When Li Muzheng was full of sorrow, his personal guard Li Kai walked in with a serious face.

After entering the camp, Li Mu quietly sent his guards to Handan City to inquire about the news, and now looking at the seriousness on his face, Li Mu knew that the situation was not very good.

"Any news?" Li Mu asked.

Li Kai shook his head and said

"General Handan is under martial law, no one is allowed to enter, and I don't dare to approach rashly."

Li Mu nodded, at this time Li Mu's heart had sunk to the bottom of the lake, he naturally knew how uneasy Zhao Wangqian was about him, and now all kinds of things made him prepare for the worst in his heart, Li Kai looked at Li Mu's sad face, and there was panic in his heart.

"General, why don't we go back to Yanmen Pass?" Li Kai proposed that Yanmen Pass and even the entire Dai County were painstakingly managed by them, and if Zhao Wangqian really planned to do something to them at that time, they would not be powerless.

Li Mu shook his head and said

"No."

Of course, Li Mu knows that the best situation now is to return to Yanmen Pass, and even if Zhao Wangqian wants to kill him, he will have to consider the hundreds of thousands of elite border troops of Zhao State in his hands, but in the same way, if he really does this, the entire Zhao State will be panicked, not that Li Mu is worried about his life, but that he is worried that the Qin State will take advantage of the internal turmoil in Zhao to attack, and what is even more terrifying is that Zhao Wangqian and Guo Kai will lead the wolf into the house in order to eliminate him as an enemy, and directly open the country to lead the Qin State into the Zhao State.

Li Kai obviously didn't think as much as Li Mu thought, but he simply thought that Li Mu was loyal to the country, and at the same time felt more resentment in his heart. Since King Zhao moved to the throne and Guo Kai took control of the government, the treatment of their border army was far worse than before, and the lack of money and food was a common thing, especially last year, because there was no war at the border pass, Guo Kai even reduced their money and food. If it weren't for the seizures obtained from the previous attacks on the grassland, which allowed Daijun to develop, otherwise they would not have been able to have a good year with more than 100,000 troops in Yanmen Pass last year.

Now that Handan is under martial law, they are not allowed to enter, and thousands of them are placed in this camp outside the city, and no one who looks at it will not feel that this is to treat them, but to be afraid of them.

"This king is really, he even suspects you, the general, if it weren't for you, our Zhao State was either swallowed by the Qin State or captured by the grassland tribes, and now that the country is too peaceful, it will change hands."

Li Kai was complaining when he was interrupted by Li Mu.

"Don't talk nonsense, the king must have his own ideas when he does this." Li Mu interrupted.

Looking at Li Mu's loyal appearance, Li Xingzhong became even more aggrieved, as Li Mu's personal guard, he naturally knew how many difficulties Li Mu had endured to come to the court, money, food, interrogation, placement of people, etc., but he also knew that he was outside Handan City, the territory of the court, and he could only hold back and stop complaining at the moment.

"It's just embarrassing for these soldiers, they haven't seen their families for three years, and now they are only one step away from their families, but they can't see each other." Li Mu sighed.

Li Kai didn't speak again at the moment, but looked at the location of Handan City. Their hundreds of thousands of elite border troops are outside, if there is nothing to be held by the court, how can they be allowed to go outside, and it is their families who are used by the court as a handle, most of the family members of the middle and high-level officers in the border army are all in Handan City, and the fiefdom of the elite Wuling Iron Cavalry in their border army is also in Handan, and their families are also in Handan.

If their border army made any moves, their families would be taken down as soon as possible, so the court dared to display all the hundreds of thousands of troops in Yanmen Pass, and let Li Mu control it for more than ten years.

"Brothers, you may be considerate of the general, we are not afraid of shadows, and when those big men in the court have nothing to do, they will naturally let us go into the city." Li Kai said.

"Hopefully."

Li Mu shook his head and motioned for Li Kai to leave, and Li Kai saluted and left the camp.

After Li Kai left, an inexplicable light flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and then dimmed again, muttering to himself

"I hope the king doesn't make mistakes."

Although Li Mu knew that Zhao Wangqian didn't like him, he still didn't believe that Zhao Wangqian would kill him, after all, now that Zhao was a strong enemy, Qin was constantly fighting on the border.

As time passed, Li Mu took thousands of soldiers to stay in the camp for three days, and someone would bring good wine and food every day for the past three days, but there was no news of letting them enter the city, and the martial law in Handan City had not ended, although the soldiers did not say anything, but Li Mu's heart became more restless.

In the inn.

"It's the third day." Ziyou said to himself.

"Yes sir, Zhao Wangqian is still wanted in the whole city, and those who are secretly involved with Gongzi Jia have been secretly executed, and Zhao Wangqian and Guo Kai have arranged people who are loyal to them into the court, replacing the forces left by the prostitute and Zhao Tong." The Raven replied.

"Three days is enough time for Li Mu and the others to notice something, send someone to quietly go out of the city with Gongzijia's personal belongings, tell Li Mu about the situation in the city, and then send someone to create an uneasy atmosphere among Li Mu's soldiers." Ziyou said.

"No!" Ink Raven said.

"Let's go, follow me to see this son, and bring Xue'er." Ziyou said.

"Yes."

Ziyou took the Snow Maiden and the ink crow to the backyard of the inn, led by a net killer to the secret passage located below the inn, in the secret passage encountered a lot of net killers, they have saluted Zi Yue, in the deepest part of the secret passage is a prison, and Gongzi Jia is tied to the torture instrument, at this time Gongzi Jia no longer saw the appearance of the original Zhao Guogongzi, his hair was scattered, his body was covered with wounds and blood, his eyes were blank, and in the face of the three-day torture of the net, Gongzi Jia had already been numb by the torture.

The person in charge of punishment saw that Ziyou had arrived, and hurriedly saluted and said

"Black Needle has seen Mr."

"Did he recruit it?" Ziyou asked lightly.

"I've found it." The black needle took out a roll of bamboo slips, "Mr. is this thing, this person said that the answer that Mr. wants to know is on this roll of bamboo slips." ”

Ziyou spread out the bamboo slips, looked at the Zhao Guo characters on it, and slowly studied it, and the ink crows and others on the side did not dare to disturb, and the snow girl looked at Gongzi Jia who was tied to the torture instrument with red eyes, her fists clenched, and her sharp nails had been inserted into the flesh.

After feeling the strong killing intent, Gongzi Jia, who was already numb, raised his head blankly and met the eyes full of hatred of the Snow Girl, at first Gongzi Jia didn't understand why the other party was full of hatred for himself, but when he saw the Snow Girl's white hair, his pupils constricted, as if he saw something terrible, and he kept struggling to shake.

"No way, no way.. You. How are you still alive! Childe Jia shouted frantically, his eyes full of fear.

Ziyou closed the bamboo slip, and he already knew where the things left by King Zhao Wuling were.

"Sir, according to what this person said, after he got this bamboo slip, he was imprisoned by Zhao Wangqian before he could get it." Black Needle said.

"Okay." Ziyou nodded and looked at the Snow Maiden, "Xue'er, I said that I would hand over this person to you, now you can do whatever you want with him." ”

The Snow Girl looked at the child and saluted

"Thank you, sir."

"I'll leave it to you here, don't hurt yourself." Ziyou said to the Snow Girl while glancing at the black needle.

The black needle immediately comprehended and nodded at Ziyou.

"Okay."

The Snow Girl looked at Gongzi Jia with red eyes, Ziyou walked out of the cell with the ink crow, and the black needle also walked out after Ziyou bowed to the Snow Girl and explained the use of torture tools. Just when Black Needle thought that the Snow Girl would torture Gongzi Jia, the Snow Girl pushed open the door of the cell and asked Black Needle to take Gongzi Jia with her.

And the Snow Girl didn't want to let Gongzijia go, but to let Gongzijia watch his family all be executed, and he was also recorded by the historians of Zhao as an invincible thief. A large number of people gathered at the Handan execution ground, most of whom were forced to come, and it was Gongzijia's wife, concubines, children, relatives and friends who were waiting on the execution ground.

The historian on the side was shouting the evidence of Gongzi Jia's crime, and his hands kept writing on the bamboo slips. Gongzi Jia, who was trapped in his limbs, listened to the historian's sentence on himself, and the whole person had fallen into collapse, and the best punishment for a person like Gongzi Jia was to let him see with his own eyes that he had been stinking for 10,000 years and was disgusted by history.

Looking at the collapsed Gongzi Jia Xue Nu's heart was greatly satisfied, and with the end of the execution on the execution ground, Xue Nu did not kill Gongzi Jia, but let Gongzi Jia listen to the people's discussion and disgust with him.

Zhao Wangqian, who was in the palace, was discussing with Guo Kai how to seize Li Mu's military power.

"King, if you directly issue an edict to seize Li Mu's military power, what if the thousands of elite border troops he came here are because they rebel?" Guo Kai said worriedly.

"Does he Li Mu dare?" Zhao Wangqian asked rhetorically, "Losing my Zhao Guo's treasure and clan, colluding with Zhao Jia, and selling armor privately, any one thing is enough to destroy Li Mu and his three clans, and now the widow is just under his military power, what does he have to say?" ”

Looking at Zhao Wangqian, who was swearing, Guo happily muttered happily that it was not you who read the edict, so don't worry. Zhao Wangqian's edict had been written, and Guo Kai was asked to read out the military power to seize Li Mu, but Guo Kai was worried that Li Mu would directly reverse and kill him, so there was the above dialogue. I don't know if Li Mu rebelled against Guo Kai, but Guo Kai knew that all the people Li Mu brought back this time were his henchmen and elites, and once they made a fuss and forced Li Mu to rebel, his life really couldn't be saved.

"Li Mu is naturally afraid of the king and does not dare to rebel, but the soldiers under him are all barbaric and vulgar, they don't know what Wang Enhao is, and they are all Li Mu's elite, if these people are not convinced to gather to make trouble, I am afraid there will be more trouble." Guo Kai persuaded him.

In fact, how Zhao Wangqian seized Li Mu's military power and whether Li Mudu rebelled had nothing to do with him, as long as he was not allowed to read the edict.

Hearing Guo Kai's words, Zhao Wangqian pondered for a moment and said

"Now Zhao Kai is on his way back, if the time drags on for a long time, I'm afraid Li Mu will be alert."

When Guo Kai wanted to say something more, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Zhao Wangqian's eyes, and he looked at Guo Kai and said

"Guo Xiang, didn't the soldiers Li Mu bring back this time go home to visit their relatives? If all their families are gathered, will these people dare to cause more trouble? ”

"Huh!?" Guo Kai looked at Zhao Wangqian in surprise, he suspected that he had heard it wrong, he didn't know how Zhao Wangqian could think of such a stupid method, if he really threatened their families, I am afraid that not only would it not be a threat, but it would even force them to rebel.

"Guo Xiang is panicking, the widow naturally won't really kill their families, just threaten, even if they are willing to rebel with Li Mu regardless of the safety of their families, Li Mu will not let them really rebel. As long as you take Li Mu, take off their armor, and then liquidate them. Zhao Wangqian said coldly.

Seeing that Zhao Wangqian had made up his mind, thinking that there was a way to do this, and this matter was decided by Zhao Wangqian himself, and he didn't have to carry the black pot, Guo Kai naturally would not dissuade Zhao Wangqian anymore, even if he said

"The king is wise, such a method is really not expected, the king of Zhao is the blessing of Zhao, the people of Zhao have the king as the king and the blessing of several lifetimes, there is a king for Zhao, my Zhao country will definitely be the country and the people will be safe, the people will be obedient, the country will be strong, and in time it will be able to sweep the Qin country, and then restore the glory of my Zhao country!"

Guo Kai's sycophant made Zhao Wangqian's heart flutter and smiled

"The widow is the king of Zhao, so he can only think of some ways to benefit the Zhao country, and Guo Xiang is still needed for the affairs of the court. Now that this matter was confirmed, Guo Xiang went to the barracks to read the edict of the widow. ”

"Huh!?" Guo Kai's face changed, he didn't expect that he would have to read it out in the end.

Looking at Guo Kai's embarrassed face, Zhao Wangqian naturally knew that Guo Kai was worried that he would become an outlet for those mud legs, and immediately said

"Don't worry, the widow won't let you go alone, you take Zongzheng, Anyang Jun and Wu Suijun in the sect room with you, and the first team of scimitar armor soldiers in the palace will go with you."

"Scimitar armor?" Hearing this name, Guo Kai's heart was a lot more relieved.

Others may not know the name of the scimitar armor, but Guo Kai knows that this is the royal family, to be precise, it is the personal guard of the king of Zhao in the past dynasties, just like the black ice platform of the Qin State, the personal guard of the scimitar armor soldier Zhao Wang was created by King Zhao Wuling at the beginning, and it is also the reason why King Zhao Wuling dared to divide the Zhao State into two and put himself in the center to balance, but unfortunately King Zhao Wuling did not expect that Gongzi Cheng and Li Dui would dare to lead the army to besiege the Dune Palace, and there were hundreds of scimitar armorers left in the end. After that, the scimitar armor was no longer an army in the hands of King Zhao, but a personal guard.

"Thank you, the king, with the two clan members of Anyang Jun and Wu Suijun to stabilize Li Mu's heart, and then use the scimitar armor to deal with Li Mu's possible outbreak at any time, so that they will definitely be able to take them down." Guo Kai said with a smile.
