Saint Qin Batu

"It's understandable that the king doesn't know this person. Because, the only ones who know this matter are the minister and the former king."

"Oh? Then is this person capable of killing Li Mu? Xiangguo, tell me quickly!" Zhao Qian felt a sense of pride when he heard that this was a top secret, and urged him again and again.

"This person is a person in different clothes. And now he is Li Mu's personal soldier and lieutenant, Your Majesty, what do you think?" Guo Kai said with a slight smile.

Chapter 269 Loyalty and Righteousness

Zhao Guo, Fan Wu

Over the past few months, successive battles have already turned this land into scorched earth.

Outside the city of Fanwu, the originally vast ten thousand hectares of fertile land had been abandoned for an unknown amount of time.There are also many weeds growing on the road.

If it weren't for those beacon towers that can be seen everywhere, and those soldiers holding long daggers and sticking to their posts in the wind.I am afraid that this place has become a desert.

On a small hill not far outside the city, the original green mountain forest has also become a bare piece.

Those trees that have grown for an unknown number of years have been made into pieces of defensive equipment to deal with the extremely lethal siege mechanism of the Qin army.

Not only this forest, but also those forests in the distance are no longer what they were before, only some weeds remained, decorating these forests with the last green.

"When it comes to autumn, I'm afraid even these weeds will wither..." On the hill, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh with emotion as he looked at the desolate forest.

"But, no matter what, I will keep here!"

Immediately, Li Mu's face showed a firm look again.

"Any price!"

A ruthless look flashed across Li Mu's eyes.

"Uncle Li! Will Qin Jun come again?"

At this time, in Li Mu's arms, a boy about ten years old was also looking at the distant mountains and forests, and made a crisp sound.

"I will come!" Li Mu replied without any hesitation in his rough voice, and then he showed a smile, and asked back: "Are you afraid?"

"of course not!"

What responded to Li Mu was still that crisp voice, but in this voice, it also contained a trace of firmness like Li Mu.

"Da da da!"

A series of hurried hoofbeats came from behind.

"General! The king's orders are coming to Handan!"

Behind Li Mu, the coming horse snorted a few times, and even the person on the horse was panting slightly.

"It seems that the king's order is urgent this time."

The boy in Li Mu's arms stretched out his head slightly, looking at the soldier kneeling on the ground with a few traces of sweat in his bun and thought.

Unlike the boy, Li Mu did not look back.

"It's been four months. Since the start of the war, I haven't received a king's order for four months..." Li Mu murmured slightly in his heart.

Of course, he heard the eagerness of the soldiers.However, after a long time, such a hasty king's order suddenly came, which made Li Mu feel uneasy.

Li Mu's intuition as a master of military strategist told Li Mu that this time, Handan might have undergone tremendous changes.

However, what kind of great change is enough to make this king's order so urgent?

Li Mu closed his eyes slightly, although he could already guess a little bit in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it.I can only deceive myself for a while in this self-deceiving way.

"General?" The soldier's hasty voice sounded again, with a hint of tremor in it.

"understood!"

Li Mu opened his eyes again, the firm look in his eyes remained unchanged.It's just that the ruthlessness hidden deep in his eyes has increased a bit.

"Let's go!" Li Mu turned his horse's head and said softly to the soldiers who were still kneeling on the ground.

……

In Fanwu City, Zhao Min who originally lived here had already been moved to the rear by Li Mu.Now, apart from the soldiers, only the horses are left here.

I went out to some rangers on duty, and the side divisions who were stationed outside.In the huge Fanwu City, there are only more than [-] people living in it.

You know, although the original Fanwu City was not a huge city like Handan.However, it is also a big city with over 10,000 households, with [-]+ people living there.

There are only 10,000 people left in the big city of [-]+ people.It made the entire city seem a little empty and quiet.

As in the past, under the sparse and ordinary appearance, there is still a rigorous style.

On the city wall, Zhao soldiers on duty looked sternly, staring at the outside of Fanwu City, even though there was only weeds left outside the city.

In the city, the orderly auxiliary soldiers were busy carrying the newly arrived grain and arrows.

The center of Fanwu City, the original county seat, has now become Li Mu's central army camp.

"Where is the king's order?"

Li Mu walked into the middle hall with big strides.He glanced around, but the familiar figure disappeared.

"Where's Le Ren?" Li Mu frowned, and said to the messenger behind him.

"This this……"

The messenger also looked around Zhongtang nervously, but he couldn't see Le Ren, so he suddenly became nervous.If Li Mu thought that the order was passed on falsely, it would be a death penalty.

"General, I'm here..."

As the soldier's voice fell, Le Ren's figure also appeared at the entrance of the middle hall.However, at this moment, beside him, there are two more people with haughty faces.

"Who are you?" Li Mu's expression turned cold. Such a frivolous person made him suddenly uneasy, and he got closer to the guess in his heart.

"Who are we? Hmph! We, of course, are here to deliver orders for the king!"

Among the two, one took a few steps forward, took out a fiery red silk book from his pocket, and handed it to Li Mu with an arrogant expression.

Li Mu didn't speak, and he didn't even take the silk book in the man's hand, but just looked at the two of them coldly.

"You!" The man knew that Li Mu looked down on him, and Li Mu's cold eyes made him feel uncomfortable, so he couldn't help roaring.

"General!" Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, Le Ren behind him snatched the silk scroll from his hand, and handed it to Li Mu respectfully with both hands.

There are not many words on the silk script, the general meaning is nothing more than asking Li Mu and his deputy Sima Shang to hand over the military power, and the two who came here, namely Zhao Cong and Yan Ju, will be in charge.
