The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 228
Probably because the death came too suddenly, Luo Feng's eyes were wide open, and the scar on his face that stretched from the corner of the eye to the mouth was even more hideous.

Everyone present was shocked by this situation, Xiao Jingtian's eyes also flashed a gleam of disbelief.

Although Luo Feng betrayed him, he was also the one who lived and died with him...

Xiao Jingtian pushed away Zhao Qianwei's cover, walked in front of Ji Xuan, and closed the wooden box.

"What are you going to do with those Yu Pinggu people now?"

Ji Xuan smiled wryly, "Didn't Brother Tian Xian offend me? You are the great general who commands thousands of troops. I brought those soldiers northward because they were as worried about your safety as I was. Now that you If they return safely, they will naturally return to the northwest."

Xiao Jingtian nodded, "The 5 people who were supposed to come from Gyeonggi will also return to the northwest to be stationed at this moment."

Ji Xuandao: "Brothers who came with me, I will order them to camp and rest in the valley tonight, and when Brother Tianxian enters the valley tomorrow, I will apologize to you together with them."

Xiao Jingtian suddenly asked: "Since Luo Feng has been beheaded by you, where did the military expenses he embezzled go?"

Ji Xuan sighed softly, and said with some shame: "I was impatient at the time, and asked him why he wanted to lie to the world and let us do such a rebellious thing. But he just kept talking nonsense, and I couldn't get angry at the time, so I directly ended it with a sword He forgot to ask about military expenses."

Xiao Jingtian frowned, "This time, part of the military expenditure was squeezed out of the national treasury, and part of it was subsidized by His Majesty's private treasury. If it can't be recovered, how can Xiao have the face to see His Majesty, and what face will he face the world?" people?"

Ji Xuan's complexion changed, and the expression of shame on his face became even worse, "It's brother Yu who is sorry for brother virtuous."

Xiao Jingtian said quietly: "If Brother Ji is sorry for his actions, it is not this general, but His Majesty. Over the years, two generations of emperors have sympathized with the border soldiers, and have never treated the border soldiers harshly because of this general's disrespect. This general used to be too ignorant."

A flash of surprise flashed in Ji Xuan's eyes, and he soon returned to normal, "Brother Tianxian can settle the past with His Majesty, and the monarch and ministers are in harmony. Who will dare to invade my frontier in the future!"

Ignoring his compliment, Xiao Jingtian just said coldly: "It's getting late, brother Ji will rest in the big tent tonight, and I will go into the valley with you tomorrow morning."

"General, this tent is narrow, let the subordinates arrange another tent for General Ji."

Zhao Qianwei still couldn't fully trust Ji Xuan, and always felt that what happened tonight was too strange.

Xiao Jingtian waved his hand, "It's okay, I used to live with Brother Ji from time to time, I guess Brother Ji wouldn't mind, right?"

Ji Xuan looked indifferent, "Naturally."

Before this incident happened, the two were brothers and sisters, and they often lived in the same tent when the conditions of the war were difficult.In the eyes of several generals, Xiao Jingtian's actions completely believed in Ji Xuan.

"General!" Zhao Qian didn't call him, but wanted to persuade him again.Xiao Jingtian's cold eyes made him swallow all his words.

That night, Xiao Jing ordered people to set up a simple bed in the tent, and Ji Xuan rested on this simple bed.

After extinguishing the candle, Xiao Jingtian who was lying on the couch suddenly said, "Brother Ji, if the Emperor Taizu didn't bestow the Xiao family with the honor of hereditary general, would you or I be the general of this rank?"

Ji Xuan was startled, and his voice was as usual, "Brother Tianxian has superb martial arts skills and extraordinary courage, so this rank of general is naturally still yours."

"Oh." Xiao Jingtian's voice couldn't discern emotion, "I think so too."

Ji Xuan's heart was beating wildly because of his words, but when he heard the second half of his words, his heart almost stopped suddenly.

Xiao Jingtian, you are still as arrogant and conceited as ever!
In the darkness, Ji Xuan let out a sigh of relief, but his hands were tightly clenched into fists.

At dawn the next day, Xiao Jingtian ordered the whole army to pull out of the camp, and after the soldiers in Yu Pinggu were recruited, they quickly returned to the northwest.

Lei Jin, Zhao Qianwei and the others were always wary of Ji Xuan, taking advantage of Ji Xuan's absence, they came to Xiao Jingtian again to persuade him.

"General, Ji Xuan and the others made such a big commotion, it's really hard for the subordinates to believe that he would put it down so lightly, I'm afraid there will be fraud in the valley!"

"Didn't you send a sentry to investigate? You'll know what's going on in a while. Will this general still be troubled by mere Yu Pinggu?"

Xiao Jingtian was as confident as ever, and Lei Jin and the others were as anxious as ants in a pot.

Soon, the soldiers who inquired about the situation came back.

"General, the brothers in Yu Pinggu have put down all their weapons, except the armor, and are kneeling in the valley at this moment, waiting for the general to go."

"what!"

This news surprised several people in the account. The people sent to inquire about the news this time were all extremely reliable people. They almost thought that this person had been lowered by Ji Xuan.

Except for Xiao Jingtian, he nodded as usual.

"Understood, back off."

Zhao Qian didn't insist and said, "General, this subordinate still thinks it's inappropriate. If you really want to go to Yu Pinggu, then wait until this subordinate goes to see it in person!"

Xiao Jingtian was very patient today, "Okay, let's go."

Lei Jin cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate also wants to go!"

"can."

Not long after Lei and Zhao left, Ji Xuan opened the tent and entered.

Xiao Jingtian said: "The incident this time is too big to make them worry about it. Brother Ji, don't worry too much."

Ji Xuan smiled, "I won't mind, if it were me, I would be so suspicious."

Xiao Jingtian didn't say anything anymore, just picked up the pen and ink, and started to write.

Ji Xuan didn't speak, but quietly found a stool and sat down.

When Xiao Jingtian put down the brush, Lei Jin and Zhao Qian entered without lifting the tent.

"General..." They were hesitant to speak, and looked at Ji Xuan with a somewhat strange expression.

Xiao Jingtian blew on the paper, "How?"

"Everything is as it was found before, and the soldiers all look very regretful, it doesn't seem like a fake!"

Xiao Jingtian nodded in satisfaction, "Then send an order to withdraw from the camp."

Although the narrow and long valley is not as intrusive as seen during the daytime, it still makes people feel uncertain because they can't see the situation clearly.

Because a sentry had already visited the situation in the valley, the soldiers all looked a little relaxed at the moment.

Xiao Jingtian didn't show any emotion on his face, and after saying a few words, he marched toward the valley mightily with the whole army.

Ji Xuan rode behind Xiao Jingtian on horseback, his face was calm.He was still dressed like yesterday, and he didn't have any weapons except a whip in his hand.

When they were about to enter the narrowest part of Yu Pinggu, Xiao Jingtian suddenly reined in and ordered everyone to stop.

"General?" Zhao Qianwei and the others immediately rang alarm bells in their hearts.

Ji Xuan smiled lightly, "Brother Tianxian still doesn't believe me?"

At this time, a few people had already come out of the narrow valley. From their attire, one could tell at a glance that they were soldiers of the Northwest Army, and they were coming in Xiao Jingtian's direction.

"General, it is great that you are safe and sound!"

Their voices were excited, and their steps were even a little unsteady.

Xiao Jingtian got off his horse and saw that those people were about to approach him, but he suddenly kicked up and kicked those three or four people away.

Several people flew more than ten meters away like kites with broken strings.Xiao Jingtian used a lot of strength in that kick, and each of them broke at least three or four ribs. They lay on the ground and couldn't get up for a while, with painful expressions on their faces.

"General!"

A group of people were stunned by the accident in front of them, but Xiao Jingtian didn't give everyone too much time to be astonished, and shouted sharply: "Back back and get down!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jingtian quickly turned around, and the whip in his hand rolled toward Ji Xuan unceremoniously.

But Ji Xuan seemed to have been on guard for a long time, his body leaped from the horse's back like lightning, and retreated quickly.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the other people hurriedly backed away.

I saw a burst of flames burst out from the front of those who were kicked by Xiao Jingtian, and the sound was loud.But in a short time, even four or five meters around were affected.For a while, yellow sand rose up everywhere, and the strong smell of sulfur and blood permeated the air.

The bodies of those soldiers were blown to pieces, and the corpses were still burning, giving off a pungent burnt smell.

Xiao Jingtian was vigilant, so when the soldiers approached, he heard a slight sound, which was the sound of the fuse being ignited.

Because he had suffered from Ming Han's hands before, Xiao Jingtian also began to learn about muskets and ammunition, so he noticed the abnormal situation in time.

"You are really insane. In order to kill me, you actually used brothers as living explosives!"

Xiao Jing's celestial eyes were red-threaded, and his words were obviously gnashing his teeth.

"Unfortunately, it almost succeeded!"

Ji Xuan's kung fu is not weak, although he doesn't have a weapon in his hand, but with his nimble movement, he can barely avoid Xiao Jingtian's killing move.

Xiao Jingtian had already drawn out the long sword at his waist, and his strike was as quick as lightning, and he directly hit Ji Xuan's vitals with his moves.

The horsewhip in Ji Xuan's hand is his only weapon, but how can he compete with the sword made of fine steel in Xiao Jingtian's hand, he knows that if he keeps fighting for a long time, he will definitely lose to Xiao Jingtian.

At this moment, those generals who had reacted also pulled out their weapons one after another, and attacked Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan simply stopped resisting, and let everyone place their weapons around his neck.Under the blue sky and white sun, the blades that shone coldly surrounded Ji Xuan's neck tightly. As long as he moved a little, those sharp blades could cut his neck, but he laughed.

"Xiao Jingtian, do you think this is the end? I have already planted enough explosives in that valley. As long as I don't give an order to the soldiers guarding the fuse before Sishi, they will detonate all the explosives. Everyone dies together." !"

Xiao Jingtian's complexion changed, and his voice was cold, "What do you want?"

Ji Xuan is certainly hateful, but those soldiers who were bewitched by him and followed him are so innocent!
His smile was a bit crazy, and his eyes were full of madness, but the words he said seemed to be sloppy, "It's very simple, as long as you kill yourself immediately, I will let everyone go."
