Chapter 158

~5 min read 906 words

Seeing Ying Zheng learned the reason and could not help but feel somewhat depressed.

The one who ordered Bai Qi to commit suicide was his great-grandfather, King King Zhaowang. If Wang Yi wanted to hate, he should hate King King Zhaowang. Why hate him?

As for why he didn't hate his grandfather and father, well, these two reigned for too short a time, adding up to only a few years.

On the contrary, since he ascended the throne until now, although he had not yet taken personal control of the government, the time he had been on the throne already exceeded the time his grandfather and father added together.

"I am afraid it is more than that."

Su Xuan continued, "In the time of Bai Qi, the Qin Guo awed the world. It can be said that the six states of the world today had all been attacked by Bai Qi, and the soldiers of the six states who died directly or indirectly at Bai Qi's hands numbered as many as one million."

"After Bai Qi died, although Wang Yi was reused by the Qin Guo, he first failed to attack Handan, and the Qin army he commanded was surrounded by Lord Chunshen of the State of Chu and Lord Xinling of the State of Wei, and the Qin army suffered heavy casualties."

"He also led the army to meet the five-state alliance army commanded by Lord Xinling, and was defeated and fled... After that, although the army he commanded also achieved some results, it was ultimately not as good as in the time of Bai Qi."

"At this time, although the Qin Guo was still the strongest country in the world, it suffered setbacks several times in war, each time suffering heavy casualties. For an old man like Wang Yi who had followed Bai Qi to win many wars, this was an unacceptable thing."

"Every failure in war would make him think of Bai Qi in the past, and then, his hatred for the King of Qin would deepen by a few points."

"Especially after the King of Qin ascended the throne, although it was because he had not yet completed his coming-of-age ceremony and had not yet taken personal control of the government, Wang Yi did not care about these. He would only attribute the failure of the war to the incompetence of the King of Qin."

"A year ago, Lord Chang'an, Cheng Jiao, as the biological younger brother of the King of Qin, still chose to rebel. This shows that even the King of Qin's younger brother had lost confidence in the King of Qin, let alone an old general like Wang Yi who already harbored complaints against the King of Qin."

Su Xuan seemed to be a roundworm in Wang Yi's stomach, explaining Wang Yi's thoughts and his motivation for wanting to harm Seeing Ying Zheng in detail.

Hearing these words from Su Xuan, especially mentioning Cheng Jiao who rebelled a year ago, Seeing Ying Zheng's expression became very ugly.

The Cheng Jiao rebellion was his heart knot and something he could not accept.

Just as Su Xuan said, even his younger brother had lost confidence in him and chose to rebel, let alone others.

But immediately after, he thought of his inner ambitions again.

No matter how difficult the road ahead was, he would not give up his inner ambitions.

Gradually, Seeing Ying Zheng made a decision.

"Mr. Su, I want to go and see the old General Wang!"

In the final analysis, the reason why Wang Yi chose to betray and tried to harm him was because he had lost confidence in the King of Qin.

Attributing the failure of the Qin war to the incompetence of the King of Qin.

And excluding his complaints about the King of Qin, at least, he was a loyal minister to the Qin Guo, wholeheartedly.

Therefore, Seeing Ying Zheng decided to meet Wang Yi face-to-face and let this old General Wang understand one thing.

That was that he, Seeing Ying Zheng, was not a waste. He would let Wang Yi see a Qin Guo that was even more powerful than in the time of King King Zhaowang and Bai Qi.

Gai Nie heard this and immediately drew his sword. No matter what the King of Qin wanted to do, he would live and die with him.

Yan Lingji also looked at Seeing Ying Zheng with some surprise, not understanding what this King of Qin was thinking.

Su Xuan could guess what Seeing Ying Zheng was thinking.

Perhaps it was a bit naive, but in the end, he agreed to Seeing Ying Zheng's request.

"What is difficult about this!"

He smiled indifferently and said to Seeing Ying Zheng: "Please follow me closely, King of Qin!"

As he spoke, he dissipated the bright mirror condensed by the "Moon-Taking" technique, stepped forward, and walked toward the outside of the tent.

Seeing Ying Zheng followed closely, Gai Nie guarded with his sword, and Yan Lingji thought for a while and followed behind.

As they walked out of the tent, the soldiers guarding outside the tent immediately surrounded them, intending to intercept them. Earlier, they had received Wang Yi's order that people in the tent, except for those invited by him, could not go out at will.

Su Xuan said indifferently, "Wind, come!"

A violent wind blew, blowing many soldiers to the side at the same time.
