"If you want to accuse someone of something, there will be no end to it."

Perhaps remembering the past events of Wu'an Jun, Wang Qi stopped pretending, stood up, and glared at Su Xuan and Ying Zheng.

"When Wu'an Jun was still alive, our Qin soldiers were so powerful! They were invincible in battle and conquered every enemy. Their might shook the world and no one in the world could stand up to them!"

"In the Battle of Changping, Wu'an Jun defeated the Zhao army and annihilated more than 450,000 Zhao soldiers, which severely damaged the vitality of Zhao. It should have been a good opportunity to pursue the victory and annihilate Zhao in one fell swoop. However, because Fan Sui was jealous of the talented, he made slanderous remarks to King Zhao and ordered a ceasefire and peace talks, which led to failure."

He sneered and continued, "But Zhao State changed its mind at the last minute after agreeing to cede land in exchange for peace. King Zhao was so angry that he sent troops to attack Handan again. Wu Anjun advised King Zhao three times, but King Zhao did not listen, which led to a great defeat. As a result, Wu Anjun was sentenced to death and died by taking poison."

"A famous general who never lost a battle in his life died in a war he never participated in."

"Today, do you also want to use the same method to deal with this general?"

Wang Xi glared at Su Xuan angrily, his voice full of emotion. It was clearly a dead end, but he had torn a hole in it.

Su Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Wang Xi was indeed an old fox, having lived to this age.

He almost believed this acting.

But considering the situation in the camp, it is not surprising that Wang Xi took such action.

Su Xuan first glanced at Ying Zheng. At this time, Ying Zheng had his hands behind his back, looking at Wang Xi, his expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.

But from his facial expression, it is impossible to tell what he is thinking at the moment.

Su Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, and he inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction in nurturing the First Emperor. He turned his gaze to Wang Xi again and said, "Although Wu'an Jun killed many people, he never killed any Qin soldiers without reason. Although Wu'an Jun did not respect the king's orders, he never had any evil intentions."

Su Xuan said in a deep voice, "In the Battle of Changping, Wu'an defeated the State of Zhao and killed 450,000 of Zhao's elite soldiers. However, in the siege of Handan, you lost 300,000 soldiers and returned in defeat!"

"Wu'an Jun is Wu'an Jun, and you are you. How can the two be confused?"

"I don't know whether Wu Anjun is guilty or not, but you are definitely guilty!"

"If you trust the king, put down the sharp weapon in your hand. The king will find out the right and wrong and give you justice."

Ying Zheng nodded secretly, feeling that Su Xuan was quite pleasing to his heart.

In his opinion, ability is never the first priority, loyalty is!

If Wang Xi could turn back from his wrong path, he might spare his life, but if he refused to repent, he would have to eliminate the traitor.

Looking at Su Xuan's smiling face, Wang Xi gritted his teeth and wished he could cut him into pieces. If looks could kill, Su Xuan would have died countless times by now.

He glanced around the room, his mind racing.

Lay down your weapons? Wouldn't that mean I am at the mercy of others?

What kind of fate did Wu'an Jun get for his loyalty in the past?

While Wang Qi was still making a decision, Su Xuan calmly retreated to Ying Zheng's side and whispered a few words to Gai Nie.

"I am innocent, please look into my mind, Your Majesty!" He bowed slightly and slowly put down his sword. But at the moment when everyone relaxed their vigilance, he suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Ying Zheng.

Gai Nie, who remained vigilant, stopped Wang Xi at the first opportunity. After a few moves, Wang Xi took the opportunity to leave the military camp.

"Enemy soldiers have sneaked into the barracks with the intention of assassinating this general. Kill them immediately!"

Dozens of guards immediately surrounded him, and Wang Xi took the opportunity to rush towards the central army camp.

The military camp was unguarded and separated from the central army in a hidden location. It was originally the burial place he prepared for Ying Zheng and his party. He never expected that the situation would be reversed and he would be in danger.

Gai Nie, who was well prepared, would not let him escape. He held the hilt of the sword in the air, activated his inner energy, and controlled the sword with his Qi. With a flash of cold light, the sharp sword edge slashed towards Wang Xi like lightning.

His sword move was Guiguzi's famous skill, Hundred-Step Flying Sword.

Wang Xi turned around to block, and the swords collided. Sparks flew out in an instant, and the terrifying force from the sword made Wang Xi retreat repeatedly. Gai Nie raised his sword finger slightly, and the blade swept behind Wang Xi, and turned sideways. Before Wang Xi could react in time, the sword had already scratched the side of his neck.

In a moment, his life was taken.

As expected, he is worthy of being the combat power ceiling of Qin Shi Ming Yue!

Su Xuan thought that Wang Xi's death at the hands of Gai Nie was a worthy death.

After all, this was a man who claimed that he could take the general's head from among thousands of soldiers, and he was still quite confident.

Even though his current cultivation level is not as high as it will be in the future, it is still easy for him to kill a veteran like Wang Xi among hundreds of people.

"Who are you? How dare you cause chaos in my Qin army camp!" The captain Meng Tian, ​​who was patrolling outside the central army camp, rushed over. Seeing the general Wang Xi lying on the ground, he was shocked and angry. He shouted, "Come here! Surround them and don't let any of them go!"

Hundreds of Qin soldiers responded to the order and surrounded Su Xuan and his companions from all directions.

"Sir, it was General Wang Xi who wanted to murder Young Master Shang. Young Master Shang is..." The scout leader hurried forward to explain, but halfway through he remembered that Young Master Shang's identity had to be kept secret, and he stopped talking.

"Don't be shy, I am the King of Qin!" Ying Zheng looked steady as he strode forward, with an invisible air of majesty and dignity. He turned his gaze towards Meng Tian, ​​then scanned the entire room and said in a cold voice, "You are pointing weapons at me, are you also planning a rebellion?"

Under Ying Zheng's sharp gaze, none of the Qin soldiers who were surrounding him dared to look him in the eye. They looked at each other in shock and confusion, and finally, they all turned their eyes to Meng Tian.

Meng Tian frowned, with many questions in his mind, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have a token?"

"Can this thing prove my identity?" Ying Zheng took out the seal of the King of Qin from his arms.

Gai Nie took the seal and handed it to Meng Tian for inspection. Meng Tian only took a glance and after verifying whether it was real or fake, he knelt on one knee without thinking and said respectfully, "General Meng Tian greets His Majesty!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" All the Qin soldiers present bowed in unison.

Someone with the surname Meng?

A hint of surprise flashed across Ying Zheng's eyes, and he asked, "Meng Tian, ​​are you Meng Ao's?"

"My ancestor Meng Ao and my father Meng Wu served as generals in the reigns of King Zhao and King Zhuang." Meng Tian replied with a bow.

"Wang Xi once told me that there are many spies in the military camp. If several scouts know my identity, he will cut off the roots, otherwise he cannot guarantee my safety." Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian seriously, "Meng Tian, ​​if it were you, could you protect me?"

Meng Tian was stunned at first, then glanced at the scouts behind Ying Zheng, with a flash of anger in his eyes. Then he clasped his hands together and expressed his feelings, "I am willing to serve the king as a pioneer, even if it means sacrificing my life."

"Good!" Ying Zheng praised loudly, walked to Meng Tian, ​​and helped him up, "The Meng family has been loyal for generations."

"I believe you!"

"Your Majesty may encounter setbacks on the way back to Xianyang. Since General Meng Tian is confident, why not let him lead his soldiers to protect the king?" Su Xuan took advantage of the situation and added an extra layer of protection for himself and his group.

With a thousand guards, they should be safe along the way unless someone rebels.

"Just as you say, sir." Ying Zheng felt warm in his heart. It was still the sir who was always thinking about my safety!

After this, Ying Zheng ordered the extermination of Wang Zhi's three clans, and all those who recommended, sponsored, and approved his career advancement process would be strictly investigated!
