Your Majesty, come back

"

After Chu Xiao heard this sentence, he slowly brushed his palm over the hot sword hilt, and grinned - he was still very young at the time, and young people even loved provocation to this level.

Let his blood flow, and his whole body is hot.

He walked a few steps up the high slope against the wind. The other party was in a desperate situation, and he would fall if he took a step back. Chu Xiao was like a hunter who was calm and happy. He caught the tiger—but not in a hurry. It is the most exciting thing, the tiger is only interesting when it is alive, so he is not in a hurry.

He was already sure of winning.

So he walked towards the tall man with slow steps.

"Second brother, long time no see—how many years, one year, two more years? Why have you lost weight?" Chu Xiao spoke with compassion, just like all brothers who haven't seen each other for a long time, his tone was gentle, just like a poisonous snake His cold and smiling eyes looked at the other party.

The second son of the Chu family is Li Ji, with a single name and a hidden character. He has inherited the advantages of his mother who is so poor and shabby——Chu Qian has a good appearance, so good that Chu Xiao also thinks that, facing him Such a person really shouldn't be too cruel.

Although it is in his pocket, he still hopes that his prey can maintain a beautiful and intact fur-this is a pleasing trophy that can be taken out.

Chu Qian's face was calm and untroubled, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Third brother wants to force, there is no way."

force?No, no—it was Chu Qian himself who was going to betray him, although he was indeed counting his fingers, counting the coming of this day.

From the very beginning, he didn't believe that Chu Qian would stay under his command willingly.

Chu Qian was originally tall and thin, but now he is even thinner. Although his beauty is full, what is hidden under the armor is probably a bone. Chu Xiao thought so badly, and smiled: "How can I Dare to force the second brother, it is the second brother who insists on making trouble with me, no, I will pick up the second brother today, second brother, give me a face, don't make it difficult for yourself and the people below."

In today's battle, Chu Qian's rebels were almost wiped out by him, leaving only a few fleeing remnants, but this is not a mistake.

In the distance, the bullhorn blew mournfully, piercing the sky.

"Second brother, you lost." When the two of them were still half a body away, Chu Xiao stopped, and sighed regretfully: "You didn't ambush well, no, you made the wrong bet—you thought I will definitely go that way, second brother." Chu Xiao couldn't help laughing, his shoulders were trembling slightly: "Where did you get the confidence, do you think you have me right? ?”

Chu Qian also heaved a sigh of regret. The fact that he was defeated has not made him lose his demeanor, "Third brother, if you come to see me alone like this, are you not afraid that I will kill you?"

It's a joke, the slope is full of his army, even if he goes straight to the enemy line alone, he has never been afraid. The young man in front of him is weak and injured, so he has no capital to worry about.

He turned to the blood-stained shoulder of the other party. The autumn twilight was thick, and the blood was more colorful. There were many corpses on the slope, and broken arrows and shields—Chu Xiao didn't know how many soldiers buried him in this low place, but no matter what, he won. .

Chu Qian's army occupies an absolute geographical advantage. The garrison is in the upper reaches of the Ningshui River, separated by the Grand Canyon, and most of Chu Xiao's men are cavalry. Not a mere manpower can overcome it, and in addition to the rainy season, the heavy rain lasted for half a month, so the chances of winning are even less pitiful.

"I know you won't back down, but I never thought you would call directly."

Marching in rainy weather is a big taboo, let alone crossing this level of the Grand Canyon. Chu Qian knew that Chu Xiao liked to take risks, but this time he firmly believed that Chu Xiao would attack from the side of the Grand Canyon.

The constant news from the spies also confirmed this fact. The Chu army camped in the lower reaches of the Ningshui River, and there was little movement. Then one night, a group of people quietly drove into the forest on the left side of the canyon.

Only from this forest can the cavalry bypass the natural danger.

"Giving up the cavalry is a great move."

Chu Xiao took this sentence as a compliment, and smiled: "A horse passes through the canyon, but a person always passes, although it is a little more difficult... As long as people pass, in fact, talents are the most useful in many cases, you say Right, brother."

When Chu Qian's army was in the forest to meet the enemy, 3000 infantrymen crossed the Grand Canyon. Sweep the granaries and left-behind troops of the Chu potential army.

"I thought you could last another year."

It is undeniable that Chu Qian is very good at recruiting soldiers. He is obviously a rebel, and the weapons he uses are better than those of his regular army. Chu Qian is very capable. Get off the brothers.

Under the circumstances at that time, Chu Qian was the best help for him if he didn't become his enemy. After he became more and more wings, he was ready for Chu Qian to betray him several times.He didn't seize such a good opportunity, but he left the army when his power was at its peak and took over his territory.

"Why, the third brother is very disappointed?" Chu Qian turned around and looked into the distance, his side face looked a bit bleak - this posture is to leave the enemy with his back, and the people behind only need a slight push, You can kill people.

With Chu Xiao's self-esteem, he naturally couldn't do such a thing. He watched Chu Qian's every move patiently, and at the same time admired his tolerance.As for being disappointed or not—that's not true, it's just a little regretful.

Thought it was a good opponent.

"The day the second brother leaves, he should think about the consequences."

Hearing this, the other party turned around, without the slightest sign of depression, his eyes were as sharp as usual, and his momentum suddenly rose: "Isn't this what the third brother cares about the most? If I leave, isn't it also in accordance with the third brother's wish? "

Chu Xiao pretended to be very embarrassed: "Third brother, it's not good for you to say that, brother, when did I say that I would drive you away?"

Chu Xiao had a lot of thoughts to chat with the other party and tell lies.And to a certain extent, he likes this second brother very much. First of all, he likes ambitious and smart people. Secondly, we are still brothers, and there is not much difference in age. It is inevitable that there is a kind of rivalry and comparison.

Life without opponents is like a long road without scenery, very depressing.This is actually a very good cyclical relationship. They have been fighting openly and secretly since they were young, and there is no other way but to force themselves to be stronger than each other.

That is to say, I hope that the opponent can follow my progress, but secretly want to control the opponent who is barking his teeth and claws to death.

It was hard for Chu Xiao to tell what he was thinking in his heart, but Chu Qian was defeated easily.This made him a little disappointed, really—they should have had more intense duels and more exciting duels, and this would not have wasted the long years of their fighting for more than ten years.

This was supposed to be a feast for him and him.

Chu Qian took a deep breath, and the light in his eyes flickered. This was the sharp light that Chu Xiao was familiar with, and he couldn't help but take a breath.

"Come and do it once, how about it." Chu Qian tilted his head, stroked the blood still stained on the sword with his fingers, and moved slowly and gracefully like a nobleman who is about to invite someone to a martial arts competition. Even the bloodiest things can be said with grace , tenderly.

It's a pity that the content is not elegant, and even neurotic.

"Right here, okay"

Chu Qian suddenly inserted the wiped sword into the ground in front of his feet, then looked straight at Chu Xiao, and smiled invitingly.

Just like what Chu Xiao described before——Chu Qian is like a flower growing out of a damp and damp place.Flowers should grow in clusters on the fertile soil, but if a single flower emerges from such a dank and dreadful place, something is wrong and it is puzzling.

Because something out of season, no matter how beautiful it is, can make people feel alienated.

There seemed to be a natural gloomyness on Chu Qian's face, and he would look elegant and melancholy when he was quiet, but Chu Xiao just felt that something was wrong, even if the other party was smiling.

Chu Xiao laughed for a while, as if he thought it was a ridiculous and childish proposal, raised his long eyebrows, and said proudly, "Second brother, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me now, do you think I will spend this effort to fight you?"

Chu Qian also smiled, still with this melancholy and gentle look, his eyes are very seductive, especially when he smiles, but there is a madness between the brows, and his lips are slightly parted, "You will."

He doesn't know where the other party's self-confidence comes from. Most of the time, self-confidence comes from understanding.

Chu Xiao's eyes darkened slightly, and he raised his voice, still not paying attention: "Huh?"

"Doesn't the third brother want to... decide the outcome for Feixuan and Qingshuang?"

Chu Xiao retracted his five fingers sharply, and clenched the hilt of his sword - this is his Fei Xuan, and the one standing upright on the ground, the sword light is cold, it is Chu Qian's Qingshuang.

A few years ago, the first time he led troops to break through the city, he confiscated countless treasures, among which were these two famous swords.It is rumored that Feixuan and Qingshuang were made by the same master craftsman and made of the same piece of black iron. They are male and female swords.

Chu Xiao only felt that these two swords had their own advantages, so he picked one at random—it was said to be a male and female sword, but both swords were simple and imposing, and even a famous craftsman in the world could hardly tell the male from the female.

But he knew that Chu Qian didn't mean that.

"Third brother."

Chu Xiao didn't answer, but his eyes were ruthless. The two looked at each other. Without any warning, they drew their swords together. The famous swords came out of their sheaths, and the situation changed.

"Fulfill you." A stern smile appeared on the corner of Chu Xiao's mouth, and his movements were as fierce as a tiger and wolf. He was born to be born on the battlefield, and all his moves were neat and clean without any flaws. Rounds of offensive, although his shoulder was injured, but after dozens of moves, he did not lose the wind.

The army under the slope was shocked by the sound of the clash of gold and spears above, and hurried over. The archers quickly drew their bows and were about to release their arrows, but Chu Xiao yelled angrily: "You all stand back—there is no order!" , don't move!"

Chu Qian still managed to make fun of him: "Third brother, are you impatient?"

Chu Xiao sneered, holding Feixuan in his hand, and slashed in the air: "Don't dawdle with me—"

Whether it was physical strength or moves, Chu Xiao had the upper hand completely, but he was unable to take down the opponent for a long time. Chu Qian was like a prophet, he always seemed to be able to predict Chu Xiao's next move.

"Second brother is really bothering me." Chu Xiao got up early to kill, yes, he didn't intend to put Chu Qian to death at first, but now Chu Qian must die, and the feeling of being predicted is not Well, it's like being peeped into the privacy at some point——

Chu Xiao knew very well that he couldn't mess up his mind at this moment, so he suppressed the rising irritability. After all, Chu Qian was injured and his strength was gradually losing, so he endured the huge pain in his shoulder and smiled back: "Naturally, you are my first A younger brother should take extra care."

The young man's tone was gentle like a loving brother, as if they were really good friends with each other, but their moves became more ruthless afterwards. They were brothers who were the closest in age, but they had never had a real confrontation before. They had to maintain brotherhood. You Digong's hypocrisy, even if Father Chu asked them to compete in martial arts when he was still alive, they just wanted to have a pass, and the result was naturally the tie they were after.

Because for them, to defeat each other, it must be a matter of life and death.
