The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

After Shen Qinglan and Huo Zhanting left General Nangong's Mansion, Shen Qinglan sat in the carriage, still a little confused.

She looked at Huo Zhanting and couldn't help asking:

"Tell me, why did General Nangong, who was so happy to know that Nangong Ze was still alive, tell us not to investigate further? Does he not want to see Nangong Ze again?"

Huo Zhanting's face was still flushed due to the alcohol. He leaned against the carriage and heard Shen Qinglan speak. He sighed and said:

"General Nangong, when the six men left, none of them returned. Do you have any doubts in your heart?"

Shen Qinglan was shocked when he heard this. He clenched the handkerchief in his hand in surprise and asked with a serious expression:

"The battlefield is ever-changing, and coupled with the enemy's surprise attack, it's not surprising that General Nangong and six junior generals were killed... What do you know?"

Huo Zhanting smiled bitterly, looked at his legs, closed his eyes, and slowly began to explain.

Huo Zhanting had just joined the military camp that year. Although he was not in the camp where General Nangong and his men were, he had heard a lot about General Nangong's great achievements.

The Nangong family is prosperous. Not only is Nangong Liuming a great general, his six sons are also like a tiger father, and there is no dog son! Each of them is brave and good at fighting! And in terms of military affairs, no one can match them.

It was also because of this that some people in the court said that the Nangong family was born at the wrong time. If the sixth son of Nangong had been born when Emperor Jingren launched the coup, it would be unknown who would have succeeded to the throne.

What's more, the reputation of the Nangong family at that time was even greater than that of Huo Zhanting!

After all, the seven fathers and sons all had the talent of a great general, and each of them amazed the world.

However, the Nangong family had always been loyal to Emperor Jingren, and they were also afraid that Emperor Jingren would think too much. Therefore, even though the eldest son of the Nangong family was already in his thirties, he had never married or had children. This was because they were afraid of making Emperor Jingren wary.

In the final battle between Nangong Liuzi, Nangong Liuming and Naxiqi, they could have won without any effort, but for some reason, the other side suddenly obtained the military maps and strategic deployment!

It was also because of this that the six sons of the Nangong family and General Nangong had to temporarily change their battle plan, and planned to divide their troops into six groups, open up the encirclement, and then reunite to launch a strike!

But they never expected that the result of dividing their troops into six groups was that they fell into the opponent's trap!

In order to achieve their plan, the six sons of the Nangong family tried their best to create a gap and allow the six troops to converge, while they each left behind a small team to delay the enemy.

When the six armies arrived at the designated location, Nangong Liuming already knew what was going on even before he saw Liuzi.

But the situation was serious at that time. Nangong Liuming did not dare to think too much and could only command the army to defeat the Xiqi army!

Although we won, it was a pyrrhic victory!

When Nangong Liuming returned from the tomb of his sixth son, Emperor Jingren was deeply distressed, so he granted Nangong Liuming a golden medal of immunity from death to show his great grace.

At this point, Huo Zhanting opened his eyes, his gaze met Shen Qinglan's, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"So, do you understand now?"

Shen Qinglan clenched his handkerchief tightly, his fingers turned white and his face was pale.

If what Huo Zhanting said is true, then what happened back then might have been caused by a traitor in the army!

However, apart from General Nangong and six junior generals, the only one who can control this map is... the person with the highest authority.

"Yes, Emperor Jingren?"

Shen Qinglan looked at Huo Zhanting with a trembling voice. Huo Zhanting smiled bitterly, nodded slightly and said nothing.

In an instant, all the doubts in Shen Qinglan's heart disappeared.

She got it!

But this truth is too cruel!

Emperor Jingren seemed to be afraid of Huo Zhanting, just like he was afraid of anyone who held heavy troops!

At that time, Huo Zhanting had not yet begun to show his talent, so the seven generals of the Nangong family were like a thorn in the side of Emperor Jingren!

Emperor Jingren wanted the Yong Dynasty to be stable, but he was afraid that the military generals would have too much power, so he had to weaken their power!

At that time, the sixth son of the Nangong family was extremely talented, and Emperor Jingren was afraid that he could not control him, so when he was about to win the battle, he gave the map to the enemy.

According to the capabilities of the soldiers under General Nangong at that time, Emperor Jingren knew that even if he gave them the map, at most it would only cause more casualties, and it would not change the outcome of victory.

However, he could take advantage of this opportunity to take the lives of those six young generals!

What Emperor Jingren wanted was definitely not a brilliant general, but an obedient chess piece that would not pose a threat to him.

General Nangong was not young at that time. As long as his son died, the Nangong family would only have a useless girl left, who would no longer be able to pose a threat to Emperor Jingren's kingdom!

The ending should have made Emperor Jingren very satisfied, but Emperor Jingren probably still felt a little guilty, so he treated the Nangong family very well.

Even the golden medal of immunity from death was just to make up for the guilt in his heart.

As for why Nangong Ze refused to return, Shen Qinglan also had some guesses.

Maybe...hate?

Perhaps he escaped by chance that year, but accidentally found out the truth, so he didn't want to come back.

But where has he been hiding for so many years? What is he planning?

"No matter whether Nangong Ze is alive or dead, for him or for General Nangong's Mansion, it is safest to stay content with the status quo."

"This is why General Nangong told us not to investigate further."

Huo Zhanting sighed and spoke, but what he felt more was the grief of the rabbit's death.

Emperor Jingren, the ruler of the world, appears to be diligent in his work and loves his people, but in reality, what he values ​​most is only his own power!

It is also because of this that he does not care about anyone's life or death!

To him, those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for him were nothing but ants, and life and death were just a matter of his thoughts.

Just like him, he once fought for the Dayong Dynasty. He was proud that he could protect the people, the soldiers, and Dayong!

But later, he gradually discovered that his loyalty and ability were not rewarded with praise from Emperor Jingren, but fear.

Huo Zhanting smiled bitterly. What was the difference between him and Nangong Liuming now?

Shen Qinglan had long known that Emperor Jingren was unkind, but she had never imagined that he could be so narrow-minded!

Just for Emperor Jingren's plan, tens of thousands of soldiers were buried in a foreign land?

Does he really feel safe sitting in that position?

Can he really sleep well every night when he wakes up in the middle of the night?

Wouldn’t that innocent dead soul really make him unable to sleep or eat?

Shen Qinglan was a little angry, and her breathing quickened. Then her eyes fell on Huo Zhanting, who looked lonely.

Finally, he looked at Huo Zhanting's legs, his eyes slightly colder.

In this life, if she had not unexpectedly married into Prince Zhan's Mansion, Huo Zhanting would have become a complete victim just like General Nangong's six sons in his most brilliant years.

Seeing Shen Qinglan's solemn expression, Huo Zhanting could not help but comfort her:

"Let's end this matter here. General Nangong asked us not to interfere, not only for the Nangong family, but also for Nangong Ze and for us."

After all, if Emperor Jingren knew that Nangong Ze was still alive, it would be hard to tell what decision he would make.

Moreover, the current peaceful situation will be completely broken.

Shen Qinglan heard this and nodded, "I know."

"It's just a pity that those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country... died unjustly!"
