Chapter 373

Ying Zheng's complexion changed slightly.

The anger in his heart seemed to have subsided a little.

"I ask Your Majesty to punish me; this matter is my son's fault, he must be punished."

"My Wang family's sons must be punished if they are at fault."

Wang Jian said to Ying Zheng in a deep voice, his eyes filled with firmness.

The group of military officers following behind Wang Jian also knelt on the ground one after another.

Although they did not know why Wang Jian wanted to request that His Majesty punish the young general.

But they were clear about one point.

Old General Wang would definitely not harm the young general.

This move was a retreat to advance.

"Let's wait until he returns before speaking."

With the person involved not here, Ying Zheng naturally found it difficult to impose a punishment.

If Wang Ben had truly died on the battlefield, this account would naturally be tallied against Wang Jian.

But there was no accurate news reported back.

This meant that Wang Ben's life or death was still unknown.

"Your Majesty, this subject requests to take command and march out to eradicate these Great Chu remnants."

Subsequently, Wang Jian spoke again.

His speaking this time caused the civil and military officials below to fall into shock one after another.

"Old General Wang, this must not be."

The people around tried to dissuade him one after another.

But Wang Jian's meaning was very firm.

· ·····Requesting flowers· ··

"Since His Majesty entrusted this matter to our Wang family."

"Our Wang family must give His Majesty a satisfactory account; I ask Your Majesty to give me this opportunity."

"Although I am old, I can still go to the battlefield."

Wang Jian ignored the civil and military officials dissuading him behind him and looked firmly at Ying Zheng.

"Old General Wang, your body is aged, I am truly somewhat worried," Ying Zheng said.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty; although I am old, I can still take command and march out."

"Let this old bag of bones of mine contribute one more effort for Great Qin."

After Wang Jian finished saying these words, Ying Zheng's expression softened a lot.

Wang Jian had been by Ying Zheng's side even before he unified the six states.

The merits he had established over these years could be described as numerous.

As generals, most died on the battlefield.

Those who could enjoy their twilight years at home could already be considered decent generals.

Wang Jian's age could be considered long-lived among generals.

The merits he established could allow the Wang family to flourish for a long time under his shade.

Unfortunately,

If it weren't for Young General Wang, Old General Wang would not have appeared on the battlefield again at this age.

"Since Old General Wang has made up his mind, then you shall continue to take over this matter."

"As for the punishment for Wang Ben, let's talk about it after everything is over."

Ying Zheng pondered for a long time before speaking.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wang Jian immediately bowed respectfully.

Fusu, who had been standing to the side, suddenly spoke at this moment.

"Father, this son wishes to go to the battlefield with Old General Wang."

Fusu's eyes looked toward Ying Zheng.

He wanted to go to the battlefield to temper himself.

Hu Hai, who had been standing there feeling somewhat bored,

Upon hearing Fusu's words, his expression immediately changed, and he spoke without even thinking.

"Father, this son also wishes to go."

Although he did not know why Fusu wanted to go to the battlefield, he absolutely could not fall behind in anything Fusu wanted to do.

Regarding the words of the two princes, Wang Jian did not speak.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Ying Zheng; only if Ying Zheng nodded could they appear on the battlefield.

However, the civil and military officials did not think highly of these two princes.

Whether it was Fusu or Hu Hai, their martial arts were not very strong.
