1202: The Death of Cheng Xun

Cheng Yuan never thought that he would meet his brother in such a situation.

Cheng Xun knelt down next to a charred corpse as if he had lost his soul, and the surrounding wooden buildings were burned to black coke.

"big brother"

Cheng Yuan tried to say something sexually, his eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Because the age difference between the brothers is relatively large, Cheng Yuan's deepest impression on his brother is his figure studying hard under the window, words such as playfulness and slack will never be associated with Cheng Xun. After Cheng Xun got married, he took his wife to work as an official in other places, and Cheng Yuan followed his father, so the two brothers did not have much contact. Even so, the two are still closer than ordinary gentry brothers, and Cheng Yuan also respects and admires his elder brother very much.

After so many years of absence, Cheng Yuan wanted his elder brother to see how he has grown up now. The two brothers sat down to catch up on the old days and chat about family affairs.

However, the world is tricky, Cheng Xun served as Xu Pei, and Cheng Yuan served Jiang Ji, the two brothers' positions became hostile.

When two tigers fight, there must be one injury. Xu Pei fails, and Cheng Xun is about to face the situation of becoming a prisoner.

Cheng Yuansheng was afraid that the soldiers would hurt Cheng Xun, so he hurried over.

Probably because of his luck, Cheng Yuan didn't take many detours and called Cheng Xun.

He ordered the soldiers to retreat, went straight forward, and stood beside Cheng Xun.

The air is filled with the strange smell of burnt raw meat, and there is also a faint disgusting smell of blood and iron.

Cheng Yuan moved his eyes to the charred corpse, and a bold idea came to his heart

With the appearance of big brother, could it be that this charred corpse is Xu Pei?

Before he could come up with an answer, Cheng Xun moved his stiff neck, and his eye sockets were covered with bloodshot eyes of varying thickness.

"Gong Liao, I didn't expect you to come."

Cheng Xun is still unwilling to accept the reality, but Cheng Yuan's appearance has caused his last line of defense to collapse.

Cheng Yuan saw that his brother was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to speak too much, so as not to touch Cheng Xun's sensitive and fragile nerves.

Before Cheng Yuan could speak, Cheng Xun sneered and asked, "Are you going to lead someone to capture me?"

"The little brother is afraid that the soldiers under him will offend the brother, so he rushed here. Even if they are captured, the little brother will not allow them to hurt or humiliate the big brother. You can rest assured about this." Cheng Yuan said honestly, "Strictly counting, my eldest brother has been away from home for ten years. My father and mother miss my eldest brother very much. My two years old are already old, my eldest brother may as well go back and see them"

Cheng Yuan subconsciously moved out of his old parents.

When mentioning his parents, Cheng Xun's numb eyes became more turbulent, like the surface of a lake wrinkled by the breeze, and soon disappeared.

"It's my brother's fault that I can't serve my parents. Gong Liao will have to worry about it in the future."

Cheng Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition crept into his heart, which he couldn't get rid of.

"What do you mean, brother?" Cheng Yuan said, "Serving your parents is the responsibility of a son of man, and you are still the eldest son in the family!"

He had a hunch that if Cheng Xun woke up by scolding him now, maybe the other party would do something crazy.

"My lord was defeated and forced to have such a deep hatred, Gong Liao, do you think you should avenge your lord as a brother and a subject?"

Cheng Xun raised his hand to shake off Cheng Yuan's hand, and stood up with difficulty.

He knelt and sat for too long, his legs were numb and bruised, if he hadn't supported himself with perseverance, he would have collapsed in embarrassment.

Cheng Yuan's face turned pale, if Cheng Xun took revenge, wouldn't it be

He shivered, Cheng Yuan was sure that his brother was going to do something, or that the other party's mood was not right.

"My lord has treated me with the grace of regeneration." Cheng Xun said.

Cheng Yuan gritted his teeth, wishing he could shake his elder brother's shoulders to wake him up. Then what kind of soup Xu Pei gave him, "It is believed that Mr. Zhao has already lost! The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. It has been so cruel since ancient times." .If the one who loses today is not Lord Xinzhao but the lord, brother thinks that Lord Xinzhao will let her go generously? It was Lord Xinzhao's own choice to set fire, not persecution, so where is the hatred?"

It is true that scholars die for their confidantes, and Cheng Yuan also admires those high-spirited celebrities and high-spirited people.

However, Cheng Yuan couldn't accept these words on his relatives.

The eldest brother, Cheng Xun, has parents, children, and his wife.

Why did Cheng Xun abandon everything and go with the old master without saying a word?

Chaos began to appear in the five kingdoms of the world, and there were forty or fifty princes, large and small, in Dongqing alone.

Most of them were annexed and eaten by the neighboring princes without even making a small splash. Today's Xu Pei just followed their old path.

His elder brother had only been in Xu Pei's tent for three or four years, Cheng Yuan didn't think Xu Pei was any good, why did his elder brother give up his mind?

Cheng Xun sneered and spoke loudly.

"I swear to the death that I will not surrender to Liu Xi, let alone join forces with such villains."

No matter how well Jiang Ji did, she was not orthodox in Cheng Xun's eyes, but she was born in a noble family and did despicable behaviors. A sanctimonious hypocrite.

To put it bluntly, she was just carrying the banner of righteousness to plan for herself, and disrespected orthodox rebels.

In addition to Xu Pei's matter, Cheng Xun also couldn't accept that after his surrender, he worked with a group of people who couldn't make it to the stage.

Cheng Yuan was anxious and angry, how could his master let others slander him at will?

Even if this person is his own brother.

"My lord is a wise master who truly has the ambition to calm the world. Even my father approves of her. Why is my eldest brother so stubborn?"

As soon as Cheng Yuan said this, he regretted it, not because he regretted the rebuttal, but because he regretted speaking too harshly.

Cheng Xun snorted contemptuously.

"Reckless and cowardly, how can anything be done!"

Cheng Yuan didn't want to argue with him, lest the two brothers get angry.

"Brother, you might as well calm down and think about your parents, sister-in-law, nephews and nieces. Xu Pei is really worthy of your entrustment? He comes from a noble family, but he is definitely not the master that the elder brother is looking for. Even if he is not the master, he will lose in another In one hand." Cheng Yuan said, "Brother dislikes the lord and doesn't want to be an official, so it's better to stay at home. Waiting for the world to be peaceful and then to be an official to show off your ambitions, it's not a bad idea."

Cheng Xun said with a sneer, "Differences in ways do not conspire with each other!"

He and Liu Xi will never be fellow travelers.

Let him work under this person's account or rely on others, he would rather die!

Cheng Yuan had no choice but to call someone in and temporarily detain Cheng Xun, lest he do irrational things in a moment of excitement.

Xu Peigang died, and he died by raising a fire, which dealt a huge mental blow to Cheng Xun.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xun drew out his sword to fight, but the soldiers did not dare to strike harshly because of his status, instead they stabbed several times.

Cheng Xun laughed coldly, with a crazy expression on his face. He caught a glimpse of the stone wall in the courtyard from the corner of his eye, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his heart.

"No"

Cheng Yuan was also injured by Cheng Xun's arm during the obstruction. Before he woke up, he saw Cheng Xun hit the wall, and was shocked out of his wits.

There was a muffled bang in the air

A large pool of blood stained the blackened wall red.
