Xiao Yu'an was stunned for a moment, and was dragged into the cave immediately. The bearded man let go of him, and knelt down on one knee in front of him: "Your Majesty, I am the lieutenant general of General Li Wuding, you may not know me, but don't worry, I know how to leave This time, I will definitely escort you out."

"I...I'm not..." Xiao Yu'an's voice trembled slightly, he stretched out his hand to pull his beard, "Don't kneel on me, get up quickly."

The bearded man refused to get up, and insisted on kneeling: "Your Majesty, you believe that I can take you out. I have prepared this place and this escape route for a long time. Your Majesty, you have suffered a lot. You have been imprisoned in the enemy's country, and you have been humiliated. insult..."

"No, I stayed here voluntarily." Xiao Yu'an interrupted him suddenly.

The bearded man's voice stopped abruptly, like a piano with broken strings, the lingering sound made people flustered, he raised his head in a daze, but his back suddenly collapsed, he looked at Xiao Yu'an, his eyes full of puzzlement: "You, are you voluntary?" Staying here? How, how could you stay here voluntarily?"

Xiao Yu'an stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said, "You just...just treat me like you, and live on here."

Someone began to call Xiao Yu'an's name loudly from the top of the cliff, and there was a faint tendency to come down.

The bearded man knelt down again, this time with both knees on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have fought for the army of the Northern Kingdom for half my life. During this period, I have never changed my mind. I used to have many brothers, but later they all died on the battlefield. I chose to live on mediocrity, and my conscience has been tormented every day since then, I have dreamed countless times of those dead brothers poking my back and asking me why I am living, Your Majesty, can you tell me why?"

Xiao Yu'an couldn't bear the bearded man's kneeling, so he simply knelt down too: "I'm not the emperor of the Northern Kingdom..."

The bearded man interrupted him loudly: "Your Majesty! Even if the country is broken, you are still our emperor. The King of the Northern Kingdom is branded in your bones and will follow you for the rest of your life. Even if you change your name and surname, even if you It's useless to deny it outright, Your Majesty, let's leave here, maybe we can make a comeback and take back the Northern Kingdom!!!"

The bearded man's words were like a barbed iron whip, every time he uttered a sentence, he slapped Xiao Yu'an's heart once, until he was bloody and bloody under the skin, and he couldn't distinguish Xiao Yu'an's appearance anymore, and he couldn't utter any words of defense.

The bearded man suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist: "Your Majesty, are you really unwilling to leave?"

Xiao Yu'an didn't make a sound for a long time.

"Okay...then forgive me for being rude, and leave first. I had this plan long ago, but I haven't been able to make up my mind. When I saw the emperor today, I couldn't help hugging

After thinking about it for a while, maybe the meaning of my life is to lead the emperor to escape from Nanyan Kingdom. I never thought that the emperor would not leave, and would be willing to become a prisoner... What am I talking about, why should I blame the emperor? You, I obviously betrayed my brothers and surrendered to the enemy..."

The bearded man suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly, he was out of breath, extremely crazy, Xiao Yu'an thought he meant to escape when he said to leave first, but who knew that the bearded man suddenly raised the dagger, the dagger was bright, with a sharp blade cold.

Xiao Yu'an yelled and rushed forward: "Don't!"

It's a pity that it was too late, the bearded man slit his throat, and the warm blood immediately splashed on Xiao Yu'an's body and face, the smell of blood was extremely heavy.

All of a sudden, the sense of powerlessness and fear of being dragged into the abyss by God over and over again took over Xiao Yu'an's body when he tried so hard and wholeheartedly wanted to save Beiguo.

Xiao Yu'an trembled all over, and the sound of the emperor sounded in his ears. Those voices were mixed together, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, sad and desolate.

Xiao Yu'an raised his hand suddenly, slapped himself hard, and then covered his head with both hands.

When the guards climbed down from the cliff to find Xiao Yu'an, the beard had already died, and Xiao Yu'an curled up there with blood splattered all over his body, the guards hurried forward: "Young Master Xiao, are you okay, I'll take you up, and then Report to the emperor..."

Xiao Yu'an suddenly raised his hand, grabbed the guard's arm, raised his head, and said, "Don't tell your majesty, don't say anything."

The two of them agreed that Yan Heqing would be responsible for establishing the country and the country, and he would be responsible for these matters.

At this time, Yan Heqing was reviewing the memorial when he heard a guard coming to report: "Your Majesty, General Xue said he has something important to report."

Yan Heqing raised his head from the memorial, frowned slightly, and said, "Please."

After a while, Xue Yan stepped in, cupped his fists and knelt down: "Your Majesty."

"General Xue, please." Although Yan Heqing was courteous, his attitude was lukewarm, without the intimacy of calling him uncle in the past.

Xue Yan stood up and said, "Report to the emperor that some soldiers in the army conspired to rebel. They were discovered in time and were dealt with and suppressed."

Yan Heqing said: "Yes, General Xue has worked hard."

Xue Yan said: "Your Majesty, the reason for this rebellion is because a lieutenant in the army heard that you were protecting the deposed emperor of the Northern Kingdom..."

Yan Heqing interrupted him: "General Xue, is there anything else? If not, go back and rest first."

Xue Yan was dumb for a moment, he hesitated for a moment, and retreated with fists cupped. He turned around and said suddenly, "He Qing, tell me, do you want love or family and country? Do you want to stay together or the world?"

Yan Heqing didn't take his eyes off the memorial in his hand, he slowly wrote the last sentence, and said in a calm tone: "Uncle, I want both.,,

The thing that Yan Heqing is least afraid of is to try his best to fight for it.

He obviously hasn't put his life on the line to work hard, so why let him make the choice first?

The most difficult thing in this world is that the person you like happens to like you too.

Now that Xiao Yu'an is standing behind him, he won't leave anymore, even if there are thousands of troops, even if he is pointed at by thousands of people, what is there for him, Yan Heqing, to be afraid of?
