The fiery sunset hung on the top of the mountain, reflecting the entire western sky with a fiery red, and a figure carrying a food box slowly walked up the hillside under the reflection of the sunset, and his figure was infinitely elongated...

Since the last time he came to worship Murong Hanyan, Xu Tian had erected a white stone tablet for her here, without words, standing alone on this desolate hillside, slightly abrupt.

Slowly came to the stele and put down the food box in his hand. Xu Tian stretched out his hands and gently stroked the dust off the stone tablet. It's like stroking Murong Hanyan's face.

After placing the offerings in the food box, Xu Tian leaned against the stone tablet and took out a stream of wine from the food box. He raised his head and took a big sip.

"Hanyan, I'm coming to see you again, let me tell you good news, the person who insulted you has paid a heavy price, have you seen it?!"

Xu Tian smiled bitterly. Took another big sip of wine.

"I know that it was actually me who really killed you, it was my stupidity and ignorance that hurt you, I thought that if I helped Cao Cao do a big thing and get the reward he deserved, I could be idle with you and live an ordinary life. Now that I think about it, I was really self-righteous and stupid.

Thinking that if you know something that others don't know, you can do whatever you want, so you can just come and go away.

Now, I killed Wang Ling's entire family, even if I offended the entire Shi clan, my fate is estimated to be no better than his. But I don't regret it, Hanyan, you know, I'm actually a cowardly, incompetent, timid and fearful person. Now I'm still scared, but I'm not going to sit still anymore, I've changed, but you're gone, Hanyan, I miss you!! ”

Two lines of hot tears flowed down his cheeks, and Xu Tian silently closed his eyes.

After a long time, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Take a bowl out of the box and pour half a bowl of the little wine left in the flask. Set aside.

"Have you seen enough?! If you've seen enough, let's get out!! ”

A black shadow slowly walked out of the woods next to him and came to Xu Tian's side.

"How did you know I was here?!"

Xu Tian didn't speak, just pointed to a vague footprint in front of the stone stele.

The person who came smiled bitterly and sat opposite Xu Tian.

"You're not the same as before!!"

"I wish I hadn't changed."

Xu Tian looked at him and smiled slightly.

"I'm glad you listened to what I said, and you're one of the few friends I have here. We are lucky to still be sitting here! ”

It's right and wrong to come!

Since the last time he talked to Xu Tian in Xianghualou, he has thought a lot, in this era of deceit, survival is the most important thing. Morality and loyalty also depend on people and things, and blind foolishness and loyalty will only allow others to take advantage of them and ruin one's reputation.

So he finally went to Cao Cao and told him everything. Therefore, Cao Cao was able to let all the people who entered the city die, Yang Fang and Zhang He appeared in the camp of the Yuan army, and Qingzhou easily fell into the hands of Cao Cao.

"What are you going to do next?! Do you know that Cao Cao deliberately handed over Wang Ling to you, and he wanted to borrow your hand to get rid of him. Now, you have completely offended the scholars, and now all the spearheads are pointing at you, you have to make plans early!! ”

Yu Fei said worriedly.

Xu Tian was noncommittal.

"I know he's using me, but I still have to do it, I don't regret it, I've been cowardly for more than 20 years, if I retreat from such a thing, then I don't deserve to be a man!! As for the future, I have a plan. ”

After speaking, Xu Tian looked at Yu Fei again.

"What about you, now in the eyes of others, you have become a traitor seeking glory, you have to be more careful than me, what are you going to do in the future?!"

"I'm going to follow you, you saved my life, and you're also my friend of Yu Fei, I'm not looking for you at this time, who am I looking for?!"

"So you're waiting for me right here!"

Xu Tian looked at him with a smile.

Yu Fei took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Xu Tian.

"This jade pendant was left to me by my mother, so I'll give it to you. From now on, you are my brother and my family!! ”

Looking at the sincere man in front of him, Xu Tian felt a burst of warmth in his heart, he and Yu Fei had not been in contact for a long time, and he had other intentions to persuade him to give up Wang Ling at the beginning, but he had a feeling of sympathy with this simple man.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Tian still took the jade pendant. Bow deeply to Yu Fei.

"From now on, you and I will become brothers, no matter what happens in the future, life and death will be !! together"

"Life and death together!!"

Yu Fei helped Xu Tian up and nodded fiercely.

It was already night when the two of them returned to the Shadow Guard Mansion together, and they had just stepped into the gate of the Guardian Mansion. Then some of the guards hurried forward. Bow to Xu Tian.

"Great Commander, General Xu has been waiting in the mansion for a long time!!"

Xu Tian's eyes flashed, and he said to Yu Fei:

"Big brother will go to rest first, and I'll go back when I go."

Turning to the guard, he said.

"Arrange General Yu in the courtyard with me. Good life!! ”

After a brief explanation, Xu Tian immediately came to the lobby of the Wei Mansion.

Xu Chu looked at the tea bowl in his hand and smacked his lips. Spit out a bitter tea leaf.

"This thing is far worse than wine, I really don't understand that so many people like it."

"If General Xu wants to drink, I have a lot of them here!!"

Xu Tian walked into the hall laughing and said to Xu Chu.

"You have to pay me for the wine, I've been waiting for you for half an hour, it's a big night, where did you go?!"

Xu Chu looked at Xu Tian dissatisfied.

"Brother Xu came here at night, what's the matter, but it's okay!!"

Xu Tian sat next to Xu Chu and poured a bowl of tea for himself.

"It's not a big deal, I heard today that Zhang He captured a person in Yuan Tan's camp and has something to do with you, so I'm here to tell you."

"Something to do with me, who?!"

With a slight frown, Xu Tian looked at Xu Chu suspiciously.

"Zhang Quan!!"

Xu Tian stood up violently.

"Zhang Quan?!"

"I know you have some grievances before, so let me tell you, you can decide what to do, I'm leaving!!"

Xu Chu knew what this matter meant to Xu Tian, so he didn't talk nonsense, got up and walked to the door.

"Huh! By the way, remember my wine!! ”

Xu Chu pointed at Xu Tian and left laughing.

At this moment, Xu Tian didn't have the heart to listen to Xu Chu's words at all. His mind was full of Zhang Quan.

Zhang Quan is a complicated problem for him, first of all, it was Zhang Quan who turned him from a prisoner into a petty officer in the army, which gave him the opportunity to do what happened later, no matter what his purpose was. After all, he has done so many things for himself, and he also went to the church to worship his mother, and when he met his mother, Murong Hanyan was also handed over to him by him. It can be said that without Zhang Quan, there would be no Xu Tian today.

But later, he wanted to get rid of himself, which directly led to Murong Hanyan's death. This point is the most unacceptable to Xu Tian.

Rubbing his eyebrows tiredly, Xu Tian fell into a tangle.

Now Zhang's whole body is in prison, and life and death are instantaneous. What to do with yourself.

In Xu Du's prison, Zhang Quan was unkempt, and kept grabbing the meat on the plate in front of him with his hands full of dirt, stuffing his mouthful. From time to time, there is a choking sound.

Xu Tian looked at the embarrassed man in front of him, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

Drinking the wine in the bowl with his head up, Zhang Quan stood up and touched the stain on his mouth. Exhale deeply.

Xu Tian hesitated, but still spoke slowly.

"Big... Eldest brother!! ”

Zhang Quan trembled, and the joints of his hand holding the wine bowl turned white.

Suddenly, Zhang Quan stepped forward and slapped the wine bowl in his hand on the top of Xu Tian's head.

"Smack"

There was a crisp sound, and the bowl was splattered with fragments.

A trace of blood slowly flowed down Xu Tian's forehead and seeped into his right eye, making half of his world a blood-red.

"You're embarrassed to call me?! I treat you as a brother, I even marry my sister to you, and without me, you are nothing more than a captive who could be killed like garbage at any moment.

What did you do to me, you took refuge in Cao Cao, and made my whole family a ghost under the knife, I really regret it, I regret that I didn't kill you with a knife in the first place!!! ”

Zhang Quan gritted his teeth and said word by word.

Xu Tian was silent, letting the blood on his head continue to flow.

"Why don't you speak?! What are you doing today, are you here to see my jokes, or are you here to kill me?! I'm telling you, I'm not afraid, my whole family is gone, what else do I have to be afraid of!! I only hate, hate that I haven't slaughtered the thief with my own hands!! ”

"If Hanyan hadn't committed suicide in the first place, I would have been the one who died. How I wish it had been me who died. For the sake of profit, he didn't hesitate to kill me.

Big brother, I still call you big brother now, just because the person who died is not me, in this era of deceit, no one is a saint, I am not, and you are not. If you want to kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed by others!! ”

Xu Tian stared at Zhang Quan, with a deep glow in his eyes.

Zhang Quan was stunned, and he suddenly found that the person in front of him seemed to be completely different from the person he knew at the beginning who even trembled for a long time to kill a pig.

"I came to see you today to tell you that our grievances have been written off. I'll do my best to get you out alive. I'm not a saint, save you, just because of Hanyan! ”

After saying that, Xu Tian didn't stop at all, turned around and left, leaving only Zhang Quan, who was staring blankly at his back!

Until the end, Zhang Quan did not tell Xu Tian the truth of the incident. In his opinion, maybe this is the best ending, sometimes it is happy not to know the truth!!

Xudu, there is a vast courtyard on the outskirts of the city. The surrounding villagers only know that this is a rich man who established this place a long time ago. It's just that it's rare to see people living there.

At this moment, in the back garden of the courtyard, next to a small lake of dozens of feet, there is an old man with pale hair, holding a fishing rod and fishing silently.

I don't know how long he sat here, but there was no movement in the lake.

At this time, a young man in his twenties held a pot of tea and slowly walked towards the old man.

"Father, drink some water!! Every time you fish, you have to sit for hours, and this fish is scared away by you!! ”

The old man smiled slightly and looked at the young man.

"Zhongda, whether it is a person or a worker, you must be patient. With patience, everything can be done!!

By the way, what do you think of Xu Tian, the demon who is now crazy in Xudu City?! ”

"Get rid of the Wang family, it is obvious that Cao Cao is borrowing his hand, this person has now offended the entire Shi clan, I'm afraid, it's not far from death!!"

The old man laughed and did not speak. The two of them sat by the lake and looked at the calm surface of the lake...
