Gu Yan: He joined his boss in a rebellion, and they were on the verge of victory and becoming founding heroes.
Then his boss suddenly said, “Forget it. The emperor has promised to make my godson crown prince. Let's pull out!”
Gu Yan: “??? Boss, wake up! We rebelled! If we go back, we'll be wiped out to the ninth degree, won't we?”
Sure enough, the hardheaded brothers who urged the boss to take the throne were cut down by the boss himself!
The bloody reality was plain: either his boss would “follow his heart” and get them killed, or the emperor would wipe out their entire clan!
Gu Yan flew into a rage. “I'm done playing this stupid game! A clan-wiping elimination game? I'll eliminate you, ‘boss,’ first!”
He put his words into action. He secretly rallied allies, slaughtered the treacherous watchdogs overseeing the army, and surrounded the command tent with a heavy force!
With a look of “loyalty” on his face, he asked to see his indecisive boss, a dagger tucked in his arms and a band of warriors following behind him.
He thought to himself, “If you won't sit on the dragon throne, boss, then I won't stand on ceremony!”
See how the deputy general Gu Yan pulls off an incredible comeback on the eve of the retreat, turning a deadly predicament that would wipe out his clan into a perfect opportunity to become emperor!
