Luo Dingxi laughed and said, "It turns out that you are just a poor worm, a poor worm played with by a woman in his palm... I ask you, why did he come to you? Did she already know the plan to attack Shuoquan?"

"Actually, you made a fatal mistake, that is, staying in the Governor's Mansion." Ci Xiu sighed: "She is a poisonous snake beside you. When you threaten her, have you ever thought that she will find an opportunity to give you a fatal blow. The Governor's Mansion is her place. You really feel that our words in the Governor's Mansion will not penetrate her ears. In that deep courtyard, no matter what corner, there is no secret to her."

Luo Dingxi suddenly realized: "She heard the wind and then came to you. You, the incompetent pitiful, told her all the details she didn't know about the surprise attack on Shuoquan plan, and became her tool. She secretly colluded with the people of Xiguan and betrayed the general."

"You should know that when facing her, few men can keep secrets." Ci Xiu said slowly: "As soon as Xiao Huanzhang and his son were eliminated, you will reveal your true face to her. Don't you understand that no matter when, don't offend women."

"Do you know that even if you betray me, the people of Xiguan will not let you go." Luo Dingxi sneered: "Whoever is betraying the Lord and seeking honor, do you think the people of Xiguan will treat you sincerely?"

"I never thought they would really treat me well." Cixiu's eyes were sharp and he stared at Luo Dingxi, "But at least I understand that if I do this, I can at least save my life!"

"Just just to save your life?" Luo Dingxi sneered: "If you kill that woman and plan big things with me, you will have all kinds of glory and wealth, but you will give up all this and betray me, just to save your life?"

Ci Xiu looked at Luo Dingxi with a strange look and frowned: "Glory and wealth? But in my opinion, if I really take down Shuoquan with you and offer it to Zhu Lingyue, I will not be far from death!"

Luo Dingxi was stunned, "Do you think I will kill you?"

Ci Xiu shook his head and sighed, "I finally understand that you can take Xiao Huanzhang instead, it is not because you are so capable, it is because that woman is helping you behind the scenes. You can't even see the simplest truth, and it is not suitable to find a place in troubled times." After a pause, he said coldly: "Who is Zhu Lingyue? Yes, if you take down Shuoquan and offer Zhu Lingyue at that time, he will of course reward you heavily. Zhu Lingyue wants to win people's hearts, and those who have made great contributions like you will definitely not move easily, but have you ever thought that Zhu Lingyue has always been a cruel and ruthless person. You want to find a place under his feet, intending to find a chance to make a comeback. Could it be that Zhu Lingyue can't see this?"

Luo Dingxi frowned.

"Zhu Lingyue may give you wealth and glory, but he will never give you a chance to make a comeback." Ci Xiu said coldly: "He will not move you. After all, you are his great hero, but he will never let you maintain your strength and eliminate dissidents. That is what Zhu Lingyue is best at. To weaken your strength, he naturally has to start with your confidant trust. The more you trust me, the more you regard me as the person you trust the most, it has brought me the biggest trouble. The first thing Zhu Lingyue wants to get rid of must be me!"

Luo Dingxi's eyes twitched. When Ci Xiu said this, he had to admit that it made sense.

"You should understand now that for you, the path to surrender to Zhu Lingyue is not wrong, but for me, it is a dead end." Ci Xiu sighed: "If it weren't for that woman, maybe I would really help you take down Shuoquan, then retreat bravely and fly away, which is worthy of your years of trust. But... she appeared in front of me and gave me another path. I am not a person who can withstand temptation, so I can only walk another path."

"She can ask me to replace Xiao Huanzhang, but she can't let you replace me!" Luo Dingxi sneered: "You are destined to be unable to be me!"

"I never thought of being you." Ci Xiu said lightly: "Xiao Huanzhang has a lot of wealth. He died, but that woman was not dead. She has promised me that she is willing to take that wealth with me. In the troubled times, you cannot find a place, and I can't do it either, so walking with her with wealth is the best way for me."

"Do you really believe her?" Luo Dingxi said coldly: "He can kill Xiao Huanzhang, betray me, and also bite you!"

Ci Xiu nodded and said, "I understand, I understand, so I will be very careful to avoid repeating your mistakes..." He sighed, "I am a secular person. People die for money, birds die for food. Facing such a wealth, and facing such a woman, for me, these two temptations are enough to make me gamble at the cost of my life!"

Luo Dingxi closed his lips and stopped talking.

Ci Xiu smiled slightly and said, "I have said everything I should say. I don't need to tell you this, but I am still kind-hearted. You have cultivated me for many years, and I can't let you be a fool!" As he spoke, his body suddenly moved forward and pressed against Luo Dingxi. Luo Dingxi was surprised and felt something was wrong, but it was too late at this time, and there was a severe pain in his abdomen. Ci Xiu had an extra sharp dagger in his hand, which pierced into Luo Dingxi's abdomen.

Luo Dingxi wanted to struggle, his whole body was tied, and Ci Xiu had already hugged his neck, clamped his neck with his wrist, and put it close to his ears, and whispered: "There is only one condition to go far away from her, that is, I must kill you in Shuoquan... I have received the answer from the King of Qi. Even if I take your life on her behalf, I can explain to her, you... don't blame me...!"

Luo Dingxi's eyes raised and a gurgling sound came from his throat. Soon, his head hung heavily on Cixi's shoulders. Cixi looked up at the sky. The dawn had already shone on the earth. He let go of his arms and pushed it gently. Luo Dingxi's burly body opened his eyes wide, leaned back, and fell heavily to the ground.

Luo Dingxi suddenly fell to the ground, and many of the Beishan cavalry lined up saw it, all of which changed color slightly.

At this time, the King of Qi was already standing in front of the military formation surrounded by everyone.

Many soldiers in the Beishan cavalry formation were quite amazed when they saw the King of Qi coming in person. After all, the Beishan soldiers had not really surrendered at this time. If the Beishan soldiers rose up and attacked them at this time, the King of Qi's situation would be extremely dangerous.

The cavalry in Beishan stood solemnly with their own war horses.

The King of Qi glanced at the soldiers and said loudly: "Your performance has not disappointed me. You are still loyal soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. I have said that you will only punish the chief evil and the accomplices will not blame you. Luo Dingxi colluded with Zhu Lingyue and participated in the rebellion. He has been ordered to be killed by my king. You are all deceived by Luo Dingxi. Now I declare that you are all innocent!"

The Beishan cavalry was silent, but the expressions on most soldiers' faces clearly showed that they were relieved. For most soldiers, they could get military pay and support their families when they were beaten to rebels, not only would they suffer from the attacks of the court, but they would probably not be able to get military pay.

The King of Qi declared that everyone was innocent. The most happy thing was Luo Dingxi's generals. Most of the senior generals present were promoted by Luo Dingxi. If the city was successfully captured today, even if they knew that Luo Dingxi was going to surrender to Zhu Lingyue and treason, they would definitely follow Luo Dingxi and obey the orders.

However, today he was in adversity and his morale collapsed. The King of Qi even announced in public that Luo Dingxi was a rebellious thief. Under such circumstances, he naturally did not want to go into the water with Luo Dingxi.

They were still very nervous, and some even thought of letting go, but the King of Qi was lenient and did not punish any soldiers except Luo Dingxi, which finally made Luo Dingxi's cadre and general finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gongsun Chu approached King Qi's ear at this moment, whispered a few words. King Qi nodded slightly and said loudly: "But speaking, although I forgive you for your sins, it is not a glorious thing to attack Shuoquan and take advantage of others' danger. I have always felt that real soldiers should face the battle head-on on the battlefield, fighting with iron and iron horses, and fighting in blood. This is the real manly man. I also know that the defeat of Jiazhou and the reputation of the Beishan Army was greatly affected. I am afraid that many people will feel uncomfortable now...!"

The Beishan cavalry suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

The Battle of Jiazhou was a great shame for the Beishan Army. Although the troops and materials were at the upper hand, they were finally defeated by the people of Xiguan with a trick. Now that I think about it, it was a matter of being blind for any soldier. At this time, the King of Qi didn't open the pot and brought up any pot, which made the Beishan cavalry feel a little hot on their faces.

The King of Qi smiled and said, "In fact, in my opinion, the Beishan Army is not impossible to fight. It is said that the Northwest men are fierce and good at fighting. I have heard of it for a long time, but you don't have a real opportunity to show your skills. Now, I will give you a chance to restore the reputation of the Beishan Army and a chance to make achievements, but I don't know if you are willing to ask for it?"

The soldiers of Beishan looked at each other, and many people were already whispering to each other. However, the generals of Beishan who were standing in front of the formation understood something. One general had asked carefully: "I dare to ask Your Highness, I wonder what kind of opportunity it is?"

The King of Qi did not hesitate, raised his hand and pointed to the west, and said loudly: "Zhu Lingyue has already raised an army to rebel. Of course you have heard that I came to the northwest to quell Zhu Lingyue's rebellion. To be honest, the emperor has issued an order and mobilized troops from Xishan Road and Anyi Road. He has set out to rush to the northwest, which is to wipe out Zhu Lingyue. The governor of Xiguan Chu Huan led the Xiguan army to the order of my king and as a vanguard, and took the lead in going west to meet the enemy. I will only ask you now that the opportunity to make achievements is right in front of you. Are you willing to go to quell the rebellion and find a good future for yourself?" After pausing, before the soldiers of Beishan were talking, he said loudly: "I here to assure you that once this rebellion is successful, I will reward you according to merits and no matter what your background is, as long as you make military achievements, you will be rewarded. Tell me, what are you going to do?"
