"Click!"

The chaotic footsteps trampled on the branches and made a 'click' sound.

"Hurry up!"

Zhao Yan took the remnants of the royal city guards and chased after the traces left by the border city and others, with an anxious look on his face.

Among the fleeing teams, there was not only Zhao Qian, the prince and grandson, but also Zhao Jia's son Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng not only represents the future of the land of Shenqi, but also the grandson of the king of Chu in the south, which is related to the relationship between the Zhao royal family and the land of Shenqi and even the entire state of Chu.

If the two of them fail, even if Zhao Gen is a child of the clan, it is difficult to escape the blame.

The most important thing is that Zhao Guo, which is gradually moving towards Zhongxing, can't afford to toss at all, so Zhao Zheng will never afford to lose.

"Faster!"

Zhao Yan didn't care about the cracked tiger's mouth, nor did he care about the clothes that were torn by the thorn bushes, even though he tripped over the vines several times, he still quickly got up and rushed forward.

In this attack, Zhao Yan faintly felt a little strange, and the sudden retreat of the enemy was also inexplicable.

Zhao Yan was worried about the safety of Zhao Zheng and others, so he marched desperately.

"Captain, look!"

As soon as everyone arrived at the hill where the border city and others had fled, some sharp-eyed soldiers saw the corpse of Pao Ze and couldn't help screaming.

Zhao Gan's face changed wildly, and he drew his weapon and shouted: "Alert!" ”

The guards of the Royal City did not dare to be careless, and formed a defensive formation and slowly walked in the direction of the corpse.

"Captain Qiyu, he was stabbed to death by a chaotic sword!"

Zhao Yan looked down at the robe covered with wounds, and while feeling angry in his heart, he also began to worry about the safety of Zhao Zheng and Zhao Qian.

"Captain, there's still a corpse over there!"

Everyone followed the bloodstains and found dozens of corpses one after another, in addition to the guards of the royal city, there were actually many corpses of people in tattered clothes and wearing the armor of the Qin army.

It's just that Zhao Yan looked at the wounds of these corpses, but faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Don't care about these corpses, quickly find Gongzi Qian and Xiaogongzi!"

Zhao Yan forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and led everyone to follow the traces, and soon came to the outside of a valley.

"Captain, look!"

There was a soldier with better eyesight, and suddenly pointed to the distance and exclaimed, Zhao Yan followed the prestige, and after seeing the situation clearly, he was suddenly frightened and drenched in cold sweat.

It's just that there are two corpses hanging on the big trees in the valley, which are Zhao Qian and Guo Kai.

"Wow, wow, wow!"

At this moment, the baby's cry came from the valley, and Zhao Yan suddenly felt bright.

"The whole army is on alert, and we must save the little boy at any cost!"

Since Zhao Qian's death is a foregone conclusion, even if he can only save Zhao Zheng desperately, he can give Handan and even Zhao Jia an explanation.

"Captain Zhao, if you want this baby to live, you'd better lay down your weapons!"

At this moment, a voice with a strong Qin accent came from the valley.

Zhao Yan looked up and saw that the baby was lifted high above his head by a big man and made a fall.

"Stop!"

Zhao Yan was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

"I'll say it one last time, put down your weapon and take it, or you'll crush this baby to death!"

Zhao Yan said sharply: "Then how can I guarantee that after I put down my weapon, you will release the baby!" ”

I didn't think about it, but when the man heard this, he said disdainfully: "Although I, the Qin people, are keen on beheading the enemy, there are three kinds of people who don't kill them. ”

"The old man doesn't kill!"

"Women don't kill!"

"Children don't kill!"

"Killing these three will not only ignore military merits, but will be dealt with by military law."

"And I also know the identity of this baby, it is more beneficial for us to stay, if you are willing to lay down your weapons, this baby will definitely be able to live!"

When Zhao Yan heard this, his face showed a tangled look.

What it means to lay down his weapon, Zhao Yan knows very well, but seeing Zhao Zheng being thrown to death, he can't do it.

Just when Zhao Yan was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard the sound of continuous bows and crossbows.

He raised his eyes and saw masked men with crossbow arrows all around, secretly aiming at himself and others.

"There are so many crossbowmen?"

Zhao Gan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

"Even if you don't lay down your weapons, you won't want to run away, what are you hesitating about!"

Listening to the man's shouting, Zhao Yan clenched his fists, even if he was very reluctant in his heart, he could only throw away the weapon in the end.

As the man said, even if he and others tried their best to resist, what could they do?

"Lay down your arms!"

Regarding Zhao Gan's order, the guards of Wangcheng hesitated, but after seeing the cold crossbow arrows around them, they still acted according to the order after all.

In this way, the remaining dozens of royal city guards, as well as Zhao Gan, were all captured.

The mountains and forests are quiet and cool.

Zhao Jia put his hands behind his back and quietly looked at the rushing stream in the distance.

"Rustle!"

The footsteps came from far and near, but Zhao Jia never looked back, but his eyes became a little erratic.

Zhao Yan was escorted to the woods where Zhao Jia was.

When he saw the familiar back, his face suddenly became very ugly, and the doubts accumulated in his heart seemed to be solved in an instant.

"Why, it's you!"

Zhao Yan's voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot staring at the person in front of him.

Hearing this, Zhao Jia finally turned around slowly.

He waved his hand at the soldiers, and then sighed slightly: "You shouldn't have moved into the land of Shenqi with Zhao. ”

The soldiers who escorted Zhao Gen left very interestingly, leaving only Zhao Jia and Zhao Gen in the woods.

"Why do you want to do it?"

Zhao Yan paused word by word, gritting his teeth.

He stared at Zhao Jia with both eyes, as if he wanted to penetrate the heart of the person in front of him.

Once upon a time, he also admired the younger brother in front of him, and he was also indignant at the unfair treatment of the other party.

It's a pity that what Zhao Jia did today still made Zhao Jian feel shocked and heartbroken.

Zhao Yan guessed that Zhao Jia might be unwilling, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so bold that he killed the Handan envoy and his own brother, and even more than 100 royal city guards would be wiped out.

What a ruthless person is to do such a thing!

"So what does my brother think, what does Jiadang do?"

In the face of Zhao Gan's questioning, Zhao Jia didn't explain too much, but just asked lightly.

"Zheng'er will never have an accident when he returns to Handan, even if the prince does not care about you, he will also take care of the king of Chu, and although it seems to be a proton to bring him back to Handan, it is actually extremely safe."

"Even if you have a grudge in your heart, you should not act like this!"

Being able to become the commander of the guards of King Zhao's city, Zhao Gan's loyalty to the royal family is undoubted, even if he sympathizes with Zhao Jia's suffering, he will not allow the other party to do such a rebellious act.

Zhao Jia looked at Zhao Yan quietly and said with a smile: "If I follow the prince's wishes today and order Zheng'er to go to Handan, maybe the land of Shenqi will change hands tomorrow." ”

"I also know that Zheng'er's life will not be in danger when he goes to Handan, and I also know that the prince will not stop because he has been afraid of my merits for a long time."

"Instead of passively parrying, it's better to take the initiative."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jia's eyes became deep and sharp, and he suddenly pulled out the sword in his waist and pointed at Zhao Yan from afar.
