The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

Sheng Xu realized that the matter was of great importance, so he raised his account and gathered Zhao Hao and others to discuss it.

Speaking of which, Zhao Hao, a minister from Conglong, had been depressed for so many years, and suddenly he was "airborne" into the top position. Naturally, he felt extremely unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it. Firstly, Shengxu came here in good faith. With Emperor Zhao's personal edict, he did not dare to disobey orders. Secondly... Shengxu was indeed very talented and skillful. Not to mention that the defense line he took over became stronger. This person He was also proficient in the means of gathering people's hearts and gave Zhao Hao no chance to seize power! By the time he came to his senses, the overall situation was almost decided. With no choice but to give in to Shengxu at a banquet, he accepted the position of second in command... But the resentment in his heart was still hidden after all.

When he arrived at the venue, he thought it was some trivial matters related to border defense, and his face was a little impatient. But when he finished listening, his eyes widened, and he was more excited than anyone else!

"General Sheng! This is a God-given opportunity! We must not miss it!" Zhao Hao looked at the map and even breathed a little heavier. "If we can succeed in the sneak attack this time, Piling City will be at our fingertips! At that time, we can meet His Majesty in the East With the surprise attack, Nan Ke will be able to stop Zhou's reinforcements! By then, even if Emperor Wu of Zhou doesn't want to admit it, he will have to hold his nose and admit it!

"If you can really accomplish this great feat, Your Majesty will definitely reward you! This is a great opportunity, a great opportunity, General Sheng!"

After saying these words, Sheng Xuruo would be lying if he said he was unmoved - this has nothing to do with his cautious personality, it is purely a natural reaction when facing a major temptation - but soon, his inner caution returned. After gaining the upper hand, he paused and muttered: "Of course this is true, but General Zhao knows that your majesty ordered us to defend our territory and not let anyone enter the hinterland of our Zhao country! The success of this surprise attack was indeed excellent, but If you miss, I'm afraid

Zhou soldiers launched a counterattack, and the city could not be defended! What should happen then? "

Hearing this, Zhao Hao sneered and said, "Did General Sheng forget someone?"

Hearing this, Sheng Xu was slightly stunned, but then he remembered an old incident and raised his brows: "General Zhao, the overall situation is now, it is better not to get involved in personal grudges at this time, right?"

"Haha... a personal grudge? Was it not Chen Du's son who escaped before the battle, which led to my sworn brother being killed by Zhou Jiang? Since His Majesty sent him to guard Qingxia City after Liyang City, why don't we rely on him? Anyway, even this city It’s lost and he’s still holding it, so what are you afraid of?”

Hearing the sound, Sheng Xu felt even more unhappy. He knew that the old things back then were very messy and he couldn't explain them in a few words, but he couldn't stand Zhao Hao's obvious angry words now - even if there is indeed a pass like Qianxia City after Liyang City, but How can we talk about mountain and river barriers and military and national affairs like this?

"Hmph..." Looking at Sheng Xu's appearance, Zhao Hao snorted softly, cupped his fists and said coldly: "General Sheng, I would like to remind you that no matter how good you are in defense, it is not as impressive as attacking a city! Like a general, After waiting here for so many years, what’s the result? Oh, what we have learned from the past is that even if General Sheng doesn't think about the general or the state of Zhao, why should he think about his own future? If there is no opportunity, then that's it. Now that God has given us the opportunity, we still have to delay here. , waiting for Zhou Guo to react? "

After saying these words, Sheng Xu felt that Zhao Hao had been holding back a lot of anger, and now he was seizing the opportunity to vent it out in one breath. However, at this juncture, he didn't have much thought to investigate the reason behind his "angry words". There were many inappropriate things - to be honest, it was none of his business - but looking at Zhao Hao, who was once so powerful and now so miserable, he was slightly moved...

There is no other way. The words "drawing lessons from the past" are too lethal. If I give up this good opportunity out of caution, will I repeat Zhao Hao's tragedy and become the next resentful general in this borderland?

"After all, the rise of Zhao Dynasty has been too fast. There are too many problems that need to be solved urgently. But I am also in the middle of the situation now, so it is difficult for me to give advice to His Majesty..."

Sheng Xu sighed, staring at the map, tapping his fingers on the "fuzzy location" of the unmarked trail, looking hesitant...

Although it looked tempting, his intuition told him that there was something fishy about this matter, because everything was too coincidental!

The more you get involved in official circles, the more you understand that most coincidences are inevitable. The more pie-in-the-sky this thing looks like, the more likely it is a trap!

The balance in Sheng Xu's heart was constantly swinging. As the rationality and caution in his heart gradually gained the upper hand, this trend became obvious. He sighed leisurely, stretched out his right hand from the map, and was about to speak... …

However, at this moment, a shout suddenly came from outside.

"You must not send troops!"

The person coming is none other than Zhu Qi! In order to achieve the best "shock effect", he chose to appear late. At that moment, he quickly walked into the room, cupped his fists and said: "General Sheng, please listen to what I say next! What happened this time is too strange. ! I think this is probably done intentionally by Zhou Bing. It's a trap! Moreover, the Jinghe River suddenly flooded and then receded suddenly, which was too strange, leaving a lot of water stains, making the trail even more difficult to walk, even if there was no ambush inside, what if the Jinghe River came again? If you make a fuss, won’t our army die in vain?”

"All kinds of things indicate that this incident is not feasible, feasible, or suitable to be carried out! This is not a good opportunity, and the risk is too great! Therefore, we must not go out of the city against His Majesty's will, otherwise, there will be disaster!"

After saying these words, everyone in the audience was stunned. Sheng Xu looked extremely weird. If we use modern words, his current mood is - "What a fool, you guys came here to grab the lines." Bar?"

Yes.

Sheng Xu's originally thought-out words were all finished by Zhu Qi, which made him feel that "it's a shame" because--ah, I didn't want to send troops in the first place, why did you make it look like I was going to send troops? , you are here to give me some advice and try to save the situation... Where did this trouble come from?

Of course, Zhu Qi didn't know Sheng Xu's thoughts. He was still immersed in the ecstasy of that "performance", and... his "performance" had just begun!

He didn't even turn when he saw him, and just showed his fangs!

"You! You! And you! You guys are usually known as clever and clever, but now, no one persuades the general? Oh! I understand, you are afraid, so you want to make a contribution and use this dangerous trick! But have you ever thought about the risks behind this? You are a bunch of sycophants! I don’t want to be with you!”

After Zhu Qi said this, he felt refreshed. Looking at his colleagues who were trembling with anger because of being accused by Zhu Xin, he wanted to scream loudly!

Finally... I have finally waited for this day!

Zhu Qi felt so happy, and was about to turn around and compliment Sheng Xu a few more times, when suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Hao with an angry look on his face from the corner of his eye...

Then, his mind suddenly became confused, and inexplicably, he remembered the man surnamed Fu who had not been seen for several days...

Trance!

Constantly in a trance!

He shook his head violently, looked at Zhao Hao, and actually said a sarcastic words that he had always kept deep in his heart...

"You! Yes, and you! General Zhao, I'm talking about you! Others don't know the importance of this city, why are you acting like a child who hasn't grown up, fooling around here? Oh~ I understand, isn't it? Don't you want to rely on me? Isn't that what happened to Conglong? I have resentment in my heart! Do you know the overall situation? Do you still dare to glare at me? Do you know who I am? You are the most favored strategist under General Sheng! And you are just a lieutenant. Haha, yes, you are so majestic! You have been guarding the city for many years, but you have not been promoted. How do you feel about waiting for a lieutenant? Are you feeling aggrieved? Keep holding it in! You have to hold it in even if you can’t help it! You dare to have any objections? You’re just a reckless man. At this moment, you can’t even fight. Don’t even dare to fart!”

Zhu Qi spoke this long story quickly, finishing it before anyone could interrupt him... Looking at the drunken and swaying Zhu Qi, everyone was stunned for a short while...

This little moment is enough.

"Ahhh!——"

Hearing a burst of shouting, Zhao Hao suddenly drew out the giant sword from his waist. Then, with a flash of sword light, Zhu Qi had no time to react, and his head was separated!

Blood surges!

Accompanied by Zhao Hao's crazy roar!

"I want to send troops! Send troops! Send troops!"

"Heaven and earth! Anyone who stops me will kill me!"
