Indeed, if such an incompetent ruler is kept, it is of no benefit to the country; it would be better if he were dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Once these words were spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Si’s expression changed instantly, and he also lost his composure. Although Wang Xuan Jian had previously expressed some thoughts implicitly through his words, he had not yet stated his inner thoughts directly, which meant there was still room for maneuver and they had not completely torn off the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As a result, once the King said this, it was equivalent to directly stating General Wang Xuan Jian’s purpose, and the two had completely torn off the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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 Xuan Jian.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ying Zheng acted as if he had not heard Li Si’s words and continued: \"But I want to say, General Wang Xuan Jian is wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His tone changed abruptly, becoming incomparably cold while filled with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Since I dare to say such things, I have the confidence to realize them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" Wang Xuan Jian, however, did not believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ying Zheng continued: \"General Wang Xuan Jian is an old general of our Qin, having served through several Qin Kings and established illustrious merits for our Qin. Surely you have unique insights into the great trends of the world. Today, I shall discuss these great trends of the world with you, General!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I would like to see what you have to say!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mentioning the great trends of the world, Wang Xuan Jian also became interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing the two suddenly start discussing the great trends of the world, Li Si did not know what to say for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>From murderous intent to discussing the great trends of the world, this should count as a good thing, right?!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was somewhat uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Afterward, he quietly listened to Ying Zheng and Wang Xuan Jian talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As soon as Ying Zheng spoke, he first pointed out Qin’s advantages, and then began to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the six states of Shandong step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before meeting Su Xuan, Ying Zheng had his own set of views on the world’s situation. Later, after the incident at Zilan Xuan, through Su Xuan’s words, his understanding of the world’s trends became clearer, and he even learned from Su Xuan that there were other worlds beyond the nine provinces.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the way from the State of Han to Qin, inside the carriage, he often consulted and communicated with Su Xuan, learning much more about the world’s situation from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Afterward, he summarized and synthesized everything he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And now, he spoke it all out in one breath before Wang Xuan Jian.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After finishing the advantages of Qin and the strengths and weaknesses of the six states of Shandong, Ying Zheng stated his conclusion: \"Although Qin is only one state, its comprehensive national strength can already rival the six states of Shandong. So, General Wang Xuan Jian, do you still think it is difficult to destroy the six states of Shandong and unify the world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Xuan Jian was silent. It was not that he was rendered speechless by Ying Zheng, but that the amount of information contained in what Ying Zheng had just said was truly too great; he needed to spend some time to digest it completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Si was also digesting these words.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Si was a student of a prestigious school, naturally intelligent, and full of ambition. After arriving in Qin, he saw the undercurrents within the state; otherwise, he would not have secretly defected to Ying Zheng after attaching himself to Lu Lu Buwei.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was precisely because he saw Ying Zheng’s potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Until this moment, after listening to Ying Zheng’s analysis of the world situation, he realized that he had still underestimated this Qin Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The scales in his heart, which had been in a dilemma because of Wang Xuan Jian’s words, finally began to tilt toward Ying Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Following such a Qin Wang, although the situation might be difficult at first, if he could overcome these difficulties one by one and complete the great cause the Qin Wang spoke of, then in the future, there would surely be a place for him in the history books.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Xuan Jian was silent for a long time. His gaze toward Ying Zheng also changed somewhat. His aged voice came out: \"For the King to have such insight and such ambition, Wang Xuan Jian admires you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Since the King has such ability, why...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He wanted to ask why he hadn’t revealed it sooner, instead giving the impression of an incompetent ruler.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"General Wang Xuan Jian, you do not know, I too have been unable to act as I wish!\" A hint of bitterness appeared on Ying Zheng’s face, but then the bitterness vanished, replaced by determination. \"However, I firmly believe that it will not be long before I can cast off all the cages that shroud me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As he spoke, he suddenly bowed to Wang Xuan Jian and said: \"I ask the old General Wang to lend me a helping hand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Xuan Jian was a veteran general of four reigns, held a very high position in the army, and was the commander-in-chief of this army of one hundred thousand. If he had his help, even if there were still people in the shadows wanting to make a move against him, it would not be so easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Furthermore, with Wang Xuan Jian’s help, Ying Zheng had even greater confidence in truly seizing power.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Xuan Jian heard the sincerity in Ying Zheng’s words. Combined with the posture Ying Zheng had just taken while discussing the world’s trends, he saw deep confidence in this young Qin Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Such a King could never be an incompetent ruler; he clearly had the appearance of a wise monarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he were younger, he would not mind giving his full support.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But now, it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Xuan Jian sighed: \"Wang Xuan Jian failed to recognize the truth, misunderstood the King, and intended to harm the King. I have truly failed the Great Qin; my crime is heinous and unforgivable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As he spoke, he suddenly drew the sword hanging at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Wang Xuan Jian draw his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gai Nie’s expression changed slightly, and he also gripped the sword in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Si was also horrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then, they discovered that Wang Xuan Jian’s sword was not aimed at Ying Zheng, but at himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They did not know why, but he was preparing to commit suicide to atone for his crimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as his sword was about to touch his throat, Su Xuan gently raised his finger, and a burst of energy flew out, striking Wang Xuan Jian’s sword precisely.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Snap!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The long sword fell to the ground, broken into two pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Xuan Jian’s aged body trembled, looking at Su Xuan, who had stopped him, with some disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ying Zheng had not expected Wang Xuan Jian to do this either. With a complex expression, he said to Wang Xuan Jian: \"Old General Wang, why go to such lengths?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Xuan Jian said in a deep voice: \"Wang Xuan Jian could not bear to harm the King, but the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired; there was no way back. Therefore, there was only the path of death to atone for my sins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What does the Old General mean by this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ying Zheng heard the subtext in Wang Xuan Jian’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>",1321,"2026-06-17T04:20:16.697Z","2026-06-17T08:59:55.704Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a99ac1f334a953ac94b2f44669e8def30239bbc7e69e502e853d710cbeba513f","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-99","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-97",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-cover.jpg"]
