"The three armies are covered with mourning. Is the fourth brother really dead?"

The news of Yuan Mai's death from an arrow injury reached the Yinguan Camp. Yuan Xi was in a state of ease and summoned several confidant generals to discuss countermeasures.

Standing below is Yuan Xi’s most reliable arm Jiao Tun and his brother Jiao Tong. This ambush was led by Kong Wu’s powerful Jiao Tong. The arrow shot Yuan Buy was also his masterpiece.

"If you die, you must be dead. I shot his heart with that arrow. It would be a big mistake if I don't die!"

In order to seek rewards, Jiao Tong deliberately shot his shoulder and said that he shot the center of the heart. His arrow penetrated his arm and might hurt Yuan Mai's heart. It was possible that he would die. Otherwise, why did the Northern Expedition Army have enough skin and white dust and the whole army shed tears? The young master should really reward me this time!

After hearing what Jiao Tong said so surely, Yuan Xi's forehead actually had cold sweats, and his face looked extremely ugly. His face looked a little scared, "I sent someone to kill my brother. If my father knew about it, he would definitely not bypass me, right? Will he kill me too?"

Jiao Tu stroked his sparse beard and comforted Yuan Xi: "Young Master, don't worry. Think about it, how did Yuan Mai treat you in the first place? We just had to do this!"

"The last time Zhang Nan was attacked, it wasn't really the fourth brother's actions, right? It could be that Qu Yi did it on his back. Will we kill the fourth brother by mistake?" Thinking of this, Yuan Xi was uneasy.

Jiao Chu flatly rejected Yuan Xi's opinion and advised bitterly: "Young Master, don't measure Yuan Mai's heroic abdomen with your kindness. Judging from this guy's recent performance, he is definitely a black-bellied hero. First, he pretended to be weak for more than ten years, so that the third and eldest sons could relax their guard against him, and then seized the opportunity to make a big splash at the lord's birthday party, attract attention, and deceived his reputation. He saved Qu Yi's life and made Qu Yi, who had been through the battlefield, thank him for his long time, and quickly gained military power. Qu Yi is probably obedient to him now. If Yuan Mai had nodded, how dare Qu Yi attack you, Mr. Xi?"

"Is it really because my fourth brother instructed Qu Yi?" After hearing Jiao Chu's words, Yuan Xi was a little shaken again.

"It's definitely him. According to the words I heard from some soldiers, Sun Han came to the Yinguan camp before we were attacked, and told his confidant that he was entrusted by Mr. Mai to do something earth-shaking. Combined with the above, coupled with Yuan Mai's recent performance, it can be seen that he is a hero with great ambitions. In order to seize the military power of these 20,000 people, he conspired with Qu Yi and ambushed us boldly, but killed Zhang Nan by mistake. We will treat him with the same method this time, which can be regarded as one retribution for one retribution. The young master does not have to feel guilty." Jiao Tu tried his best to comfort Yuan Xi, making him believe that killing Yuan Mai is definitely the right thing to do.

After listening to Jiao Chu's analysis, Yuan Xi felt it was very reasonable. The person behind the ambush last time he was probably the fourth brother Yuan Mai, and sighed sadly: "Whether it is the fourth brother or not, he is already dead. Why bother to fight against each other?"

Jiao Chu walked forward, patted Yuan Xi on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Young Master, don't be guilty. If we succeed, the king will fail, the enemy will be killed. If we don't kill Yuan Mai, we will be killed by him! If Zhang Nan hadn't walked the post road for the young master, who would know whether the young master would be safe today?"

"Well, what's right!" Yuan Xi nodded, "I don't want to compete with anyone for inheritance, but my fourth brother insists on forcing me. No wonder I, the ruthless brother, is the brother."

Jiao Chu shook his head again and said, "It's better to start first, then to start the attack. We have quietly killed Yuan Mai. I think the young master should continue to look for opportunities and find another opportunity to kill Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang. The world in the north is yours, Mr. Xi!"

After hearing Jiao Chu's words, Yuan Xi was startled again and frowned and said, "As the general of the Eastern Expedition, he was in charge of the governor of Qingzhou, he was under his command of 60,000 or 70,000 elite troops. With the county and county soldiers, the troops can be mobilized by a total of 100,000 troops, and with the support of Guo Tu and Xin Ping; and his father's preference for his third brother is well known. He has the most elite 100,000 troops in Jizhou. With the support of Shen Pei and Feng Ji, it is so difficult to plot against them? As long as they do not have the intention to harm me, I will never hurt them. What's more, although the four of us brothers are not the same brothers, they are the same father. I can't bear to shoot the fourth brother this time, so how can we harm our elder brother and third brother again?"

After hearing Yuan Xi's words, Jiao Chu didn't say anything on the surface, but felt disappointed. Alas, these two young men are really not a person who accomplishes great things. They are too kind to women. Without thunderous means, how can they achieve the cause of domineering kings?

Looking at Jiao Tu silently, Yuan Xi asked worriedly again: "Will the news leak out when our fourth brother ambushed me? It will reach my father's ears?"

Jiao Tong finally found the opportunity to speak, patted his chest and promised: "Young Master, don't worry, Yuan Mai and his party did not use the banner. I told the soldiers that this is our army played by Ma Qiao, the man from Gongsun Zan, and no one was suspicious. What's more, executing orders is the duty of the soldiers. Only the generals and talismans do not recognize people. How could they ask who they killed? All our army was dressed as Xiongnu soldiers. I think in a hurry, the fleeing soldiers could not tell whether we were real Xiongnus. Besides, I have ordered the cleanup of the scene and buried all the soldiers who died in battle, leaving no clues. You are so kind!"

After hearing what Jiao Tong said, Yuan Xi relaxed a little and thought for a moment: "The fourth brother died in Yanmen. Yanmen is now my defense zone. I was attacked by the Huns in my territory. No matter what, I can't escape! I decided to go to the camp of the Northern Expedition Army to pay my respects to the fourth brother and find out the news. What do you think?"

Jiao Chu was shocked when he heard this and shook his hand and said, "It's not possible to use it. Whether Yuan Mai is dead is not yet determined. Besides, even if Yuan Mai is dead, Qu Yi is still there. If he is not good to the young master, he will definitely be harmed. This move will never be possible!"

"Young Master's move is great!" After hearing Yuan Xi's words, he clapped Yang Xiu, who had never had the opportunity to speak, applauded Yang Xiu, "Miao Zai, I'miao Zai, the young master went to the Northern Expedition Army to perform a play and mourn my younger brother. Who dares to suspect that we did it in the future?"

Yuan Xi nodded: "This is exactly what I mean. First, I can express my guilt and second, I can eliminate other people's suspicion. The younger brother died on the territory of his elder brother, but the older brother was indifferent. He didn't even dare to visit him. It would be strange if he was not suspected!"

Jiao Chu felt that what Yuan Xi and Yang Xiu were saying was reasonable, but he was worried that Qu Yi would act rashly and said worriedly: "Although Yuan Mai died, Qu Yi is still there. If he is not good for the young master, wouldn't he fall into the trap?"

Yang Xiu said, "Why, isn't there any other military supervisor Tian Feng? It's not Qu Yi alone who covers the sky with his hands! He only dares to ambush the young master in secret, but he dares not blatantly harm the young master. The young master walked into the Northern Expedition Army camp with a swagger. If he couldn't get out, Qu Yi was not afraid of death. Isn't Tian Feng afraid of death? The hundreds of people in the Tian family are all in Yecheng!"

"Yang Xiu's words are reasonable, so it's decided. I took Commander Jiao and led 300 people to the Northern Expedition Army camp to pay my respects to the fourth brother, and then find out the news." Yuan Xi slapped the table and made a decision.

"If so, please allow Mo to lead a team of men to meet the young master in the back to prevent accidents!" Jiao Tu made a statement again.
