Chapter 608: Moths fly into flames
It is said that Zhang Ji returned from Li Ru's place with beauty and had an endless erotic dream alone on the recliner in the study. It was at the stall where I couldn't stop and was in full swing. Suddenly there was a noise at the door, which immediately shattered the sweet dream and turned it into an erotic dream. Zhang Ji stood up in anger and was about to explode when he heard the guard at the door loudly report: "General Zhang, General Yan Xing is visiting!"
General Xiao Zhang's anger immediately turned into surprise, and his blood instantly cooled down. Unexpectedly, Yan Xing, who had asked Zhang Sheng and Jiang Wei to search the city for a whole day without finding them, would appear at the gate by himself. Are there really moths flying into the fire?
Zhang Ji calmed down and his smart brain immediately resumed rapid operation. The appearance of Yan Xing showed that his injury was not too serious, and he did not know that Zhang Ji and Han Sui colluded to betray him. Seeking his help in times of trouble shows that he still trusts him. How should Zhang Ji take advantage of this trust?
Originally, Zhang Ji betrayed Yan Xing in order to reassure Han Sui that he would not doubt the loyalty of Zhang Ji and his father, and to plant hatred between the forces in Jincheng County and Huangzhong, so that he could sow discord in the future. Fighting to weaken the power of both sides can also benefit the fishermen garrisoned in Tianshui.
But if Yan Xing did this, if he captured him personally and then handed him over to Han Sui, he would be completely exposed in front of the stage. In the future, Jincheng County will definitely avenge Yan Xing's army, and Tianshui County will bear the brunt, with a hundred thousand soldiers.
But if you don't meet him, you will definitely feel guilty as a thief. No matter how stupid Yan Xing is, he will understand that Zhang Ji is not of the same mind as him, or even betrayed him, and the result will be worse.
Zhang Ji thought in his mind and felt that this matter was quite difficult. Suddenly he saw his housekeeper shrunk out of the back hall, and he was overjoyed and had an idea. While he ordered people to invite Yan Xing to come in and talk, he pressed the sword hanging in his waist and walked slowly to the housekeeper.
That steward was the one who tricked Yan Xing into meeting Li Ru. When he saw Young Master Zhang approaching, he hurriedly stepped forward and obeyed the order. Young Master Zhang said calmly: "You have been following my father for ten years, right?"
The housekeeper said: "I have been serving Young Master Zhang for three years!"
Zhang Jibai smiled slightly and said: "As expected, I can show my loyalty. Today I want to lend you something to fix Yan Xing's heart. Is it okay?"
"As long as the villain can take it out, let the little lord take it for himself..." Before he finished speaking, the housekeeper suddenly stopped. He seemed to feel some danger, but he didn't dare to say it.
"I want to borrow your head to secure Yan Xing's heart in Jincheng!" Zhang Ji's face suddenly turned cold and stern, and the sword in his waist was already unsheathed like a poisonous snake, and he cut the butler's neck with a swipe. The butler's pupils immediately shrank, he held his throat and coughed loudly. His face was extremely scary, blood was pouring from his throat, everything was blurred in front of his eyes, injustice mixed with blood suddenly spurted out from the carotid artery, and the body finally fell to the ground softly.
Zhang Ji wiped the bloody sword clean on the man's body and murmured: "I will take care of your wife and children, so they can be reincarnated!" Then he returned the sword to its sheath and took out a snow-white painting from his sleeve. handkerchief, wiping the blood on his face. At this time, two guards led Yan Xing and a guard into the gate. When they saw a bloody corpse lying on the ground, they couldn't help but stop in a daze.
Seeing that Yan Xing's face was dejected, Zhang Ji immediately threw down the bloody handkerchief, strode forward and cheered: "Brother Yan Xing! Are you injured? How is the situation?" His concern was beyond words, and his acting skills were indeed very good.
Yan Xing was also an actor, so he hurriedly said a few harmless words, pointed at the corpse on the ground and said, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Zhang Ji shook his head and sighed: "Brother Yan, to tell you the truth, I was shocked this morning when I heard that you were attacked last night. I was so frightened that I didn't even think about eating for the whole day. I asked Zhang Sheng and Jiang Wei to look for you all day, but they all had nothing to eat. , I searched the whole city and couldn't find any trace of my eldest brother! I investigated for a long time and found out that this guy was the one who falsely spread the news to swindle my eldest brother. It turned out that he was actually Han Sui's mastermind! He was killed by me just now, which is half of my revenge for my eldest brother. A revenge!"
Yan Xing quickly held up his hands and thanked him, thinking about killing and silence, but unexpectedly the wound was affected. He covered his chest, frowned and gritted his teeth. Chen Long hurriedly stepped forward to help him. Zhang Ji saw that Chen Long was tall and had a beard covering his mouth. He smiled and said, "This dear fellow looks familiar, but is he Brother Yan's bodyguard?"
Yan Xing covered his chest, shook his head and nodded: "He is my new friend from Lu Shui Hu people. If it weren't for him, I almost drowned in the Wei River yesterday." Chen Long stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Little man Poplar euphratica , met General Xiao Zhang.”
Zhang Ji took a deep look at Chen Long and ordered: "You guys stand guard at the door while I help Brother Yan go to the living room to rest. Let the servants bring you two cups of tea." After saying that, he helped Yan Xing enter the house, and the guard quickly asked someone to collect the body. Chen Long naturally stood guard at the door, but his ears used magic to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two people in the room.
The sound of the two people sitting down was heard, and then the servants came in to serve tea, but Zhang Ji waved them back. Zhang Ji's voice came: "Brother Yan, who is it that assassinated you?"
Yan Xing's voice was full of hatred: "Who else could it be besides those killers under Han Sui?" Zhang Ji asked in surprise, "Could it be the Huangzhong Qiang thorns?" The room fell into silence for an instant.
After a long time, Yan Xing's voice sounded first: "For my brother's sake, I was seriously injured. Unless you can help me, brother, I will never be able to escape from the Huangzhong Qiang assassins. I want to hide in your house for a few days to recover from my injuries first. Then you secretly send me back to Jincheng. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. When I return to Jincheng, I will definitely declare independence and raise troops to fight Han Sui to the death. When the time comes, brother, you must give me a helping hand!"
These were all the arguments prepared by Chen Long and Yan Xing before coming here, in order to trick Zhang Ji into believing that Yan Xing did not suspect him.
Zhang Ji nodded and said: "Of course! Han Sui bossed my father around. With countless Qiang soldiers, he thought that Xiliang was invincible. I have long been dissatisfied with his superiority."
Yan Xing's voice rang out: "It was really dangerous this time. I'm just wondering, how could Han Sui find my trace? It turns out that the housekeeper you have here is Han Sui's spy. Fortunately, my brother found out clearly! It can be seen that Han Sui is very cunning. , Brother, you have to be careful about the people around you!"
Zhang Ji's white face turned red involuntarily, and Yan Xing continued to ask: "However, brother, the Li Ru you recommended is indeed the best choice for military advisor. Where is this Li Ru? Before leaving, I must Let’s go meet him.”
These words were also discussed and were just about to test Zhang Ji's sincerity. Sure enough, Zhang Ji prevaricated: "Brother Yan is injured like this. It's not advisable to move too much these days. I'll find you a hidden place and recover from your injuries. As for Li Ru, he is hiding in a safe place, but the journey is far away. , It won’t be too late to see you again after big brother recovers from his injury.”
Yan Xing knew that Zhang Ji would never trust Li Ru sincerely to him, so he forced a smile and said: "That's very good. By the way, my savior, although I am a barbarian, admires the culture of the Central Plains, and wanted to participate in the Zheng Xuan Tomorrow I am attending a sermon meeting, but I have no one to recommend me. I would like to ask my brother to see my golden face and give it to him as a reward."
Zhang Ji stood up with a smile and said: "There is no problem with this. Since he is his brother, participating in the lecture conference is a piece of cake." After saying that, he wrote a few words in his hand, stuffed it into Yan Xing's hand, and continued: "This But a VIP seat ensures that you, the savior, will be satisfied!"
Yan Xing thanked him quickly, stuffed the note into his sleeve, and asked with a frown: "Brother, do you think the Huangzhong Qiang thorns are hidden in the Han De camp?" Zhang Ji also frowned, then Han De's camp of 80,000 Qiang soldiers was indeed like a thorn piercing the hearts of Zhang Ji and Zhang Ji. Every move of the Tianshui City soldiers could not be hidden from Han Sui's eyes.
Yan Xing obviously understood what Zhang Ji was thinking, and continued to throw out the bait: "Brother, I have a letter here. Please send it to Chen Yi, the prefect of Jincheng County, immediately. He will naturally act according to the plan and send Han De to Tianshui." Lure him away and lay a trap to destroy Han De." After saying that, he took out a thin envelope and sealed it with fire paint.
Zhang Ji didn't seem to think twice as he grabbed the result envelope and put it in his arms. The two of them said some insincere words, and Yan Xing pretended to be hurt. Zhang Ji immediately ordered people to send Yan Xing to a secret house in the city, and sent people to guard the front and back yards. Yan Xing was taken care of by Zhang Ji, and Chen Long took his leave naturally. With Zhang Ji's note, his identity as a sneak into the city seemed to change from dark to bright, and everything returned to calm. He just waited to listen to Zheng Xuan's story tomorrow morning. through.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
