They all say I'm a tyrant

It is said that the weather in April is changeable, and the weather in autumn might as well let it go.When you woke up in the morning, it was still cloudy, and when You Yan hurried to the imperial city, it was already raining.The autumn rain is pattering, although it is not heavy, it is continuous.When You Yan came all the way to the gate of Changle Palace, his whole body was drenched completely.

Gao Yong, who was waiting at the gate of the palace, was taken aback when he saw You Yan walking so fast, and hurried forward: "Why is the general in such a mess, it's very cold, be careful of catching cold." He pointed to his side The waiter said, "Hurry up and ask someone to bring hot water, and ask the kitchen to bring some hot ginger soup."

You Yan waved his hand and pushed open the gate of Changle Palace. He strode inwards and said, "It's okay. Where is Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is waiting for the general in the inner hall." Gao Yong followed You Yan and found a dry thin blanket, "Do you want to change into a robe first?"

You Yan didn't answer, took the thin blanket, put it on his shoulders, and went straight into the inner hall.

Lin Ce was standing in front of the window, wondering what he was thinking about, disturbed by You Yan's hasty footsteps, turned his head and saw You Yan was soaked and in a state of distress, couldn't help frowning, and picked up a dry cloth towel beside him for him After wiping her hair, she looked up at Gao Yong who was following behind: "Bring some hot water in."

"The maidservant has ordered people to prepare and will come right away." Gao Yong hurriedly replied.

You Yan shook his head, pressed Lin Ce's hand that was wiping his hair, took the cloth towel, and rubbed it on his head twice, looked up at Lin Ce: "What happened to Southwest?"

Lin Ce frowned and looked at him, but without answering, he untied You Yan's belt without saying a word, and took off the wet robe on his body. Clean laundry presented.

Because You Yan was anxious about the war in the southwest, he didn't pay attention to the rain just now, but he still calmed down and let Lin Ce change into a dry robe from the inside to the outside, watching Gao Yong retreat and tighten his eyes. After closing the palace door, he shook Lin Ce's hand: "Can you tell me now?"

Lin Ce looked at him, reached out and touched his head, turned around and picked up a secret letter that had obviously been opened from the desk, and handed it to him.

You Yan held the hand of the secret letter for a moment of hesitation, and couldn't help raising his head to look at Lin Ce's expression. He felt that the matter was probably far more serious than he expected, because he rarely met Lin Ce's face. Seeing such a dignified expression on the Internet, especially with the obvious worry mixed in it...it should be for myself.

You Yan lowered his eyes, glanced at the secret letter in his hand, wondering if it was because he didn't sleep well last night, he felt a dull pain in his forehead again, and even his eyelids began to tremble slightly.

He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and suddenly felt that his behavior at the moment was a little ridiculous, and he started to worry about things he didn't know yet.He took a deep breath, shook his head, and opened the secret letter in his hand.

The content of the secret letter is actually very simple, only a short sentence, You Yan held the thin paper and looked at it for a long time before raising his head to look at Lin Ce: "Yingdu City was defeated, Tao Jiang died for the country ?”

Lin Ce closed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "This secret letter was sent by the secret guard, and there is only this sentence. The military newspaper from the Southwest has not yet arrived, so I don't know what's going on now."

"Tao Jiang went to the southwest with [-] reinforcements. In addition to the previous defenders in the southwest, the strength of the troops alone has already defeated the enemy by several times. Not to mention that in the past few months, our army has won successive victories and the morale is high. Even if we attack Yingdu City If you fail, you won't even have a retreat, and you will be defeated in less than ten days to the point where the general died in battle?" You Yan raised his voice and squeezed the secret letter in his hand tightly, "I have known Tao Jiang for many years, he Although he looks like a military general, he is not so reckless. Especially when it comes to such an important matter as attacking Yingdu City."

Lin Ce held his hand, and his palm felt icy cold. I don't know if it was because of the rain just now, or because of the contents of the secret letter just now.Lin Ce sighed silently, pulled him to sit down on the soft bed, poured him a cup of hot tea and fed him a few sips, then knelt down in front of him and held his hand tightly.

Lin Ce has never been good at comforting others, especially when facing You Yan.After all, if even You Yan couldn't figure out something, his consolation would be useless.

You Yan was still holding the secret letter in his hand, but the content of the letter was so simple that he had no way of guessing what was going on in Southwest Jiujing at the moment.And the disadvantage of not sleeping well the night before reappeared, he raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and in the end he just let out a sigh.

He leaned down, buried half of his face in Lin Ce's hands, and closed his eyes.You Yan couldn't understand his current feelings at first, but after a while he realized that he was helpless.

The hidden guards were all trained by Tao Jiang himself, they were loyal and reliable, especially in this kind of matter, they should be rigorous and conscientious, and no negligence or mistakes were allowed.But if this is the case, You Yan can't figure it out. Tao Jiang, who was young and vigorous and didn't know how to retreat back then, could retreat from the northwest completely. Why would Tao Jiang, who has grown into a reliable general, be so easy four years later? Killed in the Southwest.

That day in the northwest, the battle situation was critical. They experienced all kinds of dangers. Tao Jiang was able to rescue You Yan, who only had three-legged cat skills. So what kind of battle situation and what happened in the southwest now? What made Tao Jiang lose his own life?

It's not that You Yan has never experienced farewell. He saw too many scenes in the northwest, especially all kinds of tragic scenes.The little soldier who greeted him with a silly smile before the battle in the morning may turn into a bloody corpse at noon, with the long sword still firmly held in his hand, his eyes wide open, but There is no more look.

At that time, You Yan thought more than once, what would be in their minds at the moment before they died, would they miss their homeland thousands of miles away, would they regret why they put on this military uniform that day?

He had seen too many of those scenes, and it was precisely because of this that he once thought he had seen through life and death.People are alive, and one day they have to leave. Family members, relatives and friends, even him, and Lin Ce, who is called Long Live, will die one day. This is a fate that must be passed by a person, and no one can change it. .

Especially those who were born in the army, most of them should know that from the day they left the capital to go to the southwest, their lives are more... easily lost than others.

But at this moment, You Yan only felt a faint pain in his chest, even though he could see through life and death, it was still difficult to accept.

All kinds of thoughts rushed into You Yan's mind at this moment. He remembered that Tao Jiang had practiced for him that day before he set off for the expedition, and remembered that he had promised to find a marriage for him and let him marry him. His wife started a family, and he remembered Tao Jiang's countless times in the vast desert in the northwest, charging into battle and fighting the enemy bravely.At that time, he was not even considered a general, and all he fought was to save his You Yan's life.

But now, Tao Jiang has finally become a general who stands upright and serves the country and the people, but he has ended up like this, the end of the horse leather shroud. Is this the fate given to a general by heaven?

Lin Ce's free hand touched the top of You Yan's wet head again and again. He still maintained the posture of squatting and kneeling in front of You Yan, but he didn't feel tired at all.He couldn't say any words of comfort, so he could only stay by You Yan's side like this.

"Your Majesty," Gao Yong's voice came in lowly from outside, "The hot water is ready, should you bring it in now?"

Lin Ce lowered his head and glanced at You Yan, his face was a bit tangled, while hesitating, You Yan raised his head, forced a smile to Lin Ce, then turned his head to the door of the palace and said, "Please, please bring it here." After saying that, he raised his hand to pull Lin Ce up, and even reached out to touch his knee, "It's very cold on the ground, don't you know how to get up?"

Lin Ce shook his head, and just about to speak, he heard You Yan say: "Huai Cheng, don't worry, I'm fine."

Lin Ce responded, You Yan got up and stood in front of Lin Ce, put his arms around his waist, and buried his face in his neck: "It's just that even I, there are always things that I can't do. Birth, old age, sickness and death, the fate of people, There was nothing I could do but watch. So I talked myself into accepting and understanding. I seem to have done it over the years. I can accept many things and understand many things, whether they are good for me or not. Bad things, I accept the inevitability of their occurrence. But even so, I am just an ordinary person, since people have birth, old age, sickness and death, they will also have joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys, and I am no exception."

Lin Ce hugged his back and patted him softly: "It looks like something must have happened in the southwest, and the military report should be delivered right away, and then we will know exactly what happened there. What happened to Yingdu City, and why did Tao Jiang die."

"Well," You Yan responded, "at that moment, I thought of many things in the past, and finally I couldn't help but think about the situation in the Southwest. I still don't know how the battle is going, how Tao Jiang lost, So I don't know what the others are doing now, how much we have lost. It's just that without Tao Jiang, the loss of the main general in the Southwest is equivalent to giving Fan Guo an opportunity. Now that things have reached such a point, even if you I don’t want to, but this time, maybe I still have to go there in person.”

Lin Ce's throat was choked, but he still didn't argue with You Yan at this moment, he just said: "We will discuss this matter later, let's wait for the army to report." He turned his head, Gao Yong had already brought in hot water, "The hot water is here, go wash it first."

The author has something to say: the general dies in a hundred battles, and the strong man returns after ten years.

Everyone has his destiny.
