Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

"Xiang Zhong?" Mi Bao was even more surprised.

Xiang Zhong is Xiang Cheng's nephew and deputy. If Xiang Cheng is Mi Bao's absolute confidant, then Xiang Zhong is Xiang Cheng's absolute confidant.

If Xiang Zhong reported this matter, then this matter might still be true.

Mi Bao waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you bring that Xiang Zhong in!"

A moment later, an officer of the Qin Army, about 25 years old, walked in with a heroic look on his brows, and saluted Mibao respectfully: "I've seen the city guard!"

A look of surprise began to appear on Mi Leopard's face.

This person is indeed Xiang Zhong.

Mi Leopard took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Xiang Zhong, you said that Xiangcheng is going to surrender to Zhao State?"

Xiang Zhong nodded, and said with a sad face: "Exactly!"

Mi Leopard's heart skipped a beat, and an incomparable anger burst out of his body, like a volcanic eruption, nothing could stop it.

Mi Leopard stared at Xiang Zhong viciously, and said coldly: "What's going on, tell me quickly!"

Xiang Zhong was obviously frightened by Mi Leopard's anger, and hurriedly said: "City guard, it's like this. These days, Xiang Cheng has been hinting openly and secretly that I may not be able to defend Liyang City. He didn’t answer. Until today, he quietly told me that he would open the city gate tonight and dedicate the city to that Li Mu. He also said that as long as he successfully dedicates the city, he can be named Qing by King Zhao, and I can at least get one The Lord of the Doctors!"

"Damn you!" Mi Leopard slapped the table hard, with an angry look on his face.

You must know that Xiang Cheng is a retainer of the Mi clan.

Retainers betraying their lord, this is absolutely something that no lord can tolerate.

What is a retainer?To put it bluntly, the relationship between the retainer and the lord is not a simple relationship between the monarch and his ministers, but a relationship in which everyone prospers, everyone loses, and life and death are shared.

In the well-known "Zhao Clan Orphan" incident, the ancestor of the Zhao Kingdom, Gongsun Chujiu and Cheng Ying, two retainers of the Zhao Clan, one was willing to die just to dispel Tu Anjia's suspicion, while the other was bearing the infamy of a traitor and bearing the burden of humiliation for dozens of years. Nian brought up Zhao Wu, the only blood of the Zhao family, and finally revived the Zhao family successfully.

The loyalty story of these two retainers is the best portrayal of the relationship between the retainers and the lord.

Although it is said that it is the Warring States period now, and the era when rituals, music, and evil are not ancient, the relationship between the monarch, the ministers, and the ministers is actually still very important to the world.

Given Mi Leopard's special status in the Mi Clan, Xiang Cheng was able to be sent to assist Mi Leopard, which is enough to prove that the Mi Clan trusts and values ​​Xiang Cheng as a retainer.

But now, Xiang Cheng has a heart of betrayal, and wants to sell both Li Yang and Mi Bao to Li Mu outside the city!

With the relationship between Xiang Cheng and Mi Bao, Mi Bao would not believe it if someone else complained.

But the problem is that it is Xiang Cheng's nephew Xiang Zhong, who is also a retainer of the Mi family, who is suing now, so Mi Bao can't help but not believe it.

Mi Leopard was so angry that he was trembling all over, and kept yelling: "I will cut Xiangcheng into five horses, so that I can relieve my hatred!"

Mi Leopard's roar startled Xu Yang in front of him, and hurriedly said: "The city guards must not speak loudly! It will be terrible if the people in Xiangcheng hear it."

Mi Bao said angrily: "Why, do I still have to endure that traitor in Zhao Cheng?"

Xu Yang hurriedly said: "Of course there is no need for this. As long as the city guard gives an order, a certain person will be able to capture this city and hand it over to the city guard!"

Mi Bao glared at Xu Yang, and shouted, "Then why don't you go quickly?"

Xu Yang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "City Guard, it's not difficult to capture Xiangcheng, but Xiangcheng has a lot of cronies in the army, if those cronies make trouble"

Mi Leopard snorted and said, "You wait here!" Then he got up and went to the inner room.

After a while, Mi Leopard came out again and handed a small half copper tiger talisman to Xu Yang's hand: "This is the soldier talisman of Liyang City. You only need to show this to control all the troops in the city. The city and its allies!"

Xu Yang was overjoyed, he quickly took over the talisman respectfully, and said: "Please don't worry, the city guard, I will go and wipe out that traitor Xiang Cheng, and put his head in front of the city guard!"

After walking a few steps, Xu Yang seemed a little worried, and turned back and said, "Xiang Zhong, you lead your men to protect the city guard's mansion, don't let the Xiangcheng thieves threaten the safety of the city guard!"

Seeing Xu Yang leaving in a hurry, Mi Bao couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

As the saying goes, knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart, I didn't expect that Xu Yang, who looks the most unreliable on weekdays, would turn out to be a loyal minister at the critical moment, while Xiang Cheng, who usually looks loyal, turned out to be a damn rebellious boy!

Xu Yang went there for a long time.

An hour later, a burst of dense footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard.

Mi Bao, who had been restlessly waiting for a long time, jumped up and walked out of the study door, just in time to meet Xu Yang who was leading an army of hundreds of prisoners into the yard.

The first time Mi Leopard saw the deathly head in Xu Yang's hand, it was the damned traitor Xiangcheng!

Mi Leopard was overjoyed, and laughed quickly: "Xu Yang, you did a good job, quickly show me the head of this traitor!"

Mi Leopard's voice stopped abruptly.

A icy sword edge had pressed against Mi Leopard's neck at some point, making all the words below him stuck in his throat, making him unable to utter a single word.

Mi Leopard turned his eyes cautiously, and suddenly found that the person who restrained him with the sword was none other than Xiang Zhong who had just reported on Xiang Cheng!

Mi Leopard was startled and angry: "Xiang Zhong, what are you doing?"

"Bang!" Xiangcheng's head was thrown at Mi Bao's feet, Xu Yang didn't speak to Mi Bao, but turned to look at the prisoner army behind him.

"Second and third sons, we were originally good citizens, but we were mistaken for prisoners and sinners by the tyranny of the King of Qin! Now the opportunity has come, Zhao's army is outside the city, we only need to dedicate the city to Zhao's general Li Mu A meritorious minister of the Zhao Kingdom! The second and third sons, tell me, are you willing to join me in rebellion?"

"What???" Xu Yang's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring Mi Leopard from head to sole, and his whole body was icy cold.

Chapter 554 The Widow Wants to Conquer Himself (Second Change)

It turns out that the real traitor is not Xiang Cheng, but the damned Xu Yang and Xiang Zhong!

The next moment, the prisoner army's answer made Mi Leopard feel like falling into a deep cave.

"We are willing to oppose!"

"Exactly, against the Qin State!"

"Reverse, reverse!"

"Vote for Zhao, vote for Zhao!"

These criminal soldiers were originally sinners of Qin State, and they were the targets of Qin State's legal punishment. Each of them was full of resentment towards Qin State, so how could they stand by Qin State at this time?

Mi Leopard was startled, frightened and angry, and couldn't help shouting: "Xu Yang, Xiang Cheng, the king and I treat you well, how can you?"

An extremely sharp bronze long sword pierced Mi Leopard's chest accurately, pierced his heart, and blocked all the words from his mouth.

With a bang, Mi Leopard's body hit the ground heavily, and blood flowed from his wound, staining the ground beneath him red.

Xu Yang slowly withdrew the long sword at his waist, and smiled at Xiang Zhong.

Looking at Xiang Cheng's head and Mi Leopard's body on the ground, the prisoner soldiers burst into cheers.
