"Brother Zhao, I have suffered a lot all the way south." Mrs. Yang asked with concern.

"Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, I traveled lightly and simply, and I didn't encounter any trouble."

"Today, our brothers are reunited, we must get drunk and rest!" Yang Baihua laughed and said.

"I'm a woman, so I won't bother your brother here." Mrs. Yang smiled and curtsied her knees, "Today, you can have a good drink, and I will go and order the food and drink." ”

After a while, good wine and good food were put on the table. Yang Baihuaping withdrew from the people, closed the door, and happily invited Yang Zhao to the table, "I can't imagine that you and my brother will have a day to meet, today we must drink and talk freely!" ”

"My little brother also misses my brother and sister-in-law very much, come, first salute my brother!"

"Brother Zhao, it's really hard for you to find Jiankang."

"At the beginning, the younger brother was training outside, and he only learned about his brother when he came back. The younger brother guessed that if the elder brother left the Great Wei, he could only come to the south, and he would not run to the north. So I went all the way south to find my brother's whereabouts. But I didn't expect that you would neither stay in the store nor stay overnight along the way, and it would be really difficult to find a trace. In the end, I had no choice but to come here to try my luck, but I really didn't expect to find it! ”

"When you appeared in front of me, I thought I was dazzled." Yang Baihua said with emotion, "However, being a brother is also a last resort, and I have to leave my hometown, I hope Brother Zhao can understand." ”

"The elder brother doesn't need to say much, the younger brother understands." Yang Zhao paused for a moment, and then said, "It's just that the younger brother doesn't understand, even if the Queen Mother forces her brother to do something indecent, why does the elder brother have to flee to the enemy country?" ”

"Do I want to stay in Dawei and continue to be persecuted by the Queen Mother? What face shall I have to face Your Majesty? ”

"Brother, if you leave, what will happen to the Qiu Chi Yang clan?" Yang Zhao asked, "What about the Celestial Lei Army that my father-in-law has single-handedly trained?" ”

"It's for the sake of the Yang clan that I have to do this!" Yang Baihua explained, "Didn't you see all the nonsense of the Queen Mother? If this continues, the world will inevitably be in turmoil. If I entangle with it again, won't it be the finger of the thousand people at that time, and it may even harm the entire Yang family! So when I walked, I drew a clear line with the Queen Mother; And even if the Queen Mother comes again, she will take care of the reputation accumulated by the Yang family for several generations, and it is impossible to blame the entire Yang family for this incident, at most, she will resent me alone. ”

"What about the Celestial Army?" Yang Zhao couldn't wait to ask, "That's the painstaking effort of my father-in-law's life, the reloaded elite of Great Wei!" Now that the Thunder Army is leaderless, it looks like it is about to fall into the hands of outsiders! ”

"Even if I'm not here, there are still so many hot-blooded men in my Yang family, and Brother Zhao is here, why would it fall into the hands of outsiders?"

"Brother didn't know, after you left, the queen mother was angry and furious, but it was indeed as you expected, and it was not good to anger the Yang clansmen, so he transferred the whole army to Luoyang on the grounds of treason as the commander of the Lei Army, and prepared to choose another commander."

"The Queen Mother is going to pull out the fangs of my Yang family......"

"Actually......" Yang Zhao glanced at Yang Baihua's face and said tentatively, "The Queen Mother is really in love with her brother, and she still misses her brother to this day." ”

“……”

Seeing that Yang Baihua was silent, Yang Zhao continued, "The Queen Mother also wrote a poem in the name of her brother, and ordered the palace ladies to hold hands and sing songs day and night in the palace, which was sincere and very poignant. ”

“……”

Seeing that Yang Baihua was still silent, Yang Zhao began to chant.

"In February and March, the willows are full of flowers;

The spring breeze entered the boudoir overnight, and the poplar flowers fell to the south house.

Affectionately went out of the house with weak feet, and picked up Yang Hua's tears.

Autumn goes to spring and double swallows fly, and the original title of poplar flowers enters the cave. ”

"Brother Zhao." Yang Baihua broke the silence in a heavy tone, "Today, you are here to be a lobbyist for the Queen Mother, right?" ”

"Brother, don't be impatient, please listen to the younger brother."

Yang Zhao glanced at the brazier, "It's time to add some charcoal to this brazier, brother, please order someone to add some fire first." ”

Yang Baihua silently got up and opened the door, came outside the house, and beckoned his subordinates to fetch some charcoal to add.

Turning back to the house, Yang Zhao raised the wine cup, "Brother, don't blame the younger brother, the younger brother has come all the way to persuade the elder brother to go back." Come on, let's do another one! ”

Yang Baihua was displeased, and took the wine cup and drank it all.

After adding charcoal and leaving, Yang Baihua closed the door again, and said earnestly, "Brother Zhao, you and my brother have always been of the same heart, why don't even you understand the painstaking work of being a brother now?" ”

"In fact, the younger brother understands, and the elder brother's prediction is also becoming a reality, and the chaos of Dawei has indeed appeared. When the world is chaotic, there is no strong force to rely on, and it will inevitably be crushed into powder by others! Therefore, I need the Thunder Army, as long as I have this iron horse, no matter who has the power in the future, I can live in peace, and no one can help me! Besides, this is the work of my father-in-law all my life, and my younger brother doesn't want it to fall into the hands of others."

"If you want to set up the Lei Army, you should go to the Queen Mother." Yang Baihua felt that his throat was a little dry and itchy, and he couldn't help coughing lightly.

"Of course I went to find the Queen Mother!" Yang Zhao dialed the brazier to make the charcoal fire burn more vigorously, "The Queen Mother said, as long as I can persuade my brother to go back, not to mention the Celei Army, along with the title and military position of my father-in-law, I will hand it over to my younger brother." ”

"But you should know very well that there's no way I'm going back!" Yang Baihua said firmly.

"Of course the younger brother knows, even the Queen Mother, in fact, she should know it in her heart, but she still has a trace of fantasy, woman." Under the reflection of the charcoal fire, Yang Zhao's slender eyes flashed with a ghostly cold light, and he said word by word, "But after all, that is the Queen Mother, the woman who controls the world of Great Wei!" So the Queen Mother also said that taking my brother's head back is equally effective! ”

"Yang Zhao! Do you know what you're talking about? Yang Baihua jumped up angrily and rebuked Yang Zhao loudly.

"Of course the little brother knows what he's talking about." Yang Zhao said-for-tat, "If the eldest brother doesn't leave, the younger brother probably won't have the opportunity to worship the marquis in this life, and he is destined to only live under your shadow in this life." After all, I've always been an outsider. ”

"Since the day you entered the Yang family, the whole family, how could you ever be an outsider?" Yang Baihua became emotional and couldn't help coughing violently.

"Maybe my stepfather just wanted to find you a playmate, or maybe it was like adopting a puppy, although I was caring and got along well, I was always just a pitied character." Yang Zhao's tone was gloomy, "Since I was a child, I just followed your ass, all the good things are yours, and what about me?" No matter how brave I am in battle, how many wounds I have suffered, and how much blood I have shed, these have only become your capital to receive praise and rewards, and I can only huddle in a corner alone, licking my wounds! ”

Yang Zhao stared at the stunned Yang Baihua, and shouted in a low voice, "Because you are the eldest son of the Yang family, all this is born to be yours, no matter how hard I try, I can only stand behind you all the time and watch you enjoy all this!" ”

"You...... Is it resentful of being a brother? Yang Baihua asked in a trembling voice.

"Whether it is the command of the army or the personal martial arts, the younger brother thinks that he is not inferior to the elder brother. Of course, the younger brother deserves the things that the elder brother originally had. Since you don't want it yourself, the little brother happily accepted it. ”

"I can't believe that you would have such an idea." Yang Baihua coughed again one after another.

"Brother didn't expect more." Yang Zhao smiled cruelly, "Why did you suddenly cough so badly?" Ever thought about it? ”

Yang Baihua stared at Yang Zhao fiercely and did not speak.

"That's because, when the elder brother went to ask someone to add charcoal, the younger brother also added something to your wine cup."

Yang Baihua angrily picked up the wine cup and smashed it towards Yang Zhao. Yang Zhao flashed sideways, and slowly approached Yang Baihua, "Brother is really in good shape, he can actually hold on until now, and he still has the strength to throw things." ”

"You beast...... Yang Baihua coughed violently, and began to spurt out a little droplets. As the cough became more and more intense, the blood droplets increased, and finally he vomited blood in a big gulp.

Yang Zhao pulled out a sharp short knife from his sleeve and walked behind Yang Baihua, who was paralyzed on the ground, but still tried his best to support his upper body with his arms.

One hand held up Yang Baihua's chin and put the short knife against his neck, "The junior brother doesn't want to use such dirty means, but if he does it directly, the junior brother is not absolutely sure." The younger brother doesn't want to make any mistakes at this time, even if it is a little despicable, it is the safest way. ”

Yang Baihua clasped Yang Zhao's wrist with both hands, trying his best to say something, but only a hissing sound came out of his throat.

"Today is the time of the elder brother's death, but for the younger brother, it is like a new life. Every year today, I will invite you to drink and let you see what your little brother can live! Yang Zhao leaned into Yang Baihua's ear, "Brother, go on the road with peace of mind, I will only take your head, sister-in-law and Yanran, you can still live here at ease." ”

After speaking, Yang Zhao used a short knife to cut Yang Baihua's neck.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a knock on the door.

"Master, Brother Zhao, you have drunk it for half a day, I made some hangover soup, and I will send it in now." It's Mrs. Yang's voice!

Madame Yang pushed the door in, but was frightened by the sight in front of her. The maid behind him was also so frightened that she threw away the tray in her hand and sat down on the ground screaming.

Yang Zhao's eyes were quick, and with a wave of his hand, the short knife flew out, hitting Mrs. Yang's chest.

Mrs. Yang fell to the ground in response, and when the maid saw this, she was so frightened that she ran away screaming.

Yang Zhao stepped in front of Mrs. Yang in a few steps, "Sister-in-law, I didn't want to kill you, but I had no choice but to be bumped into by you, so I could only kill!" Then he drew his dagger and went after the maid.

Mrs. Yang had blood blisters in her mouth and was speechless, but her hands grabbed Yang Zhao's hand holding the knife and prevented him from pulling it out.

Yang Zhao was annoyed, thrust the short knife into Mrs. Yang's body again, and quickly rotated the handle a few times. Mrs. Yang twitched a few times in pain, and her hands slipped to the ground.

The maid's screams drew the guards. Yang Zhao glanced back at Yang Baihua, who was paralyzed on the ground, "Brother, it's not that the younger brother is thirsty for killing, but it seems that today, I have to kill a chicken dog in your mansion without leaving ......"

Yang Baihua tried his best to crawl towards his wife, but the blood that kept gushing out of his mouth had already caused a burning pain in his chest and abdomen, which made him delirious, and his strength became weaker and weaker.

Hui Ze, Yan Ran and Wei Xun returned with joy. At the gate, Wei Xun said goodbye to everyone and prepared to return to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.

Hui Ze suddenly felt something abnormal, "Why is the house so quiet?" Hui Ze listened, "There was no sound at all. ”

"It's not too late, can't everyone rest?" Yan Ran asked a little nervously.

Wei Xun disagreed, "The door is open, how can you sleep." Don't be suspicious, I'll go in and help you see. ”

With that, Wei Xun entered the door with a big grin.

Hui Ze said to Yan Ran, "Maybe I made a mistake, let's go in first." ”

As soon as the two stepped into the door, Wei Xun shouted, "Stop!" Stay back! ”

Hui Ze raised his head and saw Wei Xun rushing towards them.

"What's wrong?" Hui Ze felt an ominous feeling in his heart, and asked with a frown.

"Hui Ze, Yan Ran." Wei Xun tried to stabilize his tone, "No matter what you see, you must hold on." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yanran on the side suddenly pointed ahead and let out a scream.

Following the direction of Yanran's finger, Hui Ze saw a corpse lying in a pool of blood.

Hui Ze's heart tightened, and he pulled his legs and ran towards the house.

Yan Ran and Wei Xun followed Hui Ze, and along the way, they kept seeing corpses lying all around, and the pool of blood under them had solidified.

When he came to the room where Yang Baihua and his wife were upside down, the scene in front of him made Hui Ze feel like the world was spinning, and he pressed the door frame hard to support his body from falling.

The lady lay on her back on the ground near the door, her dress completely dyed red; His eyes were still staring, as if he wanted to keep the dying scene in his eyes.

Yang Baihua's body was lying on the inside of the room, and his head was nowhere to be found.

Yan Ran didn't even have time to cry, her whole body went weak and she collapsed.

Wei Xun hurriedly reached out to support Yan Ran, and slowly squatted down, letting her lean against the crook of his arm.

"Where is Yanran's uncle?" Hui Ze slowly turned around and said, "You take care of Yanran, I'll look to see if there is any life." ”

In the whole house, the only one who lived was the maid who followed his wife to serve hangover soup. She escaped by hiding in the pyre of the firewood house.

Under the maid's panicked and incoherent narration, Hui Ze figured out the culprit of the killing, which was Yanran's uncle. But why did he do such a cruel thing, Hui Ze couldn't understand, although this person didn't appear in front of everyone for a long time, it was obvious that the relationship between this person and Yang Baihua's family was quite harmonious.

Hui Ze led the maid who gradually stabilized to return to Wei Xun's side.

Yan Ran was still unconscious, and Wei Xun was also a little flustered, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Hui Ze, this... This... What should I do? ”

Hui Ze tried his best to control his emotions, and forced himself to calm down, "Don't panic, Yanran will be taken care of by us first, please go to Brother Chen." ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Ziyun is thoughtful, he must know what to do." Wei Xun stood up, stumbled out, and turned back as he ran, "You must take care of Yanran!" ”

Hui Ze carried Yanran back to her room, leaving the maid to stay by her side.

After leaving the room and closing the door, Hui Ze felt his legs weak for a while. Trying his best to support the steps that moved to the front of the room, Hui Ze groped his way to sit down slowly with his hands that were so shaky that he could barely obey the call; The vision became more and more hazy, and the heaven and earth seemed to be covered with a thick rain of smoke and rain, which was completely unreal.

Hui Ze buried his head in front of his chest and scratched his scalp with violently trembling fingers.

"What to do... Advance... Advance... What can I do about this......"
