Chapter 388 Brothers hurt friends
Xie Zhaozhao asked: "What did the person you met tell you?"

Xie Changzhi was silent for a long time, stared at Xie Zhaozhao and asked, "Did you kill him?"

"I never killed them with my own hands, and they deserved their own death."

Xie Changzhi said angrily: "What do you mean you bring it upon yourself? They are my mother and sister, and they are also your family. Why are you so cruel at such a young age, pushing them to a dead end step by step——"

The more Xie Changzhi talked, the more excited he became, "Yes, you may not have done it yourself, but you handed the knife to others! What's the difference between you and those executioners!"

"Should I just let my fiancé and Xie Xingchen sneak into Chen Cang and call me a green-headed bastard?" Xie Zhaozhao asked slowly: "Should my second aunt eat up the family fortune earned by my father and mother to support my parents' family? "

"Whoever is weak is justified, right? You can ignore the right and wrong, right?"

"I made Xie Xingchen pregnant with Prince Liang's child. Do I have to marry him?"

"Is it me who caused Second Aunt's worries to make her sick and die without medical treatment?"

"If they, mother and daughter, had not been too ambitious and unable to support their ambitions, they would never have ended up like that. They brought it upon themselves and no one else, and I have a clear conscience!"

Xie Changzhi's face turned green and white.

He was a person who was not good at words. At this moment, Xie Zhaozhao slapped him in the face with every word, and he was speechless. In the end, he had to grit his teeth and turn away, and said coldly: "Now that the matter has come to an end, you can kill or behead me." Then, you don’t have to say anything more to me.”

"I do not want to hear."

Xie Zhaozhao looked at him for a moment, then smiled lightly: "Brother Changzhi, are you serious enough to kill or behead him? Have you done something extraordinary that warrants death?"

"Even if you have violated military discipline, I am not the commander-in-chief of the camp, the director of the military department, and the current emperor, so I have no right to do anything to you."

"Besides, you're just going to walk your horse."

Xie Changzhi looked at Xie Zhaozhao in astonishment.

Xie Zhaozhao turned around and left.

At this time, Xie Changqing had also heard some news. He quickly arrived in front of the courtyard gate and met Xie Zhaozhao who was going out. "Xiao Qi——"

"Go back and talk." Xie Zhaozhao took the lead and moved forward.

Xie Changqing glanced at Xie Changzhi's yard and followed his sister's footsteps.

Arriving at Xie Zhaozhao's courtyard, Xie Changqing immediately asked: "What's going on?"

"He went to meet a strange person." Xie Zhaozhao poured a cup of tea for Xie Changqing and delivered it to him personally. "Don't be impatient. I'll tell you slowly."

Xie Changqing had no choice but to take the next sip of tea and look at Xie Zhaozhao, waiting for her to clarify her doubts.

Xie Zhaozhao did not show off, and told Xie Changqing roughly about Xie Changzhi's night meeting with the mysterious man, as well as the information that Xuan Jing had found out.

Xie Changqing had a cold face, his brows were knitted into a Sichuan shape, "He - you never believe him?"

"I also want to believe it, but I don't dare to believe it casually." Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyes, "The matter of Dou and Xie Xingchen came first, how can I believe it casually?"

Xie Changqing had nothing to say.

He and Xie Changyuan were stationed at the border all year round.

The border was unstable, and the brothers did not even bother to return to Beijing to visit relatives.

The mothers of Dou and Xie Xingchen are not like Xie Zhaozhao and Yu, who have always been with the army.

The war was going on when Dou gave birth to Xie Xingchen. She was delicate and frail and could not bear the cold and hardship of the military camp, so she and Xie Xingchen were sent to the Dou family.

Xie Changqing and Dou had only met a few times since childhood. Although they were his aunt and Xie Xingchen was his cousin, they basically had no emotional connection.

Therefore, when he heard about their mother and daughter, there was basically no big emotion.

In addition, Xie Xingchen and Chu Nanxuan were secretly hooking up and sabotaging their sister's marriage, and they were vaguely disgusted with Xie Xingchen's mother and daughter.

As for Xie Changzhi, he had followed his father in the army since he was a child. After Xie Qing died in battle, he followed Xie Wei and his son, and his relationship with Dou's mother and daughter was also very weak.

But he was born to Dou after all, so he was very sad when he heard the news.He was originally going back to Beijing for the funeral. At that time, the sea situation outside Yao City was unstable and the foreign tribes were ready to make a move, so he did not go back after a delay.

As time passed, Xie Changzhi gradually recovered his mood.

Xie Changqing also forgot about this matter, but he didn't expect that such a thing would be involved now.

After a long pause, Xie Changqing asked: "Do you know who he was meeting at night?"

"I don't know, he didn't say anything, but it should be the same group of people he met last time in Black Dragon Pond. I guess there is a high probability that it has something to do with the soldiers."

Xie Changqing was silent and then asked: "What should we do now?"

"I see that he is very hesitant." Xie Zhaozhao said after considering, "Maybe he can be a breakthrough."

Xie Changqing understood the meaning of Xie Zhaozhao's words, "I'll go talk to him."

"Not now." Xie Zhaozhao stopped him, "He met the same group of people in Black Dragon Pond and today. If he had not had second thoughts, he would have sternly rejected those people in Black Dragon Pond."

"The fact that he can still go see him today proves that his heart is wavering."

"Just looking at his last conversation with that person today, he probably didn't reach any agreement with those people. His hatred and anger towards me seemed to be on the surface."

"We have to give him some time to calm down. It might be more effective for the second brother to talk to him again."

"Ok."

Xie Changqing nodded and said: "Zhaozhao is still thoughtful and smart...can't we guard him too tightly? If the person in the dark notices it, this breakthrough may not be useful."

"Yes." Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "It was the same as it was in the past."

In the next two days, Xie Zhaozhao did not visit Xie Changzhi again.

Xie Changzhi's yard had not previously set up open posts and hidden sentries, but Xie Changqing, the man patrolling around, made arrangements.

Xie Changqing also followed Xie Zhaozhao's words and did not go looking for Xie Changzhi for several days.

It wasn't until the fifth day that Xie Changqing appeared in front of Xie Changzhi's yard, carrying two bottles of wine in his hands.

Xie Changzhi had hardly been out of the yard in the past few days. His thick eyebrows were tightly knitted, and his rough face was as lifeless as a withered plant.

He looked at Xie Changqing for a while, then his eyes fell on the wine bottle in his hand, and he said, "Drinking is not allowed in the army. You are breaking a taboo."

"If you violate taboos, you will offend taboos."

Xie Changqing walked in and sat next to Xie Changzhi, "We brothers have been guarding Yaocheng for several years. Except for a few sips during the Chinese New Year, we have to abstain from alcohol at other times. It's really terrible!"

"I'm not the eldest brother. I'm not as rigid as him. When I'm addicted to alcohol, I have to take a few sips."

As he spoke, he uncorked both bottles of wine, took one for himself, and handed the other to Xie Changzhi.

Xie Changzhi couldn't help but smile.

Xie Changyu's command was very strict, and no one was allowed to violate military discipline.

But Xie Changqing is not as rigid as Xie Changyu.

He may appear to have a cold face, but in his heart he is an unruly guy. No matter what the military discipline is, if he wants to do it, he will do it.

Because Xie Changqing and Xie Changzhi were the same age and had been on good terms with each other since they were young, they had done countless outrageous things together.

If they are caught, they will be punished together.

Both of them had been hit with military sticks by Xie Changyu several times because of drinking.

After the beating, they could support each other and go back to camp to apply medicine, and then one would complain about the other's ugly scars, too flat buttocks and too thick legs.

A proper death and loss of friends.
