243 Regaining Memory
Tang Guixi quietly left Xiangtai with two guards.
It didn’t take long for their pursuers to catch up to them.
Two guards had died protecting her.
She was grieving, but she couldn’t stop.
!!
Following her father’s instructions, she deliberately chose a difficult mountain path and circled to the southwest.
Her pursuers were relentless. She dodged as she fled, suffering many injuries. Using the terrain advantage of the southwest mountains, she dealt with the enemy.
Later, because the inflamed wound caused a high fever, she fell into a coma. That day, Yu Niaoniao followed her maternal family’s escort team out to play. She happened to bump into the seriously injured and unconscious Tang Guixi and picked her up.
… .
Dang Gui slowly opened her eyes.
The blurry image in front of her gradually became clear.
She stared at the carved roof of the bed for a long time.
Yu Niaoniao stayed by the bed.
She was surprised and happy to see Dang Gui awake. The weight on her heart finally settled.
Lo Pingsha had said that as long as Dang Gui could wake up, it would not be a problem.
Dang Gui looked at her blankly.
The scene in front of her seemed to coincide with what she had seen three years ago when she woke up from her coma.
At that time, she opened her eyes and saw Yu Niaoniao.
When Yu Niaoniao asked her name and where she lived, she couldn’t answer a word.
She couldn’t remember anything. Her memories of the past were blank.
Later, Yu Niaoniao gave her a name.
“You’re alone out there. Your family must be worried about you. They’re all looking forward to your return. Then I’ll call you Dang Gui. I hope you can recover your memory and return home early.”
Dang Gui blinked slowly, her eyes turning red. She choked.
“I remember.”
Yu Niaoniao was stunned at first, then her eyes widened in disbelief.
“Have you regained your memory?”
Without waiting for Dang Gui to answer, Yu Niaoniao asked impatiently, “What was your name before? Where did you live?”
Back then, Dang Gui was brought home by Yu Niaoniao. When she woke up, Yu Niaoniao asked these two questions.
At that time, she couldn’t think of an answer.
This time, it was different.
She could give a clear and definite answer.
“My name is Tang Guixi. My father is General Tang Pei. I lived with my father in Xiangtai.”
General Zhengyuan, Xiangtai…
These two terms drilled into Yu Niaoniao’s head, making her small brain work quickly.
“Why were you near Bashu in the first place? And so badly injured.”
Dang Gui told Yu Niaoniao what had happened.
Yu Niaoniao said, “In other words, the Eastern Expedition Army had a problem three years ago, and Du Tao was the instigator. But why did he do it?”
Dang Gui said, “My father suspects that he is a spy sent by the Chen Nation. His goal is to cause the collapse of the Eastern Expedition Army from the inside. As long as the Eastern Expedition Army collapses, the troops of the Chen Nation can march into Liaodong County without any effort. At that time, it will be too late even if the Imperial Court sends troops to help.”
Realization dawned on Yu Niaoniao. This way, everything made sense.
The border map of Liaodong County that Che Xuekun had obtained back then was very likely obtained from Du Tao.
The so-called anti-government poetry case and the kidnapping of a woman were just decoys.
Their real goal was to cooperate from the inside to allow the Chen Nation successfully invade Liaodong County!
No wonder Prince Min and his son were assassinated. As long as they returned to Liaodong County, they would quickly discover the secret of the Eastern Expedition Army.
Once the news leaked, the Imperial Court would make arrangements in advance, and Du Tao’s plan would fail. The best solution was to kill Prince Min and control Shen Xu. This way, the hidden danger could be resolved without arousing the suspicion of the Imperial Court.
Dang Gui lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed.
Yu Niaoniao quickly stopped her. “Your head is still injured. You can’t move.”
Dang Gui said anxiously.
“I lost my memory for three years. Three years is enough time for Du Tao to set everything up. I’m worried about my father. I’m afraid something will happen to him.”
Yu Niaoniao pressed her back down. “I understand your feelings, but you won’t be able to help even if you go to Xiangtai. Why don’t you recuperate first? Little Lo and I will go to Xiangtai.”
Dang Gui shook her head. “No, you’ve never been to Xiangtai and don’t know that place at all. Even if you go, you won’t know how to enter the Eastern Expedition Army’s camp. I have to go with you. And I have two other things that my father gave me. With those two things, we might be able to win by surprise.”
Yu Niaoniao hurriedly asked what it was.
Dang Gui said in a low voice.
“Commander’s Seal and Emperor’s Order.”
Yu Niaoniao was stunned. “But when I saved you back then, I didn’t see you carrying the Commander’s Seal and Commander’s Seal.”
“Those two things were too important. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to escape pursuit and that those two things would be taken, too. So I deposited them in the bank before I left Xiangtai.”
...
Yu Niaoniao’s eyes widened. “You kept such a precious thing in the bank? Aren’t you afraid they would be discovered?”
Dang Gui smiled slyly.
“Don’t worry, no one will find out.”
Yu Niaoniao called Lo Pingsha and Shen Xu over.
She told them about Dang Gui’s memory recovery and the Eastern Expedition Army.
“We’re going to Xiangtai now to retrieve the Commander’s Seal and the Emperor’s Order. Then we’ll find a way to expose Du Tao’s scheme and save Duke Lang and Prince Min.”
Shen Xu was stunned.
He felt as if he were listening to an alien conversation. It was too surreal.
The little maidservant beside Yu Niaoniao was actually the daughter of a general!
The powerful Du Tao in the Eastern Expedition Army was actually a traitor!
The Commander’s Seal and Emperor’s Order were actually stored in an unreliable place like the bank.
...
The huge amount of information almost drowned Shen Xu.
He had only gone back to his room to sleep. When he woke up, he realized that the entire world had changed!
Seeing that they were about to leave, Shen Xu hurriedly said.
“If all of you leave, what will happen to me?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Stay in Prince Min’s Mansion to receive us.” Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m nov𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)m
Shen Xu was unwilling. “Do you think I’m a burden and deliberately refuse to bring me along? I don’t care. I want to go to Xiangtai with you. My father’s life is still unknown. I have to save him!”
Yu Niaoniao said solemnly, “We’re not going on a vacation this time. We’re going to fight it out with someone and might never return. Are you sure you want to take the risk with us?”
Shen Xu was a little afraid. He hesitated for a moment and finally gritted his teeth.
“I want to go to Xiangtai with you! I want to save my father!”
Yu Niaoniao really looked at Shen Xu in a different light.
Although this fellow had bad habits, he was really filial to his father and was quite responsible at critical moments.
Yu Niaoniao said, “Then let’s set off now.”
The group set off from Prince Min’s Mansion and prepared to leave the city in a carriage.
They only knew when they reached the city gate that the county governor’s wife had sent someone to guard the city gate and strictly interrogate the pedestrians who left the city.
