Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 404, Snow Girl’s Revenge, Scimitar Armor
When Li Mu was looking worried, his personal guard Li Kai walked in with a serious look on his face.

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

"Is there 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 worried Zhao Wangqian was about him. Now all kinds of things made him prepare for the worst. Li Kai looked at Li Mu There was sadness on his face and panic in his heart.

"General, why don't we go back to Yanmen Pass?" Li Kai suggested. Yanmen Pass and even the entire Dai County are managed by them with great pains. If Zhao Wangqian really plans to attack them by then, they will not have no power to fight back. .

Li Mu shook his head and said

"No."

Of course, Li Mu knew that the best situation now was to return to Yanmen Pass. At that time, even if Zhao Wangqian wanted to kill him, he would have to consider the 10,000+ elite border troops of Zhao in his hands. But similarly, if he really did this , the whole Zhao country will be panicked. It is not that Li Mu is worried about his own life, but that the Qin State will take advantage of the chaos in Zhao to attack. What is even more frightening is that Zhao Wangqian and Guo Kai will lead wolves into the house in order to eliminate him as an enemy. , directly opened the country's gate to attract Qin to Zhao.

Li Kai obviously didn't think as much as Li Mu thought. He simply thought that Li Mu was loyal to the country, and at the same time he felt more resentful.Since King Zhao came to power and Guo Kai took control of the government, the treatment of their border troops was far worse than before, and lack of money and food was common. Especially last year, because there was no war at the border, Guo Kai even reduced their money and food by 10,000%.If it weren't for the captures obtained from the previous attacks on the grassland, which allowed Dai County to develop, otherwise their [-]+ troops at Yanmen Pass would not have had a good year last year.

Now Handan is under martial law and no one is allowed to enter, and thousands of them have been placed in this camp outside the city. Anyone who looks at it will not think that this is to reward them, but to fear them.

"This king is really suspicious of you, general. If it weren't for you, our Zhao State would either be swallowed up by the Qin State or captured by the grassland tribes. Now that the country is at peace, we will change hands."

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

"Don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty must have his own reasons for doing this." Li Mu interrupted.

Seeing Li Mu's loyal look, Li Kaixin felt even more aggrieved. As Li Mu's personal guard, he naturally knew how many difficulties Li Mu had endured in coming to the court, such as money, food, interrogation, placement of personnel, etc., but he also knew that he It was outside Handan City, and it was the territory of the court. At the moment, I could only hold back and stop complaining.

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

Li Kai did not speak anymore, but looked at the location of Handan City.Their 10,000+ elite border troops are outside. If nothing is held by the court, how can they be left alone? And it is their family members who are used as a handle by the court. Most of the family members of the mid-level and high-level officers in the border army are in Handan. In the city, the fiefdom of the elite Wuling Cavalry in their frontier army is also in Handan, and their families are also in Handan.

If their border troops made any moves, their families would be captured immediately, so the court dared to place all 10,000+ troops at Yanmen Pass and let Li Mu control them for more than ten years.

"Brothers may be considerate of the general. We are not afraid of shadows. When the big men in the court have nothing to do, they will naturally let us enter the city." Li Kai said.

"Hopefully."

Li Mu shook his head and signaled 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, then dimmed again, and he murmured to himself:

"I hope your Majesty will not make a mistake."

Although Li Mu knew that Zhao Wangqian disliked him, he still didn't believe that Zhao Wangqian would kill him. After all, Zhao Guo's powerful enemies were outside, and Qin was eyeing the border and constantly sending troops.

As time went by, Li Mu and thousands of soldiers stayed in the camp for three days. During these three days, people brought good wine and food every day, but there was no news of them entering the city, and Handan City The martial law has not ended yet. Although the soldiers did not say anything, Li Mu became even more restless.

in the inn.

"This is the third day." Zi You Na Na said to himself.

"Yes, sir, Zhao Wangqian is still looking for Gongzi Jia throughout the city. Those who were secretly involved with Gongzi Jia were secretly executed, while Zhao Wangqian and Guo Kai arranged people who were loyal to them into the court. Replaced the forces left behind by the prostitute and Zhao Yi." Mo Ya replied.

"Three days were enough for Li Mu and others to notice something. They sent people to quietly leave the city with Gongzi Jia's personal belongings, told Li Mu about the situation in the city, and then sent people to create an uneasy atmosphere among Li Mu's soldiers." You said.

"No!" Mo Crow said.

"Come on, follow me to see this young master Jia, and take Xue'er with you," Ziyou said.

"Yes."

Ziyou took Xue Nu and Mo Ya to the backyard of the inn, and was led by a trap killer to the secret passage below the inn. In the secret passage, they met many trap killers, and they all paid homage to Ziyou. , in the deepest part of the secret passage is a prison, and Gongzi Jia is being tied to a torture device. At this time, Gongzi Jia no longer looks like the former Zhao Guo Gongzi. His hair is disheveled, his body is covered with wounds and blood, and his eyes are blank. God, facing the three days of torture in the snare, Gongzijia had already been tortured to the point of numbness.

The person in charge of punishment saw Ziyou arriving and quickly saluted and said

“Black Needle has seen Mr.

"Did he recruit?" Ziyou asked calmly.

"I've found it." Black Needle took out a scroll of bamboo slips. "Sir, it is exactly this. This person said that the answer you want to know is on this bamboo slip." Ziyou unfolded the bamboo slips and looked at the Zhao characters on it. She slowly began to study, and Mo Ya and others did not dare to disturb her. Xue Nu looked at Gongzi Jia who was tied to the torture instrument with red eyes, clenching her fists, and her sharp nails were already inserted into her flesh.

After feeling the strong killing intent, Gongzijia, who was already numb, raised his head blankly and met Xue Nu's eyes full of hatred. At first, Gongzi Jia didn't understand why the other party was full of hatred for him, but after seeing Xue Nu, When his hair was white, his pupils were constricted, as if he had seen something terrible and was constantly struggling to shake.

"Impossible, impossible...how are you still alive!" Gongzijia shouted crazily, his eyes filled with fear.

Ziyou closed the bamboo slips. He already knew where the things left by King Zhao Wuling were.

"According to what this person said, sir, after he got the bamboo slips, he was imprisoned by Zhao Wangqian before he had time to get the things." Black Needle said.

"Okay." Ziyou nodded and looked at Xue Nu, "Xue'er, I said I would leave this person to you. Now you can do whatever you want with him."

Snow Girl looked at Zi Xing's ceremony and said
"Thank you sir."

"Leave this place to you, don't hurt yourself." Ziyou said to the snow girl, while glancing at the black needle.

Black Needle understood immediately and nodded to Ziyou.

"it is good."

Xue Nu looked at Gongzi Jia with red eyes. Zi You led Mo Ya out of the cell, and Heizhen bowed to Xue Nu after Zi You left and explained the use of torture instruments before also walking out.Just when Heizhen thought that Xuenu would torture Gongzijia, Xuenu opened the door of the cell and asked Heizhen to take Gongzijia with her. Since Xuenu was Ziyou's maid, Heizhen did not dare to neglect and called. The four snare killers took Gongzi Jia out of the dungeon.

And Xue Nu did not want to let Gongzi Jia go, but wanted Gongzi Jia to watch all his family members be executed, and she was also recorded by Zhao State's historians as a debauched and invincible rebel.A large number of people gathered at the execution ground in Handan, most of whom were forced to come. Kneeling on the execution ground were Gongzi Jia's wives, concubines, children, relatives and friends.

The historian on the side was shouting the evidence of Gongzi Jia's crime, and kept writing on the bamboo slips with his hands.Gongzijia, whose limbs were trapped, collapsed as he listened to the historian's verdict. For a person like Gongzijia, the best way to punish him is to let him see with his own eyes that he will be infamy for thousands of years and be disgusted by history. .

Seeing the collapse of Gongzi Jia, Xuenu felt great satisfaction in her heart. As the execution ended on the execution ground, Xuenu did not kill Gongzi Jia, but let Gongzi Jia listen to the people's discussion and disgust towards him.

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

"Your Majesty, if we directly issue an edict to seize Li Mu's military power, what will happen if the thousands of elite border troops he sent rebel because of rebellion?" Guo Kai said worriedly.

"Does he, Li Mu, dare?" Zhao Wangqian asked in return, "If he loses my Zhao Kingdom's most precious treasure and clan jade, colludes with Zhao Jia, and sells armor privately, any one thing is enough to destroy Li Mu and his three clans. Now I just want to do this." If he loses his military power, what can he say?"

Looking at Zhao Wangqian's vow, Guo happily murmured that you were not the one to read the edict, so don't worry.Zhao Wangqian's edict has been written, and Guo Kai was asked to read it to seize Li Mu's military power. However, Guo Kai was worried that Li Mu would directly rebel and kill him, so the above dialogue took place.He didn't know whether Li Mu rebelled against Guo Kai, but Guo Kai knew that all Li Mu brought back were his confidants and elites. Once they made trouble and forced Li Mu to rebel, his life would really be unsafe.

"Li Mu is naturally afraid of the king and dare not rebel, but the soldiers under him are all barbaric and vulgar people. They don't understand what the king's grace is, and they are all Li Mu's elites. If these idiots are not convinced and gather together to cause trouble, I'm afraid There will be a lot of trouble." Guo Kai advised.

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

After hearing Guo Kai's words, Zhao Wangqian thought for a moment and said

"Zhao Kai is on his way back now. If it drags on for a long time, I'm afraid Li Mu will be alert to something."

When Guo Kai wanted to say something else, Zhao Wangqian's eyes flashed with cruelty, he looked at Guo Kai and said
"Mr. Guo, didn't the soldiers Li Mu brought back this time go home to visit their relatives? If all their family members were gathered together, would these people dare to cause more trouble?"

"Ah!?" Guo Kai looked at Zhao Wangqian in surprise. He suspected that he had heard wrongly. He didn't know how Zhao Wangqian could think of such a stupid method. If he really threatened their family, he might not only It will not act as a threat and may even force them to rebel.

"Why are you panicking, Mr. Guo? Naturally, I will not really kill their family members, but just threaten them. Even if they are willing to follow Li Mu to rebel regardless of their family's safety, Li Mu will not let them really rebel. As long as Li Mu is captured, he will 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 that Zhao Wangqian decided this matter himself, and he did not need to take the blame, Guo Kai naturally would not try to dissuade Zhao Wangqian anymore, and even said

"Your Majesty is wise, I really didn't expect such a method. It is a blessing for Zhao State to have a king. It is a blessing for the people of Zhao State to have a king as their king. It is a blessing for Zhao State to have a king as their king. Our Zhao State will definitely If the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the people are obedient, and the country is strong, given time, we will be able to sweep across the Qin Kingdom and restore the glory of our Zhao Kingdom!"

Guo Kai's flattery made Zhao Wangqian elated and said with a smile
"As the King of Zhao, I can only think of some ways to benefit the State of Zhao. Government matters still require Prime Minister Guo. Now that this matter is confirmed, Prime Minister Guo will go to the military camp to read out my edict."

"Ah!?" Guo Kai's expression changed. He didn't expect that he would be asked to read it out in the end.

Seeing the embarrassment on Guo Kai's face, Zhao Wangqian naturally knew that Guo Kai was worried that he would become an outlet for those mud-legged people, so he immediately said

"Don't worry, I won't let you go alone. You go with Zong Zheng, Anyang Jun and Wu Sui Jun in the clan, and a team of scimitar warriors from the palace will follow you."

"Scimitar warrior?" Guo Kai felt much relieved when he heard this name.

Others may not know the name of the Scimitar Armor Soldiers, but Guo Kai knows that this is the royal family, to be precise, they are the personal guards of King Zhao in the past dynasties. Just like the Black Ice Platform of the Qin State, the Scimitar Armor Soldiers are the personal guards of King Zhao. The Wei was created by King Wuling of Zhao, and it was also the reason why King Wuling of Zhao dared to divide the Kingdom of Zhao into two and placed himself in the middle to check and balance it. Unfortunately, King Wuling of Zhao did not expect that Young Master Cheng and Li Dui would dare to lead an army to besiege the Sand Dune Palace and challenge thousands of miles. In the end, there were only a few hundred scimitar warriors left. From then on, the scimitar warriors were no longer an army in the hands of King Zhao, but a personal bodyguard.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. With the two members of the clan, Anyang Jun and Wu Sui Jun, Li Mu's heart can be stabilized, and we can use scimitar armor to deal with Li Mu's sudden outbreak at any time. In this way, we will definitely be able to capture them." Guo Kai said with a smile.
