King Zhuang Xiang's angry expression immediately turned excited after Zhao Mu's plan was put forward. He was very happy and looked at Zhao Mu with a different gaze.
Zhao Mu did not disappoint him and gave him a very good idea.
He didn't even need to think about what to do. He just needed to follow Zhao Mu's instructions.
"Very good, I'll leave this matter to you. Zhao Mu, don't disappoint me.”
"Yes!"
Zhao Mu agreed.
After the court session ended, Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Mu's back with a hint of fear in his eyes.
If Zhao Mu was just a brave and invincible general, it would be fine. However, he was still so powerful in the political battles. This was too much of a threat to him.
Donghuang Shang came back from Mount Shu in a sorry state. The five great elders of the Yin-Yang School were all killed by Zhao Mu alone.
If Zhao Mu wanted to kill him with such strength.
Lu Buwei shivered, a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
He had to find someone to protect himself.
The experts in the net were not enough. They needed more experts.
Prince Zeng of the Wei Kingdom had always been in Xianyang of the Qin Kingdom as a hostage. After Lord Xinling led the alliance army to defeat Meng Ao, Prince Zeng thought that he would be killed by the King of Qin to vent his anger.
Fortunately, Qin Wang did not do so, which made his heart feel a little more at ease.
When his hanger-on told him that Zhao Mu, the fifth official of the State of Qin, had come to visit, Crown Prince Zeng was very puzzled.
This was because during the time he was held hostage in Xianyang, he was actually under house arrest.
There were only a few opportunities to go out for a walk. The rest of the time was spent in the mansion. No one could see or go out.
The fifth doctor was a noble of high rank. This was the first time such a high official had come to see him.
"I'll personally welcome them."
Crown Prince Zeng said in a deep voice.
He quickly walked to the entrance of the mansion. Sword Dao Zhao Mu was already waiting at the door.
A flattering smile immediately appeared on Crown Prince Zeng's face.
"Thank you for waiting."
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Zhao Mu cupped his fists and said.
This made Crown Prince Zeng feel a good impression of Zhao Mu, and his wariness towards Zhao Mu also dropped to the lowest.
After such a long time, even the Qin soldiers at the door didn't treat him well. This Fifth Physician was actually so polite to him.
This made him feel extremely honored.
Crown Prince Zeng hurriedly smiled and brought Zhao Mu into the mansion, instructing the guests to prepare a banquet.
Zhao Mu clapped his hands and carried in the gifts and gold and silver that the King of Qin had given to Crown Prince Zeng.
"These are all gifts from His Majesty.”
"In the future, Your Highness can also move freely in Xianyang City. You only need the Qin soldiers to protect Your Highness.”
Zhao Mu's words caused Crown Prince Zeng's smile to freeze on his face.
The excitement he felt from Zhao Mu's attitude towards him had disappeared without a trace. Instead, it was replaced by uneasiness.
"Sir, why is this?”
Zhao Mu's actions and the gifts sent by King Zhuang Xiang of Qin reminded Crown Prince Zeng of what his henchmen had told him about how criminals in prison would prepare a sumptuous meal in advance before they were beheaded.
Could it be that Qin wanted to kill him?
Zhao Mu looked at Crown Prince Zeng's uneasy expression and sighed. Then, he said with deep guilt,""Your Highness, Lord Xinling defeated the Qin army on the south bank of the Yellow River. He has been out for ten years and has been in close contact with the various vassals.
All the vassals respected and feared him. Now that Lord Xinling held the power of Wei and the vassal soldiers were under his command, the world only knew Lord Xinling but not the King of Wei.
Even our Qin State is afraid of Lord Xinling's power, so we plan to elect Lord Xinling as the King of Wei and then make peace with him. Once Lord Xinling becomes the King of Wei, he will naturally want us to kill His Highness and cut off the Wei people's hopes for the royal family.
At that time, even if he didn't kill His Highness, His Highness would have to live in Xianyang forever. The King was kind and felt sorry for His Highness, so he gave these to His Highness. He hoped that His Highness would accept them.”
Zhao Mu's words and his moving performance caused the Crown Prince's heart to turn cold, and the blood in his body turned cold to the bone marrow.
"How did this happen?"
"Lord, save me!"
Crown Prince Zeng was too afraid. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. His entire body actually trembled.
She even turned to Zhao Mu for help in a panic.
Zhao Mu sneered in his heart, but he said,"If Your Majesty is really afraid, why don't you write a secret letter to the King of Wei? Now that Great Qin and the State of Wei have made peace, as long as the King of Wei comes to invite Your Majesty back, Great Qin will definitely let Your Majesty go.”
"Is the King of Qin really willing to let me go?" Prince Zeng asked.”
" Your Highness," Zhao Mu said," the reason why Great Qin is willing to support Lord Xinling as the King of Wei is not because we are willing to do so, but because we fear Lord Xinling. If Your Highness and the King of Wei were determined to respect the Qin Kingdom as their master, why would the King not let Your Highness return to Wei?”
Crown Prince Zeng was in a state of panic. He only wanted to save his own life, and his mind was filled with the matter of Lord Xinling becoming the King of Wei.
He hurriedly wrote the letter and handed it to Zhao Mu.
"My lord, my life is in your hands. Please help me. I will never forget this favor."”
"Don't worry, Your Highness," Zhao Mu comforted Crown Prince Zeng."I'll definitely send the letter to the King of Wei.”
After Crown Prince Zeng was done, the net found Jin Bi's clan followers in Daliang City and gave them money.
These people already had a grudge against Lord Xinling, and now that they had obtained the gold and silver from the net, they could take revenge. Therefore, they kept spreading rumors that the vassals feared Lord Xinling's strength and planned to worship Lord Xinling as King of Wei.
Lord Xinling would soon usurp the throne.
As the saying goes, three people can become a tiger.
The King of Wei was a very suspicious person. In the beginning, he did not believe the rumors, but as the rumors increased, he did not believe them.
The King of Wei gradually began to suspect Lord Xinling.
Another spy from the Wei Kingdom in Xianyang informed the King of Wei, Lord Xinling's hanger-on, Xue Gong, that he had received great hospitality from the Great Qin Empire in Xianyang.
It seemed to further prove the authenticity of the rumors.
