Xudu, south of the city.

In an ordinary mansion, Xu Lei's tall body stood on the corridor, wearing a robe, and he had just passed the year of standing, with two mustaches.

His gaze stared at the sky, where the sparkling snowflakes danced in the breeze, as if dancing in his mood.

The heart is like ice, cold.

"After all, I can't escape this catastrophe."

Xu Lei lowered his head and no longer looked at the sky, with a helpless smile on his face, and a long sigh in his heart.

As one of the top generals under Cao Hong, after the first battle of Luoyang, he was promoted to one level and has achieved the position of Zhonglang general.

He believes that as long as he works hard, makes great contributions, and climbs to the position of general, it is still possible, even if he is a miscellaneous general, he is satisfied.

It's a pity that with the sudden appearance of the ghost pawn beside him, he knew that this qiē was probably over.

In the past, for the sake of a trust and a promise, he was willing to use himself as a pawn, from Zhang Miao to Cao Ying, he has stayed for six years, six years of silence, his task is just to climb up at any cost, but the higher he climbs, the more afraid he will be.

In the past six years, he has never slept so well, and he is always so trembling every day, living with the most cautious attitude, just to prevent himself from showing a trace of horse's feet.

Last year, in Luoyang City, Cao Cao greeted the Son of Heaven, and Jiangdong was awakened in order to assassinate the Son of Heaven in order to be able to obey Lì.

In the end, the task was completed smoothly, and Zhang Feng, the scapegoat, was pushed out, and he was also cleared of suspicion. Escaped.

I thought this thing could be over, but ...... What he can't hide from is fate.

Paper, can't hold the fire.

He started as a scout, and the level of counter-reconnaissance is very high, these days. He goes in and out every day, and he can feel the stalker behind him.

He knew that it was a ghost pawn, and when he was targeted by a ghost pawn, he knew that he couldn't escape.

"Husband, what are you looking at?"

At this time. His wife, Xu Chen, walked over with a child about three years old, looked at her husband's obviously gloomy back, and called softly.

"Daddy!"

The little boy's name is Xu Yi, he is a little more than three years old this year, and his body size follows his father. The tiger-headed man hurriedly walked over, spread his hands, and hugged his father's thigh.

"Tiger Head!"

Xu Lei came back to his senses gently, looked at his wife and children, and involuntarily showed a bright and happy smile, bowed down, and gently hugged Xiao Xu Yi with both hands. He asked, "Are you good today?" ”

In order to better convince people that he is not from Jiangdong, he chose to start a family here, and his wife was an ordinary peasant woman from Dongjun in the past. It's not very beautiful, but it's very virtuous, and three years ago I gave birth to a chubby son for him.

His wife and children are his concern, and sometimes he can't help but think, or he will live like this for the rest of his life and be a Wei person. Actually, it's not bad.

It's a pity that he can't forget the time when he was in Bishui Pass in his mind. Sun Quan singled them out, and when he looked at them with a pair of amber crystal eyes. It was a trusting gaze.

Death for a confidant.

He Xu Lei is not for Wu Guo, what he did is just for Sun Quan's trust.

"Daddy, I'm so good!"

Xiao Xu Yi was in his father's arms, and said with a smile: "I also learned three words today!" ”

"Really, great!"

Xu Lei smiled slightly, hugged his son and spun around in mid-air, and said, "In the future, it will be good for our tiger head to be a scholar." ”

"Don't!" Xiao Xu Yi pursed his lips and said in a milky voice: "I want to be the same as my father, to be a general on the battlefield!" ”

"Tiger Head!"

Xu Lei's heart moved slightly, his eyes suddenly looked at his son very seriously, and said in a deep voice: "If one day you can see an uncle with green eyes, say a word to him for your father, okay?" ”

"Green eyes? Daddy, is there such a person? Xiao Xu Yi said with some doubts.

"Of course there is, but he's still a good friend of his father!" Xu Lei said.

"Alright then!"

Xiao Xu Yi was only three years old, he didn't understand anything, he didn't understand anything, but when he heard his father's good friend, he nodded and agreed.

"Tiger Head, if you see this uncle, tell him......"

Xu Lei held himself in his arms, whispered a sentence in his ear, in order to make him remember, this sentence, he said more than a dozen times in a row, and then asked: "Tiger head, do you remember?" ”

He believed in Sun Quan in his heart, so he was firm that even if Sun Quan couldn't save him, he would definitely save his son.

Therefore, the tiger head will definitely see the right son.

This is the persistence in Xu Lei's heart.

"Daddy, the kid remembers!"

Xiao Xu Yi nodded very seriously, and then asked, "But Daddy, why don't you personally say it to your green-eyed uncle?" ”

"Because...... It's too late for Daddy to say it! ”

Xu Lei's face was slightly bitter.

Boom!

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, the door of the Xu Mansion violently slammed open, and hundreds of fierce ghost soldiers with long knives on their waists rushed in, murderous.

"General Xu Zhonglang, please come with us!"

A burly middle-aged man in the lead, staring at Xu Lei with dead eyes, said coldly, his words were unquestionable.

"Yes, but give me and my wife a few words, okay?"

Xu Lei didn't feel a trace of surprise when they appeared, his expression was very calm, his eyes looked at the burly middle-aged man in the lead, and pleaded in a low voice.

"Please!"

The burly middle-aged man in the lead groaned and nodded.

"Lady, I'm sorry for you for your husband!"

Xu Lei put down his child, then walked to his wife's side, hugged his wife, and then whispered: "If you can still live, bring up the child well, and then do your filial piety before my parents on my behalf!" ”

"Husband!"

When Xu Chen heard this, his eyes were cloudy and tears flowed. hugged her husband tightly.

Xu Lei is obviously confessing his last words.

So her heart panicked.

No one knows each other better than two couples sleeping in the same bed, and she knows that her husband has always had a secret all these years.

But she is just a little woman, and she regards her husband as a little woman of heaven, as long as her husband is good to herself. For the rest, she just needs to believe in her husband.

It's just that she didn't expect that her husband's secret would bring irreparable murder to her family.

"Let's go!"

Xu Lei forcibly let go of his wife's hands, and left the Xu family's mansion with a group of ghost soldiers.

………………………………

Ghost pawn yamen.

In a big prison with a yin tide, Xu Lei has been tortured countless times, and his body is bruised. But he still didn't say a word, and in the face of ironclad evidence, he didn't admit it, didn't deny it, as if he had put life and death out of the way.

this day. After returning from Nanyang just now, Cao Hong, who was in the dust, couldn't wait to walk into the prison.

"Duanfang, why?"

Cao Hong's face was ugly, looking at this powerful subordinate who had been beaten and bruised all over his body, gritting his teeth, and he was always a little puzzled in his heart.

"General, you're finally here!"

In the cell. Xu Lei, who was dying, heard Cao Hong's voice, and his spirit suddenly perked up and raised his head slightly. looked at Cao Hong, who was standing outside the cell, and there was an apology in his eyes.

He knew that he was going to die, so he hoped to meet Cao Hong before he died.

"Why? Is it because of Zhang Miao? Cao Hong asked, after all, Xu Lei was not small for Zhang Miao in the past, and Zhang Miao was razed by Cao Cao because of his betrayal.

"It's not!"

Xu Lei shook his head calmly.

"Why the hell is that?"

Cao Hong's eyes burned, and he asked angrily, "What did Wu Guo give you?" can make you betray our Great Wei and become the lackey of the Wu State. ”

Cao Hong was a giant of the Wei state. One of the Nine Qings, who has been born and died with Cao Cao for many years, and who once gave up his life for Cao Cao.

Historically, he was the most greedy person in Cao Ying, and he was also the longest-lived person.

But he is also a man of great affection.

In the past, Xu Lei was able to wash away the suspicion, and he made a great effort, because he believed that Xu Lei would not betray him for Zhang Miao, but he didn't expect that Xu Lei was actually a serious brocade guard.

"General, a certain ...... Never betrayed! ”

Xu Lei's eyes were full of essence and said firmly.

"Hmph, is it possible that the ghost pawn has wronged you?" When Cao Hong heard this, his eyes widened, and his eyes were cold: "Now that the evidence is conclusive, Duan Fang, it is best to explain it clearly to a certain family!" ”

"Huh!"

Xu Lei smiled slightly, raised his head, glanced at Cao Hong, and did not answer Cao Hong's words, but just said: "General, since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been in a dilemma, you are good to Xu Lei, Xu Lei remembers, but Xu Lei does not regret what he has done, in this life, Xu Lei is sorry for the general, Xu Lei owes the general a word of sorry, sorry." ”

……

Xu Lei died and committed suicide in the prison of the ghost pawn.

……

Palace of the King of Wei.

The king Cao Cao sat in his position, his face gloomy, listening to Jia Xu's report, Xi Zhicai stood on his left, and his face was not good-looking.

And Cao Hong stood quietly in front, his face was a little ashamed and a little helpless.

"Zilian, what are you thinking?"

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly looked at Cao Hong, who was still silent, and asked.

"Report to the king, I was thinking about Xu Lei's words before he died!" Cao Hong arrived.

"What?"

"He said he had never betrayed!"

"Hmph, he's a brocade guard!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his expression was furious, and he said coldly: "When I was in Luoyang, Gu Ye looked away, in the past, it was because of him that Gu was saddled with the name of killing the emperor, and now the evidence is conclusive, and he still dies without repentance!" ”

It is better to bear the people of the world than to let the people of the world bear themselves, this is Cao Cao's heroic character, so traitors are definitely the kind of people he hates the most.

Zhang Miao's betrayal in the past, he not only raided his family and exterminated the clan, but also razed the three clans of the Zhang family, which shows his violence towards the traitor.

"King, Xu Lei may not have betrayed him!"

Jia Xu stood up and said suddenly.

"Commander Jia, what do you mean?"

When Cao Hong heard this, his eyes widened, and he asked.

"Because he has never been loyal to the Wei State, there is no zài betrayal, from the beginning, he is a member of the Wu State!" Jia Xu analyzed lightly.

"Impossible, in the past, Xu Lei followed a certain campaign for many years, and he had already entered a certain family since the second year of Chuping, at that time, a certain family had just entered Chenliu with the king, he was originally just Zhang Miao's soldiers and horses, and later returned to Shun, how could he have anything to do with Wu Guo?"

Cao Hong didn't want to believe it, and immediately said loudly.

If Xu Lei was rebelled by Jinyiwei later, he might be able to accept it, but he didn't believe that Xu Lei was Jinyiwei's person from the beginning. (To be continued)
