"General Li, didn't you hear what the king said? The king has already chosen a candidate, yet you are still so aggressive. Are you planning a rebellion?!"
Le Cheng did not argue too much with these warriors whose minds were full of killing. Although he, Le Cheng, was also a military general, his political acumen was far superior to theirs.
Li Mu acted as if he hadn't heard anything and shouted at Le Cheng, "I dare to return the military power to the king. Do you dare? If not, why accuse me of treason? Could it be that the Prime Minister can no longer hide his thoughts and has spoken out?"
Le Cheng was speechless for a moment. He didn't say anything. He bowed, apologized, and walked out with a flick of his sleeves.
Li Mu did not stop him and just watched Le Cheng walk out.
King Zhao Daoxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Mu, "My dear minister, please let Qu Zheng go. The Prime Minister must not leave Handan after all."
Li Mu cupped his hands and said, "This alliance is a sign that Qin is announcing to the world its ambition to achieve hegemony. If the people from Zhao State are not of sufficient status, it could very well become an excuse for Qin to send troops to Zhao State."
King Zhao Daoxiang was a little panicked and asked tremblingly, "How could it be? How could it be? Qin withdrew its troops. They had agreed at the time that they would not invade again after taking the four cities!"
"I'm not talking about the present, but the future." Li Mu looked at King Zhao Daoxiang and sighed secretly. "Since the Crown Prince of Qin dares to call out the title of Son of Heaven, it proves that Qin has not completely destroyed the world. Although my country of Zhao is not afraid of Qin, it is impossible for us to become a barrier for other countries to block the Qin army."
King Zhao Daoxiang looked at Li Mu and saw that he was extremely serious. He knew that what he said was mostly true.
After a long while, King Zhao Daoxiang finally sighed and ordered, "Please bring back the Prime Minister. I have something to discuss with him!"
