Chapter 669: Chapter 670: I Will Definitely Satisfy You_1

In the end, the Emperor gazed at Xia Ye, who had been faithfully serving him all these days.

"Xia Ye, your help has been invaluable in recent times. You have performed great services for me. Now, tell me, if there is anything you want, or any official position you desire, I am prepared to grant it to you now. In the dynasty of Dajin, you can choose any office you wish."

Xia Ye bowed to the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Kun, a court-appointed official, plotted a rebellion, and anyone who sees him should execute him. As a humble civilian, I have done only what any subject of Dajin should do. I have no desire for an official position or its accompanying rewards. I only have one request..."

Xia Ye’s voice trailed off for a moment.

"Xia Ye, feel free to make any request you wish. As long as it is reasonable, I will, by all means, satisfy you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I wish..."

Then, Xia Ye expressed his idea.

An idea that had been incubating for a long, long time.

...

In the provincial city...

Nan Feng, after a trip to Ping County, was passing by the city gate when she noticed a crowd of people pointing and whispering around a public notice. Curious, she joined them.

"Finally, General Nangong has been exonerated. Such a pity, he had been executed under the crime of treason. I heard his entire family was executed."

Someone else asked, "Who is this General Nangong, and why was his entire lineage executed? Why did the Emperor order it?"

"Don’t you know? General Nangong was the top warrior of Dajin, and his military achievements were legendary. As long as he led the charge in battle, victory was assured. Look what the Emperor has written here, ’Executed on trumped-up charges, influenced by the slander of Qin Kun’. Shame on Qin Kun! If General Nangong were alive, would we still be fighting the North and Dashun? He would have driven those bastards out by now. I hear our forces have suffered heavy losses everywhere."

"That’s really tragic. A family genocide. Is there anyone left from his family?"

"How could there be? At the time, Qin Kun was controlling the court, and the Emperor was too young to do anything about him."

"Nonsense. The Emperor is incompetent. What about the other ministers in the court? Could none of them plea for General Nangong?"

"Who didn’t plea? Didn’t Zhuang Xiang always plea for General Nangong? But what happened? Qin Kun could not tolerate him anymore and ordered the execution of his entire family as well. With all this, who would dare to speak up?"

"..."

Nan Feng quietly listened on.

General... Nangong?

Zhuang Xiang?

Nan Feng suddenly recalled how Xia Ye and Xiaodie spoke that day. Besides her, Nan Feng had never seen Xia Ye talk to anyone else in such a gentle tone.

Could it be...?

An idea suddenly popped into Nan Feng’s mind.

Could Xia Ye be that General Nangong?

Yes. What did Butler Yan tell her about General Nangong before? She thought for a while, but she couldn’t remember clearly.

Nan Feng casually asked the person in front of her, "If I may ask, how old was General Nangong when he died?"

"I assume he was in his forties, not sure about the exact age, but I guess it should be thereabouts."

In his forties?

Then it couldn’t be Xia Ye.

Nan Feng asked again, "Did General Nangong have a son? Was the son also executed?"

"Son? I don’t recall hearing about that. I doubt he had one, otherwise there should have been a young general in the camp. But, there doesn’t seem to be any."

Then, someone from the side interjected, "You even know whether General Nangong had a son or not. Have you been in their camp?"
