The pitch-black coffin was slowly helped into Dusong City, and Qi An watched this scene from inside the city gate, his eyes burning like fire.

He raised his hand tremblingly and pushed the lid of the coffin open, only to see his father's already cold and stiff body, and three piercing wounds on his neck, all of which were fatal blows.

Qi An slowly closed his eyes, hid all his emotions, and asked Yao Ke, who was already pale, in a cold voice, "Who did it?" ”

At this moment, Yao Ke only felt a cold murderous aura enveloping Qi An in an instant, following Qi An for several years, this feeling was something he had never had, Qi's father and son have always been easy-going, but he now knows that the more easy-going people start a fire, the more terrifying it is.

Yao Ke deeply understood this truth, so he said respectfully: "The personal guard who assassinated the head of the family has been recruited, he is the person who Da Zhao broke into the personal guard the year before last, in fact, he is an internal guard. The identity of the internal guard was also found on his body. ”

"What about him? Who else? ”

Yao Ke had a lot to say, but seeing Qi An like this, he had to keep his words as concise as possible.

"There are 200 people in the family's personal guard, and my subordinates have sent people to search them one by one...... Now the evidence has been found to confirm that it is the internal guard, and nine people have been identified. ”

After listening to Yao Ke's words, Qi Anben's cold and expressionless face gradually became distorted: "Since it has been confirmed that it is an internal guard, there is no need for a retrial, all of them will be executed, Ling Chi!" Everyone will give me 3,000 knives before I am dying! Also, those officials who are still loyal to Da Zhao, along with their families, don't need to be persuaded anymore, they will all be executed! Cut off their heads and send them back to Chongdu! ”

Qi An had already been covered by anger, and at this time, there was only one word in his eyes.

Yao Ke knew that Qi Ansheng's decision was really inappropriate, so he hesitated and persuaded: "Childe, this is ...... I'm afraid it's not right. Right now......"

"Shut up!" Qi An rudely interrupted Yao Ke's words, "Blood debts can only be washed with blood!" Such bitter hatred, do you still want me to endure it!? If he wants to fight, just come! ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it."

"Come back!" Before Yao Ke could go far, Qi An called him back again, "Not only the family head's personal guards, but also my personal guards will be searched!" Since they were able to break the internal guard into my father's guard, they naturally wouldn't let me go. ”

"Okay, my subordinates understand."

On this day, no one dared to persuade Qi An in Dusong City, and after Yao Ke took the order and left, several mansions in the city were immediately wiped out, and even those officials and their families who were still vacillating, Qi An did not let go.

As soon as this cruel order came out, everyone had only two ways to go, either to swear allegiance to the Qi clan; Either...... He waited for his men to cut off his head, then discarded it casually, and finally sent back to Chongdu.

Under the oppression of death, many officials who had already wavered became firm again, knowing that they were bound to die, it was better to die with backbone, at least Da Zhao would give them mourning.

On this afternoon, Dusong City, which was already on the brink of war, instantly became bloody, and the disgusting bloody smell could even be smelled on the top of the hill outside the city.

Qi An was in the empty room, and the anger in his heart could not be calmed no matter what, he raised the teacup in his hand, thought for a moment, and slowly put the teacup back on the table.

He thought that he was not an irritable person, as early as in Chongdu, everyone knew that he was the most easy-going and best servant master, but this time, Da Zhao had already violated his most untouchable bottom line.

"I will never let go of the revenge of killing my father."

……

In just half a month, the urgent reports were sent to Lingjiang Mansion one after another, Xi Yan put the letterhead back on the bookcase, the letter traveled thousands of miles, and when it was delivered to Xi Yan's desk, the envelope was covered with mud spots.

Xi Yan's fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk, and he groaned slightly: "Qi An and Da Zhao are already like fire and water, he wants to be the king in the northwest, and he wants me to also call the king in Lingjiang to support him, do you say I do it, or don't you do it?" ”

Liu Peiqi frowned, his eyes kept turning, and he replied after a while: "My subordinates think it's better not to respond for the time being." Huai'an is different from Lingjiang, except for Dusong City, which has natural dangers to rely on, almost all other places are flat, and it is not difficult for Da Zhao to fight over. If we don't help him, Qi Gongzishu will make a big move, and he can just help us block it. ”

Xi Yan seemed to be a little hesitant, Qi An had been friends with him for several years, although there were interests involved, but they were indeed friends...... But Da Zhao Tieho is powerful, and Xi Yan also deeply understands that Qi An has nearly 400,000 Northwest Army, and it is better to let him block in front than to consume his own strength.

After weighing the two phases, Xi Yan couldn't make up his mind for a while, and muttered again: "That day in Jincheng, I fell into a dead end, he secretly helped me, I don't want to owe him this favor." But...... Self-reliance is not a trivial matter, and there is no room for arbitrariness. Besides, we don't have a reserve army yet. ”

Liu Peiqi nodded lightly, there was no affection between him and Qi An, and at this time, he was completely thinking about the interests of Lingjiang.

"Otherwise, let's ride on the wall and watch the ...... from the wall."

"No, don't ride the wall."

Liu Peiqi couldn't imagine that this pertinent proposal was refuted by Xi Yan, so he looked at him with questioning eyes.

Xi Yan shook his head and slowly explained: "We...... has long been dead and has damaged Huai'an, in the final analysis, it is Da Zhao's strength that has risen in the end, even if I don't call him the king, then something should be done. Qi Zejun died, if Qi An didn't fight back, then in the eyes of Da Zhao, he would be a gentle and deceitful person. So he had to be king, and I didn't have to. ”

Liu Peiqi frowned, pursed his lips, and nodded: "Then we still let Huai'an's businessmen cross the line, if Da Zhao sends troops to Huai'an, then we will send troops to attack the state capital near Da Zhao and Lingjiang, which can be regarded as returning the favor of Qi Gongzi." ”

"It's okay, it's up to you to do it," Xi Yan instructed the matter and emphasized, "but even if it comes to the point of sending troops, it's just a matter of attacking, don't really lose the manpower." However, Qi An has occupied Huai'an for more than half a month, and Da Zhao still has no action, just a few words of condemnation without pain or itching, and he has more than enough strength to think about it. ”

Xi Yan is in one sentence, Da Zhao is indeed more than enough but not enough.

Lingjiang and Huai'an have been divided by the two great families in the past, and the original elite Praetorian Guard is less than 100,000 left, and the local troops in various places can not be mobilized in a moment and a half, and the Xi family and the Qi family have been planning for a long time, and for a while, the behemoth of Da Zhao has no countermeasures.
