"Master Shang, we will arrive in Wusui soon." Gai Nie lifted the car curtain and reminded him.

Ying Zheng, who was watching "The Policy of Governing the Country", paused for a moment, but didn't take it too seriously. He just raised his eyelids and said, "If anyone asks me, tell them my identity, and they will tell Wu Sui's commander."

Unlike the original work, since the Qin envoy was not killed, Li Si did not go on a diplomatic mission to Qin.

This also led to one thing. If they wanted to pass through Wusui where the Qin army was stationed, they must have a legitimate identity and reason. This is why Ying Zheng took the initiative to tell his identity.

Su Xuan thought about it and didn't say anything.

Ying Zheng is still young now, so it is not a bad thing to let him feel the sinisterness of human nature and the ruthlessness of the struggle for power.

The process of growth is often accompanied by a price.

Just like the process of climbing a height, it is often accompanied by various difficulties and obstacles.

This is also an indispensable experience in the growth process of an emperor.

Not long after, they met a Qin scout who came to interrogate them. After learning Ying Zheng's identity, he took the initiative to kowtow and respectfully led them to Wusui's camp.

Inside the camp, dozens of rows of Qin soldiers were lined up together, all wearing black armor and holding long spears. With shouts, they waved the long spears in their hands in unison, with a stern momentum, giving people a feeling of being unstoppable.

"To pacify thousands of troops and to defeat one side with heavy armor, the Pingyang Heavy Armored Army is indeed the elite of our Great Qin. Their murderous aura is clearly visible." Seeing the well-trained Qin soldiers, Ying Zheng's eyes showed admiration. Although he was stating the facts, it was not difficult to hear the pride from his heart from his tone.

"I've always heard that General Wang Xi is very strict in disciplining his troops. Now that I see him, I realize that his reputation is well-deserved." Su Xuan was also moved when he saw the elite Qin soldiers.

Gai Nie glanced around and said in a deep voice, "The Pingyang Heavy Armored Army led by General Wang Xi has experienced three generations of Qin kings, fought on the battlefield for a long time, attacked Changping, captured Wu'an, conquered Pi Lao, occupied Shangdang, and made great military achievements.

"After capturing Shangdang, General Wang Xi and the Pingyang Heavy Armored Army have been stationed in the Taiyuan area all year round. Now they have suddenly come to the border between Qin and Han to guard Wusui. There must be something hidden in this matter. We need to be careful."

Although Gai Nie's words were rather obscure, Ying Zheng still understood the hidden meaning behind his words. His eyes darkened slightly, and he looked at Su Xuan and asked, "What do you think, sir?"

Su Xuan pondered for a moment, then said, "The change of power is often accompanied by swordplay and bloodshed. Now that the king is about to take power, some people are happy to see it happen, but naturally there are also people who do not want to see this scene."

"If Your Majesty wants to pacify the six kingdoms, the first step is to eliminate internal troubles and consolidate power."

Ying Zheng deeply agreed with this. Since he succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen, the military and political power in the court had been controlled by Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji for more than ten years. Even when he was about to be crowned and take power, Lu Buwei showed no sign of giving up power.

That is his right!

According to the Book of Rites, a man would perform the coming-of-age ceremony when he turned 20. He should have taken charge of the government two years ago, but they postponed it for two years!

He could not wait any longer. He did not want to be like his great-grandfather, King Zhuangxiang of Qin, who was a puppet for forty-one years. It was not until he was sixty years old that he, with the help of Fan Sui, overthrew the three nobles of the Chu clique and regained power.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to take the risk alone and went to South Korea, just to find a helper like Fan Sui to help him eradicate these insects and help him regain power.

He looked at Su Xuan. Fortunately, he met the master. In his opinion, the master's ability was ten or a hundred times greater than Fan Sui!

Su Xuan continued to analyze, "As for General Wang Xi's sudden change of garrison location, this may not be a coincidence."

"Besides Your Majesty, who else can make a general change his stationing location?"

Ying Zheng's face darkened, and he already had the answer in his mind.

"Wang Xi is an old general with outstanding achievements. The Qin State has treated him well. Why would he betray me?" Perhaps because of his anger, Ying Zheng clenched the knuckles of his right hand together, and they even showed signs of turning white due to excessive force.

"Maybe it's because of Wu'an Jun." Su Xuan stopped there and didn't discuss the topic in depth.

Some words don't need to be explained in detail to still understand their meaning.

Ying Zheng naturally knew about Bai Qi's deeds, and felt sorry for his fate.

As Bai Qi's deputy general, it is normal for Wang Xi to have resentment towards his great-grandfather, but what does this have to do with him?

Is it just because he is the King of Qin? Or do they think he is weak and can be bullied?

A nameless anger rose up in Ying Zheng's heart for no reason.

At this moment, the scout who had just gone to report the news came back and said, "Master Shang, the general is not in the central army at the moment. I'm notifying you to go to the military camp and wait."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng's impression of him became even worse.

As a subject, how rude of you!

Under the guidance of the scout, Su Xuan and his companions soon met Wang Xi in the tent.

"You have done a great job. Here, this is my toast to you." Wang Xi's hair and beard were all white, but his eyes were still as sharp as a spear. He held a wine glass and walked slowly to several scouts to give them rewards.

The candlelight in the tent flickered slightly. At some point, Wang Xi had drawn his sword and slashed at the scout in front of him with lightning speed.

He is fast, but there are people who are faster than him.

Su Xuan retracted the sword seal, and pinched the sword tip with his right index finger and middle finger. No matter how hard Wang Xi tried, he could not advance even an inch.

The scout came to his senses and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He took several steps back and looked at Wang Xi with a vigilant look.

"What do you mean, General?" Su Xuan asked expressing his confusion.

"Who are you?" Wang Xi's pupils suddenly shrank. What a fast speed! Besides Gai Nie, there is actually such a master beside the King of Qin?

"Confucianism, Su Xuan." Su Xuan replied calmly. Although his eyes were calm, they brought an inexplicable sense of oppression to Wang Xi.

Wang Xi was surprised and doubtful. How could such a talented person be recruited by the King of Qin?

"It's you?"

"Why did we attack them?" Ying Zheng asked with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Wang Xi knelt on one knee and bowed, "There are many spies in the military camp. If your identity is revealed, it will be dangerous."

"I did this for the safety of the king."

Ying Zheng's expression eased slightly.

Ah!

Su Xuan sneered, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "General Wang Xi, do you know where this is? This is the Qin army camp! This is Qin territory!! There are tens of thousands of Qin soldiers, and countless brave and vigorous old Qin people. If the king's safety cannot be guaranteed here, isn't that a huge irony?"

"Furthermore, if General Wang Xi's actions were noticed by someone with ulterior motives, wouldn't it backfire and put His Majesty in even greater danger?"

After hearing what Su Xuan said, Ying Zheng felt that Wang Qi was indeed acting recklessly and making his own decisions. In addition, he already had a bad impression of him, and now he shook his head secretly.

What a sharp tongue! He said everything white turned into black!

Wang Xi suppressed his anger and said, "It is my fault for not considering it carefully."

Su Xuan had no intention of letting Wang Xi go. He walked up to several scouts and gently patted their shoulders. "The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty are all loyal, brave and good fighters. If they have to die, they can only die on the battlefield. If they die at the hands of their own people, wouldn't that disappoint the loyalty of thousands of Qin soldiers?"

"Even if it was the former Wu'an Jun, his sword, spear, and halberd would always be pointed at the enemy, not at his own people!"

The originally iron-willed Qin army scout suddenly had tears in his eyes and was grateful in his heart.

Ying Zheng's expression was also moved, and there was more disgust in his eyes when he looked at Wang Xi.

All the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty are his people. Their life and death can only be determined by the laws of the Qin Dynasty and can only be decided by him, the king!

Gai Nie was deeply touched, as if he saw the so-called chivalrous spirit in Su Xuan.

Su Xuan was merciless and continued to attack, "Internally, General Wang Xi didn't even know whether the scouts were loyal to the king. This is dereliction of duty. He acted on his own initiative and killed first and reported later. He treated the king as nothing. This is disloyalty. He didn't know right from wrong and wanted to kill his comrades. This is an even greater crime!"

He was never the kind of person who would wait for others to attack before fighting back. Since he knew that Wang Xi had ulterior motives, he took the initiative to attack and cut the Gordian knot.

The camp is Wang Xi's home ground. If he is given a chance to react and prepare adequately, wouldn't he be putting himself in danger?

Ying Zheng felt that what Su Xuan said made sense, and he took this opportunity to test Wang Xi's loyalty.

"Wang Xi, do you admit your guilt?"
