Nie Xin wiped his sweat, gritted his teeth and went in.
There was a sudden discussion behind him, which made Nie Xin a little annoyed.
Isn't it just that the palace commander summoned him, can he still eat people?
As the first person to enter, Nie Xin still had a sense of luck.
No matter why he summoned everyone in such a hurry, maybe Sun An would be merciful to the first person to enter.
But as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Nie Xin knew that he was wrong.
Sun An was sitting in the middle with a sullen face. Two iron swords had been unsheathed and placed within reach. The sharpness of these two swords had already spread throughout the world. Some people swore that they had seen the bowl-mouthed wooden stakes used by Sun An to practice his sword skills.
Cut off.
Nie Xin couldn't help but touch his neck. It was made of flesh and blood. If he put the sword on it and polished it, the head would be separated from the neck.
Not to mention the ten soldiers on the left and right who were watching eagerly with swords in their hands.
"See the Lord Commander!"
Nie Xin walked up to Sun An and saluted respectfully.
But before I got up, I decided to feel a chill in my neck.
Without looking, just from the coolness and weight, Nie Xin knew that Sun An had placed one of the iron swords on his neck.
The coolness coming from the sword made Nie Xin breathe quickly, and he knelt down without hesitation.
"Commander, is this...?"
The sword followed him like a shadow, still pressing on Nie Xin's neck.
"I have decided to defect to the Song Army. Do you have any objections?"
Sun An got straight to the point and his hands were fairly steady.
"Swear to the death to follow the Commander-in-Chief!"
Nie Xin responded without hesitation. He knew in his heart that as long as Sun An shook his hand at this moment, his life would be sealed.
What Jin State, what Tian Hu, go to hell!
Nie Xin took the initiative to swear a poisonous oath without asking Sun An to show his absolute loyalty.
Sun An raised his hand and took back the sword.
"Get up." Sun An shouted: "Here, tell Feng Qi to come in!"
Nie Xin got up in a hurry and stood next to the soldiers. Why Sun An suddenly defected to the Song army? Nie Xin didn't know, but at least his life was protected now, and the black and white impermanence seemed to have left him temporarily.
Nie Xin and Sun An's soldiers looked at the door eagerly.
The change of roles made him feel a little proud.
There are advantages to being the first one in!
And dozens of breaths later, when Nie Xin saw Feng Qi's head rolling on the ground, he was very happy that he had made the right choice.
Feng Qi just asked after hearing Sun An's decision: "Commander, why did you defect to the Song Army?"
Sun An did not answer, but his hands shook.
"This sword is indeed very sharp."
Nie Xin looked at his possible fate and his heart beat wildly.
"Come here, put the body aside and ask Jin Zhen to come in."
The soldiers carried out the orders expressionlessly, and Feng Qi's head was lifted into the corner like a ball.
By the time the soldiers stood up again, Jin Zhen had already come in with sweat in his eyes.
Nie Xin, who was standing aside, glanced at him. The headless corpse on the ground almost made Jin Zhen's nerves break.
This time Sun An didn't even use his sword, but directly made the fateful decision.
Jin Zhen suddenly realized what Nie Xin's eyes meant, and immediately rushed in front of Sun An and swore allegiance.
"Why don't you ask me why I do this?"
Sun An suddenly said such a sentence, which almost made Jin Zhen pee.
Jin Zhen recognized the clothing of the headless corpse on the ground, it was Feng Qi who came in last.
"The palace commander has always been wise and powerful, and there is no objection to his humble position!"
Jin Zhen's decisive response made Sun An quite satisfied.
"Stand aside. Someone, ask Pan Xun to come in!"
Jin Zhen and Nie Xin looked at each other and knew that they had passed the gate of hell once, and their lives were saved.
As soon as Pan Xun came in, Jin Zhen and Nie Xin looked at each other fiercely. Pan Xun understood and quickly gained Sun An's trust and joined Jin Zhen and Nie Xin's team.
"Who else is outside the door?" Sun An asked impatiently.
Nie Xin bowed first: "There are also Hu Mai and Xue Can."
"Call us in together." Sun An shouted: "Time is tight and we can't afford to waste it!"
Pan Xun suddenly realized that if the Commander-in-Chief wanted to defect to the Song Army, he could not go there empty-handed. Who would be the gift to the Commander-in-Chief?
Could it be Sun Qi, the general who defended the city?
Thinking of this, Pan Xun broke into white hair and sweat.
With the help of "experienced people", Hu Mai and Xue Can quickly understood how they should respond to Sun An, and someone's body on the ground was still warm.
"Very good!" Sun An seemed to be quite satisfied with the result, and glanced at everyone: "Since I want to defect to the Song Army, I want to give you a clear path, and of course there will be no room for hesitation..."
As he spoke, Sun An pointed the sword in his hand at the headless corpse on the ground: "You are all very well... you are all very well. Time is running out, so I will tell you what needs to be done next."
Nie Xin, Jin Zhen, Pan Xun, Hu Mai, Xue Can and other five people said in unison: "No matter what the palace commander orders, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Sun An waved his hand: "I know your loyalty, but it's better to let you know what happened in Washeng State recently."
Washengzhou!
Nie Xin, Jin Zhen, Pan Xun, Hu Mai, Xue Can and the other five people took a deep breath, something happened in Wei Shengzhou!
However, what Sun An will say next will make them feel relieved.
"Tian Bao and Tian Biao were killed. Someone is plotting for the throne behind the scenes."
Sun An has decided to defect to the Song army, so naturally he will not call the two kings and the three kings, but directly address them by their names.
"Weisheng Prefecture should be in chaos by now, and Tian Hu himself is in danger." Sun An was definitely not trying to scare the five people in front of him: "To tell you the truth, Tian Hu sent someone to send a handwritten letter and secretly transferred the national master and the commander back.
.”
After finishing speaking, Sun An added: "The messenger has been killed by my commander."
Nie Xin, Jin Zhen, Pan Xun, Hu Mai, Xue Can and other five people were stunned by the explosive news thrown out by Sun An, but they did not forget to express their loyalty, but this time, they were sincere.
"We support the Commander-in-Chief without any second thoughts!"
Tian Hu couldn't protect himself, and the Jin Kingdom would be wiped out in a blink of an eye. Of course, he had to go to the winning side at this time, so why not get out of the pit of fire?
Nie Xin, Jin Zhen, Pan Xun, Hu Mai, Xue Can and the other five people suddenly felt a sense of pride. Sun An called them here because he thought highly of them. As he said before, he showed them a clear path.
Sun An nodded with satisfaction: "Since we have decided to defect to the Song Army, of course we cannot leave empty-handed, so we will treat Zhaode City... as a meeting gift!"
What Nie Xin, Jin Zhen, Pan Xun, Hu Mai, Xue Can and other five people did not expect was that Sun An's target was not Sun Qi alone, but he wanted to give the entire Zhaode City to the Song Army.
How much credit should this deserve?
The five people suddenly became excited.
"Most of the soldiers in the city are the reinforcements we brought!" Xue Can jumped out first: "In terms of military strength, we have the advantage!"
"Lie the guards of Zhaode City here and catch turtles in a jar!" Nie Xin put forward his own suggestion.
"First of all, we must kill that Sun Qi!" Jin Zhen was not far behind: "A snake cannot survive without a head. Without Sun Qi, the city will be in chaos!"
Pan Xun and Hu Mai also said: "It's not too late. Let's give the instructions quietly now. Waiting until tomorrow will be too late. It will be done tonight!"
"What you said is very good." Sun An also became more energetic: "This is what I think..."
After a while, Nie Xin, Jin Zhen, Pan Xun, Hu Mai, Xue Can and other five people left quickly and began to carry out the tasks assigned by Sun An, while Sun An ordered his men to prepare their horses and came alone to find Sun Qi, the general who defended the city.
As for this courtyard, Sun An ordered his soldiers to strictly block it and kill anyone who came.
Sun Qi was having a good time at home, watching the moon rise slowly, but she couldn't swallow the dishes on the table.
How many days can Zhaode City be defended? To be honest, Sun Qi has no idea at all.
But what he didn't expect was that Sun An, who had been depressed before, suddenly came to visit, which gave him a glimmer of hope.
"Please invite the commander in quickly!" Sun Qi ordered in surprise: "Prepare another set of bowls and chopsticks!"
Sun An soon appeared in front of Sun Qi, with a calm expression, as if he had come out of Qiao Daoqing's mood of surrendering to the enemy; but the rare double-blade iron sword was slung behind his back, which surprised Sun Qi.
"Everything in the world is unpredictable, so the Commander-in-Chief still sits down..."
Just as Sun Qi stood up, she was interrupted by Sun An.
"General Sun, please stand back." Sun An frowned as he looked at the dishes on the table. He did not sit down, nor did he take off the two iron swords. Instead, he spread his legs apart, crossed his arms with his chest, and stood ready.
His posture: "I have a secret letter from Wei Shengzhou and I have something important to tell you."
After hearing the words "Weishengzhou Secret Letter", Sun Qi shouted back: "No one is allowed in without a summons! Guard the house three feet away! No matter who comes, they will be kept out!"
The soldiers only retreated, and Sun Qi cupped his hands and said, "I would like to hear the details."
"Tian Bao Tian Biao was killed by Black Tornado Li Kui, and Wei Sheng Prefecture is in chaos." Sun An told the facts, but concealed the fact that Tian Hu secretly transferred himself and Qiao Daoqing to return: "General Sun, what do you think?
?”
Sun Qi was shocked: "Does the Commander-in-Chief really mean what he said?"
"Everything is true." Sun An said without blinking.
Sun Qi slumped down on the chair: "How could this be? Li Kui is just a brother of Song Jiang, how could it be possible... Those are the second and third kings! What did the king say?"
"Your Majesty ordered that Zhaode Mansion be abandoned and all soldiers return to Weisheng Prefecture!"
Sun An said the planned words without blinking an eye.
Sun Qi suddenly jumped up from the chair again, and seemed a little excited: "Zhaode Mansion is the right-hand man of Wei Shengzhou, how can you just abandon it?"
"Something happened in Weisheng Province..." Sun An's tone was very calm, but unusually sure: "If something happens to the king, what's the use of Zhaode Mansion?"
Sun Qi frowned and said: "Such a big move... Commander, does the king have any intention?"
"No." Of course Sun An couldn't come up with any intention.
Sun Qi's face suddenly looked a little inappropriate.
