"Likewise, your position as Chancellor is secure; as long as I remain on the throne for a single day, no one can touch your position as Chancellor!"

Ying Su said with a smile.

Although Li Si said on his lips that he dared not, his heart was overjoyed!

To be so highly valued by Ying Su and to hear him say these words is a very happy thing!

Before long, Ying Su brought Li Si to Zhang Liang's room.

Seeing Ying Su arrive, Zhang Liang bowed without the slightest hesitation!

At this very moment, looking at Ying Su, he still carried a trace of fear and dread!

Ying Su was not at all polite with Zhang Liang; he got straight to the point and spoke directly:

"I will not kill you; even if I do not say the reason why I highly value you, you should know it!"

"I want you to offer strategies and plans; I want you to point out a true path to a strong nation for my Great Qin!"

"My Great Qin must become prosperous; it must become incomparably powerful!"

"At the very least, it must not be weaker than the period of Zhou Gongdan!"

"If you can point out such a path, I will not only spare Han Wang An, but I will also release you; even after you leave Outside Xianyanggong and continue to oppose Qin, I will not arrest you!"

"Because... I have confidence; my 3.2 Great Qin cannot be overthrown by just any random dog or cat!"

"Begin!"

After Ying Su finished speaking, he directly sat down with Li Si!

And upon hearing these words, Zhang Liang was shocked!

Shocked until his scalp tingled!

He had guessed that Ying Su captured him to make great use of him, and to appreciate his talent!

Otherwise, he would not have spent a hundred thousand gold to capture him.

But... what he did not expect was that Ying Su actually wanted him to point out a path to a strong nation.

Moreover, he wanted him, a person opposing Qin, to point out a path to a strong nation for Great Qin!

These words simply made Zhang Liang feel shocked.

At that moment, even he could not help but look at Ying Su, and could not help but sigh: just how broad a mind does this Ying Su have!

Especially his words about letting me continue to oppose Qin; even if I continue to oppose Qin, he will not arrest me!

Great Qin cannot be overthrown by just any random dog or cat!

Just this sentence truly shows great vision and great boldness!

At that moment, Zhang Liang involuntarily began to admire Ying Su.

But... wanting him to point out a path to a strong nation for Great Qin, for a moment, he did not know where to begin!

After pondering for a long time, he bowed respectfully to Ying Su:

"Your Majesty, grant me two days; let me think carefully; I must organize my thoughts and speak out all of Great Qin's strengths and weaknesses, as well as the crises it faces, and so on!"

"After two days, Zhang Liang will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty!"

After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Ying Su once more!

And Ying Su did not make things difficult for him; instead, he nodded and left with Li Si!

And watching Ying Su's back, Zhang Liang's thoughts flew; at that moment, he was still shocked.

But at the same time, he could not help but ponder the path to a strong nation for Great Qin.

But outside the room, just at the moment Ying Su and Li Si had just come out, suddenly, an uninvited guest arrived!

Zhao Gao!

He first bowed respectfully to Ying Su, and then bowed to Li Si:

"My lord Chancellor, the First Emperor requests your presence!"

047. Seeing Ying Zheng's Anger: If this rebellious son of Great Qin can rebel, why can't I?

"What?"

"The First Emperor requests my presence?"

The moment the words left his mouth, instantly, Li Si's hair stood on end.

He looked at Zhao Gao with extreme fear!

Finally, he looked over at Ying Su, as if seeking help.

But... before Ying Su could make a move, he instantly said to Zhao Gao:

"Very well!"

After speaking, he bowed deeply to Ying Su again: "Your Majesty! Then I... am going!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ying Su for a long time!

"Mm!"

Ying Su nodded, did not stop anything, and likewise did not say anything.

It was not that he did not want to stop him, but that he could not stop him!

This logic was understood not only by himself, but Li Si understood it as well!

Therefore, after Li Si first looked at him with a pleading glance, he immediately said yes to Zhao Gao!

At first, he panicked, and his first thought was to hide from it!

Later, he realized it!

This kind of thing cannot be hidden from!

If it cannot be hidden from, then face it directly!

Outside Xianyanggong, in the gardens!

At this very moment, Li has arrived here!

And the instant he reached this place, he immediately bowed his head in greeting:

"Li Si, prostrating before the First Emperor!"

Ying Zheng looked over at Li Si:

"Li Si, Left Chancellor of Great Qin, have you been living quite comfortably these days!"

He asked with a smile, and at that moment, boundless killing intent filled his eyes!

He would not forget that the twenty million coins of Ying Su were sold with the help of Li Si.

And precisely because of those twenty million coins, Ying Su was able to raise an army of fifty thousand men!

If at the very beginning, he still suspected Li Si was merely a fence-sitter, like everyone else, leaning whichever way the wind blew!

The reason for this was simply that Ying Su had threatened him with Li Yuanba!

But... selling twenty million coins in a month, could this still be considered being threatened?

This was absolutely loyalty!

Working his life away for Ying Su!

Striving with his life to build Ying Su's family fortune.

And his loyalty to Ying Su was equivalent to betrayal against himself!

At that moment, boundless cold light flashed in his eyes!

And facing Ying Zheng's question, Li Si did not delay even an instant, but immediately prostrated himself:

"Your subject... has been living quite comfortably!"

"What?"

The moment the words left his lips, Ying Zheng was stunned!

He looked at Li Si with a face full of disbelief, somewhat shocked, but equally filled with boundless rage!

This... is this still that Li Si?

Is this still that Li Si who only knew how to flatter himself, only knew how to please himself, who between fat meat and lean meat, decisively chose to eat the fat meat himself and leave the lean meat for himself?

At this moment, he did not immediately come to beg for forgiveness, but instead learned to talk back?

"Good!"

"Very good!"

Ying Zheng nodded; at this moment, he was both furious and hateful!

He looked at Li Si for a long time, his voice icy cold as he said, "Daring to speak to me like this, it seems you are determined to remain loyal to that rebellious son!"

Li Si bowed deeply to Ying Zheng: "Your subject Li Si is loyal only to Great Qin!"
