Chapter 372 Grandpa, his time is running out
Jiang Dongping slapped his hand away, obviously a little impatient and unwilling to listen to this.
"Alright, alright, stop lecturing me. My dad doesn't even mention these things, but you keep talking about them endlessly!"
"Anyway, my father agrees with me! We will clear your name sooner or later regarding the Second Prince's matter!"
How could Baili Moqing not understand his thoughts?
However, it is too difficult to completely clear him of the charges regarding that incident.
After all, the person who condemned the crime was the most honorable person in Apocalypse!
"Um," he asked quietly, his eyes fixed on Zhang Zhirou and Shu He, "that girl in red, did she come with you?"
Baili Moqing smiled slyly and nodded, "Yes."
"Who is she? Why haven't I seen her before? Is she married? Does she have a crush on someone?"
Baili Moqing smiled faintly and said, "We'll talk about this later."
At this time, Xizhu and the two twins also came back.
"Your Highness, these assassins are from the Liujin Dark Web. They should be the Fourth Prince's men. That expert left no trace. I don't know who he belongs to."
But there are only a few second-rank masters in Kyoto, so the identity of that person is not difficult to find out.
Baili Moqing nodded, "Let's leave it like this for now, no need to investigate."
He knew who it was.
"Prince Dongping, I haven't seen you for a few years. Your strength has improved by leaps and bounds! It seems that the Jiangdong Army's training has had a significant effect!"
Xizhu sighed, five years ago, Jiang Dongping was not his opponent!
Now it seems that he may not be able to beat him.
Jiang Dongping patted his shoulder, looking quite proud, "This prince is extremely talented, you can't envy him!"
"Are you from the Jiangdong Army?"
A slightly anxious voice sounded, making Jiang Dongping serious.
Baili Moqing said that this girl is the sister of the girl in red, so he must curry favor with her!
He greeted her with a smile, "Hello, sister. My name is Jiang Dongping, and I just came back from Jiangdong Army."
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Zhirou again, the smile on his face even warmer. "Miss, thank you for saving my life just now! When we get back to Kyoto, I'll treat you to Kyoto's most famous roast duck!"
Facing those slightly passionate eyes, Zhang Zhirou's cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but glare at him.
He said she saved his life, but she knew very well that he didn't need her saving at all!
He clearly has the ability to solve the problem, but he keeps playing tricks on those people! He's just playing the pig and eating the tiger!
She herself didn't see it at first! She thought he would have a hard time fighting those killers, so she went forward to help him!
Jiang Dongping was a little confused after being stared at for no reason.
Baili Moqing stepped forward and gently bumped his arm. "Don't just focus on introducing yourself, introduce the two young generals behind you too!"
Jiang Dongping was even more confused.
Why introduce them?
He didn't feel like introducing himself, so he asked the two brothers behind him to introduce themselves.
The twins were tall and imposing, with two identical faces, cold and bright, which made people amazed.
There are actually two people in this world who are so similar!
The two men bowed to Baili Moqing and said in unison, "Generals Liu Rufeng and Liu Ruyu greet His Majesty!"
Although I don’t know which prince he is, anyone who has such a good relationship with the prince is worthy of respect.
Hearing this name, Zhang Zhirou's face showed surprise. "Both surnames are Liu, and both names begin with 'Ru'? Is it such a coincidence?"
Liu Rufeng is the older brother and Liu Ruyu is the younger brother. When they heard her words, there was confusion in their eyes.
Liu Ruyu asked, "What do you mean by 'coincidence', young lady?"
Hearing this, Zhang Zhirou smiled and took Shu He's arm, introducing, "My name is Zhang Zhirou, and this is my sister, her name is Liu Ruxin!"
Liu Ruxin?
The two Liu brothers looked towards Shu He, their faces showing a hint of surprise and astonishment. "What a coincidence!"
They didn't notice that Shu He's body was stiff at this moment, and his eyes seemed to be trying hard to suppress some emotions.
The surprise Baili Moqing mentioned turned out to be them...
After suppressing herself for a long time, she asked in a trembling voice, "Are you the descendants of General Liu Kun?"
When the two heard the words "General Liu Kun", they were stunned, and then excitement appeared on their faces.
"Yes, the Liu Kun the girl mentioned is our grandfather! Do you know my grandfather?" Liu Rufeng asked, very surprised. He didn't expect that even after so many years of decline, there were still people who remembered the Liu family.
Shu He suppressed the tears that surged up in her eyes and whispered, "I know, I know..."
Liu Ruyu noticed that she looked unusual. Although he didn't know why she was so excited, she had good intentions towards the Liu family, which made them very grateful.
"The Liu family has been in decline in Kyoto for many years. I didn't expect that someone still remembers Grandpa. If Grandpa knew, he would definitely be very happy!"
Shu He's eyes were sore, and suddenly a gray-haired old man appeared in front of him. His face was blurry, but his smile was clear.
She still remembered his voice, kind and warm.
"Our little girl He has grown so big! Come and give grandpa a hug!"
"Oh, this little girl is really heavy!"
That was when she was five or six years old, outside Kyoto. It was the first time she saw her grandparents, and also the last time.
The Liu family was banished from the capital, and the late emperor ordered that the descendants of the Liu family were never allowed to return to the capital!
At that time, Liu Jinghuang and Shu Kelin were about to get married. In order to prevent Liu Jinghuang from following them out of the capital and suffering, Liu Kun urged Shu Kelin to get the wedding done quickly.
It is said that their wedding was hasty and simple, with only worshipping parents, heaven and earth, and a banquet for three tables of guests.
Later, the Liu family left, and Liu Jinghuang stayed in Kyoto.
That year, the late emperor passed away. Before his death, he left a decree asking Liu Kun to return to Beijing to pay his respects.
It was also at that time that Liu Kun was able to bring his wife back to Beijing, but his son Liu Jingchen did not go with him because his wife was about to give birth.
Her eyes were red as she asked, "Is the old man in good health?"
When the two brothers Fengyu heard this, their expressions changed slightly and their eyes were filled with grief.
No, Grandpa is not okay!
After a serious illness six months ago, he was always confused and rarely lucid. In his confusion, he kept muttering the name of his deceased aunt and the name of his cousin Shu He, whom they had never met.
In the haze, I always say I can’t let go, I’m sorry…
Grandpa said that he was sorry to my aunt and cousin Ahe. If he had not left my aunt in Kyoto and left her alone in the Shu family, perhaps she would still be alive and well now.
And that cousin, if the Liu family hadn't fallen, how could she have been harmed and even lost her life?
Looking at their expressions, Shu He was stunned and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
"What's wrong? General Liu, is he not doing well?"
Liu Rufeng hung his head, clenched his fists, and spoke in a voice filled with pain, "Grandpa... fell seriously ill half a year ago and hasn't recovered yet."
"The doctor said that grandpa doesn't have much time left..."
