Chapter 165

When it was late at night, they stepped into a silent ash forest.The moonlight shone through the dense leaves piecemeal, and it was already much darker than before.

It was too late, but soon, a feathered arrow pierced through the moonlight, shot straight, and pierced the chest of a cavalry with a "snap". The cavalry had no time to react, and fell down with staring eyes.

Cao Hong was already sweating from shock. He wanted to yell "Bold rat, don't show up yet", but before he could open his mouth, more arrows fell, taking the lives of more soldiers.

"Who is it! Come out quickly!" Beads of sweat oozed from Cao Hong's forehead.

But apart from the wind, no one would answer him.

Cao Hong wanted to say something, but suddenly heard a grunting sound. He looked down and found something shaped like a pot, which rolled under his horse from nowhere.

"What is this?" Curious, he opened his eyes wide to look at this weird thing, only to find that it still had a small tail, but it seemed to be on fire, and the tail became shorter and shorter.

At the next moment, with a deafening roar, a ball of flame burst out from where he stayed, and jumped up to a height of one foot.The horse's belly was closest to the flames, and the severe burns caused unprecedented pain. It let out a series of painful neighing, raised its front hooves high, and almost fell off the horse!

Until this time, the soldiers ambushing in the jungle did not show up.They formed a group of two. The man in front held a broadsword and a shield, and specialized in chopping off the legs of the enemy's horses;Cao Hong's troops were so frightened by the sneak attack that they couldn't resist for a while, and they all became ghosts under the knife!
The flames came towards Cao Bing, scratching, scratching, swallowing and biting, and destroyed them all without much effort.Cao Hong watched helplessly as the sacred flames from nowhere came all over the mountains and plains, and couldn't help but burst into tears: He has wiped out his entire army, so what face will he see Jiangdong's elders again?He roared up to the sky, cut down Yuan Shang who was beside him with a knife, then threw away the knife in his hand, picked up a long spear from the ground, patted his horse and went straight to the flames, vowing to go through the flames and die with the enemy on the other side.As the distance gradually shortened, bursts of fiery air rushed towards his face, his skin was scalded with large and small blood blisters, and the horse under his crotch screamed, so he jumped off the horse - he couldn't bear to have this man who had been with him for many years His best friend died with him——his leather robe caught fire, roasting his skin with a strong smell, but he didn’t feel any pain at all. Nor did they stay.

Yuan Ke sat in front of the stove with complicated emotions and did not move for a long time.He sighed, not knowing whether he should be happy or guilty.

After all, the person lying in front of him is one of his elder brothers.

He remained silent for a while, as if he had suddenly made up his mind, he got up and walked to the bedside to see Yuan Shang's situation.

Yuan Shang's blood had stopped, and the blood-stained armor was removed and put aside.The blood on his face was carefully wiped away by the medical craftsman, revealing that rare white and rosy face, but there was almost no red, and even the white was a little gray.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint voice sounded beside him: "Where am I..."

Yuan Ke was startled, and said softly, "Third Brother, you are already in Xudu City."

Yuan Shang narrowed his eyes and smiled wryly: "Are you... Are you Xianyong? I can't see with my eyes."

"It's me." Yuan Ke replied, "Cao Hong is dead, you can rest in peace and recuperate!"

"Retribution...it's all retribution..." Yuan Shang murmured.

A burst of pity surged in Yuan Ke, he got up and poured him a bowl of water, pretending to be relaxed and said: "What retribution is not retribution? I have already hired the best medical craftsman to treat your illness, and you will be gone soon. will recover."

"Hahahaha..." Yuan Shang laughed feebly, "Fourth Brother, do you believe this?"

Yuan Ke's hands froze in the air.

Yuan Shang continued to speak: "It is said that when a bird is about to die, its song is mournful, and when a person is about to die, his words are kind. I, Yuan Shang, have been confused all my life, and now I am finally awake. The biggest mistake I have made in my life , I shouldn’t fight with you.”

"Third brother was joking." Yuan Ke said quietly, "We are brothers after all, how much hatred can we have?"

"In front of my father's foundation, what about my brothers?" Yuan Shang shook his head weakly, "Since I was a child, my mother told me that I will inherit the Yuan family's family business, and I firmly believe in this. Doubtful. Because in terms of appearance, talent and learning, I am far better than the elder brother and the second brother, let alone you who have a problem with your left eye, but I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect—”

A look of resentment appeared on his face, and he suddenly coughed violently.

"My third brother..." Yuan Ke sat beside him and patted his heaving chest, "Actually, I never wanted to argue with you. When I was young, no matter how much you bullied me, Laughing at me, I kept silent, because I know that I am no match for you. After I came back from Jingzhou this time, all I did was to make my mother and I live a good life. Why do you think Why did I block your way? You came to Xudu this time, and I entertained you with good wine and meat, but how did you treat me? You even colluded with Cao Hong and wanted my life!"

"I was forced." Yuan Shang sighed, "No matter how hard I fight with you, I won't be so cruel that I want your life, but if I don't do this, Cao Hong will kill me... I am now Not long to live, I just want to ask you a question."

"What's the problem?" Yuan Ke's voice also became cold, just like this cold winter night.

"Since I led the troops to attack Cao Hong, did you expect today?" Yuan Shang asked, "Are you trying to use me to catch Cao Hong in one go and completely eradicate future troubles?"

"Let me tell you this..." Yuan Ke played with a corner of the quilt and whispered in his ear, "Sima Yi is mine."

This sentence was very light, but it made Yuan Shang's face darker.

In the next second, his head was tightly covered by the quilt, he squirmed a few times in pain, and then stopped moving.

"It's over, it's over..." Yuan Ke sat slumped on the ground, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.He finally killed his brother, his opponent, and his enemy himself.

The night is long, and the road ahead is still long.
