Chapter 691: Why Are We so Anxious to Fight Each Other? (13)

Zi Lan laughed loudly and raised her head to the sky, "So what if you come? The tens of thousands of standing troops who are desperate under Xiling City are your role models. I am waiting for you."

Zhao Mu was furious, his chest felt tight, and he felt a sweet taste in his throat. He suppressed the blood flow and said, "Okay, okay, you are no longer the Zilan I know. It's a shame that I still think you are the best." He is my friend, a sincere Da Zhao person, and will always think about Da Zhao.”

"Do you still remember the robe I had someone give you when you left? Cut off the robe and break the relationship. From then on, we were no longer friends." Zi Lan said coldly, brushing her sleeves.

Zhao Mu stood up and swept the stool into the fire. There was a loud bang and sparks flew everywhere.

Almost at the same time, the sound of a fierce fight suddenly came from outside. The collision of weapons and the cry of death were clearly transmitted to the house. The expressions of Zhao Mu and Zilan changed drastically at the same time. They took a few steps back and pressed their hands on their waists at the same time. On the hilt of the knife.

"What do you want..." The two of them spoke almost at the same time, but seeing the surprise on each other's faces, they immediately discovered something unusual about this matter.

"Not you?" they both asked in unison.

The same question came to mind twice in a row, and their hearts sank to the bottom. After all, the two had been friends for decades. Just by looking at each other's expressions, one could tell that the fighting outside had nothing to do with the two people here. relation.

"This is the closest to Hefeng." Zhao Mu looked at Zilan with bright eyes.

"The security of Ma'anshan is handled by the Zhengdong Army. All my troops here were killed by you."

"Does the Zhengdong Army want my life? Or our lives? As long as one of us dies, it will be a fight to the death. Zilan, you should know by now that the Zhengdong Army has bad intentions, right?" Zhao Muleng Ran said: "Let's go, follow me, He Feng, you probably can't go back."

Zilan seemed to still be immersed in shock and had not come back to her senses, standing there blankly.

"Follow me. If you don't leave, it will be too late. Can't you hear the movement outside? The shouts of killing are getting closer and closer here. This shows that the opponent's combat effectiveness is far better than our own soldiers. If you don't leave, then leave. No, Zhao Yiyi!" Zhao Mu shouted.

The door opened with a bang, and the person who appeared in front of them was not Zhao Yiang, but a character that neither Zhao Mu nor Zilan had expected. The person who came was Zhao Qi, who should still be trapped in the Zhao army camp under Xiling City. Zhao Qi in.

"Lieutenant Zhao, you want to leave. Please allow me, but Mr. Zilan cannot leave." Zhao Qi stood in front of the gate with his hands behind his hands, a look of pride on his face.

Things went unexpectedly smoothly. With the cooperation of the Zhengdong Army, the hundreds of tiger-looking cavalry who accompanied Zhao Mu killed all of Zilan's guards with almost no effort. Now here, it is completely surrounded.

After staring at the triumphant Zhao Qi for a moment, Zhao Mu suddenly roared angrily. "Zhao Qi, how dare you collude with the Zhengdong Army?"

Zhao Qi's expression changed, "Lieutenant, you may have said it wrong. The people who colluded with the Zhengdong Army are standing in front of you and chatting happily with you. The troops under my command fought several battles with the Zhengdong Army. , This is something that countless soldiers can testify to. How do you say that I colluded with the Eastern Expedition Army? Moreover, the person in front of you is the person the king has designated to kill, but you are meeting him in private. Don’t you have much respect for the king? Captain Zhao, you are our great captain. I don’t care about this matter. You can go and leave this place to us.”

Zhao Mu snorted coldly, pulled out his sword with a choking sound, and dragged Zilan back with his backhand, "Follow me, I want to see which of the Zhao soldiers dares to stand in front of me, Zhao Mu. "

"Really?" Zhao Qi laughed, "Lieutenant Zhao, do you think you are the king of Zhao?" With a wave of his hand, a dozen soldiers flashed out from behind, holding powerful crossbows in their hands, and the blue arrows showed no trace of light. He pointed at the two men hesitantly.

"Liu Lieutenant Zhao, this arrowhead is quenched with poison that seals the throat with blood. If you scratch the oily skin a little, you will be dead." Zhao Qi took two steps forward slowly, "Liu Lieutenant Zhao, you want to give it a try Do you have prestige in the military?"

Zhao Mu took a deep breath, but did not move forward. Since Zhao Qi was so sure, the person who appeared here was naturally his confidant. Zhao Mu now knew that Zhao Qi had already arrived among Tan Chunhua and Hu Liangjun. And regained the allegiance of the two of them, and the one hundred people he brought, needless to say, were all arranged by Zhao Qi himself.

His eyes followed Zhao Qi's footsteps. He wanted to capture Zhao Qi as a hostage, but Zhao Qi was extremely cunning and always stayed out of his attack range. Zhao Mu knew that he was old and did not have the strength of his youth. He was strong and vigorous, and Zhao Qi was not a weak scholar.

Zhao Qi sneered, took out the memorial written by Zhao Mu to King Zhao from his arms, and threw it to the other party, "Lieutenant Zhao, you know that Zhao Zhuo's death has nothing to do with me, although I really want to kill him." Zi Lan, but I would not be stupid enough to attack Zhao Zhuo in a place like Handan, but you shamelessly put this on my head and made me the scapegoat. It is a pity that this letter fell to In my hands, I am not Zilan, so I will not tolerate it.”

The letter fell to the ground, and Zhao Mu's face turned a little pale, "Where is Zhao Shang?"

"Zhao Shang did such an evil thing as massacre of the city. I let him go the first time. Will I let him go a second time? He died early and was reincarnated early. I sent him on the road. In the next life, I hope he will Be a good person!" Zhao Qi laughed.

He couldn't take Zilan away, but he still didn't let go of Zilan's hand.

At this moment, Zilan thought a lot and thought clearly about a lot of things. Zhao Mu asked him to meet. Very few people knew about it, but the senior generals of the Eastern Expedition Army were not among them. As of Zhao Mu's letter, this conspiracy was already brewing.

Zhao Qi was able to escape from Xiling City without anyone noticing and return to Tan Chunhua and Ji Liang's army to regain control of the army because the Zhengdong Army was playing tricks on them, and Bai Yucheng was responsible for the security of Ma'anshan. Now outside In addition to the people around Zhao Mu, the enemy should have other lurkers, and they must be hidden by the Zhengdong Army. Needless to say, the Zhengdong Army has reached some kind of agreement with Zhao Qi, and Zhao Qi killed them. By killing himself, he had completed his mission in front of King Zhao, and the price he paid, needless to say, was Dai Jun.

He forcefully broke away from Zhao Mu's hand, retreated slowly, walked back to the fire, sat down slowly, looked at the fire that was no longer strong, and suddenly laughed, laughing extremely happily. I had to lean back and forth, laughing until I shed tears.

Zhao Mu turned around and looked at Zilan in shock. The smile on Zhao Qi's face also froze. The two of them looked at Zilan with a look of confusion. After a long while, Zhao Qi said coldly: "Mr. Zilan, he is already on the verge of death. What's the matter? What are you doing?"

Zilan was still smiling and looked at Zhao Mu, "Zhao Mu, you are right. You did not misjudge me. I am indeed not a suitable king. I have always paid attention to persuading people with virtue." , trusting each other, it is never possible to do such a thing. In person, it is as good as a brother, and you can even shed your blood and throw your head for your brother, but the head has just hit the ground and the blood has not turned cold, but the brother is quietly there The knife was pulled out from behind. It’s awesome.”

"Mr. Zilan, you would have been the best to be a prime minister, but over the years, you have never given up. This is your tragedy. You did not lose unjustly. Although Gao Yuan is younger, he is older than you. I don’t know how powerful it is, so you didn’t die in my hands, but in his hands. Don’t bear any grudge against me when you go underground.” He raised his hand, and the soldiers raised their crossbows. The arrow was pointed at Zilan.

Zhao Mu took a step across and stood in front of Zilan, "Zhao Qi, now everyone has understood that the Zhengdong Army wants to plot Daijun. If you kill Zilan, the other party's conspiracy will succeed. Don't you? Do you understand? You are a minister of Zhao State and a nobleman of Zhao State. You have been favored by the country. Don’t you think about the country? "

Zhao Qi smiled coldly, "If Zilan doesn't die, I will die. Lieutenant, do you think I'm confused?"

"I promise, you will not be implicated in this matter in the slightest!" Zhao Mu said loudly, "You can trust me. I have never said an empty word in my life. As long as I make a promise, I will definitely fulfill it."

"I never trust anyone!" Zhao Qi slowly backed away, "That's why I can get to where I am today. And Taiwei, you shouldn't come close to me when you say these words. You are making a promise to me with your mouth and in your heart." But they still want to take me as a hostage. I said, I am not Zilan."

"Zhao Mu, don't bother." Zilan's voice came from behind him. Zhao Mu turned around and was surprised to find that Zilan had drawn out his saber and placed it on his neck. "I am Zilan, and I must have some dignity when I die. , it is impossible to die under random arrows. Tell Zhao Yong and Pan Hong for me that the Eastern Expedition Army can never be trusted. I will not leave you a message. I believe that even if I stay, I will not be able to leave this house with just a few words. . Zhao Qi thinks everything is under his control, but I believe that everything here will only be controlled by the Zhengdong Army. "

There was gentle applause outside the window, "Mr. Zilan hit the mark, you really don't need to leave any tokens or letters. Go in peace, Zhao Yong, we will take good care of you. I dare not say that you will be rich and powerful. But we will definitely promise that the incense of your clan will never be cut off. Taiwei Zhao said that he will keep his promise, which is probably an exaggeration, but our Zhengdong Army will definitely do what we say. "

"Who?" Zhao Mu turned around and roared.

"He is a general of the Eastern Conquest Army. If I remember correctly, his name should be Hengdao." Zilan looked at Zhao Mu, "Brother Zhao, please, get Daijun back for me. Let's be brothers in the next life. , If you don’t want to be brothers for the rest of your life, just be the most ordinary country brothers.”

"No!" Zhao Mu stretched out his hand, but froze in mid-air. The knife in Zilan's hand was strangled across his neck, and blood spurted out. The already dim flames in front of him suddenly burst into flames at this moment.

Zhao Mu opened his mouth and a large mouthful of blood spurted out, and he immediately fell to the ground softly.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Qi's hands and feet were cold. After a long while, he said: "Come here, take care of the Taiwei and take Zilan's body away. Let's go." (To be continued...) ()
