C107 (1/2)

Within the Duke of Qin's palace.

The Duke of Qin, the three officials, and the six Wu Mu were quite relaxed as they gathered in the back garden.

Sima An smiled and said, ”Your Majesty, the emperor of Shu is timid. Before the Great Qin sent out his troops, the emperor had already written twelve letters begging for surrender. It seems that the emperor of Shu is indeed rather weak.”

There was purple lightning in Lei Hong's eyes, like a thunder god. ”Shu is indeed nothing to worry about. In fact, even if Chu and Shu joined forces, they still wouldn't be a match for His Majesty.”

Wu Mu was like an unsheathed treasured sword. ”I can't be careless. If I were to say that there is another great threat to the Great Qin, it would undoubtedly be Han Li.”

Hearing Wu Mu's words, Qin Wang, Lei Hong, and Sima An all cast their gazes towards him.

In terms of military affairs, Wu Mu had the most voice, ”That Han Li can be said to be a divine general in command, and my Western Lion Marshal, Jiang Yidao, was defeated by him. In this battle, not because of the difference in strength, but because of the ability to lead, Han Li was able to fight in the Weihe War. Han Li only had three thousand elite soldiers.

Qin Wang's eyes flickered. ”Wu Mu, I've never heard of your battle with Shu before. You don't know about it!”

On the contrary, he smiled and said, ”Your Majesty does not know. Jiang Yidao knew that defeat is not an option, and although his rank is high because of his power, he will not be put to death, but the military law is also extremely harsh. Therefore, this man charged into Shu City alone after his defeat and killed one of the Great Generals of Shu.

The Duke of Qin pondered for a moment before turning around with a smile amidst the silence, ”Wu Mu, our Great Qin has always been a meritorious general. Every merit has always been rewarded, and every punishment has always been punished. You've broken the rules this time!”

Wu Mu obviously knew the Duke of Qin's personality, and upon hearing his words, he nodded his head. ”Your Majesty is right. After this matter is settled, this subject shall tie him up and let the Duke of Qin handle him.”

The Duke of Qin smiled as he patted Wu Mu's shoulder. ”Don't play such a small trick on me!”

Sima An pursed his lips, ”Brother Wu Mu, you didn't say anything earlier or later. His Majesty just ordered Marshal Feng to do this, and you've already made the decision. When we've accomplished a great deed, how could the Duke of Qin punish you for it?”

Lei Hong mocked him when he heard this, ”You really want to protect yourself with all these little tricks? Could it be that His Majesty will deny your face?”

Wu Mu touched his nose. These three men were telling the truth, so he naturally wouldn't refute them.

The Duke of Qin continued, ”If that's the case, then that Han Li is truly a talented person. I wonder if he could be of use to me?”

Wu Mu paused for a moment and thought for a while, ”That's true. This person in Shu has suffered a lot. Then Shu's pleas for surrender are too loud. Only a few loyal generals would dare to challenge him. ”If we were to empathize with him and reason with him, we might actually be able to plot against him. If we were able to plot against him, then the war in Shu will be a certainty.”

When the Duke of Qin heard Wu Mu praise this man so highly, he couldn't help but be startled. He turned to the other three and asked, ”May I ask who do you think is suitable for this job?”

Lei Hong thought for a moment. ”In my opinion, both Thirteenth Prince and Twenty-third Prince are capable of doing this.”

Sima An waved his hand, ”No, you can't. Now that there's a fight in Shu, how can I let Longzi take the risk? In my opinion, it would be most suitable for him to be transferred from Chinese to Chinese.”

Wu Mu added, ”The two princes are indeed very suitable. However, this trip is fraught with dangers. If not, they might lose their lives. There's no need to let them take the risk.”

Sima An hurriedly said, ”That's right, that's right.”

The Duke of Qin smiled. ”If they're suitable, then let them go. As princes of the Great Qin Empire, they have enjoyed blessings that others cannot enjoy. It's time for them to work for the Great Qin!”

Without waiting for the trio to speak, the Duke of Qin waved his hand.

Not far away, a eunuch saw the hand gesture and hurriedly rushed over. He then stooped his body and stood up with his ears perked up.

Qin Wang said, ”Have Qi'er and Shi'er come to my place!”

The eunuch replied in a low voice, ”Yes.” Then, he took ten steps back, turned around, and trotted away.

Seeing that the Duke of Qin had made up his mind, Wu Mu and the other two men glanced at the six unhappily. Lei Hong could think of a way to let the prince take the risk.

Lei Hong seemed not to have heard of it as he asked, ”Your Majesty, calling the two princes to come as well, do you wish to take the test and decide on the person in Shu?”

Che'er, I've given a copy of the Three Sovereigns' Heart Sutra, and Shi'er, I've also given a copy of the Five Emperors' Treasure Policy. These two are the most outstanding princes of our Great Qin Empire, so there's no need to mention their abilities.

The Duke of Qin called himself the First Emperor! The will of the First Emperor, was unique, it was the beginning of the universe.
