Yanzhou, Shanyang County, Juye County.

The ruins, the blackened blood stains on the walls and on the ground, clearly confirm that there was a tragic battle here.

Cao Cao won, not only defeating Xue Lan and Li Feng, but also repelling Lu Bu, who came to the rescue. But at this moment, the atmosphere outside the city was extremely strange.

No one cheered, no one celebrated, and no one even spoke. Yes, just the sound of a raging fire burning corpses.

Not only the soldiers who died in this battle, but also the people of the whole city of Juye.

At the suggestion of the military advisor Duan Xuan, Cao Cao ordered the slaughter of the people of the whole city, and blocked the news, claiming that Xue Lan saw that the general trend was gone, so he was frightened and went crazy, and ordered his subordinates to do this terrible thing.

But every general of the Cao army knew very well that these innocent people had just lost their chance to survive because of Duan Xuan's grief and anger.

Although under Xue Lan's instigation, these civilians are indeed very hostile to Cao Cao, but no matter what, they will not be reduced to the point where they will not even let go of children.

In Dingtao before, Cao Cao also ordered that no one should be harmed, but now, ......

Everyone thought that Cao Cao had gradually been influenced by Duan Xuan.

After disposing of all the corpses, the army marched towards the Chengshi.

Along the way, everyone could feel that under Duan Xuan's pale face, there were turbulent waves hidden.

……

Cao Cao saw Xun Yu leading his army to meet him from a distance.

Because Cao Cao was ready to recover the entire territory of Yanzhou in one go, he ordered Xun Yu to prepare supplies and grain and grass and send them to Chengshi, and he led the army back to replenish them, and then marched directly to the east.

Cao Cao came to the front, dismounted with everyone, and just wanted to talk to Xun Yu, but found that today's Xun Sima had completely lost his usual calmness.

Xun Yu completely ignored Cao Cao, strode past him, and came directly to Duan Xuan.

Duan Xuan was still very weak, and after learning of Mo Yue's death, he had barely eaten, and no one could persuade him.

At this time, when he saw Xun Yu coming, he barely squeezed out a smile.

"Smack!" What everyone didn't expect was that Xun Yu slapped him with enough strength.

Duan Xuan's current body couldn't withstand this blow at all, and he staggered to the ground.

Nie Honggang next to him wanted to go up to help, but was shocked by Xun Yu's eyes full of anger.

"Duan Zimo! How exactly do you want it! The people of Juye have no worries and grievances with you, you have to kill them all! When Xun Yu received the battle report, he was already mad. At this time, he no longer concealed his identity for Duan Xuan at all, and roared at him.

Duan Xuan trembled and propped up his front body, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and just sat on the ground and looked at Xun Yu with a wry smile on his face.

"I'm just solving the trouble for my lord."

"You!" Xun Yu's hands trembled with anger, and he pointed at Duan Xuan speechless.

"Wen Ruo, I gave the order, don't blame him." Cao Cao's voice came from behind him.

"My lord! You have to be the second Li Dao! Xun Yu rudely bumped into Cao Cao for the first time.

Many officials around him sweated for him, and in front of tens of thousands of people, he openly contradicted the lord, and if Cao Cao became angry, he might be dealt with by military law.

But Cao Cao just shook his head at him tiredly and motioned for him to stop talking.

Xun Yu turned his head and glared at Duan Xuan on the ground. Eventually, with a long sigh, he flicked his sleeves and entered the city gate without looking back.

……

When the army entered the city, even including the dinner party afterward, Xun Yu did not go back to the road.

He just locked himself in the house and ordered no one to disturb him.

The butler stood in front of the door several times, but finally could only sigh and leave.

When the lamp was in hand, Xun Yu finally opened the door.

The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward, but before he could speak, he saw two letters in Xun Yu's hand.

"Uncle Liu, send someone to send these two letters, this one to the Xie family restaurant in Xinzheng, just say that the Xun family visited the four old men; This letter was sent to the grass house in the mountains in Zhai Nan, Yingchuan, and told the people who lived there that Xun Yu was waiting for good news. ”

Xun Yu said as he handed over the two letters to the housekeeper one after another.

The housekeeper took the letter and went down, leaving only Xun Yu standing in the courtyard. He looked up and looked thoughtfully at the moon, which was half obscured by the clouds.

——————————————

Jingzhou, Jiangxia County, Pingchun.

In order to facilitate the monitoring of Yuan Shu and Sun Ce's movements, Weiyun set up a branch hall in Pingchun City.

This is the northernmost part of Jiangxia County, because of her special status, she doesn't want to cause trouble for Huang Zu, so she didn't enter other counties.

A month ago, Tang Zhou led a large army to sneak back from the border of Jing and Henan in batches, and came back with her apprentice who only had one arm left, Zhang Feng.

Seeing Zhang Feng, Weiyun's heart was very uncomfortable. During this time, she had also heard what this muddy boy had done, and when she didn't see Zhang Feng, she was so angry that she wanted to strangle this kid immediately.

But when Zhang Feng really appeared in front of her, she softened her heart again, especially when she saw the sleeve of Zhang Feng's right arm hanging empty, she instantly couldn't control it and shed tears.

Ignoring Tang Zhou's obstruction, she stepped forward to caress her apprentice, only to find that he had become completely different from her impression.

A face that is indifferent to everything, eyes full of anger and hatred, and a heart that is completely indifferent to the love of oneself.

Is this still the shy but kind Zhang Feng?

It took Tang Zhou a long time to break Weiyun's shaking hand that was desperately grabbing Zhang Feng.

Although he couldn't bear it in his heart, Tang Zhou finally shook his head at Weiyun, whose face was full of tears. Then, he ordered Zhang Feng to be tied up and put in prison.

In the past month, although Weiyun would go to see Zhang Feng every day and spend an hour communicating with him, Zhang Feng just lowered his head and didn't care about what Weiyun said.

Until today, Zhang Feng happened to hear the chatter of two people who were guarding him, saying that Tang Zhou had gone to Xuzhou to do business.

So, he spoke for the first time: "Brother outside, please tell the master, and say that the apprentice wants to eat the noodles she makes." ”

The guard outside the door thought that he had misheard, opened the door and looked at Zhang Feng inside the iron railing, and after making sure that he was not hallucinating, a guard went to inform Weiyun.

When Weiyun heard the news, he immediately burst into tears and laughed, after all, he was a master and apprentice, and he finally missed himself.

Although Weiyun has never been married, through Zhang Feng and Ren Ying, she vaguely found the feeling of being a mother. In order to make the two children live a better life in the Northern General Hall, Weiyun gritted his teeth and learned to cook.

With full joy, Weiyun made a bowl of steaming noodles and brought it to the prison in person.

Looking at his beloved disciple who was also looking at him with tearful eyes, Weiyun didn't care about the image, and urged the guards to open the lock.

Carefully putting the noodles on the table, Weiyun asked Zhang Feng with concern: "Feng'er, you have been eating prison food every day for the past month, are you hungry?" Come, taste the master's craftsmanship, have you ever regressed? ”

Zhang Feng picked up the chopsticks and ate two bites, suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, and cried and said: "The apprentice is ashamed of his master's teachings, and he has been disgraced by falling into such a field." ”

"Silly boy," Wei Yun hugged Zhang Feng, "It's all over, how can the master blame you, no matter what you do, you are always my good ......"

She couldn't say the following words, because her throat was pierced by something.

Weiyun looked down at Zhang Feng in surprise, his eyes were full of guilt and sadness, but his left hand was holding the chopsticks hard, constantly sending them down his throat.

She wanted to say something, but as her lips closed together, blood flowed out.

"In this life, the unscrupulous disciples are deeply sinful, and they dare not ask the master for forgiveness. Afterlife...... If there is an afterlife, the apprentice will be a cow and a horse, and he will definitely swear to repay the master's kindness for many years of nurturing and teaching. ”

Weiyun believed that Zhang Feng's words were true, she was just surprised that what happened to her apprentice made her apprentice like this.

The next moment, the sadness in Zhang Feng's eyes disappeared, replaced by a thick murderous aura.

His left hand instantly strengthened, and the chopsticks never came out from behind the back of his neck.

Weiyun's hands slowly raised, and Zhang Feng thought that she was going to make a last resistance, so he instinctively stepped back.

But those hands ...... Just hugged him gently, as always.

"Master !!!" Zhang Feng cried loudly.

At the end, Weiyun still showed him a caring smile.

The guards rushed in, only to see Weiyun's body paralyzed weakly. And Zhang Feng, covered in blood, raised his head and smiled bitterly.

"Yun Shuai!"

"Zhang Feng, you bastard!"

The two guards were furious, and they rushed forward with their swords.

But they ignored the fact that if they wanted to cut Zhang Feng, they had to enter through the small door of the cell.

People who are carried away by anger will not care about some fatal details.

Anyway, Zhang Feng had no weapon and only one arm left, so it was not difficult to kill him.

Thinking like this, one of the guards leaned over and slid into the jail first.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Feng had already calculated everything.

He threw a bowl of noodles in the man's face, and the man instinctively blocked it with his left arm.

"Be careful!" Another guard outside shouted.

But it was too late, and with the sound of broken porcelain, the guards who came first had already had their throats slit.

Zhang Feng actually smashed the bowl against the wall and used the fragments as a dagger.

Immediately afterward, he took the knife from the man's hand and rushed out of the cell.

Even if he is not accustomed to his left hand, Zhang Feng has more than enough to deal with this kind of ordinary night striker.

After a few moves, Zhang Feng made a sharp dodge, slid to the left side of the opponent, held the knife in his backhand, and slashed the back of his neck in one fell swoop.

To Zhang Feng's surprise, although the guard was injured to death, he struggled to crawl outside.

Zhang Feng knew that he was not afraid of death, but wanted to call other people to come.

As two cold lights flashed, Zhang Feng slashed twice on the man's right hand and left leg, and after that, he stopped looking at him and walked straight outside.

Because he knew that with this rate of blood loss, this person would not live for a while.

Outside the cell, the sun was shining and the sky was clear.

Zhang Feng didn't dare to look back, he was afraid of seeing the master's dead eyes in the dark prison.

He raised his left arm, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and slowly walked away from everything behind him with blood all over his body.

At this time, he no longer had any hesitation.

Great rebellion, loss of conscience, let the world judge it.

Even if he can't recover, he will take Lu Bu and Diao Chan to accompany him to the funeral!
