Chapter 969: You and I have severed ties with each other
As Xiang An said, he and Xiang Yu are twin brothers. Even if they know each other from birth, even if they are born with responsibilities, they are still close brothers. From the moment the two brothers were born, the two brothers seemed to be one person.
The two sides are the same, one is aggressive and the other is calm. Even if the roles are sometimes reversed, such a beautiful and delicate balance is always maintained.
When was this balance broken?
Xiang An remembers clearly that it was in Xue County that the two brothers had their first disagreement when the usurper Tian Jia fled to the Western Chu army.
Xiang Yu thought that Tianjia should be kept in order to arrange it in Qi in the future, but Xiang An thought that Tianjia should be killed. Everyone can kill these scoundrels.
Maybe it’s not a big contradiction, but some things are like rolling stones on a high mountain. Once they start, they carry a rolling momentum that cannot be stopped, cannot be stopped, and can never go back.
Just like...now.
Dongjun, February 20th.
It is the spring equinox, the earth has just experienced spring thunder, fine spring rain falls to the ground, and the gloomy sky makes people feel depressed and anxious involuntarily.
Xi Chu's frontline position is stationed here, not far away is the roaring yellow river.
"General, Your Majesty, he has his own reasons - ah -"
There was a noise outside the commander's tent. Xiang An used a little force and pushed Chen Ping, who was trying to dissuade him, to fly out and hit the weapons rack. Xiang An walked into the commander's tent in the middle of the military camp with unspeakable anger.
middle.
"You bastard, get out of here!"
The angry voice was like thunder, deafening, but Xiang An did not see the figure he wanted to see in the camp.
"...Lao San, where is that bastard?" Xiang An's frightening eyes glanced at Xiang Jing, causing Xiang Jing to lower his head involuntarily, and a drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"...Brother, he said he was waiting for you by the river." After a slight hesitation, Xiang Jing replied in a low voice.
Xiang An turned around, his dark red cloak raised, and he didn't say a word, but his face became even more gloomy.
Almost all the generals of Western Chu who stayed in Dongjun City gathered outside the commander's tent, with different expressions, some were surprised, some were scared, some were uneasy... but no one dared to come up to persuade Xiang An.
, Chen Ping was still lying on the broken weapon rack, and he didn't get up for a long time.
Xiang An walked out of the commander's tent, and the generals outside instantly made way for Xiang An. Xiang An ignored him and walked outside the military camp, got on his horse, and galloped away towards the river.
That evil spirit can be seen clearly by everyone.
After Xiang An rode away on the big waves alone, the generals of Western Chu who were as silent as a cicada finally began to whisper among themselves.
Zijuan was so anxious that she broke into Xiang Yu's tent and grabbed the lost Xiang Jing.
"Third brother, what are you doing! Let's go find the eldest brother and the second brother quickly. We can't, we can't let them..." Zijuan's voice was filled with tears due to urgency, and she pulled Xiang Jing.
Xiang Jing, on the other hand, seemed to have lost his soul, like a walking corpse being pulled by Zijuan.
"Lao San, Xiao Si."
When Zijuan and Xiang Jing were walking outside, another voice came from the back of the tent.
"...Sister-in-law?" Zijuan turned her head and looked at the poppy who came out.
"...I'll go with you." Poppy quickly walked to Zijuan's side, grabbed Zijuan's hand, and walked out.
...
On the bank of the river, on a stubborn rock.
The pure black Chollima Kiyun Wuzui was pacing on the river bank, lowering his head and nibbling on the grass. Xiang Yu was holding the Tianlong city-breaking halberd, sitting on the stubborn rock, and calmly looking at the river in front of him.
Behind him, the sound of horse hooves came.
Following the sound of horse hooves was a roaring question.
"Xiang Yu——!"
"Is this what you saw!?"
"This is the fucking decision you made after seeing it!?"
Xiang An got off the horse and landed on the ground, looking angrily at the figure sitting on the rock by the river.
Xiang Yu had naturally anticipated Xiang An's arrival.
"yes."
Xiang Yu turned around, looked at Xiang An with terrifyingly calm eyes as always, and answered calmly.
"This is the most appropriate decision I came to after calculation."
Xiang An's pupils shrank slightly, and the veins on his forehead suddenly bulged.
"The current situation is somewhat delayed due to Bei Fuyu's obstruction. I need the situation in the Central Plains to change faster." Xiang Yu explained calmly, looking at Xiang An's terrifying eyes, and said matter-of-factly, "I want to let the situation change faster."
Qualified people get a greater sense of urgency.”
Xiang Yu and Xiang An looked at each other's eyes.
The cold wind of spring rolled up their cloaks, and the air fell into deathly silence.
"I have advised you many times, Xiang Yu." Xiang An, who was extremely angry, calmed down. He took a deep breath and said this.
"You betrayed not only my trust, but also the trust of the world." Xiang An pulled out the eight-sided bronze sword from his waist, with a subtle tremor in his voice, "You betrayed not only the expectations of father and the First Emperor, but also the expectations of the First Emperor.
There is a responsibility placed on our backs."
Reaching back with his left hand, Xiang An grabbed not three pieces of large beryllium or a thousand-step bow, but a corner of his broad dark red cloak.
"So this time, I will not persuade you again, Xiang Yu, you are not worthy."
"You are not worthy of the name of a world-saving machine, let alone bear the responsibility of the Central Plains and the world."
"today--"
Bah ————
The bronze sword slashed across the cloak, Xiang An cut off a piece of his cloak, took the piece of cloak in his hand, and stretched it in the direction of Xiang Yu.
"You Xiang Yu, I am Xiang An."
"The end of grace...the end of righteousness."
Xiang An's voice was resolute, like a loud bell between heaven and earth.
Xiang An let go of the fragments of his cloak. Like flying butterflies, the fragments floated towards Xiang Yu and fell into the river. In the blink of an eye, they were swallowed by the roaring river water.
Xiang Yu picked up the Tianlong city-breaking halberd.
Xiang An took out two of the three large beryllium pieces and threw the other piece to the ground.
call out--
Both ends of the ground were kicked out of potholes by huge force at the same time, and strong winds surrounded them. Some things were destined to happen.
Ping——
boom!!!
The beryllium halberds collided with each other with a bang, and a momentum swelled outward from the place where the weapons collided. The drizzle was directly blocked by the momentum.
Xiang An, whose anger had reached the extreme, pushed forward violently, suppressing Xiang Yu's strength. Xiang Yu took advantage of the situation and drew his halberd back, about to stab him again.
Xiang An quickly turned around and took advantage of the situation to spin the big beryllium. The two weapons collided with each other again, and there was a dull sound. Then as soon as the points were touched, Xiang An didn't give Xiang Yu the slightest chance at all, as if he didn't want his life.
They attacked again.
"Death!!!" Xiang An's roar sounded from the river bank.
