After hearing this, Wu Lin's expression froze on his face and he didn't know how to start talking for a moment.
"Wu Lin, this is the helper I just mentioned."
Rong Sheng saw that Wu Lin didn't dare to rashly admit his identity, so he quickly pulled out the needle while explaining: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness Ming Wang is in the same group with us."
"Oh——" Wu Lin suddenly realized and thought that the helper the major general was talking about was His Majesty the King Ming.
The major general is really amazing. The helpers he finds are all at this level!
After Wu Lin secretly praised Rong Sheng to the ground in his heart, he raised his head and chest and said to Song Xuanlin: "That's right, I will not change my name, I am..."
"You are General Wu Lin of the Shen Family Army, and you are still alive!"
Before Wu Lin finished introducing himself, Song Xuanlin excitedly grabbed Wu Lin's arm and laughed like a child.
"Uh, this..."
Wu Lin was once again speechless because of Song Xuanlin's reaction.
Rong Sheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw Song Xuanlin's unusual mood.
Logically speaking, during the years when the Shen family army was at its peak, Song Xuanlin was just a little prince.
Later, when he was a teenager, I met him several times because of my master, but the total number of sentences we spoke was less than ten.
The deepest connection between them was that he once saved Concubine Wei's life.
Is it just because the Shen family once saved his mother's life that he has such deep feelings for the Shen family?
Why didn’t I notice it when I was alive in my previous life?
Rong Sheng recovered and looked at Song Xuanlin. His expression had returned to normal.
She put away her doubts and whispered to Song Xuanlin: "Your Highness, the soldier of the Shen family army I was talking about was this General Wu."
Song Xuanlin knew that he had lost his composure a little, so he tried to calm his tone and said, "General Wu, I have been stationed in the Chidan border many times in the north, just to find out the truth about the battle in Camel Valley. Fortunately, you are safe and sound. Can you tell me the details in detail?"
When Wu Lin heard the term "Hump Valley", he felt mixed emotions and his eyes reddened slightly. "Back then, the Shen family army followed the prince and Rong Dexin to the north to attack Chidan. When they reached a fork in the road, the prince proposed to split the army into two groups. So General Shen and Major General Shen Yun led the Shen family army westward according to the strategic map and finally entered the Hump Valley."
"As soon as we entered, we found that the surrounding hills were full of Red Dan troops. We looked at the vicious faces above our heads and realized that the strategic map was fake."
At this point, Wu Lin's voice began to choke up. "At that time, General Shen and Major General Shen Yun rode their horses to the two sides of the canyon, trying to lead the soldiers out, but they found that the exits on both sides were blocked by the crown prince and Li Yujing's men. In the end, we watched Chi Dan throw down countless boulders and shoot countless arrows."
"The most abominable thing is," Wu Lin couldn't help but bite his back teeth and said, "The prince asked Li Yujing to behead the surviving soldiers of the Shen family army one by one, and General Shen was killed without a complete body..."
At this point, he began to sob softly: "I was buried among the corpses at the time and witnessed everything. Until I saw Major General Shen Yun also pierced through the heart by Li Yujing's arrows, I was completely desperate and finally fainted."
"Li Yujing..." Song Xuanlin spat out these words through clenched teeth, and the scene in the court three years ago appeared in his mind again.
After the battle of Camel Valley, the prince returned to the court and immediately presented to his father the letters between the prince and the Red Dan Kingdom that he had found in General Shen’s tent. He said that it was the rebellion of the Shen family army that led to the disastrous defeat of Dazhen and that he was finally executed on the spot.
Li Yujing was standing behind the prince and others at that time, with tears streaming down his face. He kept saying that he had long seen that the Shen family had ulterior motives, so he did not go along with the Shen family. He was also the one who found the letter.
At first, my father, like myself at that time, was unwilling to believe that the Shen family would rebel.
But what an emperor cannot tolerate most is the betrayal of his subjects.
Faced with these irrefutable witnesses and material evidence, as well as the prince's decisive one-sided statement, he could not help but feel grief-stricken and indignant. Without even investigating, he directly convicted the Shen family of treason, thus ending the Shen family's reputation for loyalty for generations.
Finally, the emperor allowed Li Yujing to remain as the General of the Central Army because he was the adopted son of the Shen family but had made great contributions in providing evidence.
Song Xuanlin recalled that during his years in the northern border, he had overheard the conversations of the Red Dan Army, and they all implied that the prince had rigged the battle three years ago.
Therefore, he always believed that the culprit who killed the Shen family was the prince, and Li Yujing was at best just afraid of death, so he turned against his side and surrendered, and cooperated with the prince to give false testimony.
I didn't expect that Li Yujing, a beast in human form, relied on the Shen family to rise to power, but turned against his friends and killed those who had helped him with his own hands. He should have been beaten up just now!
Just as he was thinking viciously, he heard Rong Sheng say, "Your Highness, you don't know, I heard a truth about the Camel Hump Valley in the Marquis' Mansion."
"Is there any other truth?" Song Xuanlin immediately looked up and asked.
"It was actually King Jing'an who prevented the arrival of reinforcements, which destroyed the Shen family's last hope of survival."
"What you said...is it true?" Song Xuanlin felt a dull pain in his temple at this moment, and he could no longer bear this bloody fact.
Prince Jing'an was a senior official who had helped his father ascend the throne, and he was also an elder that he had admired since childhood. Now, not only did he collude with Nanyue to plot a rebellion, but he also had a hand in the framing of a senior official three years ago...
Rong Sheng looked at Song Xuanlin's incredulous expression, but she became even calmer. As a victim, these bloody truths had already been deeply engraved in her heart.
She nodded and said with great certainty, "It is absolutely true. Moreover, Prince Jing'an has already transferred the weapons in the secret passage to the Rongguo Marquis' Mansion. The next step is to hand over the weapons to the soldiers secretly stationed in Wanjing Mountain before the birthday banquet at Yanhuan Mountain, so that they can be ready to rebel at any time."
"Well, Rong Dexin is involved again." Song Xuanlin's face was gloomy, and he said solemnly, "Do you know when they will transfer those weapons?"
"Your Majesty, in ten days, the weapons will be secretly delivered to the outskirts of Beijing by Rong Dexin. By then, you will need to prepare some wooden boxes filled with stones and send people to ambush nearby."
After he finished speaking, Rong Sheng glanced at Wu Lin and said, "General Wu, please bring the map."
Wu Lin immediately stood up, took out a map from behind and handed it to Rong Sheng.
She spread out the map, pointed to the location of Wanjing Mountain and said, "Your Highness, please look, there are several roads leading to Wanjing Mountain from the capital, but the woods five miles away from the foot of the mountain are the only way to go. We can act here."
"I will hide in the carriage carrying the weapons. Please follow my instructions, my Lord."
"Are you the only one following them?"
Song Xuanlin was listening carefully, and suddenly realized something was wrong. He frowned and asked, "Are you healed?"
