Chapter 57 Fishing in Troubled Waters (11)

Almost as the words fell, the soldiers led by Ju Bu walked and shouted in unison. The long halberd instantly formed a dense round array, surrounding Zhao Xin in the center. Just after a command, the halberds were about to stab Zhao Xin to death. The distant high ground was also covered with archers, and the long bows were drawn, and the arrows pointed directly at Zhao Xin.

This is the difference between the battlefield and the world. No matter how high a person's martial arts are, he will definitely die when facing the military formation alone. Even with the ability of Wang Xu, he will never dare to plunder the army's military.

Zhao Xin raised his head proudly, without any panic. The corner of his mouth still had that faint smile, always looking so calm and confident, as if everything was in control.

If Mount Tai collapses in front of you and your face remains unchanged, this is the technique of cultivating the mind in Guigu Sect. A person’s failure is often because of his own mistakes, so the enemy has an opportunity to take advantage of. When you are panicked, it is the time when you are most likely to make mistakes and are most likely to be taken advantage of by others.

Calmness is far more effective than any wisdom.

What Zhao Xin is doing now is to try to calm himself down, his face is still calm, but his mind is turning rapidly, thinking about how to resolve this seemingly mortal dilemma.

Ji Xin looked at Zhao Xin in the crowd, hesitated, but finally made up his mind. He was about to wave his arms, and was about to kill Zhao Xinli on the spot. But suddenly, he saw Zhao Xinying laughing loudly, and he was tilting back and forth. He was so unhappy, as if he had seen the funnyest thing in the world, and tears were about to burst into laughter.

Ji Xin hesitated again, and finally slowly lowered his arm, shouted in surprise, "What are you laughing at when death is coming?"

Zhao Xin finally stopped laughing wildly, touched his chest and said with a panting smile: "I laughed at me, Zhao Xin, most afraid of loneliness in his life. I didn't expect that so many people would come to me after I set out on the road; I smiled at you all watching coldly, but I didn't know that my death was coming."

"At the same time, I, Zhao Xin, will only go to the underworld to explore the wind first, so I would like to congratulate you all on the arrival of you. It is really cost-effective to replace so many lives with my life, and it is extremely cost-effective."

As soon as the words came out, all the generals' expressions changed. Ji Xin snorted heavily and sneered, "If you want to say that Zhao Yong will avenge you, I advise you to die. Although I, Ji Xin, are not talented, are confident that I can defend the city in front of the Zhao army. Even if the Zhao cavalry is elite, they are just cavalry, and it is not their turn to attack the city. Unless Zhao Yong wants to fight with me and pile up the corpses of soldiers on the head of Shiyi City, I will not do anything to me."

Zhao Xin laughed and said, "What a big tone, just rely on the food and grass in your city?"

This time it was Ji Xin's turn to change his face. He kept hiding the lack of food and grass from the soldiers and strictly blocked the news. Even the deputy general Nie Gai didn't know, because he was afraid that the morale of the army would be shaken because of this, but he didn't know where Zhao Xin learned about it.

Sure enough, all the generals were shocked, and a veteran even couldn't help but ask, "General, are there really enough food and supplies in the city?"

Ji Xin did not answer, but just looked at Zhao Xin with a sneer, saying, "No matter how sweet words you make up our morale, you will never escape death today."

"Is that true?" Zhao Xin laughed instead of rushing, pointing at Nie Gai's body that had already lying on the ground, pointing at Wang Zhao, who was still unwilling to hold on to him, and said, "Do you really think that Wang Zhao in Nie Gai's hand is fake?"

"I tell you, that is the true and true imperial edict of the King of Zhongshan. I led my men and horses to attack Gu Ji halfway. Ji Xin, your king of Zhongshan really wants Nie Gai to kill you. His beloved general Yuan Qian was assassinated in the city. Sima Xi of the prime minister said that it was yours, and Nie Gai was just a imperial edict, but you resisted the order and gathered to rebel. Let me ask you, even if you can defend Shiyi, how could the King of Zhongshan and Sima Xi let you go with this crime? You will die sooner or later. What is the difference between you and me?"

Ji Xin widened his eyes and waited for Wang Zhao, who was holding Nie Gai's body, quickly stepped forward and snatched it down. After opening the seal, he was stunned and came to his senses for a while. He murmured, "Impossible, why did the king treat me like this? Although he doesn't like me, he also said that I am the pillar of Zhongshan and said that he will never doubt me. How is it possible? How is it possible?"

Zhao Xin refused to give in and continued to say, "How is it impossible? General Ji, you have been loyal to the King of Zhongshan all your life, but when did he treat you fairly? Now that Zhongshan is in a state of incompetence and treacherous ministers, how can such a country not perish? You have protected the Yi family's country for life, but how did Yi Shang treat you? Do you know that in Lingshou City, all 120 people in your mansion have been killed by Sima Xi!"

When Ji Xin heard the last sentence, he felt like a lightning strike, and his face was ashen. He stared at Zhao Xin tightly, his lips trembled slightly. Suddenly he opened his mouth and screamed, and he fainted. The soldiers on the side hurried forward to support him.

Zhao Xin was nervous when he looked at him, thinking that this old boy would not be able to hold on for a moment, and that would have to be buried with him.

Fortunately, Ji Xin was just anxious and soon woke up slowly. He quickly pushed away the troops who were supporting him, struggled to stand up and look at Zhao Xin, and said in a trembling voice, "What you said is true?"

At this moment, Ji Xin in front of Zhao Xin was no longer the Ji Xin who was always confident, but an old man who looked at him with a begging face. Ji Xin looked at Zhao Xin blankly, his eyes full of prayer, and undoubtedly hoped that Zhao Xin could tell him in person that this was not true.

Zhao Xin nodded cruelly. Although he also sympathized with the old man, his life was obviously more important. Moreover, he did get news from Yi Yi that Ji Xin's family had indeed suffered the disaster of extermination.

Ji Xin pulled out his sword, tears flowed out, and shouted to the sky, "Yi Shang, I am loyal to you, why did you kill my mother! Kill my wife! Kill me all over the family!"

He swung his sword violently to chop the bricks and stones on the ground. The huge force broke the sword's body instantly, and made Ji Xin unable to stop his body from leaning back and was supported by everyone.

Ji Xin cried and cried, and said with tears in his eyes, "A man defends his country and protects his country. I will defend his country all my life, but I can't even protect his family. My mother gave birth to me and raised me with great difficulty. My wife respected me and loved me, and gave birth to children for me. Now I have died tragically because of my tragic death. What is my dignified man? How can I live in this world?"

After saying that, he screamed and was about to draw his sword and commit suicide, but was snatched by Jubu, who had been alert on the side. He threw the sword hard on the spot and shouted with grief and anger. "General, the king is mean and merciless. It is really disappointing to treat us like this. We will protect you! What should we do in such a country and such a king! Why don't you take us back and kill Lingshou and cut the traitor into pieces, so that you can repay the anger in your heart!"

Ji Xin's body shook and suddenly stood up, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He suddenly shook his head and sighed, "It's impossible, we will never kill Lingshou. I can't implicate my brothers to die with me."

"There is still a way out." Suddenly a voice came, and everyone turned their eyes and looked at Zhao Xin together.

Zhao Xin's face was still a faint smile, and he said confidently, "There is still a way out, a way to survive! I don't know if General Ji is willing to take his brothers on this path!"

Ji Xin slowly raised his head and looked at Zhao Xin. He knew exactly what the "that road" Zhao Xin said was, but he did not say anything, but just looked at Zhao Xin quietly and let him say loudly.

"General Ji, you are disrespectful to the order, which is tantamount to Yi Shang. What is the consequence of rebellion? I'm afraid you know it if you don't have to say much. Now there are strong soldiers outside and troubles inside. Not to mention that you are just a Shiyi, even Zhongshan Kingdom is in danger. It's a matter of time to overturn. Even if you are struggling to support it, it will be futile."
