Chapter 162: Ying Zheng is not incompetent; he truly possesses great talent!

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng was not angry; instead, a faint smile curled at the corners of his mouth. "Is that how General Wang Jian views me?"

"Incompetent and useless!"

"It is no wonder General Wang Jian would harbor thoughts of harming me. Indeed, if such an incompetent ruler is kept alive, it is of no benefit to the state; it would be better if he were dead."

Once these words were spoken.

Li Si's expression changed immediately, and he also lost his composure. Although Wang Jian had previously revealed some of his thoughts implicitly through his words, he had ultimately not stated his inner thoughts directly, which meant there was still room for maneuver and they had not completely torn off the mask.

As a result, once the King spoke these words, it was equivalent to directly stating General Wang Jian's purpose, and the two had completely torn off the mask.

"Your Majesty..."

Li Si spoke, wanting to persuade Ying Zheng, while simultaneously organizing his words, trying to find a way to ease the relationship between Ying Zheng and Wang Jian.

Ying Zheng acted as if he had not heard Li Si's words and continued: "But I want to say that General Wang Jian is wrong!"

His tone shifted abruptly, becoming incomparably cold and filled with confidence.

"Since I dare to say such things, I have the confidence to realize them!"

"Oh?" Wang Jian, however, did not believe it.

Ying Zheng continued: "General Wang Jian is an old general of my Qin Guo, having served through several generations of Qin Kings and having established illustrious merits for my Qin Guo. I presume you also have unique insights into the great trends of the world. Today, I shall discuss these great trends of the world with you, General!"

"I would like to see what you have to say!"

Mentioning the great trends of the world, Wang Jian also became interested.

Seeing the two suddenly begin to discuss the great trends of the world, Li Si did not know what to say for a moment.

From baring murderous intent to discussing the great trends of the world, this should count as a good thing, right?!

He was somewhat uncertain.

Afterward, he listened quietly as Ying Zheng and Wang Jian conversed.

As soon as Ying Zheng began, he first pointed out the advantages of the Qin Guo, and then began to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the Six States of Shandong step by step.

Before meeting Su Xuan, Ying Zheng already had his own set of views on the world situation. Later, through the incident at Zilan Pavilion and via Su Xuan's words, his understanding of the world's trends became increasingly clear, and he even learned from Su Xuan that there were other nine provinces beyond these nine provinces.

On the journey from the State of Han to the Qin Guo, inside the carriage, he often consulted and exchanged ideas with Su Xuan, learning much more about the world situation from him.

Afterward, he summarized and categorized all that he had learned.

And now, he spoke it all out in one breath before Wang Jian. ===== CHAPTER 164 =====
