Volume 1 Chapter 139 Brothers Meet

A spear pierced through the abdomen, and blood was still flowing out.

If the eagle was not so strong and energetic, it would have collapsed and fallen.

It is rare to be able to soar in the air for such a long time.

But no matter how strong it is, it will eventually run out of strength. Adding that it has to bear Jiang Yue's weight, it becomes even more uncomfortable.

The next moment, the eagle could no longer hold on. It folded its wings slightly and fell rapidly from the air headfirst.

This scared Jiang Yue to death. He thought he would not be able to survive if he fell down. It didn’t matter if the eagle died, but he must not die.

He quickly steadied his body in the air, looked up, and found that the eagle had its eyes closed. He didn't know whether it was unconscious or dead.

Jiang Yue's heart tightened and all the pores on his body stood up. He had no other choice but to let himself slowly fall to the ground.

His body was completely frozen and unable to move. Otherwise, before he died, he would definitely try to wake the eagle up by punching it continuously.

The ground was getting closer, and Jiang Yue fell at such a high speed that he couldn't hold on any longer and fainted the next moment.

South of the Great Sun Dynasty, Jiang Fei led an army of 300,000 and marched all the way. Due to Xiang Yun's foresight, all the official roads leading to the southern border had been repaired, so the army moved very quickly.

From the beginning to the end, Jiang Fei, the Marshal of the Southern Expedition, had been riding on a warhorse, holding a gun and walking at the front of the army to lead the way!

Jiang Fei always believed that what matters in war is bravery. If your commander is extremely brave, then the soldiers under your command will also be stronger than others. In this way, you will win every battle.

Today, Jiang Fei was traveling ahead as usual, when he suddenly felt something in his heart. He looked up to the sky and saw a huge black shadow falling from the sky.

Jiang Fei's eyes narrowed, and when he saw clearly what was falling from the sky, he was horrified. He quickly tore off the big red cloak from his shoulders, then flew into the air from his warhorse and flew towards the falling object.

The ones falling from the sky were none other than the unconscious eagle and Jiang Yue.

Fate is such a wonderful thing, we met by chance.

In mid-air, Jiang Fei waved his bright red battle robe, and it immediately moved without wind, transforming into a stream line that went straight towards Jiang Yue who was falling at a very fast speed.

Then the battle robe wrapped Jiang Yue little by little, and then Jiang Fei pulled hard in the air, and Jiang Yue was dragged into his arms and hugged tightly, and he landed on the ground at this time.

The huge eagle nearby was not so lucky. It fell directly to the ground and was smashed to pieces. Its bones were broken and a large amount of blood flowed out of its mouth. It was obvious that it was dead.

At night, 300,000 troops camped in the wild. In a tent, Jiang Yue slowly opened his eyes, and a sentence echoed in his mind: "I'm still alive? Where am I?"

But the first thing he saw was Jiang Fei's anxious and concerned face and his red eyes, which made Jiang Yue stunned.

The next moment, Jiang Fei stepped forward and hugged Jiang Yue into his arms, rocking him continuously, then said excitedly: "Brother, it's great to see you again. Do you know how much I missed you!"

Jiang Yue felt very uncomfortable being shaken by him, but he forced himself to hold back and said in an unbelievable tone: "Xiao Fei, brother, are you dreaming? Is this really you?"

Jiang Fei quickly let him go and shouted excitedly: "Brother, it's really me, look!"

Having said that, Jiang Fei quickly slapped himself twice in front of Jiang Yue to show them that they were not dreaming.

"Brother, you are so powerful that you actually fell from the sky. A giant eagle also fell with it, and there was a long spear stuck in the eagle. Did you shoot it down, brother?"

Jiang Fei said to himself, "I thought I was already very powerful after learning martial arts, and I had no rivals from then on. I could defeat Big Brother with one hand, and I wanted to humiliate you!

I didn't expect that my elder brother is even better than me now. He can fly high into the sky and shoot giant eagles. I envy him so much for his skills. I wonder when I can fly up to the sky and shoot down a giant eagle too!"

Jiang Yue then remembered what happened before he fainted, and asked quickly, "Where is the vicious eagle?"

Jiang Fei scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Brother, I am leading the army to attack the Black Witch Kingdom. My soldiers are very jealous... After the giant eagle fell from a high altitude, it was broken all over and died, so my brother decided to let the soldiers pluck its feathers and stew it!"

Jiang Fei was afraid that Jiang Yue would be angry, so he quickly said, "But don't worry, big brother. I specially asked someone to leave a thigh for the two of us brothers, and it will be delivered to us later!"

Jiang Yue's mind had been in a daze the whole time. He had not actually heard much of what Jiang Fei said. Now that he had sorted out his thoughts, his expression couldn't help but darken.

Thinking back to what happened last night, when he was carried high into the sky by the eagle, he saw from the sky the countless bandits who had surrounded his troops!

This was a siege that had been planned long ago. Even if they stayed, the soldiers would have no chance of survival.

I don't know how much time has passed now, I'm afraid none of my subordinates have survived...

Once again failing to live up to His Majesty's high hopes, Jiang Yue felt as if his heart was being stabbed by a knife and was extremely uncomfortable.

Being a defeated general, I am still living here in disgrace. I am not a real man.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue held Jiang Fei's shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Kneel down, I want to tell you something!"

Jiang Fei was completely dumbfounded. He quickly stepped back and said in a weird voice, "Brother, please stop kidding me. I am now the Marshal of the Southern Expedition, commanding an army of 300,000. How can I kneel down to you? Besides, a man's knees are made of gold..."

"Kneel down!" Without waiting for Jiang Fei to finish his words, Jiang Yue slapped the table beside him and shouted angrily.

Jiang Fei was so frightened that he immediately stopped smiling and knelt down in front of Jiang Yue with a plop, not daring to say another word.

In the past, he was playful and frivolous at home, which often made his parents anxious and worried.

His elder brother Jiang Yue has been smart and sensible since he was young, and he understands the big picture and has always made his parents feel at ease.

Therefore, there has always been an unwritten rule in their family since childhood, that is, all matters big or small must be obeyed by Jiang Yue.

Even their father has always trusted Jiang Yue and has not interfered in anything.

Therefore, Jiang Fei has been very afraid of his brother since he was a child. Now that he is away from home, his elder brother is like an elder father to him. Jiang Fei dare not refute his elder brother's words and obeys everything he says.

Now, kneeling down when scolded is out of habit.

Seeing Jiang Fei kneeling down obediently, Jiang Yue's expression eased a little. His expression became extremely solemn, and he said to him in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, why didn't you return to the barracks immediately after the victory, but went straight into the heart of the Sand Barbarians and put yourself in danger!"

"My parents asked me to take good care of you while we were away. When you did this, did you consider your elder brother and your parents who are far away in the capital?"

Jiang Fei said a little aggrievedly: "Brother, don't I just want to avenge you?

At that time, you were seriously injured and unconscious, and you were about to die. How could I care less? When I saw Ya Yuan, I couldn't help but chase him!

Big brother, I chopped off Ya Yuan's head to avenge you!"

Then Jiang Fei changed his words and said softly: "Besides, I am not in trouble, am I?"

Jiang Yue angrily cursed: "In the military, swords have no eyes, there is no such thing as a general who always wins!

Do you know that this time, Big Brother was ordered to suppress the bandits. The Emperor gave Big Brother 100,000 troops, but now Big Brother is the only one left... Do you understand what Big Brother means when he says this to you?"

Jiang Fei couldn't help but stand up from the ground after hearing this, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother, do you want to..."

"That's right!" Jiang Yue nodded and said in a deep voice: "How can a defeated general survive alone?"

"Brother, you will set off today to return to the capital to meet His Majesty. You will be sentenced to death if you go!

After Big Brother leaves, you must take good care of yourself and never do anything like what happened in the Northern Frontier that went deep into the heart of the enemy!

No matter what danger you encounter, you must protect your own life first, so that you can return to the capital and take good care of our parents for your elder brother. Don't let the two of us become unfilial people, understand?"

"If you want to fulfill your filial duty, go by yourself. I won't go!" Jiang Fei immediately threw his hands away and shouted with red eyes, "Since we will die if we go back, then we won't go back!

Otherwise, if the emperor really dares to kill you after you go back, at worst your brother will lead his troops to rebel against him and seize his throne. I want to see if he dares to touch you!"

"How dare you, you evil creature!" Jiang Yue was furious when he heard that. He kicked Jiang Fei and cursed, "The emperor has been very kind to my brother and me. He not only gave us wealth and honor, but also high positions and generous salaries. He made my parents proud and confident among our relatives, friends, and neighbors. He also gave us a huge mansion so that my parents can enjoy a peaceful life without having to work hard all their lives!"

"My two brothers have shown great kindness to His Majesty, which is beyond our ability to repay. How can you be so ungrateful and want to harm him? If you really do such a thing, don't blame me, your elder brother, for no longer recognizing you as your brother!"

Jiang Yue knew very clearly in his heart that the life his parents were living now was something that ordinary people would never be able to achieve in their entire lives.

Power, status, wealth and position were all bestowed on him by the emperor. Especially after he worked as a groom and a retainer in the Zhen family, he realized even more how valuable these things were.

Jiang Fei was scolded so much that he could not speak. He only heard Jiang Yue say: "Besides, my elder brother has been trusted by His Majesty three times. Once he did nothing and did not contribute anything. Once he returned empty-handed and failed to live up to His Majesty's grace. This third time, he failed to live up to His Majesty's grace even more. This time alone, he killed as many as 70,000 soldiers of the dynasty in vain!

Not to mention that His Majesty will not forgive Big Brother, even Big Brother himself cannot forgive himself!"

Jiang Fei fell silent after hearing this, and Jiang Yue also stopped talking. The atmosphere in the tent became solemn.

After a long while, Jiang Yue said in a deep voice: "That's it. You go out and accompany the soldiers. Big brother wants to be alone and quiet."

Jiang Fei walked out in a daze after hearing that. It was very lively outside the military tent. Soldiers from various units were resting in their respective tents as they had to continue their journey early tomorrow morning.

The generals gathered together to watch the giant eagle meat being grilled. Although the eagle was huge, there was not much meat left after plucking its feathers.
