Chapter 578

"Lord, I don't know what Zhao Yun should do?" Zhao Yun looked at the people who had been summoned and all had their own things to do, while only he had been left unarranged for a long time.

He couldn't help but panic a little.

"Hmm? You, you just stay by my side and be my personal bodyguard."

Qin Mu looked at this somewhat handsome Zhao Yun and said.

Zhao Yun's strength also seemed quite good, and it just so happened that he didn't have any capable people with high martial arts by his side.

Now, every time Qin Mu went out, he had Guo Jia for civil matters and Zhao Yun for martial matters—one with a free-spirited temperament, one with a firm and cold temperament.

This undoubtedly made Qin Mu's status soar.

"Guo Jia, I'm preparing to expand the army. I don't know what you think?" Qin Mu asked Guo Jia, who was by his side.

They were strolling outside the city at this time. Guo Jia knew why his Lord was determined to expand the army.

Qin Shi Huang's time was running out, and their time naturally wouldn't be very abundant. Once the Qin Emperor died, the world would probably fall into chaos.

"There's no rush for expanding the army. Haven't Liu Bei and Tang Jian Yong already gone to Xianyang? It won't be too late to expand the army after they find an iron channel."

"Of course, one can also start organizing a new army and begin training now, but I'm afraid no one is qualified to be an instructor," Guo Jia said somewhat tactfully.

Clearly, he didn't favor expanding the army. After all, their grain was all purchased from outside, and so were their weapons and armor.

Not a single iron mine had been seen in the entire Bashu; they were completely unable to be self-sufficient. 803 meant that besides having money, they had nothing.

However, once the world fell into chaos, I'm afraid that if this money couldn't be exchanged for grain and weapons, it would be useless.

Qin Mu glanced at Guo Jia and then said.

"I know what you're worried about, but I'm afraid you won't need to worry for long. Look at our feet."

Unknowingly, they had arrived at the location of that super iron mine. Only then did Guo Jia discover that the stones under his feet had unknowingly become much harder.

And Zhao Yun, looking at the pitch-black stones, directly took down the long spear on his back and stabbed it at the stone.

With a 'clang', the powerful counter-shock force almost made Zhao Yun unable to hold onto his spear.

"This is iron!" Guo Jia's entire voice sounded a bit trembling.

It was his first time seeing iron exposed on the surface!

One could imagine just how rich this iron mine would be!

"Hahaha, Fengxiao, it looks Wu Li Ke the problem you were worried about has already been solved," Qin Mu smiled. He was very satisfied with the shocked expressions of the two.

"Later, go back and have someone record this place and send troops to guard it.

Go back and prepare to expand by five hundred thousand new troops. Let them station here, divided into two teams (cjfa): one team to mine, one team to train, rotating once a month." Just as Guo Jia was about to speak, Qin Mu raised his hand to indicate he hadn't finished speaking.

"I know you want to talk about money and grain. When Tang Jian Yong returns, you will find that there is no need to worry about money at all. As for grain, there is no need to worry about that either. Wait for Lu Bu's good news!"

Guo Jia sighed. As ministers, since the Lord had already made up his mind, then only by fully supporting him could one be a qualified subordinate.

At the same time, Xianyang.

Relying on the money Qin Mu gave him, Liu Bei successfully integrated into the noble circle in Xianyang.

He even became friends with Li Si, feeling as if they had met too late!

It just so happened that on this day, it was Li Si's birthday, and he invited all the ministers. As Li Si's friend, Liu Bei of course went too.

What Liu Bei didn't expect was that Qin Shi Huang had actually come too!

And Ying Zheng was stunned when he saw Liu Bei sitting next to Li Si.

This person looked quite kind and felt as if he could bring good luck to people.

"What is your name? Why are you sitting next to Li Si?" Ying Zheng looked at Liu Bei and asked curiously.

Liu Bei was just about to stand up, but who knew he was pressed down by Li Si.

Li Si hurriedly stood up and said.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this person is my friend, a commoner. I hope Your Majesty will not blame him," Li Si said, bending over.

Only then did Liu Bei remember that his identity was just a commoner, at most just a guest of Li Si.

He probably didn't have the qualifications to talk directly to Qin Shi Huang. Li Si was doing this to save him!

"Oh? Never mind. I'll just see how your body is; I've been feeling a bit tired recently."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he covered his head and left. Liu Bei knew that he was probably already terminally ill!

After Ying Zheng left, Liu Bei asked in Li Si's ear.

"Didn't they say recently that Your Majesty was going on an inspection tour? He looks a bit..."

"Shh, this matter can only be known by you and me; absolutely do not tell a third person.

His Majesty's body is getting worse and worse. He probably knows he can't make it, so he is preparing to lure out all those rebellious officials and thieves at the end.

Then wipe them all out in one net. And His Majesty will still stay in Xianyang; the one going on the inspection tour will be the Great Qin general Meng Tian!"

After the banquet, Liu Bei hurriedly ordered someone to send this news back to Bashu.

And the person who delivered the news was a Jianghu master he had recently won over—Wei Zhuang!

One of the successors of Guiguzi!

His strength was very strong, and he could even exchange a few moves with Lu Bu.

Liu Bei had also seen Lu Bu and knew what his goal was.

That was to track down Xu Fu and find an opportunity to kidnap Xu Fu back to Bashu.

However, it's a pity that Xu Fu was very vigilant, especially since there were countless Qin soldiers guarding the place where he lived.

To take him away, I'm afraid it would be impossible without hundreds of Jianghu masters with strange abilities.

However, Lu Bu, under the persuasion of Liu Bei, Tang Jian Yong, and others, still sent the news about Xu Fu back to Bashu.

In fact, Lu Bu wanted to tell Qin Mu after he had completely captured Xu Fu, but he didn't expect Xu Fu to be so difficult to capture.

Another period of time passed, and Qin Mu received the news sent from Xianyang.

At the same time, he also received news that many capable people in the Jianghu were preparing to assassinate the Qin Emperor during his inspection tour!

Qin Mu didn't plan to join in the fun, but thinking that there would probably be many talents at that time, it would be a pity for them to be killed just Wu Li Ke that.

Why not come to my Bashu to contribute?

Thus, Qin Mu set off with Zhao Yun, Wei Zhuang, five hundred Trap Camp soldiers, and five hundred Wei Infantry.

All of them were riding horses. It's a pity that the three-piece set of divine artifacts Wu Li Ke horseshoes hadn't been made yet.

This thing looked simple, but when he tried to make it himself, it was particularly difficult. Even after describing it to the craftsmen for a long time, the craftsmen couldn't understand it. It might also be that the craftsmen in Bashu were truly a bit weak.

In the end, Qin Mu gave up, preparing to wait for the check-in system to issue this black technology, or find stronger craftsmen.

And this time would be an opportunity. It is said that the Mohists would also participate in this operation.

When he first learned that there were Mohists and Wei Zhuang, Qin Mu felt a bit bad.

He was particularly worried that he had traveled to the place of 'The Legend of Qin'. Fortunately, it wasn't.

After all, Xiang Yu in 'The Legend of Qin' wasn't ugly, and he wouldn't be that kind of personality.

When he learned that Wei Zhuang was just a wandering knight and didn't have any Quicksand organization, Qin Mu felt relieved.

Because of this, Qin Mu wanted to see what kind of people those so-called Mohists were.

Would there really be a Mohist Grandmaster, Mo Mei, and so on?
