The elder brother was still sitting, but his body was cold, and his closed lips had turned dead gray.

Xi Yan swept away all his grief and hatred, and reached out to close his eyes.

He stayed alone in the room, it was getting late, since Xi Yan came here, no one came to disturb him, and thanks to this, the news of Huan Guohou's death was not spread, otherwise, there would have been a great chaos in the army.

When Xi Yan was thinking about how to deal with it, there was a sudden knock on the door, and no one answered after three or two sounds, and the people outside passed through the door.

"Lord Hou, the overseers sent by the court have arrived outside the gate, do you want your subordinates to send someone to greet you?"

The Overseers have arrived!?

The biggest purpose of the central overseer's trip was to find out the reason for Feng Yi's defeat, and as soon as they arrived, they would inevitably see Xi Luan first and ask him the reason, but now, ......

Through the door, Xi Yan adjusted his mood and said in as calm a tone as possible: "I am the right general of Jin Wuwei, Huan Guohou is unwell, he has fallen asleep after taking the medicine, you send someone to pick up the overseers and arrange for them to stay, if you want to see them, you have to wait until tomorrow." ”

"Master Hou's old illness has recurred!?" The soldier's voice suddenly became anxious, but he didn't dare to break in, "Then you have to go down to pass on the doctor?" ”

"No need, my brother has some pills with him, and there will be no better way when the doctor comes, and now that the condition has subsided, let him rest."

Xi Yan emphasized the word brother, and he was still a little worried...... The pro-soldier did not know the relationship between himself and Huan Guohou.

When the soldiers outside the door heard that the situation was like this, although they were still a little worried, there was no way, after all, their brothers were all taking care of them in the room, so what were they worried about?

"That'...... His subordinates immediately led men to meet the Overseers. ”

"Let's go," Xi Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that the soldier was walking away. But then he became agitated again.

Recalling what his brother said before leaving, Xi Yan gradually sorted out some clues, and his brother said that it was too late...... What is too late? Did he know he was going to die, or did he ......?

Xi Yan knew that his brother was a deep and meticulous person, if he was not sure of something, he would never do it easily, he must have prepared other arrangements for such a big stroke.

Thinking about this, he was slightly settled in his heart, just waiting for the others under his brother to come to him, if his brother was only arranged in the Northwest Army, Xi Yan was confident that he could stop this plot and bring his brother back to Chongdu after the war.

As for the cause of his brother's death, after careful arrangement, Xi Yan also believes that he can smooth it out, after all, the person who died after taking the hook kiss will not leave traces on his body.

As soon as the elder brother left, Xi Yan was depressed, but he also had mixed feelings.

Twelve years ago, my brother was also as enthusiastic as himself. But now, I wonder if my brother can let go of the obsession in his heart under Jiuquan?

At this time, nearly three hours have passed since Xi Luan's death, and this news has been blocked by Xi Yan, and no one is allowed to approach the coach to disturb Huan Guohou's rest.

He knew he had to come up with a plan before the Overseers arrived; I also want to make my brother's death a matter that does not arouse the anger of the public......

But Xi Luan had already thought that he would do this, Xi Yan didn't know that the overseers sent by the DPRK had been deliberately arranged to live in the side courtyard of the commander's line, and two hours later, the rumors that Huan Guohou was poisoned still spread far and wide.

The sergeants are all warriors, they think simply, but they are also smart.

Feng Yi buried 100,000 troops outside the city, and then the overseers sent by the court also lived on the side of the waiting place of Huan State, and they came less than two hours before the Hou Ye died......

All this seems to be very clear, the imperial court treats Zhongliang like this, and the country is still thinking about the great Zhao Jiangshan with his crippled body!

But the fate of such a loyal and pure minister was actually abandoned by the imperial court and poisoned in this wild place!

As soon as Xi Luan's manpower stirred up like this, the resentment in the army suddenly boiled.

It was late at night, Xi Yan was still in his brother's room, and suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, the sound of commotion came from far and near, and Shaoqing was close to the door. Xi Yan didn't dare to slack off, hurried outside the house, and shouted: "Who is Yingxiao!? ”

I saw that the front of the courtyard was full of soldiers, and when they saw Xi Yan come out, they knelt down on one knee and pleaded in unison: "General, please avenge the Hou Ye!" ”

Xi Yan's face turned pale, and he said sharply: "What revenge!?" What are you doing! ”

The sergeants all looked at him with some disappointment, thinking that he had surrendered to the feet of Da Zhao again, and he could even endure the poisoning of his own relatives by the imperial court.

A high-ranking lieutenant general stepped forward and said loudly: "Lord Hou has fought for the country all his life, and he has made outstanding achievements with his hard work, and all the soldiers can see it!" But my Emperor Zhao listened to slander, thinking that the Hou Ye was a great master, and he did not hesitate to murder Zhongliang! Please also ask the general to avenge the Hou Ye! ”

Xi Yan raised his eyebrows at this time, and asked angrily: "Who do you want to seek revenge?" ”

As soon as the words fell, several soldiers had rushed out of the residence of the overseers in the side courtyard, each of them carrying a head in their hands, it was the official sent by the court! A general came out next, still holding a cloth bag in his hand, "This is a hook kiss!" Why do Overseers have poison on them? Master Hou must have been poisoned by this medicine! ”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xi Yan knew...... There was no way out for him, did he have to tell these sergeants that the Overseer had never been to the Huan Kingdom waiting room, that he had been staying here, and that he had watched his brother kill himself?

"General! The brothers shed blood on the front lines and defended their territory. But the courtiers were holding power behind them, and the emperor killed Zhongliang for the sake of suspicion! ”

Without allowing Xi Yan to have a chance to drink, another soldier said loudly: "Master Hou was just poisoned by the emperor because Feng Yi lost the first battle, general!" Please avenge Lord Hou. ”

"Not bad! Hou Ye took us back thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the northwest, could it be that for Feng Yi's defeat, the court said that if you give it up, you have to give it up? ”

All the troops said in unison, "Please send troops to Chongdu to avenge Lord Hou!" ”

Xi Yan couldn't help but be furious, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and he glared at the army, but he was speechless in the end.

It turned out that the elder brother had so many people in the army, almost all over every class, and established supreme prestige in the army.

Xi Yan confronted the army, but more and more soldiers came from all directions in the camp and joined the petition. Xi Yan asked helplessly: "Are you going to rebel?" ”

The army did not say a word, but still knelt with their fists clenched. Xi Yan finally knew that the feeling of everyone kneeling in front of him was not comfortable.

The torches around the line were reflected on the armor of the soldiers, and it looked so solemn and terrible at night. Xi Yan and the soldiers confronted each other in silence, and neither side was willing to take a step back.

At this time, a staff general with a bright face walked from the back hall of Xingyuan, stood beside Xi Yan, and said loudly to the army: "Soldiers, please rest assured, the general, as the brother of Huan Guohou, will naturally not disappoint everyone." It's just that this matter is complicated, and it can't be decided in a moment. I also ask you to leave on your own, and the general will surely give you an answer early tomorrow morning. ”

Strange to say, seeing this general come forward, all the troops were willing to listen to the dissuasion and left one after another.

In the coach's line, Xi Yan's eyes were like fire, staring at the general, and asked him: "Who are you?" ”

The general lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The last general, Liu Peiqi, twelve years ago, in the Zhenyuan Pass, the last general was one of the fifteen people who escaped with Hou Ye. ”

"Why haven't I seen you before?"

"After the general came to the army, Hou Ye transferred the last general out of the Chinese army."

Xi Yan sneered, "Chess...... What a chess piece. Brother An inserted you in the army, and you must have known that there would be this day. ”

Liu Peiqi was very calm, "The general doesn't know anything, no matter whether the Hou Ye is alive or dead, when the day dawns, everything will be out of the general's control." Since the general can investigate the plan of the Hou Ye, then everything that follows will naturally be borne by the general. ”

"Commitment?" Xi Yan couldn't help laughing sarcastically, and then said coldly: "I order you to stop immediately!" ”

"It's too late, General."

It's too late again, Xi Yan finally understood what his brother meant by being too late, of course, it meant that the arrangement in Chongdu City had been started, so of course it was impossible for Xi Yan to stop it, and if there was chaos in the rear, he could drag down the pace of the Great Zhao Imperial Court to encircle and suppress his own army, which was already a rebel.

Sure enough, Liu Peiqi looked at him and said word by word: "At this time, the people in Chongdu City have already started. ”

"Hands-on? You really want to ......" Xi Yan heard Liu Peiqi say this, and at the same time, he was angry, but he felt powerless to stop it. "There are still 100,000 Yulin guards in Chongdu City, do you want to send them to death?"

"One hundred thousand Yu Lin Wei is already on his way to the northwest. Chongdu City...... The army is empty. Hou Ye has removed Da Zhao's die-hard generals for you, and the rest will be handed over to the last general. ”

Liu Peiqi's eyes were gloomy, and he turned around and left without even saluting.
