Qin asked

Zhao State, Handan.

This is not the first time that Handan has been attacked by soldiers: more than ten days ago, the main force of the Qin army came from Jingxing, together with Yang Rui and the soldiers brought over from Hanoi, there were hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers who took over the small Handan. Surrounded.

Although the people in Handan have calmed down a lot compared to the first time they were besieged, an atmosphere called panic is still gradually fermenting in the small city, constantly stimulating the old scars and wounds of the Zhao people. increasingly sensitive nerves.

At this time, alcohol is the best medicine to help people get rid of pain.

With all the shops closed, there are more and more guests coming and going in the wine shop. Among them, there are even soldiers who sneaked out here to get drunk quietly, or some generals who have time to drink away their sorrows here. In this regard, the owner of the tavern was very clever and not afraid of death, and opened the tavern to the city wall.

Some drunken men took advantage of the courage given by the alcohol in the small tavern, and many of them named and scolded Li Mu by name. , these two groups of people have to fight to the death.

After getting the news, Li Mu rushed to the scene, and what he saw was the smoky scene. His forehead jumped, and he didn't talk to these drunkards, and asked his attendants to separate the two groups of people.

The drunk over there was still cursing: "Coward Li Mu! What kind of hero is he who escaped from the battle? What kind of general!"

The young general, who had just seen his general sober, blushed again when he heard it. In anger, he shook off the three people who were holding him down, and was about to step forward to beat him with his fists. Seeing this situation, Li Mu, Taking a step forward, with never-slack martial arts, he easily clamped the opponent's hands, twisting and turning, the little general was locked under Li Mu's body.

"Stop me!"

"General!"

The two looked at each other without backing down, but in the end the guard couldn't stand it any longer, and stepped forward to pull his Shangguan back. Except for the scolding behind him, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Li Mu looked at his once drunk subordinates frowning, and ordered out of habit: "Go back and get thirty army sticks."

"I don't," the young general was silent for a moment, and refused firmly. He looked at Li Mu stubbornly and stubbornly, "You are not a general, so you have no right to order me."

The drunk behind him was still yelling at him, and the subordinates in front defied him face to face. As a result, even Li Mu was on fire, and he said in a deep voice, "Then go back and plead guilty to Zhao Cong! Also, let him be locked up. These shabby taverns!"

However, what responded to him was a moment of silence, and the young general lowered his eyes and said softly: "General Zhao Cong is busy investigating the wooden frames of the Qin army, so he won't have time to deal with such trivial matters."

Wooden rack?

Li Mu frowned deeper, and he asked, "What wooden frame?"

The young general looked at Li Mu, regardless of any military secrets, he was about to open his mouth to answer, but a whistling sound from the sky covered his voice, and Li Mu only saw the opening and closing of the other party's mouth, and then followed ' There was a loud bang, leaving only a broken body in front of him...

"Heaven... God's punishment!"

The screams that were so frightening broke everyone's nerves. The wine shop that was still intact just now was smashed to pieces. Many people were crushed under large and small stones and cried out in pain. Instinctively, the man's knees softened, and he knelt down on the ground and begged to heaven.

No... This is not God's punishment... It should be a stone machine, but if it is a stone machine, how can such a big stone be thrown in such a short period of time...

Li Mu, who was the only one still standing on the ground, gritted his teeth and regained his senses. He pulled the soldier who was lying on the ground, and asked fiercely, "What wooden frame!"

The soldier trembled and said, "I...I don't know..."

Li Mu threw the soldiers aside, turned around and strode towards Zhao Ying, but his attendants immediately stood in front of him: "I don't know where Lord Wu An is going?"

Li Mu stopped, his eyes slowly scanned his attendants, something was wrong, why are these attendants not as scared as ordinary people?It's like knowing in advance...

He pressed his hand to the hilt of the sword, and said in a low voice, "Get out of the way."

"Mr. Wu An is going to Zhao Ying?" Even in the face of the angry Li Mu, the attendant remained unhurried. He lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly, "But the king has already ordered you to be dismissed, and the military affairs have nothing to do with you."

Li Mu glanced around, and at some point, the place was emptied, leaving only him and a group of uninvited guests who appeared from nowhere. Sword in hand.The general who hadn't touched it for a month screamed out his sword, and the lightsaber was still chilling. The attendant bowed and retreated, leaving the final battlefield to the general of Zhao State...

Qin camp.

The production of the trebuchet was very successful. The ink fountain was originally planned to be tried several times, but Archimedes' lever theorem was really powerful, coupled with the help of wood, it was unexpected that it could be successful once.

Mo Dou happily directed the soldiers to dismantle the trebuchet. Zhao Jun has been spying on it for the past few days.

But even if it is dismantled and pretended nothing happened, it is estimated that Zhao Guo will know the news sooner or later, so it is best to take advantage of the unpreparedness and attack Zhao Guo as soon as possible.

Mo Dou thought this way, and just after he left the Qin camp, he planned to tell Ying Zheng that the catapult was successfully made, but he saw Ying Zheng holding a military newspaper, looking at him with a smile, as if everything in the world was under his control, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of tears. The high-spirited spirit that belongs only to the emperor.

Taking a breath quietly, barely suppressing his boyish heart, Mo Dou walked straight to Ying Zheng's side, then sat down, calmly admiring the masculinity.

Ying Zheng asked lazily, "Have you seen enough?"

Mo Dou calmly denied: "No."

"Heh," Ying Zheng chuckled, put away the military newspaper in his hand, looked back at Mo Dou, tilted his head and asked, "Then...a kiss?"

……

Mo Dou turned his head away in embarrassment, he admitted that as a modern person, he is indeed inferior to the ancients in flirting, this is definitely not his fault, it is definitely the reason for the addition of the emperor's attributes.

Turning his attention back to his work, Mo Dou said solemnly: "My lord, the trebuchet is ready."

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Dou, then looked away and nodded, "I know."

Then there was no more, and Ying Zheng started to work quite seriously. To be honest, Mo Dou regretted it a bit...

Finally unable to bear it anymore, Mo Dou dawdled for a while, and moved his head a little closer to Ying Zheng's direction: "My lord, what were you laughing at just now?"

Ying Zheng turned his head and asked knowingly, "Huh? What are you laughing at?"

Mo Dou blinked: "When I came in just now, did Your Majesty see any good news?"

Ying Zheng opened the corner of his mouth, leaned forward slightly, and his hoarse voice exploded in Mo Dou's ear: "Guess."

Mo Dou looked at Ying Zheng, the distance between the two of them was so close now, Mo Dou could even see the new beard growing on Ying Zheng's chin - Ying Zheng's beard only grew on his lips before.

Thinking of this, Mo Dou raised his head, kissed Ying Zheng's chin, and rubbed the fur on it, and said, "I can't guess."

Ying Zheng's body froze calmly, and then calmly hugged Mo Dou into his arms, wrapped his arms around Mo Dou and showed Mo Dou the information just now, and he summed up in four words: "Li Mu is dead."

Mo Dou's heart skipped a beat. Li Mu died, which also meant that Zhao Guo could take over...

No longer paying attention to Ying Zheng's embrace, Mo Dou focused his attention on the paper in Ying Zheng's hand.

The content on the paper is much richer than Ying Zheng’s summary. It not only explained how Li Mu was killed, but also reported the follow-up treatment one by one: After the attendant took the opportunity to kill Li Mu, he first declared to King Zhao that it was Li Mu’s resistance. It was Li Mu who was taken by Zhao Cong if he didn't follow Qiluo.As for Zhao Cong, he was going to put the blame on Qin Guo.

Whenever Qin is ready to go to war, he will tell Zhao Cong about Li Mu's death.

In this way, Zhao Cong will definitely not be able to hold back, and will definitely send troops to attack the Qin army, and this is exactly what the Qin State is looking for.

Mo Dou sighed in his heart, Li Mu is a good general, what a pity...

"Your Majesty," Mo Dou put away the regret in his heart, and changed his position to Qin's position, "After winning, let's change the term."

Ying Zheng put away the information: "You say it."

"Let's say that King Zhao was dissatisfied with Li Mu's design to kill him. It's better to add Zhao Cong. In short, Li Mu's death has nothing to do with Qin."

If the news of bribing Guo Kai got out, it would be bad for the reputation of a faint king and treacherous officials, but Li Mu's death is different. If it gets out, someone will definitely reprimand Qin for Li Mu's loyalty and courage. root.

Ying Zheng smiled: "Okay."
