Chapter 558: Give you a chance

~4 min read 744 words

Hearing the name Bai Qi, Han Xin beside Su Xuan had a solemn expression. For this Martial Lord of the Qin Guo, how could he have not heard of him? Although the ending was not very good, Bai Qi's rise to fame truly interpreted the four words "grassroots rise," which made Han Xin admire him quite a bit.

From a soldier at the very bottom, he climbed step by step to become the Martial Lord.

Bai Qi was really powerful.

And Wang Jian, what appeared on his face was a complex color.

He thought of Bai Qi's ending.

Merit overshadowing the master.

Even now, regarding Bai Qi's death, there were other sayings, but the Bai Qi at that time did indeed cause the King of Zhao to be wary, and he had vaguely reached the point where he could not be enfeoffed anymore.

However, if it was about merit, the Bai Qi at that time still could not compare to the current Wang Jian.

Among the Six States of Shandong, Wang Jian alone destroyed three of them.

This kind of merit was unprecedented and might even be unrepeatable.

Wang Jian thought that Su Xuan saying these words in front of him was warning him, so after being silent for a while, he said, "As expected, this battle should be the last battle of my life. I have already decided that after the matter of the State of Chu is over, I will formally propose to the King of Qin to retire and return to farming!"

Su Xuan had a close relationship with the King of Qin and was the King of Qin's most trusted confidant.

If he said this in front of Su Xuan, if Su Xuan was willing to say a few good words for him in front of the King of Qin, the King of Qin might also be able to let go of his wariness towards him.

How could Su Xuan not understand the meaning of Wang Jian saying these words in front of him? He nodded and said, "I will talk to the King of Qin about this matter."

"Thank you, Mr. Su!"

After Wang Jian received Su Xuan's guarantee, he felt much more at ease.

He had never been complacent because of the merit of destroying three states. To be honest, after destroying the State of Yan, Wang Jian actually did not want to participate in the war anymore. After his son Wang Ben destroyed the State of Wei, he was even more panicked.

From the perspective of merit, their father and son successively destroyed several states. The Wang clan could be described as unparalleled in prominence.

But the emperor's mind cannot be guessed. At this time, the Wang clan was extremely prominent, and it was very likely that in the next moment, it would cause the emperor's suspicion, and then lead to destruction.

So, this time, he was not prepared to participate in the matter of destroying Chu.

Before the Qin Guo attacked Chu, he had already made plans to retire and return to farming.

In his expectation, he also determined that the King of Qin could not appoint someone from the Wang clan to serve as the main general to attack Chu again.

As a result, Seeing Ying Zheng's idea exceeded his expectation.

Seeing Ying Zheng found him privately and requested him to serve as the main general to attack Chu. Even though he declined repeatedly, in the face of Seeing Ying Zheng's insistence, he still could not refuse.

Although he did not want to make great contributions anymore, he remembered Bai Qi's lesson.

Bai Qi's death, apart from merit overshadowing the master, the reason why the King of Zhao gave him death, there was one, which was disobedience.

Wang Jian did not want Bai Qi's matter to fall on his head again.

Han Xin listened quietly to the conversation between Su Xuan and Wang Jian. Before coming to Shouchun, Su Xuan said he had some energy, and Han Xin had already seen some of it. This time, he realized again that Su Xuan's energy was far from as simple as he thought.

He was a smart person.

How could he not know at this moment that Su Xuan could also speak in front of the King of Qin?

Even the famous Wang Jian had to be respectful in front of Su Xuan.

"Joining the Yin-Yang School might be the most correct decision I have ever made!"
