Han Zhan said with palpitations: "That Ji Qihan is really powerful, I haven't reacted yet, the plate axe in my hand was knocked out by his hidden weapon, how amazing his skill should be, he can knock out my plate axe from such a distance, I have never seen this kind of magic skill." ”

As if he had expected it, Sima Yu said with a wry smile: "That Ji Qihan's martial arts are originally among the best in this world, he can use a hidden weapon to defeat your plate axe, that is not enough to be strange, and Fang Xiao's martial arts are said to only take him, if there is any conflict with them, we will definitely not take any advantage." ”

"Well, I really don't understand why they have to fight us, they are not unreasonable. We occupy the mountain as the king in this cottage, although we are entrenched, but we have not done anything to be sorry for the people, but the people have any difficulties, we will help them as soon as possible, why do they still have to get along with us? Han Zhan said helplessly.

Sima Yu and Yu Wenfang glanced at each other, both of them had deep helplessness in their eyes, they felt that although Han Zhan's thinking was simple, what he said was indeed very reasonable, if the imperial court could be more tolerant, it would not have gotten to today's field.

On the second day, the two sides confronted each other on the edge of the cottage for another day, and in the evening, Sima Yu ordered people to send rice, fruits and vegetables, and meat.

This situation lasted for three days in a row, and on the third day, Yu Mian stood up and said: "This situation can't continue any longer, since the imperial court sent me Yu Mian to exterminate the Baitou Mountain Cottage, we have to fight no matter what." ”

"What, a fight?" Han Zhan's eyes widened like a copper bell and said: "We have sent you food and vegetables in the past few days, and you are now going to come to fight with us, grandma, although Lao Tzu can't beat you, but I will definitely fight to the end." ”

As he spoke, he raised the plate axe in his hand, his plate axe had been replaced with a new one, and the weight was especially better than the previous one, although he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Ji Qihan, but when he thought of Ji Qihan's strong martial arts, but he couldn't be so unreasonable, he felt that he was full of strength.

Yu Mian said with a wry smile: "So far, if we don't fight, we naturally can't give an explanation to the court, so let's send someone from each side to fight, even if either side loses, there will be no objection?" Yu Mian's words are sonorous and powerful.

Han Zhan said repeatedly: "This is naturally not good, there are two masters on your side, we are dozens or hundreds of people together, and we may not be their opponents, and we are still fighting one-on-one, then we will definitely lose." ”

Yu Mian ignored him, and only said to Sima Yu: "What does Brother Sima think?" ”

Sima Yu thought about it and felt that there was no way to do it now, and if he really made a move, although they were outnumbered, they might not necessarily be able to take advantage, after all, Fang Xiao and Ji Qihan were both first-class masters, and if they wanted to take advantage of them in weapons, it would be absolutely impossible.

So he said helplessly: "Since it was proposed by Prince Yu Mian, then it doesn't make sense for me, so I'll send Han Zhan to fight." As he spoke, he pointed to the Korean War.

Han Zhan said imposingly: "Alas, after holding me for three days, I can finally fight, even if I am defeated, I have no complaints, even if I am killed, Han Zhan will definitely have nothing to say." ”

As he spoke, he stood in the circle, pointed to the other party and said, "Who are you sending to fight, is Ji Daxia you?" If Lao Han can fight with you, it will really be a death without regrets. ”

Ji Kaihan smiled and was speechless, there was anger in his long and narrow eyes, and the anger that Han Zhan saw for a while was aroused, and he couldn't help but hold two plate axes and rushed towards Ji Kaihan.

Ji Qihan still smiled slightly, picked up the two small stones and flicked them lightly, the two small stones were as fast as meteors, and they hit Han Zhan's plate axe at once, and before Han Zhan could say anything, the plate axe in his hand fell to the ground.

He looked at the ground with wide eyes like copper bells, it was incredible that this time his plate axe was bounced on the ground by Ji Qihan, last time his plate axe only weighed fifty-two pounds, this time in order to lose people and not lose the battle, he specially ordered someone to cast a seventy-eight pound, but he didn't expect to be so easily beaten to the ground by Ji Qihan.

It can be seen from this that Ji Xinhan's skills are really unfathomable, and when he thought of fighting Ji Qihan, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, but Ji Qihan smiled beside him, and he didn't say a word.

Yu Mian said: "Since Brother Sima, our side has already sent people, then our side will also send people." ”

Sima Yu looked at Han Zhan, hurriedly stepped forward to help Han Zhan up, helped him back and said, "Since the second brother has encountered a setback, this battle will be lost by us." ”

He really doesn't want to fight in his heart, if a battle is fought, and the two sides don't know how many people will die, it is his luck to win, then what's the point, his brother who is full of cottages dies ten to seven or eight, what is the point of him living in this world? So he preferred not to fight.

Yu Mian shook his head and said, "That's not good, although Uncle Ji played with Brother Han just now, but the two of them didn't really fight, this can't be counted, you can send someone out again, so that we won't fight together and suffer heavy casualties." ”

Yu Mian's words hit Sima Yu's heart, he looked around, stepped forward and said, "Since this is the case, leave this task to me." ”

Sima Yu had already calculated that Yu Mian would send one of Fang Xiao or Jiang Shaoheng, no matter who came out to fight, it would be impossible for them to beat the two of them, so instead of this, it was better to admit defeat first, anyway, since it was a fight, it would be better to leave this humiliating thing to yourself, Sima Yu said in his heart.

After he stood up, Yu Mian stretched forward, and Yu Mian said sonorously: "The representative sent by our side is me, and I, Yu Mian, want to have a big battle with Sima Yu and Brother Sima, if anyone outputs, then whoever will immediately withdraw his troops." ”

Seeing Yu Mian suddenly stand in the middle, and hearing what he said, Sima Yu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and finally he asked quietly: "Aren't you not good at martial arts, Gongzi Yu Mian?" Why did you come out to fight me, you will surely lose? ”

Yu Mian smiled and said: "What if you lose, what if you win, all I need is an explanation to the imperial court, and what you need for Brother Sima is to lead your brother to live here, who is more important to weigh the two?" ”

The tone in which he said this was very sincere, so that everyone in the cottage couldn't help but be moved when he heard it, so Yu Mian stepped forward to fight with Sima Yu, Yu Mian didn't know martial arts at all, so he was gently brought to the ground by Sima Yu.

Sima Yu also deliberately left a hand, and only exerted one success, lest he hurt Yu Mian, he saw Yu Mian fall to the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

Yu Mian smiled and said: "Brother Sima don't need to panic, Yu Mian is fine, you have all seen it now, it was Yu Mian and I who were defeated, and even if I said it to the emperor after I went back." ”

After the 500 soldiers got along with the people in the cottage for the past few days, they felt that the nature of the people in the cottage was not bad at all, and they were all very enthusiastic people, not only often sent rice and vegetables to everyone, but also treated them very respectfully and politely, and they themselves did not want to fight with the people in the cottage, after all, it would not be beneficial to both sides to fight.

What's more, his five hundred people are all old, weak, sick and disabled, if one of them is accidentally damaged in the hands of people in the cottage, how can their relatives be embarrassed, so Yu Mian's decision is extremely correct.

When they saw that Yu Mian did not hesitate to come out to fight Sima Yu in person, and after pretending to lose, they all clapped their hands excitedly, and some people sighed and said: "The teacher of benevolence and righteousness, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness." ”

So, for a while, the crowd was furious, Sima Yu arched his hand and said: "Although Yu Mian Gongzi and I have such a competition this time, it is just for the brothers of both sides, it doesn't matter who loses or who wins, why don't you come to the cottage together?" ”

The five hundred old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers immediately looked at each other when they heard this, although they accepted the kindness of the owner in the cottage, and accepted their rice, grain, vegetables and fruits, but when they heard that they were going to be invited to the cottage as guests, they still felt that something was wrong, so everyone looked at Yu Mian.

Although Yu Mian was only a scholar, he was still arrogant and said, "Okay, since it was Brother Sima who sincerely invited us, why don't we do it?" Uncle Fang, Uncle Ji, what do you say? ”

Fang Xiao and Ji Qihan glanced at each other, and both of them smiled lightly and said, "That's very good." ”

After Yu Mian consulted Fang Xiao and Ji Xianhan's opinions, he took five hundred old and weak soldiers to the cottage together.

After arriving in the cottage, Sima Yu and the three brothers ordered the minions to kill cattle and sheep to entertain Yu Mian, and suddenly the cottage was like the New Year, very lively.

At the banquet, Yu Mian looked at Ji Qihan and Fang Xiao and said: "Before leading the troops to fight, I didn't expect such a consequence, I was ready to lose both, but in fact, instead of losing both, everyone can coexist peacefully, I think this is the biggest victory for me." ”

Ji Kaihan laughed and said: "The so-called victory without a fight is the realm of height, defeat without a fight is also the realm of height, people who can achieve these two realms are powerful people, you think, if this war is not easy, no matter what, after going back, maybe the emperor will be punished by the crown, and now he can come up with a way to give an explanation to the emperor, so as not to trouble the brothers in the cottage, this best of both worlds is indeed very clever, but after going back, I hope the emperor won't pursue it too much. ”

Fang Yu sat there, his expression was the most peaceful, and said: "Now that the eldest princess has a golden jade scepter in her hand, the emperor is afraid of the eldest princess, and he won't be embarrassed if he wants to come." ”

"Well, Brother Fang is right."

Especially everyone in the cottage drank freely, and they all felt very happy, especially Sima Yu and Yu Mian and others, they all felt that they could solve the war completely without blood, and they were very happy, so everyone drank very heartily.

Until ten minutes of the night shift, Sima Yu and the others were drunk and fell asleep in the cottage.

The night was getting darker and darker, the sky was dark and dark, and it was pitch black between heaven and earth, and occasionally a few stars twinkled in the sky, like a few twinkling rhinestones in the black cloth tent in the sky.

But I don't know why, after a gust of wind blows, it makes people feel a creepy chill, the night is so heavy, the wind is so cold, people feel involuntarily feel a chill in their hearts.

This sudden chill woke up some people who were not very drunk, but most of them were already drunk, especially Han Zhan and other people with heroic personalities, who were all lying on their seats and falling asleep.

Suddenly, an open flame broke out in the dark sky, and from a distance it looked as if someone was burning something.

When a soldier found out, he called out and said, "Look, there's fireworks." ”

"Set off fireworks, how can someone set off fireworks in this barren mountain range." Another person on night duty said.

They talked and discussed, only to see that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and in the end it was still a raging fire, and it was about to burn the prairie until now, and it was only now that they understood that someone had set the fire, and the soldiers on duty at night looked around, only to see that the fire was raging all around, and the entire Baektu Mountain had been surrounded by fire.

They suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, and hurriedly ran into the cottage to report to Sima Yu and Yu Mian: "Oh no, no, someone set fire outside, and the cottage is surrounded by fire." ”

"What?" Sima Yu had already drunk a little drunk, but Yu Mian only took a few sips because he didn't drink much, and he was shocked when he heard it.

Fang Xiao and Ji Qihan are both worldly masters, although they have already drunk heartily, but they will definitely not make themselves drunk, after they heard this, they rushed out to take a look, only to see that the surrounding area was indeed raging flames, the fire rose in the wind, and it had already burned half of the mountain.

They were shocked in their hearts, so they tried to shout everyone, but at this moment, all of them were very drunk, where could they wake up, and finally woke up Sima Yu and Yu Wenfang, but Han Zhan was sleeping very deeply, and he couldn't wake up no matter what.

Fang Xiao looked around and said, "We can't wait any longer, we have to escape first, otherwise the fire will burn us." ”

Ji Qihan grabbed Han Zhan casually and grabbed Yu Mian casually and said: "Okay, let's rush out quickly, wake up all the brothers who can wake up, if you can't wake up, then there is no way, let's run for your life first!" ”

So, all of a sudden, everyone took it seriously and rushed out along the weak part of the fire.

Suddenly the sound of wailing, wailing, and whimpering spread all over the mountain, and the wails of everyone were very miserable, in such a dark night, such a ghost fire falling from the sky, I don't know how many people's lives were devoured.

Soon Fang Xiao and the others fled one after another, and when they looked back after they escaped, they saw that the entire Baektu Mountain had been surrounded by fire, and the cottage of Baektu Mountain had been turned into ashes under the raging flames.

Fang Xiao, Ji Xianhan, Yu Mian and others were very heavy in their hearts, they looked back again, and saw that the five hundred old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers had only escaped less than a third, and the brothers in the Baitou Mountain Cottage were even more miserable, they escaped only 200 people, and the rest of the people were burned alive in this fire because they were drunk and could not wake up.

There was a foul smell of burnt corpses that spread through the heavens and the earth, and the flames devoured everyone's hearts like a devil.

Han Zhan didn't know when he was pushed awake, he woke up and saw the scene in front of him, and it took him a while to understand, he screamed, and then rushed towards Yu Mian.

He raised his crown and said: "Our three brothers are kind to you, why do you set fire to the cottage, if you want to win us, even if you fight with us, why use such despicable means?" ”

Yu Mian was anxious and frightened at this moment, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, he didn't know what to say.

Ji Kaihan said on the side: "Why do you think we set this fire? ”

"Hmph, who put it instead of you? In addition to you, who else wholeheartedly wants the people in our cottage to die, during the day, you pretended to compete with us, and also sent Yu Mian to compete, in fact, you simply want us to neglect our precautions, and take advantage of our inattention to wipe us out, which is called not tired of deceiving, I know. ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, the more sad and angry he became, so he slammed Yu Mian to the ground, and at this time, Ji Qihan rushed to the front and caught Yu Mian steadily.

Yu Mian only felt very sad and angry in his heart, he looked at Sima Yu and Yu Wenfang, and the expressions on their faces told him that their thoughts were exactly the same as Han Zhan's thoughts, they all thought that this fire was set by Yu Mian and others, and Yu Mian didn't know how to explain it for a while.

The one or two hundred people in the cottage of Baitou Mountain finally slowly sobered up, and after they found out about the situation in front of them, almost everyone howled and cried, and after crying for a while, they said to Yu Wenfang, Sima Yu, and Han Zhan in unison: "We must fight with them, we can't just forget it, they clearly want to use tactics to deal with us, and the people in the court are too despicable." ”

Yu Mian looked at them, he didn't know what to say for a while, but Fang Xiao, he said very calmly: "Why do you say that this matter was done by Yu Mian, didn't you find that the soldiers on our side also had great damage?" ”

"So what? The people of the court have always been despicable, you will do everything to win the battle, and it is reasonable to burn your own soldiers, I am still wondering, why did the court only send five hundred old and weak soldiers to crusade against us, it turned out that you had such a strategy, these five hundred old and weak soldiers have already become pawns in your strategy, and sooner or later they will become your victims. Yu Wenfang said aggressively on the side.

Yu Wenfang has always been very smart, and after careful analysis, he thinks that this matter is like this, otherwise the whole thing will not make sense.

Everyone was confronting each other, and the situation was about to erupt, Ji Qihan suddenly laughed, and he said repeatedly: "Ridiculous, ridiculous, it's really ridiculous." ”
