Chapter 3: Assassination (II)

A quarter of an hour later, Ji Zhan pulled Chai He back, and when he saw the eldest brother and the second brother, he beckoned to come over with him to help, Fan Liang and Su Cheng hurriedly ran over, Fan Liang took the Chai He in Ji Zhan's hand, and patted Ji Zhan's shoulder: "Hard work, third brother"

"Big brother, it's okay, we're all brothers, shouldn't brothers help each other." Ji Zhan said with a smile. Looking at Ji Zhan's innocent smile, Su Cheng's psychological face became more and more uncomfortable, Ji Zhan is like a child, he has never been far away, he is good to all the people in the world, others give him one point, he also gives others five points, he never receives favors casually, he has come to see him as his younger brother, if it weren't for his son, he would never have done anything to him, but now, he has no choice, thinking of this, Ji Zhan couldn't help but sigh, and his eyes became more and more afraid to stare at Ji Zhan, because he felt ashamed of Ji Zhan, I usually hate those who are ungrateful, but I didn't expect that I was going to be that kind of person. Ji Zhan next to him seemed to see something, and when he heard Su Cheng sigh, he couldn't help asking, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Hearing Ji Zhan's voice, Su Cheng immediately came to his senses, "Oh, no, it's okay, it's just that I'm too anxious and a little tired from traveling in the past two days, just go back later, finish drinking, and get a good night's sleep." Su Cheng pretended to smile and said, in fact, it was more uncomfortable than anything else in Su Cheng's heart.

"I've been in a hurry for the past two days, don't say it's you, even our horses can't stand it, after drinking tonight, take a good rest, and we'll be on our way tomorrow morning." Fan Liang immediately picked up Su Cheng's words and said. Ji Zhan looked at the gloom around him, nodded in acquiescence, and the three of them walked to the side of the prisoner cart with Chai He in their arms. A fire was lit next to the prisoner car, and suddenly the surroundings were bright, and even the shadows of the trees and stones could be seen, Ji Zhan raised his head and found that the three owls were hanging upside down on the tree, and the chat between the three of them did not startle these sleeping owls, which really surprised Ji Zhan, who was about to catch the owl, was smashed by the meat thrown by the eldest brother, "Third brother, don't be stunned, quickly grill the meat, I and your second brother will cook the wine, this is a good wine brought by your second brother from Mengxian County, the wine is rich, It's sweet in the mouth, and it's regarded as a good wine, so you can take it orally. Fan Liang said with a laugh. Ji Zhan looked at what the eldest brother and second brother had prepared, and casually pulled out the knife that the second brother usually carried, although it was not so sharp, but it was more than enough to pierce meat.

Ji Zhan took the meat to the fire, put the meat on the shelf, and watched the meat change color little by little, and the oil in the meat dripped into the fire one by one, making a sizzling sound, but the smell of the meat was fragrant, and even the owls on the trees stared at the meat with wide eyes, and kept calling.

"Third brother, your barbecue meat is really fragrant, it is also a blessing to be able to eat such delicious meat in this wilderness, how about the third brother, is the barbecue ready?" Fan Liang asked. Su Cheng next to him didn't say a word, silently staring at the wine on the fire, constantly tumbling, as if he hadn't heard Fan Liang speak.

"It's almost okay, big brother still has a lot of oil in the meat now, I'm roasting it, so that the oil in the meat can be dispersed in each part, so that we can taste the deliciousness of the meat no matter which part we eat," Ji Zhan said with a drowsy look, and yawned after speaking. Indeed, for so long, on the road, there is no time to rest.

"Third brother, I see if you look sleepy, if you are sleepy, rest first, and leave the barbecue work to the eldest brother." Fan Liang said enthusiastically to Ji Zhan.

"It's okay, the eldest brother's meat is almost roasted, let's drink the bar first, and it's not too late to rest after eating and drinking enough, anyway, it's not bad for a while, right?" Ji Zhan said with a smile.

"That's right, come, third brother. You come here, be next to the eldest brother, the three of us brothers will not get drunk today. After that, he picked up a pot of wine and drank it in a big gulp, and Ji Zhan next to him was enthusiastic, although he didn't drink well, but he was not willing to be left behind. picked up the wine handed to him by the second brother Su Cheng and was about to drink it, when Su Cheng grabbed Ji Zhan's sleeve. didn't speak for a long time, just looked at Ji Zhan blankly, that look was like life and death, his eyes were red, Ji Zhan looked at Su Cheng with a reluctant look, and comforted: "Second brother, although we said that we will be separated tomorrow, but we will meet again in the future, and it is not a life and death, second brother, you just relax." After that, he raised his head and drank it in a big gulp, Su Cheng watched Ji Zhan drink, stretched out his hand to catch him, was stared at by Fan Liang on the side with vicious eyes, and hurriedly stretched out his hand back, the three of them drank for a while, Ji Zhan felt sleepy, so he said goodbye to the two brothers, went to the haystack next to him and lay down, and after a while, the snoring sounded.

"Big brother, can we let go of the third brother, you have also seen it, the third brother is indeed like his own brother to us, I can't bear to attack him, he is still so young, and he has a lot of youth, how can he be destroyed in the hands of you and me, this is a matter of human life." Su Cheng said in a trembling voice, in his bones, Fan Liang is the center, what Fan Liang says is what he says, even if it is wrong, he will follow Fan Liang, but this time he must do it according to his own ideas, even if it is wrong. So now he didn't hesitate to stand up and accuse Fan Liang of being ruthless, he had been on an errand with Fan Liang for so long, so he naturally knew what kind of person Fan Liang was, so he was also prepared, even if he died, he would make Ji Zhan safe, and the wine he gave to Ji Zhan had already been replaced by him with ordinary wine, without the slightest toxicity, because he didn't intend to let Ji Zhan die.

"Second brother, you also know what kind of person I am, as long as I want to do nothing I can't do, you are against me like this, aren't you afraid of death?" Fan Liang said viciously.

"I'm afraid of death, but I can't see you killing people, I used to do too many wrong things with you, now I don't want to live like this anymore, you let Ji Zhan go, let's go, this thing will make him rot in his stomach forever, you are still his good big brother, how about it." Su Cheng plucked up the courage to talk to Fan Liang about the conditions.

"Second brother, are you still qualified to negotiate terms with me now? Have you forgotten that the broken intestine grass you gave to that kid with your own hands died in less than two hours? You're still thinking about how to collect his body. Fan Liang said angrily.
