Darkness might be cruel and cold, but it was also darkness that made people yearn for the light.
The light was right in front of him. As long as he kept running forward, he would one day touch that light.
Dong 'er grabbed Qin Mu's hand tightly and smiled. She slowly leaned her head on Qin Mu's shoulder and closed her eyes, gradually falling asleep.
That night, Dong 'er had a dream. She dreamed that she was running through a patch of grass that was taller than a person. The bright and beautiful sunlight shone on her beautiful face while Qin Mu chased after her. The two of them laughed and hugged each other.
The next morning, Li Jian brought a few soldiers into Handan Prison.
"Open the door!"
The prison servant guarding the prison quickly opened the door.
Qin Mu and Shen Yue opened their eyes at the same time and stood up to look at Li Jian who had walked in warily.
Lady Zhao, Little Ying Zheng, and Dong 'er were also woken up by the commotion. When they saw Li Jian in his armor, their faces were filled with fear.
Li Jian sized up Qin Mu and the others and said coldly,""Take Ying Zichu's wife and children away, and kill the rest!”
"How dare you!"
Qin Mu shouted loudly, his cold eyes staring at Li Jian as killing intent surged from his body.
Li Jian wasn't frightened by Qin Mu and said disdainfully,""You're just prisoners of my Zhao Country. What's there to be afraid of?”
"Li Jian, if you dare to touch us, my young master will not let you off!”Shen Yue said coldly.
"And don't forget, my young master is now the legitimate son of the Crown Prince of the State of Qin, the future King of Qin!”
Hearing this, Li Jian's expression changed, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
"Forget it. Take Ying Zichu's wife and children away, and keep the rest locked up!”
In the end, Li Jian still retreated. He was only a general of the State of Zhao and was only following the orders of the King. He could not afford to offend the future King of Qin for a moment of pleasure.
Immediately after, two soldiers prepared to tie Qin Mu, Zhao Ji, and Little Ying Zheng's hands with ropes.
"The State of Zhao is only so vigilant against a woman and two children.”Qin Mu mocked.
"Humph! I didn't expect you to be so sharp-tongued. There's no need to tie you up. Our Zhao country doesn't have to be afraid of a woman and child.”Li Jian coldly snorted.
Qin Mu and the other two were brought out of the prison by Li Jian.
"Sir, protect Dong 'er!" Qin Mu said to Shen Yue.
Shen Yue's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice," Mu 'er, you don't have to worry about us. You only need to protect yourself and your wife, Zheng' er."”
Dong 'er cried her eyes out and shouted at Qin Mu,""Ah Mu, you must be careful!"
Outside Handan Prison, a prison carriage stopped at the entrance.
"Go up!" Li Jian said coldly.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Qin Mu's eyes, and his heart burned with rage. Making them sit in prison carriages was simply an insult to them!
However, he had no choice but to lower his head under the eaves, so Qin Mu could only endure it!
"Mother, let's go in." Qin Mu held her hand and revealed a brilliant smile.
Lady Zhao was trembling from anger, but when she saw Qin Mu's smile, she suppressed it in the end.
When Qin Mu and the other two entered the carriage, soldiers immediately locked it.
At this moment, a group of five thousand Zhao soldiers walked over.
"General, we can set off!" A Zhao general cupped his hands towards Li Jian.
Li Jian nodded slightly, then turned around and sat on a horse, commanding the army,""Let's go!"
The prison carriage that Qin Mu and the other two were in was dismantled and placed in the center of the army, advancing together with the army.
Not long after, the army arrived at the streets of Handan City. At this moment, the streets were filled with commoners and peddlers. Everyone pointed at Qin Mu and the other two in the prison carriage, and their faces revealed either hatred or cold smiles.
Qin Mu lowered his head, and his body was trembling slightly. He clenched his ten fingers, and traces of blood flowed out from them.
Even Little Ying Zheng, who had always been innocent and naive, had an angry look on his face. His eyes were red. Although he was young, he could tell what humiliation was.
And right now, it was humiliation!
As a mother, Concubine Zhao hugged her two children tightly and cried softly. Tears flowed down her face.
"Mother, don't cry." Qin Mu raised his head to look at Lady Zhao, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"And Zheng 'er, you're not allowed to cry either!”
Qin Mu's eyes were fixed on the crying Little Ying Zheng, and his tone was extremely stern.
Frightened by Qin Mu's gaze, Little Ying Zheng immediately wiped away the tears on his face and said with a trembling voice,""Zheng 'er…Zheng' er, don't cry!"
Qin Mu looked at the mocking expressions on the faces of the people of Zhao and listened to their words that were filled with humiliation.
"Zheng 'er, you must remember these people's faces. You must remember them!”Qin Mu's eyes were red, and his voice was incomparably hoarse.
"We brothers must remember today's humiliation!”
This sentence was said to Little Ying Zheng, and at the same time, it was also said to Qin Mu himself.
Little Ying Zheng followed Qin Mu's gaze and took in all the mockery and insults.
"One day, we will all return to the State of Qin, but forever! Never forget the faces of these people! Never forget the humiliation and humiliation we suffered when we were young!”
"Zheng 'er won't forget!"
Little Ying Zheng gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with a fiery rage named 'hate'.
Qin Mu nodded his head in gratification. He stretched out his hand to stroke Little Ying Zheng's head and said softly,""Big brother promises you that in the near future, big brother will personally wash away today's humiliation and lead the Great Qin Cavalry to destroy Handan!”
"Father is already the Crown Prince's legitimate son, the future King of Qin, and your son is also the future King of Qin!”
"As a king, your ambition and determination must extend to the ends of the heavens. I, your big brother, am the sword in your hand, the sword that conquers everything!”
When Lady Zhao heard Qin Mu's words, her expression became slightly complicated. There was pity, pain, and reluctance.
Mu 'er, you've changed."
Qin Mu smiled lightly and looked at the gloomy sky.
"In this chaotic world, people will change. However, no matter what Mu 'er becomes, he is still Mother's child.”
When the army left Handan City, they saw a vast plain.
Qin Mu turned his head to look at Handan City that was gradually moving further and further away. He stretched out his hand and grabbed, muttering,""Just wait and see, mother. One day, I will personally destroy this city!”
