Knife in the Snow: Why did Xiao Xu kill Jian Yao and Ye Xizhen?

Xiao Xu, the king of Northern Liang Dynasty, has six adopted sons, called "one tiger, two bears and three dogs". The first tiger is the villain Chen Zhibao, the second bear is Yuan Zuozong and Ye Xizhen, and the third dog is Chu Lushan, Eagle Dog, Qi Dangguo and Jian Yao.

Ye Xikun and Jian Yao are not only Xiao Xu's adopted sons, but also Xiao Xu's chief strategist, Jiang Zuo's first disciple Zhao Changling and Chen Zhibao's staunch supporters.

Ye Xizhen, who has the reputation of "Xiao Zhao Changling", is good at intrigue, open-minded and ingenious behind the scenes, which is just the opposite of Lu who likes intrigue. The secret service of Beiliang, Ye Xizhen and Chu Lushan are in charge of each other. Before his death, Zhao Changling had always been optimistic about Chen Zhibao, thinking that as long as he mastered the Beiliang fighters, he could unify the Spring and Autumn Period, eat the northern mang, and even become a king with abundant talents and superior ability. As a disciple of Zhao Changling, Ye Xizhen is convinced and has always been helpful to the dragon.

Jian Yao, a master of clearing the sac in Beiliang, is a master of Feng Shui who is familiar with folk customs and is good at finding dragons in clearing the sac. Born by the door, he is good at looking for dragons and sand. He always carries with him a torn-up "Clear the Capsule Sutra". He likes to squat on the ground and chew the soil when he is free. Huang Longshi once said that "white clothes cut the python dragon". Jian Yao, who has been single-minded since childhood, wants to be a Buddhist like Beimang Qilin and has the ambition to continue to burn incense for the orthodox world. He is convinced of this statement.

Ye Xizhen and Jian Yao, in order to let Chen Zhibao master Beiliang fighters, inherit Beiliang throne, and then win the world, realized their great wish to help dragon heroes. When Xu Fengnian went to Beimang alone, he spent 500 Jin of gold and hired Xue Songguan, a blind female pianist who ranked fifth among the top ten demons in Beimang, to kill Xu Fengnian.

On the killer list, Xue Songguan, a blind female pianist tied for third place with Hehe girl, is a master of the mysterious realm and never breaks her word when she takes money to kill people. However, Chulushan also offered 500 Jin of gold for her to touch. Xue Songguan killed first and then saved, and Xu Fengnian was able to live.

The CIA is too smart to miss two lives. Xiao Xu know, give Ye Xizhen and Jian Yao wine to drink dead. If Chen Zhibao knew that they hired and murdered Xu Fengnian for their own sake, with Chen Zhibao's character, he would definitely stop them and would never agree with their willfulness. It is estimated that their intention to help the dragon is over.

Among Xiao Xu's six semes, Ye Xizhen is the most confused and pedantic. Jian Yao's mind is the most miscellaneous, but he is very talented. Before their lives, both of them were highly respected because of their love and strategizing with literati, but because of their friendship with the young vassal king Xu Fengnian, they both served as the secretariat of a country.
