The night was silent. The next day, the sun rose in the east.
Zhao Mu was in the mansion, continuing to swing his saber.
Although the system's requirement of 100,000 swings had been achieved, for Zhao Mu, the saber swing technique condensed by the system was a way to train his physique.
Zhao Mu would not give up easily. When he had free time, he would use it to wield his saber and train his physique.
He would use all his strength in every slash.
If an outsider saw Zhao Mu swing his saber, they would not be able to see that Zhao Mu had swung his saber before.
Because Zhao Mu's speed of swinging his saber was too fast, it was as if he had not moved at all in the eyes of outsiders from the moment he slashed out to the moment he retracted his saber.
Thump! Thump!
The door outside the courtyard was knocked. Zhao Mu was slightly surprised.
Even though he was one of the Five Great Doctors, he did not have to attend court because he did not hold any specific position.
As for Xi and Bei, they were still in the camp for the time being. They would only disperse and come to him after King Zhuang Xiang had paid his respects.
Then who was looking for him?
Yesterday in the court, he was already the tallest tree in the forest. No one was stupid.
They could all see King Zhuang Xiang's intentions.
Therefore, logically speaking, no one should come into contact with him at this time.
Could it be Meng Tian?
Zhao Mu sheathed his saber and walked to the gate.
He opened the door and saw a middle-aged man he had never seen before.
When the middle-aged man saw Zhao Mu open the door, he was stunned at first. Then, he revealed a respectful smile. He bowed respectfully and handed an invitation to Zhao Mu with both hands.
The invitation was sent by Prime Minister Lu Buwei, inviting Zhao Mu to a banquet at Marquis Wen Xin's manor tonight.
Zhao Mu looked at it and said indifferently,""Please tell the Prime Minister that Zhao Mu thanks the Prime Minister for his kindness, but Zhao Mu has never liked crowds, so I'm very sorry.”
The middle-aged man's smile froze on his face. He had not expected Zhao Mu to reject Lu Buwei's invitation. After all, this was Lu Buwei.
He was a person who was only below Great Qin.
The middle-aged man calmed himself down.
He didn't reveal any malicious words and just smiled,""Since Milord doesn't like the liveliness, then this one will go back and report.”
After saying that, he took his leave politely.
However, a hint of disdain flashed across his eyes.
As Lu Buwei's servant, he had heard a lot about the rumors.
But in reality, he did not think much of it. He did not think that Zhao Mu and Meng Tian could restrain his master.
What kind of person was his master? How could two young people compare to him?
In his opinion, Zhao Mu's actions were unappreciative.
When they returned to the manor, the servant told Marquis Wenxin about Zhao Mu's rejection.
Marquis Wenxin looked angry, but he waved his hand to dismiss the servant.
A gloomy light flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Mu's absence showed his attitude, but Lu Buwei didn't care.
Although Zhao Mu was indeed very brave, Lu Buwei felt that he was just a boorish man with no use.
Lu Buwei naturally remembered Zhao Mu's actions, but he was not in a hurry to take revenge.
This matter was neither big nor small.
Zhao Mu was now an important subject of King Zhuang Xiang. If anything happened to him, even Lu Buwei would have to pay a price.
In Lu Buwei's opinion, it was not worth it to have a conflict with King Zhuang Xiang for a guy like Zhao Mu.
But if there was a chance in the future, Lu Buwei would not mind killing Zhao Mu.
Not long after Lu Buwei's men left, many people in the court learned that Zhao Mu had rejected Lu Buwei's invitation.
These people looked at Zhao Mu as if he was a fool.
Everyone knew that Lu Buwei's power was great, and it meant something to Great Qin.
Rejecting Lu Buwei was simply courting death.
Even if she didn't like Lu Buwei, she had to at least put on an act.
However, Zhao Mu didn't even bother to put on a show. Wouldn't that make Lu Buwei look bad?
After Meng Tian received the news, she immediately went to Zhao Mu's residence.
"What exactly are you thinking?”
"Have you forgotten the reason why His Majesty summoned us?" Zhao Mu asked.”
Meng Tian frowned." I haven't forgotten. I'm assisting the Crown Prince to suppress Lu Buwei in the future."”
Zhao Mu said lightly," That's all. Our goal is to suppress Lu Buwei. So, from the very beginning, we have to make it clear that we will never have any contact with Lu Buwei. This attitude must be guaranteed. Otherwise, why would His Majesty believe that you and I can assist the Crown Prince in the future?”
Meng Tian's tightly knitted brows began to relax. She had to admit that Zhao Mu's words made sense. If Zhao Mu went to Lu Buwei's residence today, then to His Majesty, it would be equivalent to trusting the wrong person.
Because it was impossible for him to know what Zhao Mu and Lu Buwei had discussed in the Wen Xin manor.
In order to be safe, he could only abandon Zhao Mu and change to someone else.
If Zhao Mu rejected Lu Buwei, King Zhuang Xiang would trust him even more.
Meng Tian had thought that Zhao Mu was a hothead. She did not expect him to be so thoughtful.
"By the way, when will you return to Mount Shu?”Meng Tian was relieved and asked another question.
Zhao Mu said," By the time Joy and Sorrow left the military camp, I had already bought some things. Back then, five people left the village with me. Now that more than two years have passed, only Joy, Sorrow, and I are left.”
"Are you going to get married on this trip?”Meng Tian recalled what Zhao Mu had mentioned in the military camp about his purpose in joining the army.
Zhao Mu nodded.
"Now that I've obtained fertile land, gold, silver, and jewelry, it's enough to buy a family business, so I plan to go back and marry Xiaotong.”
Meng Tian said," I have nothing to do in Xianyang. I can go back with you. You are my good brother. How can I miss your wedding?"”
Meng Tian's words shocked Zhao Mu. Xianyang was not close to Shu.
But since Meng Tian wanted to go, Zhao Mu would not stop her.
The two of them agreed on a time. Meng Tian left Zhao Mu's residence and returned to her own home. She began to prepare things and followed Zhao Mu to Shu.
