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

In Nangong Ze's heart, General Nangong and Nangong Mingyue are still alive and well, living in the capital, which is a comfort to him.

But what about General Nangong and Nangong Mingyue?

How could they feel at peace knowing that their six sons and six brothers were all dead?

Nangong Ze heard this, smiled bitterly and said:

"Yeah, how can it be good..."

Nangong Ze sat on the railing beside him, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

Shen Qinglan looked at Nangong Ze, was silent for a while, and couldn't help asking:

"What happened back then?"

What happened that made Nangong Ze prefer to fake his death rather than come back?

Although Shen Qinglan had some guesses, he didn't know the details.

If Sister Nangong asked about it after returning to Beijing, Shen Qinglan would always want to say more.

Nangong Ze lowered his eyes, seeming to be struggling, but ultimately he couldn't help himself.

For so many years, I have been holding this anger in my heart and unable to vent it.

He didn't dare to say it, didn't want to say it, and didn't want to say it.

But at this time, Nangong Ze wanted to say something.

In fact, it was not much different from what Shen Qinglan had guessed.

At that time, there was absolutely no problem with General Nangong's deployment. General Nangong lured the enemy, pretending to be unable to resist and then put up a stubborn resistance.

The remaining six men will each lead their troops to encircle the enemy from several directions, and they will definitely be defeated by attacking them from both sides.

Nangong Ze and his eldest brother were assigned together. Among the six Nangong sons, Nangong Ze had an impulsive temperament, and only his eldest brother could suppress him a little.

That day, Nangong Ze discovered that someone was following them, but his eldest brother said that the overall situation was more important and they had to meet up with others as soon as possible to form a siege!

They successfully formed a siege, but they didn't expect that someone among their own people would show their claws on the battlefield!

Those people were the ones who had been following and monitoring them. They changed their clothes, took the opportunity to get close to Nangong Liuzi, and seriously injured Nangong Liuzi one by one.

On the battlefield, any injury can be fatal at any time!

Nangong Ze was able to survive purely because of luck, as the fatal knife missed his heart.

When he woke up, there was only blood and corpses everywhere.

"My eldest brother was shot by hundreds of arrows. There is not a single piece of intact flesh on his body."

"My second brother was cut in half."

"My third brother, only his head is left, his body is long gone."

"My fourth brother's hands and feet were all cut off, and there is no complete body left."

"My fifth brother's eyes were gouged out and his body was hacked hundreds of times. He was almost reduced to pulp."

"And I...I survived."

When Nangong Ze woke up, General Nangong had already been injured and was taken away. He had not had time to come back to collect the body.

So Nangong Ze saw the miserable conditions of his relatives one by one!

Although he has a lively personality, he is also smart.

At that moment, Nangong Ze understood that someone didn't want the Nangong family to live!

Just ask, who can know the layout and strategy of their Nangong family? Except for the person above, there is no other way.

Nangong Ze knew that if he were alive, the superiors would probably be unable to sleep or eat well, so he simply fabricated the news that he was dead in order to reassure the superiors.

As long as Nangong Liuzi is dead, the people above will no longer attack his father and sister.

After all, his father and mother had always loved each other and had never had concubines in the backyard. Now they were old and it was impossible for them to have children.

As for my younger sister, as a woman, she poses less threat to those in power. As long as she gets married, those in power will no longer keep an eye on her.

In order to ensure their survival, Nangong Ze did not dare to meet them or even look at them again.

When Nangong Ze said this, his eyes turned red.

As Shen Qinglan listened to Nangong Ze's words, a layer of mist appeared in her eyes.

Yes.

Just because of the suspicion and fear of those in power, do the people below have to die?

Shen Qinglan silently raised the wine jug and lightly touched Nangong Ze's wine jug.

After the crisp sound, Shen Qinglan said seriously:

"Then why did you agree to lend me troops to help the king?"

Logically speaking, Nangong Ze should hate Emperor Jingren to death. Even if Emperor Jingren really died, he would probably clap his hands in joy.

But now, Nangong Ze not only agreed to let her wait until tomorrow noon, but was also willing to lend her troops.

Shen Qinglan knew that although those 30,000 soldiers might not seem like a large number, they were the maximum number of troops that the Pingxi Army had tried to deploy in order to protect the front line.

Nangong Ze drank the wine jug in his hand, clenched his fingers tightly, and his fingertips turned white, as if he was holding back something, and said:

"He is not a wise ruler, but the world must have an emperor, right? If he dies, the court will be in chaos, and the world will be plunged into bloodshed again."

"This is not what I want to see, and it's not what my brothers want to see, and besides..."

Nangong Ze looked towards the direction of the capital, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he murmured:

"My father and sister are there. I hope they are still alive."

Even though he himself cannot stand in the sun, he still hopes that his father and sister are well.

Shen Qinglan looked at Nangong Ze, slowly stood up, bowed to Nangong Ze and said solemnly:

"General Nangong Ze, everyone must pay the price for what he has done, even the emperor who is high above us, so..."

"I ask you to come back to the capital with me this time. I will let you see the truth come out and the wronged souls rest in peace."

Nangong Ze stared at the woman in front of him in a daze. She was strong and tenacious, not at all like the fragile dodder flowers in the capital.

She is brave and resourceful. She dares to travel thousands of miles to seek help. It is really unusual.

Nangong Ze remained silent, not knowing whether he should agree or not.

Shen Qinglan said, "Sixth brother! My foster father and sister are waiting for you to come home."

The call of "Sixth Brother" seemed to awaken Nangong Ze's long-forgotten memories.

In his memories, the girl liked to play tricks on him every time, but she always failed. Whenever she failed, she would inevitably call out “Sixth Brother” pitifully.

Nangong Ze was in a trance for a long time, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "You..."

"Sister Nangong recognized me as her adopted sister, and I also went to General Nangong's mansion to recognize my family. General Nangong has acknowledged my status as his adopted daughter, so, Sixth Brother, do you acknowledge me?"

Shen Qinglan stretched out her hand towards Nangong Ze with a burning gaze. Nangong Ze looked at Shen Qinglan's outstretched hand with mixed feelings.

After a long while, Nangong Ze carefully held Shen Qinglan's hand and said in a hoarse voice:

"The sister Mingyue recognizes is naturally also my sister."

After a pause, Nangong Ze said solemnly: "Go home!"

Shen Qinglan knew that Nangong Ze promised to go back with her, and she smiled immediately.

That smile is as bright and warm as the spring day in March, and it brings peace of mind to see it.

Shen Qinglan thought, if Sister Nangong and General Nangong saw that she brought Nangong Ze back, they would probably be very happy, right?

She can't wait!

As for what the Nangong family had suffered, she would definitely make Emperor Jingren pay the price.

What she was desperately trying to save this time was not Emperor Jingren, not the throne, but the common people of the world!
