National color raw owl

The dawn light gradually scattered between the sky and the earth, and there was no sleep all night, but Dongfang Xin not only did not look tired, but was somewhat excited. After Xin Zhao left, he did not rush back to the room, but sat in the side hall After a long time, the expression on his face changed, sometimes angry, sometimes excited, but more of a look of hope.

There were footsteps outside, and a respectful voice came: "General, are you looking for your subordinate?"

"Is it Hao Tong?" Dongfang Xin recovered from his thoughts and raised his head, "Come in and talk."

Hao Tong is over thirty years old, with a moderate build and a little thin. He doesn't look very impressive, but his eyes show that this person is calm and sophisticated, and he is by no means an ordinary person.

Standing in front of Dongfangxin, Hao Tong was as straight as a javelin.

Dongfangxin is very satisfied with Hao Tong. If there is one person he really trusts in this world, it may be this person in front of him.

Dongfang Xin was very sure that as long as he said a word, even if Hao Tong was asked to die now, he would never frown, and would die immediately.

It is a very happy thing to have such a confidant.

Such a confidant, Dongfangxin naturally reuses it. This seemingly unattractive character is the captain of Dongfangxin's personal army. Although Dongfangxin holds military power in his hands, he can't bring tens of thousands of troops with him all day long. General There is a team of more than [-] soldiers in the mansion, all of whom have followed Dongfangxin for many years, and Hao Tong is the captain of this team.

Hao Tong’s javelin office was standing, and the lines on his face were clearly defined, showing that he was a resolute and loyal person. His lips were tightly closed, and his eyelashes didn’t even flicker.

"Hao Tong, how long have you been with me?" After a while, Dongfang Xin finally asked with a sigh.

Hao Tong didn't even think about it, "Eight years and seven months plus six days!"

"You remember it very clearly." Dongfang Xin sighed, "I don't remember it as clearly as you."

"The general has important things to do, but Hao Tong only has the general in his heart." Hao Tong said calmly, "From the day he followed the general, Hao Tong thought that even if he followed the general for one more day, it would be Hao Tong's blessing."

Dongfang Xin laughed, and said: "If someone else said that, I would only think he was flattering, but I know that when you say it from your mouth, it is from your heart, and you are an honest person."

Hao Tong didn't speak, but his eyes showed gratitude.

"You are a person who values ​​affection. You just saved your life on the battlefield, so you made an oath to follow me for the rest of your life...!" Dongfang Xin sighed: "Actually, I have always been thinking about finding a life for you." Good prospects."

"Without the general, there would be no Hao Tong." Hao Tong said solemnly: "Since this life was saved by the general, it belongs to the general. Being able to follow the general and serve the general is Hao Tong's best future."

Dongfang Xin shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't have many friends in my life. If there is a friend, you are that friend."

"Don't dare to be humble!" Hao Tong immediately knelt down.

Dongfang Xin stood up, helped Hao Tong, and said with a smile: "Hao Tong, I know you have always liked Cuixia, and this girl is also interested in you. I can see that, and I have long been prepared to make this beautiful thing come true."

"General, I...!"

"Don't talk too much, I will betroth Cuixia to you right now. She is a maid in the mansion. As long as you don't dislike her low birth, I will pick a good day and hold a big wedding for you!" Dongfang Xin laughed.

There was gratitude in Hao Tong's eyes, and he said: "Hao Tong is also from a poor family, the general is very kind, and the humble job cannot be repaid even if he dies!"

Dongfangxin smiled, sat down and sighed, and said: "I'm just going to do one thing, and when it's done, I'll have all the glory and wealth, but... this thing must be done by the most trusted person."

"General, everything in Hao Tong's life is thanks to you." Hao Tong's expression immediately became resolute, "The general has an order, and I will do my best in this humble position."

"Okay!" Dongfang Xin gave a thumbs up, "Sure enough, he is a good man with affection and intention." He waved his hand, motioned Hao Tong to approach, and whispered in his ear: "In a few days, Dong Shizhen will hold a birthday banquet in Beiwanglou, you choose Thirty elite soldiers will follow the guards, and when the time comes, you will be guarding the North Watchtower."

Hao Tong nodded slightly, but he was very clear that Dongfangxin's attitude today would never just let him guard the North Watchtower.

"That day, if there are no accidents, there will be an assassination." Dongfang Xin looked coldly, and whispered: "Is your knife here?"

Hao Tongtong: "The humble sword never leaves your body." While speaking, he had already untied the saber from his waist and handed it to Dongfang Xin. Dongfang Xin took the knife, held the handle, and pulled out the saber inside. A cold light suddenly appeared, "You are the famous Fengzui knife. Many people know that you use this knife. Hao Tong, do you know how to steal the sword?"

"Switch?" Hao Tong was obviously a little confused.

"I want you to keep the outer scabbard on that day, but the inner blade should be equipped with another knife, and you must not let anyone know that your knife has been changed." Dongfang Xin's eyes were gloomy, "Fengzui knife The blade is thicker, I want you to find a sharp knife with a thinner blade, so that people can tell from the wound that it is not a Fengzui knife wound!"

Hao Tong really didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Dongfangxin's gourd, but he still nodded firmly and said: "I understand, this matter is not difficult."

"I just said that on that day, there will be an assassination." Dongfang said: "Once the assassination happens, the North Watchtower will fall into chaos. You have to take your people and rush there quickly. At that time, I will Give you a wink, my wink points to your target, you must take advantage of the unpreparedness, kill him in one fell swoop, and never let him live!"

"I will remember the general's order." Hao Tong said nothing else.

Dongfang Xin stared at Hao Tong, and suddenly asked: "You don't want to know who I asked you to kill?"

"The person the general wants to kill must be the one who deserves to die. He is obedient to his humble position, and he doesn't need to know who he is."

Dongfangxin sighed: "It is my honor to have a friend like you."

……

……

Desolate courtyards, the courtyards are full of weeds. There are not many such places in Shuoquan City. When Xiliang people captured Shuoquan City, many people left their homes and left their houses. Many house owners never left. return.

It was lonely and silent.

Xin Zhao entered the woodshed, closed the door, in the darkness, a person turned around in the corner, saw Xin Zhao, and asked with a smile: "Master Zhao, how are things going?"

There was no light in the house, and the dilapidated windows let in a little light at dawn. The man was dressed in a gray robe, wearing a hat, with small eyes and a friendly smile. He was Dong Shizhen, the magistrate of Yuezhou.

Xin Zhao took two steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master Dong has been waiting for a long time."

"Master Zhao has worked hard." Dong Shizhen said softly with a smile: "Dong has been worried about Master Zhao, I'm afraid that Dongfangxin will turn his face and deny him."

"Master Dong, don't worry, everything is going well. I have already met Dongfang Xin. Everything is as we expected. Dongfang Xin hates Chu Huan to the core. He wants to kill Chu Huan quickly. He must be thinking about how to kill Chu Huan." Huan, I went over at this time and hit his arms, he must be very excited." Zhao Xin took off the black scarf on his face, sneered: "He wants to kill people, I will send a knife, he will be very happy very."

Dong Shizhen nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and finally asked: "Lord Zhao, are you sure that he has no suspicion of you?"

"Absolutely not." Zhao Xin is very confident, "I was married to Jinlan with him at the beginning, and I still have a good understanding of his temperament. If it wasn't for Chu Huan who pushed me into a corner, I might not be able to win the trust of Dongfang Xin, but Chu Huan Huan pushed me to the point of nowhere. He Dongfangxin saw it and knew that I must hate Chu Huan... I told him that I wanted to kill Chu Huan. He must have thought that I wanted to take revenge on Chu Huan! "

Dong Shizhen said with a smile: "Anyone would think this way. Of course, Dongfangxin would never have thought that our goal is not just Chu Huan." After a pause, he asked again: "Master Zhao has really made up his mind?"

"At this time, Master Dong still doesn't believe me?" Xin Zhao said with a wry smile, "We have a common enemy, and... I have already taken the poison you gave me in front of you. I can't live without your poison."

"Lord Zhao, don't misunderstand." Dong Shizhen immediately said: "Dong has absolutely no doubts about Master Zhao's character. You are a good man who promises money, and you are a great husband who values ​​love and righteousness. It's really humiliating Mr. Zhao to marry Jinlan with righteousness."

"Dongfang believes in benevolence and righteousness, and to this day, he still treats me like a three-year-old child." Zhao Xin clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, "He claimed to treat me as a brother, but many years ago, he separated me and Xiaoyun, Jiu Occupying the magpie's nest, I will break all ties with him, I swore at the beginning, sooner or later, I will kill him with my own hands!"

"Master Zhao promises a thousand gold, and I, Dong, will never break my promise." Dong Shizhen said seriously: "At the birthday banquet, Dongfangxin will be handed over to you, and Chu Huan will be handed over to me." With a cold smile, "Dongfangxin It is absolutely unexpected that Mr. Zhao will attack him, when the weapon is soaked with the poison of blood sealing the throat, Dongfang Xin will definitely be killed on the spot!"

"I'm going to kill Dongfang Xin with my own hands." Zhao Xin said bitterly, "It's just Mr. Dong, Chu Huan, are you really sure? It is said that when Chu Huan was in Yichun, he killed one of the seven heroes of the Heavenly Sect." One's General Mu, his martial arts are of course very important, and should not be underestimated, if there is a slight difference...!"

Dong Shizhen waved his hands and said with a smile: "Chu Huan's martial arts are high, but he has not yet reached the position of a top master. You should know that there are strong masters among the strong. Don't even think about escaping with your life!"

"Retreat to be foolproof." Zhao Xin said seriously: "One mistake, the whole game will be lost!"

"The earthen pot can't be broken away from the well, and the general will inevitably die in battle. Mr. Zhao, I have already laid a net of heaven and earth. At that time, there will be super masters to deal with Chu Huan. In this world, the higher the martial arts, the faster the death. One point, don’t worry, as long as Chu Huan and Dongfang Xin die, you evacuate according to the pre-set route and return to Shuoquan afterwards, I assure you that the military power in Xiguan will belong to your General Zhao!” Dong Shizhen solemnly said : "Everything that General Zhao lost will definitely be doubled back to you!"
