Unfortunately, he needed a key to lock it, otherwise he would have thrown the key to the wooden door inside.

The jailer took a deep breath, used all his strength, and shouted the loudest voice in his life to the thick courtyard wall: "King Zhao wants to kill Zhu Xianggong!" Please help! ”

With that, he stabbed the key into his mouth.

The key to the door lock was the length of an adult's palm, and he couldn't swallow it at all. He could only crouch on the ground and press the key into his mouth.

Soon, the key punctured his esophagus and airways, and he kept spitting saliva and then blood.

The jailer thought that perhaps it would be easier to kill himself with a sword than to kill himself by swallowing a key.

But he thought so, and with intense pain, he stabbed the key little by little until he swallowed it completely.

The signal had already been transmitted, and he thought that this might buy Zhu Xianggong a little more time.

The jailer, who could barely breathe, stood up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and rushed towards the assassin sent by King Zhao with his sword.

……

By the time the smoke rose, Zhao's mother was only a few miles away from the prison.

"Speed up!" The person driving the car did not need Zhao's mother to order, and immediately notified the companions.

He didn't know that this was a signal for help, but the smoke burning in the prison already indicated that Zhu Xianggong had an accident.

Mother Zhao lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked in the direction of the smoke.

She gritted her teeth, not caring that she would offend King Zhao even more, and shouted to the side of the street: "I am Ma Fujun's wife, Zhu Xianggong was attacked!" Please follow me to save Zhu Xianggong! ”

His retainers also shouted: "Zhu Xianggong is attacked, please follow me to save Zhu Xianggong!" ”

The people on the street looked at the convoy in amazement, and some civilians forgot even the rules of kneeling and kowtowing.

Then, they also noticed the smoke.

The butcher who was about to close the stall was carrying a sharp knife, the shopkeeper and the clerk who were about to close the shop were holding wooden sticks, and the old man who was sweeping the door was carrying a broom...... Some people picked up branches and stones on the ground, and some people were empty-handed, and they all ran behind Zhao's mother's carriage.

Farther away from the smoke, Xun Kuang and Li Mu have no official position at present, after entering the city, Xun Kuang and Xue changed to an ox cart, and Li Mu led his private soldiers to run towards the prison.

Li Mu and his soldiers are good at rapid marching, and their speed is very fast. When they saw the smoke, they were only one street away from the prison than Zhao's mother.

Li Mu panicked and shouted, "Speed up!" "Snow's premonition has come true!

"Wait a minute, are you going to save Zhu Xianggong?" A very luxuriously dressed man stopped Li Mu, "Use my horse!" If anyone stops you, light this token! ”

Li Mu looked down and saw that it was actually Pingyuanjun's token.

He clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for Lingjun!" ”

After saying that, he ordered a few people to borrow the nobleman's horse, and the rest continued to run.

Xinling Jun Wei Wuji was puzzled: "How does he know that I am Xinling Jun?" ”

Hou Huan put his hands in his sleeves: "He must have known that Gongzi had come to Handan City." At this time, the nobles who dared to take out the token of Pingyuan Jun and let him ride horses in Handan City were only you, Gongzi. ”

Wei Wuji smiled: "Pingyuanjun is my brother-in-law, he is in trouble, I should help him solve it." ”

Hou Huan sighed: "Childe, I know that you admire Zhu Xianggong's virtuous name, but the person who assassinated Zhu Xianggong this time is likely to be King Zhao, and you, as an envoy of Wei, should not be involved." ”

Wei Wuji sighed repeatedly. Because of this, he lent the horse to Li Mu instead of going himself.

"That Zhao general named Li Mu is a righteous man, it would be nice if he could go back to Wei with me." Wei Wuji sighed again.

Hou Huan rolled her eyes very shamelessly for her son-in-law, and did not expose her son's wishful thinking.

Li Mu's family has been a Yanmen general for generations, how could he go to Wei? Even if Li Mu wants to defect to the Wei State, if he wants to be reused, he can't be recommended by his own son-in-law.

Although Gongzi refuses to admit it, who can't see how jealous the King of Wei is now? How is it possible to appoint a person nominated by Gongzi as a general? Hum.

"I'm worried about Zhu Xianggong." Wei Wuji spun around in place a few times, looking at Hou Huan with a pleading expression.

Hou Huan sighed deeply: "Son, change his clothes and go again?" Never reveal your identity! ”

"Good!" After Wei Wuji got Hou Huan's consent, he immediately changed clothes with the guards around him, and deliberately tore his hair in a bun and rolled it on the ground a few times before running towards the smoke.

Hou Huan was speechless.

Forget it, when the son asks for a doctor, he never cares about the image.

Hou Huan sighed, she was a lot older, and she still had to run on the street with Wei Wuji.

There were also more than a dozen people running like this, and they followed Wei Wuji, all with proud smiles on their faces.

……

King Zhao climbed the tall building in the palace and looked towards the place where Zhu Xiang was being held.

The musicians play the music, and the dancers dance.

King Zhao pretended to enjoy the song and dance while waiting anxiously.

Finally, when he saw the smoke, his heart was full of trepidation and joy.

King Zhao thought, is Zhu Xiang already dead? Is this fire for the purpose of destroying corpses?

At this moment, there was a sense of joy in his heart.

After the death of his mother, he finally became the ruler himself, and any decree he issued was opposed by his father's ministers. Those old ministers relied on the old and betrayed the old, and they had no respect for themselves, and even often mentioned their late brother Zhao Yi.

Facts have proved that the old ministers are often correct, such as Zhu Xiang who they want to promote. But because of this, King Zhao was even more angry and disgusted.

At this time, a servant hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty! Civilians stormed the gates of Handan City. They have farming tools in their hands, probably farmers from the neighborhood! ”

King Zhao said angrily: "What's the matter? How could any civilians dare to rebel?! The guards at the gate didn't kill them?! ”

The attendant knelt down and said, "I don't know why, the soldiers actually let them into the city." ”

King Zhao's angry expression froze, and his body was cold.

He seemed to have lost his strength, leaned on the back of the seat, and was silent for a long time before he said, "Zhu Xiang......"

The attendant sighed in his heart for King Zhao's stupidity, and said, "Yes, they shouted to save Zhu Xiang from prison." ”

King Zhao said expressionlessly: "Why today? ”

The attendant said: "It is reported that Zhu Xiang's family entered the city today and said that Zhu Xiang was in trouble. ”

King Zhao's lips were closed one by one, like a fish out of water, and his head was blank.

He wanted to ask, who revealed the news.

He also knew that there was no use pursuing this now.

At this moment, he finally began to be afraid.

"Give, prepare a car for the widow!" King Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "It's the Qin people who want to kill Zhu Xiang, not the widow!" The widow wants to save Zhu Xiang! Hurry up and prepare a car for the widow! ”

Attendant: "Yes." ”

After King Zhao got up, he hurriedly added: "Let all the guards in the palace come to protect the widow!" ”

The attendant sighed again in his heart: "Yes! ”

When King Zhao was waiting for the palace guards to complete the column, someone came to report again.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's white!! The man was so flustered that before he knelt down, he fell first, "It's white, it's a banner of white!" Just outside the city of Handan! ”

Zhao Wang, who was sitting in the car, had a weak leg, but fortunately he was sitting, otherwise he would have fallen: "Who?" Who are you talking about? ”

The voice of the person who reported it trembled: "It's white." Bai Qi was outside the city gate, and he sent an envoy into the city, saying, "......"

King Zhao could hear the sound of his teeth colliding up and down: "Say what!" ”

The person who reported kowtowed fiercely and said with a crying voice: "I said that I want to use Handan City in exchange for Zhu Xianggong!" ”

King Zhao's body softened.

……

When the Qin army drove outside the city of Handan, they finally encountered the army of Zhao.

Bai Qi was about to start a war, but was stopped by Bofu, who secretly ran out of the city and joined Bai Qi.

Bo Fu has experienced so much, and he has become even braver, and dares to directly interrupt Bai Qi's order: "General, it doesn't seem to be an army, I saw someone I knew." Please let me find out the news first. ”

Bai Qi looked at him silently for a long time, and Bofu bravely looked directly at him, and there was no cold sweat on his forehead.

"Okay." Bai Qi wondered a little, has the sense of oppression he gave people weakened?

After Bo Fu received Bai Qi's order, he immediately took off the Qin soldiers' clothes and ran out of the Qin army's hiding place.

There are actually mountains and forests near Handan City that can hide 80,000 Qin troops, which shows that the national strength of Zhao has indeed decreased a lot.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Boff rushed into the line and asked directly.

The old man immediately grabbed Bofu's cuffs and said, "Zhu Xianggong is in danger, we have to save Zhu Xianggong!" ”

Bo Fu immediately said nervously: "How do you know that Zhu Xianggong is in danger?!" ”

The old man said: "Zhu Xiang's wife is carrying a sword and riding a horse to the city to save Zhu Xianggong." Zhu Xiang's wife can't even hoe the ground, she is holding a sword and is going to fight with people, Zhu Xianggong must be in danger! By the way, Zhu Xiang's wife also tied Zhenggongzi in front of her, and their family had to fight hard! ”

After the old man finished speaking, he wiped his tears: "Young people can't go to Handan, they will be killed." I've lived long enough for my old age, and it's time to repay the favor. Don't go, you're a young man. ”

After speaking, the old man carried the pitchfork and continued to walk towards Handan City.

Bo Fu clenched his fists and immediately ran back to the hiding place of the Qin army and told Bai Qi about the situation.

Bai Qi thought for a while and said, "Lower the flag, take off your black clothes, and scatter forward." If anyone asks, say that you are a nearby farmer, and go to Handan to save Zhu Xiang. ”

The generals commanded.

Bai Qi also pretended to be an old farmer, and while approaching Handan, he told the people who came to inquire that he was going to save Zhu Xiang.

By the time Bai Qi could see Handan City, there were already many more Zhao people in his team.

The city of Handan was very large, and 80,000 people were scattered outside the city walls to hide and be inconspicuous. What's more, the atmosphere in the city is tense now, and the patrols of the Handan guards are also absent-minded.

Bai Qi had a headache again.

He always felt that now that he led his troops into Handan City, he could capture King Zhao alive and force the Zhao clan to set up another capital and King Zhao.

It's a pity that Handan is too far away from the other territories of Qin, and it is also separated by a Taihang Mountain, which is difficult to defend against the coalition forces of several countries after swallowing.

And to hit the morale of Zhao State......

Bai Qi looked at the wilting Handan guards. Maybe if King Zhao is not captured alive, the morale of Zhao will be hit enough.
