Chapter 306: Staff-Breaking Divine Travel, Night-Roaming Murder!

After dismissing the old servant.

Li Mu opened the gift box and discovered that inside the exquisite box, there was actually a walking stick.

"Interesting!"

A smile curled at the corners of Li Mu's mouth; he had not expected someone to send him such a gift.

Although he was getting on in years, he could still draw a heavy bow and tame a fierce horse; he had no need for such a thing as a walking stick.

Could it be that someone hoped he would grow old quickly and use this stick?

Li Mu picked up the stick from the box and tested it; it was actually quite useful.

After testing it, he put it back into the box. Although it was useful, as he said before, he had no need for it for the time being.

Compared to this gift, he thought of another matter and could not help but feel worried.

Zhao Qian was usually dissolute and had a notorious reputation. Now that the King of Zhao had passed away, such a person was about to ascend the throne; could he really govern Zhao Guo well? Especially since the current Qin Guo had already revealed its ambition.

The State of Han had already been destroyed.

Previously, the King had ordered Wang Xuan Jian to attack Zhao; there was no doubt that Qin Guo's next target was Zhao Guo. Could Zhao Guo withstand Qin Guo's attack?

Zhao Guo bordered Qin Guo and kept a close eye on the movements there. Last year, although Qin Guo did not wage war, Zhao Guo was aware of some basic conditions within the country. For example, Qin Guo vigorously promoted new farming tools, and whether in the lands of Qin or the occupied lands of Han, they had all ushered in a bumper harvest.

Although the old lands of Han had only been under their control for a year, the people there unexpectedly showed no resistance to Qin Guo, nor did any rebellion occur.

This meant that Qin Guo had no internal troubles and could focus all its energy on the remaining five states of Shandong.

Qin Guo was already powerful, and now, with sufficient grain and no internal troubles, this was not good news for the five states of Shandong.

If the five states were to form an alliance, they might be able to contend with Qin Guo, but the key was that some people could not see the reality. The King of Qi went to Qin Guo in person to befriend them, and Yan sent the Crown Prince to Qin Guo as a hostage.

These two states clearly believed that they were far away from Qin Guo and that Qin Guo could not threaten them.

In the blink of an eye, night fell.

A bright moon hung in the sky, and the moonlight, like light gauze, shrouded the land of the Nine Provinces.

In Li Mu's residence, the walking stick he had placed in the gift box suddenly flew out.

In the faint blur, a vague figure flashed past within the walking stick; it was none other than Su Xuan.
