"Sir,
Are we going to the northeast camp? "Li Xiao sat on the side of the carriage,
She turned her head to ask Chen Jue.
"No,
We'll take a detour to Yunning County City first, "Chen Jue said.
Chen Jue sat in the middle of the carriage,
Facing the front.
Li Xiao sat on the side of the carriage to his right,
She seemed to be very well-behaved.
Because Zhang Tang was sitting opposite Li Xiao — although this civil official had a horse,
It was a long journey,
He couldn't stand it anymore.
He had to sit in the carriage with Chen Jue and Li Xiao.
At this moment,
He felt very uncomfortable.
Perhaps it could be said that he had been uncomfortable for a long time — he hadn't felt so uncomfortable in the past,
Now, the relationship between Lord Chen and Li Xiao had become even more ambiguous,
He sat here,
It was especially uncomfortable.
Especially..,
Lord Chen often ignored him when he spoke. He did not hide his disdain for him at all, which made Zhang Tang even more annoyed.
But it was not good for him to take a carriage alone on such a long journey.
He suddenly began to wonder if he was unnecessary..
Maybe... he shouldn't have come..
Sob, sob, sob.
"Why are we going to Yunning County City?" Li Xiao tilted her head,
She looked at Chen Jue with a pair of tender eyes.
She was so young, but she was already beautiful.
"We're going to Yunning County City to meet someone." Chen Jue turned to look at Li Xiao,
Although there was no smile on his face, Yan Zhuozhuo was exceptionally focused.
It was as if in his eyes,
He could only accommodate Li Xiao.
"..." Zhang Tang turned his head to the side in pain.
What a sin!
What a sin!
..
The next morning,
The carriage finally arrived at Yunning County City.
When Li Xiao got off the carriage,
Her entire body was light as a feather.
This time, their team received a military order and headed all the way to their destination.
The speed of the entire team increased a lot.
Chen Jue had to support her so that she could walk in a straight line as if she was stepping on cotton.
The little girl didn't feel bitter at all. Instead, she looked at Chen Jue and smiled.
Looking at Li Xiao like this, he felt a little distressed.
Perhaps ever since he had opened up his heart, he felt like he was in love no matter what she did.
Could this be … love?
The group settled down. After a simple wash up, Chen Jue led the group to another inn.
He had received news early in the morning that the man was staying in an inn in Yunning County Town.
Li Xiao wore a hat and followed behind Chen Jue as if he was the most ordinary servant.
However, she was too slender and graceful.
Occasionally, she would raise her head and look at Lord Chen's back in the sunlight.
A tall figure shrouded in golden light.
She would feel reassured and … satisfied.
As long as she reached out her hand, she would be able to touch him.
Her fingers moved slightly, and a breeze flowed around them.
She couldn't help but look down at her fingers. Since the day she met Li … Father …
She had another ability — she could control the wind.
She had reason to believe that her father's blood could help people awaken their abilities.
Her ability to predict the future was only one of the abilities in her body.
The other ability was in a dormant state. Her father's blood could stimulate the ability and wake it up.
These days, she had been wondering … if Su King was also her enemy.
And there were still people around Ban Xia who were her enemies …
These people who suddenly had abilities were all awakened by her father's blood.
Father … His ability should be to wake up the dormant ability in the body of the psychic.
For revenge …
He … he didn't know about her existence at first.
It was because of this that Lord Chen said that her brother … might still be alive!
The people who took her brother away were her uncle, Min Zhao, and her father, Li Ru.
This was why she was still in a good mood these days, even though she was busy traveling.
Now, she had Lord Chen, her father, and her brother.
She already knew who her father was. She was no longer the ignorant child she used to be.
Her father's name was Li Ru. He was a very knowledgeable person with a psychic ability. He was invited by Jing Bei Hou to teach in the capital.
…
Lord Chen brought her to an inn. It was much simpler than the one they were staying in.
It had two courtyards and two floors. As many rooms as possible were arranged for the guests.
Chen Jue brought her to a private room on the first floor. Wang Yi left after Lord Chen nodded.
Li Xiao turned to look at Lord Chen and guessed the purpose of this trip.
But with her little brain, it was very difficult for her to guess who Lord Chen was.
As they sipped their tea, they finally waited for the guest they were going to meet.
When the old man walked into the private room in plain clothes, Li Xiao was in a daze.
Because the moment the old man saw her at the door, he froze on the spot and could not move anymore.
Did she know him?
He was a complete stranger …
"Min … Min … No … He's too young …" the old man muttered. After a long time, he continued to move towards the table. However, when his gaze landed on Li Xiao's face, it seemed to be glued to her and could not be retracted.
Chen Jue's eyes had been fixed on the old man's face since he entered the room.
However, he did not need to think much to determine that his and Zhang Tang's thoughts were right.
Not only did everything surface, but it was also verified.
If there was anyone in this world who knew about the Min family's case and could recognize the Min family, other than Zhang Minglei and the others, it would be this person in front of him.
Liu Zheng, Liu The Grand Secretary, was once the person in charge of the Min family's case.
The Min family's financial statistics were personally supervised by Liu The Grand Secretary.
Back then, Min Zhao and Min Zheng were also released by Liu The Grand Secretary. This was a secret that many people in the capital knew but had never revealed.
It was also because Liu The Grand Secretary saved the Min siblings that Chen Jue brought Li Xiao to see him.
"Liu The Grand Secretary," Chen Jue asked after Liu Zheng sat down.
Liu Zheng waved his hand and looked at Li Xiao's face. Nostalgia and some complicated emotions appeared on his face.
"He's already retired. He's just an old man in the countryside."
Liu Zheng sighed and muttered, "I never thought … I never thought … I would meet a descendant of the Min family …"
Li Xiao licked her lips and finally understood. She looked at Chen Jue and after meeting his eyes, she understood.
At this moment, she could ask all the questions she wanted to ask.
"Grandpa Liu," Li Xiao hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Liu Zheng's expression was slightly embarrassed. The wrinkles on his face wrinkled even more. "I … I … I …"
Even though he was only following the emperor's orders, he was the one who went to raid the Min Residence back then. He was the one who supervised the execution of the entire family …
He … he …
Other than waving his hand hard, he did not know how to respond to Li Xiao's greeting.
His heart was not only sour, but also at a loss.
The reason why he retired was precisely because the deaths of Liu Tianping and the others made him feel that the matter back then was starting to be settled.
He still wanted to have a peaceful old age, so he wanted to quickly leave the capital, which was a place of trouble.
He did not expect to be chased here.
He pursed his lips and sighed. He looked at Chen Jue and asked, "Is my lifespan coming to an end?"
The corners of Chen Jue's mouth twitched indifferently. "Thank you for your righteous actions back then and letting the descendants of the Min Family live."
Liu Zheng sneered and shook his head. "I originally wanted to save them, but once they were saved, they were out of my control.
The next day, the two children disappeared as if … they had turned into air.
I've been in the capital for many years, but I still can't find out who took the two children away … "
"I only know that Mother was saved by Father.
But Uncle … Father only found him in the past one or two years. "Li Xiao told him everything she knew. She looked at Liu Zheng, wanting to know more.
…
After meeting Li Xiao and Chen Jue, Liu Zheng left Yunning County City overnight and changed his route with his family's convoy.
At this critical moment, he always hoped that the world would completely forget about him and not look for him again.
Chen Jue obtained the information he wanted. He knew that some evidence for the Min Family's case was definitely in the hands of Zhao Zhifang and Liu Tianping.
The Min Family's case involved a lot of things. They seemed to be working together and standing on the Third Prince's side, looking forward to the day that the Third Prince would be the crown prince.
However, everyone still had their own plans. If the Min Family's case was overturned, they had to have evidence that pointed to the other party to exonerate themselves and let their 'teammates' take the blame.
These evidence that they kept for self-protection would become important evidence that Chen Jue wanted to overturn the Min Family's case.
Therefore, when Chen Jue left Yunning County City with Li Xiao and the others, countless carrier pigeons flew towards different people in the capital.
Liu Tianping's residence, Zhao Zhifang's residence, and Su King's residence had to be searched again.
Including all their secret letters and personal belongings, they would have to go deeper and search.
Chen Jue and Zhang Tang discussed for a long time and agreed that if Zhao Zhifang and Liu Tianping had secret letters, the culprit in the letters must be Peng Tao. This person was not in the capital but had military power.
If something happened, he would be the one who attracted the most attention.
It was just a convenient thing to push all the blame to General Peng Tao.
The carriage went all the way north towards General Peng's camp.
The military provisions had been collected in Beiping for many days. The Chaozhou County Magistrate, who was in charge of the transportation of the provisions, had received the imperial envoy's position and had already arrived in Beiping.
He held a pot of wine every day and stood at the gate of Beiping, looking forward to Chen Jue's arrival.
Lord Chen, he, Qiu Sihai, was just a lowly county magistrate. He couldn't take on this job.
If he didn't do it well, he might offend General Peng and be strung to death on the bed in the northern territory. Even the Emperor couldn't do anything about it.
