Wishful Things

Which Feng Liang?!

Ji Xiu looked at what was written on the letter, and unconsciously squeezed the letter paper tightly.

"Father, who is this Feng Liang?" Ji Wanyou couldn't help asking when she saw her father's expression was not right.

"Many years ago, before our Ji family came to Beijing, there was a servant named Feng Liang by my side..." The color of Ji Xiu's eyes was uncertain: "But when your elder brother and second brother had an accident, this person was clearly already..."

Having said that, his voice paused slightly.

But it's true that I never saw a dead body on the spot...

However, it was the time of war, and there were many unidentified corpses. Afterwards, many corpses of soldiers whose original appearance had long been unclear were found and buried. He thought that Feng Liang must be among them.

Therefore, if the other party is still alive, it is not impossible...

But how could he be in the hands of the girl from the Xu family?

"According to this, there may be something strange about this person..." Ji Wanyou's eyes showed thought when she heard this.

Ji Xiu asked, "Is this letter sent by someone from the Xu family?"

Could it be that someone deliberately used Feng Liang's affairs to lure him over?

He had just experienced an extremely dangerous slander and frame, and the current situation was not easy, so he had to be more cautious.

Ji Wanyou thought for a while, then nodded firmly and said: "It shouldn't be fake. Others don't know that Miss Xu and I have crossed paths before. Even if they really want to use someone else's name to deceive my father and me, they definitely won't choose Miss Xu."

Wouldn't it be easier and easier to directly use the name of a colleague who was closer to his father?

He said again: "Besides, the meeting place agreed in this letter is a shop with the surname Yuan, which presumably belongs to Miss Xu's maternal ancestor's family."

Ji Xiu followed his daughter's words and thought for a while, then got up with the letter paper.

"Whether it's true or not, I'll know when I go to see it."

Ji Wanyou hurriedly said: "My daughter will go with you."

She couldn't help being a little worried, one was her father's safety, and the other was her father's temper.

After thinking about it for a while, Ji Xiu finally nodded his head: "Alright, it's not too late, you just prepare one or two, and I'll send someone to prepare the car."

Ji Wanyou nodded, took the maid back to the courtyard and changed into a more convenient and unobtrusive dress in the evening, then went out with her father in the car to Yuan's shop.

It was already late at this time, and the city was not peaceful recently, so it was not a particularly prosperous place. At this time, the bustling scene probably disappeared early, and many shops on the street had closed their doors.

The carriage stopped in front of the shop, and Ji Xiu's father and daughter got out of the car. Ji Xiu first glanced at the signboard of the shop before walking forward.

The clerk who was about to close the door greeted him with a smile: "What a coincidence, the shop has already closed down."

Ji Xiu looked at the situation in the shop without a trace, and when he was about to speak, he saw a maid came out and said to the guy: "This is the person my girl is waiting for."

The buddy understood, turned sideways, and politely made a "please" gesture.

Ji Wanyou had already recognized Ah Zhu, she felt more settled, and after exchanging glances with her father, she lifted her foot and walked in.

Under the guidance of Ah Zhu, the father and daughter walked through the front hall and came to the backyard.

When Ji Xiu stepped into the room, he saw King Yan sitting in the chair at first sight.

He couldn't help but immediately became alert——

Why is King Yan here? !

Looking aside, besides the Xu family girl, there is actually another Wu Shisun?

What is this going to do to him?

"My lord..." Ji Xiu's eyes flickered, and he calmly raised his hand to salute.

"Ji Shangshu."

King Yan got up, cupped his hands to return the salute, but looked to one side.

Ji Xiu subconsciously followed his gaze and saw that in the dim light, apart from a few boxes, there was another person sitting in a chair.

Looking at each other, the man moved out of the chair with some difficulty, knelt down towards him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Master..."

Looking at the man kneeling on the ground, Ji Xiu's eyes were shocked.

"Feng Liang?!"

It really is him!

I haven't seen each other for many years, and the other party described that his attire has changed drastically. If he encounters someone by chance on the road, he might not be able to recognize him at a glance. But on the premise of mental preparation in advance, when he knows who he is about to meet, it is much easier to recognize someone.

"It's a villain..." The numbness in his body disappeared a lot, Feng Liang lowered his head, not daring to look directly into those shocked eyes.

As long as he can remember, he has been a servant of the Ji family, and the servant's fear of the master's family is almost engraved in his bones.

After Ji Wanyou's eyes went back and forth between her father and the kneeling man twice, she walked towards Xu Mingyi, silently blessing her body.

Xu Mingyi nodded lightly.

Nobody said much.

As the atmosphere froze, Ji Wanyou's eyes returned to Feng Liang.

"Back then...you didn't die!" Ji Xiu still had a sense of surprise in his tone.

"Yes, the villain was lucky enough to escape from those men in black and saved his life..."

Man in black?

Ji Xiu frowned: "What man in black?"

Isn't it the enemy chasing troops?

"Master, I don't know. Back then, I followed His Royal Highness King Yan to raid the enemy camp with the two young masters, but I don't know why the enemy seemed to have responded long ago. We were besieged and killed as soon as we approached... After we escaped desperately, and the situation was critical, His Royal Highness Yan divided his troops into two groups in order to divert the pursuers, and asked me to take a shortcut to escort the two young masters back to the camp first, but unexpectedly, a group of men in black suddenly appeared on the way..."

Even though these words had been roughly spoken to King Yan just now, Feng Liang still couldn't say them calmly when facing the former Patriarch.

At this point, the voice was extremely hoarse: "Those men in black are deadly. I was wounded when I escaped, and I didn't have the strength to fight back. The two young masters died under the long swords of those people..."

Ji Xiu was even confused when he heard this.

The death of the second son was a wound in his heart that would never heal, and he couldn't even mention it or listen to it on weekdays.

But……

King Yan split up with Qingyun Qingcheng in order to divert the pursuers? !

How can this be?

The fact is clearly that King Yan fled back to the camp alone, letting his two sons die behind and delay the enemy soldiers!

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be resentful about this matter and couldn't let it go!

Feng Liang continued: "Later, the villain heard the conversation of those men in black, and knew that they had ambushed here in advance, in order to cut off the possibility of His Royal Highness King Yan returning to the camp alive..."

But who knows that by mistake, His Royal Highness King Yan took another route in order to divert the pursuers, and left the shortcut back to the camp to his son.

"Enough!" Ji Xiu's tightly clenched fists were trembling, and his lips were livid, "If there was such a change, why didn't you come back to report back then! On the contrary, after so many years, you suddenly said these unsubstantiated nonsense!"

Seeing this, Ji Wanyou hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Father..."

Ji Xiu's eyes were fixed on Feng Liang's body.

Feng Liang's eyes were slightly red, and he was ashamed: "In the final analysis, the villain is greedy for life and afraid of death... After he escaped by chance, he was also seriously injured, and he was afraid of meeting those men in black who were looking around again, so he hid for several days to recuperate... After the injury healed, he lost his face and the courage to go back to see the master..."

This is the case with some things. If you didn't do it at the time, and you 'calm down' afterwards, you often lose your courage.

At that time, he had injured his leg and foot, and he only wanted to save his life and settle down, and he didn't want to return to the barracks to live a precarious life.

In addition, at that time, he only thought that the two young masters were dead, and those people were going for King Yan, rather than deliberately targeting his master. Of course, it would be useless for him to go back. It never occurred to him that the death of the two young masters would be misinterpreted, or even made a fuss about.

Hearing that his tone did not seem to be fake, Ji Xiu's mind was buzzing, and many voices were intermingling.

If this statement is true...

His two sons did not die by the enemy's sword, but died in a conspiracy, and became victims of others' schemes? !

Thinking of this possibility, Ji Xiu couldn't even stand still for a while.

Ji Wanyou held her father's arm tightly.

Of course, she had heard her father talk about the past of the two brothers more than once.

But for many years, the father has been convinced that what he has been worrying about is actually a misunderstanding with ulterior motives?

"Do you know who ordered those men in black?" Ji Wanyou asked Feng Liang.

Feng Liang shook his head: "The villain can't be sure..."

"The person who leaked the news that we planned to raid the enemy's camp at night should be the same envoy behind it." King Yan looked at Ji Xiu and said, "And the two traitors who were found out later are just scapegoats used by the other party to cover up."

"Father, do you still have any memories of what happened back then?" Ji Wanyou asked softly.

If what Feng Liang said is true, then the estrangement between his father and His Highness the King of Yan must have been deliberately led by someone with a heart, and the person who took the opportunity to guide him was probably the mastermind behind the scenes.

Ji Xiu's face turned pale, and he clenched his trembling teeth.

The soldiers returned to the camp in two ways...

He vaguely remembered hearing this statement from King Yan back then.

But at that time, he didn't believe it at all, and only regarded it as a lie used by the other party to evade responsibility.

Because of this, he felt more and more that the death of his two sons was not worth it... How could he be willing to let two sincere children lose their lives because of such a hypocritical and irresponsible person? !

And the reason why he was so convinced that King Yan was lying was not just out of narrow speculation...

At that time, someone secretly 'revealed' with him how the king of Yan asked his two sons to stop and delay the pursuit of soldiers, and there were even soldiers who could testify...

Are those all fake!

Looking at Ji Shangshu who described the excitement repeatedly, Xu Mingyi sighed slightly in his heart.

When a person is in great pain, if a hateful person appears, it seems to be a way out of grief. Because of this, it becomes easier to be deceived.

"Ji was just an unknown soldier back then... who would bother to provoke Ji!" Ji Xiu forced a sneer through his teeth.

Ji Wanyou opened her mouth to speak - if she deliberately killed her two elder brothers just to provoke her father, this reason is really not convincing. But at that time, her two elder brothers were already dead, so if she pushed the boat along the river to win her father to fight against King Yan, it was only a small effort, why would the other party not do it?

But she didn't say anything.

Because she knew that her father would not fail to think of this, and these subconscious rebuttals at this time were just because deep down in her heart she did not want to believe in other possibilities...

For this reason, my father must have done too much... and all of this is very likely to be used by others.

And the person who used her father may be the one who really killed her two brothers...

How could my father admit and accept such a sudden and cruel fact in front of King Yan?

Perhaps King Yan also understood this point, and did not refute anything at this time.

But Ji Xiu couldn't suppress the turbulence in his heart: "...it's been so many years, and Ji can believe it with just a few words from Feng Liang! Besides, the prince has brought up this matter again and again, and tried his best to find this person. It's nothing more than wanting to get rid of what happened back then... I don't know if it's another plot and provocation against Ji!"

He couldn't believe anyone at this moment!

These words were undoubtedly presumptuous, and he indirectly admitted that he had resentment towards this matter. However, the King of Yan was not at all angry, but calmly said: "This king has never thought of taking anything away from it, nor has he thought that he has no responsibility for this matter. I didn't think so before, and it's even worse today—in the final analysis, Qingyun and Qingcheng's accidents were caused by me, and there is no excuse. , causing Ji Shangshu to be deceived again and again."

Facing those magnanimous eyes that showed no evasion, Ji Xiu's eyes even alternated light and dark for a while.

He almost gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "The words I heard tonight...Ji doesn't believe a single word! Wan'er, let's go!"

Before the words fell, he turned around abruptly.

While supporting her emotionally unstable father, Ji Wanyou hurriedly nodded to Xu Mingyi and the others.

Behind him, Feng Liang, who was kneeling in the room, kowtowed heavily, his voice hoarse and trembling: "The villain was greedy for life and feared death, and failed to protect the two young masters thoroughly. He really failed the master's instructions! To avoid punishment afterwards, he never reported the truth to the master, so that the master was deceived for many years. It is an unforgivable crime... Today, the villain will explain what he knows, but forget it, but he has a knot in his heart. Even if he apologizes with death, he can rest in peace!"

"You dare die and try!"

Ji Xiu suddenly turned around, and said in an aggressive tone: "If you leave two words that you don't know the truth of, you have to die in a hurry to apologize. If you really have the heart, why have you flinched so far? What's more, will death prove what you said is true! Before I really find out about this matter, you'd better tie your head tightly, otherwise I will just treat you as a lie and die in fear of crime!"

Naturally, these words were not only for Feng Liang.

King Yan just watched Ji Xiu stride away from the back.

Whether it is true or not, he thought that Ji Shangshu had roughly made a judgment in his mind.

Ji Wanyou helped Ji Xiu leave the shop and got into the carriage.

As soon as Ji Xiu sat down in the car, he said to the driver in a deep voice: "Go to Mingkangfang!"

Mingkangfang?

After Ji Wanyou reacted for a moment, she couldn't help being shocked.

The Xia family lives in Mingkangfang!
