I was a salted fish in ancient times

When Xie Chen heard Xiao Shan's words, he didn't answer immediately, he was very relieved.He told Xiao Shan that it was just a gamble.Bet Xiao Shan is really as he saw, bet Xiao Shan's temperament is really as Xie Zhui said.

Some things involved the emperor and the court ministers, and he had to be careful.Because the matter was too long ago, Xie Sui didn't have any evidence in hand, if Xiao Shan didn't want to participate in these matters, then what he said would be in vain.

Thinking back to when the northern border army was defeated, his grandfather died in battle and his father Xie Suisheng could not be seen. At that time, some people said that Xie Sui had betrayed Da Zhou.He didn't disappear, but took the life of the northern army officer as a gift and defected to enjoy the glory and wealth.

When rumors abounded, the morale of the Northern Frontier Army was low, and the people sent by the imperial court were still on their way.At this time, it only takes one battle, and the northern army is finished.At that time, even if it wasn't Xie Sui's fault, the debt would still be on his head.

Xie Chen had just been poisoned by the poison and could not see through his eyes. Seeing that the Xie family and the northern border army were about to become the souls of other people's swords together, he was filled with resentment but powerless.

Then the northern army was undefeated, and the Xie family produced a young and brave general named 'Xie Chen'.

The northern army was seriously injured at that time, but when the enemy invaded, 'Xie Chen' did not back down, he ran at the front, he took advantage of the enemy's general's underestimation of the enemy, and relied on his bravery to win more with less victory.

When the emperor sent someone to investigate the accident, 'Xie Chen' had already established his dignity in the army and had a firm foothold.

The northern army still believed in Xie's family, they didn't believe that Xie Sui would turn his sword against them and defect.

The emperor didn't blame Xie Sui for that tragic death in battle, and even allowed 'Xie Chen' to stay in the northern border, and when he made contributions, he continued to make him the general of the northern border.

Xie Zhui had also investigated the truth during this period, but no matter how he searched, the situation at that time was that their grandfather and father personally led the northern border army into trouble.

Naturally, they didn't believe that Xie Sui was a traitor. They remembered how much blood Xie Sui had shed and suffered for the northern border.There must be something strange here, but nothing can be found out.

Fortunately, the emperor still trusted the Xie family, so Xie Zhui worked even harder.He was afraid that if he didn't do something well, it would cause the emperor's dissatisfaction and suspicion.

The Xie family needs the emperor's trust.

They have been looking for Xie Sui all these years, and there are too many specious rumors on the border. Some people say that they met Xie Sui in the southern border, and some say that Xie Sui changed his name and surname to become an official in Beirong.

There were many, many, various rumors, and some people even used Xie Sui's name to set up a trap to kill Xie Zhui.

But none of them succeeded.

When Xie Chen first lost his sight, he was angry, restless and even very manic.

It's just that what happened later happened too quickly, and the crisis prompted him to completely suppress these negative emotions in his heart.Xie Zhui bleeds for him, he can no longer let this man miss him on the battlefield.

He can't hold back, he grows up fast, every time Xie Zhui comes back from the military camp to see him, he will change.

Those days were very sad, but he still worked hard to adapt to the darkness. He fell down again and again, and stood up again and again until he could walk freely in the house.

To be honest, looking for Xie Sui has become a habit these years, but he has already determined in his heart that the chance of finding him is slim.

Xie Sui knew his son after all, so he was waiting in Yangzhou to find him.

Xie Chen didn't know it was him at first, because Xie Sui didn't talk to him very much at all, but he had heard Xie Sui's voice in extreme pain when he was poisoned, until Xie Sui passed out once.Xie Chen heard him unconsciously calling his and Xie Zhui's names, and only then did he confirm Xie Sui's identity.

Thinking of the past, Xie Chen closed his eyes. He touched Xie Sui's face and shook Xie Sui's hand. He was so thin that only a layer of skin remained.

Xiao Shan could feel the grief on Xie Chen, and he could understand Xie Chen's mood.If the person screaming in pain is really Xie Sui, as a son of man, it is natural for Xie Chen to be sad.

Xiao Shan pursed his lips and said: "I understand how big brother feels, and I also understand why big brother is not here with Xie Zhui and the premise. Xie Zhui is heavy, and I'm afraid I can't bear to hear this. Since big brother trusts me and told me, Then my idea is that since my father has suffered so much, we should help him get rid of the suspicion earlier, and bring the real culprit behind the scenes to the father."

Xie Chen said: "I know what you mean. My father said that the enemy army was coming in menacingly and broke the defense repeatedly. My grandfather and him repeatedly wrote to ask the emperor to decree the support of the garrison in the neighboring land. Time is needed from the northern border to the capital and back to the northern border. On the following day, the person who sent the letter had not yet returned, and the enemy invaded again. The situation was very critical at that time, and my grandfather had no choice but to write a letter to ask for help from General An who was stationed on the northwest defense line."

"General An's home is in Xun'an, at the junction of the western border and the northern border. He is also a relative of the emperor, and he can't watch the people of Da Zhou suffer because of the enemy's invasion. Of course, the troops stationed in other places have not followed the order. Moving forward is a felony. For this reason, my grandfather wrote a seal and sent someone to the capital to explain the reason, and expressed his willingness to bear all the consequences."

"General An received a letter to bring people to the northern border, but he did not come to support, but to seek personal revenge. At that time, his grandfather was seriously injured, and his father was guarding him. In order to preserve strength, the northern border army divided into two groups. Back to camp."

"Father and grandfather encountered enemies along the way, and they can't be said to be enemies, but soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty wearing enemy clothes."

"Grandfather died in battle, father was forced up a cliff, and he ripped off General An's mask during the fight. General An himself said that before pushing him off the cliff."

He spoke calmly, and Xiao Shan's heart surged when he heard it.

"General An, the current Marquis of An Guo." Xiao Shan said.

Xie Chen nodded, and he recounted the personal grievances between Mrs. An and his grandfather.

Xiao Shan didn't expect such a thing to happen. After all, the An family is indeed a relative of the emperor, and Mrs. An is still highly respected by the emperor.

No wonder Xie Chen didn't dare to speak casually at first, Mrs. An is not an ordinary person after all, she is the emperor's own aunt, and she has made great contributions to the emperor's ascension to the throne.

The Gu family is her natal family, and her status is precious.

If there is no conclusive evidence, it is indeed impossible to speak easily.

Xie Chen didn't mention An's family today, he forgot that there is such a person in the capital.

It seems that there are other reasons for Mrs. An's hostility towards Xie Zhui that day.

Xiao Shan said: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If someone framed Zhongliang because of personal grievances, then the emperor will not forgive him lightly."

Xie Chen said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to investigate."

Xiao Shan: "It's not easy to find out, but it doesn't mean it can't be found out. People have done bad things, and they are always afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. But I won't just listen to your words, but the truth of the matter will definitely come to light."

Hearing what he said, Xie Chen said solemnly: "Thank you, my lord, our Xie family is not afraid of investigating, but we are afraid that no one will dare to investigate and no one will."

After Xiao Shan finished speaking, he said softly, "Father, how did he become like this?" And why did he know how to cure Xie Chen's eyes? Is there anyone else around him?

Just as Xie Chen was about to speak, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Xie Zhui stood in front of it.

Xiao Shan was taken aback when he saw him, and hurried over to welcome him in, he said, "Why are you here?"

Xie Zhui shook his head and didn't speak. He just wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Xie Chen alone after Xiao Shan left. He didn't want Xie Chen to hide it from him.Unexpectedly, after arriving, they caught Xiao Shan who hadn't entered the palace, and heard these words.

As soon as Xie Chen heard Xiao Shan's voice, he knew who was coming, and he called out in a slightly lower voice: "Gu Ning..."

"Brother, don't call Gu Ning. It was I who saw the prince's horse in front of the door. As the prince and the young son of the Xie family, I suppressed the servants of the Xie family not to report." Xie Zhui said calmly: "Now I have I heard, big brother still wants to hide it from me?"

Xie Chen was afraid of irritating him, but he still listened to it unexpectedly.

Xiao Shan looked at Xie Zhui for a while, saw that the man's face was pale, but his eyes were still firm and calm, and said: "Even if you want to know the truth of the matter, you have to sit down and listen slowly."

After speaking, he pressed Xie Zhui on the padded stool, then looked at Xie Chen and said, "Brother, since Xie Zhui heard it, just say it, otherwise it's not a problem if he keeps thinking about it. Said, Xie Zhui has certain influence in the northern border, and Xu Guang and Yin Tong still have some contacts with him. If you really want to investigate An Guohou, it is more appropriate for him to send someone to find An, and it will save time in the investigation."

Xie Zhui: "Brother..."

Xie Chen said: "Forget it, forget it, since you can't hide it, then don't hide it."

"Father said that he fell into the water after being pushed off the cliff that day. He floated out of the boundary of Dazhou along the water, and then was picked up and returned to be a drug tester."

"Experimental medicine?" Xie Zhui felt heart palpitations again, hearing these two words was extremely dangerous.

Xie Chen nodded: "Bei Rong wants to train an invulnerable medicine man through these trainings. When the time comes to fight against Da Zhou, they will have an advantage."

"Father's injury was too serious. They didn't let him test the medicine directly at first. Later, he heard the news of Da Zhou intermittently from those people, about Xie Shen's entry into the army, and about the blindness of Xie's little brother. They also cursed and said that the An family's blindness could be used on the wrong person, and it was obviously intended to be used on Xie Chen, but unexpectedly it was used on Xie's little brother."

"The Gu worm came from the place where my father was and fell into the hands of General An, and then he bought a servant in the family and planted a Gu worm for me." Speaking of this, Xie Chen sneered again and again.

The Gu hit the right place, but their little brother from the Xie family pierced the sky that imprisoned them.

"Father knew this and endured it all the time. He suffered a lot there. There were still many children with tragic life experiences there. Many people wanted to escape. Those animals fed them poison, and my father tried to spit it out every time... Later After a lot of things, someone got him out."

"Is this the person who treated your eyes?" Xiao Shan asked.

Xie Chen nodded, and he said: "He is from Beirong. His father is the prince of Beirong, and his mother is from Dazhou. He was not favored since he was a child. Because of his medical talent, he was sent to that den of thieves. That’s why I dare not speak easily.”

Xiao Shan hummed.

Xie Sui has Beirong people around him, which means he will be attacked.

Everyone will say that Da Zhou and Bei Rong have been hostile for generations, how could they be so kind to let Xie Sui go, and give Xie Chen Zhi eyes.

Maybe this will become evidence for everyone to attack Xie's family for collusion with Beirong.

So be careful with this.

So Xiao Shan looked at Xie Zhui and said: "You sent the pigeon to Yin Tong and the others, and asked them to investigate An Guohou immediately. In the past few years, An Guohou has been ill, and this time he did not enter the capital to face the saint."

"An Guohou has always followed the orders of Mrs. An. Mrs. An is proud and arrogant. She doesn't seem to be a well-behaved person in the capital. I will go and check her recent movements carefully, maybe I will find something unexpected. "

Xie Zhui nodded, then he looked at Xie Chen again and said, "Brother, we are a family, you don't have to bear these matters alone. If Xie's family made a mistake, we will let the emperor punish us. If someone else made a mistake, we will And never forgiving.”

Xie Shen responded.

He smiled wryly, he thought Xie Zhui couldn't bear it, but he didn't expect that he still didn't understand this younger brother.

Xie Zhui has grown up, he protects himself and supports Xie's family.

Xie Zhui said softly, "Brother, I want to see my father."

Xie Chen said: "Father told me to hide it from you, if his mood swings too much..." It's easy to lose control of yourself and get poisoned.

Xiao Shan said: "Then wait for Father to fall asleep and watch."

Xie Chen thought for a while and nodded.

**

At the same time, Xiao Jin was walking towards the queen's palace, because he learned from the emperor that the queen mentioned the truth about the death of Mr. Gu to the queen.

The author has something to say: It seems that there was a foreshadowing that Mrs. An brought people back to Beijing from Xun'an, and Xun'an is located at the junction of the two places in the northwest.
