The path mentioned by the Lord's Father is indeed small. It is only five feet high and three feet wide. Even Zhao Xin is thin and has to bend down and move forward slowly in this tunnel. Some narrow areas have to be used to climb over with hands and feet. The most terrible thing is that this secret passage has not been accessible for a long time. The air inside is dirty and there is a rotten stench everywhere. If Zhao Xin had not achieved his inner information, he would have been fainted long ago.

Now Zhao Xin finally understood why Han Sheng looked gloating when he saw him enter the cave. It turned out that he was the one who did this chore. Now that Zhao Xin is the sucker for him, he naturally cannot ask for it.

The secret passage winds around the city wall from the river bank outside the city, leading directly to the Xiangbang Mansion in the city. Because he was afraid that the tunnel would be discovered by the defenders in the city during the digging, the tunnel was dug very deeply. Zhao Xin crawled in the tunnel for more than half an hour before finally completing the secret passage.

At the end of the secret passage was a wooden board that was happily inserted. Zhao Xin reached out and fumbled for a long time, opened the board, and jumped out. Seeing that there was a box around, it looked like a place where clothes were stacked. It was thought that it was inside the house in someone's mansion. Zhao Xin didn't wait to think about it anymore, touched the box door, and pushed it open, wanting to go out.

It doesn't matter if this pushes away, but what comes directly opposite almost scares Zhao Xin to death. A middle-aged man wearing a collar, holding a crossbow in his hand, looking at Zhao Xin coldly, and the sharp arrow pointed directly at Zhao Xin's forehead.

You should know that Zhao Xin is in his current position and there is no place to dodge around him. The power of the crossbow is even more terrifying. If he is shot by an arrow in the head, even if his martial arts are of high power, he will definitely die.

Although it was night, the moonlight outside the window in the room was bright, and Zhao Xin could see the situation clearly. He saw that the middle-aged man was about fifty years old, with a slightly fat figure and a rich face, but his cold eyes were extremely sharp and full of momentum, which made people intimidate.

The middle-aged fat man looked at Zhao Xin coldly, but did not speak. Zhao Xin was scared and sweated in a cold sweat. He tried to calm down and said in a trembling voice. "Uncle, don't be excited, you are your own people."

The middle-aged fat man looked at him for a long time, but he had no intention of putting down the crossbow in his hand. He only finally spoke in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

When Zhao Xin saw that he finally asked who he was, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled relaxedly, "Why should Mr. Sima ask clearly? There will be no more than five people in the world who know this secret passage. The Lord's father sent me here just to let me contact you so that I can do it."

Sima Xi's face was still calm, but she raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "I'll ask who you are."

Zhao Xin laughed and was about to make fun of it, but Sima Xi browed and suddenly leaned forward. His fingers moved slightly, and he was about to shoot the crossbow arrow. Zhao Xin was so scared that he was scattered and blurted out, "I am Zhao Xin, the commander of Yulin, and I am the master's father's relative. I was entrusted by the master's father to see the gentleman."

Sima Xi then stopped moving, looked a little wider, and asked vigilantly, "Where is Han Sheng, he was not all from him in the past."

Zhao Xin stretched out his numb neck and said with a wry smile, "Han Sheng is a general, a powerful doctor, how could he do such a thankless thing? Of course, we subordinates are responsible for the deaths. Do you think I want to do such a job!

Sima Xi's face cleared a little, then she lowered the crossbow arrow and said in surprise when she heard this, "General Han Shengcheng has become a doctor. Is this a good thing? When will it happen?"

Zhao Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know this, it should have been a long time. I haven't been in the army for a long time, it's only three or four months."

Sima Xi looked thoughtful and murmured to himself, "But that's the same. The last time I met him was four years ago. At that time, he was already a general. It's normal to be a general now. Haha, this guy's biggest wish was to be a general, but now he has gotten his wish."

Speaking of this, Sima Xi suddenly thought of Sima and looked at Zhao Xin with some surprise and said, "Do you say you are the Yulin Commander?"

Zhao Xin touched his nose and smiled bitterly, "Things are indeed the case. As for whether you believe it or not, I can't care."

Sima Xi suddenly asked, "Who is your father?"

Zhao Xin was stunned, but replied truthfully, "My father is Zhao He."

Sima Xi thought for a moment and spoke, "But Zhao He, the newly appointed inner-level official of Zhao State?"

Zhao Xin nodded. Before he could speak, he saw Sima Xi suddenly raised the crossbow again. He was shocked and hurriedly said, "Why are you here again? I've told you what else to do?"

Sima Xi sneered and said, "You are at a high position at a young age. There is only one possibility in Zhao State, that is, you were born well. But as far as I know, Zhao He came from a poor family and did not have any strong background. You can go and cheat the ghost. I will give you another last chance. If you are not the truth, I will shoot an arrow."

Zhao Xin waved his hand repeatedly and said hurriedly, "No, don't talk about something, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, I have the personal token of the Lord's Father. If I don't believe me, I will take it out for you to show it."

Sima Xi looked at Zhao Xin with a vigilant look and said, "Take it out slowly and don't want to use any tricks. This crossbow machine is made by Zhongshan skilled craftsmen. I can guarantee that no matter how good your martial arts are, my crossbow arrows can penetrate your throat before your dodge."

Zhao Xin slowly took out a jade pendant from his arms as he ordered and raised it up, "This is the token that the Lord Father asked me to wear. Please see, Mr. Sima."

The jade pendant is crystal clear, and even in the night, it emits a gentle luster. Even if you don’t understand, you can see that this jade is of extraordinary quality. It is a rare rare thing. Sure enough, Sima Xi looked at it intently and recognized that it was really the close-fitting jade pendant that Zhao Yong was carrying, which was a rare treasure passed down by his mother. Since Zhao Xin could appear here so by chance and have the close-fitting token of his master’s father in his hand, the situation must have been clear.

Sima Xi then made a full letter and put down the crossbow. Zhao Xin was frightened by his tossing and turning changes, and quickly took the opportunity to say, "This... can I borrow a step to speak."

Sima Xi smiled slightly and moved the trail, "Please give me some advice."

Seeing Zhao Xin patted his chest and walked out of the closet with a shocked look, Sima Xi said apologetically, "Sorry for this little brother, I offended this little brother just now, and I have to do it. I hope I don't take it to heart."

Seeing that Sima Xi's attitude suddenly made a big turn of 180 degrees, Zhao Xin hurriedly bowed and said, "Mr. Sima, you are polite. You are deeply trapped in the enemy camp and are in a high position, which is eye-catching. Naturally, you must be cautious in everything, and your daily life is even more like walking on thin ice. It is the abruptness that I appeared in my boy."

Sima smiled happily and stopped lingering on this issue. He just looked at Zhao Xin and said with a slightly moving expression. "You were promoted to Chief Commander at a young age. As far as I know, there is nothing but a prince in Zhao. I think it is true that the Lord Father gave you such a private matter and entrusted your personal token to you. His favor for you is only high or low."

Zhao Xin smiled and felt a little proud, but it was difficult to express it, so he had to change the topic. "It's still important to do the important thing. Mr. Sima, my father asked me to ask you, how many days can Lingshou City last?"

Sima Xi did not reply immediately, but his face darkened and asked slowly, "I'll ask you first, Zhao's army was defeated today, but the losses were heavy. Do you still have the strength to continue to attack the city?"

Zhao Xin didn't hide it from him, but just replied truthfully: "There are many casualties, but the impact on our army's overall strength is not too great. The only headache is that the siege equipment we carried this time was almost completely lost, and it took half a month to build a new batch of new ones."

Sima Xi nodded, looking thoughtful, but didn't say anything. Zhao Xin waited patiently for a while, but couldn't help asking, "Master, please ask me how long can Lingshou's food and grass last, so that we have a good heart."
