  When Zhao Xie decided to lead the army to attack Jin State personally, he didn't forget to set up informants at home and entrust a series of things to his confidant in order to avoid any trouble when he was away. However, everything he had planned went wrong anyway.

  Hurry back to collect the rebel army, but halfway through, another ambush was killed, and it was simply unlucky to the extreme. Zhao Xian even felt that this world was teasing him, just letting him see a glimmer of hope, and then giving him a hard slap. But if you say he's unlucky, it's not entirely true, because this time, he still escaped under the protection of his confidants, even though he was injured in one leg, he's still alive after all.

  Just like last time when he fled from Lu country, after being injured and escaping with his life, he was hastily sent to the capital of Zhao country.

  "When I return to Zhao, these... these damned rebels and the remnants of Jin's army will all meet a terrible end!" Zhao Xie clenched his fist in anger, but soon he was slapped in the face once again.

  A group of people secretly returned to the vicinity of Zhao Guo's royal city, and Zhao Xu tried to quietly contact the central government. The one who could contact him at this time was, of course, his most trusted subordinate. In the countless cycles before, this person had always been loyal to him, even willing to kill his own parents and children to show his loyalty. However, in this cycle, this person unexpectedly defected to the rebel Yu Shangjun, and after receiving his letter, he brought people to capture Zhao Xu.

  "Your Majesty, I have been waiting for you. I am Yu Shangjun... No, it is the king who wishes to meet with you." The middle-aged scholar bowed to him, with a very respectful demeanor.

  Zhao Xu's face sank as he stared at this subordinate, "Have others also betrayed me?"

  The scholar smiled and said "There is no one else." Once Yu Shangjun took office, those people were found out and settled.

  "Zhao Xu, why did you betray me? Wasn't the preferential treatment I gave you enough?"

  The scholar smiled vaguely and did not answer him, but made a beckoning gesture with his hand.

  Zhao Xu was unable to walk, and was escorted back to his own palace by the soldiers who had previously protected him. Because his leg was still not fully recovered from the previous ambush, he could only be carried, but when they arrived at the gate of the palace, no one else was allowed to enter, and Zhao Xu could only drag himself in slowly with his injured leg amidst the shouting voices.

  Yu Shangjun had been waiting for him there, and when he saw him come in, he let the attendant next to him serve him a cup. Want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Female Lead and Male Supporting Character", "Popular Web Novels" or discuss favorite books with more book friends.
