Chapter 57: The Aftermath
Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong came to the front hall together and met Li Mu and Zhao Xuan.
After the two sides saluted, Li Mu said: "Your complexion looks good, are your injuries healed?" ”
Gao Yuan nodded and said, "With General Lao Da worried, I have nothing to do." ”
Zhao Xuan said: "With your injury, you should lie in bed for at least half a month before you can get up, no month is not better, how can it be that it can be fully healed in only two days?" ”
Gao Yuan didn't hide it from them, so he told the talisman again, fortunately, Li Mu and Zhao Xuan had also heard Gao Yuan say before, that time he broke out in the encirclement of the Qin army, and it was the effect of this amulet that provided him with great strength, so he didn't feel any surprise. Although Zhao Xuan was still a little haunted by the last time, he couldn't see anything special about this talisman.
Li Mu smiled and said, "It seems that this talisman of yours is a treasure." Sure enough, it is worthy of the star coming to the world. ”
Zhao Xuan said: "If it wasn't the talisman that brought you strength this time, then how did you defeat that big man, I have seen his corpse, there are many scars, it seems that the two of you are both defeated." ”
Gao Yuan then told him about the battle with Li Bo. Because this battle is his personal experience, it is indeed dangerous, and the plateau's ability to express itself is also quite strong, so it is also said that it is ups and downs, thrilling, although he knows that it is the plateau that will eventually take over, but when it comes to the critical moment, Li Yinghong has heard it several times, and he doesn't even feel that he grabbed the hand of the plateau. And Li Mu was also a little moved, and after Gao Yuan finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Xuan also nodded, and said: "In this way, that Li Bo's strength is far above you, but in the end, you can still defeat him and kill him, although there is a certain element of luck, but the main thing is that you fight hard and fully seize every opportunity. ”
Gao Yuan said: "General Zhao is too talkative, in fact, I did win this battle very lucky, and after this battle, I also found that my strength is still very insufficient, so I have to practice hard, after all, whether it is on the battlefield, or the competition between individuals, it is based on strength, this time I can rely on tactics and luck to win, but next time I am afraid there will be no such good luck, so I must improve my personal strength, and I hope General Zhao can give me some guidance." ”
Zhao Xuan nodded and said, "As long as you want, you can come to me at any time." ”
At this time, Gao Yuan asked again: "What happened later?" I remember that Zhao Yang was in that martial arts hall at that time, and he also blocked the door of the martial arts hall to prevent you from entering. ”
Li Yinghong said: "What else can I do? Xiao Huan'er found it from that martial arts hall, and Zhao Yang must not be able to get out of it, so as soon as you come out, I will order the soldiers to attack, and if Zhao Yang resists, he will be killed. But the boy was a coward at all, and when he saw that I was coming, he was so frightened that he immediately surrendered, and said that he would go to the king to argue. If General Zhao hadn't stopped me, I would have killed him with a sword. ”
Li Mu smiled: "You are an anxious child, when will you get rid of it, fortunately you didn't kill him, otherwise things would be difficult to clean up." ”
Li Yinghong was also a little puzzled, and said: "What's not easy to clean up, now the matter is very clear, this martial arts hall must be related to Zhao Yang, and the matter of arresting Huan'er must be Zhao Yang instructed this martial arts hall to do it, so that he can be a good person, return Huan'er to Sister Wenqing, or use Huan'er to threaten Sister Wenqing, so even in front of the king, Zhao Yang must be inseparable, if the king doesn't deal with Zhao Yang this time, I will be the first to disagree." ”
But Gao Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "So what did Zhao Yang say?" ”
Zhao Xuan said: "According to Zhao Yang, he had no contact with the martial arts hall, this time it was just one of his disciples who reported to him that this martial arts hall had found Huan'er, so he went to this martial arts hall, just wanted to pick up Huan'er and then return it to Wenqing, but unfortunately met Yinghong there." ”
Li Yinghong said: "He pushed it all away, if he told him, then why did he block the gate of the Dawu Pavilion at that time and not let us go in to search, so this matter must have something to do with him." ”
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Yinghong, you take this matter too simply. ”
At this time, Gao Yuan also said: "What the general said is right, I think there must be another article here, I'm afraid that Zhao Yang was also calculated by others this time, and he carried the black pot." ”
Li Mu said: "Gao Yuan, how do you judge that there is another article here." ”
Gao Yuan said: "At that time, the samurai who fought with us inside were all skilled in swordsmanship, and the master of the martial arts hall said that such a swordsman, even in his martial arts hall, could not find a dozen of them, and Ye Wuyue and Li Bo were even the masters of the masters, such a force, I am afraid it is not Zhao Yang, and even Zhao Cong can control it." And judging from Ye Wuyue and Li Bo's words, they didn't mention Zhao Yang at all, and their actions didn't take Zhao Yang's situation into account, so it also gives me the feeling that they didn't take Zhao Yang to heart at all. ”
Li Mu also nodded, and said: "Yes, among the martial arts hall personnel we captured later, there was not a single group of warriors who fought with you, and let the disciples in the martial arts hall identify the corpses, but none of them knew them, which also shows that the group of warriors who fought with you were not from this martial arts hall at all." Or rather, there are actually a group of masters hidden in this martial arts hall that others don't know. In addition, according to the people in the martial arts hall, they had indeed never seen Zhao Yang come to the martial arts hall before. ”
Gao Yuan said: "Then what about informing Zhao Yang that Huan'er is in that martial arts hall?" Did you catch him? ”
Li Mu shook his head and said, "No, this doorman has disappeared, and even Zhao Yang doesn't know where he has gone." ”
Gao Yuan nodded and said, "In this way, Zhao Yang really should have nothing to do with the arrest of Huan'er, I'm afraid he was also set up, and he fell into this trap in a daze." ”
After listening to the division of the plateau and these facts, Li Yinghong also understood a little that there were indeed a lot of problems in this, but there were also some puzzles, and said: "Then who did the thing that arrested Huan'er, and why did they set Zhao Yang up?" ”
Gao Yuan said: "First of all, to answer the latter question, the reason for Zhao Yang is probably to make the general and Zhao Cong completely opposed." ”
Li Mu also smiled bitterly, nodded, and said: "There was already some misunderstanding between me and Zhao Cong, and if this incident happened, Zhao Cong would definitely be angry with me, so I'm afraid I will have a hard time arguing." ”
In fact, there is no misunderstanding between Li Mu and Zhao Cong, because from the system, Zhao Cong is the number one person in the Zhao military, and Li Mu is only his subordinate, but now the military power of Zhao is almost all in Li Mu's hands, so Li Mu is the number one person in the actual sense of the Zhao military. And with such a relationship, it is difficult to think of conflicts between two people. It's just that in the past few years, Zhao State has been in a state of war with Qin State, and Zhao Cong also knows that only Li Mu is the only one who can resist the Qin army in the entire Zhao State, so the current contradiction between the two has not intensified.
But after this incident, the situation was different. Although Lin Wenchun is just a woman, she is a famous minister of Zhao State, and she is a wealthy man in Handan, and her relationship with the military is also very deep. Therefore, whether this matter was done by Zhao Yang or not, but he has been implicated, I am afraid that it is difficult to argue, and he will definitely not be able to get out of it.
And Zhao Cong at least has the fault of not being strict with his children, even if he is not severely punished, but the position of this big Sima will definitely not be kept. And the only one who can replace Da Sima is Li Mu, this time Zhao Cong lost Da Sima, he will definitely hate Li Mu, maybe he will think that this is a trap deliberately set by Li Mu. Two people already have contradictions that are difficult to reconcile, so they will definitely have bad friends in the future.
Li Mu and Zhao Cong are currently the two important ministers of the Zhao State's military, and if the two have a bad relationship, it will only weaken the strength of the Zhao State. Therefore, behind this whole thing, what kind of conspiracy is hidden, it is about to come out.
Gao Yuan said: "It seems that this whole thing should be done by Qin Guo." ”
Li Mu also nodded, and said: "Except for the Qin State, I can't think of what kind of force will do it, the Qin State is good at using the space, and there are also a large number of spies lurking in the Zhao State, and only the Qin State has such a strength, and has collected so many swordsmanship." ”
Gao Yuan was also silent for a while, and said, "What does the general think should be done now?" ”
Li Mu also smiled bitterly and said: "I can't do anything, now the call for the court to severely punish Zhao Yang is very high, and that group of swordsmen either disappeared without a trace, or they died without proof, and they couldn't exonerate Zhao Yang, and the other point is that Wen Qing's attitude is also very persistent now, and I can't come forward, so I can only wait and see what happens." After a pause, he said: "In a few days, Wenqing should come to see you and express my gratitude to you, you can help me persuade her, you rescued Huan'er with your own hands, I think what you say, she should listen." ”
Gao Yuan said: "Don't worry, general, if Mrs. Wenqing comes, I will definitely try my best to persuade her." But the general should also be careful, this time Qin Guo just made a move on Huan'er, so next time maybe he will attack the general, this group of personnel is full of swordsmanship, the girl named Ye Wuyue is even more master, and they have all been hidden, there must be another hiding place, the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, so the general can't be careless. ”
Zhao Xuan said: "Don't worry, with me by the general's side, no one will hurt the general." ”
