Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

Gao Yanyou's face turned as pale as death in an instant, without a trace of blood, and his eyes were filled with horror, as if he had seen the most horrifying scene in the world.

He seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, his soul seemed to be pulled out of his body, and he stood there in a daze.

"This...how is this possible!"

His eyes suddenly widened, and his eyeballs almost bulged out of their sockets.

"What magical power does Xiao Fang have that he can see my thoughts so clearly, as if everything I think in my heart is under his control..."

Gao Yanyou felt that his thoughts were a tangled mess, turned upside down by this sudden change. Various interactions between him and Xiao Fang in the past kept emerging in his mind, trying to find where he had exposed his flaws.

Just as he was racking his brains and trying to think of an excuse, Guan Xingmeng raised the shining long sword in his hand high up.

"Stand up!"

Following Guan Xing's order, a man slowly walked out from the Goguryeo guards who had been standing quietly.

This person was none other than the Goguryeo man, and also Gao Yanyou's confidant, whom Xiao Fang bribed with a large sum of money.

He was staggering, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of evasion and guilt.

It was this treacherous person who reported Gao Yanyou's every move and every word in detail to Xiao Fang, causing Gao Yanyou to fall into an irretrievable situation.

At this point, the truth is out.

Gao Yanyou's face became paler and paler, without a trace of blood. Beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead and slid down his cheeks.

"I... General Guan, I..."

Gao Yanyou stuttered, his tongue seemed to be tied, and for a moment he didn't know how to defend himself.

He was like a lamb to be slaughtered, trembling before the butcher's knife.

"Gao Yanyou, you are simply wishful thinking to try to use the Han Dynasty to restore your country!

Do you think you are some great person?
I am just a chess piece in the hands of the big man, being manipulated by him without even realizing it."

Guan Xing stared at Gao Yanyou coldly, as if he was looking at a clown.

"Now that Goguryeo has been destroyed, you are of no value at all.

Not only will I kill you, I will also slaughter your entire clan, so that you will know the consequences of betraying the Han Dynasty, and you will not be able to rest in peace even in your grave!"

Guan Xing mercilessly revealed Xiao Fang's plan to completely exterminate the clan. Every word was like a sharp blade that pierced Gao Yanyou's heart.

Gao Yanyou was shocked when he heard this, and felt dizzy, as if the whole world was collapsing.

His body swayed like a candle in the wind, and finally he fell to the ground. His eyes seemed to have seen the tragic scene of his entire clan being slaughtered.

"Kill them all!"

Guan Xing gave the order sternly, his voice filled with endless murderous intent.

In an instant, the surrounding Han troops surged forward like a tide and pounced on the Goguryeo people.

The swords in their hands flashed coldly, like the scythe of the god of death.

For a moment, there were flashes of swords and killings again, and screams and shouts intertwined together, like the wails of hell on earth.

"Xiao Fang actually wants to annihilate my entire clan!
This person is so cruel and insane!"

Gao Yanyou's face was filled with shock and anger, his eyes seemed to be spewing fire, and his hands were clenched into fists.

"I was actually used as a pawn by him, and he harmed my entire family!

I really deserve to die, I am blind!"

Gao Yanyou watched his soldiers fall to the ground and die one by one, with endless grief and anger in his heart, and he felt that he had committed a serious sin.

Tears welled up in his eyes, blurring his vision.

"Guan Xing, I'm going to kill you!"

Gao Yanyou was extremely angry. He roared and swung the long sword in his hand, rushing towards Guan Xing like a mad beast.

He wanted to die together with Guan Xing.

"You think you can touch me?"

Guan Xing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a scornful smile, as if he was looking at an ant who overestimated his own capabilities.

The sword slashed fiercely, the movement was as smooth as flowing water. "Crack!"

There was a crisp sound and blood splattered out.

Gao Yanyou was cut in half, and the two halves of his body fell powerlessly to the ground, with the breath of life quickly dissipating.

...

At the same time, in the east of the domestic city, a stone door was slowly pushed open, making a dull sound.

A bright light suddenly shone in, illuminating the dark space inside the stone gate.

Cao Yu crawled out of the stone gate. He looked around carefully, his eyes full of vigilance and uneasiness.

After confirming that there was no trace of the Han army, he breathed a long sigh of relief, secretly thanking himself for escaping the disaster, as if he had walked through the gates of hell.

However, the sounds of killing coming from behind him made him feel nervous again.

Cao Yu looked far in the direction of the voice, and a hint of ecstasy instantly flashed across his eyes.

A few miles away, the outline of Neigu City was vaguely visible, and the Han army was launching a fierce attack on the city.

The shouts and screams shook the earth and flames shot up into the sky.

But he was already outside the city and successfully escaped from the Han army's encirclement.

"Xiao Fang, you can't kill me after all—"

Cao Yu's face turned red with excitement and he couldn't help laughing wildly, his laughter startled the birds on the branches.

After a while, Yang Yi and other confidants in the secret passage also came out. When they looked at the scene in front of them, they were immediately overjoyed and saw the hope of survival.

They hugged each other, cheered, and their faces were filled with joy of surviving the disaster.

"Your Majesty, we can't stay here for long, let's escape quickly.

The Han army might discover our tracks soon, and by then it will be too late."

Yang Yi was relatively calm and quickly persuaded.

Cao Yu's laughter stopped abruptly and his face turned gloomy in an instant.

He frowned, his eyes confused and helpless, and asked:
"Yang Yi, where can we escape to?
In this vast world, where can we find a place to stay? "

Yang Yi remained silent, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he sighed and said:

"Everyone under heaven belongs to the Han Dynasty.

Now, the only place Your Majesty can seek refuge is probably the northern frontier.

The area is vast and sparsely populated, and the Han army is relatively weak, so there may still be a glimmer of hope."

When Cao Yu heard this, he felt a pain in his heart as if it was being cut by a knife.

Only then did he realize that in such a big world, there was no place for him to stay.

After finally seizing Goguryeo, they thought they could achieve hegemony, but who would have thought that everything would be shattered in the blink of an eye, like a dream.

"Your Majesty, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

As long as Your Majesty survives, you will have a chance to make a comeback in the future.

When the time comes, we will fight back and take back everything that belongs to us."

Upon seeing this, Yang Yi quickly tried to comfort him.

After hearing Yang Yi's words, the haze in Cao Yu's heart gradually dissipated.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"That's right. When the time is right, I will definitely come back and restore the Qin Dynasty!"

A glow of confidence rekindled on his face.

At that moment, Cao Yu and his confidants carefully bypassed the Han army and headed west.

Along the way, they were in a state of panic, fearing that they would be discovered by the Han army. They took every step very carefully, as if they were walking on a tightrope. (End of this chapter)
