In Xianyang Palace, all the ministers looked at the king carefully, not daring to breathe.
The Hu people went south, and the time was just right to cause trouble. As soon as Ying Zheng met with the elders of the clan and prepared to help Zhao Ji's coffin return to Handan, you started the war at the border of Zhao State.
Mother Zhao Ji is Ying Zheng’s counterpart.
"I want to return to Handan with my mother, but the barbarians are attacking me. What can you do?"
After Ying Zheng asked this question, many people looked at Lu Yan.
But today Lu Yan did not come out to answer immediately.
The scene became slightly quiet.
Liao glanced at Lu Yan's back, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Zhao Kingdom's border troops have been guarding the North for a long time. This time, the barbarians stole the Zhao Great Wall. It is really abnormal. I suggest that you order General Wang Jian to raise the army immediately.
Go to Shangjun and take this opportunity to recall Li Hong and Sima Shang to Xianyang."
Li Si's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "I second the proposal. Zhao Di has recently surrendered, and his intentions are unpredictable. It is a wise move to recall Li Hong and Sima Shang. General Wang Jian is used to expel the Hu people, and another general is needed to garrison.
Zhao Guo, ensure the peace of Zhao."
"What Lord Shangqing and Lord Tingwei said is absolutely true."
"I second the proposal."
Ying Zheng didn't express anything, and said slowly: "All the ministers only answered the second half of my sentence."
Wang Wan's eyes suddenly widened, and he knelt down in front of the palace with a vigorous step, "No, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, being filial to your mother is a great virtue in heaven and earth, but this is war time, so I hope Your Majesty will think twice."
Lord Changping also advised: "Your Majesty, we should wait until the end of the war to return the Queen Mother."
Wei Zhuang also advised: "Yes, Your Majesty, Zhao Di has been originally appointed. If he disturbs the Queen Mother's Majesty, wouldn't it be against Your Majesty's sincere heart?"
Ying Zheng stood up suddenly, the Xuanmian on his head was shaking, "I have consulted the elders of the clan, Taishi's divination, and Master Yueshen's horoscope, and the date for the departure of the coffin has been determined. It's just a barbarian, so I don't dare to do anything as a son of a human being.
When my mother returns home, what use does she need from me, the great Qin warrior?!"
All the officials were stunned. Ying Zheng was determined to accompany his mother back to Handan, no matter whether there was a war or not.
Wang Wan knelt on the ground and kept looking at Lu Yan, hoping that he would come out and persuade the king not to be impulsive.
It's a pity that Lu Yan and him are not on the same side this time. For Ying Zheng to give up sending Zhao Ji back to Handan now, it is almost the same as killing him.
Lu Yan raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I recommend General Li Mu to go to Shangjun to expel the Hu people. General Wang Jian will still be stationed in Zhao to ensure the peace of Zhao. He can also escort the king to the Queen Mother."
Wang Wan pointed at him and was astonished, "Master Imperial Master, you!"
Li Si heard this and exclaimed: "Master Imperial Master, what did you say? Li Mu! Which Li Mu?"
"Of course it's the famous general of Zhao State, Li Mu."
He immediately raised his hands towards Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do this! Li Mu is in the border army and has such a high reputation among the Zhao people. How can you let Li Mu go to the north to take charge of the military?!"
Liao also echoed: "Your Majesty, your Majesty's move is a big mistake. Li Mu must not be allowed to take over the military power again."
No one in the entire Qin court dared to trust Li Mu at this time, and many ministers came out to oppose Lu Yan's suggestion.
Ying Zheng waved his hand to quiet the noisy hall, "National Master, is Li Mu worthy of your trust?"
Lu Yan did not hesitate, pointed to his head, and spoke loudly and forcefully: "Your Majesty, I am willing to use the head on my neck as a guarantee. Li Mu, I can trust you."
"Okay. According to my order, Li Mu will be the chief general and Meng Tian will be the deputy general. He will lead 50,000 troops and station in Shangjun. The border troops Li Hong and Sima Shang will also be under the command of Li Mu."
"King!"
"Your Majesty, you can't..."
"Your Majesty! Isn't such a military order child's play?! The Qin people and the Zhao people have such a bloody feud. To ask Li Mu to command the Qin and Zhao troops at the same time is simply asking for death!"
"Insolent! He said something unknown before the army moved. I have made up my mind. If anyone questions the military order again, he will be punished according to military laws."
Under Ying Zheng's intimidation, the ministers finally calmed down and reluctantly accepted this seemingly incredible fact.
"The widow and his party are from Handan, and Li Xin leads the army to protect them. They retreat from the court."
…
A fast horse crossed the path in the field, trampling many crops as it galloped.
Li Mu rushed over from the field with a hoe on his shoulder and roared: "Where did you come from, how dare you make cheap food!"
The horseman rolled off his horse and shouted: "The Hu people are going south and have passed the Zhao Great Wall. The king ordered Li Mu to be the chief general and Meng Tian to be the deputy general, leading an army of 50,000 to march northward."
Li Mu swung the hoe into the soil and took the King of Qin's edict from the opponent regardless of his dirty hands.
"National Master Lu Yan pledged his life as a guarantee, and Li Muke will be the chief general..."
He closed the edict with a "hu~" sound and looked at the farmland that was about to be harvested with deep eyes.
"The people of Qin and Zhao are from the same clan, and their clan name is Huaxia..."
Li Mu stuffed the edict into his clothes, grabbed the whip from the rider's hand, jumped on the horse, and said, "Drive!"
It was a fast journey back to my home here.
Zhao Jin heard the sound of horse hooves and neighing outside, wiped his hands and walked out and asked, "Who is it? Uh, senior?"
"Girl." Li Mu got off the horse, shouted, and walked quickly towards the house.
Nong Yuzheng walked out of the room holding a suit of armor, "Senior Li Mu, put it on."
Li Mu did not hesitate, and directly took the armor and started to put it on. While putting it on, he said: "The land here is good, and the seeds of Qin are good. I have never planted such a pleasant field before. The harvest here will trouble you."
"Senior, do you want to go on an expedition?" Zhao Jin covered his mouth, his eyes flickering, feeling very reluctant to leave.
"Girl, I am very ashamed. As a soldier of Zhao State, the Zhao State that I used to defend was the source of your crying. But now,"
"Crack!" Li Mu pulled out his sword, glanced at the blade, and instantly threw it back into the scabbard.
"There are no people from Zhao or Qin. No matter who they are, they are all common people. As soldiers, our bounden duty is to protect the people."
He mounted the horse again, and sat firmly with his legs sandwiched between the horse's belly. He gave Nong Yu and Zhao Jin a fist, and then swung the whip.
"Girl, wait until I come back before I can taste the rice you cooked with new rice. Come on~"
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, alarming many other people in the village.
There was a lot of discussion along the way.
"Who is that? Why does it look familiar?"
"It must be the old man Mu at the end of the village, he looks like him to me."
"Then the old man can still be a general?"
"Who knows? I'm telling you secretly, you know that Mr. Mu has two immortals in his family."
"Then who doesn't know."
"It is said that their origins are very extraordinary. The little prodigy of the Chen family often goes there to ask people to buy books."
"It's really amazing to be able to get a book."
"Hahaha, that tigress of the Chen family is not a vegetarian. That boy Chen Ping likes to run to other heavenly beings, but his brother is in trouble~"
"I remembered what you said, hahaha..."
"If you ask me, that girl is not very good. If I had such a child prodigy in my family, I would sell everything to support him in his education."
"I see you are thinking about seeing beautiful women."
"I am serious!"
Zhao Jin ran to the roadside and looked at the horizon where Li Mu was retreating. The sun shone on her face and made her face sparkle with tears.
"Sister Snow, Sister Snow!" A boy jumped over and ran over, still shouting happily.
Zhao Jin came back to his senses and greeted the boy, "Chen Ping, it's you."
Chen Ping immediately noticed what she was holding in her hand, "Huh? Sister Xue, what kind of book is this?"
Zhao Gen turned the book over and showed it to him. It was "The Legend of Zhenyue Divine Sword Li Mu".
Nongyu stood on the roof and looked at the two figures of Zhao Jin and Chen Ping, one big and one small. Lu Yan's face appeared in his mind.
Husband, what you are trying so hard to protect is growing stronger.
