How to Survive As a Villain

The granary of the Nanyan Kingdom was burned down, giving the exhausted soldiers of the Northern Kingdom a chance to breathe. For the next three days, all the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom who guarded the city were weeping and crying, as if they were about to merge into the boundless snow.

Three days later, news of the war reached the palace.

The minister tremblingly reported: "Your Majesty, General Xie has sent the food to the frontier, but General Li... he..."

Before the minister could finish his words, Xiao Yu'an suddenly had a sharp pain in his chest. The pain made him frowned and he could hardly breathe. He held his heart tightly, and heard the sound of all his efforts to change the fate of the Northern Kingdom collapsed in an instant. That was also the sound of the Northern Kingdom's subjugation. .

"Emperor, Your Majesty... General Li..."

Xiao Yu'an closed his eyes tiredly, the minister knew it without saying anything.

Li Wuding rebelled.

"General Li... led [-] elite soldiers, sneaked into the enemy's camp, tried to rob food, but... but... fell into the enemy's trap, and the whole, the whole army was wiped out. .....

None, none, none survived. "

Xiao Yu'an suddenly opened his eyes, stood up abruptly, his breathing was rapid, his lips were pale and trembling: "You...you said...what..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Yu'an suddenly coughed up blood, spit out the scarlet blood from his mouth, and spilled it all over the ground, which was shocking.

"Your Majesty!!!" Someone shouted from all around.

Xiao Yu'an covered his bleeding mouth, only felt tinnitus and dizziness, he couldn't hear anything, and there seemed to be a stagnation in his heart, which made him feel colic all over his body.

How could this be?

Isn't Li Wuding the male second?

How could he die?

Why didn't they rebel, why did they all die in battle?

Suddenly, the figure of Hongxiu flashed in front of Xiao Yu'an's eyes, she stood in front of the window, the pear blossoms fell silently like snow, she turned her head and smiled at Xiao Yu'an, "Your Majesty."

Xiao Yu'an took a sharp step back, and raised his head again, his eyes were full of helplessness and despair.

Did he change something in the dark?Just like Hongxiu died?Why did this happen, why, he just wanted to protect the North Country, but why did more people die every time?

Hissing tinnitus exploded in Xiao Yu'an's mind, like Jie Jie's sly laugh, mocking his incompetence, laughing at the three thousand more life debts on his shoulders.

Days of hard work and blows came one after another, Xiao Yu'an finally couldn't hold on, his vision went dark, and he passed out.

When Xiao Yu'an woke up, he saw Princess Yongning sitting on the side of the bed with red eyes. Seeing him waking up, he choked and asked in a panic: "Brother Emperor, how are you feeling? Are you okay?"

Xiao Yu'an reached out and stroked her hair: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Princess Yongning lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her eyes, almost crying again.

"Ning'er, can you promise me one thing?" Xiao Yu'an propped himself up and sat up.

"Yongning promises, as long as the emperor's brother is good, Yongning promises everything." Princess Yongning raised her head.

Xiao Yu'an smiled, his eyes were as moist as water: "No matter what happens in the future, you must live on, you can't seek death, okay?"

Princess Yongning showed doubts, but she still nodded seriously.

Xiao Yu'an pressed his heart that was still throbbing with pain: "How is the front line?"

"Go back to the emperor." A minister beside the bed hurriedly reported, "General Xie has taken over General Li's position and is already dispatching troops to rectify."

Xiao Yu'an let out a soft hum, and sat on the bed, his shoulders were slightly slumped, his lips were slightly parted, his eyes were distracted, he seemed to be thinking about something, after a long silence, he said: "I want... to open an altar to sacrifice."

The sacrifices in the Northern Kingdom need live sheep and pigs. After hearing this, the minister hurriedly said: "I will prepare it now."

Xiao Yu'an said: "No need, you don't need to prepare anything, just three sticks of incense will do, I'm not offering sacrifices to heaven."

The minister was stunned for a moment, and hurried to prepare.

At dusk, regardless of his physical discomfort, Xiao Yu'an came to the altar of offering sacrifices to heaven outside the imperial city.

Speaking of which, the last time he came here, Yan Heqing was still beside him, and it was also the 99 steps, and it was also the blood-stained dark crow and setting sun.

A few months later, it seemed like a lifetime away.

Xiao Yu'an knelt on the Temple of Heaven, the wind and snow were howling, and the cold air was piercing. Xiao Yu'an held three sticks of incense, took a deep breath of air-conditioning, and knelt down.

This bow, raised his eyes again, his whole body trembled, tears welled up like springs, thin snowflakes fell on Xiao Yu'an's body, but it seemed to be able to crush him, the wind was majestic, like the low roar of three thousand angry ghosts, those mournful voices pressed Looking at his head, he questioned why he let Yan Heqing go regardless of the safety of the North Country. He murmured in a low voice, his voice choked and weak: "I really tried my best, I'm sorry. I'm sorry..."

——Month, Frost's Great Cold.

Xie Chungui led the army to fight stubbornly for two full months, but was finally defeated.

The North Country can no longer recover.

Two days later, tens of thousands of cavalry came to the city.
