Sima Shang didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either, saying that this matter must be approved by King Zhao Xiang, and at worst Marshal Li Mu must nod.

The entire conversation with Sima Shang was relatively harmonious, and Ji Jie was more confident in Li Mu who was going to visit next, because he brought a gift that Li Mu couldn't refuse - a precious sword.

The name of the sword is Feihong. The body of the sword is three feet six inches long, the hilt is eight inches long, and the sword grid is 1.4 meters long. It is made of the best bronze and is made by Ou Yezi, a famous swordsmith.

After a face-to-face conversation, Ji Jie ordered someone to bring over the wooden box containing the Feihong sword, and offered it with both hands.

"What is envoy Wei doing?" Li Mu's face showed a trace of displeasure. It is well known that he never accepts bribes.

"Marshal Li, don't get me wrong!" Ji Jie opened the lid of the box and said, "Lord Xinling entrusted me to bring this sword to you. I'm not very proficient in weapons, so please take a look at it first!"

Li Mu is much more easy-going than Ji Jie imagined, otherwise he would not have taken out the sword so quickly.

If gold, silver and treasures are not to be taken seriously, Li Mu can do it, but with a peerless magic weapon in front of his eyes, how can he not be tempted.He picked up the sword with a suspicious expression, and the moment the sword was pulled out of the scabbard, the sound of clanging was like a dragon's chant.

"Good sword, good sword!" Li Mu praised sincerely.

"As the saying goes, a sword is given to a hero. It seems that your decision is right!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "Only a hero like Marshal Li is worthy of such a sword. Please accept it!"

"No!" Li Mu refused very simply, he knew the value of this sword, at least above ten thousand gold.

Ji Jie didn't reach out to pick up the sword he handed back in exchange, but said with a smile: "Mr. Xinling said that it would be great if he could gallop across the battlefield like you, but his martial arts are mediocre and he can't be a general." Naturally, it is not worthy of such a weapon, so let me give it to you, so as not to embarrass the magic soldier in my own hands. Your Majesty also said, I hope you can kill all Qin soldiers with this sword, forever The safety of the three Jins!"

Li Mu believed it. Ji Jie himself didn't believe what he said, but he actually believed it. The key is that the Feihong Sword is too tempting for a general.

After accepting the sword, Li Mu said bluntly, "Emissary Wei needs my help, just ask!"

Ji Jie quickly said what he was thinking, Li Mu frowned tightly, and said in a displeased tone: "You said just now that you asked me to kill Qin's soldiers with a sword, why are you helping Qin again now?"

That's right, Ji Jie also realized that he was inconsistent.

"That's right, this is one of the items in the agreement signed between the State of Wei and the State of Qin, Lord Xinling has no choice but to do it!" Ji Jie began to find reasons for himself: "Otherwise, the people of Qin State will not retreat, you know, we are now If you are not an opponent of Qin, how can you not bow your head!"

Li Mu thought about it for a while, during which time he glanced at the sword placed on the table several times, and finally patted the table and said, "Okay then, I can let you meet Zhao Ji's mother and son, how about the time of three incense sticks?"

Three sticks of incense, one stick is enough!

Ji Jie hurriedly pretended to be grateful, bowed and said, "Thank you Marshal Li for your generosity. In fact, Mr. Xinling means that as long as we work hard, even if we don't rescue their mother and child, we have completed the task. It’s enough to have an explanation on the side!”

This is a reassuring word, but it is what Li Muzheng needs.

The next day, Ji Jie, led by Li Mu's personal guards, ran all the way to Wulu City, not far from Handan City. This is an important military town with more than [-] troops stationed to guard the capital.

There are more soldiers on the street than ordinary people, but everything looks so orderly, which shows that Li Mu is a well-governed person.

The Grand Marshal's Mansion, this is a magnificent building complex, it was originally the residence of King Zhao, and was later given to Li Mu.He changed this place into a battle center for discussing matters with various generals. He is the legal owner of this place anyway, so the plaque of the Grand Marshal's Mansion is hung at the door.

A small courtyard guarded by heavy soldiers. The level of guards is so high that it can be described as three floors inside and three floors outside. Sentinels are also set up on the surrounding commanding heights, equipped with powerful bows and crossbows. Who would dare to attack here? It is estimated that he was shot into a hedgehog before he caught fire with the soldiers standing guard in the corner.

Seeing this, Ji Jie felt heavy in his heart, not to mention that Qin Qing only brought two hundred warriors, even two thousand, or even twenty thousand, would never want to snatch someone out from here.

We can only find a way in diplomacy, which is too passive.

"Is Zhao Ji's mother and son locked up in such a small courtyard?" Ji Jie asked.

"Not exactly!" The captain of the guard replied: "Zhao Ji usually lives here, and most of the time she can only stay in the dungeon under the small courtyard. Specialized teachers teach all kinds of knowledge, and when the Generalissimo is in a good mood, he will send someone to take him out to play, of course he must dress up as a child of an ordinary family."

It's miserable enough, no wonder Ying Zheng hated Zhao Guo after being rescued. The inhuman life of more than ten years in his childhood cultivated his resolute character, thus unifying China and becoming an emperor admired by later generations through the ages.

There was only one house in the small courtyard, and other than that, it was full of flowers and plants. Needless to say, these must have been planted by Zhao Ji when she was out in the wind, and this group of senior men serving as soldiers were not so leisurely.

The room was very clean and there was no trace of human habitation. The captain of the guard walked to a shelf and turned a vase on it. Then the sound of the lock was heard, and a three-foot-square hole appeared on the ground.

"Master Wei, it's time for breakfast. Since you are going down to see Zhao Ji, please stay with us!" A soldier behind the captain of the guard was holding a tray with a bowl of light yellow miscellaneous rice in it. Congee, a small plate of black pickles, and two hard corn bread.

"Okay!" Ji Jie agreed.

"At the time of three incense sticks, Master Wei can have a good talk with Zhao Ji!" The captain of the guard said with a little ambiguity.

"What do you mean?" Ji Jie asked.

The captain of the guard smiled but did not answer. Ji Jie stuffed an ingot of gold into his hand calmly, and then he was willing to tell the reason: Zhao Ji was imprisoned here for nearly ten years. The soldiers who went in to deliver food, on the first day they were locked up, Li Mu ordered the soldiers not to have sex with them, and the few guys who couldn't control them all lost their lives because of this, and later when they delivered food, they were all released. It's not worth it to go in and run, and lose your life just to enjoy it for a while.

"You are not Zhao Zu, so you don't need to pay attention to the orders of the Generalissimo!" The captain of the guard said with an exaggerated expression: "The woman inside is in the age of a tiger and a wolf. Wei envoys should be careful. If you can't do it, just squeak, and the brothers will send someone down to take care of you." You pull up!"

In history, Zhao Ji was indeed an unruly woman. After her son ascended the throne and became the Queen Mother of Qin, she immediately got mixed up with Lai Ai, and had an unclear relationship with Lu Buwei for several years.

But Ji Jie never thought that she would be so yelling. He took a deep breath and walked slowly into the tunnel. He was like a brave warrior who died generously.
