The person who helped Zhang Da and others open the city gate did not respond, but tried to help them clear a way as much as possible, Zhang Da also knew that now was not the time to repay the favor, so he took the Wuling Iron Horse to cover the rest of the family and evacuate outside the city.

After some fighting, Zhang Da led his family to rush out of Handan City, and the three thousand Wuling Iron Cavalry also lost two or three hundred people.

"Come with me!" The net killer disguised as a janissary waved at Zhang Dayi and said.

Zhang Da hesitated for a few moments at first, but thinking that they had made such a big mess today, Zhao Guo had no place for them, so he left half of the people responsible for blocking the enemy, and led everyone to follow the net killer and headed towards a deep mountain outside Handan City.

After the battle in the city ended, Lieutenant Wei Cai came out of the protection of the guards, and when he saw the Wuling Iron Cavalry fleeing, Lieutenant Wei immediately said angrily

"More than 5,000 people can't stay with 3,000 people, what are you doing to eat? Hurry up and chase it! ”

"No!" The adjutant general on the side wanted to say something in his heart, but your lieutenant was hiding directly at the back during the battle just now, but the difference in status between the two could only hold back this sentence.

The adjutant general immediately took the guards out of the city to pursue, and Lieutenant Wei knew that the task was not completed, and now he went back to report to Zhao Wangqian, and at least he was reprimanded, and he may even be deprived of his status as a lieutenant, so Lieutenant Wei took a team of guards towards Guo Kai's mansion, and now only Guo Kai can keep him.

And after Guo Kai returned to Zhao Wangqian and Li Mu had committed suicide by taking poison, he was praised a few words and returned to his house.

At this time, inside the inn.

Li Mu's body appeared on a bed.

"Li Mu is dead, what did you do when you got a corpse back?" Flame Spirit Ji looked at Li Mu's corpse and asked in surprise.

"He's not dead, what Li Mu drank was not a wine but a fake death pill developed by Mr. Nianduan." Ziyou then explained.

"You sent someone to change the wine that Zhao Wangqian gave to Guo Kai?"

"No, it's a yin and yang pot. Guo Kai wanted to kill Li Mu, he would definitely not easily believe that Li Mu was dead, and when he gave Li Mu poisonous wine, he would definitely arrest people to test the toxicity of the poisonous wine, so it was impossible to replace the poisonous wine. Ziyou said.

It is not so simple to give wine to the king, when the king gives the minister death, in order to prevent anyone from doing anything in it, he will send someone to drink the same wine and drink it with the minister, and the two of them will poison the hair together.

"Yin Yang Pot!? It's a clever thing, so the guards around Guo Kai are the ones who collect the net? Flame Lingji nodded, she had naturally heard of the Yin-Yang Pot, the Yin-Yang Pot seemed to be a wine pot, but there was a mechanism inside that divided the inside into two, which could hold two different liquids, and the mechanism at the handle could control which one to pour.

"That's right." Ziyou took out a bottle from his arms, poured out a pill, and then gave it to Li Mu.

Under the gaze of Flame Spirit Ji and Ziyou, Li Mu Tieqing's face gradually regained its blood color, and Li Mu's face was no different from ordinary people, and soon Li Mu opened his eyes faintly.

Li Mu saw the wooden roof, and his eyes were still a little confused, and when he wanted to get up, the feeling of weakness in his limbs made him unable to move.

"You just took the antidote, and now you can wake up is already the reason for your deep internal strength, if you want to move, you still need to wait for an hour or two." Ziyou said.

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Mu turned his head and saw Ziyou and Flame Spirit Ji, and after a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, Li Mu said

"Ziyou?"

"It's me. On the day when Yanmen was closed, it turned out to be this situation when we met again, which really made people sigh. Ziyou sat at the table and said, although Ziyou said sighing, but there was no emotion.

"So everything that's happened lately is you're behind it? Is it also promoted by the Qin State behind the scenes? Li Mu frowned and asked, "Why do you want to save me again?" ”

Seeing Ziyou, the doubts in Li Mu's original heart suddenly became clear, why Gongzi Jia would secretly hide armor and rebel, and why the guard who was loyal to the prostitute was assassinated at the door of the mansion, this kind of thing no one can do except the net, as for some of the series of things that were caused later, Ziyou was behind it, everything seemed so reasonable.

"Yes and no, Wei Wei was indeed killed by me, but I didn't do the Wuling Iron Cavalry. Wu Anjun should know that he was regarded as a thorn in the side by Zhao Wangqian and Guo Kai in Zhao State, right? Ziyou said with a faint smile.

Hearing Ziyou's words, Li Mu sighed helplessly.

"For the struggle for power, Guo Kai and Zhao Wangqian's intelligence is far stronger than in governing the country. After all the things that happened in Handan, I did only one thing to break the balance between Empress Guo and Zhao Wangqian. Ziyou said.

"God don't bless Zhao." Li Mu said helplessly, "The Qin State wants to get rid of me, I naturally understand, why do you want to save me?" ”

No matter how many things are said, it is irreparable, and no matter how much you do, you can't save the relationship between Zhao Wangqian and Wuling Tieqi, for the Qin State stirring up the storm in the Zhao State, Li Mu naturally knows that it is to get rid of himself, but he doesn't understand why Ziyou wants to save himself?

"It's very simple, the talent like you that the Qin State needs." Ziyou said.

Hearing Ziyou's words, Li Mu immediately stopped looking at Ziyou and said

"I will not be loyal to the Qin State, and the Qin State does not lack a 'dead man' like me."

"No, although the Qin State has Wang Qian, Meng Wu, Yang Duanhe, Li Xin, Wang Ben and other people who are good at fighting, it has always lacked a real person to formulate a strategy. At the beginning, Qin Guo had Wei Yu, but Wei Yu ran away in the end, so Qin Guo needed someone more suitable than me to be Tai Wei. Ziyou said.

"Isn't Wang Jian good?" Li Mu asked rhetorically.

"What do you think?" Ziyou asked rhetorically.

It's not that Wang Jian can't be a lieutenant, but he can't be a lieutenant now, and he can't be a lieutenant with real power. Wang Qian's family, one family and two heroes who destroyed the country, it is not surprising that it is Wang Jian who is in command when he attacks Zhao and Chu, if Wang Jian takes over the post of Tai Lieutenant again, it can be said that it is really unsealable, and the merit is high, even if Ying Zheng does not care about this, but according to Wang Qian's thoughts, it is impossible for him to die as a Tai Lieutenant, once he takes office, he will face the siege of the entire Qin court.

"Wang Jian is smarter than me, smarter than the people of the previous generations of soldiers." Li Mu said. There are very few people who can die well in the end, this is the inevitable outcome of the soldiers, and many people want to avoid this ending, but in the face of military exploits, how can they give up? So the end was all the suspicion of the monarch, the ministers besieged, and finally died tragically.

"Wang Jian should be very happy if he hears your words. In addition to that, if your talent is gone and wasted, it will be a real waste. Ziyou said with some regret.

Li Mu's military talent is beyond doubt, it would be a pity to waste it like this, if he is loyal to the Qin State and leads the soldiers in the Great Qin Academy Palace to create a steady stream of excellent generals for the Qin State, what a good thing it is. Ziyou himself also wanted to know if Li Mu, who was known as the god of military formations, could make anything else out of those formations in the future in his mind.

During the Warring States Period, there were no such things as those formations and formations in later generations, they were all the simplest military formations, not even military formations, but Li Mu touched the edge of the military formation.

Hearing Ziyou's words, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a burst of envy in his heart, Li Mu, who regarded the Qin State as his biggest enemy, naturally knew that the Qin State had a series of reforms to the army, especially the last officers who retired and could go to the Military Academy Palace in the Great Qin Academy Palace to teach experience and the art of war, which can be said to leave a way for them to survive in the end, even if they were given to die to the end, they would have successors.

"I appreciate your kindness, but Li Mu is dead, and now he is alive as a person who has nothing to love. If you regret it, you can kill me now. Li Mu said lightly, although he was given death by King Zhao and the kindness between him and the Zhao royal family, it did not mean that he was willing to be loyal to the Qin State. Now Li Mu only thinks about staying away from the court.

"Don't refuse me yet, you have time to think about it, I need to remind you that Zhao Wangqian sent people to slaughter the family members of the Wuling Iron Cavalry who were imprisoned, and the Wuling Iron Cavalry you brought rushed into Handan City and clashed with the Handan guards and the Praetorian Guards." Ziyou said.

Li Mu turned his head to look at Ziyou, and asked with a hint of excitement in his voice

"The result?"

"Two or three hundred people were killed and wounded, and I successfully saved only two or three tenths of the Wuling Iron Cavalry family members, if it wasn't for my people who opened the city gate in time and let them escape, I'm afraid that Wu Anjun should be able to see the corpses all over the ground at the city gate now." Ziyou said.

"How are they now?" Li Mu asked.

"They've now been taken to a safe place by my Snar-Killers. The Wuling Iron Cavalry stormed Handan and fought with the Guards, this is a rebellion, and there is no place for them in the Zhao State? In the whole world, whether it was Changping Jun and Li Yuan in the south, or the Qi State, they did not dare to take them in with the idea of offending the Zhao State, and only the Qin State was their only way to live. Ziyou said.

Hearing Ziyou's words, Li Mu felt helpless for a while, just as Ziyou said, the Qin State is the only way to survive for the Wuling Iron Cavalry now. Li Mu has nothing to do with the Zhao royal family in his heart, but the reason why Wuling Tieqi is there today is because of him, so he can't watch Wuling Tieqi have an accident, and Zi Lobby has made it clear that he is loyal to the Qin State, and the Qin State protects the Wuling Tieqi.

Looking at the helplessness on Li Mu's face, Ziyou knew in his heart that Li Mu had made a choice, so he stopped talking, just silently waiting for Li Mu's answer.

Thinking of the Wuling Iron Cavalry that could be exposed at any time outside the city, Li Mu made up his mind in his heart, he was already a person who had died once, and he was loyal to Qin, and the worst result was nothing more than being excluded, and finally being given death by the King of Qin, which was no different from him being given death in Zhao State, as long as he could keep the Wuling Iron Cavalry.

"I grant your request, but I also have a request." Li Mu said.

"What requirements?" Ziyou asked curiously.

"I don't want to leave Zhao Wangqian's life, but I hope that the Qin State can keep Zhao Wangqian's children to ensure that the sacrifices of the Zhao royal family continue." Li Mu said.

Li Mu knew very well that although the Qin State wanted him to be loyal, but now that the Wuling Iron Cavalry was being pursued and killed by the Zhao State, how could they give up this piece of fat in their mouths, they would inevitably find a way to take down the Wuling Iron Cavalry, and the best way to recover the Wuling Iron Cavalry was to kill Zhao Wangqian to appease their anger.

"Whether you can keep Zhao Wangqian's children and keep the sacrifice of the Zhao royal family depends on Wu Anjun's choice and performance." Ziyou said with a smile.

"I see." Li Mu said.

"Rest assured, the Qin State will not disappoint Wu Anjun, and the king is not a mediocre monarch like Zhao Wangqian." Ziyou said.

Li Mu didn't take Ziyou's words to heart, but asked

"Can you protect the Wuling Iron Cavalry and their families outside the city? If I can, I can write to Sima Shang and ask someone to send someone to pick them up. ”

"This doesn't bother Lao Wu Anjun, no one can save what Qin Guo wants to kill, and naturally no one can kill the people Qin Guo wants to save." After Ziyou finished speaking, he took Flame Spirit Ji out.

Li Mu lay on the bed without the slightest doubt about Ziyou's words, and he also believed that Qin Guo had such strength.

"Just like that, let Wu Anjun and Li Mu be loyal to the Qin State?" Flame Spirit Ji said with some surprise, she thought that the negotiations between Ziyou and Li Mu would be all kinds of vague transactions, but she didn't expect it to be completed so easily.

"Li Mu is not a foolish and loyal person, if Zhao Wangqian is not Zhao Mourning Xiang Wang Li as the crown prince, there is no doubt about inheriting King Zhao, Li Mu can directly support Gongzijia's rebellion, do you believe it?" Ziyou asked.

"I don't believe it, how can a famous general like Li Mu be half-hearted as you say?" Flame Spirit Ji shook her head and said.

"Half-hearted? Li Mu's allegiance is not to King Zhao, but to Zhao State, he doesn't care who is on the throne, the reason why he does not oppose Zhao Wangqian is because Zhao Wangqian is the son of King Zhao Mourning Xiang, and his kindness to King Zhao Mourning Xiang is not finished. Ziyou said.

Flame Lingji nodded and didn't speak again, Ziyou summoned the soul candle and asked the soul candle to send a message back to Handan, so that the Qin State could start attacking.

At the same time, the state of Chu, the capital of Ying, in the palace of the old Chu king.

Changping Jun also received the news of Gongzijia's rebellion, and there was only a deep powerlessness left in his heart.

"Let's all the people in Zhao State lurk, Zhao Guo is hopeless." Changpingjun said lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Liang said on the side.

After Changping Jun was surrounded by Qin and Li Yuan, he had been secretly accumulating strength and sending people to constantly contact Zhao and Qi, hoping to reach an alliance with the two countries and fight against Qin together, but after Gongzijia was wanted by Zhao Wangqian, Changping Jun knew that Li Mu was in danger and Zhao was about to be the target of Qin.

"Ofan, do you remember Han Fei's Blue Dragon plan at the beginning?" Changpingjun asked.

"Brother Han Fei's Blue Dragon Plan, I naturally remember, could it be that the king is going to start the Blue Dragon Plan?" Zhang Liang was stunned and asked, "Now that Brother Han Fei is in the Qin Kingdom, as the creator of the Blue Dragon Project, he knows our every move very well. ”

"I have revised the Blue Dragon Plan, after the Zhao State was destroyed by the Qin State, we will no longer have the strength to confront the Qin State, while the Chu State is still there, we must promote the Blue Dragon Plan and leave us hope." Chang Pingjun said.
