I am a villain, why are there always people chasing me?

The sun shines through the thick war clouds on the battlefield, making the figures of the soldiers blurry. Wearing armor and holding sharp blades, they shuttled across the battlefield like streaks of lightning.

The cavalry rushed towards the enemy like a gust of wind, and the sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky. The sound of weapons clashing was deafening, and the clash of sharp blades made sparks fly. The soldiers used their brave postures and spears to cut off the enemy's lives and destroy the enemy's defense lines. The sound of the collision of cavalry echoed throughout the battlefield, and the enemy troops fell like straw.

The archers were like elves in the dark night. They quickly drew their bows and released arrows. Arrows rained down on the enemy. The sharp arrows penetrated the enemy's body, and the blood instantly dyed the yellow earth red.

This war lasted for more than three months, involving both offense and defense.

War, large and small, caused many casualties, but with Gu Xiyan and the soldiers on the front line, the people at the border were not harmed.

They protected them very well.

The long war made everyone nervous, but no one dared to slack off. After all, if you are not careful, you may lose not only your own life, but also the lives of your comrades, causing changes in the situation.

My family is still waiting for me to come home...

With the lives of so many people in his hands, Gu Xiyan did not dare to slack off at all. He always deduced and deduced with other generals to make three or four preliminary plans.

More than three months of living in the open air made Gu Xiyan become more mature and vicissitudes of life.

"Vice General Liu, when will the court's food and grass arrive?" Gu Xiyan picked up the broken bowl and took a sip of water, wiping the water stains around his mouth with the back of his hand.

"The messenger said he would arrive the day after tomorrow," Vice General Liu replied.

"Okay." Gu Xiyan said in a hoarse voice, "You should also go and take a rest. Remember to let the soldiers rest in shifts and pay attention to vigilance."

"Yes."

Vice General Liu left, leaving Gu Xiyan sitting alone in the tent, turning the jade ring in his hand, looking at the flickering candlelight and thinking.

This jade ring was given to Gu Xiyan by the young emperor before he left.

The current food and grass can last for another three days. I hope there will be no accidents.

During the two days while waiting for the arrival of food and grass, the Huns were unusually quiet, as if they were holding back some big move.

Gu Xiyan didn't have a good idea, he could only try to use tricks to minimize his own losses.

Fortunately, the imperial court's backup supplies were delivered successfully.

"Your Majesty." The escort officer saluted Gu Xiyan.

"No need." Gu Xiyan quickly asked people to put the food and grass in place. After all, these are life-threatening things.

The escort officer didn't say much and just led his people to follow Lieutenant General Liu's guidance to place the food, grass and weapons.

Suddenly, Gu Xiyan felt that he saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

How come he is here? Maybe I missed Ansheng’s life too much and misunderstood...

Gu Xiyan didn't take it seriously either.

Soon after the grain and grass arrived, the Xiongnu began to actively seek peace.

It's you who want to fight, and it's you who are asking for peace. What are you doing?

But no one wanted the war to continue, so Gu Xiyan had no choice but to accept it and let the people they sent in.

"My lord, long time no see." A slightly older male voice came from outside the tent.

Gu Xiyan raised his head and saw the little old man who had opened the door curtain and was stared at by several soldiers as he came in.

Gu Xiyan frowned and said, "You?"

"Your Majesty, you are such a noble person. You forget things so quickly." The little old man continued to say with a smile.

It's just because I remember it that I feel uncomfortable in my heart.

This man was Zhou Yong, an old general from the Southern Kingdom. He was highly trusted by the late emperor. He knew many important matters inside and outside the palace and had a close relationship with the late emperor. But for some unknown reason, he surrendered to the enemy and treason in a battle, which resulted in the defeat of the Southern Kingdom and the cessation of the city to pay compensation to the Huns.

"What are you doing here? Did the Xiongnu send you here to sue for peace or to declare war?" Gu Xiyan's face was expressionless and he stared at Zhou Yong coldly.

"My lord, we are all old acquaintances, don't you have to be like this? Can't we sit down and have a good talk? Even if we represent two forces?" Zhou Yong looks upright and has an upright face, but his speech always sounds like a villain. breath.

"Okay, let me see what kind of flowers you can name." Even though Gu Xiyan was affected by the original owner's feelings, he did not forget to put the overall situation first.

"This..." Zhou Yong looked at the group of soldiers behind him.

"Everyone, go down." Gu Xiyan waved his hand.

"But General..."

"Go down."

"Yes." The soldiers glared at Zhou Yong viciously and went out reluctantly.

You old boy, if you dare to hurt my general, let’s see if we can’t kill you!

"Okay." Gu Xiyan changed into a comfortable position and placed his right hand on his calf, where it meets the boot.

"Your Majesty, don't be so serious." Zhou Yong sat down by himself and poured himself a glass of water, as if chatting.

"My lord has found the emperor. Oh no, did you find the edict left by the late emperor?"

Gu Xiyan frowned imperceptibly after hearing this.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh, the prince has not found it, right? After all, the late emperor hid the edict very well, for fear of being found." Zhou Yong sipped his mouth and said, "It's great! I was thirsty to death along the way."

Gu Xiyan felt that this matter was not simple, so he followed his words and asked, "Do you know where the edict is hidden?"

"I don't know." Zhou Yong spread his hands.

"Then why did you mention this picture?" Gu Xiyan was speechless.

"Although I don't know where the edict is hidden, I know the content inside. After all, I ghostwritten it when the late emperor fell ill in bed." Zhou Yong looked at Gu Xiyan, "You don't want to Do you know what was written?”

"I don't want to." It doesn't make any sense now.

"But I just want to say it!" Zhou Yong didn't know if it was because he was getting older and had a stronger rebellious mentality. Hearing Gu Xiyan say this, he still insisted on nagging him.

"In the edict, the late emperor asked Gu Xiyan, the prince, to ascend the throne and inherit the country of the South."

Gu Xiyan was stunned.

Let, let me take the throne? How can it be!

"Are you shocked? I was also surprised at that time. It was only then that I understood. It turns out that the late emperor used you so highly not only because he took a fancy to your talents, but also because he has you in his heart!"

Is this still a two-way gay relationship?

Regardless of Gu Xiyan's expression, Zhou Yong continued: "That guy, after all, as an emperor, he can't help himself with anything, and he has to hide all his feelings in his heart. He doesn't dare to bet, and he doesn't dare to bet whether the people in the world will accept it. Come on, will you accept him?

Therefore, he hid all his thoughts in his will. If we can't be together during life, he will leave all his precious things to you after death! Moreover, it is also written above that no matter what you do within one year after his death, you will not be bound by national law! Quite good at it, tsk tsk..."

Gu Xiyan himself was just a little shocked, but he felt that the original owner's emotions were about to burst out, making him almost unable to hold it back.

In the end, the two of them broke up. In other words, Zhou Yong did not come with the intention of seeking peace. The purpose was to disturb Gu Xiyan's mood and catch them off guard.

Gu Xiyan closed his eyes tiredly.

Why do you feel like your eyes are sore? However, if the original owner heard these words, he would probably not be able to bear it and go crazy, right?

After Zhou Yong left, Gu Xiyan tried to calm down. Suddenly, he heard a slight movement from the corner of the tent.

"who??!"
