Externally, there was the Marquis of Wenxin, Lu Lu Buwei, and internally, the Marquis of Changxin, Lao Ai. These two marquises held him in the middle, like a cage, tightly restricting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Marquis of Wenxin, Lu Lu Buwei, was the Qin Wang’s foster father and the Chancellor of Qin. After the late king passed away, he had been managing state affairs on his behalf, wielding immense power. The Marquis of Changxin, Lao Ai, was a new favorite at court, backed by the Empress Dowager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these two were at daggers drawn in the Qin court and fighting fiercely, this did not mean it was a good thing for Ying Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The civil and military officials of the court either sided with Lu Lu Buwei or Lao Ai, throwing their support behind them. Who among them cared for him, the Qin Wang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Ying Zheng thought that once he completed his coming-of-age ceremony and Lu Lu Buwei returned power to him, he could fully realize his ambitions. In fact, to better achieve his goals, he had even acted recklessly, running off to Han Guo to find Han Fei—a friend he had never met but knew intimately through books and writings—to invite him to plot great things together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it turned out, upon arriving in Han Guo, he realized he had been too naive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Han Fei rejected him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the assassins of the Net appeared. It was only after personally experiencing the killing intent brought by Xuan Xuan Jian that he finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people were determined not to let him come of age and take personal control of the government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power is a poison; once tasted, it cannot be forsaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming of age and wielding power seemed easy, but whether he could even return to Qin alive was a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, even if he reached the day of his coming-of-age ceremony and gained the qualification to rule, it was still unknown whether that person would actually return power to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the day of Xuan Xuan Jian’s assassination attempt, Ying Zheng caught a glimpse of the undercurrents hidden beneath the calm of Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that made him curious was: who was the mastermind behind this attempt on his life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it the Marquis of Changxin, or... the Marquis of Wenxin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Net was the official assassin organization of Qin, with an extremely long history. It had been established since the time of Shang Yang’s reforms. As an organization skilled in assassination and espionage, it had rendered many services to Qin over the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an organization should originally have been controlled by the ruler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because he had not yet taken personal control of the government, and many state affairs were handled by the Chancellor, Lu Lu Buwei, the Net was temporarily under his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, it was highly likely that the latter was responsible for this incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of resentment could not help but rise in Ying Zheng’s heart, but he ultimately suppressed this trace of resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the final analysis, the reason he was targeted by the Net was because his own strength was insufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this was also the reason Han Fei refused to serve him, but Ying Zheng did not give up his desire to seek talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Su Xuan was a wanted criminal in Han Guo, both the strength and the methods he displayed were enough to make Ying Zheng’s heart stir. Such a master, not being valued in Han Guo and even suffering injustice—that was because Han Guo did not know how to use talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don't use him, I will!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Fei and the others guessed Ying Zheng’s intention, but they said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Su Xuan had once been a guest of the King of Han, he had ultimately suffered unjust grievances because of Han Guo, and Han Fei had no ability to help Su Xuan clear his name. After all, the turmoil caused by Su Xuan killing Ji Ji Wuye was simply too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was still because the news of him killing Bai Bai Yifei had not yet spread; otherwise, the unrest would have been even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room where Ying Zheng and Han Fei had previously spoken had been destroyed due to the battle between Su Xuan and Xuan Xuan Jian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Ying Zheng wanted to speak with Su Xuan, Zi Nu could only find a private room on the second floor of the front courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the private room, Gai Nie stood quietly behind Ying Zheng. Even though Su Xuan’s strength was powerful and he could not be defeated, protecting Ying Zheng’s safety was his mission, and he would not give up just because the opponent was strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Zhuang and the others went to deal with Xuan Xuan Jian’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Xuan Jian had died in the Zilan Pavilion; it was impossible to just leave the body there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is worth mentioning that before Su Xuan and Ying Zheng came to this private room to talk, he had taken away Xuan Xuan Jian’s two swords. Just like when he collected the red and white swords, with a flick of his sleeve, the black and white Xuan Xuan Jian swords disappeared into his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I have not been in Xinzheng long, I have heard of Mr. Su!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Han Guo no longer has a place for you, Mr. Su. I wonder, where do you intend to go next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Zheng got straight to the point and asked Su Xuan directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although through their previous conversation he already knew that Su Xuan controlled the Nightfall organization—which was founded by Ji Ji Wuye and spread throughout Han Guo—and that Su Xuan could use the Nightfall's power to hide in Han Guo, that would only be in the shadows, unable to walk openly in the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Ying Zheng guessed that if Su Xuan was a person who could not endure loneliness, he would definitely choose to leave Han Guo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does the Qin Wang wish to recruit me?\" Su Xuan asked Ying Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Zheng nodded and said, \"Sir, you are a smart man, so I will not hide it from you. I do indeed wish to recruit you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your methods are brilliant, your strength is extraordinary, yet you have no place or room to use your talents in Han Guo. This is a tragedy for the world. If you are willing to serve me, I will certainly not be stingy with my trust!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sounds nice, but the Qin Wang does not seem to recognize his current situation.\" Su Xuan spoke calmly. \"A moment ago, you were subjected to an assassination attempt by the Qin state's Net organization. This means your situation is not very good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Zheng’s expression was solemn; it could be said that it was somewhat ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter was indeed like a thorn, stuck firmly in his heart, making him extremely uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The person in the shadows, upon discovering that you had left Qin, immediately dispatched a Heaven-grade assassin like Xuan Xuan Jian to kill you, clearly to eliminate future trouble. Now, although Xuan Xuan Jian is dead, you must know that there is more than one Heaven-grade assassin in the Net!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng did not hesitate. He stood up, bowed to Su Xuan, and said, \"I beg you, sir, to assist me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon realizing the Yan Zhongxing of the matter, he no longer referred to himself as \"the lonely one,\" but instead used \"I,\" which meant that his attitude toward Su Xuan had also undergone a tremendous change.\u003C\u002Fp>",1302,"2026-06-17T04:20:16.697Z","2026-06-17T04:29:29.394Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","da693cfbc16a5ce0eda06f2bcdfc13944d979f1395279aefc31f797bf304b1b9","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-89","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-87",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-cover.jpg"]
