I didn't sleep well in the Internet cafe yesterday. I slept all morning today and finally got some rest. I missed my time when I was working, and I had to go online all night to cut private servers all night. When I was sleepy, I could sleep in a dark place after lying on the table. Alas, I'm old, as the saying goes, Chongjia will not mention his courage back then; I won't say much, I will continue to take care of my sleep after passing on this chapter...

Before nightfall, Xishan City was blocked.

Wu Fan sat in the main seat of the lobby of the General Manager's Mansion, quietly listening to Wen Chou's roar in front of everyone.

"It's been two days since then. Fourth brother, what are you thinking? Are you really not going to save your second brother?"

"Did you forget our sworn vows when we were sworn? We don't ask for birth on the same day of the same month of the same year, but we ask for death on the same day of the same month of the same year"

"Okay, you are unwilling to send troops to rescue me. I will save me and I just want to die together with my second brother."

Speaking of this, Wen Chou turned around and wanted to leave. Wu Fan didn't speak until then:

"You are not allowed to go"

"What?"

Wen Chou suddenly turned around, his face full of anger and glared at Wu Fan, who was expressionless.

When the other people saw that the sworn brothers were about to turn against each other, they were worried and wanted to persuade them, but they didn't know how to persuade them. One of them tried desperately to save Yan Liang, and the other did not mention the word "Save Yan Liang" for two days. Their positions were at two extremes, which made people unable to interrupt and were not good at favoring anyone.

Hua Xiong couldn't hold back at this time and said in confusion:

"Fourth brother, why don't you go to save your second brother? Did you really forget the sworn vows of our four brothers?"

The ancients used righteousness as the first word, and they also had the aura of "a gentleman's word is as good as a horse." However, Wu Fan and the other four not only became sworn brothers, but also made a vow of living and dying together on this basis. From the day when Hua Xiong and the other two sworn brothers were sworn, they all used this vow as a lifelong vow, and they had no different ambitions.

Now, the fourth brother Wu Fan ignored the captured Yan Liang. How could this not surprise Wen Chou and Hua Xiong? Wen Chou, who was impatient, was extremely sad and angry about this.

Even the others were confused: Wu Fan’s behavior is not like this. Doesn’t it really fit the saying: Knowing people and not the heart?

Then Wu Fan followed Hua Xiong's question and said lightly:

"The second brother has fallen into the hands of the enemy. If he saves him, he will force the wizard to anger. In the end, he will definitely kill the second brother; if he doesn't save him, the second brother will also die at the hands of the wizard. Since the second brother dies in the end, why do he still have to take the lives of many innocent soldiers? Moreover, our army has no way to crack the illusion now, and in the short term, it will be impossible to take down Karasuma City, so he has to find a way to crack it tomorrow and then take it."

As soon as these words were said, Hua Xiong and Wen Chou were both surprised. Wu Fan finally made it clear that he would not save Yan Liang.

Instead, Wu Fan continued:

"As the commander, I control the fate of more than 100,000 soldiers. Of course, I can't be as straightforward as my elder brother and my third brother. I forgive my fourth brother for being in power and having to make such a decision."

Wu Fan's words sounded absolutely reasonable to outsiders, and no one could tell what was wrong with them. Hua Xiong and Wu Fan had been together for a long time, and their personality became much more calm. After hearing this, although they were extremely unwilling to accept it, they could only shake their heads and sigh and remain silent.

Wen Chou couldn't do it anymore. When he heard this, he suddenly became angry and shouted angrily:

"Fourth brother, I didn't expect you to be such a heartless person. As you said, you have the limitations of your power and you must not consider it like this. But why don't you allow me to die with Yan Liang? What's the reason?"

Wu Fan said solemnly:

"The army has its own laws and regulations to restrict the words and deeds of soldiers. If every soldier does his own way because of his own hatred, what will the entire army be like? Even if you are my third brother, you will not have this privilege."

"you"……"

Wen Chou glared at Wu Fan, his chest filled with anger and speechless. After a long time, he followed this breath and pointed at Wu Fan with his hand and said:

"Fourth...No, I, the governor of Wu, I, Wen Chou, will have no brotherly promise to have a vow of living and dying together before, and I, Wen Chou, have forgotten it."

Speaking of this, Wen Chou's eyes rolled in tears, he turned around and shouted three times, leaving with great enthusiasm.

Hua Xiong left his seat in shock, looked at Wen Chou's figure that was gone, turned around and looked at Wu Fan. He was about to speak, but Wu Fan reached out to stop him. Seeing that Wu Fan was extremely cold and expressionless from beginning to end, even though Wen Chou said such a decisive word, his expression remained unchanged. He actually regarded the love of the past as a feather, and was insignificant.

Seeing this, Hua Xiong was extremely disappointed with Wu Fan. He shook his head and speechlessly, and then turned around and walked out of the main hall.

When the rest of his subordinates saw this scene, they looked at each other, not knowing how to break the cold situation at this time. After a moment, Wu Fan said:

"Send the order to the second update tonight, the entire army set off and return to Central China."

After saying this, Wu Fan waved his hand, and everyone stood up one after another, bowed to Wu Fan, and then left one after another.

Wu Fan was left alone in the lobby, his eyes closed and he did not move for a long time.

The next moment, Wu Fan suddenly opened his eyes, quickly got up, came outside the lobby door, and looked into the sky.

The blue sky was clear and cloudless, and Wu Fan's eyes quickly locked on an inconspicuous tit, which flew farther and farther away, heading towards the east.

Wu Fan set his eyes down and looked in the direction where the tits flew away. There was the broken city of Wuwan.

It turned out that Wu Fan began to pay special attention to this skill since Yuan Shao said that the magic subduing skill could deal with wizards. He found that since he withdrew his troops and returned to Xishan City, this magic subduing skill often fluctuated slightly.

The witchcraft calculations by wizards made Wu Fan care very much about this slight fluctuation. Although he was not sure what kind of witchcraft this would be, Wu Fan still had some guesses in his mind and responded carefully from these guesses.

Just after everyone left, Wu Fan deliberately listened quietly for a while, and heard the sound of a bird flapping its wings by the door. At the same time, the fluctuations of the demon-subduing skill disappeared immediately. Therefore, Wu Fan immediately ran out of the door to check what was going on.

Looking at the tit flying towards Karasuma City, Wu Fan nodded secretly: He was indeed not wrong. The witchcraft cast by the wizard this time was to steal his army's intelligence; and he was just using the trick, deliberately making a cold face and ruthless, disregarding Yan Liang's life and death, and ordered his retreat from his army entirely out of the position of being the commander.

After carefully recalling his conversations and expressions, Wu Fan was sure that he had not shown any mistakes, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, among Wu Fan's few guesses, although he also thought that the witchcraft cast by the wizard this time would have the possibility of spying on intelligence, he originally thought that the wizard would use deception-like witchcraft to capture one of his subordinates, and then this person would provide him with intelligence.

Therefore, Wu Fan did not trust anyone, because in his opinion, anyone could become a tempter who was bewitched by witchcraft. And the true thoughts in his heart would naturally not be able to tell anyone before finding the real wizard's eyeliner.

At this time, seeing the tits flying away and the magic-subduing skills were no longer fluctuating, Wu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was also vaguely cramped.

Wen Chou's words certainly hurt people. However, when he thought of Wen Chou and Hua Xiong's indignation because of their deliberate indifference faces, Wu Fan's inner pain became even stronger.

Brothers’ pain is better than your own.

Don't ask for birth on the same day of the same month of the same year, but ask for death on the same day of the same month of the same year

Big brother, third brother, do you think the fourth brother really forgot? Fourth brother has to do this

Thinking of this, Wu Fan burst into tears.

Tonight, the fourth brother will go alone to rescue the second brother. If the rescue fails, the fourth brother will take the lead with the second brother; eldest brother, third brother, I hope that you can forgive the fourth brother tomorrow and tomorrow, and then the fourth brother will know and be at ease...

At the same time, Karasuma City and the Temple.

After the wizard let the tit fly, he laughed proudly, turned around and looked at Yan Liang, saying:

"It seems that your fourth brother is not concerned about your life or death, and will withdraw his troops to return to Middle Earth tonight. Before, I often heard that the Chinese people in Middle Earth have the word "righteousness" to take care of life and death for the word "righteousness". I think again that since you have all become righteous brothers, now that you have been captured by me, your fourth brother will definitely do his best to attack my Wuhuan City until you rescue you. Unexpectedly, the true love will be seen at the critical moment of life and death. You so-called righteous brothers are just a name."

Yan Liang's arms were cut back and tied to a pillar in the middle of the temple. Due to the repeated torture, his clothes were covered in blood and his body was covered with scars. After hearing the wizard's words, Yan Liang raised his head, his face full of blood scabs was very haggard, but his eyes were extremely fierce and glaring at the wizard, saying:

"The fourth brother must have his own reason for doing this. You can see phantom soldiers everywhere in your barbarian city. Even if the fourth brother sends many people to attack, it will only increase casualties. Moreover, even if the city is broken, you will definitely not let me go in the end. Even if the fourth brother knows this, he will naturally not be fooled by you."

The wizard laughed and clapped his hands:

"It's rare, it's really rare. At this point, you are still exonerating this kind-hearted fourth brother. In fact, you don't have to be so tired. Since your friendship is just like this, why bother persisting for it? Why not just abandon the darkness and turn to my hands, so as to ensure that you have endless wealth and glory, and..."

"shut up"

Before the wizard could finish his words, Yan Liang shouted:

"You are the enemy of the Han army? The fourth brother will not take long to find a way to defeat you. Then, the army will be brought to kill you. It will be the day when you are the barbarian pigs and dogs will be thrown away by the dead heads."

This angered the wizard.

He also heard that the Middle Earth Immortal Arts were specialized in witchcraft. If Wu Fan could really find relevant witchcraft after he returned, he would really have no complete solution. Due to the limitation of the scope of witchcraft, the Phantom Soldiers could not be too far from the palace city, otherwise they would disappear immediately. As a result, the Wuwan Archer and Cavalry troops, which had suffered heavy casualties, were naturally unable to ambush Wu Fan and could only let him leave.

Thinking of this, the wizard changed his previous proud look and suddenly became angry and shouted angrily:

"You are a fool who is not aware of the current affairs. You believe that I cannot bear to kill you. To be honest, the reason I save your life is to keep me safe. Now, your fourth brother is about to lead his army away, so what's the use of me to keep you? Tomorrow tomorrow, I will use your head to worship my god Wuhuan."

After saying that, he waved his hands, and the left and right divine servants understood and held a whip to Yan Liang again.

...

However, after Wu Fan left the lobby of the General Manager's Mansion, he walked together, discussing the cold performance of the governor today. Everyone thought that Wu Fan was looking at the overall situation and doing this was right. However, when he thought that the relationship between the brothers and brothers broke down, everyone sighed and shook their heads.

Guo Jia thought at this time and said, "Maybe, things are not that simple."

Everyone quickly asked Guo Jia what he meant. Guo Jia smiled and shook his head, saying:

"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, just watch it."

Afterwards, Guo Jia said goodbye to everyone and left alone in the general's mansion where Wen Chou lived.

Behind him, everyone looked at each other for no reason. Xun Yu called Li Zhan and whispered a few words in his ear. Li Zhan understood and followed Guo Jia and walked over...

At around 10 o'clock that night, the Expeditionary Force came out of Xishan City according to the previous withdrawal orders, and followed the route when he arrived and set off on his way back to Central Earth.

Walking in the team, Hua Xiong and Wen Chou looked suspicious. It was because Guo Jia had already told them before that what Wu Fan said to them was not from the heart. Perhaps just tonight, Wu Fan would have an amazing move, and it must be related to the rescue of Yan Liang.

The two of them were half-believing and half-doubted about this. They believed it because they knew Wu Fan's character well. At that time, they were in the lobby and couldn't think of so much. Afterwards, they calmed down and thought that Wu Fan's performance today was very different from the past. They doubted it because Wu Fan's expression was too real, as cold as ice, which made people feel heartbroken. The two of them really couldn't see that Wu Fan had any signs of pretending.

Despite this, the two were still suspicious and closely watched Wu Fan's movements - in fact, it was mainly Hua Xiong who was paying attention to Wu Fan. Wen Chou was really angry this time. The first time in his life, he was so depressed that he couldn't get rid of it. At this time, he was still filled with rage in his heart. He rode on the horse without saying a word, allowing the horse to walk along the team.

Hua Xiong deliberately looked at Wu Fan not far ahead here, and walked about ten miles away. When he saw Wu Fan ordered the soldiers to call Zhang Liao to him. The two of them walked together. Wu Fan seemed to be telling Zhang Liao something.

Hua Xiong quickly pulled Wen Chou's arm and signaled to go over with him to hear what Wu Fan was saying. Wen Chou shook his arm and turned his head to one side. After a while, after Hua Xiong pulled it off again, he immediately stepped forward and mixed in the cavalry team behind Wu Fan.

Just listen to Wu Fan and said to Zhang Liao:

"If I can't come back for the time being, Wen Yuan must remember not to stay and wait. He will lead his troops out of the desert and return to Middle Earth as soon as possible."

Zhang Liaodao:

"Meng Xuan, I don't know what valuable thing you are going to take, but at this time our army has evacuated from Xishan City, and the witchcraft of Wuwan's wizard is very strange. I am really worried that you will encounter an accident when you go back alone. Why not bring a few generals and thousands of cavalry back together. If you encounter a sudden change, you will be able to take care of it, and at the same time, someone will come back to report the message in time."

It turned out that Wu Fan lied to Zhang Liao, saying that he was in a hurry and forgot something important in the commander's mansion in Xishan City. He wanted to rush back and take it back. He asked Zhang Liao to exercise the power of command on his behalf and lead the expeditionary force to continue to withdraw his troops without stopping for a moment.

Wu Fan shook his head and said:

"No need to work hard for everyone. The soldiers have not had a good sleep for three days. They are extremely tired now, and it is already very difficult to get out of the witchcraft. As for this thing, it is one of the most important things in my life, Wu Fan. I would rather live and die with him than abandon him."
