The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 714 Dongyuan Orphan

Cheng Du narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Jiang Suining with doubt.

"Revenge? That's funny. What grudge do we have that would cause the two countries to fight each other to the point of mutual destruction? It's just that we want to stir up chaos between the two countries and make a profit and take advantage of it."

Jiang Suining shook his head. "How can the benefits gained from the chaos between the two countries compare to the hatred of losing the country. Although Dongyuan was destroyed a long time ago, as a member of the Dongyuan royal family, this hatred will probably be difficult to let go for the rest of my life."

Cheng Du and Wen Yan's expressions changed at the same time.

The disguised suspicion in his eyes was completely broken, and Cheng Du looked at Jiang Suining with completely cold eyes, "How did you know?"

"Guess."

"Guess?" Wen Yan was stunned.

"Yes, before I spoke just now, it was just a guess and there was no way to confirm it completely, but now it is confirmed."

"Then what made you come up with this guess?" Cheng Du asked.

"Because of your actions of provoking the war between the two countries, and..." Jiang Suining looked at the hem of Wen Yan's skirt, which was embroidered with large pieces of peonies. "I've heard that the national flower of Dongyuan is the peony."

When she entered the Wuliang Tower before, she discovered that Wen Yan seemed to like peonies very much. Not only were peony patterns embroidered on her dress, but even the potted plants displayed in the Wuliang Tower were mostly peonies, and some of them were even rare varieties.

Although the Wuliang Tower is underground, the peonies in the tower are growing beautifully, which obviously requires a lot of effort.

Among the three kingdoms, only Dongyuan Kingdom regards peony as its national flower and cultivates it with great care. In addition to the diversity of varieties, most people in Dongyuan Kingdom are good at cultivating peonies.

"So you guessed our identities from that time on?" Wen Yan was surprised. It was because of Mudan.

She couldn't help but let her eyes fall on the hem of her skirt.

She has loved peonies since she was a child, and she once learned how to grow them from a skilled gardener in the mansion.

After she became the boss of the black market, she began to plant and cultivate peonies in the building. Whenever she saw the peonies, she seemed to be able to recall the time when Dongyuan had not yet been destroyed.

But she never expected that this would expose her!

Seeing Wen Yan's pale face, Jiang Suining shook his head and said, "Mudan just made me think this way. At that time, I had never doubted you, and naturally I would not guess your identity because of Mudan. But later, the incident between Murong Yu and Pu Hua forced us to focus on the black market and our suspicion of your identity and purpose."

Shen Yanxi also looked at the two and said, "It's really not easy for the Dongyuan royal family to have someone alive."

Wen Yan immediately said, "No, no, I am the only one in the royal family. A'Du is just a picked-up brother. The affairs of the Dongyuan royal family have nothing to do with him."

"Sister, I've already said it before. Even if you try to hide my identity, you'll still end up dead."

Cheng Du leaned back against the tree again, but the usual smile was gone from his face.

"I am indeed from the royal family of Dongyuan. When the imperial city was breached, a loyal eunuch managed to take me away from the palace and handed me over to the then Grand Tutor. As for my elder sister..." Cheng Du glanced at Wen Yan, "She is the daughter of the Grand Tutor. When the country was breached, we fled together, and in the end, only the two of us survived by chance."

Xilin was cruel and ruthless, and killed everyone without mercy, while Beiyang watched from the other side and reaped the benefits.

If they hadn't been lucky, and if the Taifu and others hadn't risked their lives to protect them, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape.

But even if they escaped, it would be extremely difficult for two such young children to survive, and they eventually ended up in exile in the black market.

He could hardly remember how scared he was when he first entered the black market. He only remembered that he thought he was going to die several times.

But perhaps it was God's mercy that they survived in the end. Not only did they survive, but he and his sister also climbed up step by step to the position of the lord of the black market.

But human luck is probably limited, and they have used it too much in the past, so this time, although they were full of confidence at the beginning, they failed in the end.

Wen Yan listened to Cheng Du's words with pain in her eyes, "Back then, for the sake of Dongyuan's territory and wealth, Xilin violated the peace agreement and started a war. Wherever the war spread, how many people in Dongyuan were displaced and their families were destroyed. And what about Beiyang? Although it was not Beiyang who started the war, Beiyang also violated the previous agreement. From beginning to end, it did not lend a helping hand to Dongyuan. It just watched Dongyuan's destruction and even profited from it. Now they say they don't want to see the war and are willing to negotiate with Xilin. It's really ridiculous. They are all hypocritical people!"

Her father was captured while trying to lead away the pursuers and eventually died tragically at the hands of Xilin. Her brother was caught by Xilin soldiers while trying to find food and when he was seen again, only his mutilated corpse was left.

Those memories were almost engraved in her mind and she would never forget them in her life.

But she knew that it was impossible for her and A'du to shake the two countries of Beiyang and Xilin and avenge Dongyuan alone, so they had been waiting for the opportunity. After waiting for so long, they finally waited for Murong Yu and Xilin's desire to go to war.

But unexpectedly, the war was over in just one month!

"Jiang Suining, Shen Yanxi, if it weren't for you! How great it would be if it weren't for you!" Wen Yan almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth. Regardless of his injured arm, he secretly clenched the soft sword in his hand.

Shen Yanxi stepped forward slightly, half blocking Jiang Suining to prevent Wen Yan from making a sudden move.

"You are fighting for the revenge of Dongyuan, and we are fighting for the people of Beiyang. After all, we have different positions. We sympathize with you as Dongyuan people, and the pain of watching your country destroyed, your family ruined, and your relatives killed. But no matter what, we will not let you provoke a war and turn Beiyang into another Dongyuan."

"Then why should Dongyuan destroy the country!" Wen Yan almost shouted this sentence, and at the same time, regardless of the injury on his shoulder, he attacked Shen Yanxi again, "If it weren't for you, our plan would not have failed! You deserve to die!"

"Sister!" Cheng Du's eyes darkened, and he immediately stepped forward to protect Wen Yan, but it was too late.

Shen Yanxi and Jiang Suining retreated quickly, avoiding Wen Yan's attack.

After missing the first attack, Wen Yan wanted to attack again, but the next moment a crossbow arrow shot from behind hit her heart directly.

Cheng Du's pupils suddenly contracted, and he flew forward to catch Wen Yan.

"Sister!"

Wen Yan fell into Cheng Du's arms. She felt the severe pain in her heart spreading rapidly, reaching her limbs and bones in an instant.

"It really hurts, but my brother and father must have felt more pain than me at the time."
