Lu Buwei's words stunned Donghuang for a moment before he smiled and said,""I don't know, but a mere five physicians is nothing to the prime minister.”
However, to Donghuang's surprise, Lu Buwei shook his head and said with some emotion,""This Fifth Physician is not simple. He is a trusted aide that the King has decided to leave for the Crown Prince, so this old man absolutely cannot do anything to him.”
Donghuang's face, which was hidden under the black and gold robe, was slightly stunned. He had never expected that there would be someone in the Great Qin Dynasty Hall that Lu Buwei could not suppress.
It seemed that this so-called Zhao Mu was indeed not simple.
However, a moment later, Donghuang understood what Lu Buwei meant.
Lu Buwei wanted to use him to get rid of Zhao Mu. Otherwise, after learning that the Yin-Yang School's target was the Yuyuan Clan, Lu Buwei would not agree to the Yin-Yang School's conditions if he cared about Zhao Mu.
"I understand what you mean, Prime Minister."
"Don't worry, Prime Minister. Although the Fifth Great Physician is noble, thieves are rampant in Shu. It's normal for the Fifth Great Physician to accidentally die.”
Donghuang's words satisfied Lu Buwei. Donghuang was a smart man.
" Then I'll wait here for Donghuang's good news," Lu Buwei said." When Donghuang returns, it'll be time for the Yin-Yang School and Great Qin to work together."”
Donghuang left with Concubine Yan and Yueshen.
After leaving the Prime Minister's residence, Concubine Yan asked,""Lord Donghuang, since that Zhao Mu is one of the Five Great Officials and is deeply loved by the King of Qin, why should we get involved in this muddy water? Once the King of Qin starts investigating, it will be very disadvantageous for us.”
"I observed the celestial phenomena at night," the Eastern Emperor said."The King of Qin won't live much longer. Lu Buwei's Fate was incredibly dense, and Great Qin would be under his control. As such, killing Zhao Mu and doing Lu Buwei a favor was not a big deal, and it would not endanger us.”
Lady Yan and Yueshen respected Donghuang very much. Since Donghuang had said so, they naturally did not have any other thoughts.
The people of the Yin-Yang School began to gather and set off for Shu.
At the same time, Zhao Mu, Meng Tian, Xi, and Bei, who had set off from Xianyang, were carefully walking on the boardwalk.
Although Meng Tian's martial arts skills were higher than Joy and Sorrow's, his performance was not as good as Joy and Sorrow's when he walked on the plank road for the first time.
The endless abyss almost made Meng Tian faint.
Zhao Mu smiled and said," Many people look like you when they walk for the first time. Don't worry, relax. There's still about two hours before we can finish walking."”
"There's still two hours!"
Meng Tian rolled her eyes. She really couldn't imagine how General Sima Cuo managed to merge Ba and Shu into the Great Qin Empire through this small plank road.
In Meng Tian's view, relying on these lofty mountains, Ba Shu could completely block the Qin Country's attack, but in the end, it was taken down by Sima Cuo.
From this, it could be seen that General Sima Cuo's ability to lead troops was astonishing.
Two hours later, the group finally crossed the plank road. The following path was much easier to walk on.
Three days later, the towering Mount Shu was already in sight.
Zhao Mu looked at Mount Shu and unconsciously smiled.
That kind of smile surprised Meng Tian. She had never seen such a smile on Zhao Mu's face.
At the foot of Mount Shu, the village was still the same. It had not changed much in more than two years. The Li Zheng Grandpa was already very old, but he had not passed away.
Holding a walking stick, he sat under a big tree at the entrance of the village.
Looking into the distance, he was waiting for the return of the village youth who had left in the past.
Suddenly, the Village Chief Grandpa seemed to see Zhao Mu, Xi, and Bei, as well as an unfamiliar youth.
Was he dreaming?
"Grandpa Li Zheng!"
When he heard the familiar voice, Li Zheng's grandfather knew that he wasn't dreaming. Everything was real. The person who had joined the army back then had returned.
The Li Zheng grandpa walked up enthusiastically, tears slowly flowing down his old face.
He carefully looked at Zhao Mu, Joy, and Sorrow.
Only three people came back. Yu, Dong, and Xi didn't come back.
However, the Village Chief Grandpa was already very happy. For so many years, only Zhao Mu, Xi, and Bei had returned from the village.
The others did not return.
"It's good that you're back!"
"It's good that you're back!"
Li Zheng's grandfather was so emotional that he shed tears, unable to control himself.
He shouted at the kids who were playing with mud to inform the villagers that Zhao Mu and the other two had returned.
When Zhao Mu was promoted to nobility, the county magistrate had come to the village. Moreover, the county magistrate would come every time after that.
Everyone in the village knew that Zhao Mu had become a high-ranking official.
However, they were still worried about the safety of Zhao Mu and the others on the battlefield, especially when Joy and Sorrow had already obtained their titles. This made the families of Yu, A'dong, and A'xi feel even more sad.
On the battlefield, there were always people who had to die.
Although they were all commoners at the lowest level, they would not hate Zhao Mu and the other two for no reason. After all, swords and swords had no eyes. It was already a very impressive thing for them to be able to protect themselves. If they wanted to protect others, they had to have the strength to do so.
"And this is?"
After the emotional shock, the Li Zheng's grandfather finally noticed Meng Tian.
? Zhao Mu introduced," This is our comrade from the army. He came with us to take a look and attend my wedding."”
"Aiya, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. You should be getting married when you come back. Not bad, not bad, it's time to get married. How can this family not have a seedling? Also, it's time for you to get married.”
In his eyes, the marriage of Zhao Mu and the other two was much more important than their titles.
Especially Zhao Mu. He was the only one in the family. If he didn't get married, how could he have an heir? Without an heir, it would be big and not small. Moreover, without an heir, how could he give all the assets that he had risked his life to outsiders?
Thinking of this, Li Zheng's grandfather led Zhao Mu and the others into the village.
At this moment, the villagers had already run out along with the children from before.
When Xi and Bei's parents saw Xi and Bei, they rushed over. Xi and Bei knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Zhao Mu felt a sense of comfort when he saw this.
