Qin Country, Xianyang.
Ever since the old King of Qin was seriously ill, all matters of the state of Qin had been controlled by the Crown Prince An Guojun. Although An Guojun had a weak personality, he did things with the demeanor of his father, the old King of Qin.
For example, when the State of Zhao was preparing to attack the State of Qin while the old King of Qin was seriously ill, King An listened to Ying Zichu's suggestion and immediately sent an envoy to the State of Yan to lobby and implement the strategy of using Yan to control the State of Zhao.
In just a month, they had seen results. Now that the Zhao army had retreated to the Eastern Region to resist the Yan army, they had no time to attack the Qin army.
Even the Qin country used this opportunity to pressure the Zhao country. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
Zhangtai Palace.
Lu Buwei tidied his clothes and entered the palace with his head slightly lowered.
In the royal palace, An Guojun sat on the top and Ying Zichu stood on the side.
"I, Lu Buwei, pay my respects to Your Highness!”Lu Buwei knelt down before the king of An.
An Guojun smiled kindly and said,""Stand up and talk."
"Thank you, Crown Prince."
"I heard from Zichu that this plan to use Yan to subdue Zhao was your idea.”An Guojun said.
Lu Buwei quickly knelt down and said," Young Master, you are kind and benevolent. You have pushed the credit to me. I would not dare to be greedy."”
"This commoner is a lowly merchant. I was trusted by Young Master and promoted by the Crown Prince.”
An Guojun showed a touch of admiration on his face and nodded,""Even so, your contribution cannot be ignored. How about this, I'll make you a guest elder and give you a thousand pounds of gold.”
A thousand jin of gold referred to a thousand jin of copper, not gold.
One gold referred to gold, which meant that 'gold' was generally referred to as copper, and the latter was true gold.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Lu Buwei bowed.
Ying Zichu also bowed to King An and said,"Thank you, Father."”
"Yes, you may leave." An Guojun nodded.
Lu Buwei stood up but didn't leave. He bowed and said,""Reporting to the Crown Prince, yesterday, the spy I planted in Handan, Zhao, reported that Lord Pingyuan of Zhao will be heading to Xianyang in a few days and will be returning with his wife and children.”
Ying Zichu's body trembled as he said excitedly,"Lord Ping Yuan wants to send Mu 'er and Zheng' er back?”
Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zichu and said in a deep voice," Except for Eldest Young Master Qin Mu."
"What do you mean?" Ying Zichu's expression changed, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
King An also frowned. During this period of time, the old king of Qin had been looking forward to the return of Qin Mu and Ying Zheng every day. It was also because of this that the old king of Qin had been able to hold on until now. Otherwise, he would have long...
Lu Buwei's gaze flickered." The news I received is that the son of King Zhao, Gongzi Yan, wanted to murder his wife and family. When Qin Mu found out, he injured him…"
Lu Buwei then told him what happened in Handan City half a month ago, including how Qin Mu had been forced to kidnap Crown Prince Yi and the details of the fierce battle with the thousand Zhao soldiers outside the city.
"What did you say? Qin Mu is a seventh grade martial artist!"
King An stood up with a shocked expression.
Ying Zichu was both shocked and angry, and he quickly said, How is Qin Mu now?"
Lu Buwei hurriedly replied," I don't know for now. Eldest Young Master disappeared after escaping Handan City. Now, the entire State of Zhao is hunting Eldest Young Master and has sealed off the borders of Qin and Zhao."”
Father, please save Mu 'er!" Ying Zichu knelt down and shouted at King An.
An Guojun's face was complicated. There was shock, excitement, and disbelief.
"You may leave first." An Guojun looked at Lu Buwei.
"Yes!"
Lu Buwei looked deeply at Ying Zichu, then left the palace.
After Lu Buwei left, An Guojun sighed.
"Now I know why my father is in such a hurry to see your second son.”
"Zichu, what secret does Qin Mu have?”
Ying Zichu kneeled on the ground with a hesitant look on his face. He shook his head and said,"Zichu can't say."
"It was your grandfather's order, right?”King An said with a complicated expression.
Ying Zichu nodded.
"I understand!"
An Guojun took a deep breath and said excitedly,""Eleven years old! Rank-7! From ancient times until now, only the King Wu who founded the Zhou Dynasty had such ability!”
" And a Martial King has an innate constitution!"
"Cai! It was so colorful! Great Qin has produced a dragon this time! A dragon has really appeared!"
An Guojun cheered excitedly, his face full of excitement and joy.
The innate constitution did not only mean that one's aptitude was unparalleled, but it also symbolized a huge amount of luck.
Ying Zichu said," Mu 'er is now alone in the country of Zhao, and the King of Zhao has sent people to hunt him down. Father, please save Mu' er!"”
"Zichu, don't worry. Mu 'er is the dragon of my Qin country. Father will not let him be hurt no matter what.”Anguo Jun helped Ying Zichu to stand up.
"Now, follow me to see your grandfather. This matter is of great importance and must be decided by him.”
…………
Zhao Country, on a hill outside Wuan City.
Qin Mu was dressed in black and wore a bamboo hat. He sat on the horse's back and looked at the distant Wuan City.
When he saw the guards searching the pedestrians at the entrance of Wuan City, Qin Mu's expression turned ugly.
After leaving Handan City, Qin Mu had already fled for half a month.
In the past half a month, Qin Mu had encountered dozens of assassinations, and those who attacked him were all martial artists from the State of Zhao.
In order to chase after Qin Mu, the King of Zhao issued a bounty. Anyone who killed Qin Mu would be given the title of a thousand households and rewarded with a thousand gold.
Such a high reward shook the entire State of Zhao, including the martial artists.
Right now, the entire country of Zhao was searching for Qin Mu. The entrance and exit of every city were extremely tight, and there was even a portrait of Qin Mu pasted at the city gates.
During this half a month, Qin Mu had to deal with those martial artists while fleeing in the direction of the State of Qin.
The number of martial artists who had died in Qin Mu's hands had already exceeded three digits.
"The King of Zhao has sealed off the entire country. This way, the border between Qin and Zhao will be even tighter.”Qin Mu narrowed his eyes and turned to look southwest.
"Perhaps we can only enter the Changping Battlefield from there!”
