Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Gu Xingyan's eyes were cold. If this was true, then Gu Xingyuan and his mother, and Chen Tinghua and his grandchildren were really brave.

This was not just a plot to murder the prince, but also an attempt to annihilate the entire 300,000-strong Canglang Army in Yongzhou City.

In addition, they also said that the 60,000 people they selected this time were some troublemakers in the 24 Guard Camps, especially the Brave Guard Camp. They were usually lazy, did not obey anyone, neglected training, often fought, and received the most punishments.

Moreover, this group of people have been staying in the city of Sijiu and have never fought in a war. If they really go to the battlefield, they may even hold him back, so he must be careful.

Gu Xingyan listened quietly. He felt that things would never be that simple. He had experienced the viciousness of his father Chen Shihui in his previous life. It would be fine if they were just passive and lazy, but he was afraid that on the battlefield these people would not only drag down the entire army, but also hinder it.

What's worse, it's treason!

He was certain that these words were deliberately revealed by Chen Shihui to Chen Shouye.

Chen Shihui is a very scheming person. He would not be stupid enough to tell Chen Shouye, such a fool, that he wanted to poison him.

Isn't this obviously telling him to be on guard?

Unfortunately, they made a wrong calculation. Even if this was true, it couldn't do anything to him.

The herb that Cui Jingyu threw into Le Xiaoyuan can cure all poisons in the world, and ordinary poisons can't do anything to him.

Gu Xingyan glanced over calmly.

He saw those people coming in twos and threes, pulling up their trousers and laughing, tapping their shoes, and not taking him, the commander of the army, seriously at all.

Among these people, there was a thin and dark man in his thirties. While tightening his belt, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gu Xingyan standing on the platform. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of contempt. Behind him, there were also several people following, all with the same expression.

Seeing this, General Liang shook his head and sighed, "Your Highness, if these people go to the battlefield, they will die. If they drag down the army, it will be counterproductive."

Liang Tianyou was so angry that he drew his knife and was about to chop off those troublemakers, but Gu Xingyan stopped him and told him to look ahead.

Before these people who were walking towards this side in groups of three or five, there was a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing ordinary soldier armor and a helmet, who had already been standing there straight as a pine tree.

A few troublemakers came over and circled around him. One of them said with a grin, "Hey, Niudaner, what do you want to do with such a good performance? Get promoted, get rich, and get married?"

"Hahahaha," everyone laughed. "With his mediocre kung fu, he won't survive more than three days on the battlefield unless he pisses his pants from the enemy's knives. Boy, I advise you to be sensible and follow us. Maybe we can let you keep that thing on your neck and eat a few more days. But forget about getting promoted, getting rich, and getting married. You're not destined for that."

"That's right, haha, Niudan, follow your brothers, and I guarantee you'll have a few full meals before you die."

The young man called Niu Dan looked at them coldly and said, "No need, I rely on my own ability. If I die on the battlefield, it will be my pride as a soldier, and I will die for a good cause. Unlike you, living is the same as dying. He Si, leave me alone."

He Si said angrily: "Boy, what did you say? If you have the guts, say it again and I will beat you to a pulp!"

Niu Dan snorted: "If you have the time to pick a fight, you might as well go to the battlefield and kill a few more Zhaoguo soldiers, which will also be a revenge for the people of Daliang who died."

"Bah! Killing the enemy is something that those high-ranking officials do. It's none of our business."

"Oh, then you're going to die on the battlefield!"

"No matter how I die, I will die later than you! If you have the guts, fight me. You are just a peasant who has been a soldier for two days and you haven't learned any skills yet, but you want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I think it would be better for you to die in my hands!"

"Just fight, no matter who you are afraid of!"

"Okay! As long as you beat me, I'll call you Brother Niu."

"He Si, you said this?"

"I said so."

The crowd cheered.

Niu Dan bowed to Gu Xingyan on the high platform and said, "General, Niu Dan wants to fight with He Si. Please allow me to do so."

Liang Tianyou's eyebrows twitched violently. A fight before the army sets out?

Gu Xingyan nodded calmly: "Sure, if you win, I will appoint you as the captain of ten men."

Niu Dan was overjoyed: “Yes!”

Niu Dan was skinny, probably because he had not eaten enough for a long time, while He Si was big and strong. If you slapped him on the chest, the flesh would tremble three times.

Several people formed a circle and surrounded the two men in the middle. Unfortunately, it only took two moves for Niu Dan to be knocked to the ground by the man. Not only did he eat a mouthful of mud, but he also knocked out one of his front teeth.

Niu Dan got up angrily and stood up, on guard: "Come again!"

"Oh, come here a hundred times, and you will lose!"

"Niu Dan, just let yourself lose. You are still a centurion. The general is playing tricks on you."

The man who spoke glanced sideways at the platform and said, "What a shitty general! He's just a mud-legged person crawling out of the mountains. Bah!"

Niu Dan suddenly became angry. Although he was unwilling to admit defeat, he also knew that he had just joined the army half a month ago, and it was impossible for him to defeat these people who had been in the army for several years.

Normally, these new recruits who have been in the army for less than half a year are not allowed to go to the battlefield unless it is an emergency, otherwise it would be no different from sending their heads to die.

However, yesterday evening, he and hundreds of new recruits received an order to follow the Ninth Prince to Rangcheng to fight against the Ava army.

Gu Xingyan walked over.

When everyone saw the general coming, although they were disdainful, they still made way for him.

A few people looked at each other and thought that they looked decent. It all depended on how they ended.

"Do you want to win?" Gu Xingyan, who was a head taller than Niu Dan, stood in front of him and asked calmly.

"think."

"louder please!"

"Think!" Niu Dan's voice almost roared from the depths of his throat.

"Okay, I will teach you a move. With just this one move, you will be able to defeat He Si."

Everyone burst into laughter. This "Farmer Prince" was probably still sleepwalking and hadn't woken up yet.

He Si sneered and nonchalantly bowed to Gu Xingyan: "General, are you talking in your sleep?"

"What, don't you dare?"

"Oh, General, don't provoke me. I won't fall for it."

Gu Xingyan smiled calmly: "Oh, if that's the case, then what are you afraid of?"

He Si sneered: "General, if we don't set out now, it will be dark soon."

"Yes, it's almost dark. So where are the 60,000 troops? Have half of them arrived?"

"Tsk, that's your business. I'm just a soldier, what does it have to do with me? You can't take away 60,000 people today, that's because you're incompetent."

"So, since it's none of your business, then just fight Niu Dan. If you win, I'll make you a centurion."

He Si sneered: "General, do you want me, He Si, to kill Niu Dan?"
