Chapter 25
In the cold and damp cave, Zhang Bo sat on the icy ground, but he didn't even dare to start a fire.

It was raining lightly outside the cave, and Zhang Bo, who had hurriedly escaped into the cave, was already soaked.

The cold air invaded the body, and the stomach was rumbling with hunger. Zhang Bo had been pampered since he was a child, but he had never experienced this feeling before.

Yan Yi chased him all the way, and the number of soldiers around Zhang Bo dropped from dozens to only a dozen.

A soldier handed Zhang Bo a piece of cold biscuit, but he pushed it away.

The bells ring and the cauldron eats. How has Zhang Bo ever eaten such low-quality food?
In one day, everything was turned upside down.Zhang Bo's accumulated anger was ignited by this piece of cake.

"Yan Yi, you bastard! I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

However, before Zhang Bo could express his anger, the sound of fighting resounded outside the cave.

The situation was critical. Zhang Bo and his soldiers did not remove their armor at all. When they heard the sound of fighting, the soldiers in the cave rushed out.

I thought that the entrance to the cave was hidden and Yan Yi's pursuers would not be able to detect it for a while.But now, as the sound of fighting outside the cave gradually faded, Zhang Bo had never felt that he was so close to death.

Zhang Bo's hands tightly hold his weapon, an ancestral sword.However, Zhang Bo's hand holding the sword was trembling perhaps because no water had been taken in for a long time.

Even if people from aristocratic families cannot feel Qi, they still start practicing martial arts from an early age.Both physically and mentally, he is stronger than the average person.

Zhang Bo had never felt so embarrassed before, so embarrassed that he couldn't even hold a sword firmly.

The sound of the war flames died down, and a small firelight slowly approached, bringing a touch of warmth to this cold cave.

Yan Yi, the person who made Zhang Bo hate him to the core, finally appeared in front of him.

In just a few days, Zhang Bo's attitude towards Yan Yi was completely different.

"You still dare to come in front of me?"

Zhang Bo hoarse, his voice sounding like a hungry beast roaring.

Yan Yi was followed by two soldiers, all of whom were waiting outside.

"Brother Zhang, why do you have to do this?"

"Why did you betray me?"

"If you have never been loyal, how can you talk about betrayal? Don't forget, you and I are the same, as the patriarch of the Yizhou clan."

Yan Yi's meaning is very clear. His status is equal to Zhang Bo's, not his subordinates!
"Do you still have the nerve to mention it? Have you forgotten how Yang Zhong humiliated me and other wealthy families in order to preserve Xia Yunhua's status when he entered Shu?"

"I haven't forgotten! I can't forget either!"

Yan Yi's eyes seemed to be filled with ghostly fire, as if he was recalling the unbearable past events, which seemed a little irritating.

"So, why?"

"Old Huang has left. Don't you understand yet?"

"Understand what?"

Zhang Bo looked confused, but Yan Yi laughed softly.

"Expedition to the North to the Central Plains and wipe out the Huan clan!"

"You believe such nonsense. The Huan family controls the seven states of the Central Plains, and even if Yang Xian controls the entire Yizhou, it is only the power of one state. What can he use to fight Huan Wu?"

"I don't know if Yang Xian can fight Huan Wu, but you and I are just fish on his chopping board. Since we are fish, why should we worry about that? If I were with you, then my Yan family would also be afraid of genocide today. "

"Kill the clan? How dare Yang Xian!"

"Secretly accumulating soldiers, falsely passing on the king's order, plotting rebellion, and killing officials with troops! No matter which one of these crimes is, it is a serious crime of extermination!"

When Yan Yi said this, Zhang Bo's face turned pale.

"But Prime Minister Rende, maybe I can spare your life."

"What do you mean? Could it be"

Zhang Bo suddenly thought of something and his expression became hesitant.

"That's right. If you are willing to tell the mastermind behind this, then you will only be an accessory to the crime. This will cost you Zhang Bo, but the Zhang family can still be saved." "You want me to frame Li Bi! "

"What's the trap? Don't the county soldiers outside Xian City have a share in Li Bi? Since he has this intention, how can he be considered a trap? It's just that this old fox is cautious in doing things, and it is rare for others to get caught."

"Don't forget, the county soldiers outside Xian City also have your share!"

"Hahahaha!" Yan Yi laughed, "The assassins who assassinated the king were sent by you, the ones who let those assassins sneak into the palace were yours, and the ones who started the chaos were you. All the plans from the beginning to the end were You are executing, and the best I can do is to see through the traitor’s plot and take advantage of it.”

"you you."

Zhang Bo was so angry that he rushed towards Yan Yi.But before he even got close, he was kicked back by the soldier next to Yan Yi.

Zhang Bo was lying on the ground, his face covered with blood and ashes.He was holding his belly, veins bursting on his face, and blood streaming from the corners of his mouth.

"You are a swordsman, and I am a fish. Brother Zhang, you should be grateful that the prime minister can still give you a chance at this moment. If not, you wouldn't be able to see me now."

The river is long, with nine twists and turns, flowing endlessly into the distance.

Yongjiang is the largest river in western Yizhou. It has many tributaries and nourishes the people on both sides of the river.

In order to prevent rivers from flooding and hindering farming and mulberry farming, water conservancy was a top priority for the court.

The project Li Bi supervised was a tributary of Yongjiang River.However, this place, which was originally a place with clear mountains and rivers, is now tainted with the slightest smell of blood.

"Master, all these assassins have been dealt with. Judging from their movements, they should be members of the Dongyang Sect!"

Li Bi stood by the river. He had just experienced a dangerous assassination, but there was not much trouble on his face.

"Does Dongyang teach?"

I originally wanted to recruit the Dongyang Sect as a helper, but now, I have become an unrelenting enemy.In Li Bi's heart, there was a few traces of sadness.

The river laps at the shore and dusk clouds pile up.The cold air is lingering in the distance, and fishing fires are starting to light up on the river.It was originally a quiet fisherman's night, but it was shattered by the sound of horse hooves.

As the sound of horse hooves approached, Li Bi raised his head and saw that a few miles away, men and horses were approaching.

In the dark night, Li Bi couldn't see who was coming?As they got closer, this group of people was stopped by Li Bi's family soldiers.

"This is where governance is done, and whoever comes will stop!"

Zhang Bo was riding on his horse, looking embarrassed and shouting loudly.

"Brother Li, help!"

"Zhang Bo?"

Li Bi walked over and helped Zhang Bo up, who had dismounted in embarrassment.

"Yang Xian discovered the county soldiers I was waiting to gather outside and took the lead. Now that Yan Yi has surrendered, I desperately broke out under the protection of the soldiers. Xian City has been turned into a mess, and all major events in Yizhou depend on Brother Li. Hosted!"

Zhang Bo said so far, Li Bi was silent, he put down Zhang Bo in his hand, stood up, turned around and walked a few steps.

Then, when everyone was watching, Li Bi suddenly pulled out the sword from the waist of a soldier on the side, turned around and stabbed Zhang Bo in the stomach.

puff!

In the midst of the lightning, thunder and stone, Zhang Bo didn't understand at all why Li Bi suddenly killed him?
"Why are you?"

Li Bi moved closer to Zhang Bo and whispered in his ear.

"If it was really Yang Xian's child who did it, would you be able to break out? Since you broke out, there is only one possibility. You are the barb released by Yang Xian!"

Poof, Li Bi pulled out his long knife, and blood spurted out, staining his clothes.Zhang Bo fell to the ground weakly, and his eyes still did not close until he died.

"Rebels and traitors will be punished by everyone!"

Li Bi's eyes turned from Zhang Bo to the cavalry behind him, and a smile appeared on his blood-stained face.

"That's right! Brother Yan!"

Yan Yi was riding on a horse, hiding in the crowd. Looking at Li Bi like this, his mouth suddenly felt dry and he swallowed unconsciously.
