Since Zhao Kuo left Zhao State, the two brothers have not met for more than ten years, and Zhao Kuo himself probably did not expect that the first time he returned after leaving Zhao State was because of Li Mu. Previously, Zhao Kuo learned from Di that Li Mu was killed, which made him very confused. He wanted to save his friend. Therefore, he came to Lu Buwei's mansion, hoping that Lu Buwei could change his strategy against Li Mu, not kill him, but force him away.

Unfortunately, Lu Buwei was very determined in this matter, and he would never give in. Li Mu was the biggest threat to Qin and he had to be eliminated. Then, Lu Buwei questioned Zhao Kuo with the matter of Lian Po, why did Lian Po die, but Li Mu couldn't die? Zhao Kuo pondered for a long time, Li Mu could not die. Li Mu was different from Lian Po. The Zhao State defended by Lian Po was the Zhao State of the nobles. He did not make any changes and would not compromise.

Li Mu was different. Li Mu was concerned about the people of Zhao. He wanted to protect the people of Zhao, not King Zhao. Besides, Lian Po died in battle on the battlefield. For an old general like him, this was probably the most appropriate way to die. He was so lucky than those of Le Yi. Li Mu, he shouldn't be this way of death. He shouldn't die at the hands of those villains and under the conspiracy.

Zhao Kuo was about to drive to Yunzhong. When he was about to arrive at Yunzhong, Zhao Kuo felt that someone seemed to be following him. Zhao Kuo hid the carriage, hid on the side of the road, waiting for the people behind him. Sure enough, he successfully grabbed Zhao Kang. When Zhao Kuo tripped the horse with a rope, then rode on the fallen knight and pointed the short sword at his neck, Zhao Kang was so scared that he couldn't speak.

When did he see Zhao Kuo so violent that he almost killed him?

Afterwards, Zhao Kang drove for his father, and Zhao Kuo scolded him all the way. Zhao Kang learned something from his mother. Shortly after Zhao Kuo left, he quietly followed his father and wanted to go to Yunzhong together. Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuo was so alert that he almost died at his father's hands.

"What are you doing after you follow?"

"Do you think I'm going to play?"

"Do you know how dangerous?"

"When you arrive at the clouds, you will stay in the city and follow me out. I will break your legs!"

No matter how tall and brave Zhao Kang is, in Zhao Kuo's eyes, he is just a child, a child who knows nothing. This is probably the legendary parental filter. Zhao Kang lowered his head. No matter what Zhao Kuo said, he didn't reply. Until at night, when the father and son were sitting in front of the bonfire to keep warm, Zhao Kang said, "Father... I've grown up, I know what I'm doing..."

"For the years, you have been protecting me, protecting your mother, protecting your politics and good deeds... Now, it's my turn to protect you... You are alone in Zhao's land and take away their command. This is not easy. I will protect you. With me, no one can hurt you!" Zhao Kang said seriously. When he looked at his father, Zhao Kuo had already closed his eyes and slept.

Zhao Kang smiled helplessly and then closed his eyes.

However, he didn't notice the smile on Zhao Kuo's face.

From the next day, Zhao Kuo did not let Zhao Kuo go back. However, he was still scolding Zhao Kang, saying that he was arrogant and naughty, but Zhao Kang was of course used to it. Since childhood, his father said so. When the father and son came to Yunzhong City, Yang Duanhe, who was guarding here, naturally came to pay tribute to the teacher. Because Yunzhong area was next to Linhu, the road here was a bit dangerous, and Hu thieves often came out to rob.

Zhao Kuo encountered it twice on the way, but Zhao Kang could chase a dozen thieves alone and run around the ground. These two times did not bring too much danger to Zhao Kuo. However, the environment and wind and sand here made Zhao Kuo feel a little uncomfortable. Yang Duanhe welcomed the teacher to his mansion, and then asked about the purpose of the teacher coming here. Zhao Kuo frowned and said calmly: "I came here to see the situation of the herdsmen here."

Zhao Kuo is not good at lying. Yang Duanhe saw through Zhao Kuo and didn't tell the truth at first sight, but he dared not question or force him to ask... It was not until the night when Zhao Kuo went to rest that Zhao Kang had secretly found Yang Duanhe. Speaking of which, Yang Duanhe still liked Zhao Kang very much. Many generals of the Qin State liked Zhao Kang very much because Zhao Kang was straight and seemed rude, but he would not stumbling behind his back. He was a friend that could be made.

Zhao Kang said, "I heard that the teacher's kindness can be repayed with his life... My father heard that Li Mu was about to be killed, so he wanted to save him, but he didn't want to implicate others, and actually wanted to break into Zhao alone. I want to ask about Li Mu's situation." Yang Duanhe was a little surprised. He was silent for a moment before saying, "I shouldn't have told you these things... But I can't watch the teacher take risks."

Yang Duanhe can always get information from Zhao State here. The spies in the army will send the information they have to him and let him react in time because he wants to cooperate with Guo Kai. Therefore, he knew that Yan Ju had arrived at the military camp and that they were about to take action. After learning about this information, Zhao Kang said: "Okay, then go to the military camp to capture Li Mu before they can take action!"

"I can lend you some army..."

Zhao Kang thought for a while before he smiled and said, "I was just to know Li Mu's situation from you. If you sent troops to Zhao State privately, you would be executed. I cannot let you do such a move!" However, when Zhao Kang told Zhao Kuo the news he had, and after the two left Yunzhong City, Yang Duanhe followed them with his own army.

Therefore, when Zhao Kuo met Li Mu who was being chased and launched an attack, the Qin soldiers soon appeared behind them and scared away the Zhao knights. But the problem is that Yang Duanhe only had more than a thousand soldiers. If the Zhao people reacted, there would be a problem. In addition, this Zhao army was Guo Kai's confidant, and Guo Kai had long been in the forefront, so it was unreasonable for the two sides to fight.

Yang Duanhe was really helpless. His order was originally to cooperate with Guo Kai to kill Li Mu, but now he helped the teacher save Li Mu.

Li Mu sat in the carriage and still did not recover. Zhao Kuo sat beside him, while Zhao Kang was rushing the car. Li Mu was silent for a long time before saying, "Brother...why are you here to save me?"

"I just think it's a pity to die in Zhao's Great Wall so much under conspiracy."

"Brother, you are older." Li Mu raised his head, looked at Zhao Kuo's gray hair, and suddenly said.

"Yes, I'm old... I'm already a great father... Zheng, do you still remember? He is going to be a father..." Zhao Kuo said, looking at Li Mu again. Li Mu's changes were also very big. The young man who was a little rebellious, arrogant, and stubborn back then also became mature at this moment. After years of hardship, Li Mu became the real Great Wall of Zhao. His face was particularly firm and serious. He could not tell at all the appearance of the young boy back then.

"Tell me, how are the friends of Zhao?" Zhao Kuo suddenly asked. Li Mu thought for a moment before saying, "Duke Ping has left. It has been almost ten years since he left. He misses you very much and Zheng very much. Before leaving, he was very sad. He said he could never see you and your family again... Duke Xu also left. There was a problem with the newly built canal of Leren. He went to save people... He never came back. Duke Xu's wife cried every day and is still in Handan..."

Zhao Kuo didn't say anything anymore. He looked at the distance sadly without saying a word.

"Father...Who is Mr. Ping?"

Zhao Kang asked inappropriately, but Zhao Kuo did not answer him.

Li Mu talked about the horse suit, the many situations in Handan, and the situation in Zhao State. Li Mu's face was also the same sadness. He remembered the tortured people of Zhao State today, and the soldiers of Zhao State who wanted to kill him with weapons, as well as the noble king and the hypocritical Guo Kai... Li Mu was really confused. In just a short time, he had experienced too many things.

The two of them fell silent at the same time, without saying a word.

It was not until he arrived at the border of Yunzhong County that Li Mu said: "Please take good care of Sima Shang and Tian Yue."

Zhao Kuo was stunned. He shook his head and asked, "Where are you going? Are you going to die when you go back? Or are you planning to hide your identity?"

"I have no idea..."

"What do you know then?"

"Why did we fight back Bai Qi?"

"For Zhao State."

"No, it's for the Zhao people. Because Bai Qi massacred the Zhao people, the people were living in poverty, so we resisted his attack. Now what are you protecting? Are you protecting the status of King Zhao? Are you surrounding the wealth of those people in Guokai? Or are you protecting the people on this land? They can't raise their heads because of heavy taxes, and a large number of people everywhere are starving to death and being killed... But you told me that you don't know anything?" Zhao Kuo was a little angry.

Zhao Kang lowered his head and did not dare to speak again. Li Mu's expression was even more confused. Zhao Kuo then sneered and said, "If you choose to escape, then I will regret saving you when I came. I thought you were still the passionate young man Bai Ren who wanted to protect his family and the people of Zhao... Now it seems that you are just a dog raised by King Zhao and Guo Kai!"

"Help them bite people and ensure their status..."

Li Mu clenched his fists tightly and his whole body trembled.

The quarrels here made the soldiers around him unable to help but lower their heads. Zhao Kuo glared at Li Mu in front of him, his eyes full of disappointment. He shook his head and said, "Then get off the car. After getting off the car, you have two choices. Either return to Handan and continue to help the King of Zhao to ensure that he can live the same life as before, or you might as well hide your identity and watch the people of Zhao continue to suffer like a coward."

"I know, you are provoking the generals. You have used it to Tian Gong. Do you want me to betray Zhao and go to Qin?"

"betray?"

"No, it's saving."

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said seriously: "The State of Zhao must perish... If this continues, the heavy taxes can kill all the people of Zhao... The more delayed it, the more people will die. Over the years, I have never mentioned the destruction of Zhao, because the State of Zhao has so many beautiful memories, but now, when I hear these from you, I know what to do... I want to save the people of Zhao."

"If you think this is a betrayal of Zhao State, then get out of the carriage and go back to organize an army to resist my army with the supplies stolen from the people. I promise that I will kill you with my own hands."

Li Mu took a deep breath, he looked into the distance, but he didn't move.

The carriage continued to drive forward. When the carriage left Yanmen and came to Yunzhong, Zhao Kuo saw Li Mu trembling all over. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. Zhao Kang was a little surprised. Didn't his father ask Li Mu to go back? Why was he still sitting in the carriage? When they arrived at Yunzhongcheng, the officials here looked at Wu Anjun of Zhao in a surprised manner and whispered.

They never expected that the Marquis of Wucheng would take thousands of people out and arrest Wu'anjun from Zhao.

Zhao Kuo looked at Yang Duanhe not far away and waved his hand to let him come over. Yang Duanhe stood in front of Zhao Kuo with some anxiety. Zhao Kuo then said, "You have completed this order well..." Yang Duanhe was stunned, and then reacted. He bowed deeply to the teacher and said, "Teacher...you don't have to..."

"Okay, there is no need to say more, I will write a letter to Wen Xinhou myself."

Zhao Kuo said that, then drove Yang Duanhe away. Then, he jumped out of the carriage, looked at Li Mu on the carriage, and reached out. Li Mu held his arm and limped out of the carriage. The injuries he had suffered before were still very serious. Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Kang and said, "Take your Zhongfu to rest."

"Father Zhong??What..." Zhao Kang saw his father's serious face and hurriedly swallowed the next sentence. He reluctantly stepped forward to support Li Mu and walked to the courtyard opposite. Li Mu looked at the young man who was supporting him and asked while walking: "You seem to dislike me very much? Why is this? I have no grudges and grudges with you."

"Ha, I just don't like you. Although you are my Zhongfu, I still don't like you. What are your abilities that are worthy of my liking?"

"When I recover, I will let you see what I have."

The two gradually left. At this moment, Sima Shang slowly opened his eyes. He saw a doctor helping him with the wound, but he was not dead? He looked around again... He woke up suddenly.

"Ah?! Where is this?! Why are there so many Qin people?!"
