Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 227 Li Mu's Danger
Zhao Palace

Today's King Zhao is extraordinarily excited, and there is no other reason, but just now, according to the military report from the north, Qin State has faintly planned to withdraw its troops.

The [-] Qin troops who were still entrenched in Jingjing had begun to disperse and retreated to Langqu City behind.Only part of the troops were left to garrison Jingjing City.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xiangguo, please see me!" Just as Zhao Yan was drinking a little wine and complacent, an eunuch bowed his waist and reported to Zhao Yan.

"Oh? Master Xiangguo is here?" Zhao Yan's expression brightened.

The current Guo Kai can be said to be Zhao Yan's number one assistant.Not only did Guo Kai have an extremely detailed understanding of the matters above the court, he has repeatedly settled the conflicts among the courtiers for Zhao Yan.From time to time, I will find some interesting things and dedicate them to him.Eat, drink and have fun.

Guo Kai took small steps, prostrated himself on the ground in a hurry, and saluted Zhao Yan.

"Xiangguo, why do you do such a great gift? Get up quickly! Get up quickly!" Zhao Yan was taken aback for a moment, then hurried forward, trying to help Guo get up.

"My lord! Li Mu! Li Mu!"

There was a tremor in Guo Kai's voice, as if he had encountered something extremely shocking and frightening.

"Haha, Xiangguo also knows the news that the Qin army in the north is about to withdraw?" Zhao Yan laughed loudly, and at the same time, he became more and more satisfied with Guo Kai's loyalty.

"My lord! You have been deceived!"

However, Guo Kai suddenly raised his head and shouted, his scarlet eyes were filled with a trace of fear.

"What? Been cheated? Didn't the Qin army evacuate!"

Guo Kai's words were like a thunderbolt, which made Zhao Yan startled and angry, and at the same time, there was a trace of fear of Qin Jun in his heart.

"No, Qin Jun's evacuation is evacuation, but, but..."

"That's good! That's good!"

As soon as Zhao Yan heard that the Qin army had withdrawn, he breathed a sigh of relief before Guo Kai finished speaking.

"But, Li Mu has already betrayed the country!" Guo Kai's voice was like shouting from the depths of his heart.In the entire hall, there were echoes suddenly.

"Li Mu treason?"

Zhao Yan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, waved his hands and said: "Xiangguo, don't worry about the sky, Li Mu's family is in my Handan, how could it be possible to treason?"

"Look, Your Majesty!"

Guo Kai took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, raised it over his head, and handed it to Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan frowned, then looked at Guo Kai, his expression didn't seem like he was cheating before he reached out and took the densely packed bamboo slips.

The characters on the bamboo slips are extremely small and messy, and the ink has melted in some places, which shows that the writing is very urgent, before the ink has dried.

Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes and struggled to recognize the words on it one by one.

"Brother Li Pastor... I would like to pay my respects...Senior brother protects... Today's glory and wealth...There is nothing to repay...Withdrawing troops to ease the danger of senior brother..."

What was recorded on the bamboo slips was Ying Zheng's private letter to Li Mu.In the end, Le Ren sent the content of the private message to Handan verbatim.

The person in charge of contacting Le Ren is none other than Xiangguo Guo Kai.

"Bastard!"

In the hall that had just calmed down, Zhao Yan's roar sounded again.

"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a roar, mixed with the sound of something breaking.It made all the court eunuchs tremble.

"Li Mu! Li Mu! So it was you! So it was you! It turns out that you were the one who let Ying Zheng go!" Zhao Yan roared hoarsely.

Memories from ten years ago, like a flood of beasts, rushed towards Zhao Yan again.

The courtiers' criticisms, the king's brother making things difficult, and the ridicule.Zhao Yan, who has a very good face and thinks highly of himself, has been unable to lift his head.Even after he ascended the throne, most of the anger he received was due to this.

Everything started because of Li Mu!Let me ask, how could Zhao Yan not hate Li Mu so much after he found out about it?
"Cough! Cough!"

Zhao Yan covered his mouth and coughed violently.A bright red color flowed out along the gap in the hand.

"Your Majesty, take care of your body!" Guo Kai quickly stood up, patted Zhao Yan on the back, and spoke for him.At the same time, he did not forget to yell: "Quickly send the imperial doctor!"

"Don't kill Li Mu! I swear I won't be a human being!" Zhao Yan said viciously, enduring the bloody smell in his mouth.

Guo Kai, standing behind Zhao Yan, showed a sly smile.His eyes lightly glanced at the bamboo slips that Zhao Yan was still holding firmly, and his complacency flashed across.

The content on the bamboo slips is true, and it is also true that Le Ren issued it.However, Guo Kai also tampered with this small piece of bamboo.

Originally, although the handwriting on the bamboo slips was somewhat blurred, it was never so blurred.And this is what Guo Kai did.

Deliberately blurring most of the words that can be identified originally, and leaving some vague and misleading words and sentences.

At that time, even if Li Mu passed on the authentic copy in his hand to Handan, it would have nothing to do with Guo Kai.And Zhao Yan, who has already fallen into the dominance, will not even take a look at Li Mu's real copy at that time.

In this way, even if Li Mu was full of mouths, he couldn't justify himself.

"It seems that the layout ten years ago has finally achieved results today!" Guo Kaixin couldn't help but smile triumphantly again.

Ten years ago, Guo Kai spared no effort to defend Zhao Yan for the matter of Ba Xing.In addition to sending charcoal in the snow, another purpose is to make Zhao Yanji hate Li Mu.

Today, the past ten years ago is being mentioned again.Especially the words "No way to repay" on the bamboo slips deeply hurt Zhao Yan.

"Your Majesty, you can't touch Li Mu at this time!"

This is the beginning of Guo Kai's expressive performance.

"Can't move?" Zhao Yan was taken aback for a moment, then stared fiercely at Guo Kai, and said grimly: "Such a traitor, why can't I move him!"

"My lord! The Qin army retreated because of Li Mu. If the king immediately removed Li Mu's military post, wouldn't the Qin army come back again!" Guo Kai ignored Zhao Yan's eyes that almost swallowed him, " bitterly," said.

"..." Zhao Yan originally wanted to curse, but Guo Kai abruptly stopped him.

Knowingly that he is a rebellious minister, but he still needs to rely on such a rebellious minister to maintain the safety of the country.Such things are like being slapped in the face and having to lick your face to apologize.

Extremely useless!

"Crack!"

With a soft sound, the bamboo slip in Zhao Yan's hand was broken into two halves.

"The widow knows!" In Zhao Yan's voice, calm was restored again.

However, Guo Kai knew that the calmer Zhao Yan was at this time, the more anger in his heart would expand, and he was just waiting for an opportunity to erupt.

"Speed ​​up that plan, let that person replace Li Mu as soon as possible!" Zhao Yan said fiercely, throwing the broken bamboo slips in his hand on the ground.

"only!"
