Chapter 60 Fishing in Muddy Water 14

Zhao Xin, who was rushing out, was shocked when he saw such a large array of Zhao Jun opposite him. He was shocked. He quickly stopped the war horse and dared not move any more, lest he would be accidentally shot by Zhao Jun, who did not understand, which became a big joke.

Fortunately, the master recognized him and ordered him to lift his guard and stand in front of the army with Shi Hu. Zhao Xin was relieved and urged Ma to meet him again.

"Lord." Zhao Xin stopped the horse and shouted happily, and the joy on his face was from the bottom of his heart.

"You boy, you have made such a big thing for me quietly." Zhao Yong smiled and whipped him head-on, and Zhao Xin dodged with a smile.

"Say it, tell me if you have any surprise this time. Don't just be surprised or happy."

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Lord, don't worry, this time it's definitely a joy, and it's a big joy."

Zhao Yong raised his eyebrows, looked happy, and said with a smile, "Really or not, listen to it. I will reward you for good things. If it's a bad thing, you can't escape a whip."

"Ji Xin has followed my advice and promised to surrender."

When Zhao Yong saw Zhao Xin leaving the city alone, he had more or less guessed in his heart. It's just that when he heard Zhao Xin say it himself, he couldn't help showing joy and smiled, "It's really good news. Come on, tell me the details."

Zhao Xin did not hide it, but told his master in detail about the past. When he heard Zhao Xinxin's squeak that Nie Gai listened to his idea and gathered a mutiny, Zhao Yong couldn't help looking at Zhao Xin and thought with a little uneasiness in his heart. At such a young age, he was so cautious and did things without leakage. Even he himself may not be so proficient. If such a person refuses to succumb in the future, it will be troublesome if he has a different heart.

He took another look at Zhao Xin and saw that he was still pale. He continued to talk about his experience of being wise and brave in Shiyi. There was no such a trick. It seemed that a promising son went home to show off his father.

Zhao Yong couldn't help laughing, and the little vigilance that had just risen also dissipated, and he laughed secretly in his heart. After all, Zhao Xin is still a child. No matter how excellent he is, he is a child around him. He has always been close to him. He unconsciously worships and relies on himself, like a father and son. Zhao Yong has read countless people in his life. He has already seen that although Zhao Xin is high-minded, he is extremely affectionate. If he treats him well, he will never do anything harmful to himself.

After returning to Handan, it's better to let Zhao Xin be closer than He Er. The two are about the same age, and they are both smart people. It would be a good thing to become confidants and friends. Zhao Yong thought to himself.

Zhao Xin was still talking eloquently, with his eyebrows fluttering, and he didn't notice what the master was thinking. He just saw his father looking at him with a smile and listening attentively to himself talking about the proud things in the city.

After saying that for a long time, Zhao Xin slamed his dry lips and looked at the wine bag on the father's waist with greedy eyes. The master smiled and took off the wine at his waist and threw it away. Zhao Xin quickly took it and took a big sip.

What is in this wine bag is not ordinary wine, but the famous horse milk wine on the grassland. It has been recorded since ancient times that grassland people are "horse chasing water grass, people look up to Tong cheese". What the master drank was the horse milk wine paid by the king of Linhu. It was carefully made by the Linhu people. It was steamed many times. The wine was mellow and the milk fragrance was overflowing. It was the best quality of the wine. It was difficult for ordinary people to drink, so Zhao Xin took the opportunity to ask his master for it.

He drank half a bag in one breath and looked up to see that the master did not look at him, but was thoughtful. Zhao Xin took a look and quietly put the wine bag into the bag on the saddle.

At this time, Zhao Yong's eyes had been handed over. When he saw Zhao Xin's sneaky appearance, he couldn't help laughing: "Since you like to drink, just go to Han Sheng to get some later. What are you doing secretly?"

Zhao Xin smiled awkwardly and scratched his head to thank him.

Zhao Yong looked at Shi Hu with a smile and said, "Look at this boy. He didn't drink when he first came here. Now he is brought into a little drunkard by you. He even dares to hit my idea. He is really bold."

After laughing, Zhao Yong turned around and said, "So you mean that Ji Xin has persuaded the whole city to surrender to our State of Zhao?"

Zhao Xin nodded quickly and said, "Exactly."

"There are 16,000 Jiashi in the city, and there are 98,000 registered citizens. General Ji is willing to raise the city to surrender Zhao."

Zhao Yong nodded with satisfaction, "You have made a great contribution."

Zhao Xin smiled and joked, "In fact, the biggest meritorious minister is not me, but Sima Xi of Lingshou. If it hadn't been for him for the retrograde and forced Ji Xin to have no way to go, our State of Zhao would not have picked up such a big bargain for nothing. In this way, if you capture him in the future, you should reward him for his achievements.

Zhao Yong just smiled and did not answer. He looked thoughtful, as if he had touched the matter in his heart. He turned to the topic and laughed, "You are both wise and brave this time, and you have made such a great contribution. Come on, what kind of reward do you want? I will satisfy you at the same time.

Zhao Xin's smile gradually faded. He pondered for a while, but bowed his head and said, "Master, I don't want any reward. You let me be the captain of Yulin at a young age. This is already a great reward. I dare not ask for any more official position. I just want a favor from you."

Seeing that he looked different, Zhao Yong said strangely, "Listen, as long as it's not too much, I'm all right."

"My father and uncle are officials in the court and are in a high position. Although I have never been in contact with the court, I also know that the court is sinister and the power is cruel. Although the scenery is infinite now, if I am not careful, I will fall high. My father is a proud person. He has the sternity and arrogance of a scholar in his heart, which may attract people's jealousy. So I want to ask your father for a favor. If my father or uncle commits any serious crime in the future, you can open up.

Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Xin and sighed, "I didn't expect you to be an extremely filial child. Now I'm a little envious of your father Zhao Jian and gave birth to such a good son. Well, I agree with your request. As long as your father and uncle have not committed any serious crime of treason, I will be exempted from punishment. Are you satisfied with this?"

Zhao Xin was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, my father."

Zhao Yong laughed and said, "You don't need to thank me. Thank yourself. This is the grace you have earned by your own efforts."

He looked up at the empty city wall of Shiyi and asked, "Where are the soldiers guarding Shiyi now?"

Zhao Xin said hurriedly, "They are all gathering in the barracks in the city, and Ji Xin is maintaining the situation there. The Zhongshan Army has put down its weapons and is preparing to accept the collection of our Zhao army.

Zhao Yong nodded, "It's done well. You can come with me."

When Zhao Xin saw that the master's father was waving the whip and wanted to leave, he was immediately stunned. He hurriedly stopped the horse in front of the master's horse and said in shock: "Lord, do you want to go in person?"

Zhao Yong raised the rein and looked across. Why not?"

"This..." Zhao Xin choked for a moment and was stunned for a while before saying; "Now that the city is newly surrendered, the army is unstable. It is inevitable that there will be dead soldiers who are loyal to Zhongshan. If you don't have eyes, in case you hurt your father..."

"If the master really wants to enter the city, why don't he send a general to lead the army into the city first, take over the defense in all places and then surrender in the city?"

Shi Hu, who was beside him, also took a step forward and agreed, "Master, you respect your status. Such small things are not easy to take risks. Why don't you let me enter the city first and play for you? It's safer."

Zhao Yong shook his head with a smile and looked at Zhao Xin. "Zhao Xin, let me ask you, do you think Ji Xin is sincere?"

"Full sincerity, no trick." Zhao Xin said confidently.

"That becomes, we thousands of iron riders enter the city together. What are we worried about? Is it possible that I, Zhao Yong, are so vulnerable in your eyes?

"But..." Zhao Xin still hesitated and wanted to dissuade his father from risking.

Zhao Yong smiled and said in a long voice, "There is nothing. Now that Shiyi has newly surrendered, it is the time when people's hearts are unstable. If I want to enter the city with great fanfare, I will definitely be despised by Zhongshan people. If I ride lightly, it is enough to show my great courage. You should know that these people of Zhongshan have long regarded them as the people of my widows.

After saying that, he whipped, and a horse rushed first. Zhao Xin and Shi Hu looked at each other and looked helpless, so they had to catch up with the whip.
