Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 126 God of War Li Mu
Chapter 126 God of War Li Mu
In the valley, the fragrance of flowers filled the air.

A thatched cottage stands there.

Zhao Gang woke up from the coma and struggled to sit up, but the numbness all over his body made him unable to sit up at all.

As far as the eye could see, it was a simple and elegant hut with a huge horn hanging on the wall.

"Wake up so soon?"

Zhao Gang followed the direction of the voice, and an old man with white beard and hair came in.

"Senior, did you save us?"

The old man shook his head: "You and I are of the same race, saving you is only my duty."

Speaking of which, the old man came to Zhao Gang's side, checked the wounds on his body, and was stunned.

"The wound healed in just one night, it's amazing!"

Zhao Gang smiled lightly and said, "Senior, how is my companion?"

"It's more serious than yours, but it's not life-threatening."

Zhao Gang nodded, clasped his hands together and said, "When the two of us return to the pass, I will definitely thank Senior for saving his life."

The old man seemed to be interested, looked at Zhao Gang and asked: "So, you are not ordinary people, why did you come to this grassland?"

Zhao Gang sighed lightly: "To be honest, we went out with the army, but we lost our way because of the fierce fighting and the army lost."

The old man said nothing, but said: "The wolves in the prairie are not what you think. The wolves here will become more excited when they see the light of fire."

"No wonder how we chased them away last night. These wolves just refused to disperse. I also want to thank seniors. If it weren't for seniors, we might have died of wolves long ago."

The old man waved his hand: "As I said, saving you is a matter of little effort for me, and I don't need your thanks. Leave quickly when your injuries recover. I don't welcome outsiders here, let alone Qin Jun."

Zhao Gang frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Does the old gentleman have a grudge against Qin Jun?"

Although the old man is extremely rigid and serious, he may have been alone all year round, and now that he has someone to chat with, he talks more.

"Blood feud, we cannot share the sky."

Zhao Gang fell silent.

Just when the two of them were silent, an exclamation suddenly came from the room next to them.Immediately afterwards, Wang Li stumbled and appeared at the door, holding a long sword in his hand.

"Zhenyue, it's actually Zhenyue!"

"Zhenyue?"

Zhao Gang didn't know much about the famous swords in the Mingyue World of Qin Dynasty, except for the few familiar ones.

Seeing Wang Li so excited now, it's a bit inexplicable.

Wang Li looked the old man up and down, bowed and asked regardless of his injuries, "Could it be that Your Excellency is Li Mu, the great general of the Zhao State?"

The old man didn't make a sound, but looked at Wang Li calmly.

That arrogant look in his eyes could already prove his identity.

Li Mu, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, was also the last Wu'an Lord.

Zhao's military strength has greatly increased since King Wuling of Zhao was riding and shooting in Hufu. With the decline of Qi and Chu, it basically became the only country in the world that could compete with Qin.

There are many famous generals born in Zhao State successively, the most prominent of which are Lian Po and Li Mu.

Lian Po is good at defending, and Li Mu is good at attacking.

The abilities of the two can be called the best in Zhao Guo.

When Yingzheng ascended the throne, Qin already had the potential to dominate the world. Even though Zhao's strength was greatly reduced due to the treacherous prime minister Guo Kai, with the 20 frontier army led by Li Mu, even Wang Jian was helpless.

If Dunwei hadn't come up with a plan to draw fire from under the cauldron, bribe Guo Kai, and find a way to kill Li Mu, which caused the Zhao State to destroy the last Great Wall, I'm afraid it would have taken a long time to overthrow the Zhao State.

Everyone knew that Li Mu died in the hands of Guo Kai, but they didn't expect that he would appear in a small valley above the grassland, and he was still alive and well.

"Junior Wang Li sees senior."

"Wang Li? Are you a descendant of Wang Jian?"

"My father Wang Ben."

A hint of admiration appeared on Li Mu's face and he said: "It turns out that he is Wang Jian's grandson, not bad, he still has the demeanor of a famous general, not insulting your Wang family's family style."

Wang Li touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

To be praised by Li Mu is enough to brag about for a long time.

Li Mu looked at Wang Li and then returned to Zhao Gang.

"What about you? Since you can hang out with Wang Jian's grandson, you must not be an ordinary person."

Just as Zhao Gang was about to speak, Wang Li said excitedly: "That's natural. This person was worshiped by His Majesty the Emperor as a guest minister, and even an important figure relied on by the empire. The Northern Expedition against the Xiongnu was planned by him alone, and it was defeated. The former army of the Xiongnu beheaded and killed King Yuezhi."

A trace of surprise flashed in Li Mu's eyes when he heard this.

"Are you the Zhao Gang in the rumors?"

This time, Zhao Gang was also a little surprised.

"How did the old general know my name while staying in this valley?"

Li Mu smiled lightly: "I stay in the valley, but I'm not isolated from the world. Besides, many supplies needed in the valley need to be purchased in Shangjun City. Naturally, I heard some rumors when I came and went."

With that said, Li Mu took a step back and bowed towards Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly helped him up, but Li Mu blocked him.

"My obeisance is not for you, but for my one hundred thousand soldiers of the Zhao army who surrendered to Qin. If it weren't for you, they might never be free. Now that they can return home, my heart has been in my heart for many years. The guilt can also be dissipated."

Li Mu didn't want to talk about what happened back then.

Guo Kai was in charge of the government, and under his rumors, Li Mu became the scum of Zhao State, a public enemy in the army, and only some clear-headed generals knew that Li Mu was wronged.

When Guo Kai was in pain, these people came up with a way to replace the death row prisoner, let a person who looked exactly like Li Mu die instead of him, and let the real Li Mu escape.

Although he was able to survive, the state of Zhao was destroyed, and all the subjects of the state of Zhao became slaves.All the captured troops of Zhao State became prisoners of the Qin army, and were sent to various counties as labor labor to build cities and roads.

Although Li Mu did not personally cause all this, but as a general, he left the army first, and this knot remained.

When he happened to hear that the imperial court amnesty the soldiers of the six kingdoms and promulgated the land reform system in Shangjun, he was also extremely excited.Especially when he heard that it was a young man named Zhao Gang who spoke to Ying Zheng, he was filled with emotion, feeling that his time was short and he could not thank him in person.

But he didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to meet Zhao Gang.

"The old general has won the prize. In my heart, there has never been any distinction between Zhao people and Qin people. We are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and we are all sons and daughters of China. We should fight our common enemy with the same enemy. Who is our enemy? The Xiongnu are the Baiyue people in the southern jungle. Only by conquering these alien races can our Chinese descendants reproduce and the people can live in peace."

Li Mu didn't make a sound when he heard the words, but from the expression on his face, Zhao Gang knew that his words were approved by him.

In the spirit of striking while the iron is hot, Zhao Gang continued to persuade: "The old general led his army to guard the northern border of Zhao State and resisted the Huns for decades. Since he has not passed away, why can't he use his remaining energy to provide advice and suggestions for us, the Qin Dynasty, to defeat the Huns?"

Li Mu's face suddenly sank, looked at Zhao Gang in front of him and said coldly: "Let me help Ying Zheng, go dreaming!"
