When Shi Junhe saw this, he no longer hesitated and said: "As soon as I get out of trouble, I am going to support Abo. However, the people of Zhao State feel that our troops are insufficient and we will die if we go there. We have to go first." Join the reinforcements and then go to support Abo.
At that time, I had less than 500 soldiers. Although Zhao was in an alliance with our country, their unwillingness to take risks was reasonable and reasonable. I could only act according to the best plan he said. In the end, Abo led less than one soldier. Hundreds of people held back most of Liang's troops, but they still didn't wait for our rescue... "
At the end of his words, his voice became hoarse, and regret, helplessness, and pain filled the whole room.
But what can be done
Shi Junhe could help his friends even at the risk of his own life, but as the commander of the first army, he had no arbitrary power. The so-called best plan sometimes meant sacrifice.
Wen Renchi also fell silent. If he still had some unwavering trust in Shi Junhe, it was that he believed that the other party would not lie to him no matter what.
So he believed what Shi Junhe said.
But if it was really as Shi Junhe said, who had he to blame Shi Junhe? In such a crisis situation, Shi Junhe has only one choice - it would be the same for Wen Renbo - this is the choice of a soldier!
Did he really blame Shi Junhe wrongly
Is Wen Renbo's death really just an accident
Wen Renchi stumbled and leaned against the door, his expression painful and tangled, unable to accept such a result.
Shi Qingxue quickly grabbed Wen Renchi and asked with concern: "Brother, are you okay? Don't be sad..."
Wen Renchi forced a smile back, trying to say that he was fine, but he was too tired to even open his mouth.
"No, things are not clear enough."
Shi Qingxue suddenly shouted something, and her words successfully diverted the attention of the other two men. They all looked at her with doubts on their faces.
She rolled her eyes, as if she was organizing words, and after a while she said slowly: "Under the circumstances at that time, it was impossible for my grandmother to travel all the way from Kyoto to deliver the letter to my father."
Shi Junhe thought for a while and nodded.
Indeed, if I could have sent a letter at that time, there would have been no breakout at all, and I would have just written a letter asking for help.
"So..." Shi Qingxue thought for a moment and said, "If this letter is not forged, it should have been given by my grandmother to Butler He before the expedition. It was just by mistake that the letter got into the hands of my brother."
The two men were silent at the same time, immersed in the explanation given by Shi Qingxue.
After a while, Shi Junhe frowned and asked, "So what?"
Shi Qingxue blinked and said meaningfully: "Butler He didn't hand the letter into your hands, but that doesn't mean he didn't do anything."
"What do you mean?" Wen Renchi asked hastily, as if all his anger had found a breakthrough.
Qingxue quickly patted the back of his hand and comforted him softly: "I'm just making a guess, but I still have to wait until I ask Butler He to find out the details!"
Wen Renchi frowned and looked at Shi Junhe: "Given He Jun's current position in the Shifu and it's been so many years, will he be able to tell if we ask him?"
Shi Qingxue smiled slyly: "Of course we won't tell if we ask, but the letter was originally meant for dad. If dad asks, he will definitely tell."
After saying that, she winked at Shi Junhe, "Daddy should know how to ask questions effectively, right?" Shi Junhe had a gloomy face, not knowing what he was thinking, but facing the expectant eyes of the two juniors, he still called Go and call He Jun to the study.
Seeing that the two of them had no intention of leaving, he added, "Go and wait in the cubicle. You are not allowed to come out without my order."
Shi Qingxue agreed obediently, and without anyone rushing around, she quickly pulled Wen Renchi and hid in the back cubicle to eavesdrop.
Move quickly and know the road well.
Shi Junhe smiled helplessly, but his heart was heavy.
He Jun, the current steward of the Shi family, is now almost sixty years old. He was injured and retired from the Shi family army. Shi Lei took pity on him and left him to work in the Shiguo Duke's mansion. Shi Junhe never treated him badly. Seeing that he was steady and steady, he even let him take over the position of the old housekeeper.
He Jun got the order and came quickly.
Although he was much older than Shi Junhe, he was still very respectful to Shi Junhe, like a master and servant, and he still retained the respect of superiors and subordinates in the army.
Shi Junhe stared at He Jun, and without beating around the bush, he directly spread the letter in front of He Jun and asked, "Have you seen this?"
At first, He Jun thought that the master wanted him to report because of the government's accounts, so he reached over confidently.
When he saw the contents of the letter clearly, the old man's face suddenly changed color and his whole person froze.
Shi Junhe no longer needed to ask any more questions, he just said: "Tell me about this!"
He Jun looked at Shi Junhe hesitantly and hesitated for a long time without saying anything.
Shi Junhe was not impatient and said calmly: "Old He, you should know my temper after so many years with me. I attach great importance to the veterans my father left me, and I usually indulge you a lot, but I only ask One point - loyalty, if you can't guarantee even this, then there is no need for you to stay in Shifu!"
"No, Master!" He Jun was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. "I am absolutely loyal to the Shi family and to you. I have never had any dissent. Please be careful, Master!"
Shi Junhe slapped the letter on the table without saying a word.
When He Jun saw this, he knew that this matter could not be hidden, so he confessed honestly: "I forgive you, sir. It's not that I don't want to confess. In fact, it was the eldest princess who confessed this matter, and there is nothing I can do about it!"
Shi Junhe sat up straight and stared at He Jun closely: "Tell me, what is going on? If you explain the matter clearly, then considering your contribution to the Shi family, I can let this matter go. But If I find out that there is any falsehood, then don’t blame me for being cold-blooded and ruthless!”
With a stick and a date, He Jun tremblingly explained everything that happened sixteen years ago.
Things were just as Shi Qingxue guessed: the letter was given by Mo Shujun to He Jun before the expedition, asking He Jun to hand it over to Shi Junhe at a critical moment and act according to the requirements in the letter. He Jun knew that Mo Shujun wanted Shi Junhe to get rid of Wen Renbo and gain complete control of the Shi family army. However, based on his understanding of Shi Junhe, it would be useless even if the letter was handed over to Shi Junhe. Instead, it would cause trouble between the mother and son. of estrangement. So he kept it in without calling him out until he was trapped in the old city, and Shi Junhe took the initiative to stay and die.
As the savior, He Jun secretly leaked the information to Liang State that Shi Junhe led his army to break out and asked for help. The Liang State army besieged Shi Jiajun because they wanted Shi Junhe's life. As expected, the enemy army spent most of its troops in pursuit and suppression. The breakout army gave the Shi family army defending the city a glimmer of hope. But He Jun lost the letter in the middle of this. He was afraid that Mo Shujun would blame him, so he simply initiated the 'task' himself. He secretly told the Zhao army that they still had reinforcements elsewhere. As expected, the Zhao army, who was afraid of death, asked Shi Junhe to gather the reinforcements first and then go to support, so Wen Renbo did not wait for rescue in the end.
After saying these words, He Jun knew that Shi Junhe would definitely be angry, and he kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Master, everything I did was for you. Even if there is no credit, it is hard work. Please see that I am working hard. For so many years of dedication to our family, let me spare this time!"
Shi Junhe remained silent and expressionless, but he could not hide the horror in his heart. His whole body was shaking and his teeth were chattering. He gritted his teeth to prevent his emotions from leaking out.
He never thought that what happened back then would have such an inside story - he didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of him - he already felt guilty for not being able to rescue him in time and causing Wenren Bo's death.
But that was just an accident. He adopted Wen Renchi just to make up for the guilt in his heart, but now he was told that the so-called accident was not that unexpected. It was also the work of his subordinates and his mother, which had nothing to do with his death. What's the difference between Wenrenbo and Wenrenbo
Wen Renchi in the cubicle was also shocked by the truth revealed by He Jun. After the shock, he was filled with raging anger. If Shi Qingxue hadn't been holding him tightly, he could have rushed out and understood He Jun outside with a sword.
"Brother, calm down, you can't do anything here." Shi Qingxue was also angry, but in this situation, Wen Renchi really couldn't explain anything as soon as he did it. She absolutely couldn't let this happen. things happen.
Wen Renchi's eyes turned red and he threw away Shi Qingxue's hand. The force was so strong that Qingxue hit the corner of the table behind him heavily, making a loud noise.
Everyone in the study was shocked. He Jun looked at the cubicle with vigilance and whispered in a rough voice: "Who's in there."
I just want to rush in.
Shi Junhe came back to his senses and stopped the person, "There is no one there, maybe the strong wind blew the table over."
Others: "..." I literally didn't even draft a lie.
But He Jun had no right to speak, and all of Wen Renchi's attention was attracted by the pain on Shi Qingxue's face.
Qingxue gritted her teeth in pain and groaned, but her little hands still held tightly on Wen Renchi's clothes to prevent him from acting impulsively.
Wen Renchi had no choice but to hold Qingxue's little hand and promised in a low voice: "I won't go out, please let me see how your injury is doing?"
Now, he wasn't worried about whether He Jun outside noticed what he was eavesdropping on. He just wanted to check Shi Qingxue's injury.
But the little girl was very stubborn and cunning. When he calmed down, her little hands holding the clothes changed from two to one, and the other little hand was tightly covering her waist.
While baring his teeth to dodge, he still refused to let Wen Renchi see him, "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all."
Wen Renchi: "..." His little face was almost distorted, and he said it didn't hurt.
But he knew the reason why Qingxue refused to let him see the injury. Although he blamed himself, he did not force Qingxue. He just took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and stuffed it into Qingxue's hand. "This medicine is very effective for bruises." , if you don’t let me see the injury, you can apply the medicine yourself first.”
"Oh!" Shi Qingxue took the medicine and didn't move.
Wen Renchi said again: "Apply the medicine now."
Shi Qingxue stared, as if to say: Are you kidding me
Wen Renchi ignored her and when he heard Shi Junhe driving He Jun out of the study, he opened the curtain and went out.
