I became my ex-husband's cat after rebirth

◎"He said, Ah Sheng, I'm sorry."◎

It was only when he heard footsteps outside the door that Gu Yuan woke up from his drowsy nightmare.

It was dark and gloomy all around, except for a little skylight leaking from a small porthole on the top of the back.

He moved his limbs and found that his hands and feet were chained, and he was immersed in icy cold water from the waist down.

This is a water dungeon.

He hooked the corner of his mouth, showing a somewhat bitter smile, and sighed softly from the bottom of his heart.

He expected it well.

Although Sui Xi had no intention of killing He Lianxiao for the time being, the accumulated enmity from the long-term hostility made it difficult for the captured hostages.

What he said in front of He Liansheng earlier was just to comfort the other party.

but……

He Liansheng is so smart, he should be able to guess it, otherwise, he wouldn't be so anxious.

He moved the chain, found a slightly more comfortable position, then raised his eyes and saw the person standing outside the cell door.

The man in front of him was probably in his early forties, with rough and deep eyebrows unique to Suixi people. There were two new scars on his left cheek, which were slightly hideous. They were fresh wounds caused by arrows passing by his cheeks during this battle.

His eyes are very bright, sharp like a wolf, which makes his demeanor look a bit gloomy.

He looked at Gu Yuan and said, "Master Gu doesn't seem to be in good health."

His tone had Sui Xi's unique accent, which sounded a bit cold and jerky.

Gu Yuan smiled.

"Indeed." He coughed, "I have some old diseases on my body, which made General Chai laugh at me."

The person in front of him was none other than General Chai Huan of the Western Sui Dynasty.

His calm and unhurried attitude caused a gleam of light to flash in Chai Huan's eyes.

interesting.

he thinks.

He had just lost a battle, and it was just when he was angry, but fortunately, there was an unexpected harvest.

The fifth prince of Liang Chu was young and inexperienced, but his temper was extremely tough.

He was played around by the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses he led, but the newborn tiger was still too tender, and when he grabbed the opponent, Chai Huan deliberately wanted to torture him.

However, as soon as he was thrown into prison, someone came to spread the word, and Liang Chu sent an envoy.

He originally thought that the other party was here to negotiate, but he didn't expect that the other party made a request that surprised him.

"To be honest." Chai Huan said, "I still have a feeling of being cheated."

"You Liangchu people." He licked his lips, "Sometimes, you are really cunning."

Gu Yuan smiled.

His body is very weak, and he can't actually stand the cold, but now, it is obvious that he cannot be picky and picky.

"What I said is true, if the general doesn't believe it." He took a breath, "You can find someone to find out."

"Emperor Liang Chu has been hostile to his younger brother for a long time, and he can't wait to get rid of it." Chai Huan said slowly, "So, even if he is captured, it will not have any threat to the court. This is when you told me."

"Yes, in terms of relationship, the relationship between me and the Holy Majesty is indeed better than that between His Highness Fifth Highness and him." Gu Yuan's voice was a little soft, "This is personal."

"Yu Gong, arresting an unfavored prince and arresting an important official has the same humiliating effect on Liang Chu, isn't it?"

This is also the reason why Chai Huan agreed to Gu Yuan at that time.

After Gu Yuan came, the information he asked to investigate was simultaneously passed to him.

He Lianxiao was the prince who was released from house arrest. Except for him, all the brothers of Emperor Liang Chu died. Obviously, his existence was already an eyesore.

But at the same time, the person in front of him was a highly trusted minister of the emperor. In comparison, taking him as a hostage was indeed much better than the former.

A gleam flashed in Chai Huan's eyes.

"What you said before." He said, "Is it true?"

Gu Yuan smiled with difficulty.

"Naturally," he said.

"I sent myself to my door, and I regret my life too. I don't want to die for the time being." He said softly, "Don't you believe General Chai?"

Chai Huan paused.

When Gu Yuan first came, he thought about keeping both of them.

He Lianxiao was in his hands. In this matter, they, Sui Xi, obviously took the initiative, so why should they abide by the one-for-one rule.

But Gu Yuan had a secret conversation with him.

Gu Yuan told him that the reason why he wanted to save He Lianxiao was because He Lianxiao was the elder brother of his sweetheart.

And his sweetheart was killed by He Lianjin four years ago.

Therefore, he didn't want to stay in Liang Chu for a long time.

When he came this time, he had already made an appointment with Liang Chu's generals to take the opportunity to lure Sui Xi into the bait.

If Sui Xi is willing to let He Lianxiao go, he will tell Sui Xi about his plan.

"But your sweetheart is dead." Chai Huan smiled, "What if, you really don't want to live anymore?"

The fact that Gu Yuan is here proves that Chai Huan has believed in him.

This trust also came from intelligence, which showed that Gu Yuan did have a dead "wife".

He was killed by He Lianjin himself.

The revenge of killing his wife is irreconcilable.

Gu Yuan was silent for a moment.

"Then I." He smiled, "It's not worth it, I'm working hard for He Lianjin, General Chai, don't you think so?"

Chai Huan laughed.

The man in front of him was so young and handsome that people were shocked. When he said those words just now, Chai Huan could imagine the man in high spirits above the court.

"Your sweetheart," he said, "has a good eye."

He paused, "Presumably, he loves you very much, and you love him too."

Gu Yuan's eyelashes trembled.

This time, he was silent for a long time.

After a while, Chai Huan heard his soft answer.

"Yes." He said, "He loves me very much, and I love him very much."

Just let him lie to himself for a while, maybe...

It's the last time.

For the last time, he pretended that he and He Liansheng were still together in front of others.

They are still a matching pair.

Chai Huan looked at him and gave a "tsk".

"It's touching," he said.

He smiled, "However, whether you can live or not depends on whether your information is accurate. In addition..."

He waved his hand, and soon, someone brought a set of torture equipment.

"Although, this is not a good way to treat guests." He said, "But as a hostage, even if it is for the dead souls who died for Sui Xi, it can't make Mr. Gu live too comfortably. I'm going to trouble my lord, take some flesh and blood first suffering."

After that, he picked one from the torture tools, and picked out a whip dipped in salt water.

In Liang Chu's camp, He Liansheng gritted his teeth and looked at Zhu Shishi in front of him:

"……What did you say?"

Zhu Shishi looked at him and fell silent.

"Is he crazy?" He Liansheng almost felt that he was a little out of choice, he looked at Zhu Shiyi, as if he spoke some foreign language, "Doesn't he know how much Suixi people hate us? He is alive and well, why did he go to find..."

The word "death" was hanging on the tip of his tongue embarrassingly, and He Liansheng suddenly calmed down when he looked at Zhu Shishi's calm eyes.

……Yes.

he thinks.

Gu Yuan was living a good life, why did he suddenly seek death?

Because it was his own brother who was captured.

He remembered what Gu Yuan asked him before.

-Does Your Highness really want His Highness Fifth to come back?

That's not a nonsense.

That was Gu Yuan telling himself that the person he likes really wants to fulfill this wish.

With this thought, he made up his mind to change himself out so quickly.

At this moment, Zhu Shishi suddenly spoke.

"That day." He said calmly, "He thought you were really with me, and told me to treat you well and not make you sad again."

He Liansheng pursed his lips tightly.

"He knows it too." He whispered, "He used to...make me very sad."

Bamboo Eleven paused.

"So." He said, "He seems to be learning how to make up for it."

Helian Sheng smiled.

Zhu Shiyi suddenly reached out and rubbed his head.

This action used to be common when He Liansheng was a cat, but since He Liansheng became an adult, it never happened again.

He Liansheng was rubbed by him, and raised his eyes in a daze.

"Don't force yourself to laugh." Zhu Shiyi said, "I think you are about to cry."

"……I do not have."

He Liansheng still couldn't hold back his rebuttal.

He did not.

He just suddenly...

He Liansheng closed his eyes.

Forget it.

He suddenly found that he wasn't even in the mood to argue with Zhu Shishi.

"I give up." Zhu Shishi suddenly said.

He Liansheng was taken aback.

Then, he realized what Zhu Shishi was talking about.

Strange to say, at the beginning He Liansheng was afraid of giving him fearless hope, and even took the risk of being sentimental, and took the initiative to cut off his thoughts.

So much so that Zhu Shishi liked him, and he was always in an embarrassment between making it clear and not making it clear.

After all, if Zhu Shiyi didn't make it clear, He Liansheng couldn't completely refuse.

He has been having a headache about this matter, but he didn't expect that the other party would suddenly bring it up today.

After a while, he said, "OK."

Zhu Shishi looked at him: "Why don't you ask?"

He Liansheng was silent.

Even he himself felt that his reaction was too agitated.

Just because the other party saved his brother, it is not justified at all.

In fact, he can't think very much now, in a trance, He Liansheng remembered the self who was the first time he saw Gu Yuan, and he was only thinking about marrying him.

Gu Yuan...

Gu Yuan always has the ability to make him trance.

Sometimes, he wondered if he owed Gu Yuan in his previous life.

"I don't think so." Zhu Shiyi said, "He can do such a thing, but I can't, so I give up."

He Liansheng looked at him.

Zhu Shishi smiled at him: "If I am qualified to change your brother back, I will go too."

But he was out of luck.

If he was the first to meet He Liansheng instead of Gu Yuan, if he was not a hidden guard, but someone as important as He Lianxiao, if...

But there are no ifs in this world.

"He Liansheng." He called his name for the first time, very calmly, "I like you no less than Gu Yuan."

With this sentence, he put an end to his feelings.

Then, he picked up the kitten who ran in, put it in He Liansheng's arms, turned and left the tent.

After Zhu Shiyi left the tent, it took a long time before He Liansheng let out a breath and closed his eyes.

He sat down with the kitten in his arms and nursed it.

The wood is done.

Since Gu Yuan has already arrived in Suixi, it means that his exchange plan was known and agreed by Wu Cen and Jing Chi.

He didn't even have to think about what reason the other party was using.

Anyway...

That person always has a way.

The little milk cat was full, rolled in his arms, stretched its body, and then gave a coquettish "meow".

He Liansheng looked at it, unconsciously lost in thought.

He remembered when the little milk cat first came to his tent.

At that time, the first reaction in his heart was to think that Gu Yuan might also like it.

But in fact, Gu Yuan probably doesn't like cats very much.

He remembered that Gu Yuan brought him back in the shape of a cat just because they had the same pair of different pupils.

He let out a breath.

... He found that he could no longer think of the word Gu Yuan.

On the second day, Sui Xi sent them the conditions for releasing the hostages and peace talks.

"Ridiculous!" Jing Chi laughed angrily, "Not only do you want to give the city and the princess, but you also need to give silver taels every year. Is Sui Xi talking like a lion?"

"It seems." Wu Cen was calmer than him, "Master Gu's plan is indeed very successful."

Jing Chi was startled, and then understood what was going on.

If Sui Xi dared to speak like this, it must be Gu Yuan who said something to them, making them think that Gu Yuan was very important to Liang Chu.

In fact, Wu Cen was very worried that Gu Yuan would go, not only would he not be able to get He Lianxiao back, but Chai Huan would stay in Suixi together.

But He Lianxiao still came back.

Sui Xi is not someone who pays attention to reciprocity and rules. The reason why she can accept the so-called "conditions" must be because of what Gu Yuan said to them, which made them believe the other party's words.

At this moment, a soldier hurried in from outside the door.

"His Highness Fifth is awake." He said, "I want to see the two generals."

The two were taken aback for a moment, and then strode out.

He Liansheng followed behind them.

He Lianxiao was obviously tortured, he was in a coma when he came back, and he will wake up now.

His brows and eyes were pale, He Liansheng jumped when he saw it.

First he felt sorry for He Lianxiao, then he thought of Gu Yuan.

It took only half a day for He Lianxiao to be captured, and he was injured like this, so Gu Yuan...

He clenched his palms unconsciously, and heard He Lianxiao speak hastily:

"quick."

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes with difficulty, and said quickly, "Suixi will raid the south tonight. General Wu and General Jing must set up additional defenses on the south tonight. Then send troops to open the gap from the north, and the defenses there will Very weak. With this opportunity, we can hit Anbei Pass in one fell swoop."

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the tent were stunned.

After a while, it was Jingchi who came back to his senses first: "There is indeed a gap where the Suixi Army is stationed now, so all their forces are concentrated there. If they can repel them, they can indeed hit Anbeiguan in one fell swoop."

"At that time." Wu Cen said, "It's not us asking for peace talks, but they begging us for peace talks."

He paused, "Your Highness, where did you get this information?"

He Liansheng suddenly had a very bad premonition.

He raised his eyes.

"I..." He Lianxiao moved his lips and took a deep breath, "When I was replaced, I met Master Gu once."

He closed his eyes, "Master Gu sent me a signal."

When they alternated, Gu Yuan quickly wrote a 2 on his palm under the cover of his sleeve robe.

They had simulated several plans that would be adopted after Sui Xi's defeat, and among them was a plan that they would sneak attack from the south in the middle of the night.

There is a natural barrier near the river in the south, so their military deployment is weaker than that in the north.

"If you want to attack by surprise," Wu Cen said, "the sooner the better, it must be tonight. The premise is that the news is true, but..."

He paused suddenly.

After getting along for a long time, they trusted Gu Yuan.

Among other things, Wu Cen is Gu Yuan's biological uncle, and he knows his nephew very well.

He can't do anything to betray his family and country.

But, but...

"If it's true." He closed his eyes and murmured, "He..."

Jing Chi sighed and patted his shoulder.

On the other side, He Liansheng's mind went blank.

He stood up abruptly.

He Lianxiao couldn't bear to call his name: "Little..."

He took a deep breath.

"Your Highness." He said softly, "General Wu and the others will try their best to keep Master Gu."

Wu Cen finally came back to his senses.

At this moment, no one noticed why He Lianxiao only comforted He Liansheng.

Wu Cen said, "Hurry up."

"Yes." Jing Chi also said, "If they can penetrate Sui Xi, they won't be able to think of Mr. Gu for a while. They have to propose peace talks before thinking about it. Only in this way can his life be saved."

After talking, the two went out of the tent to prepare.

Only He Liansheng was left in the tent.

"Xiaoqi."

He Lianxiao called his name softly.

Helian Sheng didn't speak.

He Lianxiao smiled wryly: "If I knew, he traded himself out to save me, I wouldn't let..."

"Don't blame Fifth Brother." He Liansheng interrupted him.

After the words came out, he realized that his voice was already hoarse, and there was still a little tremor in his voice.

"Don't blame Fifth Brother." He closed his eyes and said again, "We are all very happy that Fifth Brother is back. Brother, don't feel burdened."

He Lianxiao looked at him with a gentle voice, apologetic: "...but that's someone Xiao Qi likes."

He paused and said softly, "Isn't it?"

He Liansheng suddenly closed his eyes.

He couldn't say "no".

"I..." he said softly, his voice trembling, "Fifth brother, I..."

He Lianxiao raised his hand with difficulty and stroked his hair.

He Liansheng's eyes suddenly turned red, and he grabbed He Lianxiao's sleeve almost immediately.

He is now at a loss, unable to think about anything, and dare not think about anything.

"Just now." He Lianxiao said, "There is one thing I didn't say, it's not suitable for General Wu and General Jing to know about this matter."

"I can probably guess what method Gu Yuan used to gain Chai Huan's trust." He said softly, "When I left, he asked me to..."

He paused, "Let me go to your grave and say a few words."

Not many people knew that He Liansheng was still alive, but He Lianxiao and Gu Yuan knew each other well.

It is self-evident what this "before the grave" refers to.

"One sentence is yes." He Lianxiao said softly, "He said, he loves you very much, always."

He Liansheng tightly gripped the cloth under his hands, almost biting his lower lip to bleed.

"One more thing..." He Lianxiao said softly.

"He said, Ah Sheng, I'm sorry."
