After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

The Uncle Zhou mentioned by Lu Yan was General Lu's lieutenant.

"I remember that I just celebrated my 11th birthday that year. I don't know what happened, but my father suddenly sent me back to my grandpa.

They kept the news very tight. It wasn't until my father died that I learned that Beidi had assembled an army of [-] people and suddenly invaded that year, but my father only had [-] soldiers by his side.

He faced off against them for more than three months despite being outnumbered, and finally succeeded in driving the Beidi people back.

But my father... he never came back.

Later, I started investigating and found out that my father was ambushed in the last battle and died on the battlefield with his bodyguards. "

Recalling the past, a faint sadness appeared on Lu Yan's face, but there was also a little pride in this sad expression.

He is the son of General Lu and knows his father very well.

He knew that General Lu, as a generation of war god, might be the best destination for him to die on the battlefield.

Shen Ruoyan also had some impressions of the war that Lu Yan mentioned.

At that time, she was still young and living in the capital, and news from the north often came.

Today we heard how many people died, and tomorrow we heard how many enemies General Lu killed and successfully recaptured a city.

At the time it sounded like just a cold number, but now I think about it, behind those numbers are lives of flesh and blood.

Withdrawing her thoughts, Shen Ruoyan thought about the problem at hand.

Logically speaking, the Uncle Zhou mentioned by Lu Yan should have died together with Lu Yan's father, but not only did he not die, he also survived incognito, and even came to assassinate Lu Yan many years later - General Lu only son.

What happened?

Shen Ruoyan frowned and expressed her inner suspicion, "So, you suspect that there was something fishy about General Lu's death back then?"

Although it is a question, the tone is a statement.

Lu Yan nodded.

He didn't tell Shen Ruoyan about this at first, also out of consideration to protect Shen Ruoyan.

As a brave and skilled general, his father had guarded the most miserable northern area of ​​Daning for many years. Because of his presence, Beidi rarely invaded.

His status in the hearts of the people of Daning is extremely high. Even now, on the anniversary of General Lu's death, many people spontaneously hold prayer ceremonies to remember this hero who sacrificed his life for Daning.

If there was anything suspicious about the cause of his death, it would have been a major event that shocked both the government and the public.

As the son of General Lu, Lu Yan would certainly not sit idly by.

He wanted to get to the bottom of this matter.

Lu Yan had a hunch that if he really started investigating, he would surely uncover some huge conspiracy hidden in time. The risks involved were too great, and he didn't want Shen Ruoyan to be implicated.

Feeling the slight tremor coming from the other party's body, Shen Ruoyan felt intense pain in her heart. She followed Lu Yan's example, wrapped her hands around his waist, and leaned close to him.

The two leaned against each other, and in the silent night, they could clearly hear each other's heartbeat.

Shen Ruoyan whispered in Lu Yan's ear: "Lu Yan, don't be afraid, I will accompany you this time!"

Lu Yan tightened his hands and caressed his beloved girl with nostalgia.

They both chose to hide from each other out of concern for each other's safety.

But in fact, as the parties concerned, I hope to share the joys and sorrows with the other party.

They will be people who work together for a lifetime, and they will not let go easily in the future, whether it is bitter or sweet.

Lu Yan's cold voice was trembling, revealing his inner excitement, "Okay, let's go for it together this time!"

To investigate this matter, we must first find Uncle Zhou.

Of course, Lu Yan couldn't sit still and wait for the other party to come and assassinate him.

How to take the initiative to find Uncle Zhou became the key.

"Lu Yan, have you noticed that something is wrong with Tang Manman?" Shen Ruoyan asked Lu Yan, remembering the doubts she discovered when she left.

Lu Yan seemed to be in a good mood, raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Don't worry, I only like you."

Once the words were spoken, Lu Yan no longer held them back, as if he had enlightened himself. He changed his usual cold and reserved temperament and opened his mouth to express his love.

Shen Ruoyan's face turned red at his sudden confession, and she said coquettishly, "I'm not saying that she likes you, I am saying that I think she may have a connection with Uncle Zhou.

Do you remember the night A Yuan disappeared?

On weekdays, Tang Manman was indifferent to her brother, and she even had a big fight with me because I brought Ayuan to the government office.

But that night, she came over and told us that Ayuan was missing. "

By the firelight, Lu Yan looked at the girl talking happily and felt that he had underestimated her in the past.

Underneath her charming appearance, what attracted him even more was Shen Ruoyan's kind and delicate heart, which could always discover the little details that ordinary people easily overlooked.

Shen Ruoyan continued: "I have also asked Ayuan. Tang Manman deliberately stimulated his emotions that day, making him think that I was angry because he broke the waterwheel, and would not pay attention to him in the future, so Ayuan would Running out alone at night.

Moreover, what further confirmed to me that this was a carefully arranged event was that Ayuan saw an ox cart on the street after he went out. He secretly sat on the ox cart and was taken to a rice field.

Then, in order to find him, we also went to the rice fields, where we were later attacked.

Why do bullock carts appear at night?

And the ox cart happened to bring A Yuan near the rice fields.

There were too many people around you during the day, and it was not convenient for them to assassinate you, so they led us to the rice fields at night.

This chain of events is so coincidental that it can only be a deliberate arrangement by someone.

So I think Tang Manman must be connected with Uncle Zhou! "

Lu Yan's eyes lit up after hearing this logical and clear inference.

How could I be so lucky to fall in love with such an excellent girl!

Lu Yan tapped the table with his fingers and said seriously: "Actually, I have also suspected Tang Manman, so I have been sending people to keep an eye on her in the past few days, but according to the reports from the secret guards, there seems to be nothing unusual about her. , I live my life step by step every day, and I have never come into contact with anyone suspicious."

"Huh? How could this happen?" Shen Ruoyan asked strangely. She always felt that she would find something from Tang Manman.

Shen Ruoyan knew very well the abilities of the secret guards around Lu Yan. If they said there was nothing suspicious about Tang Manman, maybe she was really innocent.

"Besides," Lu Yan quickly glanced at Shen Ruoyan and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "You can also see that Tang Manman has some bad thoughts about me...well...she has no reason to help others to harm me."
