Su Tang began to deal with the problems encountered by the servants when handling the funeral of Duke Pei. At the same time, Orange Cat followed Pei Xuan into the study of the Governor's Mansion.
There, more than a dozen guard generals were already waiting here. When they saw Pei Xuan coming, these people had different expressions. Some of them had red eyes and could not hide their sadness, while others were silent, or seemed low-key but had hidden calculations. .
"Your Majesty!" Although their expressions were different, when they saw Pei Xuan entering the door, they still saluted politely. They never addressed him as Young Master, but addressed him as the Crown Prince in a serious manner.
"Everyone, please get up!" Pei Xuan helped the guard who had gray hair, was older than his father and the most trusted guard to stand up.
His face was cold and solemn. Although he had rested for three hours, there were still red bloodshot eyes. He was dressed in white linen mourning clothes. The veteran who was helped up by him shed tears when he saw him like this. "The prince is finally here, General, he Seeing the prince like this will definitely make him happy."
The veteran has been following Pei Guogong in the war since he was a child. He looks at Pei Xuan as if he were his own nephew. Seeing him step up and take on everything. Although he is sad that Pei Guogong passed away like this, he is also pleased with Pei Xuan's growth.
Pei Xuan looked at the veteran who had cared for him like an elder since he was a child. He kept his strong expression and couldn't bear to be moved, but he soon became serious again.
He can no longer regard himself as a child with his father protecting him. He is the eldest son of Pei Guogong, and the future Pei Guogong must support himself.
"I invite you here today because I want to ask you clearly. My father went to war. Even at the worst time of the Northwest battlefield, he was deep behind enemy lines and never suffered such serious injuries. What exactly happened? Please follow me carefully. Distinguish it."
Pei Xuan looked around at these people and then spoke directly.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up angrily, "What does Master Shizi mean by this? Does it mean we killed the general?"
"I haven't finished speaking yet. Why should Zhou Shen be anxious? I just want to know who the enemy my father was fighting against at that time. Since the other party killed my father, of course I, as a heir, cannot let it go. I must let him go." The person who harmed my father has to pay for the lives of his entire family in order to relieve the hatred in my heart. Does Zhou Shenjiang think what I say makes sense?"
Seeing someone suddenly jumping out like this, Pei Xuan stared at him closely, talking about the enemy in her mouth, but she seemed to have some intention.
Even though the army was full of rough guys, those who were careless on the battlefield would have died long ago. Naturally, everyone understood what Pei Xuan meant.
But he couldn't refute anything. After all, Pei Xuan was talking about the enemy, and as a descendant, he suddenly knew that his father died in the battle. It was not unreasonable to want to know what happened and get to the bottom of the matter.
"I learned a little bit about it in advance. My father sent out troops that day, and the people who followed him were General Zhou and General Yang. I don't know if I got it wrong."
Pei Xuan saw that after she finished speaking, she told General Zhou to shut up. She sat down calmly, looked at General Zhou and a young guard, and asked directly.
He didn't have much time, so he had to catch the person as quickly as possible. If such a scourge was not caught, it would kill his father and harm him in the future. Su Tang gave him a list of possible names in advance, and he also had one in advance. He knew it, so when he saw Zhou Shen standing up impulsively, he directly used him as an opening and started to question him.
