The dawn gradually spread between the heaven and earth, and he couldn't sleep all night, but Dongfang Xin was not tired, but was a little excited. After Zhao Xin left, he did not rush back to the room, but sat in the side room for a long time, with his expression changing on his face, sometimes angry, sometimes excited, but more of a hopeful look.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and a respectful voice came: "General, are you looking for subordinates?"

"Is it Hao Tong?" Dongfang Xin recovered from his thoughts, raised his head, and "come in and speak."

Hao Tong is over thirty years old, has a moderate figure and is a little thin. He doesn't look eye-catching, but his eyes show that this person is calm and sophisticated, and is definitely not an ordinary person.

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

Dongfang Xin was very satisfied with Hao Tong. If he had someone he really trusted in this world, perhaps the person in front of him would be.

Dongfang Xin was very sure that as long as he said a word, even if Hao Tong died now, he would never frown, and would die immediately.

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

Dongfang Xin naturally valued such a confidant. This person who seemed to be unpretentious was the captain of the personal soldiers team around Dongfang Xin. Although Dongfang Xin held military power, he could not bring tens of thousands of troops around him all day long. There was a personal soldiers of more than 100 people in the general's mansion, all of whom had followed Dongfang Xin for many years, and Hao Tong was the captain of this personal soldiers.

Hao Tong stood at the Javelin Office, and the lines on his face were clearly contoured, showing that he was a determined man and a loyal man. His lips were closed and his eyelashes didn't even flash.

"Hao Tong, how long have you been with me?" After a moment, Dongfang Xin finally sighed and asked.

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

"You remember it very clearly." Dongfang Xin sighed: "I remember it is not as clear as you."

"The general has great things to do, but Hao Tong only has the general in his heart." Hao Tong's voice was calm: "From the day he followed the general, Hao Tong thought that even if he followed the general for one more day, it would be a blessing for Hao Tong."

Dongfang Xin laughed and said, "If someone else said this, I would just think he was flattering, but this is what you said, I know, this is what you are saying in your heart, you are an honest person."

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

"You are a person who values ​​friendship. When you just saved your life on the battlefield, you made a vow to follow me for the rest of your life..." Dongfang Xin sighed: "Actually, I have always been thinking about finding a good future for you."

"Without a general, there would be no Hao Tong." Hao Tong said solemnly: "Since this life is saved by the general, it belongs to the general. Being able to follow the general 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 I really have one friend, you will be that friend."

"I dare not do it in a humble position!" Hao Tong immediately knelt down.

Dongfang Xin got up, helped Hao Tong up, and smiled and said, "Hao Tong, I know you have always liked Cuixia. This girl is also interesting to you. I see it and have long been ready to accomplish this beautiful thing."

"General, I...!"

"Don't say much, I will betroth Cuixia to you now. She is the maid in the mansion. As long as you don't dislike her from a low birth, I will choose a good day to hold a wedding for you!" Dongfang Xin said with a smile.

Hao Tong looked grateful in his eyes and said, "Hao Tong is also from a poor family. He is a general who is kind to him and cannot repay his humble position if he dies!"

Dongfang Xin smiled, sat down and sighed, and said, "It's just that I'm going to do something. It's done, and everything is full of wealth and honor. But... I have to find the person I trusted most to do this."

"General, Hao Tong's life, everything is thanks to you." Hao Tong's expression immediately became firm, "If the general has his or her destiny, he must do his best to do his best."

"Okay!" Dongfang Xin gave a thumbs up, "It's indeed a kind man with affection and intention." He waved his hand and signaled Hao Tong to approach, whispering in his ear: "In a few days, Dong Shizhen will hold a birthday party in Beiwang Tower. You can select 30 elite soldiers to follow the guards. At that time, you will be guarding the Beiwang Tower outside."

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

"That day, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be an assassination." Dongfang Xin looked cold and whispered: "Is your knife there?"

Hao Tong: "The sword of Bei Zhi never leaves his body." As he spoke, he had already untied the sword around his waist and handed it to Dongfang Xin. Dongfang Xin took the knife, held the hilt, and suddenly pulled the knife inside. A cold light suddenly appeared, "You are the famous phoenix-mouthed sword. Many people know that you are using this knife. Hao Tong, do you know how to replace the pillar?"

"Stop the pillar?" Hao Tong was obviously a little confused.

"I want you to keep the scabbard outside that day, but the blade inside should be equipped with another knife, and no one can know that your knife has been replaced." Dongfang Xin's eyes were gloomy, "The blade of the Fengzui Knife is thicker. I want you to find a quick knife with a thinner blade, so that you can see from the wound that it is not the Fengzui Knife's wound!"

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

"I just said that one day, there will be an assassination." Dongfang Xin said: "Once the assassination occurs, Beiwanglou will fall into chaos. You must take your people and hurry over there. At that time, I will give you a wink. My wink means your target. You must kill him in one fell swoop while others are unprepared, and you must not let him survive!"

"I remember the general's order." Hao Tong had no other words.

Dongfang Xin stared at Hao Tong and suddenly asked, "Don't you want to know who I asked you to kill?"

"The person the general wants to kill must be the one who deserves to die. He obeys the orders and does not need to know who he is."

Dongfang Xin sighed: "It is my honor to have friends like you."

...

...

In the remote courtyard, the courtyard is full of weeds. There are not many such places in Shuoquan City. When the people of Xiliang captured Shuoquan City, many people left home and left their homes. Many of the owners of the homes will never return.

Silent.

Zhao Xin entered the woodshed and closed the door. In the darkness, a person turned around in the corner. When he saw Zhao Xin, he asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, how are you doing?"

There was no light in the house, and a trace of light at dawn was faintly shining through the dilapidated window. The man was wearing a gray robe and a hat. His eyes were very small and his smile was very friendly. However, he was Dong Shizhen, the governor of Yuezhou.

Zhao Xin had already taken two steps forward and bowed, "Mr. Dong has been waiting for a long time."

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Zhao." Dong Shizhen said softly with a smile: "Dong has been worried about Lord Zhao, but I am afraid that Dongfang Xin will turn against him."

"Don't worry, everything goes well. I have seen 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. When I go over at this time, it hits his mind. He must be very excited." Zhao Xin took off the black scarf on his face and sneered: "He wants to kill someone, I give him a knife, and he is very happy."

Dong Shizhen nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and finally asked, "Mr. Zhao, are you sure he didn't have suspicion of you?"

"Absolutely not." Zhao Xin was very confident, "I had a good relationship with Jinlan when he was acquainted with him, and he still had a little understanding of his temperament. If Chu Huan had not forced me into a dead end, he might not have been able to win the trust of Dongfang Xin, but Chu Huan forced me to have no way out. Dongfang Xin saw it and knew that I must hate Chu Huan to the core... I told him that I wanted to kill Chu Huan, and he must think that I was going to take revenge on Chu Huan!"

Dong Shizhen smiled and said, "Everyone will think this way. Of course, Dongfang Xin would never think that our goal is not just Chu Huan." After a pause, he asked again: "Mr. Zhao is really determined?"

"At this time, does Lord Dong still believe me?" Zhao Xin smiled bitterly and said, "We have a common enemy, and... I have taken the poison you gave in front of you. If you turn against me, I will not be able to survive without your poison."

"Mr. Zhao must not misunderstand it." Dong Shizhen said immediately: "Dong has no doubt about Lord Zhao's character. You are a good man with a promise and a great husband who values ​​love and righteousness. It is really a disgrace to make a friend with a villain such as Dongfang Xin. "

"Dongfang Xin is a false benevolence and righteousness. Today, he is still playing with me as a three-year-old child." Zhao Xin clenched his fists and clenched his teeth. "He claimed to treat me as a brother, but many years ago, he broke up Xiaoyun and I and occupied the magpie's nest. I will break up with him. At the beginning, I swear that sooner or later, I will kill him with my own hands!"

"Mr. Zhao promises a thousand gold, and I, Mr. Dong, will never break my promise." Dong Shizhen said seriously: "At the birthday party, Dongfang Xin will hand it over to you, Chu Huan, and I will hand it over to me." A cold smile, "Dongfang Xin would never expect Lord Zhao to attack him. At that time, the weapon was soaked in the blood-threatening poison, Dongfang Xin would definitely die on the spot!"

"I must kill Dongfang Xin with my own hands." Zhao Xin said hatefully: "It's just Lord Dong, you are really sure on Chu Huan's side? It is said that when Chu Huan was in Yichun, he killed General Mu, one of the seven heroes of the Tianmen Dao. His martial arts are naturally extraordinary and should not be underestimated. If there is a slight mistake..."

Dong Shizhen waved his hand and smiled, "Chu Huan's martial arts skills are high, but he has not yet reached the position of a top master. You should know that there are strong players among them. Even if Chu Huan's martial arts skills are great, he will never escape his life when he meets a real master!"

"Do everything go wrong." Zhao Xin said seriously: "If you are not careful, you will lose everything!"

"The clay pot will never break away from the well, and the general will inevitably die on the battlefield. Lord Zhao, I have already set up a net of heaven and earth. At that time, there will be a top master who will specifically deal with Chu Huan. In this world, the higher the martial arts skills, the faster you will die. Don't worry, as long as Chu Huan and Dongfang Xin die, you will evacuate according to the pre-set route and return to Shuoquan later. I promise you that the military power of Xiguan will definitely belong to you General Zhao!" Dong Shizhen said solemnly: "Everything that General Zhao has lost will definitely be doubled back to your hands!"—
