Kuai Yue's eyes were red, his face was twisted, he grabbed Xi Zhu's sleeve, and shouted: "Xi Wenhui, what did you do? Why did you assassinate Sun Jian, anger Sun Ce, and hurt my whole family?"

Xi Zhu Wen was weak and could not break Kuai Yue's hand even after using all his strength. His face turned red and he was furious. He slapped Kuai Yue on the face. With a crisp "pop", Kuai Yue was stunned. Taking this opportunity, Xi Zhu broke free from him.

"Kuai Yidu, you are crazy. If you don't pursue me at this time, you still have the intention to hold me accountable? What does this matter have to do with me? It's your Kuai family's troops who want to avenge Zirou. I just helped spread some news. Don't think that this is your own business. If Sun Ce knew that this matter was related to me, my Xi family would not be able to escape. It was not me who harmed you, but you who harmed me and Xi family!"

Kuai Yue stared at Xi Zhu tightly, tears rolling down his twitching face. Although his family had been captured by Sun Ce, he never expected that this day would happen. When the two armies fought, it was common for them to capture the other party's family as hostages, but they usually would not kill them, and they would not kill so many people. Only a guy like Dong Zhuo would kill the whole family. Sun Jian and his son wanted to occupy Xiangyang, instead of robbing one and then leaving. It was impossible not to consider the influence. If Sun Jian had not been assassinated, Sun Ce would not have been so crazy.

Liu Biao sat aside with a expressionless face. "There is no use for the different reasons, and it is useless to scold you. Sun Ce is incompatible with you. If you don't seize this opportunity to take his life, you will take your life when he recovers."

Kuai Yue sat on the table with a mess. He also wanted to go out of the city to seek revenge on Sun Ce, but he knew better that even if Sun Ce was in charge of military power, it would be easy to destroy him. Not long ago, Sun Ce had just led his troops to kill Xiahou Yuan, which had proved his ability.

However, it is not enough not to leave the city. As Liu Biao said, Cao Cao would definitely fail if he let Cao Cao face Sun Ce alone. Yuan Shao's plan to capture Jingzhou is likely to be frustrated. When Sun Ce takes action, he will definitely attack Xiangyang City again. The blood feud between them has already formed, either Sun Ce or he dies, and this is not a solution.

"Wait a little longer." Kuai Yue gritted his teeth. "Sun Ce just left, he will definitely be careful and will not give us a chance. Wait for two days, and when he relaxes his guard, it will not be too late for us to chase him." He paused and said, "I want to go to Caizhou first and ask Cai Xin for justice."

Liu Biao stroked Yu Ruyi in his hand and rolled his eyes disapprovingly.

——

Although Kuai Yue did not pursue Sun Ce immediately, he was not idle. He sent a large number of scouts out of the city to reconnaise and took a day to determine the situation outside the city. Except for the one thousand people stationed in Fancheng on the other side of Mianshui, only Caizhou left some of the troops. Sun Ce led the main force to rush to Xinye to rescue the siege. A day later, it was already fifty miles away.

Kuai Yue then led his troops out of the city and headed straight for Caizhou. The navy had been kidnapped by Sun Ce and was transporting troops and food north. Kuai Yue could only board Caizhou on a small boat. The boat could only transport thirty people at a time. It took Kuai Yue half a day to transport 3,000 people across the Mian River. When he crossed the water, the gate of the Cai family manor was closed, and there was no one to come out to check the situation. Kuai Yue sent Xi Zhu to see him, but he was turned away, and Cai Feng did not see him at all.

Kuai Yue gathered his troops and came to the front of the village.

At this time, the gate of the Cai family opened, and there were several mats inside the gate. A young man sat down with a few and was drinking. Behind him was a burly sweat, with two halberds inserted into his back and a long sword. A row of armored soldiers held swords and shields in half a circle, staring at Kuai Yue. The young man raised his wine glass and smiled slightly. "Kuai Yue, I thought you were going to be a turtle that shrank for the rest of your life, but I didn't expect you to come out."

"Who are you?" Kuai Yue felt stern and quietly gestured to signal his subordinates to retreat.

"Sun Ce from Jiangdong."

Although he was mentally prepared, Kuai Yue was still shocked when he heard the word Sun Ce. The scout found that Sun Ce had crossed the Qingshui River and was rushing to Xinye, but he appeared here at this moment, so he was naturally trapped. Fortunately, he was cautious, and the ship that crossed the water was still there, and it was still time to retreat. But facing his enemies, he couldn't control his hatred.

"Sun Ce, if you kill my whole family, I will be incompatible with you. I will definitely kill your Sun family to take revenge in the future."

"Why do you need to be in the future?" Sun Ce stood up, stretched out his hand, and Dian Wei handed over the long sword. Sun Ce took the knife in his hand and played with a knife. He felt bad when he killed dozens of Kuai's family in one breath, but this was not the time of compassion. He finally earned Kuai Yue out of the city, so he could not let Kuai Yue escape back. "I will give you a chance, you will fight one-on-one. If you win, I will die. If I win, you will die. Do you dare?"

Kuai Yue, who was retreating, stopped, stared at Sun Ce for a while, and shook his head. "I am not your opponent, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years..."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Ce raised his hand. Kuai Yue immediately opened his eyes wide. A group of women were pushed out. Their hair was slanted, their clothes were disheveled, their faces were covered with dirt. Seeing Kuai Yue, they cried and tried desperately to break free from the soldier's hand, but their strength was limited. Seeing Kuai Yue who was close to him, they could not get close.

"Ahon, save me-"

"Second brother, save us-"

"Husband, save me-"

Kuai Yue felt a stream of passion surge on his head. He pulled out the long sword from his waist, stepped forward, and hissed. "Sun Ce, you must die a little..."

Sun Ce sighed. "As soon as he enters the Shura field, who can guarantee that he can have a good end? Kuai Yidu, I will give you a ride." As he said that, he danced a long sword and went up, slashed it with one knife, and then arrived first. The tip of the knife cut across Kuai Yue's neck, and blood shot out.

The two passed by, and Kuai Yue stood there in a daze, leaning on the ground with a knife in his left hand, touching his neck with his right hand, and touching the warm blood with one hand.

Sun Ce withdrew his sword and did not look at Kuai Yue again. He slowly walked towards Xi Zhu and waved.

"Xi Wenhui, it's up to the Kuai family. Now it's time to talk about your Xi family."

Xi Zhu's face was pale and his legs were weak. "I...what can I do with my Xi family?"

"If your Xi family is fine, how could you appear here? If your Xi family is fine, how could your father be attacked in Xianshan? Xi Wenhui, if you uphold morality and refuse to cooperate with me, I will at most take away your property and will never kill you. At least you can be a gentleman like Pang Degong and support yourself. While you are loyal to me, you secretly communicate with Kuai Yue and assassinate your father, and this is no wonder I am."

Xi Zhu could no longer stand, sat on the ground, and shouted tremblingly: "Mr. Cai, Brother Huang, save me..."

There was no other voice in the Cai family manor except for the crying and scolding of the Kuai family's female family. Cai Feng and Huang Chengyan were not even exposed. Xi Zhu shouted twice, and saw that there was no hope of asking for help, and sighed. "A lifetime of reputation will be ruined by one's life. Sun Ce, you should do it. I have nothing else to ask for, just ask you to leave a whole body for me."

Sun Ce waved. Beidou Feng walked over, pulled out the long sword from his waist and threw it in front of Xi Zhu. Xi Zhu picked up the knife, crossed it to his neck, bit his teeth for a long time, but could not make any move. He looked at Sun Ce begging, and just as he was about to beg for mercy, Sun Ce snorted. Beidou Feng leaned over and held his hand and the hilt together, pulled it hard, and the sharp blade cut the blood vessels. Xi Zhu made a giggle and fell to the ground softly.
