Sometimes fate is like this. Often when you are at your happiest time, you will pour a basin of cold water. When Li Mu led his four confidants to the entrance of the valley, he found that someone he could never imagine was waiting at the entrance of the valley.

I saw a young man in white robe kneeling calmly behind a flat bluestone, and was tasting some seasonal wild fruits with relish. A beautiful woman stood quietly on the side, with a fully armed warrior guarding each side.

It was Ziying and his party. The maid on the side was Xia Ke who was ordered by Ziying's mother to protect him, while the generals on both sides were Sima Shang and Peng Yue, the commanders of the Shenzhou Guard.

After Xu Cheng arrived in Handan, he sent people to convey the progress of the matter back. After Ziying received the news that Zhao Cong had set off, he estimated the time and rushed to the valley entrance yesterday evening to wait for Li Mu.

"General Li worked hard all the way. Ying has prepared some wild fruits in the mountains here, why not taste them?" Ziying said attentively.

"Hisser Rao Yangjun, why are you here? Could it be that you are waiting for someone Li?" Li Mu asked.

Li Mu didn't have much contact with Ziying, even if he met Ziying when he was young, he only met twice. Although he was not sure why Ziying appeared here, Li Mu believed that this was definitely not a coincidence.

"Can you guess the reason with General Li's intelligence?" Ziying replied calmly, "I can know the big and small events that happened in Handan, and I also know the content of the King of Zhao's order.

It is even easier to figure out the time for Zhao Cong to set off. With the horse's feet, Zhao Cong should have arrived at the Bairen yesterday. If the general wants to escape, it will only be one or two days, so Ziying will come here early to wait for the general."

"How did the young master know that Li Mu would come west instead of other directions?" Li Mu continued to ask.

"The surrounding area of ​​Bairen City is Taihang in the west, Qin army in the north, and Qin army in the east is the hinterland of Zhao and Handan in the south. Although there are Qin army stationed in the north, the Qin army does not leave, and Yue is the county in the northern part of Zhao State where the general was the former garrison of Zhao State.

According to common sense, the general should go north, and he should go east even if he is not good. Handan has become an isolated city, and he will be discovered when he goes, and the western Taihang is even more deserted."

"Why is the young master here?"

"Aren't the general here too?" Ziying asked, "Since General Li will go north or east, then those two directions will definitely not be able to go. In the south, he fell into the trap again, so Ziying thought that the general would definitely come west, so he went to this necessary road to enter the mountain early to wait for the general."

"The sky destroyed Zhao State!" Li Mu said sadly, "There are generals who have never lived in the Qin State and the genius of the prince. Zhao State is in danger."

"The general was wrong. It was not because the heavens destroyed Zhao State, but because of his own destruction. Ziying was able to understand Zhao State's state affairs. Doesn't the general understand?"

After hearing Ziying's words, Li Mu immediately understood that someone in Handan City must have informed the Qin army, and even if such a confidential matter could be found, the identity of this traitor must be at the top of the court.

Thinking of this, Li Mu suddenly seemed extremely sad and angry, "These shameless and intimate traitors!"

Thinking of himself leading the soldiers to fight bloody battles on the front line, but the high-ranking officials and nobles in the rear were so versatile, Li Mu was so angry that his eyes were a little slight and wished he could peel these people up and cramp them.

Suddenly, Li Mu suddenly raised his head and stared at Ziying and said, "Is it true that the matter in Handan is..."

"That's right, I arranged for someone to disagree with you, General. I just didn't expect that there were so many people in the Zhao court who were willing to help me, and Zhao Qian actually believed it." Ziying replied.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you to take revenge?" Li Mu said fiercely. The four Zhao generals behind Li Mu also held their weapons tightly at this time. "Just Sima Shang and the others can't protect you."

At this moment, Ziying was not afraid at all and said calmly: "I believe in General Li's character. Since I dare to come and meet with a few people, I believe that the general will not take advantage of others' danger.

What's more, don't the general want to meet your family anymore?"

Hearing this, Li Mu immediately put down all his defenses and said tremblingly. "My family, are they still alive?"

"Before the execution, I ordered someone to rescue him in advance. Now I am secretly resettled in a very safe place in Handan City. When the day the city of Handan is broken, the general can reunite with his family." Ziying replied. "By the way, I forgot to congratulate the general. The son was happy to have Lin'er a few days ago, and General Li has become his grandfather."

After listening to Ziying's words, Li Mu seemed to have returned to heaven from hell. The haze since hearing the bad news was instantly swept away. "My family is still alive, and I still have a home!"

Taking advantage of Li Mu's excitement, Ziying tempted him carefully. "Although Ziying was fueled by the incident in Handan, can't the general see clearly the actions of Zhao's court?

No matter how great the general makes, he will abandon it as if he has doubts, or even kills the whole family. Why should he die for it?

In this way, does the general of Zhao think there is still a rescue? Now our Qin ranks as well as Bashu, with sufficient troops and food. After several generations of management, the momentum of swallowing the world has been achieved. It is better for the general to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, help our Qin army to eliminate the war as soon as possible, so that everyone in the people can live a life without war.

My Qin Dynasty has always welcomed talents like generals. Li Siwei Liao and others are not Qin people, but they all hold high positions. As the general goes, Ziying will strongly recommend it to the king."

Ziying said sincerely.

After hearing this, Li Mu suddenly became silent, frowned and did not respond.

Ziying thought about it for a moment and immediately understood Li Mu's idea. It seemed that Li Mu's loyalty to the emperor was still very stubborn. He should be worried that his family was still in his hands and did not dare to refuse in person, for fear that he would be unfavorable to his family if he was angry.

Of course, Ziying was extremely eager for Li Mu, who was one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period that had been famous throughout the ages. When Ziying, in his previous life, learned about Li Mu's experience in history textbooks, he felt extremely regretful of Li Mu's fate, cherished his misfortune and respected his ethics.

Although, judging from Li Mu's performance, it is obvious that he attaches great importance to his family. If Ziying threatens his family's safety, it is impossible to make Li Mu surrender. However, Ziying is unwilling to use this method to threaten this iron-minded general.

Immediately said, "General, don't worry too much. No matter what choice the general makes, after the city of Handan is broken, the general's family, Ziying, will send someone to escort the general to reunite with him."

Li Mu was stunned after hearing this. He never expected that his family was in his hands, but Ziying did not threaten him with this condition.

"Thank you, Lord Raoyang!" Li Mu bowed and said. "The former king treated Li Mu very well. Mu failed to die on the battlefield and had no face to meet each other. It was difficult to obey his fate.

If the young master has something to ask in the future, except for the war in the seven countries, the Mu must do his best."

"Since General Li is not far away to join the Qin army, Ziying is not inconvenient to force others to do anything." After saying that, he took off his jade pendant, broke it into two pieces, and handed it to Li Mu half and said. "As the general said, if the people are in trouble in the future, I hope the general will come out to help me."

Seeing Li Mu having some doubts, Ziying continued, "Please rest assured that Ying will never bother the general in this battle to unify the six kingdoms."

After listening to Ziying's promise, Li Mu took half of Ziying's jade pendant.

Although the king and minister of Zhao did not trust Li Mu very much, Li Mu did not want to pick up the sword and point it at his motherland. Li Mu believed that he had already made it clear that he no longer wanted to participate in the war between the seven countries. The so-called service words did not involve the war between the seven countries, and I believe that Ziying would not be able to use him.

However, Ziying immediately discovered some loopholes in Li Mu's words. If history is difficult to change in the future, the war will not be limited to the seven countries.

Since you have said it yourself, no matter whether you are sincere or not, you should climb up the pole first and then say it. I believe that with Li Mu's nature, you will definitely not regret what you say in the future.
