Xie Chengyan's master was his uncle's lieutenant general.

Back then when my uncle was wronged and lost his military power, everyone else avoided him. Only this lieutenant has been silently by his side, very loyal.

Later, Beiji fought with the Yi Kingdom, and the Yi Kingdom pressed forward step by step, and the Beiji was retreated layer by layer.The emperor had no choice but to send his uncle to lead the army.

But at this time, the Northern Territory is showing signs of decline.The soldiers in Beiji suffered heavy casualties, and the grain and grass in the rear were exploited by officials after layers, and there was very little left in the hands of the soldiers, and there was absolutely no possibility of victory.

Even if his uncle is the God of War, he has no power to recover, so he can only reluctantly stop the army of the Yi Kingdom outside Sibei Pass, and Beiji was defeated in this battle.

The Yi army came in a menacing manner, and they had to pay the price in blood just to stop the army of the Yi country.

Of the 30 troops in Beiji, less than 10 survived.

After this battle, rivers of blood flowed outside the Sibei Pass, and even the ground was stained red by the blood of the soldiers. It is said that the wailing of the soldiers can be heard at midnight.

It was also Gu Weiyi's father—General Gu quietly released water for them.

He didn't want to drive out this old opponent, but set up camp on the border and waited for the news of peace from the North, otherwise more people would die.

Beiji's treasury was empty, and it couldn't bear such a huge consumption, so it didn't take long to ask Yiguo for peace.

The war is finally over.

But at this time, Xie Chengyan's uncle, the general of Beiji, was unwilling to leave.

"I can't go back." He was seriously injured and the wound showed faint signs of festering in the bones. He held the lieutenant's hand and said his last instructions.

He didn't need to die. Old General Gu sent people to bring him food and medicine, but he distributed the things to the people below and refused to use them.

He knew he must die.

If he returns to Beiji alive, what awaits him will be unfounded charges. The last time he was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, this time he may directly say that he intends to conspire.

Only after he died, his family would not be affected, and his sister in the palace could live a more comfortable life.

His son was so young, he didn't even spend much time with him.He still has a lot of things he can't let go of, but it's too late.

"Take care of Luo Er and Cheng Yan for me," the general tore off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the deputy general.

"Don't tell Luoer about me. I have too many things to do in my life. I just hope that he can be happy and carefree in this life."

"General..." The lieutenant, weeping, clenched the jade pendant tightly in his hand, trying to persuade him, but found that he couldn't persuade him.

The general laughed and said, "It would be too rusty to say thank you. We will be brothers in the next life." After speaking, the general jumped off the high tower.

It's okay to die like this.

The deputy general remembered the general's entrustment in his heart, and soon set off for the northern imperial capital with the army and the general's body.

There were wounded in the army, so they moved very slowly. He didn't know the news that Xie Chengyan had been selected as the proton until he arrived at a city near the imperial capital.

When he hurried to the imperial capital, Xie Chengyan had already boarded the sedan chair to Yi Kingdom.

Thinking of the general's entrustment, he made a decisive decision and decided to take the general's wife and children to Yiguo. He had had enough of staying in the north.

When they arrived at the General's Mansion, all the servants and maidservants were sent away, and the General's Mansion was completely desolate.

The general's wife was devastated when she heard the news of her husband's death in battle, but she was more worried about her Luo Er at the moment.

Before she married into the general's mansion, she had many entanglements with the queen. After the general died, the queen would never let their mother and child go easily.

The lieutenant took their mother and son to flee all the way, but was targeted by the killer sent by the queen on the way.

At that time, the deputy general went out to buy food for them, but he was not with them. In the critical situation, the wife could only hide the child and lead away the pursuers alone.

When the lieutenant returned, he only found Luo Er who had been hidden tightly in the room, and his wife's cold body in the distance.

Xie Beiluo was still a five-year-old baby at the time, and he didn't know anything about what happened. He only knew to cry for his mother. This situation got better after Xie Beiluo grew up.

The lieutenant planned to wait for Xie Beiluo to be able to take charge of his own affairs before telling his parents about it, so now Xie Beiluo only knew that he was a baby picked up by his master.

in the cell.

Xie Chengyan ignored Xie Beiluo's stubborn words.

He put down his teacup, looked at Gu Zhaozhao and said slowly, "Xiao Luo is too lively, and not good at martial arts, and the most important thing is that he is lazy and greedy to spend money like water. Does your Highness really not consider changing it?"

Obviously he was talking about Xie Beiluo, but Gu Zhaozhao somehow felt that he was being connoted again.

"I can change it, but you have to find me a better one." Gu Zhaozhao felt that the atmosphere between Xie Chengyan and Xie Beiluo was very strange, and it was better for her not to get involved.

Xie Chengyan smiled slightly and said, "It is enough for His Highness to have me alone. Not only do I look good, but I am also skilled in martial arts, and there is no need for Your Highness to pay extra."

Xie Chengyan knew that the road he was walking was extremely difficult, and he really didn't want to involve his relatives.Just like what his uncle said, he also hoped that Xie Beiluo would not bear these grievances and just be happy for the rest of his life.

"That's fine, you two can figure it out." Gu Zhaozhao threw the question to them, so she didn't care about the grievances between the two.

Without waiting for Xie Beiluo's answer, Xie Chengyan said domineeringly: "Then it's decided like this."

Xie Beiluo heard Xie Chengyan's words, and knew what he had decided, no matter how much he struggled and resisted, it would be futile.Sighing secretly, Xie Beiluo put the food box on the ground, raised his legs and prepared to leave.

"Wait," Xie Chengyan called to stop Xie Beiluo, "Xiao Luo, since you've come here, I need your help with one thing."

"What's the matter?" Xie Beiluo approached Xie Chengyan and asked excitedly.

Xie Chengyan pushed him aside in disgust: "Pretend that I stay here."

"Ah, that's it." Xie Beiluo lowered his head in disappointment, moved closer to Xie Chengyan, and said in a low voice: "Brother, you see that your eyes are like this, why don't you let me follow the princess to investigate?"

Xie Chengyan was unmoved, with a threatening smile on his face: "Even if I'm really blind, do you think you can beat me?"

Naturally, it cannot be defeated. One must learn to accept the reality. Xie Beiluo responded aggrievedly: "Oh, then do as you said."

Gu Zhaozhao looked at Xie Chengyan and Xie Beiluo who were whispering, it was the first time she saw Xie Chengyan so close to others, there must be some little secret between these two people.

"Ahem, are you two ready to discuss?" Gu Zhaozhao put his hands on his chest and asked impatiently.

Thinking in his heart that an old fox like Xie Chengyan would definitely not tell her, Xie Beiluo would be better at talking when he looked dazed and silly.

In fact, she made a mistake. Xie Chengyan didn't intend to hide these things from her. He would answer whatever she asked.
