32. Righteousness
Yan Xing saw that figure fell down with an arrow, and exhaled deeply, he also admired this opponent who could force more than ten guards to get close to him with his own strength, although it was said that he used the terrain of the woods, but with his hand archery skills and veteran combat experience, whether he was in the army or a thief, he should not be a nameless.

The guards saw the enemy's arrow fall and Yan Xing exposed his body from the forest, they immediately cheered a few times, there were many tree branches intertwined in the dense forest, and it was not a simple matter to find a good opportunity to shoot a running person, and Yan Xing happened to have calm and stable patience and arrow-like archery skills, so he was able to lurk for a long time and hit with one blow. And the fallen archer also proved the eternal theorem of "good traveler drowning", he thought that he could turn the guards around and escape with his superb archery skills, but in the end he fell into the hands of another person with excellent archery.
The guards cautiously stepped forward to check on the fallen archer, and saw that the sharp arrow had pierced through his back to his chest, as if it had pinned him to the ground, and his eyes were wide on his face facing the ground, apparently he could not believe that he would fall at the last moment.
Yan Xing also walked over to look at this master who was good at archery and eventually died under the arrow, and sighed in his heart. He looked at the rough calluses between the knuckles of the big hands, his eyes lit up, and he leaned over and reached out to pluck the bone pluck from the right thumb of the corpse, that is, the bone wrench.
Yan Xing put the wrench on his hand and rubbed it gently, and there was a shallow strangulation mark on the polished and smooth wrench, with a trace of blood on it.
This is a testimony of the tempered art of archery, and it is also the final destination of the soul of an archer. Yan Xing thought about it, and finally took it into his arms.
···
Li Biao and Zhao Hong, who were waiting outside the forest, were already anxious at the moment, Li Biao wanted to go into the forest several times to explore, but they were all dissuaded by Zhao Hong, just when Li Biao was so impatient that he couldn't wait any longer, finally a crisp sound of horses' hooves came from the forest, and Yan Xing waited out with a group of people.
When they saw the corpses on the horses behind them, Li Biao and Zhao Hong also took a deep breath, although they knew that the fight in the forest must be dangerous and abnormal, otherwise how could Yan Xing's skills be delayed, but they didn't expect that they would pay a relatively equal price with more blows and fewer blows, which shows that the enemy's fierceness is difficult to deal with.
Yan Xing smiled at the two of them, but his voice was still a little heavy.
"The enemy has a good hand, and two sons have died."
Li Xiao nodded, patted Yan Xing's shoulder, and then called the guard who brought people in first to ask, the guard was from Orion before, and he explained what happened in a few words.
It turned out that when they were sheltering from the wind behind the hillside, he accidentally found a shallow horse's hoof print on the edge of the forest, if the snow did not stop, this clue would naturally be impossible to find, but it happened that this did not hide the past traces of people was discovered by him from Orion.
At the moment, he suspected that there was someone hiding in the woods, so he called four guards to come with him, left the horses outside, and quietly dived into the woods, searching and advancing. It didn't take long to find a person in the clearing who was resting, with a horse tied to him, looking like a person who had just escaped from the coalition army, and the five immediately surrounded him, and they shot each other's horses first, and then tried to restrain each other.
Unexpectedly, the other party was also alert, and immediately noticed it, picked up weapons and fought with the five people. But with one enemy five, after all, the strength is weak, just when the five people are about to subdue each other, suddenly a feather arrow in the forest flew out and shot directly through the throat of a guard, did not expect that the other party and the guard of the helper was suddenly shocked to the scalp numb, immediately someone blew the horn, as a result of the horn sounded, the person who blew the trumpet was hit by an arrow, and the other three people no longer dared to hold up, and immediately formed a circle to protect themselves with a shield, and the attacked enemy was also seriously injured, unable to escape, Lost so much blood and fainted in the snow.
Yan Xing knew the following process, the archer initially wanted to find an opportunity to shoot the enemy and rescue his companion, but after discovering that the opponent's people arrived quickly, and there was no chance to take advantage of the well-guarded situation, he retreated and mobilized the guards to form a formation to leave the seriously injured prisoner, and he took the opportunity to shoot his companion. In the end, if it wasn't for Yan Xing's arrival, I was afraid that I would have slipped away with a swagger by this treacherous archer.
After listening to the advice of his subordinates, Li Biao thought about it in his mind, and he was also judging the origin of these two unknown people, but now that they were dead, there was no way to get any information from the other party, so he had to use the stupidest method.
He walked over directly, not afraid of blood, after observing the corpse's clothing, he reached out and touched the two corpses back and forth, and soon found a hidden secret letter from the underwear, he opened it in his hand, and was immediately startled, and hurriedly beckoned Yan and Zhao to come over, and showed them the letter.
This is a contact letter, the title in the letter has been erased, and the name of the current Han Zuo general Huangfu Song is the name. At the beginning of the content, it seems that he is an old friend for many years, and then directly explains the danger that the Liangzhou coalition army is in now, hoping that the other party can recognize the situation and act in a timely manner······
This letter alone doesn't mean much, but as long as it is related to the current situation, it will definitely cause an uproar.
Wang, Han Hebing, and all kinds of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou gathered in one place, and the relationship itself was not very strong, and the kingdom not long ago killed several lieutenant generals on the charge of leaking military aircraft. And if this vaguely worded letter falls into the hands of someone with a heart and is over-interpreted, I am afraid that the coalition forces will immediately become suspicious and difficult to construct themselves.
What's more, the United General Kingdom has also used a variety of means to weaken Han Sui and others and strengthen his own power, if this letter reaches his hands, it is difficult to ensure that he will not take the opportunity to make trouble in the unfavorable situation of the war, construct a large number of crimes to fight against dissidents in the army, and use the blood of the coalition army to re-establish his authority.
Yan Xing still knew the story of "Wiping the Book and Ma Han", his face was solemn, and he immediately made a decision, and immediately tore the letter in half, and this behavior immediately frightened Li Biao and Zhao Hong.
Li Xiao immediately reached out and grabbed Yan Xing's hand to stop his movements, although he deliberately lowered his voice, it still revealed the anger and fear in his heart.
"What are you doing here?"
"Whether this letter is true or not, since it has been encountered by us today, we can't let it fall into the hands of someone with a heart to harm others!"
Yan Xing said categorically, if this letter is really leaked, it will definitely cause an uproar in the Liangzhou coalition army, which is already unstable, he knows that with the wisdom of Li Biao and Zhao Hong, he will definitely be able to understand the power, but he is also afraid that the two of them will be consumed by profit, and they want to use such a letter in exchange for a rare promotion.
Sometimes people don't see the harm of infighting clearly, but when it is hopeless to expand outward, joining infighting is often the best shortcut to satisfy desires, after all, when a group of people falls, there will be a new group of people to take their place, which is so tempting for people who lick blood and pursue utilitarianism.
Li Biao looked at Yan Xing's face, and finally let go of his hand, while Zhao Hong's eyes flickered on the side, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so the secret letter turned into a pile of confetti in Yan Xing's hand, and at this time Yan Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had unloaded a sharp sword hanging on his head with his own hands.
Zhao Hong didn't speak, and by this time he also exhaled a long breath and said softly:
"Brother's approach may be right, if this thing is in this world, it may actually kill us!"
Li Xiao sighed and stopped talking. It's not that he doesn't know the power behind this, it's just that he can't accept Yan Xing's approach in his heart, and subconsciously he still thinks that he should give this letter to Han Sui, one of the leaders of the coalition army, Han Sui has always been tolerant and prestigious in the coalition army, and it is more appropriate to leave it to him to decide this matter, but now it is useless to talk about this, and the three of them were speechless for a while.
After half a ring, Zhao Hong suddenly said loudly:
"Hong and the two brothers have the same interests, known as the meaning of worship, today by this snow scene, we are here to worship as brothers, I don't know what the two brothers mean?"
Hearing Zhao Hong smile and put forward the idea of becoming a brother, Li Biao's eyes immediately widened, the three of them called each other brothers and brothers on weekdays, and said that he would not object to the union, but now at this time, he was angry when he said that he was righteous. This Zhao Hong regarded himself as someone, even if he didn't approve of Yan Xinggang's approach, would he be the kind of person who betrayed his friends?
He looked at Yan Xing and found that Yan Xing did not speak, then turned to look at Zhao Hong angrily and said:
"Ziyu, what do you mean by that?"
Ziyu is Zhao Hong's word, Li Biao is extremely angry in his heart at the moment, he is heroic by nature, but he is also an extremely proud person in his heart, and he cannot be questioned by others.
"Poetry and clouds 'Tang Tang Zhihua, E Bu Weiwei, all people today, are not as good as brothers', since you and I have intersected with our lives today, then take this emperor and queen of heaven to learn from this heart!"
Zhao Hong, who had something to say, was still smiling, not angry, and there was no trace of falsification on his handsome face, he faced Li Biao and pointed to the position of his heart. Yan Xing looked at Zhao Hong's smiling face, and smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew that this practice was not beneficial, but he was the one who decided to hide it, although the letter was torn, the body was placed there, and the three of them knew a little bit about it. If the three of them don't make a commitment, how can they make the other two feel at ease, after all, there are many people who are in front of them and stabbed in the back, and they have to guard against whistleblowing.
Yan Xing had no choice but to nod, and then said:
"The stakes are very high, the words of the oath, everyone has peace of mind, so good, according to the words of the virtuous brother!"
······
So, after hastily instructing his men to bury all the corpses on the spot, the three of them hurried up to the hill. At this time, the snow fell again, watching the snowflakes fall, Li Biao took the wine bag and sprinkled three rounds of wine on the snow, Zhao Hong said:
"Er Er Bean, Drinking Food, Brothers, Harmony and Happiness! Although there is no wine and food today, the three of us have intersected with each other's lives, reached the sky, and are willing to become brothers with different surnames. ”
Li Biao continued: "I'm Li Biao Li Boju! ”
"I'm Yan Xing Yan Yanming!"
"I'm Zhao Hong, Zhao Ziyu!"
"I am willing to form a brotherly friendship, share weal and bene, life and death, outsiders who offend my brother, kill him, brother mess with my brother's righteousness, also kill him, the emperor and the queen of the earth, the truth is learned, those who violate this oath will be punished by man and God!"
After saying the vow, the three people kneeling on the ground bowed three more times, and this simple ritual was over.
Yan Xing, who had a solemn face, raised his head again, looked at the white and vast world, and then looked at the sworn brothers with different faces around him, as if he was in a different world.
