Chapter 56 Fishing in Muddy Water 10

The army of the State of Zhao pressed the border, and the city of Shiyi was naturally tense. The whole city has implemented military control and the whole city is preparing for war.

After Ji Xin hurriedly arranged the city defense, he urgently summoned a pre-military meeting in the city guard to discuss how to meet the enemy.

Because of the busy military affairs, Ji Xin became the last person to arrive at the meeting. I hurried to the venue and saw that the eyes of everyone looking at me were a little different from the past, but I didn't have time to think too much. I just sat down and said, "I'm afraid everyone knows what's going on today, and I won't bother."

"Nowadays, in the face of the national disaster, it is precisely that we need to unite up and down to fight against the enemy. The so-called crowd collects firewood and the flames are high, and everyone is working together. If you have any good ideas, please tell them. No matter what he says today, he is innocent.

The voice fell for a long time, but no one spoke. The scene was a little embarrassing for a moment. Ji Xin looked around and looked a little ugly, so he had to say in a low voice, "Since everyone doesn't want to speak, I'll talk about me first."

"Now the Zhao army is coming from afar. Although the cavalry is powerful, they are not good at attacking the city. I think Zhao Yong's showing off his force this time is more than practical use, or he has no intention to take Shiyi at all. Otherwise, why is he so unwise that he only brings cavalry to attack me? Even if his cavalry is powerful, he can't think that he can beat Shiyi by relying on the cavalry.

As soon as the words fell, I heard a strange humming voice from the seat, "What General Ji said is biased. Is it possible that Zhao Yong stirs up the public, but just to show off his force in our city? Don't you think this reason is ridiculous? I don't know if others will do this, but who is Zhao Yong? I'm afraid everyone here doesn't know. Do you think he may make such a low-level mistake?

Ji Xin stared at Nie Gai and couldn't figure out why he escaped abnormally and directly provoked his authority. At that moment, he sneered and said, "In your opinion, what is Zhao Yong's intention to do this?"

Nie Gai snorted coldly and said coldly, "What did Zhao Yong think? I don't think anyone knows better than the general. Why do you have to ask knowingly?"

Ji Xin was stunned and immediately understood the meaning of Nie Gai's words. Suddenly angry, Huo got up, stared at Nie Gai angrily and roared, "What do you mean? Is it possible to suspect that I have collusion with Zhao Yong?"

Nie Gai sneered and said, "Is there anyone in your heart that you don't know? I don't believe there will be such a coincidence. A few days ago, it was rumored in the city that you were going to sacrifice the city to Zhao. Now Zhao Yong has taken the army to the city, but he is not prepared to attack the city. Don't you think all this is too coincidental?"

Ji Xin suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "No matter how you frame him, I, Ji Xin, am right and not afraid of gossip. Being open and aboveboard, when have you little people been afraid of being slandered?

"Little man? The villain is also better than selling the country for glory and betraying your ancestors.

Speaking of this, Nie Gai suddenly picked up the cup and smashed it on the ground. There was a sound of sword fighting and screams outside the hall. Then hundreds of knives and armored men poured in, and the blades were facing each other and surrounded the crowd. Several generals quickly broke away from Ji Xin and stood beside Nie Gai, obviously his followers.

Ji Xin's face was gloomy, and there was a bit of murder in his eyes. He said harshly, "Good, you Nie Gai, your wolf ambition finally can't stand it. Do you want to mutiny and seize power today?"

Nie Gai has been swallowing his anger for the past two years. He looked up to Ji Xin's nose for a living. Today, he was finally able to turn over, and his heart was extremely happy. I couldn't help laughing and said, "What's the matter, Ji Xin, do you know what it's like to go?" In the relationship between you and me who have been working together for many years, as long as you give up your hand, I will spare you not to die today.

Ji Xin was still sneering. Instead of being afraid, there was a little smile on the corners of his mouth.

"Nye Gai, Nie Gai, you think you are smart, but you are stupid. Do you think you can deal with me with such a little cleverness? Let me tell you, Shiyi is the territory I have been operating for more than ten years. Any wind and grass on this interface can't be hidden from my eyes and ears. You bribed my personal guard and hid the armor outside the hall. Do you think I will know nothing about it? You underestimate my Ji Xin!"

Seeing that Ji Xin's face was fixed, it didn't seem to be a lie. He suddenly "clucked" in his heart and shouted secretly. He quickly ordered, "Do it."

Before he could start, nearly a thousand halberds had rushed in outside the hall. It was Ji Xin's fierce general drama cloth who led the team. These Jiashi fought with his dead men. In less than a moment, they killed all the dead men. Instead, they surrounded Nie Gai and several people, but did not attack immediately.

Ji Xin looked pale and said with a smile, "How about Nie Gai? Now it's up to say that if you give up your arms and surrender, I can still spare your life for the sake of years of old love. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to keep the whole body under the halberd.

The drama cloth beside him raised the big knife and walked forward with a ferocious smile and said, "General, why do you have to talk too much with such a villain? Wait for me to cut off his dog's head."

Nie Gai was embarrassed. Seeing that the general trend had gone, he couldn't help looking panicked. Suddenly, he thought of something. He quickly took out the king's edict given to him by Zhao Xin from his arms and raised it high and said loudly, "I have the king's edict in hand."

"At the order of the king, Ji Xin colluded with the Zhao people to plot a rebellion, and everyone was killed. If you don't act according to your orders, you will conspire against each other and destroy the family."

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. Even the drama cloth stopped, and the knife in his hand slowly put down. Looking at Ji Xin, his face was a little hesitant.

Nie Gai took the opportunity to say loudly, "Lieutenant of the drama, Ji Xin plotted a rebellion. I was ordered by the king to kill him. If you are willing to fight back, I will not only not pursue your responsibility, but also ask the king for credit for you. If you persist and still associate with the traitors, the king will inevitably avoid the disaster of extermination in the future.

Ji Xin's face changed greatly. When he saw the drama cloth's face hesitating, he said in a hurry: "A group of nonsense, when did you come to Wang Zhao, you must be pretentious. Don't listen to his nonsense. You have been under my command for many years. Don't you know who I am?"

This sentence really worked. The drama cloth raised the knife again and looked at Nie Gai again, with fierce eyes.

Nie Gai held the edict high and said urgently, "What I said is absolutely true, and there is no falsehood. What I have in my hand is the king's handwritten edict, which is evidenced by the seal."

Ji Xin said loudly, "Bullshit, you must be a forged edict. You keep saying that the king gave it to you, can someone prove it?"

"Yes." Nie Gai hurriedly pointed to Zhao Xin and said to him loudly, "Yi Xian's nephew, tell everyone quickly that you gave me the imperial edict, and it was ordered by the king and Lord Xiangbang."

The hall was extremely quiet, and everyone's eyes looked at Zhao Xin, or what they thought was easy to move, although some people's hearts were in their throats.

Zhao Xin touched his jaw, but said with a wry smile, "General Nie, this joke is so big. I haven't even seen this so-called edict. Why did you give it to you? I have no grudge against you in the past. I have asked myself that I have not offended you. Why do you always want to pull me into the water before you die?

After listening to Zhao Xin's words, Nie Gai only felt that his hands and feet were cold. A burst of dizziness came, and he finally settled his body. He looked at Zhao Xin's terrible face and roared sadly, "Yi Qian, why did you hurt me? Why did you hurt me? I'm going to smash you to pieces!"

After saying that, he waved his sword and rushed to Zhao Xin. Ji Xin, who had been waiting impatiently, turned pale and roared in a low voice; "Do it."

With a wave of the big knife, more than a thousand armored warriors shouted forward, and immediately stabbed Nie Gai with a cold heart, and his body was set in the air. After struggling a few times, he finally stared and breathed unwillingly.

Seeing that Nie Gai was dead, Ji Xin was relieved and turned to look at Zhao Xin. His eyes were full of hostility, and he slowly lowered his voice; "Yi Qian, I think you owe me an explanation. Don't tell me that you were wronged by him. You and I are all smart people, so don't beat around the bush.

Zhao Xin raised his eyebrows, with a faint smile on his face and did not change his face; "What kind of explanation does the general want me to give you?"

Ji Xin's face was uncertain, and he stared at Zhao Xin tightly and said, "Tell me, who are you?"

Zhao Xin laughed and saw that Ji Xin had begun to doubt his identity. He simply said bluntly, "Since General Ji wants to hear the truth, I will tell him. I'm not Yiqian, but Zhao Xin, a lieutenant of the Yulin Military Academy under the command of my master. Is General Ji satisfied with this answer?

Ji Xin didn't expect Zhao Xin to say his identity so frankly. He couldn't help but be stunned. He immediately lowered his face and said with a little anger in his voice. "So Nie Gai's matter was completely instigated by you. You want us to make chaos internally so that you can make an opportunity for Zhao, right?"

Zhao Xin smiled and smiled with his hands on his hand: "Yes, it's not right. It's half of you."

Ji Xin saw that Zhao Xin looked fearless, and the murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes. Huo Ran drew his sword and looked at each other angrily.

"Zhao Xin, you are so bold. Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
