Chapter 100

"Where is the letter?" Ying Zheng asked Wang Xuan Jian.

Wang Xuan Jian immediately took a letter from his person.

Ever since he received this letter, he had carried it with him.

Ying Zheng took the letter handed over by Wang Xuan Jian, and after seeing the content, his expression changed again and again.

He was very familiar with the handwriting on the letter; it was indeed the handwriting of his Father-Chancellor, Lu Lu Buwei.

The entire letter, although it did not directly order Wang Xuan Jian to kill him, gave hints.

"Why go to such lengths, why go to such lengths!"

Earlier, when Wang Xuan Jian intended to commit suicide to atone for his sins, Ying Zheng had said "why go to such lengths," and now, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself, repeating these four words again.

After the initial confusion, incomprehension, and anger, finally, Ying Zheng gradually firmed his belief.

"Since it is so, Father-Chancellor, then let us see who can stand until the end!"

The assassination by the Net in Xinzheng was one time, this was another; things should not happen three times.

If there is a third time.

Then do not blame him for disregarding the affection of these years.

Ying Zheng chatted with Wang Xuan Jian for a long time.

He finally understood why Wang Xuan Jian had chosen to commit suicide earlier.

The reason was that he was worried that revealing the truth would lead to a conflict between him and Lu Lu Buwei, bringing greater impact to Qin.

Because in his view, Lu Lu Buwei might be somewhat dissatisfied with the Qin Wang, but he didn’t directly order him to kill the Qin Wang in the letter. Moreover, according to the timeline, by the time the Qin Wang returned to the country this time, he would be able to hold the capping ceremony and take power.

At that time, Lu Lu Buwei would return power to the Qin Wang.

The Qin Wang would not know about those hidden circumstances and would not turn against Lu Lu Buwei.

The relationship between the two could still be restored as before, supporting each other in the name of ruler and subject, and creating a great cause together.

Until he learned from Ying Zheng that he had encountered an assassination attempt by the Net when he was in the State of Han, Wang Xuan Jian finally realized that things were not that simple.

After clarifying the cause of the matter, Ying Zheng was not angry because Wang Xuan Jian intended to harm him.

In the final analysis, Wang Xuan Jian did this for the sake of Qin.

He treated Wang Xuan Jian with increasing courtesy, and seeing this, Wang Xuan Jian felt increasingly ashamed in his heart.

The relationship between the two warmed up rapidly in a short period of time.

When they walked out of the tent together, they found countless soldiers tightly surrounding the tent, looking anxious.

"What is this?"

Wang Xuan Jian raised his eyebrows, somewhat puzzled.

Su Xuan walked over slowly and waved his hand. In an instant, the fierce wind that had been lingering around the tent and blocking the steps of the many soldiers disappeared.

Realizing this, many soldiers stepped forward. A lieutenant hurriedly asked Wang Xuan Jian: "General, are you unharmed?"

Wang Xuan Jian heard the worry in their words and shook his head gently: "Soldiers, do not worry, the General is unharmed."

"The General wants to introduce someone to everyone!"

As he spoke, he took the initiative to step aside and said to the many soldiers surrounding them: "This is the current King, the King of our Qin!"

Hearing this, many soldiers were stunned, their faces showing shock.

Meng Tian, who was mixed in the crowd, had thought that the meeting between the King and General Wang Xuan Jian would be a scene of swords drawn and bows bent, but the current scene was beyond his expectations.

When General Wang Xuan Jian introduced the King, it seemed to be in a tone of pride.

Proud that Qin had such a King.

After introducing Ying Zheng’s identity to the surrounding soldiers, Wang Xuan Jian said to Ying Zheng: "Since the King has arrived in the army, are you interested in accompanying me to the platform to review the troops and see the majesty of our Great Qin soldiers?"

Ying Zheng said happily: "How could I miss such an opportunity!"

Thus, under Wang Xuan Jian’s arrangement, many lieutenants received orders and went to prepare.

The next day, Ying Zheng accompanied Wang Xuan Jian to the platform to review the troops and see the style of the Great Qin soldiers.

The result was very shocking to Ying Zheng.

Although he knew that the Great Qin soldiers were very powerful and could be said to shake the world—otherwise, they could not have suppressed the six states—before this, he had always grown up in the palace. Even if he knew the world situation, how could it compare to the shock of seeing it with his own eyes?

This experience was destined to be unforgettable for Ying Zheng.

However, he also knew that it had been a long time since he left the palace, and it was time to leave.

He stayed in the military camp for a few more days.

Finally, the diplomatic mission led by Li Si officially left the Wusui border and headed toward Xianyang.

In a dense forest.

While Ying Zheng and the others were returning to Xianyang.

A man wearing a bronze mask, dressed in armor, and holding a wide-bladed sword stood quietly.

The sound of breaking air sounded behind him.

"Did you succeed?"

The man asked the person behind him.

"Wang Xuan Jian changed his mind and did not make a move against him!"

The person behind him lowered his head and recounted what had happened in the military camp.

Upon learning that Wang Xuan Jian had not made a move against that person, but on the contrary, had taken the initiative to reveal that person’s identity in front of many soldiers and invited that person to the platform to review the troops, the man wearing the mask looked slightly gloomy under the mask.

"I underestimated Wang Xuan Jian!"

After the death of the Lord of Lord Wuan, Bai Qi, the dissatisfaction accumulated over so many years, if used properly, would have been an unprecedented sharp blade. As a result, Wang Xuan Jian had forcefully endured this hatred, preventing it from erupting.

Combined with his final behavior, it was clear he had given up on revenge.

Such a decision made the man admire him.

But this did not move the man.

In the final analysis, it was because Ying Zheng had left the palace privately, and such a good opportunity was really hard to give up!

Especially since that person had also chosen to make a move.

If he didn’t follow up and make a move, he would really feel a bit sorry.

After all, he was a former superior, and the person the other party sent to carry out the mission had already failed. Out of reason and emotion, he had to help his old superior check for omissions and fill the gaps, completing this mission.

As for after completion, the crime of regicide would, of course, be borne by the old superior.

"Notify Duanshui and let him make a move. He must kill that person before he reaches Xianyang!"

The man wearing the mask said angrily to the person behind him again.

"Yes!"

The man with his head lowered received the order, and his figure flashed away, leaving this place.

The sunlight spilled down, reflecting on his departing back, and one could clearly see a large spider crouching on a spider web.

The carriage swayed.

Since leaving Wusui, Ying Zheng’s mood had become better and better.

Although he knew some hidden circumstances from Wang Xuan Jian’s mouth, combined with his personal experience in Xinzheng, he knew that there were very deep undercurrents hidden within Qin. However, after reviewing the majesty of the Qin soldiers and getting some promises from Wang Xuan Jian.

Even if the road ahead was difficult, he was full of confidence.

In the carriage, Ying Zheng bowed to Su Xuan again: "Mr. Su, that day in the military camp, if it weren’t for you..."

Su Xuan said lightly: "If the Qin Wang wants to thank me, then forget it. I only hope the Qin Wang remembers the deal between us!"

The word "deal" didn’t sound very good, but it was very realistic.

Ying Zheng nodded, indicating he remembered.

What Su Xuan sought was the position of State Preceptor.

If at the beginning, he still had some hesitation about whether to promise Su Xuan the position of State Preceptor, then after experiencing so many things, especially in the military camp, because of Su Xuan, he and General Wang Xuan Jian had cleared up their past grievances and even gained a strong reinforcement, his gratitude toward Su Xuan was even more difficult to describe in words.

Su Xuan still wanted to say something, but at this moment, feeling something, he said in a deep voice: "Stop the carriage!"

Ying Zheng was stunned, and Gai Nie also became alert immediately.
