Yan Xing saw that figure fell down by an arrow and took a deep breath. He was extremely impressed by this opponent who could force more than a dozen guards to be unable to get close to him by his own strength. Although he used the terrain of the woods, with his archery skills and the combat experience of the Taoist, no matter whether he was in the army or for the thief, he should not be an unknown person.

When the guards saw the enemy fall down and Yan Xing showed his body from the forest, they cheered a few times. There were many tree branches intertwined in the dense forest. It was not easy to find a good opportunity to shoot a running person. Yan Xing happened to have calm and stable patience and arrow-like archery skills, so he was able to lurk for a long time and hit it with a blow. The fallen archer also proved the eternal theorem of "good wanderer drowning". He thought that he could make the guards play around and escape from the sky with his superb archery skills, but he finally broke it into the hands of another person with superb archery skills.

The guards carefully looked forward to check the fallen archer, and saw that the sharp arrow had penetrated from his back to his chest, as if he had nailed him to the ground. His eyes were wide open on his face facing the ground. It was obvious that he could not believe that he would fall down at the last moment before he died.

Yan Xing also walked over and looked at the master who was good at shooting archery and died under the arrow. He sighed in his heart. He looked at the rough calluses between the knuckles of the big hands, his eyes lit up, and he leaned over and reached out to take off the bones on the right thumb of the corpse, which is the bone ring.

Yan Xing put the ring in his hand and rubbed it gently. There was a shallow mark on the polished ring, with a hint of blood on it.

This is the witness of archery after repeated trials and the final destination of the soul of an archer. Yan Xing thought about it and finally put it in his arms.

···

Li Pian and Zhao Hong who were waiting outside the forest were already anxious at this moment. Li Pian wanted to go to Lin Tan to find out the truth several times, but they were all dissuaded by Zhao Hong. Just when Li Pian was so impatient that he could no longer wait, a crisp sound of horse hooves finally came from the forest, and Yan Xing and the others were waiting.

When they saw the corpse carried on the horse behind, Li Pian and Zhao Hong also took a deep breath. Although they knew that the fight in the forest must be extremely dangerous, otherwise Yan Xing's skills would have not returned for a long time, they did not expect that they would have paid a relatively equal price with more attacks. This shows that the enemy's fierceness is difficult to deal with.

Yan Xing smiled at the two of them, but his words were still a little heavy.

"The enemy has a good hand, two boys died."

Li Pian nodded, patted Yan Xing on the shoulder, and then called the guard who brought people in first to ask. The guard was a hunter before, and then he explained the story clearly in a few words.

It turned out that when they were sheltering from the hillside, he accidentally discovered a shallow horse hoof print by the forest. If the snow did not stop, these clues would naturally be impossible to find, but this did not hide the traces of the past and was discovered by him, who was a hunter.

At the moment, he suspected that someone was hiding in the forest, so he called four guards to come together, left the horse outside, sneaked into the forest quietly, and searched forward. Not long after, he found a man and a person resting in the open space, tied to the side, which looked like someone who had just escaped from the coalition forces. The five people immediately surrounded him. They shot and killed each other's horse first, and then wanted to stop each other.

Unexpectedly, the other party was also alert, and immediately noticed it, picked up the weapons and fought with the five people. But one against five, he was weak in power. Just when the five people were about to subdue the other party, a feather arrow flew out and shot through the throat of a guard. Unexpectedly, the other party had a helper's guard and his scalp was numb. Someone immediately blew the horn. As a result, the horn sounded, and the trumpet blower was shot again. At this moment, the other three people dared to be arrogant again. They immediately formed a round formation to protect themselves with shields. The attacked enemy was seriously injured and could not escape. They fainted on the snow because they lost too much blood.

Yan Xing knew about the subsequent process. At first, the archer wanted to find an opportunity to shoot the enemy and rescue his companions, but found that the opponent's people arrived quickly. After careful protection, he retreated to the second best and mobilized the guards to form a formation to throw away the seriously injured captive. He took the opportunity to shoot the companions. If it weren't fortunate that Yan Xing had arrived, he would be swayed away by the archer who had succeeded in his plan.

After listening to his subordinates' reports, Li Pian thought about it in his mind and was also judging the origins of these two people of unknown origin. However, now that people are dead, they can't get any information from each other, so they have to use the stupidest method.

He walked over directly, not afraid of blood. After observing the corpse's clothing, he reached out and touched the two corpses back and forth, and soon found a hidden secret letter from his underwear. When he opened it in his hand, he was immediately startled and immediately called Yan and Zhao to come over and showed them the letter. Yan Xing and Zhao Hong looked at the letter at once and were secretly surprised.

This letter is a contact letter. The title in the letter has been erased. The signature is the name of Huangfu Song, the left general of the Han Dynasty. The content starts with greetings like old friends for many years, and then directly explains the current danger of the Liangzhou coalition forces. I hope that the other party can recognize the situation, act in a timely manner, and never pursue the previous situation. The great achievements afterwards will be repaid...

Just reading this letter cannot explain anything, but as long as it is linked to the current situation, it will definitely cause an uproar.

The king, Han and the soldiers gathered in Liangzhou, and the relationship between the troops and horses of Liangzhou was not very strong. The kingdom not long ago killed several generals and officials on the charge of leaking military aircraft. If this letter with vague words was lost to the hands of those who were interested and interpreted it too much, I am afraid that the coalition forces would immediately become suspicious and make trouble for each other.

What's more, the Kingdom of General Hezhong had used various means to weaken Han Sui and others and strengthen his power. If this letter came to his hands, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not take the opportunity to cause trouble when the war was unfavorable, and formed a large number of charges to attack dissidents in the army, and re-establish his authority with the blood of the coalition forces.

Yan Xing still knew the story of "Mahan in the Book" and his face was solemn, he immediately decided, and immediately tore the letter in half. This behavior immediately scared Li Pian and Zhao Hong jumped.

Li Pian immediately reached out and grabbed Yan Xing's hand and stopped his movements. Although he deliberately lowered his voice, he still revealed the anger and fear in his heart.

"What are you doing?"

"No matter whether this letter is true or not, since we have encountered it today, we can no longer let it fall into the hands of those who are interested to harm others!"

Yan Xing said firmly that if this letter was really leaked, it would definitely cause an uproar in the Liangzhou coalition, which was originally unstable. He knew that with the wisdom of Li Pian and Zhao Hong, they would definitely understand the power of it, but he was also afraid that the two would be obsessed with the desire to gain greed and wanted to use such a letter to exchange for a rare promotion level.

Sometimes people do not see the harm of internal struggle, but when there is no hope of expanding outward, joining internal struggle is often the best shortcut to satisfy their desires. After all, when a group of people falls down, a new group of people will take over their position. This is so tempting for people who lick blood on the blade and pursue utilitarianism. The powerful relationship cannot be done without being fierce and cautious.

Li Pian looked at Yan Xing's face and finally let go of his hand. Zhao Hong's eyes flashed and he didn't know what he was thinking. In this way, the secret letter turned into a pile of paper scraps in Yan Xing's hand. At this time, Yan Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had taken down a sharp sword hanging from his head with his own hands.

Zhao Hong didn't say anything, and at this time he exhaled a long sigh and said softly:

"My brother's approach may be right. If this thing appears in the world, it may have killed us!"

Li Pian sighed and stopped talking. It was not that he didn't know the power behind this, but that he could not accept Yan Xing's behavior in his heart. Subconsciously, he still thought that this letter should be handed over to Han Sui, one of the leaders of the coalition forces. Han Sui had always gained people with tolerance and had prestige in the coalition forces, so it would be more appropriate to leave it to him to decide on this matter. But now, these are useless, and the three of them were speechless for a moment.

After a while, Zhao Hong suddenly spoke:

"Hong and the two brothers have the same ambitions and have the intention of becoming sworn brothers. Today, we will use this Xue Jing Jiachen to become sworn brothers here. I wonder what the two brothers mean?"

Hearing Zhao Hong smiled and proposed to become sworn brothers, Li Pian immediately widened his eyes. On weekdays, the three of them called brothers and brothers, and he did not object to the fight. Now, he was angry when he said he was furious. Zhao Hong regarded himself as someone? Even if he did not agree with Yan Xing's approach, would he be the kind of person who betrayed his friends?

He looked at Yan Xing and found that Yan Xing was not speaking. He turned to Zhao Hong and said:

"Ziyu, what do you mean?"

Ziyu is Zhao Hong's name. Li Pian is extremely angry at this moment. He is a heroic person by nature, but he is also a very proud person and cannot tolerate any doubts from others.

"The poem says, 'The beauty of Tang Di, E is not bad, and all people today are better than brothers'. Since you and I have already met with each other with their lives today, let's use this place of Emperor and Queen to learn from this heart together!"

Zhao Hong, who had something in his words, was still smiling and not angry. There was no trace of fakeness on his handsome face. He faced Li Pian and pointed at the place where he said. Yan Xing looked at Zhao Hong's smiling face and smiled bitterly. He knew that this approach was of no use, but he was the one who decided to conceal the matter. Although the letter was torn, the body was placed there, and the three of them knew a little. If the three of them did not make a promise, how could the other two feel at ease? After all, there were many people stabbed in the back, and they had to be careful of the informing matters.

Yan Xing had no choice but to nod and continued:

"It is of great importance. Everyone has peace of mind when the oath is said. It is so good, so I will follow my brother's words!"

······

So, after he was able to command his subordinates to bury all the bodies on the spot, the three of them hurriedly climbed up the hill again. At this time, the snow fell again. Seeing the snowflakes falling down, Li Pian took the wine bag and sprinkled three-way wine into the snow. Zhao Hong said:

"After drinking beans, the wine-drinking slut, the brothers have the same kindness and happiness! Although there is no good wine and food today, the three of us have sex with each other and reach the heavens, and we are willing to become brothers of different surnames."

Li Pian continued, "I, Li Pian, Li Boju!"

"I, Yan Xing, Yan Yanming!"

"I, Zhao Hong, Zhao Ziyu!"

"I wish to make a brotherly friendship, share weal and woe, and entrust life and death. Those who outsiders offend my brothers will kill them. Those who are in trouble with my brothers will also kill them. The Emperor and Empress Dowager are really aware of it. Those who violate this oath will be punished by both humans and gods!"

After saying the oath, the three people kneeling on the ground bowed three more times, and the simple ceremony was over.
Chapter completed!
