Cangyanggang.

This place is relatively close to Xiajing, one of the three capitals of the Liao Kingdom, and is a dense mountain forest.

There are so many thieves and gangsters hiding there that the government can't spare any manpower even if they want to clear them out.

In one of the mountain valleys.

Lai Junjie touched his sleeping son and looked at Lu Tongchen opposite.

He reached out and pulled up a piece of clothing, pulled out a dagger, and slashed with it.

He had already cut off the corners of his clothes.

"Today I cut off my robe and cut off my righteousness with you, and I will have no grudges in life or death from now on!"

"Lu Tongchen, please leave. Once we get out of this trench, we are no longer brothers, but enemies." Lai Junjie said in a cold tone.

Lu Tongchen swallowed his saliva.

He wanted to say something, but under the intense gaze of Lai Junjie, he did not say anything. He just turned around and quickly jumped out of the trench.

The few men who had followed him wholeheartedly left the trenches and followed behind him.

It's not that Lu Tongchen didn't want to kill Lai Junjie in order to gain money and status as a vote, but he knew that people like himself were no match for Lai Junjie and others.

Even if Lai Junjie and others were hungry for more than half a month and never had enough to eat, they still had no confidence in taking it down.

He doesn't feel that his choice is wrong.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

What's wrong with living? Do you have to die for an illusory goal?

He would not like to die that way.

He walked with a few people for a while and saw neatly dressed officers and soldiers in front of him.

The leader is a general named Yuwen Kaihui, who comes from the famous Yuwen family.

Yuwen Kaihui took a step forward and took a look at Lu Tongchen and others.

"Are you a traitor anyway?" Yuwen Kaihui shouted slowly.

"I tell you, your lord, we are good people. We are the ones who brought the news to you. Your lord has agreed to pardon our crimes and give us rewards." Lu Tongchen lowered his head with a flattering smile.

"Come closer, I will tell you a great thing." Yuwen Kaihui said slowly.

Lu Tongchen trotted hurriedly to Yuwen Kaihui's side, ready to listen to Yuwen Kaihui's instructions.

"Whoa!"

Suddenly there was a sound of blade rubbing!

Later, everyone discovered that a red line appeared on Lu Tongchen's neck.

Blood gradually seeped out of this red line, and immediately, Lu Tongchen's head fell from his neck, and blood spattered out.

Everyone was astonished and stood as dumbfounded.

Yuwen Kaihui held a knife in his hand and spat on the ground.

"What kind of person, a dog-like person, dares to ask for rewards from me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people brought by Lu Tongchen turned around and ran away.

Yuwen Kaihui waved his hand, and crossbow arrows shot out continuously from behind, turning several people into a hornet's nest.

"Please remember, this credit is due to our hard work and hard work, and we finally blocked a group of traitors in the mountains and finally wiped them out. If no one spreads the message, it is all false."

Then, he pointed to several corpses on the ground and said: "These rebels jumped out of the mountains at the end of the road and wanted to attack us. In the end, they were killed by our brave soldiers."

Yuwen Kaihui said loudly.

"Okay, the general is wise, that's exactly what he is."

"This credit belongs to the general, and no one passed on the message."

"The general is wise and powerful. He pursued the rebels for a month and finally wiped them out."

A group of soldiers gathered behind him.

"Ahem!"

"This is the truth of the matter. Well, okay, everyone, go back to your positions and maintain formation. We will advance slowly and slowly push the rebels into a desperate situation." Yuwen Kaihui said.

There is a reason why Yuwen Kaihui is so cautious.

He has already fought against the traitor inside.

Although he himself has superb martial arts skills and is close to a master, there are more than one rebels inside who can compete with him. If he really rushes in and resists, he may suffer heavy casualties, and he may also make a mistake.

It would be better to slowly surround them, leaving the traitors inside with nothing to eat or drink, gradually wearing down their physical strength, and finally falling down without him having to exert any effort.

…

Lai Junjie was in the mountain col and saw the fate of Lu Tongchen and others from a distance. He remained silent, but Shen Tubin's eyes, standing aside, were full of joy.

"This is the fate of surrendering to officers and soldiers. Huh, you thought you could get glory and wealth, but in the end, you became a stepping stone for others. It's sad."

"Abin, the officers and soldiers have surrounded us, are you afraid?" Lai Junjie did not comment on Lu Tongchen's group, because at the moment when their robes were cut off, Lu Tongchen and others were no longer brothers.

It's the enemy. No matter how many enemies die, what does it have to do with him!

"Don't be afraid. When they get close, I'll charge for a while and lead the enemies away. Brother, you take the children and leave from behind." Shen Tubin said with a big smile.

He is in a very happy mood now.

The fate of Lu Tongchen and others was exactly what he wanted, which proved that compromise cannot bring about a good ending.

"If I leave, what about you?" Lai Junjie asked.

"Me, brother, you understand that I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to eat meat and drink wine with my brother. When I die next year, my brother will come to my grave and prepare more meat and wine for me."

.”

Shen Tubin had no intention of living. Anyway, everyone is destined to die. Even princes, generals and ministers will end up with the same fate in the end. If he fights vigorously, he will have something to talk about even when he comes to the Lord of Hell.

"No, Abin, there's something I'm hiding from you... The time wasn't right, so I didn't tell you..."

"Well, we don't need anyone to fight hard this time, because we have reinforcements and have persisted for many years. Our hope is here." Lai Junjie said slowly.

"Brother, are there really reinforcements? Oh, brother, it seems we can still survive!" Shen Tubin said happily.

Not only Shen Tubin was happy, but other men also gathered together, and their already depressed moods became radiant again.

None of the men present doubted Lai Junjie's words. In fact, in all these years, Lai Junjie had never told a lie.

As long as you say it, it will be a spit and a nail, it is true!

Absolute integrity brings absolute trust!

But they didn't know that this time, Lai Junjie lied. It was the only lie in his life and it was also the last time!

Lai Junjie did not show any signs of strangeness. Instead, he said with high spirits: "You see, the enemies are already approaching. When they get closer, we will jump out of the trenches and fight with them. When the time comes, reinforcements will come from behind."

Come to kill, cooperate inside and outside, and kill the enemy without leaving any trace behind!"

"Here!" everyone said in unison.
Chapter completed!
