Dongfang Xin said sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about? Before Dong Shizhen died, he was unconscious and was talking nonsense."

"Dongfangxin, what you said is wrong. Before a person dies, he is often the most sober." Chu Huan stretched out his hand and held the handle of the saber at his waist, and approached Dongfangxin two steps. It is clear that you set up a scheme to assassinate us, now that Xin Zhao has confessed, what else do you have to argue about?"

Dongfang's confidence was in a mess. Seeing Chu Huan's eyes burning, he was even more frightened. He couldn't help but said, "My lord, you...don't listen to rumors. All of this...has nothing to do with me!"

"The evidence is solid, what else do you have to defend? If you really have a grievance, just go to the capital and explain to the court." Chu Huan looked stern, and said in a deep voice: "Come here, take Dongfangxin!"

The guards moved forward with long swords and surrounded Dongfang Xin. Dongfang Xin was flustered, and suddenly heard a voice shouting: "General, go!" Warrior Wei, several guards behind him also followed up, raised their sabers and slashed. Hao Tong and the guards under his command were all loyal to Dongfangxin. Dongfangxin blazed a trail.

Starting here, all the officials dodged one after another. Dongfang Xin only had one last hope at this time, that is to get out of the general's mansion and go out of the city to gather soldiers and horses.

He has experienced hundreds of battles and has strong actual combat experience. At this time, he was in desperate situation to make a living, and he rushed to Hao Tong's side. Hao Tong's side had already opened a gap. A knife came over, said in a deep voice: "Follow me and kill out of the city." He took the lead and rushed to the outside of the general's mansion.

Chu Huan drew his sword in his hand and said loudly: "Dongfangxin assassinated Dong Shizhen with the intention of rebelling and taking down the traitor." He led the crowd to catch up.

Although Dongfang Xin was tall and big, his feet were like flying. He led Hao Tong and several others straight to the outside of the general's mansion. Huan's subordinates blocked him and turned his head to the side yard. Hao Tong and others guarded him with swords in their hands. At the sound of footsteps behind, Chu Huan led his men to follow closely behind.

"The defenders of the city are our people." Dongfang Xin said while running: "You follow me out of the city, as long as you go out of the city, gather troops and horses, and immediately return to Shuoquan City. Shredded to pieces."

In a short while, Dongfangxin and his team ran to the side wall, the high-walled courtyard of the General's Mansion, Hao Tong squatted on the ground without saying a word, and said: "My lord, climb over the wall and go out, I will stay here to stop the enemy!"

Dongfangxin's eyes showed gratitude, and he reached out and patted Hao Tong's shoulder, "With a friend like you, even if I die." Chu Huan and others followed closely behind, Dongfangxin dared not delay, and set foot on Hao Tong With a sudden force on his shoulders and feet, he jumped up and was about to jump onto the wall. He was in the air, but he heard a whistling sound behind him. As soon as it tightened, the whole body felt severe pain, and the strength in the whole body disappeared in an instant, becoming as heavy as a thousand catties, and falling down.

"My lord...!" Hao Tong and the others cried out in shock.

Dongfang Xin landed heavily on the corner of the wall, slumped on the ground, lowered his head, and found a long knife piercing his body from behind. The blade was as red as blood, but it was Chu Huan's saber.

Dongfang Xin's eyes were wide open. He was in excellent physical condition. Although he was pierced by a long knife, he did not die for a while. He tried his best to raise his head, only to see Chu Huan leading the guards rushing over, surrounding him in a semi-arc. , Chu Huan was expressionless, staring at Dongfang Xin's face, and said indifferently: "Dongfang Xin assassinated the imperial court official, failed and fled, killing without mercy!"

At this time, there was another sound of footsteps from behind, but a large group of officials also followed to watch the excitement. Everyone saw Dongfang Xin leaning against the wall with a long knife piercing his chest, seeing that he would not survive, and everyone was shocked.

Seeing Chu Huan's indifferent expression, Dongfang Xin's aura came out, and he suddenly understood something. He raised his arm with all his strength, pointed at Chu Huan, and hissed, "It's...it's you, so...hahahaha...!" He shouted loudly. Laughing, his tone was full of resignation and helplessness: "If I had known this, I... I should have led my troops to... cut you into pieces...!" He coughed violently, blood gushing out from his mouth, dripping On the chest, mixed with the blood from the chest, it stained the armor red.

"It's too late to say this now." Chu Huan sighed, raised his hand, and immediately a group of soldiers came up from behind, but they all had bows and arrows in their hands, aiming at Hao Tong and the others. Hao Tong and the others looked at each other. After a glance, Hao Tong snarled, clenched the knife in his hand, and rushed towards this side like an enraged cheetah.

With a hint of regret in his eyes, Chu Huan shook his head and sighed, "Hao Tong and the others are stubborn and will kill without mercy!"

Arrows flew out like rain, Hao Tong came first, only rushed a few steps, the sound of "Puff puff puff" sounded, the arrows did not enter his body, counting the arrows hit the vital point, he rushed out again After a few steps, he couldn't hold on anymore, knelt down on the ground, his body moved, and even if he fell headfirst, several guards behind him fell to the ground with arrows, and the air was instantly filled with the smell of blood.

The officials not far behind Chu Huan were all terrified.

Dong Shizhen was assassinated in the Beiwanglou, and the officials were already taken aback. No one could have imagined that in less than half a day, another tycoon in Xiguan, Dongfangxin, also resisted arrest and was killed.

What happened today, many officials still feel as if they are in a dream, unable to digest.

However, some shrewd officials always feel that something is a little strange, but it happened so logically. Dongfangxin wanted to monopolize the power, so he sent people to assassinate not only Chu Huan, but also Dong Shizhen. However, Dong Shizhen was unlucky and was assassinated on the spot, but Chu Huan escaped, and then chased the fugitive and found the general's mansion. Dongfangxin harbored the assassin Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin could not stop Chu Huan's interrogation, and confessed that Dongfangxin was the mastermind behind the scenes. It makes people, Dongfang Xin dare not fail here, trying to break through, but was killed by Chu Huan, everything seems reasonable, there is no flaw.

As for the warriors of the guards, they admired Chu Huan's method of throwing knives to kill the enemy. It seemed very simple, but not everyone could do it with the strength and timing. Dongfang Xin was wearing armor, and Chu Huan was far away from Not close, but able to pierce through the body with a sharp knife, this ability, absolutely few people can do it.

"Everyone, everyone has seen clearly that Dongfangxin sent people to assassinate Ben Du and Dong Shizhen, but they failed to resist arrest. Ben Du had no choice but to kill them." Chu Huan turned around, glanced at the officials behind him, and sighed : "Master Dong has outstanding talents, but he was harmed by Dongfangxin. It is really a pity...!"

Dong Shizhen and Dongfangxin were both killed within a day. Now the leader of Xiguan Road is naturally none other than Chu Huan. Chu Huan struck decisively and mercilessly. The officials were also terrified. Even the slightest disobedience, he said again and again: "Your Excellency is clearly aware of the details, Dongfang believes in the ambition of wolves, if you don't act decisively, Xiguan will definitely be destroyed."

"The governor knows that everyone is anxious to go back now." Chu Huan said solemnly: "However, the governor still has important matters to discuss with you, so please wait in the lobby first!"

All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one dared to say "no" at this time, and said one after another: "I would like to follow the orders of the governor."

The officials were brought to the lobby of the General's Mansion, and the General's Mansion was besieged. Chu Huan ordered Xin Zhao and Mrs. Dongfang to be temporarily detained, called Xuanyuan Shengcai, and asked, "Has everything been arranged?"

"My lord, the manpower has been selected, Dongfangxin's order talisman and general's seal have also been obtained, and we can set off now!"

Chu Huan said solemnly: "Everything is according to the original plan, and people will be sent out of the city immediately."

After Xuanyuan Sheng retreated, Chu Huan came to the hut where Xin Zhao was detained. Two warriors guarded the door. Chu Huan entered the door, and the room was lit. The rope has already been untied, and he was sitting in the house drinking tea. Hearing the movement, Xin Zhao raised his head and saw Chu Huan. Lord Governor!"

Chu Huan raised his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "Xin Zhao, you have contributed a lot this time, and the governor is very satisfied with you."

Zhao Dao said, "Your Excellency, you are being polite. If it wasn't for Your Excellency's careful arrangement, Xin Zhao's deep hatred may not be repaid in this life."

"Xin Zhao, you are a man of temperament. For so many years, you have treated Mrs. Dongfang...well, I'm sorry, you should call her Xiaoyun. You have a deep affection for Xiaoyun. Such a loving man is rare in the world." Chu Huan He said solemnly: "If I didn't know that you have such deep affection for Xiaoyun and value love and righteousness, the governor would not dare to trust you easily."

Xin Zhao said with a wry smile: "The little one knows that the adults are cautious, so he asked to take the poison."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Actually, the poison that the governor gave you at that time was not the real poison. Since you dared to take it, it proves that you really want to help the governor. It doesn't matter whether the poison is real or not."

"So...!" Zhao Xin was stunned, and then smiled wryly, "Your Excellency is very resourceful, Zhao Xin is convinced." Then he wondered, "Could it be that Your Excellency set up such a scheme from the very beginning?"

"Dong Shizhen and Dongfangxin have a large number of people in Xiguan. If the governor does not come up with another plan, it will be difficult to overthrow them." Chu Huan motioned Zhao Xin to sit down, "Knowing yourself and the enemy, you can win every battle. From the beginning, I have Send someone to secretly investigate Dongfangxin's information, only to learn that Dongfangxin had a past with you... You and Xiaoyun fell in love with Xiaoyun back then, and even made a private decision for life. Xiaoyun snatched from you, Ben Du thinks that as long as there is a little bloody man, he will definitely not be reconciled."

Xin Zhao clenched his fists and said with a sneer: "Back then we joined the army together, we formed a friendship with Jinlan, and we fought bloody battles with him, but no matter how much credit we made, he took it for himself and rose step by step. Our brother's life became his success If he hadn’t pulled Fourth Brother as a shield during the bandit suppression, Fourth Brother wouldn’t have died on the battlefield. He thought he was doing it secretly, but I saw it clearly at the time...!”
