Chapter 692: Provocation! [2]

"Presumptuous!"

Zhu Jun, on the east bank of the Xunshui River, dismounted and shouted sternly at Qu Yi on the opposite bank.

"What are you doing? Shooting an official of the imperial court? Don't say you are just Duan Yu's subordinate; even if you were Duan Yu himself, you would still be imprisoned for a crime!"

Zhu Jun, pressing his hand on the hilt of his sword, walked down to the riverbank and looked at Sun Jian: "Bring Bo Cai's head over. I want to see who dares to be presumptuous."

"I am the Right General of the Household. I want to see who dares to run wild!"

Gao Shun, standing in the river beside Qu Yi, reached out and pressed down on the crossbow in Qu Yi's hand, saying softly: "Yigong, don't be impulsive."

At this moment, Cao Cao, standing on the west bank of the river, also hurriedly dismounted and came to Qu Yi's side.

"General Qu, you must not be impulsive. This person is the Right General of the Household, Zhu Jun, and the one over there is the Left General of the Household, Huangfu Song. If you shoot and kill Sun Jian now, even if we are in the right, we will be in the wrong," Cao Cao said in a low voice.

Qu Yi looked at Cheng Pu, who was holding Bo Cai's head, with extremely unwilling eyes.

"So we just watch as the credit we obtained is snatched away by them?"

Qu Yi gritted his teeth and said: "We traveled a long distance on this journey, and the Lord told us to wait here specifically to intercept and kill Bo Cai."

"How are we to face the Lord?"

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Ziyi has not returned yet; it is too early to draw conclusions. If one cannot bear small things, one will mess up great plans."

"Everything must wait until Ziyi returns."

"Since Ziyi has already calculated that Bo Cai would be defeated, he should be returning to Yingchuan soon. My opinion is to wait until Ziyi returns before deciding."

Qu Yi looked at Gao Shun beside him.

Gao Shun nodded slightly.

Qu Yi took a deep breath and lowered the heavy crossbow in his hand.

The tense atmosphere around them immediately eased a little.

But Qu Yi's unwilling and angry gaze remained fixed on Sun Jian, who had crossed the river to snatch the credit.

Standing in the river, seeing Qu Yi, Gao Shun, Cao Cao, and the others lowering their weapons, Sun Jian curled the corners of his mouth into a triumphant arc.

This scene looked like a provocation in Qu Yi's eyes.

"Dare you tell me your name!" Qu Yi gritted his teeth and looked at Sun Jian.

"Hmph."

Sun Jian sneered and said: "A real man does not change his name when he walks, nor his surname when he sits. I am Sun Jian of Fuchun, Wu Commandery!"

Qu Yi gritted his teeth and nodded: "Good, I will remember you!"

Qu Yi, having put away his crossbow, ignored Sun Jian.

Bo Cai was dead, and the remaining Huang Jin soldiers were either fleeing, running away, or surrendering.

For a moment, both banks of the Xunshui River returned to peace.

Cao Cao had Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, and others begin to round up the surrendered Huang Jin soldiers. ===== CHAPTER 694 =====
