Although Li Fang was a little cowardly before, if he wanted to survive in the troubled times, he could only change himself.

During the time when he went up to the mountains to hunt at home, although Li Fang did not catch too much prey, he also slowly practiced archery skills that were not too bad.

Yuan Shu's body was already weak, and Li Fang suddenly shot a cold arrow, and he had no way to dodge it, so he died like this.

Zhang Xun originally stayed in front of Yuan Shu, but in order to put on the posture of his son of heaven, he deliberately set aside Zhang Xun's body.

In this way, Yuan Highway, a prince, was silently buried in this nameless place.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun, Yang Hong, and Yuan Yin were immediately shocked when they saw Yuan Shu being killed by an arrow. They all pounced, hugging Yuan Shu's corpse and shouting loudly.

However, although Yuan Shu was not blind, a pair of eyes were wide open. But he couldn't say a word anymore.

Zhang Xun watched Yuan Shu die in front of him, and immediately became furious. He stared at Li Fang with red eyes, and said word by word: "You should die!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Xun rushed to Li Fang desperately.

Although Li Fang is tall, he has no outstanding martial arts. Even if Zhang Xun is just a third-rate general, he is also battle-hardened after all.

Under the angry blow, it is also imposing.

"Poof!"

Li Fang, who was still immersed in the surprise of shooting Yuan Shu, was caught off guard and was actually cut off by Zhang Xun.

In an instant, the leaders of both sides were killed. After the surprise, both sides shouted and killed each other.

Although Li Fang's bandits were outnumbered, they were a rabble after all. The more than 20 cavalry under Yuan Shu's command, even though they were all routed soldiers, were also veterans of the battlefield.

As a result, the two sides with a huge disparity in numbers were inseparable for a while.

However, as time passed, the numerical advantage of the bandits' side slowly became apparent. In addition, these cavalry under Yuan Shu have not eaten for a long time.

As a result, after strenuous exercise, these people also begin to experience fatigue.

If it weren't for Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun, and Yuan Yin's extraordinary martial arts, I'm afraid that these people would have died here a long time ago.

"Kill!"

The second-in-command of a bandit roared angrily, and while Yuan Yin was dealing with the rest of the soldiers, he slashed him with a knife.

Those bandits who were fighting with Yuan Yin suddenly had their eyes lit up, and they swooped up and hacked Yuan Yin to death.

Folded a general again, and the morale of Yuan's army was even lowered. Not long after, the hungry Zhang Xun was also killed, and Qiao Rui was also stabbed twice.

As for the scribe Yang Hong, when facing the bandits, he had no ability to resist, and he died without a corpse.

At this time, except for Qiao Rui, the rest of the Yuan army was killed. As for the more than 200 bandits, more than 50 were killed or wounded.

If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Jun hadn't eaten for a long time and had been fleeing from Xuanyuan Pass to this place, his physical strength would have been exhausted. I'm afraid that the casualties of this group of bandits will be doubled.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, the second leader of the bandits did not take the injured Qiao Rui in his eyes at all. He didn't care about the death of his men.

In troubled times, human life is like a mustard. As long as he can capture more than 20 war horses, he can use the grain exchanged for war horses to gather more men and horses.

Moreover, the second master also had an idea, that is, to take Yuan Shu and the heads of these people and go to Chen Xu to receive the reward.

Although he had not read, he also knew that Yuan Shu was at war with the great generals of the dynasty. From the embarrassed appearance of Yuan Shu and the others, he could also guess that Yuan Shu must have lost to the general Chen Xu.

The second master believes that the people who can escape with Yuan Shu must also be some important figures in Yuan's army.

If he can take these as a gift of audience and give them to Chen Xu, the general of the dynasty, he will be able to soar just around the corner.

"Stomp, stomp!"

Just when the second master was dreaming, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came. At this time, Qiao Rui had been seriously injured in several places on his body, and he could lose his life at any time.

"How dare a thief?"

Chen Xu led a thousand cavalry to destroy the five hundred cavalry who were the queen of Yuan Shu's palace. Then, he led his subordinates to chase and kill Yuan Shu non-stop.

When Wen Zhao saw Qiao Rui in danger, his eyes immediately split. He grabbed his bow and arrows and shot several bandits who were attacking the bridge in a row.

Dian Wei and Zhang Fei saw that Chen Xu was so nervous, and they rushed into the formation like a tiger descending from the mountain, killing several people in a row.

"Boom!"

The cavalry rushed into the battlefield, and the remaining bandits were all killed in an instant.

Until he died, the second master didn't know who killed him.

After cleaning up the bandits, Chen Xu turned over and dismounted, helped Qiao Rui, who was covered in blood, and said, "General Qiao, are you okay?" ”

Qiao Rui looked at Chen Xu with complicated eyes, and said faintly: "Thanks to the general's concern, Rui is fine. ”

Sighing, Wen Zhao couldn't help but say: "Some time ago, I wrote a letter to General Qiao, but General Qiao never replied. ”

"Where are people like Yuan Highway worthy of General Qiao's allegiance?"

Qiao Rui said: "The Lu of the Eater, the Matter of Loyalty." The lord has the grace of knowing me, how can I abandon Yuan and Touchen because of your letter? ”

Wen Zhao retorted: "General Qiao's family is a family of Hanlu, the late Taiwei Qiaogong, and Qiaodong County are all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, so why should the general stoop to be a thief?" ”

"Hahahaha!"

When Qiao Rui heard this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He looked at Chen Xu playfully and said, "Although you are in the position of a general, are you really loyal to the Son of Heaven and the Great Han?" ”

Chen Xu was stunned, not knowing what to say. As Qiao Rui said, although he Chen Xu is under the guise of the Han family, he is not really loyal to the Han family.

If it were someone else, Chen Xu would refute two sentences. But for the Qiao clan, he always felt a little indebted.

If it weren't for Qiao Mao's father and son to take him in, if it wasn't for Qiao Xuan's devotion to him, if Qiao Mao had recruited him as the leader of the Puyang Righteous Army. It is impossible for Chen Xu to have such achievements today.

For the kindness of the Qiao family, he has always been unforgettable.

But when the bridge father and son were killed, he failed to do anything to save the life of his benefactor.

The Qiao clan is already thin, Qiao Rui is the son of Qiao Mao, who lost his father when he was a teenager and lived a very difficult life.

When Qiao Xuan and Qiao Mao are alive, they can still help him. But after the two died one after another, Qiao Rui had to shoulder the burden of the entire family by himself.

At first, Wen Zhao didn't know the relationship between Qiao Rui and Qiao Mao. It wasn't until some time ago that he learned that there was a general named Qiao Rui in Yuan Shu's army, and he was a little puzzled.

The surname of the Han is Qiao, and there are not many scholars from Yuzhou. The appearance of Qiao Rui made Chen Xu have to think about Qiao Xuan.

He sent someone to investigate, only to find out that Qiao Rui really had something to do with Qiao Xuan.
