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

Chapter 962: Li Mu's confusion and the Dai army's generals' speculations! How can loyalty outweigh interests?
Li Bo did not make a clear statement like Li Hong, demanding that father and son go to Daqin together, nor did he do anything stupid to make Li Mu's situation more difficult.

Li Bo was just like a confused child. He threw the problems that were bothering him to Li Mu, hoping that Li Mu could answer his questions and resolve his confusion.

However, Li Bo's questions were like heavy hammers that hit Li Mu's heart deeply, causing Zhao Jiang's heart, which had finally calmed down after a long while of comfort, to return to chaos again.

Li Mu did not mind Dai Wangjia's support of new forces to check and balance Li Mu. On the contrary, Li Mu supported Dai Wangjia's support of new forces. In this way, no one would mistakenly think that Li Mu wanted to undermine the king like his ancestor Li Dui did.

But Li Mu could not accept that King Dai Jia squeezed the essence of the land and harmed the people of Dai!
After all, Li Mu was loyal to King Dan of Zhao and King Yan of Zhao, but the people of Dai were loyal to him, Li Mu.

Li Mu needs to be loyal to Zhao Wang Dan and Zhao Wang Yan. Li Mu also needs to be responsible for the people of Dai and not let them down!

After a long time, Li Mu, who had been sitting like a corpse, finally stood up slowly and walked to the table.

Li Mu dipped the brush into ink and wrote with a handwriting that was noticeably lighter than before:

【My son, I am glad to receive your letter. 】

【My son’s questions were all nonsense.】

[Your Majesty was a well-known gentleman when you were the crown prince. You are kind-hearted and gentle. Although Your Majesty has not dealt with the disaster of the earth dragon this year, it was only because of the dangerous external war and internal exhaustion. Your Majesty does not have the power to deal with the disaster. ]

[As a minister, I should not feel resentful about this, but should reflect on myself and never let the king face such a painful choice again.]

[Next year, a severe drought will come. I believe that the king will make preparations early, collect food and grass, treat the drought, and save the people of Daidi! ]

[As for whether the king will move the capital, this is a very important matter, and it should be decided according to the king's wishes. Whether the king moves the capital or not has nothing to do with vigilance or suppression, so my son, please do not worry too much.]

[Although the king is the deposed crown prince...]

At this point, Li Mu's pen tip was suspended above the bamboo slips, allowing the ink to drip from the pen tip and stain the bamboo slips, but he did not continue writing for a long time.

What if the king really ignores the drought in Dai next year as Ying Chengjiao said, or even takes the opportunity to seize the essence of Dai and make the people of Dai live in misery? Then is the king really more worthy of support than the king of Zhao? Should I continue to fight for the king?
After all, Your Majesty has only deposed the Crown Prince! Why should all the people of the world die for Your Majesty?

Complex thoughts filled Li Mu's mind, making it difficult for him to make a decision.

Li Mu had no choice but to take out a carving knife and scrape off the last few words and the large ink spots, and start writing again:

[The situation in the world is getting more chaotic. My son should be a good official in Qin.]

[Qin Chang'an Jun is a rare general, wise minister, and gentleman. Apart from being too foolish and kind, he has no other faults. My son, please do not be dissatisfied with Qin Chang'an Jun because of your father's repeated fights with Qin Chang'an Jun. ]

[Your father cannot be by my side to give instructions. If you have any questions, you can ask Qin Changan Jun. If you need anything, you can ask for help from your uncle’s family members…]

Whether it was due to inner confusion or despair for the future, Li Mu rarely took off the mask of a strict father and showed Li Bo his gentle side, explaining every detail as if he was writing a will.

After a long time, a family soldier finally walked into Li Mu's tent and ran to the west with three bamboo slips.

Not far away, under the night sky, Zhao Jiang stood alone, watching the backs of the family soldiers leaving, and sighed softly: "My King! You..."

"Ah~"

"The revival of Zhao should bring me a hundred benefits and no harm."

"But why do I only feel that it is harmful, and not beneficial?"

"I originally had at least one place to live, but the resurgence of Zhao has not helped me gain another place. On the contrary, even my place in Dai is in danger!"

Zhao Jiang pretended that he heard nothing in Li Mu's tent.

Zhao Jiang knew very well that Dai State had few capable generals. If there was really a rift between Dai Wangjia and Li Mu, Dai State would soon perish! Therefore, Zhao Jiang had to tell Dai Wangjia a white lie to help Dai State keep Li Mu, the great general.

But Zhao Jiang didn't really hear nothing.

"The Lord of Qin Chang'an wants to kill your father. Do you, a rebellious son, also want to take his life?"
Under what circumstances would a general like Li Mu, who would only change color slightly when faced with a mountain collapse in front of him, exclaim in such an inappropriate manner?

And under what circumstances would a calm and rational general like Li Mu be so dissatisfied with his own son?

Combining the current situation and the key words from Li Mu's mouth, Zhao Jiang effortlessly extracted a piece of information.

Li Mu's son has already turned his heart to Qin!
Considering Li Mu's shock, this boy was definitely not Li Bo who had already surrendered to Qin, but one of Li Hong and Li Xian. This boy might even have secretly submitted a letter of surrender to Qin.

Li Mu has been put in an extremely embarrassing and dangerous situation by his son!

Two kings coexist, Dai and Zhao coexist, the King of Dai is unkind, the King of Zhao is unjust, loyalty has no one to rely on, the situation is dangerous, powerful countries ask for help, sons and heirs are unfaithful, and the heart is confused.

Zhao Jiang felt suffocated for Li Mu!

This is just Li Mu's thinking from his own perspective.

In Zhao Jiang's opinion, Dai Wangjia's suppression of Li Mu is obvious, and Dai Wangjia should also understand where Li Mu's loyalty comes from. In the future, Dai Wangjia may restrain his suppression of Li Mu, but his vigilance against Li Mu will definitely increase day by day.

Li Mu's defection to Zhao State was also not good. The fact that Zhao Wangqian wanted to kill Li Mu was an undeniable chasm! It was also an undeniable fact that Li Mu gave up the land of Dai and supported Dai Wangjia to establish a country! No matter how Li Mu viewed Zhao Wangqian, Zhao Wangqian would be on guard against Li Mu in his heart.

The only option that can benefit Li Mu is to run to Qin!
But if Li Mu fled to Qin, who in Dai and Zhao could resist the Qin army led by Chang'an Jun?

Do we have to rely on him, Zhao Jiang?

Don't be funny, he is the only descendant of his lineage left, he will never be an enemy of Ying Chengjiao again!

If both Dai and Zhao were destroyed, what would Zhao Jiang, a descendant of the Zhao royal family, do? !

After standing in silence for a long time, Zhao Jiang finally looked towards Li Mu's tent with complicated eyes and murmured softly: "If Wu'an Jun wants to surrender to Qin, don't forget to take me with you!"

Turning around, Zhao Jiang discovered several flashes of golden light not far away.

Looking closely, it was actually the light reflected by the generals' heavy armor under the light of the fire!

Which general doesn’t have several relatives, old friends, and former subordinates in Jicheng?
When the family letters from the three Li Bo brothers were delivered to Li Mu's tent, letters from other generals' families had also been delivered to their tents. The conditions offered by Ying Chengjiao and Li Hong's promise to give a sheep as a gift also reached the ears of one general after another.

They didn't dare to ask Li Mu about his thoughts, but how could they sleep well when they were confused about the future and hesitant about their prospects?

When their eyes met, Sun Yi took the initiative to walk in front of Zhao Jiang, bowed and asked in a low voice: "Captain Zhao, I think you are here because of the incident in Jicheng, right?"

"May I ask Captain Zhao, what is Wu Anjun's attitude towards this?"

Looking at the comrades who had gathered quietly, Zhao Jiang made a decision in an instant and whispered, "This is not the place to talk."

"My fellow comrades, please come to my tent and have a chat!"

Li Mu was willing to die for his loyalty and righteousness.

But for the generals under Li Mu, Li Mu's loyalty was not their loyalty.

What really matters to them is profit!
