A crossbow arrow grazed Xu Yongzhi's white horse's ear, and flew over with a "whoosh".

This is a two-handed crossbow, used on foot, if I guess correctly, the ordnance of the forbidden army's infantry army.

Xu Yongzhi's ear voice was heard at once.

At the same time, he also judged the crossbowman's position.

Xu Yongzhi pulled the horse and made a sharp turn, and he saw the figure.

The man did not continue to load the arrows, but threw the crossbow and turned around and ran.

Wise man.

This is a master of escape.

You can't escape with a crossbow.

Throw away the crossbow and climb over a fence wall to avoid the cavalry, and if you hide a horse nearby, you can throw the enemy away.

The guy almost made it.

He had already rushed to the side of the wooden fence.

But Xu Yongzhi's white horse, Xu Xiaoyu, is a big horse, very fast.

So Xu Yongzhi just reached out and grabbed the collar of the man's back coat, Xu Xiaoyu turned around, the person's feet were off the ground, and the back of his neck was lifted and turned around.

Xu Yongzhi threw the man to the ground, and the man fell hard, fell to the ground and groaned.

Xu Yongzhi stopped his horse and walked over with a whip.

Now he has no sword in his hand.

It's not that it's a big deal, that person's martial arts don't seem to be weak.

But Xu Yongzhi has been busy for a day today, seeing that he is about to rest, and he was secretly released with arrows, he feels that he is simply loveless, even if he pinched a leek, he wanted to strangle the other party with vegetable leaves.

Xu Yongzhi kicked the man in the back fiercely.

"Oops!" The man trembled and complained, "Don't let people live, brother kicks and brother kicks." ”

This voice is clearly his superior, Zhao Kuangyi, the commander of the capital.

Xu Yongyi ripped off the face towel he was wearing.

That's right, it's him.

Zhao Er looked frustrated and struggled to sit up.

"You...... Want to kill me? Xu Yongzhi looked at no one around and asked.

"Didn't you kill it!" Zhao Kuangyi said.

"Commander, what misconceptions do you have about your martial arts?"

Xu Yongzhi spoke a little meanly, but this is the truth, to single out Xu Yongzhi alone, Zhao Kuangyi really doesn't want to live anymore.

"I already regret it." Zhao Er rubbed his shoulder and said.

"Did the eldest brother let you come, or did you come by yourself?" Xu Yongzhi said.

"Big brother doesn't know," Zhao Er said.

"Why?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"I didn't really want to kill you, otherwise I wouldn't have ambushed here by myself, a group of people has a better chance of winning." Zhao Kuangyi said.

That's right, it's not like a posture to kill.

"I wanted to scare you and give you some advice, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful without a sword." Zhao Er said cheekily.

"What advice?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"Talk less, do more." Zhao Er said.

Xu Yongzhi grabbed Zhao Er's collar with both hands and lifted him up.

"What face do you have to educate me?" Xu Yongzhi asked with a snort.

"What have I done, I'm your commander, can't I give you advice?" Zhao Kuangyi looked calm.

"You killed Your Majesty." Xu Yongzhi said.

"yes, and then what? Are you going to judge me with the Law of the Great Zhou? Zhao Kuangyi said.

"Your Majesty is the eldest brother of the eldest brother." Xu Yongzhi is not talking about the royal law, but righteousness.

Zhao Kuangyi looked at Xu Yongzhi.

"Xu Jin, I said when I first met you, you are my eldest brother's brother, but you are not my brother, right?" Zhao Kuangyi said.

"That's right." Xu Yongzhi said.

"In the same way, my eldest brother's eldest brother is not my eldest brother." Zhao Kuangyi said.

"What words!" Xu Yongzhi said.

"If there was a choice between Chai Rong and Big Brother, who would you choose?" Zhao Kuangyi asked.

Xu Yongzhi gasped, Zhao Kuangyin was loyal to Chai Rong, and he was loyal to Zhao Kuangyin.

"Big brother, of course!" Xu Yongzhi said.

"Yes, me too, my eldest brother and I are the same mother, and I am willing to do anything for his safety." Zhao Kuangyi said.

"How can you do such a thing without permission! You are trapped in the injustice of the eldest brother, do you know how sad the eldest brother is when His Majesty is dead? You roasted all of us on the fire! Xu Yongzhi said.

"You let go." Zhao Er said to Xu Yongzhi.

"Let it go!" Zhao Er's voice revealed majesty.

Xu Yongzhi involuntarily let go of Zhao Er.

"Do you think I'm filthy, shady, dirty?" Zhao Kuangyi asked Xu Yongzhi.

"Yes!" Xu Yongzhi said.

"You've been the jewel of the family since you were a child, right, your parents are just your child?" Zhao Kuangyi asked.

"I have a younger sister." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Oh, only son, no wonder you want a big brother." Zhao Kuangyi said with a smile.

Xu Yongzhi is disgusted with Zhao Kuangyi's face, and he sometimes wonders why Zhao Kuangyin's own brother is such a person, which is unfair.

"My eldest brother is more than a decade older than me."

"For as long as I can remember, he has been famous in the rivers and lakes, he is the natural leader of a group of people, worshipping everywhere and recognizing brothers."

"These godbrothers of his are all emotionally supremacious and happy guys."

"I'm different, I've had a lot on my mind since I was a child, I've been thinking about many, many things, and I've studied almost everyone. I was thin, I worked hard to practice boxing and sticks, and I made great progress, but when everyone compared me to my eldest brother, I was immediately eclipsed. ”

"If my brother is just a scholar, forget it, this person's moral character is quite good, people send a beautiful woman to travel thousands of miles, Qiu has no offense, I can't do it." Zhao Kuangyi said.

"I can't do it either." Xu Yongzhi thought about the unlucky year he had lived and sighed.

"You know how much pressure your brother is a saint, you know?" Zhao Kuangyi showed a self-defeating smile.

"I really know ......"

The saint of Xu Yong's family is his father, and he will never be as outstanding as his father, and he will never be as dazzling as his father.

"You'll never be as outstanding and dazzling as this brother." Zhao Er said.

"My family is a second-generation soldier, generally speaking, in a military family, the best brother is a general, with a leader's demeanor, decisiveness, and the ability to kill; And the younger brother is to be his right and left hand, with the strength of a vanguard, reckless enough, and able to attack cities and field battles. ”

"But if you think about how difficult it is for me, my eldest brother is not only a scholar, a saint, but also the number one general of the Great Zhou." Zhao Kuangyi said.

"He can directly hold the horse's neck into the enemy formation to capture the opponent's main general, I can't even charge into battle, I am not as good as him, I only have one thing that can overshadow him, that is my scheming."

"The ancients also had such a brother combination, Sun Ce and Sun Quan were." Zhao Kuangyi said.

Xu Yong's heart chuckled, is Zhao Er an inappropriate example, or does he really have the ambition to be Sun Quan?

"My brother is sunny, too kind, he treats Chai Rong like a younger brother to his own brother."

"Not only does he like to be so straight, he also likes to use people like this, he likes stupid boys like you."

"If he's surrounded by people like you, he'll be calculated by the bad guys. Fortunately, he has two people who can't be shaken off, that is, me and Zhao Pu. I am his own brother, and he cannot shake me off or kill me; Zhao Pu is the godson recognized by our father, and the eldest brother will not treat him casually. The two of us are indeed a bit willful and bold, but every step of the way, we are working hard for his safety. Zhao Kuangyi said.

"Then you shouldn't kill the king!" Xu Yongzhi said.

"Yongzhi, what do you think of Chai Rong?" Zhao Kuangyi said.

"It's a big hero, full of romance, an incredible figure of the times." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Hahaha, this person is very aesthetically valuable, right." Zhao Er said.

"His own life is not long, so he hurriedly tried his best to leave his name in history, but in the middle of winter, he went to fight the Northern Han and Khitan, do you think it will work?" Zhao Kuangyi said.

“……”

"The lives of the soldiers of the forbidden army are not worth their lives? The lives of those people and the people are not telling? There was a lung epidemic last winter, and he gathered so many hundred thousand people this year, if he failed, tens of thousands of people might die, now Da Zhou needs rest, if he wants to attack, it should be difficult to enter, but what Chai Rong is most afraid of is rest, he wants to gnaw the most difficult bones, for his glory, the last glory, what does he want? Bragging rights to his new little girlfriend? Zhao Kuangyi said.

Xu Yongzhi understood that Zhao Kuangyi was right.

The heroism of a dying man, good-looking; But the soldiers who followed him on the expedition were indeed full of risks.

"Lei Song didn't want to fight the Northern Han, he had a child, he became gentle, and he was weak, but he made a decision very quickly, he knew that if he went to assassinate the emperor, he would die, if he didn't assassinate the emperor, he and many husbands and fathers would die." Zhao Kuangyi said.

"Your Majesty is a generous man......" Xu Yongzhi defended feebly.

"Generous? Chai Rong was a first-rate emperor, but he was also a irascible man, generous to his enemies but impatient with his own people. Zhao Kuangyi said.

"Don't let you say that about the first emperor!" Xu Yongzhi said.

"He personally promoted you, I can understand your reluctance to admit this," Zhao Kuangyi said, "His temper is very bad, how many people who escaped he killed in the Battle of Gaoping, everyone advised him that he should be killed by lot, but he killed them all." ”

"Didn't anyone persuade him?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"It's always the eldest sister who is persuading him, he is a knife, and the eldest sister is the scabbard." Zhao Kuangyi said.

"Who is the eldest sister?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"Oh, I forgot to say, my wife is the little sister of the current Queen Mother, and I am a real relative of the first emperor, a brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and I am more familiar with the affairs of his family." Zhao Kuangyi said.

"When Chai Rong went to the Southern Tang Dynasty, the eldest sister was sick and in poor health, but she was afraid that he would kill too many people, so she insisted on going to the Jianghuai front line and accompanied him, so he would not kill people indiscriminately, but the eldest sister also deteriorated for this reason, and died like this."

"After the eldest sister died, the second sister entered the palace to do the following, although Chai Rong is still persuaded, but he has begun to be a little willful, in the past few years, because of the body's willingness, he has become more and more self-free, and recently he is very close to the medical woman sent by Nantang, this matter, you should know a little." Zhao Kuangyi suddenly mentioned Sister Qiao.

"I've seen that medicine girl." Xu Yongzhi said with restraint.

"Da Zhou is not a person's Da Zhou, let alone Chai Rong's alone. It belongs to a group, a team composed of two or three hundred core families, and if a person becomes a burden to this group, no matter how high his ability is, he will not be able to continue to rule. Zhao Kuangyi continued.

Xu Yongzhi understood that Zhao Kuangyi was right, this was the logic of rule.

"The death of the first emperor, that is, between this year and next year, you are a medical family, you know that the current doctors can't cure leprosy at all." Zhao Kuangyi said coldly.

"Chai Rong's most trusted person is the eldest brother, in the end, he will preserve his bloodline, he knows that the eldest brother is a kind person, and he will definitely assist his son and let Chai Zongxun be the emperor." Zhao Kuangyi said.

"Today, the eldest brother has done it, and there is no hesitation at all." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Yes, but what about the future of Big Brother?" Zhao Kuangyi asked.

"A generation of sages like Huo Guang, Yi Yin, and Zhou Gong." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Just by relying on the first two people you mentioned, you can be convicted of rebellion, and both of them have done the thing of deposing the emperor." Zhao Kuangyi said.

"Zhou Gong is an exception, after all, he is King Cheng's uncle, but King Cheng also doubted him, right." Zhao Kuangyi continued.

"The emperor is still young, and when he grows up, he will understand the loyalty of his eldest brother." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Ten years later, Chai Zongxun is in power, at that time, does he want to deal with his eldest brother?" Zhao Kuangyi asked.

When Xu Yongzhi heard this, he knew that Zhao Er had already figured it out.

"Cao Cao of the Eastern Han Dynasty's "Let the County Clarify the Order", have you read it?" Zhao Er said.

"Read."

"Cao Cao said, if I hand over the soldiers and go back to my fiefdom? May I? Of course not. As soon as I leave the army, disaster may befall me, and I have to think about my children and grandchildren. In the past, the court gave my son the title of marquis, and I tried my best to refuse, but now I understand that I can't shirk, they have status, and they can take care of each other with me. Zhao Kuangyi said.

"Cao Cao is a decent person, he is also the father-in-law of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he let the emperor of the Han Dynasty survive and did not kill him, I think this is worthy of this family."

"Yongzhi, brother, think about it."

"If the eldest brother is not the emperor, we will all be liquidated sooner or later, none of us will be spared, you know so many wizards and immortals, you can leave, others, that is, the life of the whole family is difficult to protect."

"If the eldest brother refuses to be the emperor, these hundreds of families will launch another person to be the emperor, and they will definitely not recognize this child."

"Lei Song didn't die for himself, he died for his eldest brother, do you understand?"

"After the truth is finished, if you are still those righteous angers, feelings, and friendships, don't mention it. The eldest brother is a natural saint, but I am the one who bears the sin and silently plans for a peaceful and prosperous world. Zhao Kuangyi said.

"Second general," Xu Yongzhi said, "I understand the reason, I can't kill you, but the eldest brother has protected you as much as possible today, but in the future, don't make this kind of decision without authorization, you will hurt him, and you will harm everyone." ”

"Okay, I promise you about this matter, if you do anything in the future, I will discuss it with you, you are an understanding person, I am willing to recognize you as a brother." Zhao Kuangyi said.

"Don't co-opt me, just like you said, I'm the eldest brother's person, not your person, if you dare to disobey the eldest brother, let me say that Sun Quan's business, my sword will not let you go." Xu Yongzhi let go of a cruel word.

"Okay, okay, I lost my word, loyal to my eldest brother, we are the same." Zhao Kuangyi said.

"You have to give me three people, one is Lei Song's wife and children, and I will send them away; The second is the doctor girl, that person is my junior sister's person, she is still young, don't embarrass her. ”

"What, you're afraid that I'll kill people? You take it away, I'm not interested; I will take care of Lei Song's wife and children, don't worry about it. Zhao Kuangyi said.

"I'm sorry, I can't trust you in this matter." Xu Yongzhi said.

"You put your heart in your stomach," Zhao Kuangyi said, "I have a crush on Lei Song's wife, and she will remarry me as a concubine when she turns around, and I will raise Lao Lei's child." ”

"So you had this plan in place in the first place? Isn't that too despicable for you? Xu Yongzhi was dumbfounded.

"A good woman who has lost her husband, looking for a strong arm, this is human nature, let a good woman be happy, isn't it what a man should do?" Zhao Kuangyi smiled and went to find his horse.

Xu Yongzhi looked at the crossbow underground, and wanted to give him an arrow in the back, but finally held back.

But he clearly saw through Zhao Er's two weaknesses.

Zhao Er is lustful and likes to chase different women.

Zhao Erai is cheap.

If there is meat in your hands, you must rub the oil.

Xu Yongzhi clenched his fists.

Maybe behind every big hero, there is such a person in the shadows.

But this guy is really creepy.
