Chapter 85 Li Mu
Ying Zheng set out from Jingshui, followed the planned route of Zhengguo Canal, and walked eastward, and finally arrived at the shore of Luoshui, which is the end of Zhengguo Canal.
The Zhengguo Canal, which is more than 300 miles away, is divided into six sections, and the six sections are constructed at the same time. This construction method that seems very similar to later generations is not exclusive to later generations. After all, when it comes to the production of objects and the construction of engineering, the Qin State is unique in history.
As the host of the construction of Zhengguo Canal, Zheng Guo himself is here, responsible for the most difficult part of the six-section project.
Zheng Guo, who was not good at talking, looked at Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei and others in front of him in panic. It was not until Zheng Guo, who was at the peak of his own field, left his fear aside and became good at talking.
When Ying Zheng asked Zheng about the specific progress of the project, on the construction site in the distance, a tall man in his forties was waving the tools in his hand lightly, forming a sharp contrast with the people around him who had rested because of the King of Qin.
"Boss, the king is here, but we are allowed to rest for a while. Why do you work so hard? The king can't see it." The canal worker beside him joked.
"What does it have to do with us when the king comes?" the man said indifferently.
"Why doesn't it matter? Maybe we can see the king." The man answered.
"What?" the man asked.
"What then?"
"What about after seeing the king?" the man asked with the tool in his hand.
"Who are you Li Mu? Summoned by the King." At this moment, an eunuch appeared in front of the son and shouted loudly.
"Head, you..."
Everyone who knew the man's name was stunned, and a question appeared in their hearts at the same time: Why did the king know the head's name and even summon him.
The man jumped up from the ditch calmly, wiped his hands on his clothes randomly, and walked in one direction under the guidance of the eunuch.
The eunuch who was curious about the identity of the man looked at Li Mu from time to time, obviously he was curious about Li Mu's identity. Why did the king specially summon him for such a person?
But he followed the law of survival of the eunuch who knew more and more dangerously, and could only endure this curiosity and honestly complete his duties. As for things outside the task, he should not think about them.
When Li Mu came to the camp that should have belonged to Zheng State but had already changed his master's tent, a look of surprise appeared rarely.
"It's you?" Li Mu looked at Ying Zheng, who was above the main position and couldn't help asking.
He knew Ying Zheng in front of him.
Since Zhao Wangyan ascended the throne, he packed all his family and sent them to Qin for some reason, his former friend and acquaintance have completely lost contact with him.
If he had familiar people from all over Qin State, then the young man in front of him was the only one, although the young man was only met after he came to Qin State.
The boy in front of him had visited him, and he also admired the boy in front of him very much, and even had the idea of accepting the other party as a disciple. However, in the end, he still ignored the idea in time due to the relationship between Qin and Zhao and the other party's possible identity as a general in Qin.
"General Li, are you okay?" Ying Zheng greeted Li Mu, who seemed to be an ordinary civilian in front of him.
"I often thought before, which young man like you would be from a general in Qin State, but I never thought that you would be the King of Qin." Li Mu smiled bitterly.
"General Li calls himself the King of Qin alone, but he still hasn't forgotten his origin in Zhao State. Has three years not erased your persistence?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Memories may be forgotten as time goes by, but the blood flowing in the body cannot be abandoned. If the King of Qin wants me to serve, then he will not be able to speak out." Li Mu put away his thoughts that were circling in his heart and said calmly.
"I am not in a hurry to do this. I have enough patience for a military talent like General Li." Li Mu's rejection of Ying Zheng was not surprised. As for disappointment, there was no question.
Although there are many villains like Guo Kai in this era, there are also many gentlemen like Li Mu. How could Ying Zheng be disappointed?
Moreover, in the war to unify the six kingdoms, Ying Zheng never left a place for Li Mu. Even if he wanted to use it, he was only in the war against the outside world.
If Ying Zheng valued Li Mu too much at this time, where would he place Meng Ao, Wang Jian and others who were loyal to him?
"For the sake of acquaintance, I still have to persuade the King of Qin to give up such a thought. The King of Qin's patience will only be in vain in the end. Even if I work here for ten years, I will not be as different from the Korean surrendered soldiers. They can integrate into Qin under the means of the King of Qin. In just two or three years, I have forgotten that I was a Korean, but I can't. Even for thirty years, I will not forget my identity as a Zhao person." Li Mu replied.
At this time, he understood why he was dispatched here. Now the subordinates who built Zheng Guoqu with him were all former Korean surrenders, and the purpose of the King of Qin was nothing more than to use the environment to change himself.
This approach is extremely clever, but Li Mu is not fooled because he has also used such methods. However, when he used such methods to deal with the wolf clan, now he has just changed his roles. He has become the former wolf clan and the King of Qin has replaced him.
"I don't want to say much about this. Whether it is the Qin people or the Zhao people, it is just the present statement. Whether in the past or in the future, these are not static. Your persistence is nothing in the passage of time."
"If you think Gu summons you to attract you this time, then you would be too despised Gu and yourself. Gu is not that unwise person, and you are not a treacherous minister, either." Ying Zheng continued.
Li Mu couldn't help but feel slightly moved when he heard Ying Zheng's words. Unfortunately, he was the king of the enemy country. How great would it be if he was the king of Zhao country.
After suppressing his thoughts that he shouldn't have, Li Mu asked, "What is the purpose of the King of Qin summoning me here?"
"Gou just see if General Li is still strong and see if General Li can wait until the day when Or uses you." Ying Zheng smiled.
"The King of Qin seems to be very confident and feels that he will eventually conquer me." Li Mu's face turned a little ugly.
"If you say it wrong, Gu will know that you can use two methods to make Gu lose what he said." Ying Zheng replied.
"What two methods?" Although the positions are very different, during previous interactions, Li Mu knew that the boy in front of him was an amazing genius. What would such a person say in this situation?
"You can die now or live long enough. The former method can immediately get the result of failure, but you can't see it. As for the latter method, you need to live all the time, but you can also let you see the failure of the orphan with your own eyes. I don't know which method General Li is going to choose." Ying Zheng said inexplicably.
"I'll choose the second one." Li Mu said solemnly.
"I just know that General Li will definitely choose the second one." Ying Zheng said.
Amid Li Mu's hesitation, Ying Zheng said again:
"The way of death is too incompetent, and how could a person like General Li use such incompetent methods?"
Ying Zheng's words made Li Mu let go of his frowning brows, because Ying Zheng's words not only spoke to his heart, but also relieved his last trace of hesitation.
"So, if General Li wants to win, he should live well and live longer."
