The dawn of dawn gradually spread between heaven and earth, sleepless all night, but Dongfang Xin not only did not look tired, but a little excited, after Zhao Xin left, he did not rush back to the room, but sat in the side hall for a long time, the expression on his face changed, sometimes angry, sometimes excited, but more of a color of hope.

Footsteps sounded outside, and a respectful voice came: "General, are you looking for a subordinate?" ”

"Is it Hao Tong?" Dongfang Xin calmed down from his thoughts and raised his head, "Come in and speak." ”

Hao Tong is over thirty years old, with a suitable figure, a little thin, he looks inconspicuous, but those eyes show that this person is calm and sophisticated, and he is by no means an ordinary person.

Standing in front of Dongfang Xin, Hao Tong's figure was straight, like a javelin.

Dongfang Xin is very satisfied with Hao Tong, if he has a real trusted person in this world, it may be the 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 he would die immediately.

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

Such a henchman, Dongfang Xin is naturally reused, this character who looks unsightly, is the captain of Dongfang Xin's pro-soldier team, although Dongfang Xin has military power, but he can't follow tens of thousands of troops all day long, the general's mansion has a pro-soldier team of more than 100 people, all of whom have followed Dongfang Xin for many years, and Hao Tong is the captain of this pro-soldier team.

Hao Tong stood with the javelin office standing, the lines of his face clearly conlined, showing that he is a resolute man and a loyal man, his lips are tightly closed, and his eyelashes do not even flicker.

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

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

"You remember it very well." Dongfang Xin sighed: "I don't remember as well as you. ”

"The general has big things to do, and Hao Tong only has the general in his heart." Hao Tong's voice was calm: "Since 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 this, I would only think that he was patting on the back, but when this came out of your mouth, I know that this is what you are talking about, you are an honest person." ”

Hao Tong didn't speak, but his eyes were already grateful.

"You are a person who values love and righteousness, and you only saved your life on the battlefield, so you made a vow to follow my ...... for the rest of your life!" Dongfang Xin sighed: "Actually, I've been thinking about finding a good future for you. ”

"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, and being able to follow the general's side 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 you really have a friend, you are that friend." ”

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

Dongfang Xin got up, helped Hao Tong up, and said with a smile: "Hao Tong, I know that you have always liked Cuixia, and this girl is also interesting to you. ”

"General, I'm ......!"

"Don't say more, I'll marry Cuixia to you now, she is a maid in the house, as long as you don't dislike her low background, I will pick a good day and hold a big wedding for you!" Dongfang Xin said with a smile.

Hao Tong's eyes showed gratitude, and said: "Hao Tong is also from a poor family, the general is gracious, and he can't repay his humble position!" ”

Dongfang Xin smiled, sat down and sighed, and said, "It's just that I'm going to do one thing, and it's done, and there is everything in glory and wealth, but ...... This must be done by the people closest to you. ”

"General, Hao Tong's life, everything is thanks to you." Hao Tong's expression immediately became resolute, "The general has an order, and he must do his best." ”

"Good!" Dongfang Xin gave a thumbs up, "Sure enough, he is a good man with affection." He beckoned, motioned for Hao Tong to approach, and whispered in his ear: "In a few days, Dong Shizhen will set up a birthday banquet in the North Lookout Tower, and you will select thirty elite soldiers to follow the guards, and when the time comes, the North Lookout Tower will be guarded by you outside." ”

Hao Tong bowed slightly, but he knew very well that Dongfang Xin's attitude today would never just let himself guard the North Lookout Tower.

"On that day, if nothing else, there will be an assassination." Dongfang Xin's eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice: "Is your knife there?" ”

Hao Daodao: "The lowly knife never leaves the body. As he spoke, he had already untied the saber on his waist and handed it to Dongfang Xin, who took the knife, held the handle, and pulled out the knife inside, and the cold light suddenly rose, "You are a famous phoenix mouth knife, many people know that you use this knife, Hao Tong, do you know how to steal beams and change pillars?" ”

"Stealing beams for pillars?" Hao Tong was obviously a little confused.

"I want you to keep the outer scabbard on that day, but the blade inside should be equipped with another knife, and you can't let anyone know that your knife has been replaced." Dongfang Xin's eyes were gloomy, "The blade of the phoenix mouth knife is thick, I want you to find a fast knife with a thinner blade, so that people can see at a glance from the wound that it is not a knife wound of the phoenix mouth knife!" ”

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

"I just said that one day, there will be an assassination." Dongfang said: "Once the assassination happens, Beiwanglou will fall into chaos, you have to take your people, hurry over, I will give you a look at the time, my eyes are referring to, is your goal, you must take advantage of the unpreparedness, kill him in one fell swoop, and never let him live!" ”

"The general's orders have been remembered." Hao Tong had nothing else to say.

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 a person who deserves to die, and he obeys his orders and does not need to know who he is."

Dongfang Xin sighed: "It's my honor to have a friend like you. ”

……

……

The deserted courtyard, the courtyard is full of barren grass, such a place, there are not many in Shuoquan City, the Xiliang people captured Shuoquan City, many people left home, abandoned the house, many of the owners of the house, gone forever.

Lonely and silent.

Zhao Xin entered the firewood room, closed the door, dim, a person in the corner turned around, saw Zhao Xin, and asked with a smile: "Lord Zhao, how are things doing?" ”

There was no light in the house, and the dilapidated window slightly let in a glimmer of dawn light, the man was dressed in a gray robe, wearing a hat, his eyes were small, but his smile was very kind, but he was Dong Shizhen, the governor of Yuezhou.

Zhao Xin had already taken two steps forward and arched his hand: "Lord Dong has been waiting for a long time. ”

"Lord Zhao has worked hard." Dong Shizhen smiled and said softly: "Dong has been worried about Lord Zhao, but I'm afraid that Dongfang Xin will turn his face and not recognize people. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Dong, everything is going well, I have already met Dongfang Xin, everything is as we expected, Dongfang Xin hates Chu Huan to the core, and wants to kill him quickly, he must be thinking about how to kill Chu Huan in his heart, I passed at this time, and he must be very excited in his heart." Zhao Xin took off the black scarf on his face and sneered: "He wants to kill someone, I will give him a knife, and he is very happy." ”

Dong Shizhen bowed slightly, pondered for a while, and finally asked, "Lord Zhao, are you sure that he is not suspicious of you?" ”

"Absolutely not." Zhao Xin is very confident, "I married Jin Lan with him at the beginning, and I still know a little bit about his temperament. If it weren't for Chu Huan forcing me into a corner, I might not be able to trust Dongfang Xin, but Chu Huan forced me to have no way out, and he Dongfang Xin saw it in his eyes and knew that I must hate Chu Huan to the core...... I told him that I was going to kill Chu Huan, he must have thought that I was going to take revenge on Chu Huan! ”

Dong Shizhen said with a smile: "Anyone would think like this, of course Dongfang Xin would never have thought that our goal is not just Chu Huan." After a pause, he asked again, "Lord Zhao has really made up his mind?" ”

"At this time, doesn't Lord Dong still believe me?" Zhao Xin smiled bitterly: "We have a common enemy, and ...... I have taken the poison you gave me in front of you, and if I turn back on the water, I can't live without your poison. ”

"Lord Zhao, don't get me wrong." Dong Shizhen immediately said: "Dong has no doubts about Lord Zhao's character, you are a good man who promises a thousand gold, and you are a great husband who values love and righteousness. ”

"Dongfang believes in hypocrisy, benevolence and false righteousness, and to this day, it still plays with me as a three-year-old child." Zhao Xin clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, "He claims to treat me as a brother, but many years ago, he broke up me and Xiaoyun, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest, so I broke off with him, and I swore that sooner or later, I would kill him with my own hands!" ”

"Lord Zhao is a promise, and I, Dong, will never break my word." Dong Shizhen said with a straight face: "On the birthday banquet, Dongfang Xin will be handed over to you, Chu Huan, and I will hand it over." He smiled coldly, "Dongfang Xin would never have imagined that Lord Zhao would attack him, and when the time comes, the weapon will be soaked in the poison of blood and seal his throat, and Dongfang Xin will definitely be killed on the spot!" ”

"I will kill Dongfang Xin with my own hands." Zhao Xin said hatefully: "It's just Lord Dong, Chu Huan's side, are you really sure?" It is said that when Chu Huan was in Yichun, he killed General Mu, one of the seven heroes of Tianmen Dao Dao, his martial arts are naturally extraordinary, not to be underestimated, if it is a little worse, it is ......! ”

Dong Shizhen waved his hand 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 a strong man has a strong hand, even if Chu Huan is strong in martial arts, but when he meets a real master, he will not want to escape his life!" ”

"Retreat is foolproof." Zhao Xinzheng said: "If you are not careful, you will lose all the plates!" ”

"The crockpot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle, Lord Zhao, I have already laid down the heavens and the earth, and there will be a top master to deal with Chu Huan at that time, in this world, the higher the martial arts, the faster you tend to die, at this point, you can rest assured, as long as Chu Huan and Dongfang Xin die, you evacuate according to the pre-set line, and then return to Shuoquan afterwards, I assure you that the military power of Xiguan will definitely belong to you, General Zhao!" Dong Shizhen said solemnly: "Everything General Zhao has lost will definitely be doubled back to you!" ”
