Wang Ao and his entourage walked for more than 20 days with the high hopes of the King of Qin, and finally arrived at Handan, the capital of Zhao. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the moment when Li Mu and all the generals went to the front line of the anti-Qin army to lead the troops, the safety of the people of Handan City and the king of Zhao and the civil and military officials was entrusted to Cao Yue.

Only more than 100 soldiers were left in the entire Handan City to be on guard, and all the 100 soldiers defending the city were a little nervous, because Cao Yue had already issued an order to strictly check the people entering and leaving the city.

Cao Yue knew very well in his heart the burden on his shoulders, if the Qin army was blocked by a frontal attack, he would take other ways, and if the Qin spies entered the capital to create panic, it would be troublesome.

Zhao capital Handan

After Wang Ao learned that he had arrived outside the city, he got out of the car, looked up at the Handan city wall in front of him, and said, "Handan is still the same, the last time I came here was ten years ago."

As they led the people towards the city gate, they were stopped by a soldier guarding the city, who said, "What are you doing?"

"We are merchants who are traveling to the Qin State, and we want to go into the city to rest and see if there is any business by the way."

After listening to what Wang Ao's entourage said, the soldier looked at the carriage behind him and asked, "What is on the cart?"

"goods, and money just earned from doing business".

One of the captains in the city waved his hand when he saw someone coming into the city, and the soldier looked at the carriage behind him and said to the soldiers on either side, "Check the carriage."

The six soldiers walked forward together and began to inspect the carriage, Wang Ao and the others stood aside very familiarly, and the soldiers who checked for a while said loudly: "There are only some goods and a large amount of gold, and no other suspicious items have been found."

The captain waved his hand again, and the soldier said to Wang Ao knowingly: "Please understand more, there is a war ahead, and we are also avoiding unexpected situations."

After Wang Ao nodded, he led the group into the city, first found a post station to rest, Wang Ao settled the people and the carriage and horses, and then took a box and a bag of gold and walked out of the post station alone.

Wang Ao went straight to Guo Kai's mansion, and when he arrived at the door of the mansion, he saw a doorman sweeping the floor, Wang Ao walked up and handed him a tael of silver and said: "Please help me inform Prime Minister Guo Cheng, you only said that the old man is visiting."

The doorman turned out to be in the house, and after a while, he came out and said, "My family Xiangguo invited you to come into the house to talk."

With a slight smile, Wang Ao walked into the house with the doorman and came to the main room, Guo Kai saw that it was Wang Ao standing in front of him, waved his hand and ordered the doorman to go out.

After the doorman walked out, there were only two people left in the room, Guo Kai and Wang Ao, Guo Kai said to Wang Ao: "Why did you come all the way to Handan, seeing that you should have just arrived here, and you came to see me before you rested."

"Yes, the last time I came to see the prime minister was ten years ago."

"Wang Ao, I remember that the last time you came was because of Lian Po's matter, Lian Po actually openly slandered the old man in front of the king and civil and military officials in the main hall, but you came to me again and gave me money and ordered me to drive Lian Po away, I can't help you with your money after receiving your money, you should have been sent by King Qin again to see me this time, could it be Li Mu's turn this time."

"Prime Minister, we haven't seen each other for two decades, even before business, we have to do private things in place" Wang Ao said, opened the box he brought next to him, and said: "I heard early in the morning that the prime minister likes to collect the treasures of the world, this is a rhinoceros horn decorated with gold, jade, and gemstones, I'm afraid this thing can't be found in Zhao State, that is, we don't have a few pieces in Qin State, I'm afraid I can't buy it with the wealth of the entire Handan, if you like it, give it to the prime minister."

Guo Kai took the rhinoceros horn and looked at it carefully, he couldn't put it down, put the rhinoceros horn on the table in front of him and said to Wang Ao: "You are like this, you just want to let Benxiang help you, what do you have to say."

"Prime Minister, you have already said this matter just now, I didn't come for anything else specifically for Li Mu."

After speaking, Wang Ao stood up from his seat and said: "Although I have lived in Qin State for a long time, I also know very well that the people of Zhao State migrated some time ago, and Li Mu set up the resettlement site in Wucheng.

That Wucheng is the location of many scholars and doctors in the Zhao Dynasty, and as far as I know, 30% of the industry in your hands is also in Wucheng, Li Mu did not inform the ministers and you in advance, which does not take you and the ministers of Zhao State into account.

I also heard that Li Mu often framed you in the court and in private, saying that you are a traitor to the party, and that if you don't die, the Zhao State will inevitably perish ahead of schedule."

After Guo Kai heard what Wang Ao said, he slapped the table very angrily, and then said to Wang Ao: "What you said, the old man is very clear, don't worry, even if you don't give me money and utensils, I will solve Li Mu's problem, but for the time being, the king is very important to Li Mu, and because he is out on the march and commands the whole country's soldiers and horses, if it weren't for this, would he Li Mu still be alive today."

Wang Ao said: "My lord, if you want to solve Li Mu, you must try it as soon as possible, now is the best time, because the army has not been able to win for a long time and the domestic resources are too depleted, he has already issued an order to slow down the army."

As soon as the Qin army on the front line retreated, King Zhao thought that Li Mu was victorious, and he would definitely add an official to Li Mu and become a knight, and then Li Mu would be on an equal footing with you.

Li Mushu has the intention of getting rid of you, if he is on an equal footing with you, he will definitely succeed in his conspiracy, so while the Qin army on the front line has not retreated, you should strike first."

Guo Kai stood up and looked outside and said, "What you said is very reasonable, but the old man hasn't specifically eradicated Li Mu's clue."

"What's so difficult about this" Wang Ao walked into Guo Kai's ear and whispered a few words, then took out the package he brought and opened it and said: "Prime Minister, I didn't expect that you and I both have the same purpose to eradicate Li Mu, so this time you have to cooperate sincerely, this is one hundred taels of gold when I give it to my lord Li Mu, I will also give five hundred taels with both hands."

looked at the gold and said, "Don't worry, you will hear the news that Li Mu is dead in less than ten days."

After the two said a few more words to each other, Wang Ao went back, Wang Ao thought to himself: "With Guo Kai here, can Zhao not die, and our army will be able to attack Handan within a few months after Li Mu's death."

Guo Kai looked at the rhinoceros horn and the one hundred taels of gold on the table, and said: "Li Mu, didn't you say that the old man was a traitor and dared to openly contradict the old man, you look forward to the old man's death every day, but unfortunately you are going to die in front of the old man."

After that, Guo Kai put the gold and rhinoceros horn in the treasury and went out of the palace to the palace......
