Chapter 161 I, Guo Kai, am not afraid of death! (Please subscribe~)

King Zhao was also feeling very uncomfortable on the throne at this time. He didn't know if it was because he was nervous or something else, but his face was covered with sweat, which he wiped hurriedly.

"My dear ministers, the Qin army is approaching the city. Do you have a good strategy to meet the enemy?"

"Kings!"

As soon as the words fell, one of them could no longer bear it and knelt down to beg, "The current situation cannot be solved without the help of Generals Li Mu and Sima. Please, Your Majesty, take back your order and release the two generals from house arrest!"

"Yes, at this critical moment of life and death, only these two can turn the tide!"

"Tong Qin is only a suspicion after all. We can't dig our own graves at this critical moment!"

Other civil officials also followed suit, except for Guo Kai and a few others who remained motionless.

Faced with so many petitions, King Zhao was hesitant and unable to make a decision for a moment.

Of course, he hoped very much that Li Mu and Sima Shang could go to battle and defeat the powerful Qin, but he could not ignore the evidence of their collusion with Qin that he had obtained a few days ago.

If they really rebelled, and I handed the army over to them, wouldn't I be destroying the ancestral foundation and the thousand-year-old empire with my own hands?

Under such a dilemma, it was difficult for him to make a decision, so he could only look at Guo Kai: "My dear Guo, what do you think?"

The latter stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, I think that although the situation is critical now, Li Mu and Sima Shang are still not trustworthy. At least, we cannot hand over the military power to them before we investigate thoroughly."

"As for meeting the enemy, there are many defensive cities around Handan, and we still have 250,000 elite soldiers, which is enough to resist Qin. It is not the time to resort to desperate measures."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the civil officials.

"Guo Kai! You have repeatedly stopped Li Mu and Sima Shang from commanding the army. What is your intention?"

"I think you are here to cause trouble!"

"Both the north and south roads were lost because of your slanderous remarks! Flatterer, I think you have been ready to run away a long time ago!"

……

Faced with so many responsibilities, Guo Kai sneered, turned around and said loudly: "Okay, stop pretending to be loyal ministers. You keep wanting Li Mu and the other two to take charge of the army. Aren't you afraid that the Qin army will break into the city and you will have no way to survive?"

"King Ying Zheng of Qin suffered a lot in Handan. If the city is breached, I'm afraid all the officials who receive salaries will die. Isn't that what you are worried about?"

"In order to survive, you let a suspicious person take charge of the army and disregard the safety of our Zhao State. What do you think is your intention?"

"You are so capable! Go and kill the enemy on your own! I, Guo Kai, dare to do that, but do you dare?"

His voice was loud and full of sarcasm, instantly silencing everyone.

Indeed, they did not know whether Li Mu and the other two were loyal, but they were worried that the King of Qin would massacre officials after breaking into the city, so they kept persuading the King of Zhao to release the two from house arrest.

After all, it's all for yourself.

Seeing that they were silent, Guo Kai continued to use his eloquence and said sternly: "I, Guo Kai, prepared for a rainy day and funded Lu Buwei's rebellion. I was afraid that King Ying Zheng of Qin would grow up and take revenge on our Zhao State."

"Although I failed, I did my best. Now that the Qin army is at the gates of the city, I should be the one who is most afraid. But when have you ever seen me panic?"

"I, Guo Kai, am not afraid of death! It is an honor to die for the State of Zhao!"

Guo Kai's words were so powerful that King Zhao couldn't help but applaud and said, "Well, well, well, Lord Guo is worthy of being the pillar of the State of Zhao!"

"In this case, the military power of Li Mu and the others will be temporarily taken back. We will make a decision after the investigation is complete. Let's withdraw from the court."

Many ministers were unwilling, but were speechless after hearing what Guo Kai said, so they had to lower their heads and leave.

Prince Zhao was supported by the eunuchs and came to the study. The desk was already piled with memorials from various places. He held on to the table and squeezed into the chair with difficulty, sweating profusely.

"go Go."

He waved his hand with a gloomy face, and the eunuchs and palace maids beside him bent their bodies and left.

Looking at those memorials, although King Zhao didn't want to read any of them, he had to read them one by one, for fear of missing out on any hard-earned good news.

Soon, light footsteps were heard outside.

"Your Majesty, I have asked the Imperial Kitchen to prepare a bowl of medicinal food."

It was a female voice as gentle as water, which was enough to soften any man's heart. King Zhao's frown finally relaxed.

"Pearl, come in." "Yes."

The door was pushed open, and a refreshing fragrance wafted in. The goose yellow silk robe fluttered in King Zhao's eyes, and his eyes like spring water were also smiling.

……

Daicheng, one of the defensive cities surrounding Handan, is located on the banks of the Ming River. While other defensive cities were being fiercely attacked by the Qin army, this place seemed relatively quiet, with only a few thousand Qin soldiers wandering around outside.

At this time, the clouds were rolling and a figure was descending rapidly.

He was a middle-aged man, wearing a wide robe with floating clouds, with a black beard and a square face, and his eyes were bright and sharp. He was none other than Yun Zhongjun, the god of the Yin-Yang School.

At this moment, he looked at his gloomy face and was in a very unhappy mood. He hurriedly came to a closed room in the city tower mansion.

"My lord... no... no... please stop, I'm tired..."

"My little beauty, this is just the beginning!"

"It's been half an hour... uh... sir, I really can't take it anymore."

"Hold on, hold on, or I'll kill your husband and your child!"

"Woooooooo..."

Hearing the creaking sounds in the house, Yun Zhongjun's face became even gloomier and he kicked the door open with a bang.

Ah!
There was a sharp scream, and the woman on the bed in the room quickly pulled over the quilt. Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red, and she looked frightened.

"Hurry, hurry, we're here!"

The bald, red-faced River God was on top of her, and he anxiously put his arm around the woman's waist in an effort to detoxify her.

"roll."

Yun Zhongjun squeezed out a word with an expressionless face, and the woman immediately rolled off the bed as if relieved, covered her mouth and cried and ran away.

"Hey, Brother Qi, are you holding back your brother?"

He Bo's face turned red as he moved his hands in a perverted manner, which made Yun Zhongjun even more angry, gritting his teeth and walking away angrily.

A moment later, He Bo walked out with his trousers pulled up, and bumped head-on into Yun Zhongjun's fist.

Bang bang bang!
The recoil force was so terrifying that it instantly caused him to smash several walls before he could barely stop. Dust and smoke immediately rose up, and everyone around him was scared to scream.

"Cough cough..."

He Bo coughed and smiled bitterly, then stood up and looked at Yun Zhongjun who was looking sullen not far away and said, "Brother Qi, what are you doing?"

"The Qin army is stationed outside, and you still have the mood to hide here and play with women!"

"My city is very safe." He Bo scratched his bald head.

Yun Zhongjun took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "Safe? That's because Wang Jian and Li Xin didn't pay attention to this place. All their troops were placed in the main city. When they come to their senses, can you defend this city with your attitude?!"

"Master Shao Siming ordered us to delay time. Have you forgotten?"

He Bo was too guilty to look at him: "I haven't forgotten."

"Why don't you go to the city wall and guard it?"

Yun Zhongjun glared at him with a look of disappointment: "If I wasn't short of manpower right now, I would really like to skin you alive!"

Faced with the scolding from the first-level god Big Brother, He Bo could only nod his head angrily and dared not say another word.

……

At the foot of Madang Mountain.

The warhorse stopped with the clatter of its iron hooves, and hot air came out of its black nose as it shook its head.

"Brother Wu, the Ming River is ahead. After crossing the Ming River, the city in the distance is Daicheng. Another fifty miles to the south is Handan." Guo Huan said while panting.

 I have a little fever these two days, so I will give you 6,000 today. Please don't be offended, dear guests~~~~
