Chapter 350
Zhao Mu half-kneeled in the corner of the roof, watching Xiao Beiheng and Ji Yunyan fight swords.

He is just a general on the battlefield. This kind of battle between swordsmen can't help at all, he can only be a bystander.

As soon as the two fought, he could see that Ji Yunyan was superior to Xiao Beiheng in terms of body skills and sword skills, and he was worthy of being the granddaughter of the swordsman Ji Zhong.Although Xiao Beiheng is not bad, he relies more on the sharpness of the sword in his hand.

After Ji Yunyan attacked Xiao Beiheng and got his sword cut off, he once thought it was over for the two of them.Unexpectedly, Ji Yunyan seemed to have prepared for it long ago, and prepared an extra soft sword on her waist.

This kind of soft sword is extremely rare, it may be an item handed down from the Ji family ancestors.In his impression, ordinary people can't use it at all, and it is easy to hurt themselves.When the two swords intersected, Yan Quejian did not cut off the soft sword, but was bypassed by the soft sword and pierced Xiao Beiheng's chest.

Although the soft sword is soft, it is still a sharp weapon. As long as Xiao Beiheng is injured, the two can hold him out of danger.

Zhao Mu was overjoyed, stood up and opened his mouth to cry.

Ding!
The tip of the soft sword seemed to be piercing something hard, but it failed to pierce against Xiao Beiheng's chest, and the sword body bent into a circular arc.

Xiao Beiheng retreated quickly, Yan Que moved forward.

The next moment, Ji Yunyan also retreated abruptly, but only took two steps before falling to her knees and screaming in terror.Her soft sword fell to the ground, and a severed hand was still on the hilt.

Xiao Beiheng raised his sword and pointed to the sky, laughing loudly.

Ji Yunyan failed to injure Xiao Beiheng, but was cut off by Xiao Beiheng's right hand.She seemed to be unable to care about Zhao Mu behind her, she held her right wrist tightly with her left hand to prevent the blood from gushing out, got up and rushed to the edge of the roof, turned over and jumped down.

There was confusion below, Lin Kui shouted: "The assassin has jumped down, chase after him."

Xiao Beiheng ignored Ji Yunyan who was fleeing, put the Yan Que Sword back into its sheath, walked leisurely and squatted down in front of Zhao Mu, and looked at Zhao Mu sympathetically.

"General, before your wife accused you of treason, the widow still didn't believe it. Now that you and Xiao Zhuo's subordinates conspired together, it seems that the matter of treason is certain."

Zhao Mu was afraid in his heart, but the general's habits did not allow him to shrink back, he turned his heart and said angrily: "Xiao Beiheng, it's my bad luck, I want to kill you, but you can't be humiliated."

Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, he called Xiao Beiheng by his name directly, and put on a desperate attitude.

Xiao Beiheng shook his head indifferently, and said with a smile: "The general is a warrior, and he is not afraid of death. What about your family, you only want to die quickly, and you have forgotten even your family members? The crime of treason will implicate the entire family."

Zhao Mu's complexion changed, showing hesitation.

Although his wife denounced him, he didn't hate her.Besides, the two sons were not yet married, so if the whole family died like this, it would be too much for him to bear.

"Your wife denounced you, so you probably want her to die too. But are you willing to bear with your two sons?" Xiao Beiheng saw it and put his hands on Zhao Mu's shoulders, "General, I advise you to think about it carefully. Take a moment. It's easy for you to want to die, but it's not worth it if there are so many people who want to die with you."

After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Mu spoke again, his tone was much weaker: "If His Majesty spares Zhao's wife and children, Zhao is willing to serve His Majesty."

He knew that Xiao Beiheng must have something to ask of him, otherwise there would be no need to talk to him so much, constantly emphasizing his family.He promised to help Xiao Beiheng, maybe Xiao Beiheng would let his family go.

Xiao Beiheng said: "The general really knows the current affairs. As long as you help the widow, all these sinful widows can be forgiven. Haha, get up quickly, the ground is so cold."

At this time, soldiers had already gone up to the roof, Xiao Beiheng turned around and said: "Come here, put some clothes on the general."

Everyone took the two of them off the roof, and Xiao Beiheng ordered: "Help the general to rest, give him good wine, eat and drink as he pleases. By the way, release all the people in the general's mansion from prison, and let them go back to the general's mansion for custody."

It is also imprisoned, and it is considered house arrest in the general's mansion, which is much better than prison treatment.

A sergeant here helped Zhao Mu to leave, and Lin Kui from the street over there led the sergeant from a distance holding a torch.

Lin Kui approached and saluted, "Thanks to Your Majesty, we chased along the blood trail and finally caught up with the assassin on the side of West Avenue."

After finishing speaking, Lin Kui flicked to the side, revealing Ji Yunyan who was tied up.Ji Yunyan passed out due to excessive blood loss, and was supported by two soldiers. Her right wrist was hastily bandaged.

Seeing that her wound was bandaged, Xiao Beiheng turned to look at Lin Kui: "Did you bandage her?"

"The assassin's right wrist was bleeding profusely, and I took it upon myself to stop the bleeding," Lin Kui replied with some trepidation, "I think His Majesty might want to capture the Assassin alive, and I hope His Majesty will forgive me."

Xiao Beiheng laughed, and reached out to pat Lin Kui on the shoulder: "Lin Aiqing, I know that you have always had the habit of making your own decisions. You haven't changed since you followed the widow, but you did a good job this time. The widow really needs it." The assassin is alive."

Seeing that his actions catered to his master's wishes, Lin Kui couldn't help being overjoyed, and thanked him: "It's my honor to be able to serve His Majesty."

Xiao Beiheng said: "This assassin is too dangerous, if she is allowed to escape, it will ruin the widow's plan. You must watch it strictly." The sergeant agreed and took Ji Yunyan down.

After giving all orders, Xiao Beiheng turned to Lin Kui and said, "Come on, go back with me, I have something to tell you."

When the two returned to the palace, Xiao Beiheng took off the dragon robe, revealing the golden silk soft armor inside.

Ever since he was attacked by Ji Yunyan under the city of Shengjing, he has been wearing this soft armor that can resist swords, and the Yanque sword is always at hand, just to prevent Ji Yunyan from assassinating him again.The soft armor really worked today.

"Fortunately, she used a soft sword."

Xiao Beiheng touched the hollow of the golden silk soft armor's chest, and couldn't help feeling a little scared. If Ji Yunyan used a hard long sword, the sword would definitely penetrate through the chest.

But immediately he was happy again, the assassin who threatened him the most had been solved.A swordsman has lost his hand to hold the sword, and he is no different from a disabled person.He doesn't have to worry about it all day long.

"Lin Kui, what happened tonight makes me very happy," he turned to Lin Kui and said, "Tomorrow, after Zhao Mu summons the generals and convinces them, I will personally lead the army to conquer Shengjing."

Xiao Beiheng spoke casually, but Lin Kui didn't dare to follow him, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what about the great general?"

"I will divide my troops into two groups and outflank Xiao Zhuo's army. Zhao Mu will lead one of the troops." Xiao Beiheng sat on a chair and put the Yan Que Sword on his knee. "You are my most trusted subordinate. You stay in the capital." Guard his whole family so he won't play tricks on the road."

Lin Kui nodded in agreement, Xiao Beiheng's move was to take Zhao Mu's wife and children as hostages.However, Zhao Mu was charged with treason, and he tried to escape from prison tonight, no matter which one of them could destroy his whole family.If he wanted to save the lives of his family, he had to obey Xiao Beiheng's orders obediently.

After explaining to Lin Kui, Xiao Beiheng came to Fengqi Palace.The maid told him that the Empress was watching the moon in the back garden.

The autumn night was cold and the moonlight was like ice. Su Mo stood alone under the dead tree with withered petals, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xiao Beiheng was in a good mood, he came behind Su Mo, and put his arms around her: "Momo, it's better not to stand outside in such a cold day, go back to the room and rest with me."

Su Mo in her arms trembled, her body stiffened, as if she was resisting.

"Momo, what's wrong with you," Xiao Beiheng smiled, "Why do you resist me so much, I'm your husband."

Su Mo turned around, lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard about the chaos in the city. Are you going to attack Shengjing?"

Xiao Beiheng nodded and said: "Momo, I know you are unhappy. But in this situation, if I don't fight Xiao Zhuo, Xiao Zhuo will come and beat me. If he beats me, the queen will be Shen Yuexi, and you and I will have nothing. You Do you want to give everything we have to someone else?"

Su Mo didn't respond, but just stood there in a daze.

"I'm going to attack Shengjing soon, and I want you to go with me." Xiao Beiheng continued.

Hearing this sentence, Su Mo raised her head angrily and said, "Why do you want me to go too, let me watch your brothers kill each other with my own eyes?"

"It's not like that," Xiao Beiheng said, "I'm afraid that after I leave, Shen Yuexi will come to the capital again. If she takes you as a hostage to threaten me, it will be too bad for your husband. It's better to stay by my side .”

Su Mo knew that it was useless to resist, so she resigned to her fate and said, "If you let me go, I can only follow you."

"Then let's go back to the room first?"

Su Mo nodded.The two were about to leave when a maid came to report: "Your Majesty, a messenger has arrived from the northern border with urgent military information."

Xiao Beiheng said: "What military situation?"

"Marshal Beidi claimed to avenge his son and has led his army to Beiguan."

This news reminded Xiao Beiheng of what Emperor Qi Ming had said to him.

Marshal Beidi wrote to Emperor Qi Ming that if Xiao Beiheng became the crown prince or ascended the throne as emperor, then the peace treaty between Beidi and Dayan would be nullified immediately.He wants to lead Beidi army to avenge his dead son.

The smoky village and the boy who blocked his arrows with his brother's body flashed through his mind again.

However, compared to the hatred of Beidi people, Xiao Zhuo needs to be resolved first.If Generalissimo Beidi's hatred for him is a lake, his hatred for Xiao Zhuo is a boundless sea.

This hatred can only be released after killing Xiao Zhuo.
