Chapter 613
Just when Zhu Xu thought that the Qin army was retreating steadily and would withdraw soon, traitors appeared in Xiangyang City.

Li Bohu, the governor of Xiangyang, secretly sent his son to Fu PI's camp to surrender, requesting to serve as an internal response to help Fu PI break through Xiangyang.

Xiangyang City, which was originally impregnable, opened a gap because of Li Bohu. Li Bohu reported all the weak positions of Xiangyang City to Fu Pi.

He also discussed with Fu PI the timing of the attack, and the inside and the outside cooperated to take Xiangyang in one fell swoop.

Fu Pi pretended to withdraw, and Zhu Xu and the people in Xiangyang City rejoiced. The war that lasted for a whole year was finally over, and they finally defeated the Qin army.

After the Qin army left, there was a three-day banquet in Xiangyang City. The soldiers and people in the city sang and danced to celebrate the victory.

What they didn't know was that the Qin army came back again and again, and a small group of soldiers led by Li Bohu secretly helped the Qin army open the city gate and cleared the obstacles.

Therefore, the Qin army captured Xiangyang, captured Zhu Xu, and sent Zhu Xu back to Chang'an under the order of Fu Jian.

But during the escort, Zhu Xu escaped. He secretly went to Yiyang and hid in Xia Kui's house.

Fu Jian found out that Zhu Xu was hiding in Xia Kui's house, but he didn't go in to search by force. Instead, he ordered Xia Kui to be tied up. Zhu Xu didn't want Xia Kui to be implicated, so he had to run out and surrender himself.

【Qin Palace】

Li Bohu knelt on the ground, triumphantly waiting for Fu Jian's award, while Zhu Xu on the other side, although his hands and feet were tied, insisted on not kneeling and stood proudly.

Fu Jian said to Li Bohu: "As an official of the Jin State, you defected to the enemy and rebelled before the battle. We Qin State does not need such a person. Come here! Push him out and behead him!"

Li Bohu really didn't expect that he would end up like this when he dedicated himself to destroying Xiangyang City for Qin.

On the other hand, the arrogant Zhu Xu received a reward. Fu Jian praised him for maintaining integrity, loyalty and courage, so he named him Duzhi Shangshu.

For such a result, not only Zhu Xu and Li Bohu were surprised, but even the Qin officials who had always been familiar with Fu Jian's nature were also surprised.

Fu Jian is famous for cherishing talents and loving talents, but all talented and capable people, regardless of race or origin, can be reused in Qin State.

It's just that the surrender was not used, but the loyal ministers of the Jin Kingdom were used, but it was not well judged, because everyone in the court had seen Zhu Xu's performance in guarding Xiangyang. He would rather die than surrender. What do I use?

Fu Jian also took his mother Han's family and his relatives to Chang'an, reconciled with Zhu Xu, and gave Zhu Xu a courtyard.

Zhu Xu stood in front of his mansion and finally waited for his mother, but Han Shi didn't look at Zhu Xu since he got off the car.

Zhu Xu followed behind his mother until they reached the hall. Han Shiping retreated to the left and right, and said sharply to Zhu Xu: "Our Zhu family has been loyal and good for generations, and we would rather beheaded than be a lackey. Have you dealt with your own country?"

Zhu Xu saw that there was no one around, so he said softly: "Mother calm down, it's just an expedient measure now, I am here to serve as an internal response to the Jin State, wouldn't it be more useful than dying? I will definitely be able to help the Jin army in the future."

Han looked at his son suspiciously and asked, "Is this true? Don't forget the whole Jin country for the sake of the prosperity and wealth in front of you."

Zhu Xu pointed to the sky and swore: "I, Zhu Xu, was born as a Jin countryman in this life, and died as the soul of the Jin country. I will be loyal to the Jin country in this life. If there is any disobedience, the sky will be struck by lightning!"

Han Shi nodded and said: "A loyal minister does not matter to the second master, I hope you will not be a sinner through the ages!"
