Chapter 65: Jingwei's Change
Ying Zifei's confident smile made Li Mu feel a slight sting in his eyes.

Such confidence is too dazzling.

"Your blind self-confidence has caused me to lower my opinion of you by one level."

Although King Ying Zheng of Qin now appears to be a wise man, he does not yet have the qualities to be a hegemon.

Ying Zifei smiled, unable to deny this statement, and after pouring wine for Li Mu, he said: "General, we will discuss the judgment of our king in the future."

"For the general, with Zifei's current strength and ambitions, initial cooperation between us is still feasible, isn't it?"

Li Mu felt a pain in his liver. This kid was going around in circles and still wanted to drag him, Li Mu, into this. He really wanted to just refuse outright, but when he thought of the kid's vague plan, Li Mu could not suppress the restlessness in his heart.

The upper troops attacked the plot, the second attacked the Jiaotong, the second attacked the soldiers, and the lower attacked the city.

Some of the things that this kid planned and promoted made Li Mu see some possibilities, which were possibilities that any general would find difficult to refuse.

After drinking three cups in a row, Li Mu stared at Ying Zifei with a leisurely look and asked, "Aren't you worried that if I agree to cooperate now, I will choose to withdraw in the future due to changes in the situation, causing turmoil in the implementation of your plan?"

"You and I both know that if Qin wants to continue to move eastward, it cannot bypass Zhao."

"As the Lord of Wu'an of Zhao, I will certainly do my utmost to stop Qin from encroaching on Zhao."

Ying Zifei looked calm and smiled, "General, if you want to accomplish something, the process will never be smooth."

"You and I may become rivals that give each other headaches in the future, but at this moment, cooperation will not harm the interests of either country."

As he spoke, Ying Zifei sighed: "It is difficult to accomplish anything, and it is even more difficult to accomplish great things."

"General, you are worried that Zifei is plotting against you and endangering Zhao. This worry is understandable."

"However, the general has already thought about the future. If there is a real fight, we will just have to use our own methods."

Hearing this, Li Mu stared at Ying Zifei for a while, and then said helplessly: "Boy, at this moment, I finally believe that King Qin Ying Zheng is really extraordinary."

Li Mu has now experienced how terrifying Ying Zifei is, but what kind of person is King Ying Zheng of Qin who can make this guy trust him so much?

The two men clinked glasses, drank the wine in the glasses, and then Li Mu stood up.

"I will cooperate with some of your plans when I return to the border."

"but"

Li Mu looked down at Ying Zifei from a high position and warned him: "When I find out that you have plans that are harmful to Zhao, I will hunt down your deployment on the border without any clues."

After saying this, Li Mu turned and left. Ying Zifei stood up and bowed respectfully to express his gratitude.

Li Mu, who walked out of the door, sensed Ying Zifei's move and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

……

After Li Mu returned to his mansion, he washed, changed into court clothes, and prepared to go to the palace to meet the king.

In the palace, Li Muxing paid his respects and stated his purpose.

When King Zhao heard that some powerful people in Zhao State asked Li Mu to take care of the caravan at the border, he immediately understood that Li Mu came to express his position in case he, the king, would have any suspicions in the future.

Being very satisfied with Li Mu's attitude, the King of Zhao also made his attitude clear, saying that Li Mu should handle the border affairs.

It was a conversation between the monarch and his minister, and both of them were very satisfied. After Li Mu left, King Zhao called the manager of the inner treasury to ask about the border caravan.

King Zhao is no fool, and naturally knows that the benefits are not small, as they are coveted by the powerful people in the country.

After finding out the truth, King Zhao immediately ordered people to prepare a caravan to join. His treasury was so empty that the rats were almost starving to death, and he was unwilling to miss the opportunity to replenish the treasury.

"Your Majesty, I recommend Guo Kai to handle this matter for you. With his ability, he will surely be able to cover up some of the traces."

King Zhao knew that this matter could not be handled openly and needed to be covered up, so he agreed to the man's recommendation.

Guo Kai is very tactful and handles things appropriately, so he can indeed handle this matter well.

"Then let's go with Guo Kai!"

After agreeing on this matter, King Zhao did not ask any more questions. He believed that Guo Kai would not let him down.

……

Guo Kai was a man of great insight. When he figured out the twists and turns, he immediately went to find Wu'an Jun Li Mu who was about to leave Handan.

The two of them talked just enough, but they both knew what to do.

After Guo Kai left, Li Mu sat quietly for a while, feeling speechless.

The reason why he informed the king about the caravan was not only because he trusted him, but also because he wanted to prevent Ying Zifei from trying to push some of the Zhao nobles' attention to the border in the future, making it difficult for Li Mu to cope with the situation.

But now the king's reaction told him that Ying Zifei, that bastard, had deliberately provoked him during the conversation that day, making him subconsciously alert.

Now other powerful people have not been involved yet, but the king has been involved first.

Many secrets are not secrets at all. It is because of the tacit understanding of turning a blind eye that some things become secrets.

"This bastard is really lucky for him."

Cursing inwardly, Li Mu understood that once Ying Zifei knew that King Zhao was behind Guo Kai, he would definitely lure him into the trap step by step.

When it comes to arousing people's hearts, Li Mu has already surrendered to Ying Zifei. Didn't you see that he is now cooperating with that guy?

Li Mu suppressed his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. The next day, Li Mu left Handan and returned to the border with his personal guards.

"I thought he would come to me to warn me again." On the third floor of the restaurant, in front of the open window, Ying Zifei said with a smile as he watched Li Mu and his group leave.

"Let someone contact Guo Kai and help him quickly expand the caravan." Ying Zifei closed the window, stretched his body, and said happily: "They are all good pioneers. When the benefits are big enough, it will be more difficult for Li Mu's border troops to escape our plan."

Xu Gou agreed, and Ying Zifei reminded him of some things before letting him leave.

After staying in the restaurant for a while, Ying Zifei returned to the courtyard where he was temporarily living.

"Sir, the people of Yin Yang School miscalculated. Intelligence has come in, and Luo Wang has taken the lead in mobilizing and conveying the order, asking Jing Wei to leave Xinling and go after the current owner of the Hanguang Sword."

Sishe's report made Ying Zifei narrow his eyes slightly, and then he thought of something and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Send a message to our people, and have them pretend they don't know anything, and just cooperate with the Yin-Yang family to erase all traces of Jing Wei."

Hearing this, Sishe worriedly said, "Sir, if you treat Yin Yang Family like this, will it lead to a bigger conflict?"

"No, this is not perfunctory." Ying Zifei laughed and said happily: "Our deal with Dongjun is that we will not interfere in Jingwei's affairs in the future. We are now doing things according to the principles of our mutual transactions."

As he spoke, he patted Sishe's shoulder and said meaningfully: "Integrity is our principle. If we say we won't interfere, we won't interfere."

The corner of Sishe's mouth twitched slightly. This time, the three Yin-Yang Pills of the Yin-Yang family were easily obtained by his own young master.

……

Xinling, Wei Wuji's residence, Jingwei's silent departure caught Wei Wuji off guard.

"What on earth was she thinking?" Wei Wuji felt that the last moment he had expected was getting further and further away. Jing Wei's departure completely shattered his idea of ​​taking the opportunity to throw that thing into the game.

"Your Majesty, our people have completely lost track of her." The confidant's cold face was a little broken at this moment. It was now difficult to predict whether Jingwei would leave the baby in her belly.

"I'm afraid we need to adjust our plans." Wei Wuji smiled bitterly. Jingwei's departure without saying goodbye meant that Jingwei already had other plans.

Wei Wuji had succeeded in pushing Jingwei, but now it seems that he has failed.

"Your Majesty, is it too late to adjust the plan now?" The confidant became worried. If there was a slight mistake, the so-called arrangement would be destroyed by the people who were watching them.

Wei Wuji closed his eyes and thought deeply. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked his forehead. After thinking for a while, he said, "Immediately contact Tian Guang, the leader of the Farmers' Clan. We need the power of the Farmers' Clan to help adjust the plan."

Hearing this, the confidant said worriedly: "Your Majesty, there are constant disputes within the farming family. They are definitely not good helpers."

"I know," Wei Wuji said helplessly, "At this moment, only the farmers can give me some trust."

"Rather than asking the farmers to help, it's actually asking the person behind Tian Guang to help fill in the gaps in the future."

"Compared to other people, that person always has something in mind. There is a tacit understanding between him and me."

The confidant said no more and turned to leave to do his business. Wei Wuji walked out of the room and looked at the dripping rain, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

"Jingwei, Jingwei, you really gave me a great surprise."

Murmuring, Wei Wuji's eyes became firm. He must try his best to live a little longer. Otherwise, he would not be able to close his eyes even when he died.

"Ying Zifei, I hope this is not your doing, otherwise I will have to bet everything on your life."

Wei Wuji gnashed his teeth and secretly hated the person who had ruined his plan. He had originally thought of using his own life to settle some things, but now he had lost the opportunity.

The rain continued to fall, and Wei Wuji stood there for a long time before turning around and going back to the house.

A few days passed, and when Jingwei's whereabouts were deliberately covered up, Wei Wuji finally gave up his hope.

At the same time, some information was also found out by his people. When Wei Wuji learned that the Yin-Yang School and the people behind Luowang had been involved, he was completely speechless.

How could this woman Jingwei have deserved to be caught up in that vortex?

No wonder she didn't want the trump cards and chips I left for her. This woman actually wanted to join the game and break it out.

"Jingwei, ah Jingwei, it's easy to enter the game, but hard to break out."

Wei Wuji burned the information in his hand to ashes and looked into the distance.

"Good luck!"

"If the child can be born safely, I wish him good luck."

……

"Ying Zifei, damn it!"

In a small town in the territory of Zhao State, when the people from Heibingtai informed Dongjun of Heibingtai's attitude, he bit his lip lightly, and became furious.

Honesty? You, Ying Zifei, are really an honest man.

At this time, Dongjun was a little suspicious. Jingwei was suddenly mobilized to assassinate the owner of the Hanguang Sword. Was it because Ying Zifei deliberately leaked some information to certain people?

Just as he was getting angry, the Moon God arrived and said to Dong Jun: "Jing Wei sent a message saying that she needs our help to hold back some people so that she has time to make arrangements."

Hearing this, Dong Jun narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Is she still trustworthy now?"

The Moon Goddess smiled slightly and said calmly: "From the beginning, we were just cooperating with each other."

"It doesn't matter whether you trust us or not. What matters is that our mission can perfectly fulfill His Excellency Dong Huang's expectations."

She stared at Dong Jun, as if she knew what he was thinking, and chuckled, "This time, it has nothing to do with Ying Zifei. Although he acted like a rogue, he has fulfilled his promise not to interfere in Jing Wei's affairs."

"Are you so sure it has nothing to do with him?" Dong Jun snorted, quite unhappy.

"Sister Dongjun, you brought too many personal emotions into it." The Moon Goddess smiled meaningfully, turned around and left, and said in a voice: "Too many personal emotions will only lead to more misjudgments."

"If that defeat has caused you to have a demon in your heart, then I am really disappointed."
