Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Li Mu was stripped of his armor and weapons and temporarily detained.

Seeing himself in such a situation, Li Mu felt desolate.

Your Majesty, how foolish you are! I, Li Mu, have always been loyal to Zhao, yet I have ended up like this.

Yao Jia has been paying attention to Li Mu's situation.

Upon learning that Li Mu had been captured, he began to look for an opportunity.

Two days later, Yao Jia received news that Li Mu would be taken to Handan the day after tomorrow.

Yao Jia knew he could start taking action.

"Good General, there's a man outside claiming to be an old friend of General Li Mu, and he wants to see General Li Mu."

Tian Wei was puzzled, "An old friend of the general?"

"Go tell him that the general is in trouble and cannot meet him. Tell him to leave immediately."

"Wait, let me go take a look."

Lian Jue walked in and spoke.

"What are you doing to him, General?"

"I'll go tell that person about the general's current situation. After all, he's an old friend of the general, and he came to the northern border specifically to see the general. We can't deal with him so hastily."

After saying that, Yin Jue turned around and walked out of the military camp, where a carriage was parked.

Jin Jue approached and asked, "Is this person an old friend of General Li Mu?"

"My master is this, who are you?"

Yao Jia sat in the carriage and did not come out, so the servant driving the carriage asked.

"I am the deputy general under General Li Mu, Silver Carp Jue."

"So it's General Jin Jue. I apologize for my rudeness."

Yao Jia came out of the carriage only after hearing the visitor introduce himself.

"Who are you?"

Seeing that the visitor had an extraordinary demeanor, Lian Jue felt puzzled.

"General Jin Jue, I am Yao Jia, an old friend of General Li Mu."

Jin Chuan Jue was not familiar with this name, "Why haven't I heard the general mention you before?"

"Hahaha," Yao Jia laughed and said politely, "General Li Mu and I knew each other in our early years. It's normal that you haven't heard of him."

"I came to the northern border this time and received news that General Li Mu had passed away. I came to inquire about this. I wonder if the general would be willing to tell me."

Yao Jia said this and walked outside with Lian Jue.

Silver Carp Jue followed consciously.

"Since you are a good friend of the general, I will not hide anything from you. The king has convicted the general of colluding with the Xiongnu and demands his head beheaded."

"How could the King of Zhao be so foolish! General Li Mu's loyalty to Zhao is evident. He has fought against the Xiongnu for years, protecting the peace of Zhao's northern border. How could he collude with the Xiongnu?"

Seeing that Yao Jia trusted Li Mu so much, Lian Jue believed even more that Yao Jia was the general's friend.

He said angrily, "Of course not. General, you have killed countless Xiongnu people over the years and have a deep hatred for them. How could you possibly be colluding with the Xiongnu? This charge is so unjust."

"General Jin Jue, how is General Li Mu now?"

Yao Jia asked with concern.

"The general has been detained temporarily and is said to be taken back to Handan in two days."

"I am afraid that the general will go to Handan."

After hearing this, Yao Jia looked even more anxious.

"General Jin Jue, are you willing to save General Li Mu from danger?"

After hearing this, Jin Jue was stunned for a moment, "I am here today because of the general's appreciation. If I can save the general, I will obey your orders."

Yao Jia quickly helped Lian Jue up with both hands and said sincerely and movedly, "General Lian Jue is so righteous. So, do you have a way to rescue General Li Mu? I can take the generals to Qin. The King of Qin loves talents and is eager to seek them. With the talents of Generals Li Mu and Lian Jue, they will definitely be given important positions. Then, why would you worry about the punishment from King Zhao?"

"Wait until the two generals display their talents in Qin, and then they will be granted titles of nobility and appointed as generals, and the King of Zhao will regret it."

Silver Carp Jue was dumbfounded.

Weren't we just talking about rescuing General Li Mu? Why are we going to Qin?

After a while, Yin Jue looked at Yao Jia and asked, "Who are you, sir?"

Yao Jia looked at Yin Jue and formally introduced himself: "I am Yao Jia, a senior minister of the State of Qin."

"You are not an old friend of the General."

"General Li Jue, please be patient." Seeing Li Jue about to draw his sword, Yao Jia smiled and said, "Although I am a Qin citizen, I have long admired General Li Mu. I was passing through the northern border this time because I wanted to pay him a visit. I didn't expect to hear the news of the general's death."

"This is really beyond Jia's expectations."

As he said this, Yao Jia sighed.

"But this may be an opportunity for General Li Mu and General Yin Jue. My king has always valued talent. Look at the harmonious relationship between the king and his ministers in Qin, and you will know that my king is clear about rewards and punishments and values ​​his ministers."

"If the two generals are willing to surrender to Qin and serve my king, my king will surely cherish them."

"Isn't it more pleasant than swearing allegiance to King Zhao?"

After saying that, Yao Jia was not in a hurry. Seeing that Yin Chu Jue went from being nervous to being thoughtful, Yao Jia felt satisfied.

"Does the King of Qin really trust us with important positions?"

Silver Carp Jue was suspicious.

Yao Jia felt relieved. "Of course. Anyone with talent can show their talents in Qin."

"Do you know me, Zhang Yuanqing, the Marquis of Guannei, Qin?"

Lian Jue nodded.

He had heard of this man. In the past few months, this man had been worshipped as a saint.

It is said that after just a few months in Qin, he brought about tremendous changes to the country and the King of Qin loved him very much.

The nineteen-year-old Guannei Hou shocked the world.

At that time, General Li Mu also talked about this person, and he was full of admiration. He wished that this person could belong to his State of Zhao.

"Guan Nei Hou was originally from Chu. Since arriving in Qin, he has been recognized for his exceptional talent and ingenuity. The Qin monarch and his ministers all revere him as a treasure."

"General Li Mu has won great military achievements and commanded troops with extraordinary skill. How can our king abandon him?"

"General, rest assured."

After hearing this, Xianluo Jue remained silent for a long time.

"I need to go back and discuss this with the general's other deputy, Tian Wei. Don't worry, Tian Wei, like me, is loyal to the general and will not betray him."

"But, let's talk about the good news from General Jia Deng and Silver Carp Jue."

"If we rescue the general, where should we go to find you?"

Yao Jia was smiling from ear to ear.

It’s done. It’s done.

Our Qin State has gained a brave general.

However, Yao Jia's face did not show any sign of anger. "Well, I will wait for you for two days. The day after tomorrow at 11:00, I will wait for you at the city gate. If I don't see you, I will leave Zhao State."

General Li Mu is very famous in the Northern Border Army. If they want to escape, there are plenty of people to help them. Yao Jia doesn't believe that they can't escape. If they don't come after two days, it means that Lian Jue has betrayed him, and they naturally can't stay in the Northern Border anymore.

Lian Jue nodded and said goodbye to Yao Jia.

Yao Jia also quickly left in a carriage.

During these two days, Yao Yao had people keep an eye on Li Mu's situation, and if anything went wrong, they would leave quickly.

However, two days passed peacefully.

In the military camp at this time.

"We're here to deliver food to Li Mu. Could you please allow us to see General Li Mu one last time?"

As he spoke, Tian Wei took out a bag of heavy knife coins from his sleeve and handed it over.

The two guards in charge of guarding Li Mu accepted it with a smile, and then let the two men in. Of course, they also went in to watch.

"General."

Li Mu was tied up with ropes and fell on the bed. When Lian Jue saw him, he hurried over and helped Li Mu up.

"General, we brought some food with us. Please eat some first."

Tian Wei glanced at the two men and walked up to Li Mu with rice porridge.

"Thank you very much. You can go back soon and don't come to see me again."

Tian Wei and the other man didn't respond. Tian Wei brought the porridge and fed Li Mu. Then, he and Yin Jue turned and walked over to the two men. "Thank you for letting us meet the general today."

As they spoke, the two of them bowed and expressed their gratitude.

They looked at each other while bending over, and then stretched out their arms at the same time, pulled the two men to the ground, quickly pressed on the man's back, twisted his neck, and both of them died.
