"What, there is such a thing? It's impossible!" As soon as Mi Bao heard Xu Yang's report, a storm suddenly stirred up in his heart.

You should know that Xiang Cheng is an old retainer of the Mi clan. He has served the Mi clan for hundreds of years since Xiang Cheng's ancestors. How could such retainers choose to betray them?

Almost in an instant, Mi Bao locked his eyes on Xu Yang.

It must be the boy Xu Yang who is lying and falsely accusing Xiang Cheng!

Mi Bao's eyes gradually became unkind.

Xu Yang is also a smart person, so how can I tell Mi Bao’s doubts? He immediately said, “City Shou, I am not a false accusation, I have someone to testify!”

"Personal witness?" Mi Bao was stunned when she heard this: "Who?"

"Xiang Zhong!" Xu Yang replied: "It was Xiang Zhong who came to report that I just came to report to Yucheng Shou."

"Xiang Zhong?" Mi Bao was suddenly surprised even more.

Xiang Zhong is Xiang Cheng's nephew and deputy. If Xiang Cheng is Mi Bao's absolute confidant, then Xiang Zhong is Xiang Cheng's absolute confidant.

If it were the matter reported by Xiang Zhong, then this matter... might be true.

Mi Bao waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, then you won't bring Xiang Zhong in!"

A moment later, a Qin army officer about twenty-five years old and with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows walked in and saluted respectfully at Mi Bao: "I have seen the city guard!"

A surprised expression began to appear on Mi Bao's face.

This person is indeed Xiang Zhong.

Mi Bao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Xiang Zhong, do you say that Xiang Cheng plans to offer the city to surrender to Zhao?"

Xiang Zhong nodded and said with a deep pain: "That's right!"

Mi Bao's heart thumped suddenly, and an unparalleled anger suddenly surged out of her body, like a volcano erupting, unable to stop it.

Mi Bao stared at Xiang Zhong fiercely and said in a cold voice: "What's going on? Please tell me quickly!"

Xiang Zhong was obviously frightened by Mi Bao's anger and said hurriedly: "City Guard, this is the case. Xiang Cheng has been hinting openly and secretly in the past few days that I am afraid that this city of Liyang will not be able to be defended, so I have never answered. Until today he quietly told me that he would open the city gate at midnight tonight and present the city to Li Mu. He also said that as long as the city was successfully offered, he would be granted the title of Qing by King Zhao, and I could at least get the title of a noble doctor!"

"This damn dog!" Mi Bao slapped the table hard, his face full of anger.

You must know that Xiang Cheng is a retainer of the Mi clan.

If a retainer is betraying the lord, this is definitely something that no lord can tolerate.

What are retainers? To be honest, the relationship between retainers and lords is not a simple relationship between monarch and ministers, but a relationship of prosperity and prosperity, loss and loss, and sharing life and death.

In the famous "Zhao orphan" incident of the ancestors of Zhao State, Gongsun Chujiu and Cheng Ying, two Zhao retainers, were willing to die just to eliminate Tu'anjia's suspicion, and the other was bearing the traitor's infatuation and enduring humiliation for decades to raise Zhao Wu, the only bloodline of the Zhao family, and eventually revived the Zhao family successfully.

The story of loyalty between these two retainers is the best portrayal of the relationship between retainers and lords.

Although it is now the Warring States Period, when rituals and music are broken and bad, the relationship between the king, the ministers and ministers is actually very important to the world.

With Mi Bao's special status among the Mi clan, Xiang Cheng was sent to assist Mi Bao, which is enough to prove the trust and respect of the Mi clan's retainer Xiang Cheng.

But now, Xiang Cheng actually had a betrayal and wanted to sell both Li Yang and Mi Bao to Li Mu outside the city!

With the relationship between Xiang Cheng and Mi Bao, if someone complains, then Mi Bao will naturally not believe it.

But the problem is that the person who complains about it is Xiang Cheng's nephew, Xiang Zhong, who is also a retainer of the Mi clan, so Mi Bao can't help but disbelieve it.

Mi Bao was so angry that she trembled all over and kept cursing: "I will dismember the five horses of Xiangcheng to relieve my hatred!"

Mi Bao's roar scared Xu Yang in front of him and hurriedly said, "Don't say loudly when guarding the city! If the people from Xiang Cheng heard it, it would be awful."

Mi Bao said angrily: "What, can I still endure that traitor Zhao Cheng?"

Xu Yang hurriedly said, "This is naturally not needed. Just use the order of the city guard, and you will naturally be able to capture the city and hand it over to the city guard!"

Mi Bao glared at Xu Yang and shouted, "Then why don't you go quickly?"

Xu Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "City Guard, it's not difficult to capture Xiangcheng, but Xiangcheng has many confidants in the army. If those confidants make trouble..."

Mi Bao snorted and said, "You are waiting here!" Then he got up and went to the inner room.

After a while, Mi Bao walked out again and handed a small half-broken copper tiger talisman into Xu Yang's hands: "This is the Liyang City military talisman. You can control all the troops in the city by just showing this item, except for Xiang Cheng and his accomplices!"

Xu Yang was overjoyed and hurriedly took the military talisman with great respect and said, "Please rest assured by the city guard. I will give up the thief Xiang Cheng and keep his Xiang's head in front of the city guard!"

After walking a few steps, Xu Yang seemed a little worried and turned around and said, "Xiang Zhong, please lead your subordinates to protect the city guard's mansion. Don't let the thieves in Xiangcheng threaten the safety of the city guard!"

Looking at Xu Yang's hurriedly leaving, Mi Bao couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

As the saying goes, knowing people but not their hearts. Unexpectedly, Xu Yang, who looks the most unreliable on weekdays, is a loyal minister at the critical moment, while Xiang Cheng, who usually looks loyal, is actually a damn rebellious boy!

Xu Yang has been away for a long time.

An hour later, a dense sound of footsteps sounded from outside the yard.

Mi Bao, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped up and walked out of the door of the study room, and happened to meet Xu Yang who was leading hundreds of prisoners into the yard.

Mi Bao saw the head of death in Xu Yang's hand at first sight. It was the damn traitor Xiang Cheng!

Mi Bao was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Xu Yang, you did a good job, please take this traitor's head to me..."

Mi Bao's voice came to an abrupt end.

A cold sword edge had already touched Mi Bao's neck at some point, causing all the words below him to be stuck in his throat and could not say a word.

Mi Bao turned his gaze carefully and suddenly realized that the person who used the sword to control him was nothing else, but Xiang Zhong who had just reported to Xiang Cheng!

Mi Bao was shocked and angry: "Xiang Zhong, what are you doing?"

"Bang!" Xiang Cheng's head was thrown at Mi Bao's feet. Xu Yang did not talk to Mi Bao, but turned to look at the prisoners behind him.

"Second and third son, we are good people, but we were mistaken for criminals by the tyranny of the Qin King! Now the opportunity has come, the army of Zhao is outside the city. We only need to offer the city to General Li Mu of Zhao, who is a meritorious minister of Zhao! Let me tell me if I am willing to raise a crime with me?"
