Chapter 641: Bai Qi in his twilight years, Su Hang imparts a method to break the deadlock
Looking at the aged appearance of Bai Qi before him, Su Hang realized that this old man likely also understood his own final fate.
This time, he had come to the Half-Moon Inn to bid him farewell.
Thinking of this, a sense of compassion stirred in Su Hang's heart.
Although this old fellow was not particularly likable, he was, after all, a military god he had once admired, and Su Hang felt a bit reluctant to see him go.
Sighing softly, Su Hang said, "Old General Bai, I can help you!"
Hm?
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi trembled all over, a look of astonishment appearing on his face. "What does Mr. mean by that?"
Su Hang said, "I will give you something. At the critical moment, present this item to the Qin Wang; I expect the Qin Wang will discover a way to break the deadlock from it."
"What!"
Bai Qi widened his eyes, looking at Su Hang in disbelief. "Is what Mr. says... true?"
Reversing reincarnation and reshaping vitality—such means were simply like myths, and furthermore, it concerned the entirety of history, making it even more inconceivable.
"Why would I lie to you?" Su Hang said calmly. "Since you have come here, you should be clear about what will happen next. Rather than sitting and waiting for death, it is better to struggle and resist. Take this silk pouch; consider it my parting gift for your journey."
"Many thanks for Mr.'s great kindness!"
After hearing this, Bai Qi immediately bowed respectfully to Su Hang. "Bai Qi is deeply grateful!"
Bai Qi left, heading for the Qin royal palace.
This old fellow was clever; knowing his own temperament and knowing the Qin Wang would certainly not spare him, he simply went straight to surrender.
The Qin royal lineage was thin, and now Ying Ji was already aged; even though he still possessed grand plans to conquer the world, his heart was willing but his strength was failing.
As soon as Bai Qi arrived, he exposed the matter.
The Qin Wang was furious, and just as he was about to issue an order, Bai Qi handed the silk pouch to Ying Ji.
Looking at the note inside the silk pouch, Ying Ji, who had been enraged just a moment ago, suddenly calmed down.
Just like that, Bai Qi survived.
The price, however, was that Su Hang had to expend a Life-Extending Pill.
It could help Ying Ji extend his life by ten years.
With these ten years, Ying Ji could accomplish many things.
This battle was won beautifully by the Qin State.
Three days later, Bai Qi resigned from his post and returned to his hometown, spending his remaining years in the mountains and wilderness.
Before he passed away, Bai Qi left a letter to be delivered to Ying Ji.
Inscribed were two lines of poetry, written with resounding force—
"Manifesto on Pacifying Chaos"
At the start of pacifying chaos, Heaven and Earth are heartless;
At the end of pacifying chaos, Heaven and Earth are unjust;
Loyalty and filial piety are hard to reconcile, and the laws of Heaven do not tolerate it.
Bai Qi originally intended to emulate the story of Liu Bang, to build merit and establish a career to prove his loyalty and filial piety. However, Bai Qi's actions were not tolerated by the world.
I am also helpless, and can only walk away. ===== CHAPTER 643 =====
