Chapter 151 Is This Your Little Brother?
"Are you listening to me?" Azhu was dissatisfied. This guy was really weird. When he heard that Quji was fine and was valued by the general, shouldn't he be happy for him?
Gao Sheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your answer."
Seeing him leave just like that, Ah Zhu curled his lips. Sure enough, those who hang out with that Qin man are not good people.
Seeing him coming back alone, Guo Kai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you find the person?"
"I found him, but I arrived a little too late. He had already been taken away by Wu Anjun."
Hearing about Li Mu, Guo Kai became interested.
After Gao Sheng's exaggerated description, Guo Kai became more and more convinced that Li Mu had deliberately let the Qin army escape.
He had 300,000 men in Zhao and 300,000 men in Qin. Even the Qin army's food and grass were cut off and its main general had fled. He still failed to defeat the entire Qin army. Even if he was not treasonous, he was still unable to resist the enemy.
"Have you heard an interesting story recently?" Guo Kai asked.
Gao Sheng has been busy sending gifts to the ministers of Zhao State lately and has no time to learn about other things. "I hope the Prime Minister can give me some advice!"
Guo Kai laughed and said, "I heard that our Wu'an Jun had a close relationship with Ying Yiren over twenty years ago, even sleeping next to him and becoming his close friend. When Ying Yiren fled back to Qin, perhaps our great general had a hand in it. If it weren't for a spy, how could Ying Yiren have known the late king's plan and left Zhao so early?"
Gao Sheng echoed the question, "Could the spy the Prime Minister is referring to be Wu'an Jun?"
"Lü Buwei was just a mere merchant. Even if he had all-powerful abilities, he couldn't have known the late king's actions in advance. Our Wu'an Jun was the late king's personal guard. If it wasn't him who leaked the secret, who else could it be?"
Tracing back to cause and effect, things that were originally just coincidences become evidence.
"But Wu'an Jun helped Zhao resist the invasion of Qin after all. How could he collude with the Qin people?" Gao Sheng tempted him to continue guessing.
Guo Kai said angrily, "How can that be impossible? If the Qin army is not defeated, the Zhao army will always be under his control. By then, I'm afraid even the King of Zhao will have to obey his orders."
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. Fortunately, he discovered it early, otherwise Li Mu might become the next Lian Po. He might even be more insidious than Lian Po, younger and stronger. By then, he would have no place in the court.
"So, Your Majesty is truly far-sighted. Now that you have taken away the military power from him, with only the empty title of Marquis of Wu'an, as long as Qin does not invade again, even if he becomes more powerful, he will not be able to do anything."
Guo Kai looked pleased when he heard this, but then his expression turned gloomy again.
As long as Li Mu is still there, he will have the opportunity to take control of the army again sooner or later, and then he will be at the mercy of others.
"Prime Minister, General Zhao is calling you." Gao Sheng reminded with a smile.
Guo Kai raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Cong who was walking towards him. He was also tall and strong, and looked no worse than Li Mu. Zhao Cong was even a member of the Zhao royal family, and his status was much higher than that of Li Mu.
His mind suddenly changed.
On the other side, Qu Ji didn't know that he had missed the opportunity to meet Eunuch Gao. After returning to Handan with Li Mu, he tried his best to find out where Gao Sheng was now.
Unfortunately, Li Mu's residence was heavily guarded, and he had no way of finding out what was happening outside, let alone passing on information.
"Keep going!" Li Mu raised his gun and fought with Qu Ji on the training ground.
On the battlefield, they didn't win that fight, but now they can compete every day.
Qu Ji dodged the incoming gunshots one after another, rolled twice on the ground, slapped the ground with his right palm to gain leverage, and then kicked back towards Li Mu's waist.
Li Mu blocked with his spear and leaned sideways to release the force, but Qu Ji had already taken this opportunity to stand up from the ground and rushed towards him with his spear carrying a strong wind.
The spears collided with each other, sending out sparks.
The two men collided and then quickly separated. Li Mu suddenly launched a counterattack, and Qu Ji could only dodge by lying on his back. The long spear brushed past his neck, and before he could counterattack again, Li Mu had already stabbed him again, with the tip of the spear pointing directly at his throat.
"I lost." Qu Ji fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
Li Mu retracted his spear, frowned, and said seriously, "Stand up! There's no reason to sit down and admit defeat."
He then said, "You haven't been serious about the battles, and you haven't made any progress these days."
Qu Ji felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't expect that General Li would notice his absent-mindedness. After spending so many days together, Qu Ji had nothing but admiration for him.
If he were a Qin citizen, the king would certainly use him instead of trapping him in this small Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
"What are you thinking about?"
Qu Ji got up from the ground and bowed to Li Mu, "Thank you for your guidance, General."
Li Mu's expression was indifferent. "Oh, then run ten more laps around the training ground."
ah--
I don’t understand how to get rid of the disease!
He could only accept his fate and run laps around the training ground.
A smile appeared in Li Mu's eyes, and he sat aside to wipe the tip of his gun.
The steward came running over in a panic, "General, General, this is bad! The king has sent people to arrest you!"
Li Mu paused, his eyes darkening. He had a premonition that King Zhao would attack him, but he didn't expect that this day would come so early.
Qu Ji stopped and watched blankly as Li Mu was taken away.
He looked at Li Mu, and he did not see fear in those eyes, but only a final reminder.
The Marquis of Wu'an's mansion was in chaos.
It seemed that no one noticed Qu Ji's departure.
The moment he walked out of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, he felt no joy in his heart, only full of worry.
"King Zhao, will you kill him?" Qu Ji asked.
The guard who was running away in panic bumped into him and just happened to hear his question, "Nonsense, the king said that the general was planning a rebellion. Regardless of whether this crime is true or not, the general can't escape."
Qu Ji didn't understand why King Zhao was unwilling to trust General Li, who was clearly devoted to the State of Zhao. He even took away his military power and wanted to kill him.
People were running away all around.
Qu Ji felt that he should go back too.
It's easy to get news about promotion.
Guo Kai is now the favorite of King Zhao, and Gao Sheng is Guo Kai's confidant, and he is inseparable from Guo Kai all day long.
When Qu Ji arrived at the gate of Prime Minister Guo's mansion, he happened to meet Guo Kai and Gao Sheng returning together. Both of them were smiling, as if they had returned from a great victory.
When Gaosheng saw Quji, the smile on his face suddenly stopped.
Guo Kai noticed his gaze and followed his gaze, then saw a soldier wearing thin armor with the pattern of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion on his body.
Guo Kai immediately thought of the person's identity and asked with a smile, "Is this your younger brother?"
Gao Sheng actually didn't want to admit it. He had made up this excuse just to make it easier to bring Qu Ji out. Now he just wanted to draw a clear line with him.
