When Wu Dading rushed from Qingshen to Jianwei, it was already dark. There were fully armed soldiers and horses outside the city of Jianwei, and cannons were set up on the city walls.

Wu Dading's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something was wrong, so he hurried to Yuan Tao's house.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Yuan Tao's heartbreaking cry: "Brother! Big brother!"

Wu Dading followed the sound and broke into a guest room. He saw Yuan Tao kneeling on the ground covered in blood, covering his eyes and crying. The sword he usually treated as a treasure was thrown in front of him, and the sword was covered with blood.

He strode forward, grabbed Yuan Tao's collar, and asked fiercely: "What did you do to my eldest brother?"

Yuan Tao shook his head in panic, "I killed the eldest brother, I killed the eldest brother. The eldest brother stared at me with his eyes wide open. The eldest brother will never rest in peace!"

Wu Dading looked around and asked, "Where is the elder brother? You killed him, where is his body?"

Yuan Tao still shook his head, "I don't know, what should I do? I killed my eldest brother, what should I do?"

Wu Dading forced Yuan Tao and himself to calm down, "How did you kill the elder brother? Where did the elder brother's body go?"

"He and I were both drunk. When I woke up, I found that I was holding this sword and stabbed my eldest brother in the chest. There was blood everywhere. My eldest brother looked at me with his eyes open and his pupils were gleaming! I threw it away.

Jian just lay on the ground crying, and when he raised his head after a while, his body was gone!"

As soon as Yuan Tao finished speaking, Li Qiande came in secretly. He said coldly: "What a good thing you two generals have done! If Li hadn't helped you deal with the aftermath, you would have died without a burial place!"

Wu Dading put down Yuan Tao, like an eagle catching a chicken, pinched Li Qiande's neck, and cursed: "You thief, you must have instigated the third brother to kill the eldest brother! If you don't tell me quickly, you will kill him

Where was his body placed?"

Li Qiande was in his hands and he couldn't breathe. He struggled a few times and almost died.

Wu Dading let him down. He panted for a long time and said out of breath: "If you kill me, you will not be able to silence the world, and there will be no one to help you plan. How will you get through this?"

Disaster!"

Wu Dading scolded: "I have a clear conscience. Whose mouth should I cover? What kind of disaster is there? Tell me quickly, where is my eldest brother?"

Li Qiande sneered a few times, "You two brothers have no way out! General Yuan killed Yang Zhan, and you were also in Qianwei. Who would believe that you were not involved? We are all grasshoppers on the same rope, rushing together, and the future is bright.

Jin, Jiading, and even the entire Shu Kingdom are ours. If you retreat, you will be doomed. No one will believe your innocence. Wait for Yang Zhan’s wife, children, and brothers to come and chop us into pieces! I have already killed Yang Zhan.

Zhan's body was thrown into the Minjiang River, you have no choice but to listen to me!"

Wu Dading opened his eyes wide and said angrily: "I will chop you up now!"

Yuan Tao rushed over and hugged his thigh and cried: "Second brother, you can't do it! The eldest brother is dead, but we have to live, as well as our wives, children, and children, they also have to live! I am the one who caused you trouble, now we have to listen to the military advisor

Right!"

Wu Dading punched and kicked Yuan Tao, "You pig, you have to listen to the instigation of the traitor. You have harmed my eldest brother, and you have also harmed me!"

Li Qiande sneered: "If you go crazy here for a while, Ma Lanlan will be shot through the chest with thousands of arrows. Go rescue her quickly and tell her where Yang Zhan's body is."

Li Qiande didn't really want to save Ma Lanlan, he wanted to let Malanlan see Wu Dading in Jianwei with her own eyes. Wu Dading had no way out, so he could only be firmly controlled in his hands.

Moreover, in this way, Malanlan can also be sent away and let her go to Xuzhou to recruit reinforcements. When they look for Yang Zhan in the Minjiang River, they will have enough time to make arrangements.

Wu Dading was eager to save people and ran to the riverside. As expected, Malanlan was caught in the arrows. He rushed into the arrow array regardless of his own safety.

After Malanlan left, there were no more random arrows flying.

Wu Dading stood by the river, looking at the surging river water glowing with white light in the dark night. He felt sad and shouted: "Brother, wait for me!"

His sword flashed and touched his neck.

A huge force knocked his sword to the ground, and the horse's hoofbeats sounded urgently. It was Suzhi who came. She turned over and dismounted, and asked: "Why did my husband go to such a dead end? Where is the general? Where is the madam?"

"My eldest brother has been killed, and my wife went to the river to look for his body. I have fallen into Li Qiande's trap. I can't save my eldest brother, and I have no way to prove my innocence. Just let me accompany my eldest brother!" Wu Dading's eyes were dull and his tone was desperate.

Suzhi was anxious and angry, "You are not the one who deserves death! You and I will kill Li Qiande first, and then we will go downstream to find my wife."

After saying that, she went to pull Wu Dading. Wu Dading was motionless, with tears streaming down his face. He sighed sadly: "The eldest brother is dead, and I don't want to fight with the third brother anymore. It was the third brother who killed him. Let's kill Li Qiande, and more will be done." I can’t explain clearly.”

Su Zhi said: "Why can't you explain clearly? I'll explain it to my wife and she will believe you."

Wu Dading shook his head, "It's useless, it was her husband who died. Even if she believes it, Jing Xin won't believe it, Fei Xiaojin and Liu Jiankuan won't believe it, and neither the civil servants, generals, and people of Shu will believe it!"

Suzhi was dumbfounded. She didn't know what to do. There were sounds of soldiers and horses running everywhere, and the smell of war was already very strong. She had to make a decision as soon as possible, whether to accompany her husband or go to Malanlan.

"Second brother, second brother..." Yuan Tao shouted and ran towards him on horseback, "My wife committed suicide. I have no way out. From the direction of Jiading, two groups of people are coming to kill me. Are you in charge of the water route or the land route?"

Suzhi rushed forward, chased him, killed and slashed, and cursed: "You are a bad guy who harms others and yourself, why don't you die!"

Wu Dading jumped over, stood in front of Yuan Tao, and shouted to Su Zhi: "Go quickly and find Mrs. Sister-in-law. If you stay, you will have to become an enemy of her. I can no longer be a human being, and I don't want to implicate your ruthlessness." !”

Suzhi gritted her teeth: "Are you going to abandon your wife and choose your brother?"

Wu Dading knelt down and cried: "I'm sorry, please go!"

Suzhi burst into tears, jumped on the horse's back, and drove away with her whip raised.

Wu Dading turned around and said to Yuan Tao: "Go and find Li Qiande first. I have something to say to him."

Li Qiande came out of nowhere and said, "I'm here, just tell me."

"If you want me to help you, you must agree to three conditions: first, you are not allowed to harm Malanlan and Yang Jingxin; second, you are not allowed to burn, kill, loot, or harm the people of Shu; third, you maintain the order when your eldest brother was alive and join forces with the Ming Dynasty to resist. Qing." Wu Dading spoke every word, and every word he spoke was like a steel needle piercing his heart.

Li Qiande smiled with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, I promise you! Soldiers are very fast. Now, we have to take Jiading before the defenders everywhere have time to react."

Yuan Tao said anxiously: "I've already called you, but you're still talking nonsense!"

Li Qiande said: "Don't worry, the people I sent have already investigated clearly. Malanlan did not expect the current situation. There were only three boats on the waterway and only five or six hundred people on the land. General Yuan brought 20,000 people from the waterway. Cover it up, and General Wu will lead 10,000 people to kill it by land. At the same time, he notifies your troops in Qingshen to blockade the upstream direction of Meizhou and Chengdu. Before Jiading is taken, the people upstream must not be allowed to know what happened."
