after i found out my new wife was a man

On May [-]th, the rewards from the imperial city arrived at the border. At the same time, Emperor Jingren ordered Xie Hou to return to Beijing to reward them.

Three days later, Xie Hou led two thousand elite soldiers on the way back to Beijing.

It was a long road, until the night of the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, Xie Hou finally arrived at Pingyanya, thirty miles away from the imperial city.As the name suggests, this Pingyanya land has towering cliffs all around and extremely low terrain in the middle, like an upside-down inkstone.

Everyone is resting here tonight, just waiting to enter the city in one fell swoop tomorrow.

The bonfire was dancing, and the whole Pingyan Cliff was filled with the bold laughter of the soldiers. Xie Hou hummed a song, took another sip of wine, and laughed too.

Seeing him like this, the lieutenant sitting on one side joked, "My subordinate sees that the closer you are to the imperial city, the better your mood will be, General."

Xie Hou glanced at him: "Do you dare to say that you are not? Don't drink too much, and no one will care about you when you get drunk tomorrow."

Hearing the words, the deputy general quickly put down the jug, and argued with a smile: "Just a few sips, just to warm up."

"Come on," Xie Hou looked at another young soldier sitting beside him, "It's not as good as Lin Yao."

That Lin Yao had an ordinary appearance, and he had just been transferred to the Guards Battalion with the general's blue eyes a month ago, and he didn't talk much on weekdays, but now he just smiled.

"General, your heart is going to the sky. Those who don't know will think that Lin Yao is your son." The deputy general saw Xie Hou's more "unkind" eyes after he finished speaking, and he quickly got up and said , "Hey, let me see if the night watchman is about to change shifts, I'll go and see."

"Old soldier," Xie Hou scolded with a smile, looked at the increasingly sweltering weather, and murmured, "It might be raining soon."

He thought the lieutenant general would come back soon, but after a quarter of an hour he still hadn't seen him, so he frowned and said, "Lin Yao, go and see, what's the delay."

As soon as Xie Hou finished speaking, Lin Yao slammed him to the ground, and then a sharp arrow pierced the air and passed close to his ear. Xie Hou's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at the arrow that was piercing the ground.

One blow failed, and thousands of arrows rained down from the cliff.

"Enemy attack! Watch out—"

Even if the soldiers immediately realized that they were going to Beijing for rewards, they were carrying wooden shields and wearing light armor for the convenience of their journey, and only the other knives around their waists could be seen, but they were just facing the arrows falling from the sky. Rain, but still a drop in the bucket.

More and more soldiers were shot by arrows and fell down. In an instant, the smell of blood filled the sky. Xie Hou was protected and stood behind, his eyes were scarlet.

"General! I am in the light, and the enemy is in the dark. At this time, the only way to survive is to rush out a bloody road! General!"

Xie Hou knew what he meant: "Shut up! This is the end of the matter. When I advance and retreat with the soldiers, I have led the army for decades, and I have never left my brothers to run first!"

"General! Today is different, and this is not on the battlefield!" The one who spoke was Lin Yao, who had always been taciturn, "Only when you leave, can we understand the innocent soldiers who died tragically! You have the heart to let them die unexplained." Isn't it white?!"

Xie Hou's lips trembled, his throat choked up, but he didn't speak again.

"All generals obey orders!" Lin Yaogao shouted, "for the sake of the brothers who died in vain, at all costs, cover the general's retreat!"

"Yes!" The scattered voices gradually condensed into a rope, and there were corpses everywhere in Pingyan Cliff, and the soaring blood made people's eyes sore.

But fortunately, there is still a chance of survival - as long as you escape from Pingyanya, it will be a dense forest.

When fleeing to the dense forest, Xie Hou got an arrow in the shoulder, and there were less than 500 of the original [-] elite soldiers.

But the soldiers and horses in the dark seemed endless. Xie Hou's forehead was bulging with veins, his body was covered with blood, and the sound of swords clashing behind him was endless, but when the soldiers fell to the ground, there was no sound, as if A handful of blood-stained dust, only open eyes reflected their unwillingness.

Can't figure it out, they can't figure it out no matter what.

On the battlefield, they used their own flesh and blood to forge the city wall, showing a deep love and loyalty, and the shroud of horse leather is nothing but ordinary.After nine deaths, I thought I was going to survive, so I waited to return to my wife, children and parents, fulfilled my responsibilities and filial piety, bought an acre of Susukida, and lived an ordinary and good life from then on, but they all died in front of the house.

why?Aren't they great heroes?

No one could answer them, only Xie Hou swallowed the bloody breath in his throat, his eyes were like sharp knives, and he led the remaining soldiers into the dense forest.

He will give them back the truth.

After entering the dense forest, 30 soldiers spread out in groups of [-] in different directions, and Xie Hou hid in one of the groups.

The shadow of the tree was ferocious, Xie Hou and the other 30 people walked lightly, carefully covering up the traces of their past, and hid behind a low rock.

Now is far from the time to relax vigilance, Xie Hou ordered softly: "You 15 people hide in the surrounding trees. If there is a situation, it is best to kill someone in the future after reminding you. Remember not to make any noise."

There are only about thirty of them, but the opponent is unfathomable, so they can only proceed with caution.

Then he leaned heavily on the rock, gasping for breath, and suddenly felt someone's hand covering his arm. Xie Hou glanced sideways, and it was Lin Yao.

Lin Yao slowly tore off a corner of his robe to bandage his wound: "Fortunately, it's not poisonous."

Only then did Xie Hou feel the stabbing pain, and was about to speak, but a stone fell in front of him, his expression froze, and he said softly: "Be careful, someone is coming."

Everyone was vigilant and stared at the direction of the footsteps, but fortunately, there were only five or six people who came, and when they approached, their mouths and noses were covered and their necks were cut, so they couldn't make a sound.

Then someone quickly groped around the waist of the corpse, handed what they found to Xie Hou, and hid the corpse in a hidden place.

Xie Hou looked at a sword and a token in front of him, and remained silent for a while.

It's because the word "Rui" is engraved on the hilt and token.And who doesn't know that the name of the abandoned prince is He Mingrui.

But is this really the truth?

The second prince has been deposed, and there is absolutely no possibility of his recovery, so why did he bother so many soldiers and horses to ambush him?Taking a step back, what good is killing them other than arousing public outrage?

What's more, the person who came here was so "fair and aboveboard" that the owner's name was engraved on the token and saber, as if... for fear that others would not know that he did it.

Xie Hou closed his eyes heavily and stopped thinking about these things, because the most important thing now is how to survive from here.

Xie Hou opened his eyes, and his mind became clear again.

Only by surviving can it be possible to unravel the mystery.

There was silence all around, only the sound of breathing, almost half an hour had passed.

During this half an hour, people kept coming to search, but fortunately they couldn't make a sound, so that everyone has been waiting in peace until now, but after all, it is indeed getting more and more difficult.

Because the area of ​​this dense forest is limited, but there are many enemy soldiers and horses, it may be difficult to resist after waiting for a while.

Xie Hou became more silent, but suddenly turned to look at Lin Yao beside him.

Lin Yao was lowering his head and wiping the long knife in his hand, his face was firm, without any panic.

Xie Hou looked at him and remained silent for a long time, until someone searched him and was chopped under the knife, he seemed to have made up his mind.

He suddenly smiled, leaned close to Lin Yao's ear and said softly: "If we are unfortunately exposed, you can leave me alone and escape secretly, you know?"

Lin Yao suddenly raised his head, just about to refute, but Xie Hou stopped his words.

"You've always been smart, so you must know that I'm the one they're looking for, right?" There was no panic in Xie Hou's eyes, but he was determined to die, "I can't get out, but you can, go find Ling Yu, he will Give us back the truth."

With tears in Lin Yao's eyes, he couldn't help shaking his head: "I won't go, I will send you away."

Xie Hou sighed: "I can't go, besides, I'm already old, but you are still young."

As he spoke, there was a touch of love on his face. At a certain moment, he was no longer the decisive general, but like an ordinary father.

Xie Hou looked at the young man in front of him with tears in his smile.

Lin Yao, Yao Ling, you kid, you really suck at using aliases.

You are the child I have watched since I was a child. Even if you change your face and name, how can I not recognize you?

Someone came to search again, but this time everyone didn't have the good luck they had before, and the signal sent out soared into the sky, illuminating the dark night.

Then there were many footsteps sounding, and they were encircling, getting closer.

"This is an order!" Xie Hou pulled out the sword at his waist, turned his head to look at Xu Yaoling for the last time, choked up for a moment, and only said, "...you go quickly."

Suddenly there was thunder, and the torrential rain fell instantly. Xu Yaoling held the long knife tightly, not knowing whether it was rain or tears.

All of this seems to overlap with that night, when he lost his father, but now he is about to lose another elder.

From the beginning to the end, only he survived, carrying a mountain of blood hatred, like a ghost, lingering on to survive.
