The Rebirth Of The General Who Always Sees Himself As A Replacement

Xu Zhiwei said helplessly: “Lieutenant Xiahou, the discipline and rules in our military camp is strict enough, who would dare cause trouble? Watch your words.
Besides, Mu-gongzi came here appointed by an Imperial Decree.
On behalf of the Emperor, he came to perform Imperial duties-….”

“Aiyah!” Xiahou Hu interrupted Xu Zhiwei’s words impatiently.
“I was just saying.
But it’s the truth! Look at this little Xiongdi’s tender skin and handsome appearance.
Although he’s clearly a man, our military camp is full of tough men, who are as ruthless and vicious as wolves and tigers.
Who knows if someone might have a wicked mind….?”

Xiahou Hu suddenly fell silent, because Gu Heyan stared at him with a frown.
Gu Heyan’s eyes appeared as frightening as the iron-like claws of an eagle, stained with thick blood after a hunt.

Although Xiahou Hu didn’t understand why General Gu became angry all of a sudden, he knew that he didn’t have a reliable mouth, so he shut up obediently.

Mu Zhiming was easygoing, and he wasn’t annoyed by Xiahou Hu’s words.
Instead, he laughed out loud and said: “Xiahou-xiong, don’t worry.
I’m not as weak as I look.
Besides, I also brought my bodyguard with me.”

“That’s right!” Wen Heyin was tired of hearing this, so he said angrily: “Do you think I don’t exist? Who would dare to bully my Young Master when I’m with him? Are they looking for death?”

After hearing Wen Heyin’s disrespectful words, Mu Zhiming hurried to stop him: “A’Yin.”

Wen Heyin muttered something and turned his head away.

Gu Heyan, who had been silent for a long time, slowly opened his mouth and said indifferently to Mu Zhiming: “You’ll be living in the military camp from now on.
If there’s anything you need, you can look for these two.”

“Alright,” Mu Zhiming nodded.
“Thank you, Gu-xiong.”

“Hmm, I’ll leave first.
Your tent is ready, Military Adviser Xu will lead you there.” Gu Heyan said.
After averting his gaze, he saluted Mu Zhiming, turned around, and left.

It was the same as the previous life.
After a simple exchange of pleasantries, Gu Heyan and Mu Zhiming no longer interacted in the military camp….
Until Gu Heyan snapped and forced Mu Zhiming to return to the Capital.

Even in this life, Gu Heyan still had no intention of asking for anything.
He had been alone for too long, and never believed there would be a light at the end of his path.

Gu Heyan turned back and took big steps towards his horse, but after taking two long steps, he stopped.

Since Mu Zhiming had grabbed his arm.

“Gu-xiong.” Mu Zhiming asked with some hesitation: “Why are you so eager to go? Do you still have military duties to attend to?”

Gu Heyan looked at the hand pulling on his arm.
As if someone had cast an immobilization spell on him, Gu Heyan stiffened and didn’t dare to move: “….Yes.”

“But it’s already so late at night.
Are the military duties that difficult to deal with? But, I guess you really are that kind of man who has to do everything by himself.
I admire you, Gu-xiong, because you’re a man whose actions are in harmony with the principles of the Heavens.” After saying this with emotion, Mu Zhiming smiled again and added: “Then, when you are free, can I come find you?”

Gu Heyan replied: “If you need help with the Gouji Kingdom, Xiahou Hu knows more about it than I do.”

Mu Zhiming said: “I didn’t mean to look for you for official business”

Gu Heyan was confused: “Then why would you look for me?”

“I….” Mu Zhiming smiled, feeling somewhat embarrassed, but finally said: “I just wanted to talk with you.
Have a conversation, catch up, and such.
Can’t I?”

Gu Heyan: “….”

After remaining silent for what felt like an eternity, Gu Heyan finally forced himself to utter a word: “Alright.”

“Really?!” Mu Zhiming’s eyes sparkled with joy.

Gu Heyan’s tone didn’t waver as he uttered: “Hmm.”

Xu Zhiwei, who had observed both young men’s actions, suddenly lowered his voice and whispered to Xiahou Hu: “Lieutenant Xiahou, I suddenly remembered something important.”

“What is it?” Xiahou Hu was puzzled.

Xu Zhiwei sighed: “Our General Gu is, indeed, only 19 years old.”

Xiahou Hu was even more puzzled: “Isn’t that something everyone fucking knows already?”

Xu Zhiwei shook his head: “You don’t understand.”

“Huh?” Xiahou Hu kept being confused.
“If I don’t understand, then explain it to me.”

“There’s nothing to explain.” Xu Zhiwei simply felt that it was worthless to try.
“You have to feel it with your heart, you know?”

“Feel it with your heart?!”
