On the way, Longyi discovered that the security of the Ximen residence was much tighter. The air defense was like an inescapable net surrounding the Ximen residence. Even if a mosquito flew over, it wouldn't be able to escape their eyes and ears. This was probably because the situation was getting more and more tense. If there was any negligence, then all the previous efforts would be wasted.
Longyi knocked on the door of the study and then gently pushed it open. He saw Ximen Nu standing in front of a painting on the wall with his hands clasped behind his back. The person in the painting was wearing golden armor and holding a thick and huge blade. His handsome face was dignified without being angry. He was the ancestor of the Ximen Clan, Ximen JingLei.
"You are here." Ximen Nu didn't turn around. His straight back was still as high as a mountain after experiencing wind and frost. His tone was very flat as if he didn't have any emotion.
"Yes, father." Longyi replied indifferently. Looking at the white hair of Ximen Nu, he felt very sour in his heart. He remembered that two years ago, only the hair on his temples and forehead had turned white. He didn't expect that in just two years, he would become so old. This world wasn't something that everyone could fight for.
"You have done well these past two years." Ximen Nu turned around. Although his expression was still flat, his eyes were filled with gratification. This son really didn't let him down.
Long Yi smiled and didn't answer. He just stared at the painting that Ximen Nu was looking at.
"This world was stolen by the Dragon Clan in the end. This is the regret of our ancestor's life. I hope this regret can be made up by us, father and son." Ximen Nu sighed and said.
"Father, although it seems that our Ximen Clan has the upper hand in the current situation, the Dragon Clan seems to be too calm." Longyi looked at the intelligence reports of these days and said with a frown.
"Ah, the calm after the storm. Once the Proud Moon Empire is properly dealt with, the final decisive battle will begin. Between the Long Clan and my Ximen Clan, only one side can survive." Ximen Nu moved to the desk and said indifferently.
Long Yi nodded his head, regardless of who won or lost, No matter who won or lost, the Dragon Empire would face a great purge. Both sides knew the consequences of pulling out the radish, and those vassals also knew that if they made the wrong choice, their families would only face annihilation.
"Father. Big Brother … How is he? "Longyi asked.
"Now, he has been thrown into an idle position in the military headquarters. That slut Liu Shi has already been confirmed to be a surviving member of the imperial family of the previous dynasty. I'm afraid that the dark forces behind Long Zhan are also involved. I truly didn't expect that Long Zhan would be so smart for such a short period of time. I think those people are planning to be the fisherman who benefits from the fight." Ximen Nu coldly snorted. Two years ago, after Longyi left Soaring Dragon City, he specially dispatched two groups of Skynet intelligence personnel to investigate. The handwriting on the piece of paper he got from Mu Hanyan was a fragment of the previous dynasty's script. Moreover, he managed to dig out some clues.
Longyi frowned slightly and couldn't help but think of that woman, Mu Hanyan. Could it be that she was also a survivor of the previous dynasty? However, something was not quite right. The words she spoke of in her hometown were the mysterious words left behind by the Holy City. They were completely different from the words of the previous dynasty. It was really puzzling.
"Yu 'er, from the analysis of the intelligence, I'm afraid that the dark forces behind Long Zhan have already infiltrated all aspects of the imperial family. Now, the imperial family is not much different from a puppet. It seems like our main opponent is the remnants of the previous dynasty." Ximen Nu said in a deep voice. Even if he failed to seize power. He absolutely couldn't tolerate the great empire falling into the hands of the remnants of the previous dynasty.
Longyi and his father had an in-depth discussion and analysis about the current situation of Soaring Dragon City. Unknowingly, the night passed like this. When the first glimmer of dawn came, the two of them started to feel hungry.
At that time, the sound of knocking came from outside and Dongfang Wan's voice resounded, "Lord, it's me."
The door was pushed open with a creaking sound. Dongfang Wan walked in while carrying a few dishes and a pot of wine, then rebuking, she said, "Lord, Yu 'er has just returned, but you pulled him to chat the whole night. Didn't you think that Yu' er's body would be able to endure such a long journey?"
"Mother, I'm not made of flour. Even if I don't sleep for ten days and ten nights, it won't affect me. "Long Yi said.
"Why are you showing off? Quickly sit down and eat something." Dongfang Wan said.
Both father and son were indeed hungry, so they picked up the chopsticks and wolfed down the food. Dongfang Wan sat at the side, looking at the old and then looking at the young, her heart was filled with deep happiness. In her heart, she really didn't want her husband and child to do anything big. As long as the whole family could sit together and eat a meal, she would be perfectly satisfied. Merely, she knew that Ximen Clan could no longer turn back.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Longyi patted his belly. The food cooked by his mother was really delicious. Suddenly, Longyi thought of a matter. He opened his mouth but swallowed it back.
"Yu 'er, do you have something to say?" Seeing Longyi's appearance, Ximen Nu doubtfully asked.
"Yes … yes, but this is a secret. I will only tell mother." Longyi rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
"Secret.
Speaking, a smile suddenly bloomed on her face. This proved that her position in the heart of her son was unique.
Longyi pulled Dongfang Wan to a side room and set up a barrier. Seeing his cautious appearance, Dongfang Wan also became serious.
"Mother. Can you tell me what is going on with Wuhen's mother and father? " Looking at Dongfang Wan's expression, Longyi cautiously asked. He knew that this mother was extremely narrow-minded when it came to emotional matters. In this respect, she was very similar to his cousin Dongfang Xkexin. He didn't know whether the women of Dongfang Clan were born with a strong sense of feminism or not. But the difference was that Dongfang Wan succeeded and Dongfang Xkexin failed miserably. Who told her to meet Longyi, this kind of womanizer.
Sure enough, Dongfang Wan's complexion slightly changed and she said in a bad mood: "Smelly brat, you mysteriously pulled me here just to ask this?"
"Mother, I have a purpose in asking this. Just tell me. "Longyi pulled Dongfang Wan's hand and said with a bashful face.
Dongfang Wan suspiciously stared at Longyi. She also knew that this son of hers was not a gossipy person. Immediately, she angrily said: "Isn't this matter caused by your father? At that time, when he was drunk, he defiled a new maid of your mansion, which resulted in the birth of Simon Wuhen."
"Mother, are you sure that at that time, that maid was pregnant with Wuhen?" Longyi asked.
Dongfang Wan's elegant eyebrows frowned, as she became aware of some factors in Longyi's question. She affirmed: "When that maid was about to give birth, I was present, and I also watched Wuhen grow up, so how can I be wrong?"
"Then, are you sure that Wuhen is … …" Longyi thought for a bit, but he still didn't say it.
"Son, are you suspecting that Wuhen is not the seed of our Ximen clan?" Dongfang Wan was very intelligent, and immediately grasped the meaning of Longyi.
"Eh … yes … …" This time, Longyi came back to find out the origin of Simon Wuhen, so he asked this question.
"Do you have any evidence, this kind of words can't be casually said." Dongfang Wan's complexion was already ghastly pale. If Simon Wuhen was indeed not the seed of Ximen Clan, then it meant that someone was plotting against Ximen Clan. This was truly outrageous, if this matter was spread out, it would definitely draw the ridicule of the whole world, and Ximen Nu wouldn't be able to see other people.
Longyi thought for a bit, since he had already spoken like this, there was no need to cover it up. His mother Dongfang Wan was not a simple person, perhaps she might be able to find out something.
"Yes, I did a test, and I am 100% sure that Wuhen and I are not related by blood." Longyi frowned and said. At that time, he was also startled when he obtained this result.
Dongfang Wan gritted her silver teeth and her beautiful eyes emitted a sharp light. She absolutely believed that her son wouldn't speak without a target. Since he said so, then there must be such a matter. Simon Wuhen and her son were not related by blood, then he was absolutely not the seed of her Ximen Clan. Who was so audacious and dared to make Ximen Clan take the blame …
"Could it be … …" Suddenly, Dongfang Wan seemed to have thought of something, and her beautiful face suddenly changed and her body somewhat trembled.
"What is it?" Longyi asked.
Dongfang Wan's eyelids uncontrollably jumped and she said: "I remember that maid was brought home by your grandfather and another woman. They said that she was pitiful and picked her up on the road, so they let her become your father's personal maid. But now that I think about it, it is somewhat fishy. That girl is an outstanding beauty, how could she be picked up?"
"Mother, are you saying that this matter was arranged by grandfather from beginning to end?" Longyi raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I don't know, it's a pity that there has been no news from your grandfather for more than 20 years, otherwise, I can ask him." Dongfang Wan shook her head and said. In her heart, she faintly felt that he couldn't get away from this matter.
Longyi suddenly recalled Aunt Ou of Mea Holy Magic Academy. At that time, she had said to him: So you are the boy of Ximen Clan, I didn't expect you to grow up so big in a blink of an eye.
Does this mean that she had seen him when he was a child? Then, could she be that woman who came together with grandfather? She had once categorically said that Wuhen and Ximen Clan had no relationship, so presumably, it shouldn't be wrong. Seeing how she was so concerned about Wuhen, then the relationship between her and Wuhen was certainly not simple.
"Yu 'er, you can tell mother about this matter, but you must never tell your father, understand?" Dongfang Wan solemnly said.
