Chapter 52 Fishing in Muddy Water 6

Zhao Xin bowed slightly and said in a low voice, "The humble position is Yiqian of the general of the guard barracks, and the humble father is Yiqian, the son of Dr. Zuo Yiyi. General, you have been to my house as a guest. In terms of generation, I called you uncle at that time. I haven't seen him for several years now, but the general's demeanor is still the same, and he recognized him at a glance.

Ji Xin was stunned. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that Dr. Zuo Yiqian's family seemed to have a teenager. Now after so many years, he is about the same age, but he is not impressed. Moreover, Yi Qian is a teenager, and his growth and appearance will vary greatly in the past few years. How can he still remember it?

Thinking of this, Xin was calm, but he just laughed and said, "It turned out to be Yi Xian's nephew, but my uncle, I was so dizzy that I didn't recognize you. I haven't seen Dr. Yi for many years, and I miss her a little. I heard that your mother has been in bed for several years. I don't know if she is better now?

Zhao Xin arched his hand and thanked him; "General Lao died. My father is fine, but my mother passed away as early as 12 years ago. Where did he lie in bed? General, are you wrong?"

Ji Xin's heart was wide, but his face was full of apologies. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Look at my memory. I forgot this and that when I was old. I'm really sorry."

Zhao's confidence secretly shouted that it was dangerous. Fortunately, Zhang Xin was so careful that he pried out a lot of things from the regular goods in case of emergency. This time, he just used it. He said modestly, "The general is busy with military affairs. Naturally, he won't remember these little things. Why do you blame yourself?"

Ji Xin laughed and saw that this boy was sensibility. He knew that he was trying, but he gave himself a step down with his own words, and he couldn't help but have a slight good impression on him.

Seeing that there were many people and mixed eyes, he waved his hand to let the sergeants around him retreat, leaving only a few of them, and asked with a little surprise: "Why did Yi Xian's nephew suddenly appear in Shiyi and still entangled with Zhao Jun?"

After saying that, Ji Xin stared at Zhao Xin's expression tightly for fear of missing any change in his expression.

Zhao Xin's face stagnated, and there was a trace of sadness and indignation in his eyes. He said angrily, "General, you don't know anything. I followed General Guji in the name of the king to escort the grain and grass from Lingshou to Danqiu Pass, but I met Zhao Gou's cavalry on the way. Under a scuffle, our army was defeated. General Drum died in the battle, the brothers died in the battle, and the prisoners were captured. I escaped with my ability and was chased all the way by Zhao Gou. Then I came to defect.

Saying this, Zhao Xin's voice was a little choked. Suddenly, he knelt down and cried sadly. "A whole five hundred and twenty brothers died under Zhao Gou's sword. Please have mercy on the general. Lend me a thousand cavalry. I will definitely kill these dog thieves to avenge my brother."

Ji Xin saw that his expression was not pretentious, his face was full of sadness and indignation, and his body was also covered with blood, so he believed it all. He hurriedly came forward to help Zhao Xin up, and his voice also said sadly, "Yi Xian's nephew, please rest assured that Zhao Gou owes us Zhongshan people. Sooner or later, I will pay them back one by one, and the blood of the brothers will never be in vain."

Speaking here, Ji Xin paused and sighed; "It's just that the number of soldiers in Shiyi is only 16,000, and there are less than a thousand cavalry. If you go out of the city to fight against the ambush of the Zhao army, I'm afraid..."

Ji Xin stopped talking and just looked at Zhao Xin, but the meaning was self-evident. Zhao Xin said sadly, "Please believe in the humble position. The humble position will not live up to your trust. If I can't win, I will apologize with my head."

Ji Xin shook his head, his face was depressed, and he sighed, "Nephew, this is not a matter of trust and distrust. It's just that as a military general and a city guard, everything should be put the overall situation first, and you can't be angry. Now that our Zhongshan is in danger, the army of the State of Zhao is coming day and night. Only by guarding Shiyi can we choke the throat of Zhao Jun's northward advance and keep our luck in Zhongshan!"

" Since you are a Zhongshan prison guard officer, you should know the general situation and know that things are priorities. Compared with the fate of Zhongshan, what is our life and death?"

Speaking of Ji Xin's awe-inspiring face and resolute, even Zhao Xin couldn't help admiring him secretly.

On the surface, he still pretended to be struggling and hesitant. "painful" for a long time, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I listen to you, General. I wrote down the blood debt first. At night, I will repay Zhao Gou ten times and a hundred times. If I violate this oath, I will not be a human!"

As soon as the words fell, Ji Xin couldn't help clapping his hands and applauded, "Okay, good ambition, so heroic, this is my good man in Zhongshan."

He patted Zhao Xin on the shoulder heavily and said in a low voice, "My virtuous nephew might as well have a good rest today. Now it doesn't make sense for you to return to Lingshou. Why don't you stay in Mayi to help me kill Zhao Gou? There are a thousand cavalry under my command, each of whom is a good son of Zhongshan. There is a lack of a cavalry general. How about you take responsibility first?

Zhao was happy in his confidence, but he was moved by the appearance of tears: "General Xie took him in, and the humble position will definitely live up to your trust."

Ji Xin smiled and patted him on the shoulder. His face was quite emotional. He suddenly remembered something and pointed to the thin middle-aged man next to him and introduced him. "I forgot to introduce you. This is the deputy general of this Shiyi Army, General Nie Gai. It can be counted as your father's peer and your uncle. . "

Zhao's confidence thought it was really him, and he quickly bowed and said, "See General Nie at the humble position."

"Don't be polite." Nie Gai helped him up with a smile and looked at Ji Xin. "Anyway, there is nothing to do. How about I send Yi Xian's nephew to the guest house to rest? It should also be the best of the landlord, so as not to be laughed at us that Shiyi doesn't know how to treat guests.

Zhao Xin heard the sarcasm implied in Nie Gai's words and smiled in his heart, thinking that the two were really not the same. No wonder Sima Xi wanted to kill Ji Xin with his hand. He thought he knew this. Just looking at Ji Xin's conversation with him, Nie Gai actually shut up without saying a word, and his dissatisfaction was unconcealed.

Ji Xin didn't seem to notice Nie Gai's dissatisfaction, but nodded with a smile, "That's for your help."

......

"My nephew is really good. I'm afraid none of my peers in Zhongshan can match it."

Slowly walking on Shiyi Street, the two of them were gossiping one after another. Nie Gai was quite interested in Zhao Xin's skills.

Zhao's confidence is ashamed, and his heart is "unmatched", which only shows that your level is too low, and people like yourself are everywhere in the Zhao army. However, in the past few months, I have been practicing archery and equestrian, and I have made rapid progress. After all, the most important thing in archery is to calm my mind. The most important thing in equestrian is to be light and healthy, and these two points are Zhao Xin's best at the seven yin charms.

As for the amazing archery just performed under the city, it was nothing more than a scene that Zhang Xin and others cooperated with themselves. They only needed to pretend to shoot randomly, and they consciously screamed and fell off the horse.

"The general praised that Shang Qian is only good at carving insects. Those who really do great things should lead thousands of troops and horses to gallop around the battlefield like General and General Ji. This is the life that men should yearn for."

Nie Gai XX laughed and said, "You are ambitious, but it's okay. Young people, after all, you have to have some lofty ambitions."

After chatting casually for a while, Zhao Xin suddenly stopped and looked back at him puzzledly. Zhao Xin scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "General, I haven't eaten for most of the day. Can I go first to have a full meal?"

Nie Gai's face showed a trace of impatience. The reason why he was willing to send Zhao Xin was not that he wanted to be close to this Yiqian, but that he wanted to find an excuse to stay far away from Ji Xin. You should know that although he is a deputy general, he listens to Ji Xin's orders everywhere in the city and has no right to autonomy. Ji Xin is indeed a soldier, but one of the biggest problems is strength! Too strong! It is undoubtedly the most thankless thing to be a deputy under him. He will never discuss anything with you, and everything is decided by himself. When meeting such a person, XX's depression and resentment are also inevitable.

Nie Gai's face was still full of smiles and said with a smile, "So it is. This is my negligence, which wronged my nephew. The wine shop on this street has been closed for a long time. Otherwise, you can go to my humble house with me. How about I ask my family to prepare some wine and dishes for my nephew?

Zhao Xin apologized and said, "It's so nagging."
