The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 229 Building Collapses
Xiao Jingtian waved his hand, signaling to the others to put their knives away, but his blade was still resting on Ji Xuan's neck.

"Why? Why do you want me to die?"

He stared straight at Ji Xuan, asking out the confusion in his heart.

A trace of sneer rose on Ji Xuan's lips, "In this world, if there is one existence that I detest extremely, then there is no one else except you, Xiao Jingtian."

Xiao Jingtian's hand holding the sword trembled almost invisibly, but because the sword edge was close to Ji Xuan's skin, a bloodstain was unavoidably wiped out.

"I always thought that we were brothers who lived and died together!"

When Xiao Jingtian uttered these words, there was a trace of suppressed anger in his tough tone.

"Hahahaha..." Ji Xuan laughed out loud as if he had heard some big joke, "Brother? You are the son of a high and hereditary general, and I am just an ordinary child from a military family. How could we be brother!"

Seeing his undisguised contempt, Xiao Jingtian almost couldn't hold the sword in his hand, he said: "Brother Ji, when you first entered the barracks, you took good care of me, and I am still grateful. You can't help but feel jealous because of this..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Xuan interrupted roughly: "Why do you think I should take care of you?"

Xiao Jingtian faintly had a bad guess in his mind, which made his face turn pale and his breath stagnate.

Seeing that his expression was not good, Ji Xuan showed a happy smile instead, "That's because my boss told me about your identity and asked me to take care of you secretly and remind you. I already knew your identity!"

With a "bang", the sword in Xiao Jingtian's hand fell to the ground.

The reason why he had so much confidence when he laughed at Ning Yuezhao was because he always thought that he was promoted from the bottom by virtue of his military exploits and did not rely on his family's protection. This was the thing he was most proud of for a long time.

But now someone is telling him that the so-called sharing weal and woe is actually just at the behest of his boss, and the years of getting along like brothers and sisters is nothing more than entrusting him with a false snake, waiting for the time to give him a fatal blow.

In an instant, the building collapsed, the Kunshan jade was shattered, and Qianqiu woke up from a dream!

Seeing Xiao Jingtian lost his soul, Ji Xuan felt that the resentment accumulated over the past few years had been relieved a little at this moment.

"Do you really think that you have outstanding martial arts skills and unrivaled military achievements, and that's why you got the position of a general of this rank? That's just an illusion created by your father!"

"You're talking nonsense. The general's achievements in the army for so many years are obvious to all. How can you wipe them out with a few nonsense words!"

Lei Jin couldn't get used to Ji Xuan being so arrogant, so he scolded him.

"Hehe." Ji Xuan sneered, and glanced at Zhao Qianwei, "Am I talking nonsense? Those who have followed Xiao Jingtian in the army all those years know it, right?"

Zhao Qianwei's complexion was also a little pale. When Xiao Jingtian joined the Northwest Army, he was already a major lieutenant, and his rank was one level higher than Ji Xuan's. He was also one of the few people who were told to train Xiao Jingtian back then.

Xiao Jingtian didn't go to pick up his sword, but just glanced around at the crowd with a somewhat dejected look on his face.

Zhao Qian didn't see his eyes move, he felt a little guilty, but he still raised his head and said loudly: "However, I knew the identity of the general back then, but what the old general entrusted back then was not to ask us to take care of the general. , but we want us to help hone the general's mind and martial arts! If the old general just wants to take care of the general and make him a first-rank general, then why send him to this bitter cold place in the northwest and raise him directly in the imperial capital's mansion, waiting for him? It would be better if the throne is inherited!"

His voice was not loud, but he was full of confidence, and every sentence made sense.

Now Xiao Pingyuan has been dead for many years, but it is not difficult to infer his intentions from his actions.

Xiao Jingtian grieved in his heart. It turned out that all these years, his hatred for his father was all a misunderstanding.

He actually thought that his father only had the first emperor in his heart, and he always ignored his son.If he really ignored him, how could he tell others to take care of him?
Maybe he is not a very qualified father, but at least he did take great pains to train him to become a talent.

Before Zhao Qian finished speaking, someone immediately echoed, "Indeed, everyone has witnessed how the general put his life on the battlefield. The general is a well-deserved general!"

"The great general deserves his name!"

"General, don't be fooled by this villain's words!"

Xiao Jing's gray and slumped face slowly faded away, he bent down to pick it up, raised his head again, his expression returned to the pride of the past, and he was a little clear.

Seeing this, Ji Xuan said impatiently: "Don't delay! It's about time. If General Xiao feels that the lives of the brothers in Guzhong are insignificant, then just show off your family background and ability."

Xiao Jingtian smiled sadly, "You have tried so hard to do so many things, just to kill me?"

"Yes!" Ji Xuan became even more impatient.

Xiao Jingtian clenched the sword in his hand and turned it across his neck, "After I die, I hope you will put the overall situation first and let these innocent soldiers go!"

His righteous words were only exchanged for Ji Xuan's sneer, "Don't worry, these soldiers are also my brothers, if it's not a last resort, I don't want to take their lives either."

"General, don't do it!" Zhao Qianwei hurriedly stopped him, he turned to Ji Xuan, "The general is dead, do you think you can still retreat unscathed?"

Ji Xuan smiled, with desperate madness in his eyes, "The matter has come to this point, I don't expect to survive, it's worth it to be buried with a rank general!"

"General!" Zhao Qian didn't see Ji Xuan's madness, so he turned to Xiao Jingtian to dissuade him, "He is already crazy, don't trust him, even if you sacrifice yourself, he might not let us go of!"

Before Xiao Jingtian could open his mouth, Ji Xuan interrupted him, "Do you think you have the capital to bargain with me?"

He turned to Xiao Jingtian, smiling indifferently, "You have two choices in front of you, one is not to believe me, and everyone will die happily together; the other is to believe me, they have half the chance of surviving."

Xiao Jingtian clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, and raised his hand towards Zhao Qianwei and the others, "Stop talking, I will not be able to joke about the lives of my brothers. If you still respect me as a general, after I leave, remember to be loyal to your majesty. Heart II!"

"Haha!" Ji Xuan suddenly laughed wildly, "I heard that our empress is romantic and affectionate, but I didn't expect that even the usually cold-faced and cold-hearted general would be tempted! But..."

Halfway through his speech, he raised his hand and urged: "If you want to do it, hurry up! Otherwise, I will do it!"

Xiao Jingtian's face darkened, and he looked past him, his gaze seemed to be far away for a moment, "I hope you will keep your word!"

After finishing speaking, he flicked his wrist, and the sharp sword peak cut straight at the neck. When the bright red blood overflowed, Ji Xuan opened his eyes wide, not hiding his excitement and joy, but before he had time to laugh, he felt There was a sharp pain in his back, and when he lowered his head, he happened to see the tip of the sword piercing through his left chest, and hot blood spattered everywhere.

And Xiao Jingtian also put down the sword on his neck. Only then did Ji Xuan realize that although he moved quickly just now, he hadn't cut the main artery in the neck. The wound looked scary, but actually there wasn't much blood.

"You!" Ji Xuan's eyes widened, with disbelief written in his eyes, he held the wound on his chest tightly, blood kept spilling from his fingers, dripping drop by drop on the loess under his feet, "How dare you... are you... not afraid..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Jingtian said coldly: "This time you went north, you were full of confidence in the conspiracy. How could you have thought that Ben would come to stop you in person, and Yu Pinggu was forced to retreat? What you didn't expect, how could you have the ability to get enough explosives to blow up the entire valley in such a short time? The gunpowder on the soldiers you used as living explosives just now is probably the only one you have. .”

As Xiao Jingtian's words fell, the sword tip on Ji Xuan's chest protruded a little more, and an impatient voice said: "The time has come."

It was Lei Jin who understood Xiao Jingtian's hint just at the very moment, taking advantage of Ji Xuan's momentary slack, and quickly shot him a fatal blow!
The light in Xiao Jingtian's eyes moved slightly, and the soldiers present looked around vigilantly, but the expected destruction did not come.

"Hahahaha..." Ji Xuan shook his head while laughing, "I originally wanted to gamble, but I didn't expect you to see through, Xiao Jingtian, you are so ruthless!"

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his body was a little shaky, but he still managed to stand up.

Xiao Jingtian looked at him with a bit of helplessness, "Your trick is fake and real, if you don't know that I value the brothers who have been born and died together, why stop me at the entrance of the valley, just trick me into the valley, and then ignite the explosives? Got it?"

Ji Xuan smiled miserably, but did not speak.He thought he could see through Xiao Jingtian's weakness, but he didn't want this to become his weakness.

However, as if he remembered something, he suddenly regained his composure.

Xiao Jingtian continued: "The explosives in your hand were given by Ming Han, don't you expect him to create a big storm in the imperial capital?"

The smile on Ji Xuan's face froze, how could he even know this!
Xiao Jingtian shook his head, and said angrily, "It's just that you hate me personally. I never thought that in order to get rid of me, you would actually collude with Bei Qi and enter the country with a fine-grained plan, intending to subvert the country!"

No matter how dissatisfied he was with Ning Yuezhao, the emperor, he never thought of trapping his family and country in injustice.In his view, personal grievances are personal grievances, and they cannot affect the overall situation, but how can these people disregard the common people in the world for their own selfish desires!
Ji Xuan sarcastically said: "One day in this world, there will be no day when I, Ji Xuan, will stand out. So what if it is subverted? At least... After Beiqi takes over Daxing, he will allow me to be a first-rank general, an extremely human minister. , I am the only God of War in this world..."

Before he finished his wild words, Lei Jin impatiently drew out his sword, and the wound on Ji Xuan's chest was bleeding profusely.He was holding on with one breath, but now he lost a lot of blood and fell down directly, losing his life.

"Even a narrow-minded person like you wants to become a famous general of the generation! Idiots!"

Lei Jin shook the blood beads on the sword peak in disgust, and said disdainfully.

Xiao Jingtian looked at the lying corpse on the ground with complicated eyes, and whispered, "Maybe you were lying, but the time when we worked together is an important memory that I will never forget in my life!"
