Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 776 Tool Man Plus One
  Gu Xun replied with some emotion, "A foolish king who is suspicious and feels that his royal power is unstable is inherently crazy, and it is not surprising that he will do anything."

Li Zuoche was silent.

He was just a little surprised at first, but after he calmed down he understood... indeed, nothing he did was unusual.

"Are you going to kill me..." Li Mu shook his head and laughed, "If you want to kill me, come and try."

Li Mu didn't care much about the so-called murder. It was not easy to kill him.

He is a master of military skills. He is one of the few who has strong military skills and martial arts. His strength is at the top of the list. Even a first-class killer with one or two snares cannot easily take him down.

Just those rotten fish and shrimps under Zhao Wangqian who wanted to kill him in the camp... Even without his personal guards, the success rate was very slim.

But this does not mean that he can sit back and relax. On the contrary, this may be the end of him.

In any case, Zhao Wangqian is a king, a king who holds etiquette, law and justice, and he is just a minister.

If Zhao Wangqian kills him, there will be chaos in the army. Wang Jian will not be able to miss this great opportunity...

If he is defeated, what's the point of his life?

Zhao Jun was at the end of his war effort at this time and could not tolerate any mistakes. A major defeat was equivalent to a landslide. It was unstoppable. Even if Li Mu was a man of heaven, he would not be able to stop the collapse of the sky and the earth.

However, Li Mu did not show any anxiety or panic, and remained calm.

No one can help him with this matter, just wait quietly for everything to come and then face it.

Everything else is not necessary.

Gu Xun was not too surprised when he saw Li Mu's behavior. He spread his hands and said casually, "Although I know it is useless, I still ask General Li Mu as the master of the Qin State, if you are willing to surrender?"

"Well...I won't talk about the benefits and conditions. Anyway, I must have everything I should have."

"Hehehe..." Li Mu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Gu Xun's insincere attempt to persuade him to surrender, "Mr. Gu is still so funny."

"It's a pity that since I am a general of Zhao, I have no reason to rebel against the country and surrender to Qin."

Looking at Li Mu, who still looked calm even though he knew the end was near, Gu Xun couldn't help but sigh inwardly, maybe this was 'nine deaths and no regrets'.

Although he doesn't understand this so-called loyalty, Gu Xun respects Li Mu's choice.

"In that case..." Gu Xun turned his attention to Li Zuoche, who had been silent all the time. "General Li Mu, how do you plan to arrange your stay?"

When Li Zuoche heard the mention of himself, he recovered from his daze and immediately responded, "I want to stay with my grandfather!"

Gu Xun pursed his lips and asked straightforwardly, "And then 'die' with him?"

Without waiting for Li Zuoche to answer, Gu Xun continued, "Regardless of the positive effects of your stay, just looking at your martial arts, I know that you will be a complete burden next time."

"Of course, you can be taken by the world-renowned military god General Li Mu at such a young age, which shows that your abilities are by no means as shallow as your age. But I think General Li Mu still has lost his right-hand man Sima Shang. I won’t be able to find a few suitable deputies and have to keep you here.”

"..." Li Zuoche opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything to refute.

Because he really doesn't play a big role, but he doesn't want to be a 'coward' who runs away.

Seeing him like this, Gu Xun shrugged, "So I advise you to obey your grandfather's arrangements and leave."

"This is the most valuable option."

At this time, Li Mu, who had been silently watching Gu Xun preach to his grandson, finally reacted. He glanced at Li Zuoche, who had lowered his head because of Gu Xun's words but was still unwilling to let go. He did not take advantage of the situation to continue to lecture him. .

Li Mu knew that his intelligent grandson already knew exactly what he should do, but...he just couldn't say it out loud.

He could understand the young man's stubbornness, because he didn't want to be a 'deserter' either.

"Mr. Gu asked, does he have some thoughts about Zuo Che?"

Gu Xun nodded politely and admitted, "That's right." "I am quite short of talents under my command now, and I think he is pretty good."

But Li Zuoche raised his head and shouted, "I will never surrender to the Qin army!"

Then he lowered his head to pretend to be an ostrich.

When Li Mu heard this, he stroked his beard and felt a little moved.

Li Zuoche was still young, and his military skills and strategies could not be wasted. Therefore, it was necessary to choose a force to join. Gu Xun was undoubtedly a good choice, at least the safety issue was very guaranteed.

He didn't mind the so-called dispute between Qin and Zhao. His choice to be loyal to Zhao and resist Qin was just his choice. It didn't mean that Li Zuoche had to follow the same path as him.

But this child is so resistant, so it’s not easy to force it too much.

Gu Xun explained at this time, "I have no intention of letting you join the Qin Army."

"Huh?" Li Zuoche raised his head and looked at Gu Xun doubtfully.

Gu Xun spread his hands and said, "At least for a long period of time, I have no intention of getting involved in Qin's military affairs."

"Then why are you recruiting me?" Li Zuoche asked subconsciously.

Gu Xun replied, "My people are now attacking Baiyue. If you are willing to follow me, that is, join Liusha, you will also go to Baiyue to lead troops to fight."

"But the ones we lead are not the Central Plains army, but the Yue army."

"Baiyue?" Li Zuoche repeated hesitantly.

Not interfering with the Qin army, but using his personal power to conquer Baiyue privately... What does this Qin national advisor want to do?
  Looking for an opportunity to rebel?
  A bit unrealistic, right?

Li Mu was also a little curious on the side.

After seeing the power of Gu Xun's sword, he certainly wouldn't think that the other party would rebel and become king.

But... what is his purpose in cultivating power in Baiyue?

Gu Xun did not mean to explain the confusion between the ancestors and grandsons, and further said, "Of course, I said this is only temporary, and Qin will still be unable to avoid it in the future, but the Qin State at that time, and the Qin State at this time, will definitely It’s no longer the same.”

"The most important thing is that I don't restrict your freedom. If you don't want to at that time, you can decide to stay or leave on your own."

This condition can be said to be very favorable.

Li Zuoche stopped saying anything and lowered his head again, but his attitude was expressed.

Li Mu knew that his grandson had already made a decision, so he smiled and said, "Zuo Che, it's late, you should go back and rest."

Hearing his grandfather's expulsion, Li Zuoche remained silent. He silently stood up and saluted Gu Xun and Li Mu respectively, and then left the commander's tent.

Gu Xun and Li Mu were left.

The old general looked at Gu Xun and said solemnly, "From now on, Mr. Gu will take care of this child Zuo Che."

Gu Xun nodded, "Don't worry, General Li Mu."

When Li Mu heard this, he stroked his beard happily, and his tough, rough face showed an uncontrollable joy.

Regardless of his fate, at least his grandson's life is safe.

"Mr. Gu just said that reminding me is just the first thing, what about other things?" After Li Zuoche's matter was settled, Li Mu immediately asked again.

Gu Xun slowly named another person that Li Mu was worried about.

"The other thing is about General Sima Shang."
