Chapter 1197

Cheng Yuan didn't expect to see his brother under such circumstances.

Cheng Xun knelt down beside a charred corpse as if he had lost his soul. The wooden buildings around him were burned to black coke.

"Big brother -"

Cheng Yuan tried to call, and his eyes were full of doubt and uncertainty.

Because there is a large age difference between the brothers, Cheng Yuan's deepest impression of his brother is the figure of him studying hard under the window. Words such as playfulness and slackness will never be associated with Cheng Xun. After Cheng Xun got married, he took his wife to work as an official in other places. Cheng Yuan followed his father, so the two brothers didn't have much contact. Nevertheless, they are closer than ordinary gentry brothers, and Cheng Yuan also respects and admires his brother.

After many years of separation, Cheng Yuan still wants to show his brother his growth. The two brothers sit down to talk about the past and chat about family affairs.

However, things in the world make people. Cheng Xun becomes an official Xu Pei. Cheng Yuan works for Jiang Pengji. The two brothers are hostile.

If two tigers fight, one will be hurt. Xu Pei fails. Cheng Xun is about to become a prisoner.

Cheng Yuan was afraid that his soldiers might hurt Cheng Xun, so he hurried over.

Maybe he was lucky. Cheng Yuan found Cheng Xun without taking many detours.

He ordered his soldiers to step back, go straight forward and stand beside Cheng Xun.

The air was filled with the strange smell of burnt raw meat, with a disgusting smell of blood and iron.

Cheng Yuan's eyes moved to the charred corpse, and a bold idea climbed to the top of his heart——

Brother, is this charred corpse Xu Pei?

Before he could get the answer, Cheng Xun moved his stiff neck, and his eyes were covered with blood of different thickness.

"Gong Liao, I didn't expect you to come."

Cheng Xun still refuses to accept the reality, but Cheng Yuan's appearance makes his last line of defense collapse.

Brother Cheng Yuanjian is in a bad mood and doesn't dare to talk more, so as not to touch Cheng Xun min's fragile nerves.

Before Cheng Yuan could speak, Cheng Xun sneered and asked, "do you want to take someone to catch me?"

"I hurried here because I was afraid that the soldiers under me would not be important and offended my brother. Even if it was captured, I wouldn't allow them to hurt or humiliate my brother. You can rest assured." Cheng Yuan said honestly, "seriously, the eldest brother has been away from home for ten years, and his father and mother miss him very much. Second, the eldest brother may as well go back and see them -"

Cheng Yuan subconsciously moves out of his old parents.

Referring to his parents, Cheng Xun's numb eyes increased a bit, like the lake wrinkled by the breeze, and soon disappeared again.

"I can't serve my parents. It's for my brother. I'll have to spend more time in the future."

Cheng Yuan felt a thump in his heart, and an unknown premonition climbed into his heart, which could not be removed.

"What does big brother mean?" Cheng Yuandao said, "serving your parents is the responsibility of being a son. You are still the eldest son in your family!"

He has a hunch that if Cheng Xun doesn't wake up at this moment, the other party may make some crazy moves.

"The LORD was defeated and forced to set himself on fire - such a deep hatred, Gong Liao. Do you think you should avenge the Lord as a minister?"

Cheng Xun raises his hand, throws away Cheng Yuan's hand, and stands up with great effort.

He knelt for too long and his legs were numb and swollen. If he hadn't supported himself with perseverance, he would have fallen in a panic.

Cheng Yuan's face turns white. If Cheng Xun takes revenge, isn't it——

He shivered. Cheng Yuan was sure that his brother was going to do something, or that the other person's mood was wrong.

"The Lord is kind to me again." Cheng Xun road.

Cheng Yuan gritted his teeth and wanted to shake his brother's shoulder to wake him up. What kind of ecstasy did Xu Pei give him, "Believe me, Duke Zhao has lost! The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, which has been so cruel since ancient times. If the loser today is not Duke Xin Zhao, but the Lord, elder brother thinks that Duke Xin Zhao will let her go magnanimously? Raising a fire to burn himself is Duke Xin Zhao's own choice, not coercion. Why hatred?"

It's true that scholars die for their confidants. Cheng Yuan also admires those dignified celebrities.

However, Cheng Yuan couldn't accept this on his relatives around him.

The eldest brother Cheng Xun has parents, children and a good wife.

Why did Cheng Xun abandon everything and go with the old owner without saying a word?

Chaos began to appear in the five countries of the world. There were forty or fifty princes, large and small, in Dongqing alone.

Most of them were swallowed and eaten by the neighboring princes without even lifting the small water spray. Now Xu Pei is just following their old path.

It's only three or four years since my brother joined Xu Pei's account. Cheng Yuan doesn't think how good Xu Pei is. Why did he give up?

Cheng Xun sneered and spoke loudly.

"I will not surrender Liu Xi to the death, let alone associate with such villains."

No matter how well Jiang Pengji did, she was not orthodox in Cheng Xun's eyes. She was born into a noble family, but she did something disgusting. She was kind to the poor family and alienated the noble family. She did everything under the banner of serving the people these years. She was just a hypocrite.

To put it bluntly, she is just a rebel who plans for herself with the banner of righteousness and does not respect orthodoxy.

Apart from Xu Pei's self Immolation, Cheng Xun also couldn't accept working with a group of people who couldn't make it to the table after his surrender.

Cheng Yuan is anxious and angry. How can his Lord let people slander him at will?

Even if the man is his own brother.

"The Lord is a bright Lord who really has the ambition to calm the world. Even his father agrees with her. Why is the eldest brother so stubborn?"

Cheng Yuangang regretted when he said this. He didn't regret refuting, but regretted that he spoke too hard.

Cheng Xun snorted contemptuously.

"How can you succeed, my rude husband!"

Cheng Yuan doesn't want to argue with him so that the two brothers won't quarrel.

"The eldest brother might as well be calm and think more about his parents, sister-in-law, nephew and niece. A Xu Pei is really worth your trust? He was born in a noble family, but he is not the Lord that the eldest brother found. Even if he is not the Lord, he will be defeated by another person." Cheng Yuandao said, "elder brother dislikes the Lord and doesn't want to obey him. It's better to stay at home. It's not bad to be an official again when the world is peaceful."

Cheng Xun sneered, "different ways don't work together!"

He and Liu Xi will never be fellow travelers.

Let him work under this man's account or rely on others. He'd rather die!

Cheng Yuan has no choice but to summon people to come in and detain Cheng Xun temporarily to prevent him from doing irrational things.

Xu Peigang's death, or his self Immolation, is a great spiritual blow to Cheng Xun.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xun pulls out his sword to fight. The soldiers dare not attack him because of his identity. Instead, They stab several swords.

Cheng Xun laughed coldly and looked crazy. Yu Guang glanced at the stone wall in the yard and a trace of cruelty flashed in his heart.

"No -"

Cheng Yuan was also blocked by Cheng Xun and hurt his arm. Before he woke up, he saw Cheng Xun hit the wall and was scared to death.

There was a dull bang in the air——

A large pool of blood reddened the blackened wall.
