It's late at night.

Lightning and thunder, wind roar and rain roar.

Heavy rain poured down, watering the wilderness and the water flooded the earth.

Looking around, it looks like a swamp.

Kick, thud, thud!

"squeak---"

A heavy and rapid footsteps came from far and near. With the sound of "creaking" opening of the door, Huan Fei, who was as majestic as a tower, walked into the main hall with a sword in his hand.

"Mr. Fengxiao, I've seen it all." Huan Fei said as he walked: "There are seven entourage maids who survived the entire Bu Mansion, four men and three women, plus the four of us, the lord and Li Zhi who fought at the ferry, a total of thirteen people."

"Thirteen?" Seeing Huan Fei returning, Guo Jia, who had been staying in the main hall, stood up to greet him, and then heard the sound and frowned slightly. Then he raised his hand to signal Huan Fei to sit down and rest for a while. Then he paced back and forth with a contemplative look, as if he was worried about something difficult, he was unstable and could not sit down.

"Why are you upset by sir?" Huan Fei asked in surprise after sitting down.

Then he did not wait for Guo Jia to answer and continued, "I searched the front and back courtyards and the east and west wing rooms. Apart from the corpses, no dead soldiers of the Xiahou family were found. Previously, Xiahou Dun led hundreds of dead soldiers to lift the Bu Mansion up and down, and more than twenty Bu Mansion entourages and maids died. Now the seven or eight people who survived are lucky. Now the Bu Mansion house is safe, and I, Huan Fei, guarding here, who dares to be arrogant? Does sir have any other concerns?"

"No, General Feihu, don't get me wrong. I don't mean to doubt the general." Hearing Huan Fei's words, Guo Jia knew that he would have misunderstood and mistakenly thought that he doubted his ability to do things.

Guo Jia immediately walked to Huan Fei and sat down, and said with a melancholy look: "For some reason, I was always a little uneasy tonight. I always felt that I had ignored something, but I didn't know where the problem was. Especially when the lord left the mansion just now, I felt more and more uneasy. I felt that something must have happened. And it was a disaster. But the lord had made up his mind and insisted on killing Xiahou Dun to avenge Bu's revenge. Therefore, I wanted to advise and dissuade him, but I swallowed it back to my mouth. I could only follow the lord's wishes and stay in the mansion for the aftermath."

"I know all this. The lord wanted to chop Xiahou Dun with his own hands. That's why I asked me to come back to protect the safety of my husband and wife of the trainer to avoid recurrence." Huan Fei continued.

"Yeah." Guo Jia nodded slightly, his expression became more and more serious, and he pondered: "Brother Xiahou led more than 300 dead soldiers from the family to assassinate the lord. He had been following us for nine days before and decided to take action until tonight. It is not difficult to see that they have planned for a long time and have complete plans. There are only two reasons for choosing to take action tonight. One is that they may have noticed that we have discovered their traces, forcing them to take action immediately. The other is that they have the confidence to win and have enough confidence to win in one blow and succeed in assassination.

However, so far, the Xiahou brothers have failed repeatedly. Not only were the deaths and injuries of the family soldiers, but Xiahou Yuan was also severely injured by the general. During this period, in addition to the fact that they held Bu as a scoundrel and threatened the lord, they were almost at a disadvantage everywhere, which made them unable to protect themselves and fled in panic."

"Sir, I'm worried too much!" Huan Fei was a little impatient when he heard it. He interrupted, "Fengxiao respects the deceased soldiers of the Xiahou family and the Xiahou brothers! The two of the Xiahou brothers have good martial arts skills. It's a pity that they met Zicheng and I, and they didn't kill them on the spot before. That was because they were lucky and too cunning. They were lucky enough to hide their heads and tails. As for those deceased soldiers in black, they seemed to be strong and strong. In fact, they were vulnerable. Killing them was like slaughtering pigs and dogs!"

Guo Jia shook his head repeatedly and said, "The general's words are bad! It's not that the black-clad dead soldiers are not strong in combat, but that you and General Zicheng are too strong. This makes them seem incompetent and vulnerable. Even so, the performance of these dead soldiers tonight is remarkable and can be called elite troops.

It should be noted that the Xiahou family is a prominent family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. The military generals have been released from generation to generation, and the dead soldiers of their family are naturally extraordinary. Take the assassination tonight for example. These dead soldiers know that they are not the opponents of you and Zicheng, but they know that they will be killed when they hit you. However, they have been defeated and never retreated, and they have retreated without escaping. Because of this, the battle tonight will be so long and so difficult. As long as they have not completely died in the battle, they will never give up and fight with us for the middle of the night. Until now, the battle has not ended.

Such a family of dead soldiers who are not afraid of death are rare, and it is rare. It shows that the Xiahou family has hundreds of years of military generals is definitely not an idle family!"

After seeing Huan Fei's thoughtful expression, Guo Jia paused and continued to say: "The black-clad dead soldiers are so tenacious, so the brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan are not easy. These two are powerful generals under Cao Cao. They have been through the battlefield for a long time, are extremely brave, and have both civil and military skills. They have been the only generals under Cao Cao's sect over the years.

However, the two brothers performed very strangely tonight. They fought repeatedly and suffered repeated defeats, and were still so entangled. Xiahou Yuan was seriously injured and was no longer able to fight again. Xiahou Dun was injured continuously, and his combat power dropped to 50%. If he continued to fight, he could only wait for the killing and there was no possibility of winning. But why didn't they escape?

If they wanted to escape, even if we had three powerful men of the world with ten thousand enemies, they could not stop so many of them from absconding. But they did not escape, but instead fought from outside the wall to Zhengtang, and then slowly retreated from Zhengtang to continue fighting with us. They had already run to the ferry, but they still did not take the opportunity to escape. Why did they do this and what did they mean?"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia suddenly changed his expression, his face turned pale, and he exclaimed in a burst of voice: "No! Ferry crossing——"

"Uh?" Huan Fei was startled by Guo Jia's scream and asked quickly: "Fengxiao, what do you want to say? What's wrong with the ferry?"

Guo Jia, who was stunned and lost, was awakened by Huan Fei's thick voice. He immediately pulled Huan Fei out and ran out, saying anxiously: "Hurry up, go quickly, let's go to the ferry!"

Huan Fei slowly followed Guo Jia to the gate and asked in surprise: "Fengxiao, what do you want to do? The lord ordered me to guard the house. I was driven back by the lord before, so why do you have to go to the ferry again?"

Guo Jia pulled Huan, who was as strong as a bear, and explained anxiously: "Everything that happened tonight is an illusion. The Xiahou brothers used their bodies as bait to lure the lord to chase and kill him. Their real intention was to lead the lord to the ferry. When the lord stepped onto the brigade and chased him, they would destroy the lord and kill him with the power of the flood!"

"Ah! Are you saying that the Xiahou brothers want to lead the lord to the ferry bridge and then destroy the lord, causing the lord to fall into the flood?" Huan Fei said in amazement.

"That's right! Hurry up to the ferry quickly and stop the lord from going up the bridge to chase, otherwise everything will be over!" Guo Jia responded casually.

"Lord is in danger?" As he pondered, Huan Fei's face changed suddenly, and then he took big steps.

In an instant, Guo Jia seemed to be like a flying man in the air, without any effort. He just had to lightly tap his toes and tread his feet, and Huan Fei could be pulled to the ferry by running to the ferry.

"Boom boom boom boom--"

However, just as Huan Fei and Guo Jia stepped out of the gate, a loud bang suddenly came from the direction of the ferry, so that they could see fierce waves several feet high from the river hundreds of steps away from the ferry.

In an instant, Huan Fei and Guo Jia suddenly stopped, opened their eyes wide and looked at the huge waves of the roaring Hongfeng in the distance with a dull look on their faces. They were motionless, as if they had lost their souls in an instant, speechless and indifference.

I don’t know when, maybe a moment, maybe a while, or an hour, but the huge waves of the flood peak had already disappeared. But Huan Fei and Guo Jia were still standing still, staring at the direction of the ferry, with nothing in their eyes, a dull look.

"call---"

A gust of fragrant wind blew past Huan Fei and Guo Jia, but they still had no reaction, so a delicate figure ran straight to the ferry in front of them, without attracting their attention.

"Husband, Husband, Husband! Where are you, Husband? Come out——"

Until there were bursts of sad crying sounds heard on the bank of the Ferry River, Guo Jia and Huan Fei suddenly moved, and then ran quickly towards the Ferry River.

Only then did they notice that the rain had stopped, the strong wind had disappeared, and there was no lightning and thunder in the sky. A crescent moon was hanging in the sky, and stars were everywhere in the sky, brilliant and gorgeous.

The crying person at the ferry shore was nothing but someone else, but Bu Lianshi who became Li Li a few hours ago and lost his mother most of the time ago.

This is a miserable woman. She went from a young girl to a young woman overnight, from a child with a mother to an orphan, but now she has changed from a young woman to a widow.

This is the sadness of the world, and the misfortunes of fate are limited to this.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness overnight, and grudges, love and hatred are all empty.

How many foolish men and women in ancient and modern times have a cry of sorrow and tears.

Amid the crying cry of Bu Lianshi, Huan Fei and Guo Jia walked to the shore step by step in a very heavy mood, and gently walked to Li Zhi who was kneeling in the face of the Jinniu battle knife.

They didn't know how long Li Zhi had been kneeling here, but they saw that the expression on Li Zhi's face was neither sad nor happy, his eyes were dull and empty, and there were still dry tears on his cheeks.

"What a fate that can be broken! A mistake turns into eternal regret, and we are incompetent!" Facing the moonlight, Guo Jia looked at the surging flood with a remorse and murmured softly.

At this moment, Guo Jia felt extremely regretful and regretful. He looked at the flood that had subsided slightly with a sad expression, and was completely disappointed.

As early as when Li Li took the knife and went out to chase Xiahou Dun, Guo Jia had a vague premonition, and felt something was strange and he was very uneasy. Therefore, he followed Li Li to the gate, hoping to see the situation of the ferry with him to see with him to confirm the ominous premonition in his heart. However, Li Li took into account his safety and did not let him accompany him, for fear of repeating the same mistakes again and following in the footsteps of the Bushi family.

Who would have thought that after parting before, the lord Li Li did not escape the trap carefully set by the Xiahou brothers and was buried in the torrent.
