Under the surveillance of He Lou Pengfei, Ding Xiuran and his party did not leave, so they had to serve this horse master well and "open the way" for him in front.

And Wu Nai followed Zhao Xing, and after a while, he arrived at the defense area of the border army, where the high and thick city wall actually blocked the sunlight in the sky.

Wu Nai couldn't help but sigh, how many more years of peace could this huge old city bring to the Great Xuan Empire?

Zhao Xing politely took Wu Nai to the central command post, which was simply decorated, except for a large table full of maps, there were rows of stools.

Zhao Xing took Wu Nai to the main seat of the command post, and then said: "To Lord Yushi, you can rest for a while at the Zhucheng command post, and when the general finishes handling the chores, he will come to arrange the inspection for you." Come on! Make a pot of tea for Lord Goshi. ”

"Wait!" Wu Nai waved his hand and drove out the soldiers who had just entered the door, and he said to Zhao Xing solemnly: "General Zhao, let the idle people around you avoid it, I have something important to discuss with you." ”

Zhao Xing felt that something was wrong, this Lord Yushi had something important, why didn't he say it when he just entered the city? But Yushi's words still had to be listened to, and after Zhao Xing separated the soldiers standing guard around him, he hurried back to the command post.

"Lord Yushi, there is no one else around, dare to ask you what is important?"

Wu Nai walked to the door of the command post, looked out for a while, then closed the door, then turned to Zhao Xingyi and said, "General Zhao, I offended a lot just now, I hope you don't be surprised." ”

Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted and said: "Lord Yushi, this is what you say! The last general will not dare, the last general will not dare." You're ......"

Wu Nai said: "Let you see the smile, I just played a little trick in the city, I really have to do it, I have something, I want to ask you to see it first." ”

After that, Wu Nai took out a small wrapped cloth from his arms and handed it to Zhao Xing.

At the same time, Wu Nai's other hand had quietly grasped the dagger hidden in his waist...... Although according to all the analysis, Zhao Xing is reliable, in Luoxian City, where the situation is extremely complicated, Wu Nai does not dare to guarantee whether Zhao Xing is still a member of the imperial court, in case he will vacillate between Ding Xiuran and the imperial court?

Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Therefore, according to Zhao Xing's reaction when he saw this, Wu Nai will finally judge whether the guard Zhao Xing is really reliable. If he can be relied upon, then everything will be fine.

If Zhao Xing can't be trusted...... took a desperate risk, took the opportunity to kill him and took away the border city's talisman, used the talisman and his head to deter the border army, and used the 60,000 troops that were about to arrive as the capital, so that the border army knew the powerful relationship. In the end, he promised that as long as they abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, the court would add officials to everyone to stabilize the morale of the army.

In this way, you can basically hold the military power here firmly in your own hands.

Wu Nai had a smile on his face, he watched Zhao Xing slowly open the cloth skin, and then saw what was inside.

Zhao Xing's eyes widened, and he looked at the open cloth in his hand in surprise.

Wu Nai's eyes were also wide, as long as Zhao Xing changed and pretended not to know this thing, he would immediately pull out the dagger behind his back and attack suddenly, taking Zhao Xing's life at any time.

Zhao Xing looked at the things in his hand and said suspiciously, "Lord Yushi...... This is a special arrow commonly used by our Xiguan border army. One of these two is the 'Piercing Arrow' and the other is the 'Ming Di'. Hiss...... How do you have these two things? The format of these two arrows is unique to us in Xiguan. ”

Zhao Xing didn't pretend to be stupid, he had no problem!

"Huh......" Wu Nai let out a long sigh of relief, he let go of the dagger behind his back, and then said to Zhao Xing: "General Zhao, I won't tell you anything, this is what the 'horse thief' I mentioned at the entrance of the city left behind. ”

"What!?There's no reason for that...... Tell Lord Yushi, I don't dare to say anything else, but this deserter, I Zhao Xing haven't come out yet!"

"General Zhao, I didn't say that these horse thieves were deserters. Think about it, don't talk about it, how can they have a chance to take away the armor-piercing arrows?It should be said that they are not horse thieves......" After Wu Nai finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Xing meaningfully.

After listening to this, Zhao Xing pondered for a while, and suddenly reacted to Wu Nai's meaning, he quickly knelt down on one knee and expressed his loyalty to Wu Nai: "Lord Yushi! This is definitely not the last general's doing, even if it is given the last general's great courage, the last general will not dare to assassinate the Lord Yushi sent by the imperial court!"

Wu Nai helped Zhao Xing up, and then said with a smile: "General Zhao, if you want us to die, I think, there are more than 20 people waiting for us in Huangquan Pass." ”

Zhao Xing saw that Wu Nai trusted him, so he retracted his nervous look and stood up, and he said to Wu Nai: "Lord Yushi, although the Xiguan Border Army is subject to Lord Ding, military affairs and command are still under my control. Now that this kind of thing has happened, I can't escape the blame......"

Wu Nai shook his head and returned: "General Zhao, do you think I seem to have come to hold you accountable?" Okay, I'll just open the skylight and say something." I suspect that this matter was instructed by Ding Xiuran, and in your barracks, I am afraid that he has already reached into his hands and feet. ”

"Huh!?" Although Zhao Xing usually didn't deal with Ding Xiuran, he didn't expect Ding Xiuran to dare to do such a rebellious thing.

Zhao Xing was surprised, so frightened that Wu Nai hurriedly looked out the window, for fear that someone would hear the sound.

Fortunately, no one came.

So Wu Nai whispered to Zhao Xing: "General Zhao, listen well, this matter is not suitable for Zhang, you will go down and quietly check the situation of the soldiers in each battalion later." Remember, whether on leave or sick, if a battalion of twenty people is not available, there is something wrong with the battalion. After you find out, don't rush yet, pretend it's just a routine, and then find an excuse to call their head out. Finally, arrange for a few of your reliable henchmen to ambush him, and tie this person up quietly for me first. ”

After listening to this, Zhao Xing whispered back: "The last general understands." ”

Wu Nai continued: "Let's first clean up the filth in the army, and then check Ding Xiuran clearly, although the time is urgent, we must not rush for quick success." ”

"Everything is at the behest of Lord Goshi. ”

Wu Nai nodded after speaking: "Okay, General Zhao, this matter can be done later." Now you can arrange another matter, let me meet with the veteran soldiers who came to report the news from Naxichuan City. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Xing immediately returned: "The last general ...... order"

But as soon as Zhao Xing finished speaking, he suddenly patted the iron helmet on his head and said loudly: "Hey! I just remembered when I talked about veterans!"

Seeing Zhao Xing's expression, Wu Nai hurriedly asked, "General Zhao, what's wrong?" Is there something going on on the veteran's side?"

Zhao Xing hurriedly said anxiously to Wu Nai: "Don't hide it from Lord Yushi! Just now, my soldiers came to report that there are more than a dozen corpses of soldiers lying on the ground in the military prison!"

Wu Nai was shocked when he heard this: "It's not good! Take me over quickly!"
