Qi Wangshan looked away from Yan Zhilan, and landed on the mottled tabletop in front of him. This red lacquer carved wooden table was also old like him.

After a long time, he said to Yan Zhilan who was standing below: "You guessed right, the truth on that file was deliberately erased by Gu."

Qi Jing didn't understand: "Why?"

Qi Wangshan took a deep look at him, and said: "This matter is related to the two worlds, so I have to be cautious. There are still remnants of evil in the devil world. If it is known to the world, it will inevitably bring unpredictable consequences. I can't take the whole big month. Make a bet. Gu, I can't afford to lose."

Qi Jing understood the truth, but he still felt a little uncomfortable: "That can't obliterate the existence of General Shen Shuo? Besides, General Shen Shuo died for the sake of the moon. He is a hero and a martyr. Accept the incense offerings of future generations, instead of being buried in the file, and the nameless die like this."

On the way before he came, he had already thought of the reason why Yan Zhilan was so angry suddenly. It was fine if his relatives died for the country, and they were not chased after death. Even his name and existence were wiped out. If it was him, I can't accept it either.

Qi Wangshan stared at his stupid son with hatred, and almost vomited blood angrily. Yan Zhilan didn't say anything, but he turned his elbows out first, and jumped out to fight the injustice.His father is still there, but Yan Zhilan has been so fascinated by him that he can't tell the difference. If he is gone in the future and no one controls him, wouldn't he be even more unscrupulous and lawless?

Qi Jing didn't know what his old father was thinking, but somehow felt that Qi Wangshan's face suddenly turned ugly, but he had long been used to the other party's temper faster than turning the book, so he asked again: "Why?"

Qi Wangshan is no longer as simple as wanting to vomit blood, he just wants to stuff this naughty child back into his mother's stomach.At the same time, I felt sad and desolate, thinking that he had worked hard all his life, no credit but hard work, why did God treat him so unfairly and only leave him as a rebellious son, Qi Jing?If there were other sons, he would never have fallen into the situation he is now, with a heart that he can't stop worrying about when he is old.

Qi Jing watched his father's face change from green to white, obviously caught in his own emotions, and seeing that he couldn't calm down for a while, he quietly poked Yan Zhilan beside him: "You Were you angry because of this just now? I asked you all, don't worry, listen to what your father has to say. My father is not a fool who doesn't know right from wrong, and he must have his reasons for doing so."

Yan Zhilan looked at him indistinctly, Qi Jing's eyes were bright, as if hiding countless stars, his heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Qi Wangshan's warning cough.

"Cough-cough-"

Qi Wangshan withdrew from his thoughts, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the two people below looking at each other affectionately, and he choked up.

These two brats don't take him seriously!

He coughed twice, attracting the attention of the two of them, and slowly told the truth that he had found that year.

"In the 13th year of Minghe, there was a riot in northern Xinjiang, and the remnants of the demon world came back. General Shen Shuo was the first to discover the anomaly, so he sneaked into the enemy camp alone to check for information. At the same time, he sent a message to Guzao with a sound transmission talisman, reminding Guzao to take precautions."

"Gu was young and vigorous at that time, and when he heard that the forces of the demon world still remained, he sent a message to General Shen Shuo, be sure to wipe them all out, even if all the power of the whole country is spent, he will not hesitate."

"General Shen Shuo went deep into the enemy's army alone. A few months later, he sent a letter to Gu, talking about the children born from the union of humans and demons. His words were quite sympathetic and pitiful. He even asked Gu's meaning on the sidelines. , how to deal with these children.”

"I'm lonely and arrogant, and I only want to kill the grass without leaving the roots to prevent future troubles, so I replied to him with the words 'cut and kill'."

"After a long time, General Shen Shuo wrote back to Yu Gu, saying that 'everything is going well'."

"I was happily waiting for the good news from General Shen Shuo. I didn't expect—"

Recalling that time when he suddenly heard the news of Shen Shuo's death, Qi Wangshan's heart seemed to be held tightly by someone, and he couldn't breathe.For the next few years, whenever he thought of General Shen Shuo who had no bones left, he could not sleep at night and blamed himself endlessly.If he had noticed earlier and ordered Shen Shuo to withdraw in time, the ending would not have been so tragic.

He said with difficulty: "Unexpectedly, the news that General Shen Shuo's identity was accidentally leaked and died was waiting for him."

Although Qi Jing knew the result a long time ago, but listening to Qi Wangshan say it again, the feeling is different. The words written on the paper are cold and blunt after all, not as shocking as what the person said.

How is he an outsider, let alone Yan Zhilan?

Thinking of this, Qi Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at Yan Zhilan.Seeing that Yan Zhilan was as normal as usual except for his pale face, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked Qi Wangshan, "What happened next?"

Qi Wangshan paused, then continued.

"After the death of General Shen Shuo, that small force in the Demon Realm disappeared, and it has not reappeared for many years. Gu spent countless manpower and financial resources on secret investigations, but found nothing, as if their existence was just an illusion."

Speaking of this, he shook his head with a wry smile, "However, I know that if it didn't really exist, how could General Shen Shuo have no bones left?"

Qi Jing saw the exhaustion and pain he tried to hide, and didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to change the subject dryly, "If that's the case, what's going on with that Jiang Xu?"

When he saw Qi Wangshan hear these words, deep hatred suddenly burst out in his cloudy and old eyes, and he said in a hateful voice: "Jiang Xu, Jiang Xu is a beast with a human face, a beast's heart, and a wolfish ambition!"

"When the news of General Shen Shuo's death came, I didn't believe it, and was unwilling, so I sent all the hidden guards around me to secretly search for General Shen Shuo."

"A few days later, they found the dying Jiang Xu at the place where General Shen Shuo disappeared. Jiang Xu and General Shen Shuo were siblings, Shen Shuo's only close friend. The dark guards recognized Jiang Xu and took him away. return."

"After Jiang Xu woke up, he personally identified that General Shen Shuo had been killed by people from the Demon Realm, and his bones were crushed and scattered on the road of the enemy camp, where they were trampled and trampled day and night."

"Gu believed in his words that day, and he was blindly trapped in the grief of losing General Shen Shuo, and did not delve into it. Until the New Year's Eve of the first year, the old head of the Yan family—"

Qi Wangshan's gaze turned to Yan Zhilan, "The old head of the Yan family came to the banquet, and he brought a girl who looked like General Shen Shuo beside him."

Yan Zhilan clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, his fingertips pierced his palms, and thick blood oozed out, making it slippery.

Qi Wangshan continued: "Although Shen Shuo is loyal to Dayue, he is extremely mysterious and has never mentioned his wife and daughter. Gu once sent someone to investigate, but not only did not find anything, but was discovered by Shen Shuo. After arguing, he left in anger. At that time, Gu's foundation was not stable, and he was thirsty for talents. It was all in his heart. As long as Shen Shuo was loyal to Gu, what happened to his family affairs, and why did he have anything to do with Gu? Unexpectedly, he made a big mistake because of it. , making Gu regret it too late."

Seeing that he was too late to get to the point, Qi Jing couldn't help interjecting and asked, "What big mistake? What happened later?"

"Jiang Xu was also present at the palace banquet that day. When he saw the girl brought by the old head of the Yan family, his expression changed drastically. Just after the banquet was halfway through, he told Gu to leave in a hurry. When Gu realized something was wrong, , Jiang Xu has already escaped and disappeared."

"Gu saw that the girl looked familiar, so he asked her to come up for questioning. After asking, he found out that she was Shen Shuo's orphan. This time, he came to Beijing to kill his enemy Jiang Xu. Unfortunately, Jiang Xu ran away first. She Old Patriarch Yan didn't know about his identity, so in order not to hurt the Yan family, Shen Shuang begged Gu not to tell this matter."

"In the 17th year of Minghe, Gu finally found out where Jiang Xu was hiding. After he was captured, he informed Shen Shuang. On that day, Jiang Xu committed suicide."

Qi Jing was at a loss when he heard this: "They talked all night? What did they say?" After finishing speaking, he thought of what Qi Wangshan said, and said angrily, "Dismissed all the hidden guards? The truth is only the two of them I know."

"That's not the case." Qi Wangshan looked at Yan Zhilan meaningfully, "Although Shen Shuang dismissed all the hidden guards, she didn't know that the spirit-locking chain that Gu gave her was not an ordinary spirit-locking chain. There is a formation on it, and when Shen Shuang encounters danger, she will automatically transmit her voice to Gu, so that Gu can send someone to find her whereabouts in time and rescue her. Unexpectedly, she accidentally heard a secret .”

Qi Jing's curiosity was aroused by him: "What appetite."

Qi Wangshan said slowly: "Before Jiang Xu died, he made a deal with Shen Shuang."

"What deal?"

Qi Jing turned around, it was not he who said this sentence, but Yan Zhilan said it.

Qi Wangshan said: "Jiang Xudao, if Shen Shuang voluntarily steps into the puppet formation, he will tell her the truth about Shen Shuo's death."

Qi Jing's heart skipped a beat: "She agreed?"

Qi Wangshan nodded: "Shen Shuang has no choice."

Qi Jing secretly thought that Yan Zhilan's mother was controlled by the puppet array in this way.

Then he heard Qi Wangshan say again: "Jiang Xu got his wish, so he happily told Shen Shuang the truth."

Qi Jing suddenly had a bad premonition, his heart was beating violently, and he felt that what Qi Wangshan said must not be a good thing.

Sure enough, Qi Wangshan said slowly: "Jiang Xudao, those so-called people from the demon world were actually created by him alone. What Shen Shuo saw and heard were all hallucinations. Shen Shuo was just after he set up the puppet formation , the first experimental product that was taken."

There was a buzzing sound in Qi Jing's mind, and he didn't dare to see Yan Zhilan's expression.

It seemed that after a long time, he heard Yan Zhilan's calm voice: "What happened next?"

Qi Wangshan sighed, "Later? You all saw it. This matter is so ridiculous that I have no choice but to seal it up."

Qi Jing nodded secretly, somewhat understanding what Qi Wangshan did.

Unexpectedly, Yan Zhilan said again: "I'm afraid it's more than that, the old gentleman still has something to hide from us."
