Chapter 441 Can be used

Cheng Jiao could sense that there were many experts around the hall.

This was a very normal thing, but the royal guards who were slowly gathering around him made him wonder if Zhao Qian and Guo Kai had problems with their brains.

Li Mu had just returned victorious and was ready to take him down on the spot?
Do you really think you are Lao Zhu?
Li Mu's strength was much weaker than Cheng Jiao's. He only sensed that there were some expert guards around him. After all, King Zhao was here, so it was normal to have expert guards. He also didn't think that Guo Kai and Zhao Qian would attack him at this time.

Just to be on the safe side, he even used secret methods to expel the water and wine that were given to him, so as to avoid being poisoned.

Seeing that Li Mu was so cautious, Guo Kai was glad that he had made some more arrangements.

He originally wanted to be cautious and prepare himself, but Zhao Qian, this idiot, ignored the opinions of the court and the people and just rushed forward.

How naive! Not to mention the impact, do you really think that a cup of poisoned wine can get rid of Li Mu, who is famous in the seven countries?
Especially at this moment, it would be strange if Li Mu could be poisoned by such a simple poison!
Li Mu looked around at the civil and military officials around him, all of whom were from Guo Kai's faction. Although they flattered him a lot, they all clearly drew a line between themselves and him.

Feeling bored, Li Mu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am too drunk and tired from the journey, so I will take my leave now."

Zhao Qian's expressionless face darkened. Guo Kai was right. His poisoned wine was completely useless.

"Humph! Li Mu, do you not take me seriously?"

Li Mu frowned, looking at the teenager on the throne, listening to his childish words without any sophistication, and felt that the future of Zhao State was bleak.

If Zhao Qian continued to be king, I am afraid that Zhao would have to offer maps and seek peace in the future.

It is imperative to welcome Master Jia back!

Guo Kai listened to his subordinates' words in his ear, nodded slightly, and stood up.

Pointing at Li Mu, he suddenly shouted coldly: "How dare you, Li Mu, to murder the new king! Someone, come here! Capture the traitor Li Mu!"

Not only was Li Mu confused, but the civil and military officials below were also puzzled. After all, Li Mu was the only military general who took on the important role of the State of Zhao after Lian Po. Especially at the moment of returning victoriously, was it okay to frame him in public like this?

Li Mu gritted his teeth and shouted, "Guo Kai, how did I murder the new king?"

Guo Kai said coldly: "Someone reported that you had colluded with the imperial guards and wanted to take advantage of the triumphant return and the new king's accession to the throne to secretly rebel. There is evidence from both the witnesses and the evidence. If you don't believe it, just surrender for now. I will give you the opportunity to refute it in person."

Zhao Qian laughed loudly and said, "Li Mu, you have spent all your efforts in vain. Unfortunately, you still failed at the last moment. I saw through your plan at a glance! Come on, capture Li Mu, regardless of life or death!"

Li Mu looked very unhappy. He was careless and underestimated Guo Kai's shamelessness and overestimated Zhao Qian's intelligence and vision.

Don’t they know that if they die for no reason, the Wolf Tribe in the north, the powerful Qin in the west, and the neighboring Yan State will definitely make great movements?
Pang Nuan is now lying at home seriously ill, Sima Shang was killed by Cheng Jiao, and there are only a few generals who can lead the army...

If General Lian Po had not beaten Le Cheng in anger, Zhao State would still have a useful general to serve as his right-hand man.

pity……

Li Mu's mind was in turmoil, hesitating whether to advance or retreat.

With his strength, it is not difficult for him to escape, not to mention that Zhao Qian is right in front of him. As long as he is captured, no one will dare to attack him.

But therein lies the difficulty. If he really did it, then even if Guo Kai’s false accusation was not true, it would become true.

Cheng Jiao watched with interest.

I don’t know what choice Li Mu, who has always been loyal to Zhao State, will make.

According to historical records, Li Mu was captured by Zhao Wangqian and Guo Kai and died unjustly.

Of course, he did not die during the Qin Dynasty, so he chose to go to the northern border to live in hiding and plant peach trees.

Li Mu took a deep breath. No matter what, he couldn't be caught on the spot. Otherwise, relying on Ya Fei alone would not be enough to help him clear his grievances.

"Your Majesty has been deceived by the treacherous minister Guo Kai. Please forgive me for refusing to obey your orders!"

Cheng Jiao's eyes were filled with admiration. He was not pedantic and knew how to judge the situation. Guo Kai laughed and said, "Li Mu, I know you are very good at martial arts. Do you really think I am not prepared?"

At this point, Guo Kai stopped pretending and simply waved his hand, and countless royal guards poured into the hall.

Benefiting from the experience of suffering a loss at the hands of Cheng Jiao, Guo Kai directly mobilized thousands of royal guards, each armed with powerful bows and crossbows.

He just didn't believe that Li Mu could be like Cheng Jiao and fight against a thousand people alone.

If that were the case, would the State of Yan still be able to exist, and would the wolf tribe still have the energy to hunt?

Li Mu's face looked extremely ugly. Damn, he thought too highly of him.

Although he is among the top masters, he has not yet reached the realm of heaven and man, and is simply unable to defeat a thousand elite soldiers.

Not to mention, the sword and armor on his body were taken off when he entered the palace. In such a situation, is he going to die here?

Upon seeing this, Guo Kai immediately spoke up and put more effort into it.

"Li Mu, if you surrender now, you can still survive. If you resist... humph!"

Zhao Qian said impatiently: "Prime Minister Guo, just kill him!"

Guo Kai winked and whispered, "Your Majesty, if you can avoid killing him in person, then don't do it. After all, Li Mu is a general and has many trusted men in the army. If you are not careful, he will be used by those with ulterior motives. It is better to take it slow and lock him up for a while before killing him!"

No matter what, today is Li Mu's celebration banquet. If the real culprit is killed on the spot, no one knows what the consequences will be.

Although Zhao Qian's brain was not working well, he knew what was good and what was bad, and he immediately said, "Li Mu, I will give you a chance to prove your innocence, I hope you will not be ungrateful!"

Li Mu estimated the possibility of being able to force his way out, and finally sighed helplessly.

I didn't expect Guo Kai to be so cautious, fearing that he wouldn't be able to take him down.

"I hope the king can see clearly."

Li Mu had no choice but to bow his head and wait for his time to be useful.

If you are imprisoned once, it will be very dangerous.

I hope Ya Fei can persuade Cheng Jiao to save his life.

This is one of the few opportunities he has.

Cheng Jiao shook his head slightly. Zhao Qian was too stupid now.

But he had no intention of helping Li Mu at this time.

Anyway, he won't die for a while. With the arrangements he made for the Queen, at least there is no need to worry about Li Mu losing limbs.

……

By the time Cheng Jiao returned to the Qin envoy's inn, rumors had already been spread in Handan City by Guo Kai.

Seeing the anxious Concubine Ya, Cheng Jiao coughed and said, "I have already inquired about it. General Li Mu has been imprisoned in the palace prison. His life is not in danger for the time being. However, judging from the actions of Guo Kai and Zhao Qian, General Li Mu is likely to die."

The Snow Girl looked at Cheng Jiao with some suspicion. Is it such a coincidence?

A few hours ago, he told her to go to the palace, and now Li Mu was framed and arrested.

Cheng Jiao secretly blinked at Xue Nu, looking somewhat innocent. He did not expect Zhao Qian and Guo Kai to be so powerful and take action directly.
