The last three kingdoms

Chapter 690

Hu Lie was obviously taken aback, and looked back at Zhong Hui, who said with a smile: "For the two generals Hu Qiu, it's probably not enough just to sign and draw a pledge. Come here, give me a sword!"

Soon some soldiers came up with two swords and handed them to Hu Lie and Qiu Jian. Hu Lie and Qiu Jian held the swords in their hands, but they didn't know what Zhonghui meant, and they were at a loss.

But Zhong Hui said: "Today we raise the banner of Xingwei, so naturally we must sacrifice blood to the flag. Since the flag is sacrificed, there must be sacrifices. The blood of Sima Liang and Wei Guan must be enough to sacrifice. I will trouble you today." The two generals move their hands to strengthen the army."

Hu Lie and Qiu Jian couldn't help being stunned, and asked them to kill Sima Liang and Wei Guan to sacrifice the flag.

The nomination certificate means that when the hero of the green forest becomes a bandit, he should kill one person first, that is to say, he will bear the murder case on his back, so that he can be accepted by the green forest organization.But at this moment, Hu Lie and Qiu Jian were asked to kill Sima Liang and Wei Guan, which felt a bit like a vote of honor.

Simply signing the proclamation is not enough to guarantee their loyalty. As long as Hu Lie and Qiu Jian have the opportunity to turn their backs in front of the battle, or pull away a team, or behead Zhonghui's personnel, as long as they make certain contributions At that time, if they deny that they signed the document voluntarily on the grounds of coercion, Sima Yan will no longer hold them accountable.

But killing Sima Liang and Wei Guan, the concept is different. Who is Sima Liang? There is bound to be an intractable enmity with the Sima family, and with Sima Yan's character of vengeance, as long as it falls into his hands, no matter how much credit he has, he may not be able to offset this enmity.

Even if it was Wei Guan, he was also Sima Yan's confidant, if he killed him, he would definitely die from the Sima family.That is to say, if one of the two is killed, there will be no turning back, and he can only follow Zhong Hui to the dark with all his heart.

Zhong Hui's method was indeed ruthless. He looked at Hu Lie and Qiu Jian with a smile, but there was a cruel look in his eyes. Hu Lie and Qiu Jian were not his confidantes, but they were generals whom he could rely on. Such a general, Zhong Hui, would naturally not give them any chance to turn against the water. If he only relied on signing the call to action, Zhong Hui would know that such binding force would not be enough, and he would have to use some ruthless tricks to force them to do nothing. any way out.

Hu Lie's hands were trembling. To be honest, Hu Lie was indeed a little cautious before, and he secretly had a little plan. It's not too late to turn back.

But Zhong Hui's scheming was far deeper than that of Hu Lie and the others. This move alone had already pushed Hu Lie and Qiu Jian to a desperate situation. Once they made a move, there was no room for maneuver.

But if he didn't take action, it would be impossible for Zhong Hui to trust them, and naturally there was only one dead end waiting for them.

Hu Lie sighed silently in his heart, raised the sword in his hand, and pointed it at Sima Liang.

After all, Hu Lie couldn't fight against Wei Guan, but Sima Liang had no friendship with Hu Lie, and didn't even know him. Although he had a noble status, Hu Lie obviously didn't have such a big psychological burden to kill him.

Sima Liang's face was pale, and his whole body was trembling like chaff. Seeing Hu Lie approaching step by step, he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he took a few steps back, but behind him was a soldier with a knife. There is no way.

Sima Liang fell to his knees and wailed in despair: "Forgive me! Forgive me..."

A fierce look flashed across Hu Lie's eyes. To him, killing a person was almost the same as slaughtering chickens and dogs. On the battlefield, Hu Lie killed more people than he could count. Killing one more person killed one less person Hu Lie doesn't care at all. As for Sima Liang's status as the county king, Hu Lie doesn't care anymore. The current situation has forced Hu Lie to have no choice. You can save yourself if you are bright, and of course Hu Lie will not show mercy.

Hu Lie yelled, and he stabbed down with a sword, directly on Sima Liang's heart. Sima Liang screamed, and fell down softly, without any breath.Hu Lie's strikes were both precise and ruthless, since Sima Liang was doomed to die anyway, so he might as well give him a good time and kill him with one sword, so as to save him from being tortured again.

Pulling out the bloody sword, Hu Lie turned around, cupped his hands at Zhong Hui and said, "Captain, the last general has killed the treasonous traitor Sima Liang with his own hands, can you return to your life?"

Zhong Hui clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Well done! General Hu did not disappoint the Governor. When the restoration of the Great Wei is accomplished in the future, General Hu will be the first to make the contribution."

Hu Lie had a cold face, said nothing more, cupped his hands, and stepped aside.

Zhong Hui fixed his gaze on Qiu Jian and said, "General Qiu, it's your turn."

Qiu Jian's face became even paler, and the right hand holding the sword couldn't stop shaking. Hu Lie beheaded Sima Liang, he had no choice but to kill Wei Guan to survive.

But Qiu Jian is not the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person, he has a good relationship with Wei Guan, between a teacher and a friend, as the boss, Wei Guan has no airs at all on weekdays, and he treats Qiu Jian well, At this moment, Qiu Jian could not take his sword to take his life no matter what.

In fact, the reason why Hu Lie chose to kill Sima Liang was precisely for this reason. It was also difficult for Hu Lie to deal with Wei Guan. Killing Sima Liang obviously did not have so much mental burden.But Hu Lie killed Sima Liang, but pushed the problem to Qiu Jian.

Wei Guan was very calm, although when life and death were at stake, he was not as obscenely begging for his life as Sima Liang, and said with a sneer, "It really is a good way! Anyway, if you can exchange one life for another, Wei dies!" It's worth it, Qiu Jian, let's do it!" As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes, raised his head proudly, and calmly waited to die.

The muscles on Qiu Jian's face were twisting, and cold sweat dripped down from his forehead. He raised his sword, and the blade kept shaking.

For Qiu Jian, this was a painful decision. He couldn't stab this sword no matter what.

Qiu Jian suddenly roared, turned around, stabbed Zhong Hui with a sword, and shouted loudly: "Go to hell——"

No one expected that Qiu Jianhui would suddenly attack Zhonghui. The position where Qiu Jian was standing was not too far from Zhonghui, only about seven or eight steps away. Fast and ruthless, amidst the exclamation of everyone, the long sword had already stabbed Zhong Hui in front of him.
