Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 525 The First Tiger Passes Away (Part [-])
The next day, Yuan Xi ordered Que Yin to wait for Cai Yan to recuperate before sending someone to escort her out of Leling. Although he killed all the people last night, there might be some fish that slipped through the net. Cai Yan stayed here already It's too unsafe.

On the other hand, Yuan Xi was preparing to rush back to Yecheng urgently, as there were too many things for him to deal with.

However, just as Cai Yan sent Yuan Xi out of the gate of the house, Que Yin suddenly ran over in a panic, knelt on the ground, sweating and said: "My lord, it's not good, Deputy Commander Tie has gone."

"What did you say?" Yuan Xi didn't seem to hear clearly, while Cai Yan and Zheng Chun who were beside him showed shock.

. . . . . . . . .

Three days ago, in Anqiu's big camp, Yuan Ping sat quietly in the handsome tent reading a book, while Hu Niu'er stood aside anxiously.

Not long after, Hu Niu'er said a little uneasy: "Marshal, we have been stationed for two days, and Xianhu still doesn't say anything. Some people hate his iron face that covers all expressions."

Yuan Ping smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Xianhu will figure it out. The warship is not ready yet, we still have time"

"But over there at the commander's mansion," Hu Niu'er said worriedly.

"With Kong Ming in the commander's residence, there will be no problems," Yuan Ping said confidently.

"Could it really be that the military command is paranoid, maybe it's just an old friend?" Hu Niu'er guessed.

Yuan Ping shook his head and sighed: "If it's just an old friend, it will never be like this. Yesterday when discussing military affairs, Xianhu actually lost his mind. This is the first time this commander has seen it, which shows how heavy this matter is in his heart."

"In addition, the military commander in Pingchang found out that only Chen Qun and Xu Huang could see that person. There must be a big problem here."

"Then why don't you tell the king?" Hu Niu'er said in a serious low voice. Although Tie Xianhu and them are good friends, Yuan Xi always comes first.

"No, do you think His Majesty doesn't know? If His Majesty doesn't say anything, he is giving Xianhu time and trust," Yuan Ping said with a smile.

"How long will we have to wait?" Hu Niu'er said impatiently.

"Hurry up, Xianhu is an old minister of the king, this time should be enough for him to think clearly," Yuan Ping said softly.

"Marshal" At this moment, a lieutenant suddenly ran in.

Yuan Ping's expression froze, and he immediately stood up and said, "There is movement."

This person is one of Tie Xianhu's generals, and Yuan Ping once ordered him to pay more attention to the situation of the deputy commander in secret.

"Yes, just now the deputy general took a few soldiers and said to go out for a stroll," the deputy general replied.

"Okay." Yuan Xi nodded, and said to Hu Niu'er beside him, "Niu'er, follow up secretly immediately. Remember, no matter what the situation is, without the king's order, you must ensure Xianhu's absolute safety."

"Marshal, don't worry." Hu Niu'er rushed out immediately.

. . . . .

About half an hour later, under an unnamed hill between Anqiu and Pingchang, Tie Xianhu dismounted from his horse, and said to the soldiers next to him: "You wait for me here"

"promise!"

After Tie Xianhu went up the mountain with a whip in his hand, he walked along the difficult mountain road for a while, and came to a clearing on the mountain. The pot of wine was waiting, and when he saw Tie Xianhu, there was a trace of joy in his eyes.

"Brother, you are here." When the man walked a few steps excitedly, he saw that his right foot was obviously dragging, and he was obviously limping.

Tie Xianhu slowly took off the mask, revealing a tired and heroic face, the whole person seemed to be very haggard, apparently he hadn't slept for several days and nights.

And the lame man is naturally Qu Xiao.

When Qu Xiao saw this scene, he immediately paused, and asked worriedly, "Brother, are you alright?"

"Second brother, elder brother came here for nothing else, just to tell you that elder brother will not surrender to Cao Cao, and you should not be blinded by hatred. It was Yuan Shao who killed your adoptive father and broke your right leg. It's not the king, the king has already risked the name of being unfilial to become ordinary for the sake of our Qu family." Tie Xianhu, oh!No, Qu Ren said expectantly.

Qu Xiao's pupils shrank, anger immediately appeared in his eyes, he clenched his fists unwillingly and said: "Yuan Xi is Yuan Shao's son, they are a virtuous person, they are all the people who have exhausted their birds and kept their bows. If you get under the iron face, you will know what kind of person he is?"

Qu Ren shook his head and said: "You are wrong, second brother, it is the king's great love for me not to take off the iron mask, if I take it off and people recognize it, then there will be a lot of discussions among the ministers in the court, everyone will be the king From the very beginning, even King Ji’s reputation will spread, and I will be attacked by many people.”

"You were completely deceived by Yuan Xi," Qu Xiao said frantically.

At this time, Hu Niuer had brought a group of soldiers not far away, hid in the grass and glanced at Tie Xianhu, then ordered everyone to hide, and listened.

Seeing this, "Second Brother" Tie Xianhu quickly put his arms around Qu Xiao's arms, and said sadly: "Brother knows that you have suffered a lot, but all this is over. As long as you leave Cao Cao, Big Brother will immediately report to the King." Please, I will give you the title of Marquis of Yongwu, the righteous father. You are fleeing outside, and the ministers of the court will not have any opinions."

"Marquis of Yongwu" Qu Xiao sneered, then looked at Qu Ren who was full of longing and said, "So, you are determined to be loyal to Yuan Xi."

"Your Majesty, you are the most powerful person in the world. My Great Yan is so powerful that even the Five Kingdoms can't stop it. Second Brother, you go back with Elder Brother. Elder Brother will let you live the best life in the world," Qu Ren said shamelessly.

Qu Xiao fell silent for a moment, and after a long time, he held the jug and said, "I thought today would be a happy day, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

After finishing speaking, Qu Xiao twisted open the jug, took a sip directly, and then threw it to Qu Ren, and said decisively: "At this time, we will break the righteousness after drinking this cup. You are loyal to your big swallow. , I am loyal to my Great Wei"

"Second Brother" Qu Ren held the jug, and said with surprise on his face.

"If you still think about the brotherhood, just follow me, if you don't want to, just drink!" Qu Xiao shook his head.

Qu Ren looked at the jug, hesitated for a while, and finally closed his eyes, full of sadness, and raised the jug.

"No, Xianhu." Seeing this scene, Hu Niu'er couldn't help but rushed out. For some reason, he felt that the jug seemed to be able to take Tie Xianhu's life.

However, Tie Xianhu didn't seem to have heard this, and after taking a heavy sip, he looked at the surprised Qu Xiao on the opposite side, and said lovingly: "It's the elder brother who didn't take good care of you, and made you suffer so much."

But just after he finished speaking, blood was left on Tie Xianhu's mouth. It was obvious that the wine was highly poisonous, and his whole body shook instantly.

"Xianhu" Hu Niu'er rushed over immediately, grabbed Tie Xianhu and said angrily, "Idiot, don't you know that wine is poisonous?"

At this time, many Cao Jun appeared behind Qu Xiao. One of the generals looked at Hu Niuer and the Yan Jun who came later, and immediately pulled Qu Xiao, saying, "Let's go quickly, he won't survive."

Qu Xiao stared blankly at the fallen Qu Ren, who was dragged away directly, and Hu Niuer was just about to get up to get ready, but Tie Xianhu grabbed his hand, shook his head and said, "Don't kill him!"

"He's killing you!" Hu Niu'er said angrily and worriedly.

"Don't blame him, he wasn't like this in the first place." Not only did Tie Xianhu's mouth bleed, but his nose also started to bleed.

"Xianhu, stop talking, I'll take you back to the medical officer right away," Hu Niu'er said sadly.

Tie Xianhu gave a difficult smile, and said, "Niu'er, I, after all, did not betray the king."

After finishing speaking, Tie Xianhu thumped down with his right hand with a smile on his face. Hu Niuer couldn't believe it and immediately shook and shouted: "Xianhu, Xianhu, Xianhu!"

A sad shout echoed between the mountains and forests.

"Deputy Commander!" The soldiers who followed also knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes.

Since then, Tie Xianhu, the fourth general of Qiandi under Yuan Xi's command, and the deputy commander of the Second Army of the Great Yan, died young at the age of 29.
