Zhou Jin saw his father's expression change and asked in surprise, "Father, do you know this thing?"

Marquis Changning frowned slightly and stroked his beautiful beard, "It looks familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere. However, it must have been a long time ago, and I can't remember where it is at the moment. Where did you get this thing?"

Zhou Jin replied: "This is Lai Fu's..."

He recounted all the doubts about his identity that he had learned from Nanny Yuan.

Hearing this, Marquis Changning was slightly startled, and took the pendant again to look at it carefully.

Even an old maid could sense that there was something wrong with Lai Fu’s identity, let alone Marquis Changning, who was almost a spirit?

Zhou Jin did not disturb his father and waited quietly.

After a while, Marquis Changning stood up, put down the pendant in his hand, walked to the bookshelf, and found a book in the corner.

To be precise, it was not a book made of paper, but one bound together with sheepskin.

It’s a thick stack, but there are only six sheets in total.

If you remove the front and back covers and add the usable pages, there are only ten pages in total.

On the first page, there is a crescent pendant, both the shape and the knot are exactly the same.

"Jin'er, look!" Marquis Changning handed the parchment book to Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin's eyes fell on the pendant, which was almost identical to Lai Fu's pendant. "Father, this...if it was just the same jade pendant, I might still be skeptical, but the knot on the pendant is also the same. I completely believe that this is the totem of Beirong."

Marquis Changning nodded, agreeing, "Yes, it is definitely someone from Beirong. Hidden in Lai Fu's waistband, it is obvious that Lai Fu's relatives do not want Lai Fu's identity to be discovered in the local area."

"Luckily, Madam Yuan is a thoughtful person. She kept it away. She will give it to Lai Fu when he grows up. Don't worry, let me figure it out. How old is Lai Fu this year?"

Zhou Jin thought for a moment, then said, "Lai Fu came to Changning Marquis's Mansion when he was five years old. He has been with my son for fourteen years and is nineteen this year."

Marquis Changning nodded, "That happened at least fifteen years ago in Beirong. He who has such a totem is not an ordinary person. I will check it out..."

Because there were too many things in his mind, and Beirong had been peaceful for more than ten years, he couldn't remember for a while.

Marquis Changning walked to another bookshelf and found a book with the words "Beirong" written on it.

This bookshelf not only contains this book, but also books with the titles of many countries surrounding Kangguo.

These books record major events that occurred in the surrounding Fan countries according to the year, including internal wars in Fan countries, changes of royal power, surrounding wars, and of course the war with Kang State.

Marquis Changning went forward in time and came to fifteen years ago.

Marquis Changning was shocked, his pupils shrank slightly, "Jin'er, this Lai Fu is not ordinary! He is very likely the nephew of the current Khan of Beirong. Fifteen years ago, the current Khan of Beirong was only the second prince, who used a mutiny to kill his father and brother and seize the throne."

"Look, there is a portrait of the eldest prince of Beirong here. Doesn't he look very similar to Lai Fu? If you don't know, you would think it is Lai Fu!"

Zhou Jin looked at it carefully and was shocked. "It really looks like him! So Lai Fu is the prince of Beirong?"

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze continued to read, "Jin'er, look! After the death of the Northern Rong Khan and the eldest prince, the current Northern Rong Khan took over all the wives and concubines of his father and brother, killed all his brothers and nephews, and only left his niece."

Zhou Jin leaned over and saw this content, and took a breath. "I don't think it's strange that nomadic peoples have such marriages. This Northern Rong Khan is cruel enough. After killing his father and brother, he actually killed all his brothers and nephews after becoming the Khan. It's shocking."

"Huh? So, Lai Fu's biological mother married the current Khan of Beirong, and we don't know if she is still alive? Father, should we tell Lai Fu about this?"

Marquis Changning pondered for a moment and stroked his beard.

I thought of the news my daughter-in-law got from Gu Xirong, that there was a snowstorm in the north this year, and the northern barbarians invaded the border in the south.

By then, there will inevitably be another big war.

In addition, Marquis Changning also obtained some intelligence about Dirong. The internal conflicts in Dirong intensified, and it was necessary to launch a war to seize Kangguo to ease the situation.

The Khan of the Northern Rong, who killed his father and brother, was absurd, extravagant, and foolish, and his health was not good.

If possible, he wanted to take advantage of the Northern Rong's invasion of the border to eliminate the Northern Rong's power and cause internal divisions in the Northern Rong, so that they would naturally not have enough power to provoke Kangguo.

By then, Lai Fu, as the eldest prince's son, with the help of his biological mother, might be able to become the leader of a more powerful tribe in Beirong.

A tribal leader who is close to Kangguo is far better than a tribal leader who is hostile to Kangguo.

With Kangguo's support, Lai Fu can deal with all the major tribes in Beirong. They won't be able to live in peace for at least ten or twenty years.

In this way, Kangguo’s northern border threat can be resolved!

"Of course I have to tell Lai Fu, so that he can be mentally prepared." Marquis Changning said in a deep voice. He never expected that the son of the eldest prince of Beirong was in the Marquis Changning's mansion.

Lai Fu came back and learned that the Marquis and the Prince were in the study, so he hurried over.

"Laifu, have you found out your hometown?" Zhou Jin asked.

Lai Fu replied, "My Lord, I have found out. He is from Xujia Village, Wanjia Town, Wanlian County, Yuanchang Prefecture. His father is Xu Dazhu and his mother is Ms. Sun."

Marquis Changning's eyes fell on the book, and there was a sentence "The eldest prince died in Wanlian County, the eldest prince's wife was captured in Wanjia Town, and the only son died, but his body was not found."

At this point, Marquis Changning could conclude that the eldest prince and princess must have guessed that the child would die if he followed them, and so they found a way to hide in Xujia Village.

Marquis Changning handed some old books to Lai Fu, "Lai Fu, take a look. This happened too long ago. I haven't read this book for a long time. There should be some records about your life here."

"Ah?" Lai Fu was stunned. He didn't expect that when he went out, the prince and the marquis would dig up his life story.

Lai Fu flipped it open and saw the pendant. He saw that the eldest prince who died in the internal strife of Beirong looked very similar to him.

"My humble... my humble... could be the son of the Prince of Beirong?" Lai Fu's small eyes were full of suspicion. From the time he got Yueya yesterday to now, he actually became the prince of Beirong?

Is this change too fast?

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze nodded, "Lai Fu, based on my guess, it should be him."

Lai Fu blinked his small eyes and continued to watch to the end. Then his gaze fell on the princess who had remarried to the current Khan of Beirong, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

"My Lord, Prince, I don't want to leave the Marquis' Mansion, but as a son, I want to know if my biological mother is still alive? Is she doing well? I dare not trouble the Marquis' Mansion to intervene, so I want to take a two-month leave and go to Beirong, so that I can feel at ease."
