After being thoroughly violated, he ran away with the enemy emperor's child.

Chapter 85 Xie Yunzhou was actually him!

Seeing Mo Yan's frankness, Xue Wu paused for a moment, then said, "In that case, let's go in."

"Um."

After removing his outer robe, Mo Yan sat in the wooden tub wearing only his undergarments. Cool scales wrapped around his body, and one of the black snakes suddenly bit his neck.

"Forehead……"

Sweat beaded on his forehead, blood trickled down his wound, Mo Yan's brows furrowed, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"Hold on," the old man said from the side.

"..."

Struggling to suppress his instincts, Mo Yan closed his eyes, his breathing becoming heavy.

Finally, he collapsed in the wooden tub.

"Diploma for entering the city"

A strange male voice interrupted Mo Yan's recollection. He looked up and met the gaze of the soldier guarding the city gate.

"The diploma," the soldier said again.

Mo Yan remained silent, took out the diploma from the package, and handed it to the guard.

The guard took it, glanced at it, and then handed it back to him after a moment: "Go in."

Upon entering the city, Mo Yan remained calm and found a horse shop: "I want the fastest horse."

"Alright, please wait a moment, young master."

Before long, the shopkeeper appeared leading a black steed. "Young master, what do you think of this?"

"Can."

After paying the money to the other party, Mo Yan mounted his horse and was about to leave when he heard the conversation of the surrounding people.

"Have you heard? General Xie is about to enter the city!"

"Young General Xie?!"

"Yes, General Xie has volunteered to guard the border. According to rumors, he'll be able to enter the city soon!"

The sound of conversation reached Mo Yan's ears, and he paused, subconsciously looking towards the city gate.

General Xie? Isn't that Aci?

Is that Aci?

Ah Ci is here?!

According to the intelligence, Aci is currently in Chu Ling's harem...

Could it be that the so-called "General Xie entering the city" is just a smokescreen?

The thought flashed through his mind, and Mo Yan's body seemed to freeze, making him unable to move.

After a while, he dismounted and walked into the crowd.

"Is the General Xie you're talking about Xie Yunzhou?" he asked one of them.

"yes."

The man replied, "Besides the son of the General Who Guards the Nation, who else could be called General Xie the Young Master?"

"Have you seen him?" Mo Yan asked casually, his fingertips lightly twirling.

"I saw him once a few years ago. At that time, the young general came to guard the border with the Grand General and stayed here for a while."

"There's also the Xie family mansion in the city."

"General Xie... what does he look like?" Mo Yan continued to ask.

"Of course, he's handsome and dashing; the girls who like the young general could line up from the west side of the city to the east!"

The man praised Xie Yunzhou several times, and Mo Yan listened inwardly, secretly agreeing: There are indeed quite a few people who like Aci.

"Is General Xie married?"

"no."

The man replied, "It is said that the young general has a sweetheart he loves but cannot have, and has never been interested in anyone else all these years."

"Oh, right."

He whispered mysteriously in Mo Yan's ear, "Rumor has it that the person he loves is also a man, and someone once saw a portrait of him drawn by the young general!"

"..."

"But these are all just rumors. Which young master from a prominent family doesn't have rumors surrounding him?"

"…Um."

He responded softly, his heart pounding. He looked at the city gate again, thinking: Ah Ci, could it be you?

Doubts made Mo Yan stop in his tracks. He stared intently at the city gate, hoping to see the figure he longed for day and night.

But as darkness fell, he still hadn't seen the person he wanted to see.

The streets were already lined with people, all gazing at the city gate, hoping to see the son of General Xie Yun.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the scout who had gone outside the city to gather information finally appeared. He rode his horse, his face beaming with undisguised joy: "The young general is here!"

"The young general is back!"

He repeated himself twice, and as soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding people cheered, "The young general has arrived!"

In this heightened emotional state, Mo Yan couldn't help but feel nervous. He had never felt this nervous, not even on the night he seized the throne.

Every minute felt like an eternity; his breathing became rapid, and his heart pounded wildly.

The joy of "reunion" filled his heart, and he nervously curled his fingertips.

Fifteen minutes later, the dark army finally appeared, led by a man in armor who sat atop a tall horse.

The moment they saw him, the people excitedly raised their arms: "Little General!"

"Young general, you're back!"

Mo Yan was completely stunned. He stared at the leader's face, speechless for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, he asked the people around him, "Is he... Xie Yunzhou?"

"yes."

Someone replied, "The young general is still the same as before, handsome enough to charm countless girls!"

"..."

While Mo Yan remained silent, Xie Yunzhou, sitting on horseback, also looked at him.

The face that came into view was unremarkable, but for some reason, Xie Yunzhou felt that the person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Coincidentally, the passerby was also looking at him, his eyes flashing with emotions he couldn't understand.

But soon, the passerby lowered his head, turned around, and moved away from the crowd.

Among the crowds lining the streets to welcome him, the figure silently leaving stood out, and he couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.

Suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind, and he paused, his eyes filled with turbulent emotions.

He remembered the passerby's back view—

Almost exactly like Mo Yan!

During the time he hid in the wardrobe of Qiyue Palace in Zhao Kingdom, he could see Mo Yan's back almost every day, tall and self-important...

Thinking of this, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and he waved to his deputy: "Go and investigate that person's identity."

"Yes."

The lieutenant rode away, and Xie Yunzhou watched Mo Yan's departing figure, thinking to himself: I hope it's just his imagination.

Ahead, Mo Yan mounted his horse, his face ashen. "Giddy up!"

As he urged his horse out of the city, Mo Yan's mind was in turmoil. He had initially thought Aci was Xie Yunzhou, but if the people hadn't lied to him...

That wild man who took Aci out of the city was Xie Yunzhou!

If everything is as he suspects, then wouldn't Aci's identity be...?

His face turned pale instantly.

No, it's impossible.

He must be overthinking it.

Forcibly suppressing his speculations about Aci's identity, Mo Yan narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Xie Yunzhou..."

God knows how shocked he was when he saw that the "Little General Xie" the people were talking about was actually that wild man!

The person who almost lured Aci away was actually the real Xie Yunzhou?!

All the declarations of love he had shown to Xie Yunzhou during this period flooded his mind, and Mo Yan couldn't help but feel nauseous!

"Damn it!"

"Xie, Yun, Zhou."

He spoke slowly and deliberately, and began to tighten his grip on the reins.
