Zhao Gao breathed a big sigh of relief and almost collapsed on the ground, but he didn't dare to sit down. He stood up tremblingly, bent over and lowered his eyebrows and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"This matter was done well, but Zheng didn't expect that you would also have such a glorious time." Ying Zheng seemed to have said this unintentionally, but Zhao Gao's expression changed drastically, and he made a 'bang' sound again.

He knelt down heavily on the ground, his kneecaps hit the floor hard, making a loud sound, and a sharp pain made Zhao Gao's face pale, but at this moment he didn't care about his knees, which were already bleeding.

, but because of Ying Zheng's words, he was extremely chilled. At this moment, he was only left with fear and uneasiness. Fear was tightly wrapped in his heart like water weeds and vines, making him so heavy that he couldn't breathe, and his whole body felt like he was at home.

The ice cellar shook, but he closed his eyes and squeezed out a sentence: "Everything I have is a gift from the king."

Ying Zheng nodded and didn't say anything else. Zhao Gao had given Qian Ji Zi to Lao Ai on his orders, but Zhao Gao had some thoughts from it and even wanted to befriend Lao Ai. He had selfish motives, but it was not him.

He could tolerate it, so he beat him a lot. Seeing that Zhao Gao was so frightened, he sneered twice and gave up. There were not many servants around him who could use him at this time. Zhao Gao had a lot of skills.

He is talented and ruthless, and more importantly, he knows the current affairs. It is not bad to entrust him with many private matters. He is a person who can be used for the time being. Ying Zheng has never thought of asking him at this time.

He was destined to die, so it seemed that he was still afraid, so he didn’t say anything more.

On the other hand, Lao Ai lured hundreds of street wanderers to the Kingdom of Zhao. Although he didn't have many people, the people who could accompany him on this expedition were all people he trusted. These people were the most rogue and ruthless, and they were willing to fight to the death.

After Ai arrived in the State of Zhao, he did not follow the rules and seriously interacted with the two countries. Instead, he directly asked the King of Zhao to hand over the Qin traitor Cheng Qiao by name.

At this time, the general guarding Handan was Li Mu. When he received Lao Ai's words, he couldn't help but smile, but he didn't look down on a treasonous traitor like Cheng Qiao, so he followed the list sent by Lao Ai.

He was immediately sent to the palace of King Zhao. Cheng Qiao was so frightened that he couldn't hand him over. He knew that if he was taken into the hands of Ying Zheng, no matter what the reason was,

For this purpose, neither Ying Zheng nor Lu Buwei could let him live. King Zhao hesitated in his heart, Lao Ai and his party were not enough, but he was backed by the second general Meng Ao and Wang Jian. Meng Ao was ruthless and a famous fierce general. Qin

The country's 80,000-strong army is not child's play. If Li Mu is to attack the general, although Li Mu has a formidable reputation, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. The Zhao Kingdom does not have many soldiers and horses, and I am afraid that it will suffer a big loss. Cheng Qiao will not be worthwhile.

King Mourning Xiang was hesitant, but Lao Ai lost his patience. He was waiting to make great achievements in order to lay the foundation for his future achievements. Cheng Qiao was a stone blocking the road. How could he not be eradicated?

The truth! However, he also knows his own ability. Although he has some men now, most of them are rabble and cannot rise to the level of elegance. Li Mu is a famous general in Zhao State. He himself knows that if he really wants to fight a general, it will not be Li Mu.

The opponent may have to lose his life here. After thinking about it, Lao Ai sent Sun Jie, a close friend of his, to Tunliu to meet Meng Ao and Wang Jian, saying that he was willing to cooperate with them to discuss attacking Zhao.

Big plan.

When Meng Ao received Lao Ai's letter, he felt shameless, but he had already received secret orders from Ying Zheng, so after meeting the man named Sun Jie, he sent him back with just a few words.

Sun Ji felt that his face was shameless, so he returned to Lao Ai and added some words of jealousy to Meng Ao's coldness towards him. Lao Ai was just a scoundrel in the market in the past, and he hated people looking down on him the most. After listening to Sun Ji's words

, furious, Yin laughed twice, thinking of the secret medicine in his hand, he disguised himself and went to see Meng Ao once. This man is cruel and ruthless. If he wants to be the head of Empress Dowager Zhao and only seeks wealth, naturally he cannot be a cherisher.

For a person with a good reputation, the Thousand Machines medicine is extremely overbearing. Even if his reputation will be ruined and he will be scolded after using it, Lao Ai doesn't care at this time. Instead, he takes this medicine as a good deed. After seeing Meng Ao, he is just arrogant.

Ang, said that he had the secret medicine in his hand that could kill the Zhao people. As long as Meng Ao and others would back him up, and wait until the Zhao people were half dead, then they would help him and remove the entire Zhao country from among the other countries.

yes.

It was just a matter of borrowing his reputation. Meng Ao had already received Ying Zheng's signal, and he naturally agreed happily. Lao Ai just thought that he was afraid of her, and went back with an arrogant laugh. She also sent the man who was not afraid of death and only wanted wealth for his parents with him.

Qian Jizi disguised himself and sneaked into the city.

In less than three days, some people in the Zhao Kingdom gradually contracted a debilitating disease with yellow pox on their faces. This pox spread very quickly. In just half a month, most of the people in the city were infected. The people in the Zhao Kingdom only regarded themselves as

After contracting the plague, King Mouxiang ordered disease doctors to guard the palace. Unfortunately, a month later, people from Zhao State died one after another. At this time, someone spread that Zhao State was unkind and had been sent by heaven. King Mouxiang was shocked and lost his temper.

, not caring about his subjects at this time, he took Li Mu and others overnight, packed up his belongings, and fled out of the city. For fear of being infected by the plague, he even ordered the army to suppress the city gate and prevent the people from following him out of the city.

Immediately, there was a lot of resentment among the people, and King Zhao's reputation was ruined. At this moment, Lao Ai appeared proudly, leading more than 500 people around him. As soon as Li Mu and others left, he locked the gate of Handan, imitating Meng Ao's technique of lighting a fire.

, lit firewood all around Handan City, and immediately, flames shot up into the sky in Handan City. Accompanied by bursts of crying and shouting, a fire broke out in this city that had existed for almost two hundred years. Lao Ai was very proud,

Looking at the blazing fire in front of them, it is like seeing their own wealth and wealth. Just like this fire, some people feel pity for the jewelry and other things in the city, but think of the infinite wealth in the future if Lao Ai removes Cheng Qiao. There is also a poisonous plague in Handan City.

, so I don’t feel it’s such a pity.

Lao Ai set fire to Handan City. He stayed outside the city that night to make sure that there were no survivors in the city. He was also afraid that Li Mu would turn his horse and come back. He also knew that King Yaoxiang had no time to escape before leaving, so he did not care about those who were still in the city.

Cheng Qiao, therefore, it was certain that Cheng Qiao was dead at this moment. As long as he knew that his merits were in hand, he led his men and horses to Xianyang City overnight, fearing that he would be hit by Li Mu. He might earn merits but not enjoy wealth.

At this time, after Li Mu, who had been tricked out of the city, learned about King Zhao's plan, he was furious and rushed back with his troops overnight. What was left to him was a dead city that was mostly burning. The fire had already burned for two days.

, and with the help of the wind and tung oil, there were no survivors inside. At this time, the only sound left was the sound of the fire burning, and the sounds of Li Mu and other Zhao people gnashing their teeth and breathing with red eyes.

"General..." Someone's eyes were red, and he was slapping his horse and marching out. His voice was filled with infinite hatred, and his teeth were clattering. The hand holding the sword was so hard that the veins stretched out. In Handan City,

, and many of them were the fathers and sisters of the Zhao soldiers. Now that a fire had burned them all, everyone was so painful that they could not speak. Li Mu's face was also flushed. He was already in his forties at this time.

A few years ago, due to his years of military service, his face looked very resolute and did not look old. Unfortunately, looking at the fire in front of him, his heart ached, and he suddenly appeared tired and old. He waved his hands and choked with sobs.

Can't say a word.

"Who did this? General, please avenge the blood of Handan parents!" Someone gritted his teeth and his eyes were red, and squeezed out this sentence. Everyone who was originally silent suddenly shook up, as if they had found the target.

Generally speaking, everyone's eyes were filled with fire, and they couldn't help but echo: "Yes, revenge!"

Li Mu's eyes were red, and the beard under his lips swayed slightly as he gritted his teeth. There was an indescribable sadness and heaviness on this iron-blooded general. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance, and the Zhao soldiers quickly rushed to the scene.

With their hands on the long swords behind their waists, they all stared in the direction of the visitor with hatred. Meng Ao, Wang Jian and others had seen the fire in Handan City as early as yesterday, but Meng Ao did not expect this.

Ai was so ruthless that his methods were a bit more brutal than his own. However, he was responsible for his duties. He also brought people over to clean up the aftermath. Firstly, he wanted to remove the remaining living people of the Zhao Kingdom and completely eradicate the Zhao Kingdom.

I came here because of the person in front of me - Li Mu.

Meng Ao knew that Li Mu was loyal, brave and kind-hearted. He was first deceived by King Zhao Daoxiang as a talisman. If he knew the true situation in Handan City, with his intelligence, he would definitely come back. He had already received instructions from Ying Zheng to order

After bringing this fierce general under the command of Qin, when Meng Ao and Wang Jian came over with their troops, they saw Li Mu with about 5,000 light cavalry already guarding the gates of the blazing Handan City. They couldn't help but admire them in their hearts.

Ying Zheng made a clever plan. At this moment, the two armies were facing each other. The Zhao officers and soldiers all had a look of hatred on their faces, as if they were facing a powerful enemy. Looking at the 80,000-strong army, everyone's heart seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of hatred.

It was like a layer of shadow, so heavy that I couldn't speak.

"General Meng is taking advantage of the situation to rob you?" Li Mu's face was cold. He had already put away the heavy pain in his heart and quickly calmed down. Looking at the 80,000 Qin soldiers in front of him, he quickly began to plot against himself.

Waiting for the chance of victory for others, it was just that the Qin people were in darkness in front of him, as far as the eye could see. Looking at the five thousand people around him, although they were all elite soldiers led by him, Li Mu believed that his soldiers would not be defeated by others, but in the

Suppressed by the overwhelming numbers of the Qin people, his face could not help but show a hint of defeat. He let out a long sigh, threw the long sword that was still lying across his chest heavily on the ground, and said loudly: "General Meng, although

Recently, the bad reputation of General Meng has spread, but I think that General Meng is a rare and powerful general in this world. If I don't make a deal with the general, what will the general do?"

The Zhao people who were ready to attack were stunned when they saw Li Mu's move. However, they had followed Li Mu for many years and saw the determination and calmness in Li Mu's eyes.

Spicy weeds are famous for cutting off the roots without leaving any survivors. Nowadays, the Qin State has a large number of people, and it is difficult for him and others to be the enemy. It is really difficult to survive. What Li Mu plans to do is naturally self-evident. Many people knelt down, and some people were already whispering.

He started crying. The man didn't shed tears easily, but he was not sad yet. At this time, Zhao Ren had just experienced the tragic situation of losing his country and his family, and seeing that Li Mu was willing to protect them with his life, everyone was suddenly blinded by tears, and there was a wave of tears.

The extremely sad atmosphere was as real as ever, hanging thickly over everyone's heads, making people so uncomfortable that they were speechless.

"Why did General Li say this? Ao has been admiring you for a long time. If General Li says this, Ao will die without regrets!" After hearing Li Mu's words, Meng Ao couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy in his heart. This Li Mu

He is magnanimous, has a deep conscience, and has a great reputation. Now it is rare that he can put his own life and death aside, and he is willing to sacrifice his good years for the lives of his subordinates. It is really admirable.

Li Mu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Meng Ao's words coming from the bottom of his heart. He glanced at Meng Ao and felt a good impression in his heart. However, he was determined to die at this time. He had been appreciated by King Zhao Guohui and was reused in his life. Who could have imagined that

How could the Zhao family, a great and powerful country in those days, be in such a miserable situation now? He had been loyal to the State of Zhao all his life and treated the people of the State of Zhao as his relatives. However, in the end, King Zhaoxiang of the Zhao family deceived him, so that the people of the Zhao family were almost extinct. At this moment

Li Mu couldn't help but have countless desolate thoughts in his heart, and he suddenly felt the will to live and die. He felt that all thoughts were lost, and he had no intention of living anymore. It would be better to die while he was alive to see the country destroyed and his family destroyed. It would be a good thing if he could save everyone's lives.

"General Meng, I will make a deal with you. I am willing to die to save the lives of all the officers and soldiers of Zhao State. As long as General Meng is willing not to kill them, the officers and soldiers of Zhao State are willing to return to General Meng's command and serve the King of Qin. General Meng only wants to

If you are willing to accept them, this person is all led by a certain hand. His character is so good that he dares to be called a soldier under the command of the general. It will be a good thing to accompany you on your expeditions from north to south." Li Mu smiled, and unexpectedly

He said such a sentence. He knew that if he had not wanted these Zhao soldiers to return to Qin's tent, with the character of his men and the Qin people's determination to eradicate them, they would never let these Zhao soldiers go.

In the first place, it would be better to fulfill the fate of everyone by myself. Anyway, the Zhao Kingdom is now dead, and the words of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism will become a joke in the end. If you simply fulfill Ying Zheng's fate, so what?

When all the Zhao people heard what Li Mu said, they couldn't help but be shocked. Li Mu was deeply loved and famous in the hearts of the Zhao people. All the soldiers had followed him for many years. In the hearts of the people, Li Mu was like a god, and everyone regarded him as him.

Even if he died, no one would complain. At this time, Li Mu blatantly asked everyone to rebel. Not only did everyone not regard him as a traitor, but they felt great pain in their hearts. Some even cried loudly. Originally, Tie Zhengzheng

A man who had shed blood, sweat, and no tears during the battle with the Huns was now crying like a three-year-old child, with a voice that made people cry.
