My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 735: Xiangbang is truly the most loyal minister of our Great Zhao! Can he fight? What's the point of being able to fight!

Guo Kai asked in surprise: "Wu'an Jun?"

"Your Majesty, are you saying that the attack tonight was carried out by Wu Anjun?!"

King Qian of Zhao could no longer sit still.

Standing up and pacing back and forth on the high platform, King Qian of Zhao murmured urgently, "Handan City is the capital of our Great Zhao, and it is heavily guarded. It is difficult for ordinary people to cause chaos in Handan City."

"But the Li family has deep roots in our Great Zhao. Wu'an Jun's ancestor Li Dui once controlled the government of our Great Zhao."

"Wu'an Jun has the ability to kidnap Prince Jia from Handan City!"

"When my mother first entered the palace, Wu Anjun had some complaints."

"When my mother was about to ascend the throne, Wu Anjun openly accused my father and humiliated my mother in the court."

"When I was promoted to crown prince by my father, Wu Anjun, even though he had been laid off, still wrote to my father and denounced him, trying his best to stop him from making me crown prince."

"I put aside past grudges and ordered Wu Anjun to lead the army, but Wu Anjun disobeyed my orders twice in a row."

"Mr. Wu'an must have long favored Master Jia and was dissatisfied with me, so he kidnapped Master Jia tonight."

"Now Wu'an Jun has a large army at his disposal, and Prince Jia was once a prince of our great Zhao, and he has great principles."

"As long as Prince Jia enters Dai County, Wu'an Jun will be able to...he will be able to..."

Zhao Jia was once the first in line to the throne of King Zhao. Even after his title of crown prince was abolished, he still enjoyed great reputation in the court and the country, and was the primary rival of King Zhao Qian's succession to the throne.

Li Mu was the top military leader of the Zhao State, commanding more than 400,000 soldiers. He actually controlled Dai County and basically controlled Wu'an City. He publicly expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with King Qian of Zhao and his mother many times. He also had an ancestor who controlled the government of the Zhao State, so he was labeled as a powerful official.

One has the support of the people and the other holds a large army. Once Zhao Jia and Li Mu join forces, what will they do?
Do you still need to think about it!
Seeing the frightened expression of King Zhao, Guo Kai helped King Zhao to express his guess: "The king is saying..."

"Wu'an Jun will help the guilty minister Jia and plot a rebellion to seize the throne?!"

Zhao Wangqian's originally rosy little face turned pale in an instant. His legs were unable to support his body and he fell limply onto the couch!

But Zhao Wangqian didn't care about the pain in his buttocks, but looked at Guo Kai in panic: "Prime Minister! Prime Minister!"

"The guilty minister Jia and Lord Wu'an are sharpening their swords to attack me!"

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Guo Kai quickly ran up to the platform, knelt beside King Zhao Qian and said softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is the king of Great Zhao, and all of Great Zhao will obey your orders."

"Even if there are some traitors, the king only needs to issue a royal decree to get rid of them!"

Zhao Wangqian grabbed Guo Kai's sleeve, his face full of bitterness: "How can I not worry?"

"Young Master Jia is imprisoned in Handan City."

"But he was kidnapped by the soldiers sent by Wu'an Jun."

"Today, Lord Wu'an sent troops to kidnap Prince Jia. Tomorrow he can send troops to attack Handan City and kill me!"

"Xiangbang!"

Zhao Wangqian looked at Guo Kai expectantly and said, "Since I only need to issue a royal decree to get rid of the traitors."

"Can I issue a royal decree to execute Lord Wu An immediately?!"

Guo Kai: Huh???

Seeing Guo Kai's face full of shock and no reply, Zhao Wangqian actually rushed directly to the table, picked up the brush, and said firmly: "I will give the order right away!"

"Grant Wu Anjun death!"

Guo Kai: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Seeing that Prince Qian of Zhao was really going to write the royal decree on the spot, Guo Kai was dumbfounded!

Your Majesty, you are so arrogant, did the late king know?
Even Benxiang had never thought of issuing a royal decree to kill Li Mu.

What do you think of Li Mu?

What do you think Wang Ling is?

You directly ordered the execution of a general who was leading troops outside. Aren’t you afraid that Li Mu would rebel on the spot?
For the sake of his own life, Guo Kai grabbed Zhao Wangqian's brush and urged him anxiously, "Calm down!"

"My king, calm down!"

"Didn't the king trust Wu Anjun last time?"

"Why is this so!"

Zhao Wangqian's face was full of anger: "Because of my father's words, I trust Wu'an Jun more."

"Even though Wu Anjun disobeyed the king's order twice, I did not punish him."

"But now, Lord Wu'an wants to harm me."

"If I were still magnanimous, wouldn't I have to let Wu Anjun put his sword to my neck?"

Li Mu’s wrong decision led to the death of more than 100,000 soldiers?

King Zhao Qian knew that this was a heavy loss, but the number of people he had ever met in his life added up to less than 100,000. King Zhao Qian could not truly understand how heavy a loss this was and what price it would bring.

In the eyes of King Qian of Zhao, these were just a string of cold numbers.

Li Mu rejected Wang Ling twice?

This did make King Qian of Zhao very dissatisfied, but Li Mu had rejected the royal order more than once or twice, and each time he rejected the royal order, he was able to bring victory back to Zhao State, so King Qian of Zhao was mentally prepared for this. Moreover, King Qian of Zhao had not yet taken power, and the orders were all issued by Guo Kai in the name of King Qian of Zhao, so even if Li Mu rejected the royal order, King Qian of Zhao would not be particularly angry.

Because no matter how Li Mu refused the king's order or how many soldiers and generals he suffered, it would not affect the vital interests of King Qian of Zhao, nor would it affect King Qian of Zhao's throne.

As long as Li Mu had the possibility of defeating Qin, King Qian of Zhao could magnanimously tolerate Li Mu's rebelliousness and the price paid for the war.

But it’s different because Zhao Jia might have escaped to Dai County with the help of Li Mu!
This matter directly concerns the throne of King Qian of Zhao, and even his life.

As long as there is a possibility that Li Mu can help Zhao Jia usurp the throne, King Zhao Qian will not tolerate even the slightest bit!
Guo Kai could only console him by saying, "It is still unclear who did what happened tonight."

"Even if the court suspects that Wu Anjun was responsible after investigation, the king cannot issue an order to execute Wu Anjun immediately!"

King Qian of Zhao breathed heavily and forced himself to calm down.

But Zhao Wangqian still asked in a stiff voice: "Why not?"

"Whether or not what happened tonight was done by Wu Anjun, Gongzi Jia has gone to Dai County."

"Mr. Wu'an has long praised Young Master Jia and is quite dissatisfied with me."

"Once Prince Jia enters Dai County, he will be protected by Lord Wu'an. The two of them will definitely join forces and eventually target me!"

"How can I just sit back and watch?"

King Qian of Zhao, who had regained some composure, recalled King Yan of Zhao's evaluation of Li Mu and began to trust Li Mu a little more.

In Zhao Wangqian's opinion, perhaps the jailbreak tonight had nothing to do with Li Mu, but was done by Zhao Jia's old subordinates. But it didn't matter who did the jailbreak.

The important thing is whether Li Mu will help Zhao Jia next!
Li Mu had repeatedly angrily rebuked Prince Zhao Qian and his mother in the Longtai Palace, but he also praised Zhao Jiaduo.

In this battle, Li Mu disobeyed the king's orders again and again!
Combining the two, how could King Qian of Zhao believe that Li Mu would not help Zhao Jia seize the throne of King Zhao!
Guo Kai's voice was gentle but firm: "Your Majesty's worries are also my worries."

"If the guilty minister Jia really went to Dai County, then Wu Anjun cannot be trusted!"

"It's just that the court has not yet found out the whereabouts of the criminal minister Jia. The criminal minister Jia's visit to Dai County is just my guess and cannot be taken seriously."

"If you order the execution of Wu'an Jun, I'm afraid he will immediately start a rebellion!"

"I advise you to first recall Wu Anjun on the grounds that he disobeyed the king's order."

"If it is confirmed that Zhao Jia has never been to Dai County, then order Wu Anjun to return to the front line and continue fighting."

"If it is confirmed that Zhao Jia really went to Dai County, then we should find out whether Wu'an Jun had anything to do with Zhao Jia's escape."

"Once Zhao Jia is captured, and Wu Anjun has indeed not participated in the prison break tonight, we will release him to fight on the front lines."

After listening to Guo Kai's persuasion, King Qian of Zhao calmed down completely.

If Li Mu had really joined forces with Zhao Jia, then a royal decree could not kill Li Mu immediately.

The safest strategy would be to recall Li Mu first.

At the same time, King Zhao Qian looked at Guo Kai with more intimacy and trust.

Even though Li Mu and Guo Kai had many disagreements, at this critical moment, Guo Kai repeatedly spoke well of Li Mu.

Guo Kai is truly the most loyal minister of our Great Zhao!
Guo Kai looked at King Zhao Qian sincerely and said, "Your Majesty, Wu'an Jun is indeed the best general of our Great Zhao!"

"Now that Qin has won many victories and is becoming stronger, our Zhao needs a general like Wu Anjun to help us defeat Qin."

"Your Majesty, please think twice before you act!"

King Zhao Qian snorted unhappily: "My great Zhao has produced many great generals!"

"I don't know how many great generals fought against powerful enemies for our Zhao."

"Without Wu'an Jun, is there no general who can help our Zhao resist Qin?"

King Qian of Zhao knew that Li Mu was a good fighter, and King Yan of Zhao also said that Li Mu was a good fighter.

But King Qian of Zhao didn't believe it. If the great Zhao lost Li Mu, would it be defeated?
When Li Mu was unemployed in the past, the State of Zhao was not at a disadvantage to the State of Qin!
What’s the use of fighting?

Our great Zhao has never lacked capable generals.

Being loyal to me is more important!

Guo Kai cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to the blessing of our predecessors, our Great Zhao has indeed produced many great generals."

"Lord Chunping, General Cong and other generals are all capable of resisting Qin."

"It's just that Wu Anjun is more experienced after all."

King Zhao Qian was a little happier, and nodded, saying, "Then let's do as the Prime Minister says."

"Summon Wu'an Jun back to the court immediately on the grounds that he disobeyed the king's order!"

"As for the front-line troops, who do you think is the most reliable?"

Guo Kai spoke slowly: "I think General Cong is qualified to be the commander-in-chief."

"Lord Changguo is a surrendered general. He is not close to Lord Wu'an. He can continue to be our deputy general."

King Zhao nodded happily and said, "Just follow what the Prime Minister said!"

"Quickly summon General Cong to the palace to discuss military strategy!"

Zhao Cong stepped into the Longtai Palace with great interest.

After a while, he walked out of Longtai Palace at a loss, and didn't even respond to Guo Kai's greeting.

But Guo Kai was still in a good mood and left Longtai Palace with brisk steps.

However, this good mood disappeared after Guo Kai saw Guo Chang!

Quickening his pace to meet Guo Chang, Guo Kai asked in a low voice: "What happened?"

"Why are you waiting for Naiweng here?"

Guo Chang glanced around, pulled Guo Kai aside, and said anxiously in a low voice: "Aunt, this is not good!"

"The soldiers in the mansion did not find Master Jia on the original route."

"We didn't find any trace of Master Jia while searching along the way, but we did find the body of the pig husband!"

Guo Kai's pupils suddenly condensed: "You pig man, did you also die in battle?!"

Zhufu was not a member of Guo Kai's clan, but he was a close confidant whom Guo Kai had cultivated for more than ten years.

In terms of intelligence, he is not outstanding.

But when it comes to martial arts, he is the warrior that Guo Kai can best rely on!

Guo Chang nodded, his voice getting heavier: "There are no signs of fighting around the pig husband's body."

"Besides the two arrows, the pig husband only had one sword wound."

"Behind him!"

Guo Kai's pupils trembled: "Young Master Jia?"

"It's Master Jia!"

"How can you be so scheming and vicious at such a young age?"

"Fortunately this boy has not ascended the throne!"

Guo Chang asked in a low voice: "Father, do you want me to go to Dai County in person to meet Master Jia?"

Guo Kai immediately shook his head: "Don't show up!"

"Just order the servants in the mansion to communicate with Gongzi Jia, and then increase the efforts to bribe Gongzi Jia's old subordinates to find out Gongzi Jia's true strength."

"Don't even mention the death of Zhufu... No, don't even mention the matter of rescuing Gongzi Jia!"

As he spoke, Guo Kai walked quickly towards his horse.

Guo Chang hurriedly followed Guo Kai and asked in confusion: "Where are you going, old man?"

Guo Kai said with hatred:
"Go find the Qin people!"
