Chapter 167 I recognize my husband as my elder brother 27
Many displaced people of Yu Kingdom began to kneel in front of the palace of the prince of Yu Kingdom, requesting that Hong Yanshan be handed over.
Originally, under the suppression of the prince's force, these refugees had calmed down. However, at this time, news came that Gu Chengyuan had captured another city of Yu Kingdom. Now, those people in the capital who were relatively safe could not help but become afraid. At the speed of the Great Zhou's attack, it was only a matter of time before the capital was captured.
As a result, the prince could no longer suppress the rebellion. The people of Yu State demanded that Hong Yanshan must be handed over so that the Great Zhou could withdraw its troops and restore peace to their Yu State.
Hong Yanshan was in the army camp of Yu Kingdom, reading the secret letter from the Grand Prince. When she learned about this, she was so angry that she tore the letter into pieces. These ignorant people who were afraid of death, she was fighting in the front, but they were begging her to go to Gu Chengyuan and die.
So she quickly told the people of Yu Kingdom that Gu Chengyuan wanted her to die, and although she was not afraid of death, if she died, she would not be able to protect Yu Kingdom.
She thought that if she did so, the people of Yu would give up. However, the people of Yu did not buy it at all. They all believed that Gu Chengyuan did not say he wanted to kill Hong Yanshan, although it was obvious that they were also deceiving themselves.
The people of Yu Country thought in their hearts, even if the other party wanted Hong Yanshan to die, if her death could bring peace to Yu Country, then what's wrong with her dying? Besides, they will remember her forever, and her death can be passed down through the ages, so isn't it a worthy death?
So Hong Yanshan was suddenly overwhelmed. She kept dealing with the Great Zhou army led by Gu Chengyuan and the people of Yu Kingdom, and was exhausted both physically and mentally.
On the other side, the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion.
Si Ying looked at Hong Yanshan's current situation with satisfaction, which made her make countless calculations to see what she could do to break the current situation.
Unless she wins a battle right now and defeats the Great Zhou army, the people of Yu Kingdom will not listen to anything she says.
But obviously Hong Yanshan couldn't do that, because she was once again beaten by Gu Chengyuan and fled the city, and the Yu Kingdom lost another city.
Si Ying smiled with satisfaction.
Then she got up and went to find the Duke of Zhenguo.
Si Ying got straight to the point and asked, "Father, I am not actually your and mother's child. I can sense that mother doesn't like me at all."
"Only you and your brother are nice to me." Si Ying said.
The Duke of Zhenguo was silent for a long time, then he sighed and said, "Indeed, you are not the child of your mother and me. You are actually the son of my best friend. We originally wanted you to be engaged to Yuan'er, and later asked him to find you as agreed. Unexpectedly, you two accidentally recognized each other as brother and sister. Alas~"
"At that time, Yuan'er wrote back saying that your uncle Ming had passed away, and you were the only one left. Since we had mistaken each other for siblings, I thought about making you my daughter. No matter what, our Zhenguo Mansion is your home. Alas..."
The Duke of Zhenguo seemed to have no idea what to say except sighing. He really loved the original owner, but compared to his own children, the original owner still had to take a back seat.
The original owner didn't ask him to care about and love her before Gu Chengyuan and Gu Xinting, so Si Ying didn't care what the Duke of Zhenguo thought in his heart. She just wanted to know about the original owner's father.
So she asked, "Can you tell me about my biological parents and why they died?"
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at Si Ying and asked tentatively, "Did your uncle Ming say anything to you?"
As expected, Si Ying had already guessed that he would ask this question. "Uncle Ming said some things, including the things about him and my mother growing up together. I used to think that the mother in Uncle Ming's memory was the Duke's wife... until I went to the Misty Forest where they lived since childhood... I already knew a lot of things there, so I would like you to tell me the truth of everything."
When the Duke of Zhenguo heard Si Ying say that they went to the Misty Forest, his expression changed. That place was extremely dangerous, and Si Ying actually dared to go in. He was worried, but then he thought that Si Ying was fine now, so there must be no problem.
Since she was able to enter the Misty Forest, she must know most of it. There was no point in hiding it any longer. The Duke of Zhenguo sighed, saying that everything was God's will. He recalled the past and told the story.
It was similar to what Si Ying had guessed. The young and competitive Duke Zhenguo led an army to chase the fleeing Yu soldiers, but was unexpectedly surrounded by the Yu army that had been lying in ambush there. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Liu Yanshu, who had not seen him return for a long time, was worried and came out with a small team of people to find him who was trapped.
They fought desperately, but there were too many soldiers from the Yu Kingdom. Then Liu Yanshu ordered all the remaining soldiers to surround the Duke of Zhenguo and fight their way out to cover his retreat, while he ran in another direction. Then he was forced to enter the misty forest.
Then he was rescued by Yao Jiuyuan in the forest and brought back to the wooden house. Later, they fell in love with each other, and Liu Yanshu and Yao Jiming also hit it off at first sight. So Yao Jiuyuan and Yao Jiming, who were good at martial arts, joined the Great Zhou army and led troops to fight the enemy with Liu Yanshu.
Later, the then Duke Zhenguo also became sworn brothers with Uncle Ming, Liu Yanshu and the other two.
"At that time, your father and his friends teased me, saying that I was the matchmaker between him and your mother." The Duke of Zhenguo seemed to recall the happy times when they were good friends in the past, and looked at Si Ying with soft eyes, "Unfortunately, later..."
Unfortunately, later on, Yao Jiuyuan accidentally met the Emperor of Yu Kingdom. She was the eldest princess of Yu Kingdom who disappeared many years ago. Originally, this matter was very secret, and Yao Jiuyuan did not want to go back to be the eldest princess of Yu Kingdom, but somehow it got to the ears of the Emperor of Da Zhou.
And it seemed as if someone was controlling things from behind. Word spread among the people of the Great Zhou that General Liu Yanshu of the Great Zhou was in collusion with Princess Yu. The matter became more and more serious among the people, and soon the Emperor of the Great Zhou issued an imperial decree, requiring Liu Yanshu to kill his wife to show his loyalty.
At that time, Liu Yanshu never expected that the Emperor of Great Zhou would be so cruel and ruthless, and he did not even appreciate his many years of contributions in fighting for Great Zhou.
Just at this time, the Emperor of Yu sent a secret letter through someone, saying that his condition had worsened, he had not much time left, and he wanted to see his daughter again.
On the one hand, there was the coercion of the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and on the other hand, the biological father was critically ill. Finally, the original owner's parents decided to leave the Great Zhou and go to the Kingdom of Yu to see the emperor for the last time, and then retire back to the Misty Forest.
However, on the way, the original owner's mother gave birth prematurely. Not long after giving birth to the original owner, they were ambushed by a mysterious organization. The couple fought desperately with the other side. When Uncle Ming and Duke Zhenguo arrived, they saw the couple covered in blood. Later, they caught the group of men in black, but they bit the poison in their mouths and committed suicide.
Uncle Ming took away the original owner who was protected by the couple desperately. Because he had an engagement with Duke Zhenguo, Uncle Ming agreed on a date with Duke Zhenguo, which led to Gu Chengyuan's later search for the original owner.
The Duke of Zhenguo recalled the scene of his good friend covered in blood and his wife dying in battle. His eyes welled up, "Alas, your parents are pitiful. They defended their country and made a name for themselves throughout their lives."
