In front of the granary camp of Xianyang, the battle was ready to start.
Commandant Qin Ruo was shivering because he had already realized that he had been involved in something that he should never have been involved in.
He was extremely regretful. He should not have taken the initiative to take on this matter in order to please Lu Qing.
He also understood why a few commandants looked at him as if he was a fool. Those people probably already knew that this matter was not simple.
Lu Qing was not like Qin Ruo. He looked at Zhao Mu and sneered in his heart. Zhao Mu would die without a burial place in a while.
Zhao Mu gripped the Blue Dragon Halberd tightly. He was still waiting.
He could only make his move after receiving the order from Ying Zheng, the King of Qin.
Heng Chi stared at Zhao Mu with killing intent in his eyes. He was about to give the order to shoot.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Zhao Gao, a trusted eunuch of the King of Qin, and a young general and more than ten cavalrymen quickly rushed over.
"The King of Qin's decree has arrived!" Zhao Gao shouted.”
Heng Kong and Lu Qing felt a sense of foreboding.
"Fire the arrows!" Lu Qing said directly.
Although he couldn't order the guards of Xianyang, he could order the guards of the granary.
These guards were already tense. When they heard Lu Qing's order, they subconsciously released their arrows. Then, they realized that they had done something they should not have done, and their faces immediately turned pale.
When Zhao Mu saw Lu Qing brazenly make a move, a fury immediately arose in his heart.
"Raise your shields!"
The old soldiers were extremely experienced in battle. At this moment, they could see the benefits of these old soldiers.
With Zhao Mu's order, they took out their shields without any time to block the arrows.
The sound of the arrows clashing against the shield was endless. The arrows did not cause any damage to the old soldier.
Zhao Mu brandished his Blue Dragon Halberd so tightly that water couldn't enter his body. Those crossbow bolts couldn't hurt him.
After a round of crossbow bolts, Zhao Mu and the old soldier didn't suffer any casualties.
Zhao Gao had already arrived at the scene.
"The King of Qin's decree has arrived. Lu Qing, who gave you the courage to attack?" he said angrily.”
"The arrow has to be shot. I didn't do it on purpose."”
Zhao Gao snorted. He unfolded the holy decree and read it out loud,"Xianyang Granary Guard General Lu Qing deliberately seized the grain and fodder of the expedition army. His crime is unforgivable. His entire family will be executed and Zhang Han will be appointed as the granary guard general.”
After the holy decree was read out, the old soldiers were all extremely excited. As expected, someone was maliciously making things difficult for them. Now, they even wanted to slander them for rebelling.
Qin Ruo's face was completely pale, but Lu Qing said angrily,""When have I ever withheld the provisions of the expedition army? I don't know anything about this matter, but you're blaming me. Your Majesty, please investigate carefully!
On the other hand, Zhao Mu had mobilized 30,000 troops to attack the granary of Xianyang. His crime was unforgivable, but the king did not care. This would probably disappoint the civil and military officials.”
Lu Qing's words completely infuriated Zhao Gao and Zhang Han.
Zhang Han didn't expect that Lu Qing would dare to ignore the King's decree after seizing the rations.
This made Zhang Han even more aware of the difficulty of the King's position.
Zhao Mu raised the Blue Dragon Halberd and looked at Heng Kong.
"General Heng Jue, the truth is clear. Do you still want to make a move?”
"I think you're the ones who want to rebel!”
Heng Cui frowned. He thought for a moment and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to put down their weapons.
? Zhao Mu then urged his warhorse and charged towards Lu Qing.
Lu Qing immediately ordered his soldiers to attack Zhao Mu, but none of them moved.
If they didn't kill him, Zhao Gao had already read out the holy order.
Lu Qing was finished.
Seeing that the soldiers were not moving, Lu Qing snorted coldly and immediately commanded his 100 or so personal soldiers to charge towards Zhao Mu.
These personal guards were his retainers and only listened to his orders.
Naturally, they would not be like the other soldiers. They all charged towards Zhao Mu.
However, Zhao Mu just stared at them coldly and brandished his Azure Dragon Halberd.
The strength of ten thousand Jin, coupled with the sharp and cold halberd blade, was naturally not something that these personal guards could withstand.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Zhao Mu brandished the Azure Dragon Halberd with both hands. Wherever the Azure Dragon Halberd passed, the soldiers fell off their horses and died.
Not a single one of the hundred or so personal guards was able to block half a move from Zhao Mu.
In less than half an incense's time, Zhao Mu had already killed all his bodyguards and rushed in front of Lu Qing.
Only then did Lu Qing start to panic.
"It was the Prime Minister who ordered me. Zhao Mu, you can't kill me."
Before he could finish his sentence, the Blue Dragon Halberd had already swept past Lu Qing's neck. A large head flew up in an instant, spinning in the sky and rolling on the ground.
Lu Qing's death terrified everyone present.
No one had expected Zhao Mu to be so strong. Lu Qing could not even last a single move against him, and the hundred plus personal guards could not even hold Zhao Mu back for a moment.
Qin Ruo was so frightened that she fainted.
This made Zhao Mu frown. He thought that Qin Ruo was timid and ignored him.
The old soldiers looked at their general's invincible heroic bearing, and all of them were excited.
The stronger their general was, the more likely they would be able to make contributions on the battlefield and survive.
In addition to Zhao Mu's importance to them, and for the sake of Zhang Meng, they forcefully barged into the camp of the Xianyang Granary. All these made the old soldiers die for Zhao Mu.
After Lu Qing's death, the granary of Xianyang was without a leader. Zhang Han used the King of Qin's decree and Zhao Mu's power to take over the granary of Xianyang, taking control of the most important granary of Xianyang City.
Heng Chi watched all of this and had no way to stop it. After all, all of this was arranged by the King of Qin's decree, even if the King of Qin was not diligent.
However, he was the King of Qin after all. No one could openly violate his holy order.
After Zhang Han took over the granary of Xianyang, he released Zhang Meng and the others.
Qin Ruo naturally could not escape death.
Zhao Mu was too lazy to pay attention to this.
He had obtained sufficient rations from Zhang Han. As people of Qin Wang's faction, their relationship was naturally very harmonious.
Zhao Gao returned to report, and Heng He led the Xianyang guards away.
However, Heng Chi knew that he was probably blacklisted by the King of Qin, and he would have to follow Lu Buwei to the end.
