Chapter 284

When Chu Zhiyi went to the battlefield for the first time, he was only sixteen years old.

As a prince, he did not have a strong maternal background. When it came to inheriting the throne, he knew that he could not compete with his brothers. If he stayed in the capital, he might become someone else's chopping block.

Therefore, he took the initiative to volunteer and became the left forward under the general at that time.

That year, Turks frequently harassed the border, and the people of Dajing suffered terribly.

He rushed into the battlefield at the forefront, swung his sword, and the moment the sharp blade cut into the enemy's body, he even clearly heard the sound of bones being chopped.

Warm blood splashed into his eyes, and the world was dyed red in an instant.

He heard his own heartbeat beating violently, but he couldn't tell whether it was fear or excitement.

On that battlefield where you either die or live, he killed old men with gray beards and teenagers.

He has seen the fierce eyes and the panic-stricken faces after being forced into the battlefield.

His heart had been watered with blood and became extremely cold and hardened by the killings over and over again.

He did not participate in the battle for the throne. He has always been at the border to protect his family and country.

But he didn't expect that his first battle after being recalled to Beijing would be against his five brothers.

He would never forget the scene that day. The faces of his brothers were either ferocious, fearful or unwilling.

When the spear pierced the flesh, the memory of playing together when he was young came back, tearing his whole body apart like an evil ghost.

He will always remember that the Eighth Emperor grabbed the spear in his hand before he died, with blood spurting from his mouth, and said with a smile, "Old Thirteen, Brother Emperor, I'm waiting for you below."

He understands that the cunning rabbit will die and the lackey will be cooked.

He also knew that after the Five Kings Rebellion, he would become the only fear of the current emperor.

He is not afraid of death.

When killings are entangled and sins cannot be washed away, death is a kind of relief.

But behind him there is a group of brothers who have been with him through life and death, and he cannot just watch them die with him.

So, he escaped.

He escaped from the battlefield, the court, and all the previous disputes, and came to this small village three hundred miles away to become an ordinary hunter.

Work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

Occasionally, I would go into the mountains to hunt wild animals in exchange for three meals of food and clothing.

But he also knew that the imperial brother had not let him go.

The woman in the room was thin and frail, but she was definitely not as simple as she seemed.

It's getting dark.

Qiao Nian found that there seemed to be a few more men in the yard.

Chu Zhiyi's residence is not big, and the main room and bedroom are together.

In order not to disturb Qiao Nian, they moved the table out of the house and borrowed a round table from the village. Eleven people sat around the table, drinking wine and eating meat.

Chu Zhiyi knew that Qiao Nian would not want to sit with a group of big and thick men like them, so he specially took a big bowl, added rice, put several pieces of meat and served it to her.

Qiao Nian thanked her and ate by herself in the room.

But unexpectedly, there was a sudden exclamation in the yard.

She was startled. She turned around and saw that Chu Zhiyi and the man sitting opposite had already stood up. The two of them stretched out their hands to make fists, "Hey brothers, three stars, four seasons of wealth! If you lose, drink!"

The voice is bold and strong.

The man sitting across from me picked up the wine jar and took a swig. He was unconvinced and said, "Come again!"

The others laughed and cursed, occasionally accompanied by a few foul words.

The word "rough man" became concrete at this moment.

Qiao Nian was stunned for a moment.

Chu Zhiyi had his back turned to Qiao Nian, so he naturally didn't notice.

But the man sitting opposite him saw it, couldn't help but glance at Chu Zhiyi, and raised his chin slightly.

Chu Zhiyi then turned around and saw Qiao Nian looking at them and giggling, as if he suddenly realized something. He pushed the person next to him and said, "Be quiet."

The group of people seemed to have just realized that there was a woman here, and she apologized hastily, "I'm sorry, girl, we big bosses are used to talking nonsense!"

"Yes, girl, if you heard something offensive just now, just think that we farted!"

"You are the one who smells the most, hahaha!"

"Fuck you!"

For a while, several people started laughing again.

Qiao Nian looked at the men in front of her. Although they were rude, the atmosphere was as harmonious as she had ever seen.

At that moment, he smiled softly and said, "You don't need to pay attention to me, just enjoy yourself."

Her gentle whisper made several people stop and froze.

He calmed down unconsciously.

Chu Zhiyi nodded slightly to Qiao Nian before sitting down again.

The third child beside him gently pushed Chu Zhiyi and said in a low voice, "I have never heard such a soft voice. If she was not sent by that person, why don't you just accept her?"

Chu Zhiyi's eyebrows turned cold, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Why are you talking nonsense? We are all married, and you are the only one left!"

The second child sitting next to Chu Zhiyi also lowered his voice and said, "That's right, do you really want to be a loner?"

Lao Liu on the side also came over and chuckled, "Brother must have some thoughts, otherwise he can keep a woman here for so long? It's time to go out when you wake up!"

Chu Zhiyi raised his eyes and glared at Lao Liu, then lowered his voice and said, "She has Jing Yan's safety buckle hanging around her neck."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and they resisted not turning back to look at Qiao Nian, for fear that Qiao Nian would find out that they were talking about her.

Jing Yan and the others knew him. The man who had accompanied Chu Zhiyi in the valley for a day and a night was several years younger than them and was almost accepted into the Tiger Guards.

"So this is Jing Yan's sister?"

"Why do I feel that she is so evil? How come it was such a coincidence that she was rescued by the eldest brother?"

Qiao Nian didn't know why, but the group of men outside the house suddenly put their heads together and whispered.

She wanted to listen, but the sound was too quiet and she couldn't hear it clearly, so she had to give up.

Fortunately, after a while, the few of them returned to their previous heroic appearance.

But they didn't say a single foul language.

I don't know how long it took, and the yard became quiet.

Qiao Nian looked outside and saw that several people were lying on the ground, and some were lying on the table.

It looked like one or two of them were drunk.

She was shocked. These people couldn't just lie there and sleep all night, right?

Qiao Nian frowned, stood up and walked out.

Her left foot was still tied with a wooden board, but it could touch the ground.

She limped out.

Her figure walked out of the fenced yard.

Chu Zhiyi, who was pretending to be asleep, frowned slightly, and saw that the third brother not far away had already pulled out a dagger from his waist, slowly stood up and followed.

Even if she was Jing Yan's sister, if she was used by the dog emperor, she could not be kept!
