"Nurturing son, you're a big deal!" "How dare you be so rude to this general!" However, after the anger had passed, he discovered that the bow and arrow were all gone, so he could only say, "Fine, then we'll see how you'll take that traitor's life. If you can get it, that would be for the best. Otherwise, don't blame me for giving you a hard time in front of General Huan!"

"As you wish." The caretaker didn't take Pan's words seriously at all. He strode out in accordance with his temperament, leaving Pan behind.

"You …" Upon seeing the arrogant look on the servant's face, Pan Tong was immediately infuriated, unable to speak a single word.

But why did this Pan party suddenly come to this place and find a chance to secretly shoot an arrow at Tian Gan? It turned out that when his foster son, Fan Chuchu, had withdrawn his troops from Upper Sky City, he had immediately returned to Sima Kong's camp to report this matter to him. It just so happened that Pan, who had come out in the middle of the night to resolve the issue, had secretly run into this matter. When Pan learned that his adopted son was going to lead a group of men to intercept Fan, he feared that he would be robbed of his merit, so he sent people to Huan Tuan to report the matter. At the same time, he mounted his horse and followed his adopted son all the way here. However, because he had seen how powerful Zhong Li and Tian Gan's martial arts were, he had hidden himself in a corner and did not dare to show himself. "After finding an opportunity to hone their inner strength, they decided to sneak in a sneak attack with a wolf tooth arrow. This was how they saw such a moving scene unfold before them.

Proprietor Zi slowly walked up to Tian Gan, but he saw that Tian Gan was still tightly holding onto Zhong Li's corpse, sinking into a state of deep pain. He didn't even notice that the Proprietor's son was gradually approaching him. It was just as Pan Tong had said. At this moment, it would be as easy as flipping his palm if he wanted to attack Tian Gan. He could even kill him if he wanted to.

However, the owner was someone who didn't want to take advantage of others. He originally wanted to have a showdown with Tian Gan so that he could win with peace of mind. However, when his words reached the tip of his tongue, he suddenly stopped. After a moment of hesitation, he changed his tone and said, "Brother Mo, you will never be able to revive. I originally wanted to have a showdown with you, but since you have no desire to fight today, and I am not the one who raised you, I will not force you. "You should go back and properly take care of this lady's affairs. Once you've dealt with everything, I'll raise a son to have a showdown with you."

When Tian Gan suddenly heard what his foster son said, he realized that he had lost control of his emotions and even lost his mind. He endured the pain in his heart and hugged Li. He slowly got up and emotionlessly replied, "Many thanks to the General." Then, she followed his steps and disappeared from his sight, one step at a time.

"A general, how dare you! How dare you indulge a traitor!" Pan was hiding in the corner, and seeing that the keeper had let Tian Gan leave so easily, he couldn't help but get angry. Hence, he leaped out from the corner and asked the keeper.

"I, General Pan, do not wish to be a villain who takes advantage of others. If General Pan is not satisfied, he can just go after the head disciple of the Mo family." In the face of Pan's questioning, the foster son only replied indifferently and scornfully.

"Nurturing son, don't be too proud too early!" "Wait until you're in front of the general. I want to see how you're going to explain …" Pan was cursing out loud, but before he could finish, he found that the caretaker had already left, ignoring him. Pan Pan felt that he had nowhere to vent his anger. Even his eyes, which were staring at the figure of the keeper, were filled with burning fury.

"Brother Tian Gan, what's wrong with you?" When dawn approached, Fan Yuzheng led the troops and civilians to safely withdraw from the upper class. However, he found that Tian Gan had stumbled back into the army and asked in a very strange manner.

Hearing Fan Yicheng's question, Tian Gan acted as if he didn't hear it, and continued to walk forward. After walking for a distance, he suddenly fell to his knees, his eyes staring ahead in a daze as he muttered, "Zhong Li, she …" "She …"

When Fan Yuzheng saw that he had not said a word for a long time, he suddenly felt that something was not right. This was because how could someone as calm and composed as Tian Gan say something like that? Thus, he immediately asked, "What happened to Miss Chong Li?"

"She …" She's dead. " Tian Gan finally uttered the word 'dead' after stuttering for a long time. However, his words were laced with extreme grief. To say these few words out loud had nearly exhausted all of his strength and stamina. Because before this, he had personally buried Zhong Li's body in the mountains near the mouth of the Cloud Dragon. That kind of heavy and painful feeling had nearly crushed his endurance to this point.

"What?!" Upon hearing Tian Gan's words, Fan Yuzhen's eyes opened wide in disbelief. "How could this be?"

"She died to protect my life. She was shot by a traitor. This is my fault, my fault. I shouldn't have taken her." Tian Gan shook his head regretfully as he spoke.

"This Qin Thief is really vicious, he actually used such a despicable method!" This general will make this evil thief pay with his blood one day! " When Fan Yuzhen heard Tian Gan's words, he finally understood why Chong Li died. He couldn't help but get angry, and he pulled out his sword from his waist, fiercely slashing down, and actually splitting open the green rocks on the ground.

After Fan Yuzhen had cut the rock open with his sword, he turned around and comforted Tian Gan, "Brother Tian Gan, if you can't revive after death, you need to take care of your body. This general owes his life to you and Miss Chong Li. I owe the two of you my life, so please rest assured Brother Tian Gan, even if this general were to stake his cheap life, I will definitely avenge Miss Chong Li! "

When Tian Gan heard Fan Yuchen's words, he suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up, as if he had just woken up from a dream. He immediately knelt in front of Fan Yuzhen and sincerely said: "General Fan, Tian Gan has never begged anyone, but today he has a request for you."

Seeing that Tian Gan actually did such a shocking thing, Fan Xian Yan immediately held onto Tian Gan, his brows knitted in confusion: "Brother Tian Gan, what is this? Since we have experienced life and death together, we are brothers that go through life and death together. Hurry up and get up. "

Tian Gan wasn't willing to be supported by Fan Yuzhen, but he kept kneeling and shaking his head: "This matter was a result of the two of us deceiving the great general for a long time. The reason why we told the truth today is to restore a wish that we had when we were about to die. If the General does not forgive us, Tian Gan will kneel down. "

"Since this is the last wish of Miss Chong Li, why shouldn't I? "Brother Tian Gan, just speak."

With Fan Yuzhen's words, Tian Gan began to tell him what he had been hiding for a long time: "In fact, Chong Li is not a disciple of our Xiang Li, but one of the four great assassins of the Xiang clan, the Southern Phoenix Zhu Rong. His husband's Sect Leader, Tai Gang, colluded with Qin Xiang and Li Si. He had sent his four great assassins to kill all the loyal and virtuous subjects of the Qin Empire, and all the close friends of the Great General, Han Fei, had died at the hands of the four great assassins. And the killer ordered to exterminate Sir Han's sect was none other than South Phoenix Zhu Rong, also known as Miss Chong Li. "Miss Zhong Li has always resented this matter and was determined to change the course of events. Hence, she decided to help Tian Gan to save you and to find Young Noble Cheng."

"What?!" "You said that the culprit who killed my Brother Han Fei is actually Miss Chong Li?!" Before Tian Gan could finish his sentence, Fan Yicheng felt like he was struck by lightning, and he immediately interrupted him.

"Positive... Exactly. Zhong Li knew that she had sinned far too much and was unable to face this, so she did not dare bring up this matter with General Fan and ended up being shot at to death. When she was at the end of her life, she repeatedly asked Tian Gan to apologize to General Fan. Please forgive me, General! " After Tian Gan had finished speaking, he immediately kowtowed and didn't get up.

Fan Yuzhen would never have thought that Tian Gan would tell him the truth. The kind and gentle Chong Li was actually such a cold-blooded killer. Before this, he had been determined to take revenge for Han Fei's death. However, he had never imagined that his enemy would stand by his side the entire time. His mind was in a mess, and he wasn't sure what to do.

After a long while, he looked at Tian Gan, who was still kneeling on the ground, and his heart also felt pain and grief. He let out a long sigh, but in the end, he still shook his head and said: "Forget it, this is probably heaven's will. Brother Tian Gan, you can get up. "

"Great General, do you mean that you can forgive the sins of Li?" Tian Gan raised his head and asked after hearing what Fan Yuzhen had said.

"If one is not a saint, how can one not be virtuous? I believe that Brother Han Fei from the underworld will also understand the unspeakable nature of Miss Chong Li. This old man will forgive her. " Fan Yuzhen slowly supported Tian Gan who was kneeling on the ground, and spoke sincerely and slowly.

"Thank you for forgiving me, General. I, Tian Gan, thank you on behalf of the Li family!" Seeing that Fan Yuzhen had finally forgiven him for killing Han Fei, Tian Gan was moved, and thanked him directly.

"Alright, Brother Tian Gan. Since today you've already fulfilled Miss Chong Li's wish, you should let go of the pain in your heart and retreat to the Nine Mystical Palace together with us. When the time is ripe, we'll find a chance to kill Master Tian and avenge Miss Chong Li's death!" Fan Yuzhen said to Tian Gan in a sincere tone, his hands tightly clenched around Tian Gan's cupped fist.

"Yes, General." Tian Gan could clearly feel Fan Yicheng's trust and expectations for him from his words and the palm of his hand. Even though he had hidden Zhong Li's true identity from him for so long, he was still able to gain Fan Yicheng's understanding and trust. While his heart was filled with gratitude and encouragement, he also secretly vowed to himself that he would definitely avenge the death of Zhong Li due to the hidden arrow in the sea of blood.

"Great General, the Qin soldiers have already learned of our plan to retreat. We are already on our way to catching up. We need to hurry and enter the Nine Precious Mountain Range so we can avoid the main forces of the Qin army." After Tian Gan swore to himself, he regained his senses and immediately explained the military emergency to Fan Yuzheng.

"Oh? I never thought that the Qin would arrive so quickly. I will order the entire army to move forward at top speed! " When Fan Yuzheng learned of this news, he was also extremely anxious. He immediately notified the official in charge, "Send the order that the frontline, centre, and rear armies must accelerate their march and escort the common people directly from the dragon's mouth into the nine barbarians!"

"Yes!" The herald took the signal from Fan Yicheng and ran down the front, center and rear lines.

At the same time, Pan and his supporters, who had gained nothing in the battle of the Cloud Dragon's Mouth, had already retreated from the valley, and in the middle of their retreat, they encountered the great army that had come chasing after them, led by Huan Huan and Sima Kong.

That Huan Feng rode alone on his warhorse, clad in armor and looking like a commander. How awe-inspiring! However, when he suddenly met with the Pan Clan and their nurturing sons, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. He asked the two of them, "Why did the two generals turn back halfway?"

The foster son originally wanted to explain this matter, but Pan was already dissatisfied with the raising of the traitor, so he made use of this opportunity to report to Huan Feng, "General, I was ordered to chase down Fan Yuzheng's group of traitors, and was intercepted by the traitors. I fought to the death, and I could have taken down the leader of the traitors, but who would have thought that the general would have such good intentions towards the traitor, and actually set him free." As Pan said this, he deliberately cast a sidelong glance at his foster son to signal Huan Huan to return the favor.

"Oh? "There's actually such a thing?" Huan Ling looked at the expression in Pan's eyes and knew what was going on, but he still pretended to be confused. "The general is called General Ma, and the Great Sima has put in a lot of effort to help the Qin, so he definitely won't have any thoughts of taking advantage of the traitors. I presume that there's a misunderstanding here, isn't it, Great Sima?" After Huan Feng finished speaking, he deliberately asked this question to Sima Kong.

Sima Kong was a clever man. When he heard Huan Feng's words, he immediately understood the meaning behind them. He then turned to Fu Yizi and asked, "Take care of the servant. Tell me and the general what happened to her."

Upon hearing Sima Kong's words, the servant replied, "My lord, I was following your orders to go to the Cloud Dragon Cave and intercept the troops. Unexpectedly, I met two powerful martial artists and had a fierce fight with them. One of them was a devil lady who could turn a person into ashes in an instant, and the other was the head disciple of the Mo family. While the two of them were in the midst of fighting, General Pan released an arrow from the darkness in an attempt to sneak attack the Mo family disciple. However, when the arrows hit the woman who had blocked the arrows for the Mo family disciples, she was poisoned to death. Because of this, the head disciple of the Mo family was too sad and could not fight anymore. The last thing he wanted to do was to take advantage of someone's situation and win, so he made an agreement with the Mo family disciple that they would fight again one day. However, General Pan believed that he had lost the great merit of ambushing others and did not dare to directly challenge them. That was why he kept chattering nonstop.
