Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 66 Half a jade pendant
Sometimes fate is like this, often when you are the happiest, you will suddenly pour a pot of cold water.When Li Mu led his four cronies to Taniguchi, he found that a person he could never have imagined was already waiting at Taniguchi.

I saw a young man in white robes, kneeling quietly behind a flat bluestone, tasting some seasonal wild fruits with relish, and a delicate and charming woman stood quietly by the side, with armed warrior guards on each side.

It was Ziying and his party. The maid on the side was Xia Ke who was ordered by Ziying's mother to protect him personally. The generals on both sides were Sima Shang and Peng Yue, the two commanders of Shenzhouwei.

After Xu Cheng arrived in Handan, he kept sending people back with the progress of the matter. After Ziying got the news of Zhao Cong's departure, he estimated the time, and brought a few people to this valley entrance yesterday evening to wait for Li Mu.

"General Li's pommel horse has worked hard all the way, why don't you try some wild fruits from the mountains prepared here." Ziying said courteously.

"Your Excellency Rao Yangjun, why are you here? Could it be that you made a special trip to wait for someone Li?" Li Mu asked suspiciously.

Li Mu didn't have much contact with Ziying, even counting the meeting when Ziying was young, it was only a couple of times.Although he was not sure why Ziying appeared here, Li Mu believed that it was definitely not a coincidence.

"With General Li's intellect, can't he guess the reason?" Ziying replied calmly, "I can know the big and small events that happened in Handan, and I also know the content of King Zhao's decree.

It was even easier to find out when Zhao Cong set off. Zhao Cong should have arrived at the Bo people yesterday with the horse's feet. "

"Then how did you know that Li Mu will come to the west instead of other directions?" Li Mu continued to ask.

"Bairen City is surrounded by Taihang in the west, Qin army in the north, Zhao's hinterland in the east, and Handan in the south. Although the Qin army is stationed in the north, but the Qin army does not come out, the farther is the northern counties of Zhao State where the general used to guard.

According to common sense, the general should go north, and if he is in trouble, he should also go east.Handan has become an isolated city, and it will be found if you go there, and the western Taihang is even more desolate. "

"Then why is the son here?"

"Isn't the general here too?" Ziying asked back, "Since General Li would normally go north or east, then those two directions must not go. The south is a self-inflicted trap, so Ziying wants the general to be determined." When we come to the west, we will go early to wait for the general on the only way to enter the mountain."

"Heaven perishes the Kingdom of Zhao!" Li Mu said sadly, "The Kingdom of Qin has an immortal general and a genius like a son, and the Kingdom of Zhao is in danger."

"The general was wrong. It wasn't the sky that destroyed Zhao, but self-destruction. Ziying knows all about Zhao's affairs, doesn't the general understand?"

After listening to Ziying's words, even if Li Mudang understood that there must be someone in Handan City who had tipped off the Qin army, and such a secret matter could be found out, the identity of this traitor was definitely at the top of the court.

Thinking of this, Li Mu suddenly became incomparably sad and angry, "These are traitors who have no shame or conscience!"

Thinking that he led the soldiers to fight bloody battles on the front line, but the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the rear were so well-versed in foreign countries, Li Mu suddenly felt a little bit dizzy with hatred, wishing to peel these people for cramps.

Suddenly Li Mu raised his head abruptly, stared at Ziying firmly and said. "The matter of Handan, could it be that it is also..."

"That's right, I arranged for someone to alienate you, General, but I never thought that Zhao Qian would believe so many people in Zhao Guochaotang who were willing to help me." Ziying replied.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you for revenge?" Li Mu said harshly, and the four Zhao generals behind Li Mu also clenched their weapons. "Just Sima Shang and the others can't protect you."

At this moment, Ziying did not have the slightest fear, and said calmly: "I believe in General Li's character, since I dared to bring a few people to meet, I believe that the general will not take advantage of others' danger.

What's more, doesn't the general want to see your family? "

Hearing this, Li Mu immediately let go of all his defenses, and said tremblingly. "My family, are they still alive?"

"Before the execution, I ordered someone to rescue him in advance. Now he is secretly placed in a very safe place in Handan City. When Handan City is destroyed, the general can reunite with his family." Ziying replied. "By the way, I forgot to congratulate the general. Your son was blessed with a son a few days ago. General Li has become a grandfather."

After listening to Ziying's words, Li Mu seemed to have returned to heaven from hell.The haze since hearing the bad news was swept away in an instant. "My family is alive and I still have a home!"

Taking advantage of the moment when Li Mu was excited, Ziying said in a persuasive manner. "Although Ziying contributed to the incident in Handan, the generals of Zhao Guochaotang still can't see clearly.

No matter how great the general's contribution is, if he has any doubts, he will throw it away like a shoestring, and even kill his whole family, so why bother to die for him.

In such a state of Zhao, does the general think that there is still salvation?Now my Great Qin dominates SX and commands Bashu, with sufficient soldiers and provisions.Under several generations of management, the trend of engulfing the world has become a reality.How about the general abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and help our Qin army to clear up the war as soon as possible, so that everyone of the common people can live a life without war.

My Great Qin has always welcomed talents like generals, and Li Si, Wei Liao and others are not from Qin, but they all occupy high positions.If the general goes as he wishes, Ziying will recommend him to the king. "

Ziying said sincerely.

After Li Mu listened, he suddenly became silent, frowning tightly and did not reply a word.

Ziying thought for a while, and Dang even understood what Li Mu was thinking.It seems that Li Mu's idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor is still very stubborn.It should be because he is worried that his family is still in his hands, but he dare not refuse in person, for fear that his family will be harmed in a fit of anger.

For Li Mu, Ziying is of course very eager, and he is one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period who will last forever.Ziying in the previous life, when he learned about Li Mu's experience in history textbooks, felt extremely sorry for Li Mu's fate, regretted his misfortune, and respected his integrity.

Although, judging by Li Mu's performance, it is obvious that he attaches great importance to his family, if Ziying threatens the safety of his family, it is impossible to say that Li Mu may be made to succumb.However, Ziying was unwilling to use this means to threaten this strong general.

Immediately said: "General, don't worry too much. No matter what the general chooses, after Handan City is broken, the general's family and children will send escorts to reunite with the general."

Li Mu was taken aback when he heard this, he never expected that Ziying would not threaten him with his family in his hands.

"Thank you Lord Raoyang!" Li Mu cupped his hands and said. "The former kings treated Li Mu very kindly, Mu failed to fight to the death on the battlefield, and since he has no face to face each other, it is really difficult to turn against each other.

In the future, if the young master has any entrustment, except for the Seven Kingdoms War, Mu will do his best. "

"Since General Li is not far away from joining the Qin army, Ziying will not be able to force others to do anything difficult." After finishing speaking, he took off his jade pendant, broke it into two pieces with force, and handed half to Li Mu. "As the general said, the future will be as if the people are dying, and I hope the general will come out to help me."

Seeing that Li Mu was slightly puzzled, Ziying went on to say: "General, please rest assured, this time the battle to unify the six countries, Ying will never bother the general."

After hearing Ziying's promise, Li Mu just took half of Ziying's jade pendant.

Although Zhao Guojun and ministers did not trust Li Mu very much, Li Mu did not want to take up the sword and point it at his motherland.Li Mu thought that what he had said was very clear, he no longer wanted to participate in the war between the Seven Kingdoms, the so-called words of service were not involved in the Seven Kingdoms War, presumably Ziying would not need him either.

However, Ziying immediately found some loopholes in Li Mu's words. If the history is difficult to change in the future, the war will not be limited to the seven countries.

Since you said it yourself, no matter if it is true or not, you should climb up the pole first, and then talk about it when you get down.Presumably with Li Mu's disposition, he would never regret what he said in the future.
