"You will never see the king again, but I will let you die knowing why."
"Do you think you can hide your embezzlement and the transportation of grain out of the city? His Majesty has long known about your collusion with the Qin army, but he has simply kept quiet about it!"
Upon hearing Guo Kai's words, Li Mu went completely insane.
"Guo Kai, you framed me!"
They were the ones who discovered that the Qin army was behind the sabotage, so how come they've now accused him of embezzling grain and supplies?

"Oh? That's a good thing. Why is Brother Lu looking so downcast?"
Lu Li gave a wry smile and replied, "I just feel sorry for him."
