Zhu Xiang looked at Yu Xin and suddenly laughed: "I've heard of you, Yu Qing, you are famous for your loyalty to your friends, and you can even give up the position of Zhao Guo's secretary." However, your friend Wei Qi almost beat Fan Ju to death. You hate Fan Ju for forcing Wei Qi to kill, so shouldn't Fan Ju hate Wei Qi? You only care about your friend's life, not how many innocent lives your friend killed. In your eyes, human life is indeed different, so you can't understand me, you can't understand me, hahaha! ”

Yu Xin heard that Zhu Xiang had insulted Wei Qi and angrily drew his sword.

His sword was blocked by a young man.

Yu Xin glared: "Who are you!" He insulted my friend, and I'm going to kill him! ”

The young man took off his hat to cover the snow, and there were beads of sweat on his face as he galloped.

"Yanmen General Li Mu." Li Mu spun and used his body to block the front of the prisoner car, "Zhu Xiang is my friend, if you kill him, I will kill you." ”

When Li Mu learned that Zhu Xiang took the initiative to send an envoy to Changping, he kept sending people to write letters to King Zhao, hoping to return to Handan and escort Zhu Xiang to Changping.

King Zhao didn't know Li Mu, a young general, at all, and directly ignored him.

Li Mu used the excuse of visiting relatives to ask for instructions, and after a few months, he finally temporarily resigned and left Yanmen County.

After Zhu Xiang returned to Handan, he encountered a lot of harassment, and Li Mu was worried that others would attack Zhu Xiang with his resignation, so he lived in Lian Po's house, wanting to wait for the turmoil to calm down before visiting Zhu Xiang.

When Lian Po learned that Zhu Xiang had been arrested, Li Mu came on a fast horse and happened to meet Yu Xin drawing his sword.

"Yu Xin! Your friend Wei Qi tried to unjustly kill Fan Ju, and you also want to unjustly kill Zhu Xiang. Lian Po strode over, "You are really friends, and the faces of the treacherous villains are exactly the same!" ”

Lian Po also drew his sword and scolded angrily: "Come on! Draw your sword! Behold your sword is faster, behold my sword is faster! ”

Lian Po has been on the battlefield for a long time, and the momentum is amazing.

Yu Xin couldn't help but take a few steps back, and was frightened by Lian Po's angry reprimand.

"Yu Xin, although I protect Wei Qi, I also confessed to King Qin that it was really wrong for Wei Qi to almost kill Fan Ju unjustly, just because he is my friend, so I want to protect him. Wei Qi himself regretted not being at the beginning. Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, stepped forward and said, "It is precisely because the two of us are friends of Wei Qi that we should use Wei Qi as a mirror to correct our own behavior." That's all I have to say. ”

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, waved his sleeves, asked people to open the prisoner car, took off his robe, draped it on Zhu Xiang's body, and helped Zhu Xiang into the prison.

Yu Xin stood in the snow in disbelief.

Words are all here, and friends are here.

Pingyuanjun broke with him because of Zhu Xiang?

The prisoner cart stopped, and the countrymen quietly surrounded it.

An old man walked tremblingly on crutches and asked, "Is it really Zhu Xianggong in the prisoner car?" Zhu Xianggong, who rescued 150,000 Zhao people? ”

The Warring States period also respected the elderly, and the old people could not kneel when they saw the monarch. Judging from the clothes of this old man, he is also one of the scholars. So he came to inquire on behalf of the countrymen behind him.

Yu Xin looked at the old man, and for some reason, he couldn't speak.

"Yes, it's Zhu Xianggong." One of the guards said loudly, "Zhu Xianggong was wronged. But even if Zhu Xianggong really killed Zhao Kuo, shouldn't Zhao Kuo be killed? ”

The official didn't speak, but the guard did, which was a violation of the law. What's more, he was sarcastic about the aristocracy and said that Zhao Kuo should be killed.

So after the guard finished speaking, he drew his sword: "My father and my brother were all rescued by Zhu Xianggong, only I did not go to Changping because I was stationed in Handan." I escorted Zhu Xianggong's prisoner car, and I had no shame to see my father and brother again. ”

With that, the guard placed the sword across his neck.

Yan Zhao is a generous and sad person.

This "scholar" is not a scholar, but a righteous man.

An unknown guard, who had been silent during the escort of the prisoner car, suddenly told everyone loudly that it was Zhu Xianggong who had been wronged in the prisoner car, and then suddenly he was about to draw his sword and kill himself.

It was all as fast as an illusory dream.

Blood flowed out, but not the blood of the guards.

A Zhao man suddenly rushed out and said, "Didn't you listen to what Zhu Xianggong said just now?" Zhu Xianggong takes our lives as his life, he will go to learn farming, and he will go to Changping. He is not even willing to kill the people who wronged him, and if you die here, Zhu Xiang's guild will be sad. ”

After blocking the guard's sword, he clenched his bloody hand and clenched his fist at Yu Xin: "I am Zhao Renbofu, Zhao Kuo was killed by me, and all those who came back from Zhao can prove it." Please take my head and return to King Zhao. ”

"Bofu, didn't you stay in Changping!" A Zhao man squeezed into the crowd, "Why are you coming back!" ”

"I heard a rumor that Zhu Xianggong killed Zhao Kuo in Handan, so I came back quietly." When Bo saw his former comrades, a smile appeared on his face, "Zhao Kuo was killed by me, he gave the horses grain and grass, and we could only eat the meat of our comrades who died on the battlefield in order not to starve to death." I finally found the potatoes left by Lian Gong, and I was able to satisfy my stomach, but he wanted to destroy the potatoes, and said that after returning to Handan, he would kill Zhu Xianggong, who taught us to grow potatoes. ”

Uncle sneered and said, "I don't know what that madman Zhao Kuo is thinking, I just know that he deserves to die!" ”

That Zhao Bing gritted his teeth, and his throat emitted a "hehe" breath, as if he had encountered something very terrifying.

His body trembled, trembling more and more, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter.

"Yes, Zhao Kuo, damn it!" He squeezed these words out of his teeth, and then waved his fist vigorously, his face flushed, "Zhao Kuo damn it!" Zhao Kuo damn it! I also have a share, and I also killed Zhao Kuo! ”

He actually didn't participate in the killing of Zhao Kuo, but he walked in front of Bo Fu, patted his chest fiercely and said, "Take my head to see King Zhao, I killed Zhao Kuo!" He deserves to die! ”

"I have a share too." Another Zhao soldier walked out, "I also killed Zhao Kuo!" ”

King Zhao recruited men from all over Zhao to Changping. There were not many Changping Zhao soldiers who lived in Handan, because most of them had to guard Handan. And now Changping Zhao Bing, who has returned to Handan City, rushed here in this short period of time, when Zhu Xiang had just entered prison.

"It's Zhao Kuo I killed, what's wrong?! There is grain and horse meat, and he insists that we eat the soil! Eat human flesh! Shouldn't he be damned! ”

"Zhu Xianggong, who persecuted and saved 150,000 Zhao people, and treated Zhao Kuo, who buried 400,000 Zhao people, Wang is mediocre!"

"Take my head away and release Zhu Xianggong!"

"Treacherous villain! If you persecute Zhu Xianggong, your ancestors will be ashamed for generations! Children and grandchildren will be spurned! ”

"Ahh The old man who was questioning suddenly spat in Yu Xin's face, and then leaned on his cane and sat down on the snow.

He scolded: "Come, kill Er on with your sword!" The blood of Eron will attract wolves and devour the organs and souls of wicked villains! ”

"Zhu Xianggong is wronged!"

"Release Zhu Xianggong!"

"Let it go!"

The emotions of the onlookers were mobilized, they clenched their fists, protected the Changping Zhao soldiers who were going to die, and shouted angrily at Yu Xin.

The voice reached the prison, and Zhu Xiang turned back blankly.

Zhao Sheng also stopped, and he vaguely heard someone shouting "Zhao Kuo should die" and shouting "Zhu Xianggong is wronged".

"Heh, does the monarch I am waiting for want to become King Zhao Li after King Zhou Li?" Lian Po crossed his arms and sneered, "Is King Zhao going to send someone to suppress the angry countrymen?" But the soldiers he can send are all Chinese. Was he going to let the guards kill their own friends and relatives? ”

Zhao Sheng's figure was shaky, and he said sadly: "I knew that it would definitely be like this." ”

Zhu Xiang took a deep breath and turned around.

"Zhu Xiang, they deserve it, what do you care about them!" Lin Xiangru scolded angrily.

Zhu Xiang said: "It is the mediocre King Zhao who deserves it, not these people who have avenged me." I don't persuade them to leave, do you really wait for King Zhao to order their relatives and friends to kill them? ”

With that, he walked out of the prison.

None of the guards who followed him stopped him.

"Father, Zhu Xiang is such a person, don't be angry." Lin Zhen was so angry that Lin Xiangru, who stomped his feet, patted his back smoothly.

He knew that his father must be thinking that if there was really a bloody conflict at the door, King Zhao would definitely release Zhu Xiang immediately.

But how could Zhu Xiang tolerate the people he saved to die for him? If Zhu Xiang was such a person, the people outside the door would not have gathered to die for Zhu Xiang.

Zhao Sheng didn't go out. He sat down on the ground and wept uncontrollably.

"Is Zhao Guo going to die? Is Zhao Guo going to die! Zhao Sheng cried and scolded, "Zhao Dan! Are you going to let the Zhao Kingdom perish! ”

Lian Po patted Li Mu on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go out too, don't let Zhu Xiang be hurt." ”

Li Mu clenched the sword in his hand, his eyebrows and eyes filled with pain.

His family has been a general in Yanmen County for generations, guarding the Great Wall against barbarians, and his feelings for Zhao are undoubted.

But when encountering such a king of Zhao, do these "swords" really hold the country of Zhao?

"Let's go, one step at a time." Lian Po walked out with firm steps.

Li Mu lowered his head and followed.

Zhu Xiang walked out of the prison gate and said to the people who quieted down when they saw him: "If you die for me, I will kill you, and I will kill you!" I just want to save people, I don't want to kill people, please go back! Don't tarnish my quest! ”

"Zhu Xianggong!" Bofu squeezed over and knelt down, "Zhao Kuo was killed by me, I can't let Zhu Xianggong be wronged for me!" ”

Zhu Xiang's hands were tied in front of him, and he couldn't help Bofu up, so he could only sit in the snow opposite Bofu: "No, Zhao Kuo died in battle." If Ma Fuzi hadn't died in the confrontation with the Qin army, but in the mutiny of abusing the soldiers, and died in the hands of me who had surrendered to save the Zhao State, what an insult to Ma Fujun's reputation. ”

"Yes." An old woman, supported by the servant, finally squeezed over, "If my son Zhao Kuo dies on the battlefield, he dies at the hands of the Qin people; If he didn't die at the hands of the Qin people, he died at his own hands. Except for the Qin people and himself, no one should be held responsible for his death. The old woman is Zhao Kuo's mother, and she apologized to Zhu Xianggong for her son. ”

Zhu Xiang shook his head: "You have done your duty of persuasion." Even biological parents should not bear the fault for their children and grandchildren indefinitely. ”

Zhu Xiang stood up and said, "I'm in, you all go back." King Zhao will return my innocence, I will be safe and sound, please believe me. Boff, thou shalt not seek death for me. ”

It was indeed Bofu who cut off Zhao Kuo's head, but now that Changping Zhao Bing is vying to admit that he killed Zhao Kuo, King Zhao should not arrest Bofu to take the blame.

If King Zhao wanted to arrest someone for the crime, he would have found a death row prisoner to pretend to be Zhao Bing who killed Zhao Kuo; If King Zhao wanted to settle the matter, he would give a strong order, and Zhao Kuo would be killed by the Qin soldiers, die on the battlefield, and die as he deserved, at least at the last moment of his life, without tarnishing the glory of his father Ma Fujun.

Others can use Ma Fujun's prestige to force King Zhao to punish those who killed Zhao Kuo, and King Zhao can also use Ma Fujun's prestige to silence these people.

But King Zhao didn't do that.

Zhu Xiang kept bending down to thank the crowd, and then walked back to the prison.

Lian Po said: "Let's go back." Your Zhu Xianggong values your life so much, and no matter which of you dies, he will be very sad. So love him, and don't make him sad. ”

Lian Po bowed to the crowd, and then escorted Zhu Xiang back to prison with Li Mu.

The crowd stood in front of the prison for a long time, not making any more noise, but also not leaving.

Snow covered the top of their heads and shoulders, and from a distance, they looked like immobile statues.

Yu Xin wiped the spit off his face. He glanced at the prison door, and instead of going inside, he turned and went to the palace.

He needed to inform King Zhao about this. Things are out of their control, and Zhu Xiang's reputation will affect Zhao's popularity whether he is released or killed.

Yu Xin was very confused, he boasted that he was as talented and intelligent as Lin Xiangru once was, but he really didn't know what to do now.

When the heavy snow covered the entire city of Handan, the people outside the prison finally dispersed, and King Zhao already knew about it.

King Zhao panicked: "How can this be good?" How good is that? Why are so many people gathered for Zhu Xiang? Could it be that Zhu Xiang is really a spy of the Qin people, and the Qin people sent them? ”

Yu Xin, who had always believed that Zhu Xiang should not be reused, was stunned when he heard King Zhao's words.

He raised his head and looked at King Zhao's expression.

In addition to panic, King Zhao's expression also contained anger and disgust.

Seeing King Zhao's expression, Yu Xin finally understood one thing.

King Zhao supported him, not believing his words. On the contrary, perhaps King Zhao knew that Zhu Xiang had really made great contributions and had a high reputation in Zhao State.
