Chapter 296

When Lord Lord Changping said this, it actually meant that he admitted to the things he had done, but he did not think he was wrong. Because he was a person of Chu, he could spare no effort and stop at nothing for Chu, and he could have a clear conscience regarding Qin's kindness.

Ying Zheng listened to Lord Lord Changping's words, his eyes becoming increasingly cold.

"You really care about Chu!"

Ying Zheng's tone was strange, carrying mockery.

"Originally, with your crimes, it would not be excessive for me to execute you directly, but now, I have changed my mind. Executing you just like this is too easy for you. I want you to watch as the Chu you miss and care about so much perishes before your eyes!"

Upon hearing this, Lord Lord Changping's expression changed instantly.

For someone who would stop at nothing for Chu, this was indeed the cruelest punishment in the world.

Ying Zheng had a ruthless heart!

Just then, Tian Guang, who had been following Lord Lord Changping and had his identity revealed by Ying Zheng, suddenly made a decision.

How Ying Zheng knew about the things Lord Lord Changping did, although it made them very confused, was not important now.

What was important was that with Ying Zheng knowing these things and taking the initiative to show his hand to Lord Lord Changping, the situation had reached the worst possible state for Lord Lord Changping.

At this moment, there was only one way to break the situation.

That was for him to take action, capture Ying Zheng, and by threatening Ying Zheng, win a chance for Lord Lord Changping to escape.

As long as Lord Lord Changping escaped from here and returned to Chu, with his wisdom, he might have a chance to make a comeback.

As for whether he would sacrifice himself in the process?

Tian Guang did not care.

A scholar dies for his confidant!

Lord Lord Changping had great kindness to his Nongjia and had given him the opportunity to be recognized. For Lord Lord Changping, he could sacrifice everything.

In an instant, Tian Guang made his decision.

While Lord Lord Changping was silent, his figure flashed out like lightning, suddenly attacking Ying Zheng.

As the Xia Kui of the Nongjia, Tian Guang's strength was extremely formidable. Ying Zheng only felt a gust of wind blowing in his face, and subconsciously, his heart also tightened.

Just as Tian Guang was about to reach Ying Zheng and capture him.

A calm voice sounded, "Forbidden!"

In an instant, an invisible force swept through, time and space seemed to freeze, and Tian Guang's movements were slowed to the extreme. A streak of energy flew over, and his body was sent flying to the side, a mouthful of scarlet blood spitting from his mouth.

In just one encounter, he had already been seriously injured.

Feeling the injuries in his body, Tian Guang showed a bitter expression, forcing himself to use his last bit of strength to look in Su Xuan's direction, "Is... this your strength?"

He did not even know what had happened before he was defeated.

Tian Guang gradually understood why the six great elders' ambush on Su Xuan had ended in failure.

Su Xuan's strength had likely reached an unprecedented state.

"As one of the Hundred Schools of Thought, you are the Xia Kui of the Nongjia. I really don't understand, isn't it good to honestly be the Nongjia leader? Why did you choose to help Lord Lord Changping, thereby involving the Nongjia in this mighty storm of the world?" Su Xuan felt Tian Guang's gaze, lowered his head, and asked softly.

"Just like you, as the leader of the Yin-Yang School, chose to help Ying Zheng, my Nongjia must make a choice if we want to survive in the disputes of the world!" Tian Guang's voice was heavy.

"So, you chose Lord Lord Changping?"

Su Xuan's mouth curled into a sneer, "If you want to survive in the disputes of the world, then you should have chosen our Qin. I don't believe that as the Nongjia Xia Kui, you cannot see the trend of the world!"

Tian Guang was silent. Of course, he could see the trend of the world.

In today's world, Qin is uniquely strong, and the six states of Shandong are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Even though the Nongjia ambushed Bai Qi back then, leading to Qin's suppression, after that incident, the Nongjia actually realized Qin's strength more clearly.

If they wanted the Nongjia to continue to exist, attaching themselves to Qin like the Gongshu family, the Yin-Yang School, and the Mohists was indeed a way out.

But Tian Guang did not want to submit to the trend.

"Lord Lord Changping has given me the opportunity to be recognized and has been a great benefactor to my Nongjia. The wish he wants to realize is something my Nongjia must accomplish even if we exhaust everything!"

Tian Guang finally expressed his true thoughts.

"To help Lord Lord Changping, you don't hesitate to drag the entire Nongjia into the mud. You, the Nongjia Xia Kui, are really loyal!" Su Xuan praised Tian Guang, his tone changing, "Unfortunately, loyalty cannot change the fact that the Nongjia is about to perish!"

Tian Guang's eyes narrowed, "What do you mean by that?"

"Exactly what I said!"

Su Xuan said indifferently, "Lord Lord Changping cares about Chu, so His Majesty is prepared to let Lord Lord Changping witness the destruction of Chu with his own eyes. As the Nongjia Xia Kui, I think it would be a very interesting thing to let you witness the destruction of the Nongjia because of you!"

Where was it interesting?

This was clearly cruel!

Hearing this, Tian Guang became anxious and immediately said to Su Xuan, "If you have any issues, just come at me, it has nothing to do with the Nongjia!"

"I would like to come at you, but unfortunately, after you sent Nongjia disciples to ambush the Six-Fingered Black Knight, persuaded the six great elders to ambush me, and let Nongjia people help Lord Lord Changping, it was no longer just your own business. The Nongjia is not as innocent as you imagine!"

Su Xuan ignored Tian Guang's ugly expression, turned around, walked to the side, and said no more.

Because Ying Zheng wanted Lord Lord Changping to witness the destruction of Chu, and because Su Xuan wanted Tian Guang to witness the destruction of the Nongjia, they did not kill these two people but captured and imprisoned them.

And because Lord Lord Changping's identity was extraordinary.

After this meeting, Ying Zheng issued another edict.

"Upon investigation, the Chancellor Xiong Qi has violated the laws of Qin. After discussion by the Great Court, Xiong Qi is dismissed from his position as Chancellor, but may retain the title of Lord Lord Changping. Considering Xiong Qi is suffering from a serious illness, he is allowed to stay in his mansion in Xianyang to recuperate!"

As the Left Chancellor of the court, Xiong Qi had always been Ying Zheng's confidant. No one expected that one day Ying Zheng would dismiss Xiong Qi and that he would violate the laws of Qin.

What law did he break? Many people were very curious.

Others learned that Xiong Qi was seriously ill and was recuperating in his mansion, so they prepared to visit him, but found that there were many strange guards around his mansion, and they could not step inside at all.

Such a posture caused many people to have different thoughts.
