It is said that after General Guan's wife and children were killed by the Rong people, he knelt outside the Bai family's military camp for a whole night, pleading for them to take him in because he sought revenge. Later, my fifth uncle, moved by his persistence, accepted General Guan and let him become a Huotou Army soldier. Perhaps because his wife and children were slaughtered... just made him a Huotou Army soldier, my fifth uncle might not have investigated this General Guan thoroughly.
"Later, with the passing of General Guan's parents and family, he joined the army, and the Guan family was no more!" Shen Qingzhu saw steps ahead, supported Bai Qingyan's arm, and continued after helping her down a few steps, "Since we couldn't discover anything in Feng County, I took the risk and went to Xiliang, investigating General Guan's name, Yun Lan, there, which led to some peculiar findings..."
Bai Qingyan nodded, signaling Shen Qingzhu to continue.
