desert."

Mrs. Liu suddenly grabbed Liu Yunxiang's hand, "You said your brother... he is not dead... but..."

Liu Yunxiang hissed at Madam Liu, "Mom, Bei Zheng's case has been investigated and investigated again and again, and it involves a lot of things. We just need to know it ourselves and don't tell anyone else, otherwise we're afraid of harming my brother and the others."

"But...but that doesn't mean your brother is still alive."

"My brother is smart and has good kung fu. I think if others can survive, he can too."

But in fact, she really couldn't tell whether her brother was dead or alive, but when her mother heard this, she had hope in her heart, so she wouldn't be too sad.

"Mom, as long as my brother is still alive, no matter if it is ten years, twenty years or more, he will definitely come back. You have to wait for him."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she felt like a dry sapling filled with water. She immediately became nervous and said, "I'll wait, I'll wait until he comes back."
