In the Great Qin Dynasty, I, the Unruly Commander, begin by dual-cultivating with Yan Ling Ji.

Ying Ziqing strolled leisurely into the main hall, slowly surveying the classical and elegant decorations around her, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Wei An, the person I want to see is not you."

Wei An, who was walking ahead, paused. As a shrewd person, he naturally understood the meaning behind Ying Ziqing's words.

A flicker of hesitation crossed his lowered eyes, then he smiled knowingly and said:

"The commander is indeed a divine man; nothing can escape his discerning eyes. I will now take you to see my father."

Although Wei An didn't know what Ying Ziqing was up to, he knew that the Wei family couldn't stop the Bad Commander with their strength, so he might as well comply.

Wei An walked to the innermost room and pressed down on a protruding lattice in the corner. With a click of gears turning, a corridor with flickering candlelight came into view.

"General, please." Wei An stepped aside and lifted one hand towards the corridor.

Ying Ziqing stepped inside with his hands behind his back, while Wei An followed behind him.

After passing through the corridor, a spacious, secret room came into view, with various ancient books displayed all around.

In the center of the inner room, there was a futon, on which sat a withered old man with white hair and red eyebrows, holding a bamboo slip in his hand.

The old man raised his cloudy eyes and glanced at Ying Ziqing, his eyes brightening slightly.

"Distinguished guest, you have come from afar. I, Wei Wuji, have failed to greet you properly," the old man said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Ying Ziqing casually sat on another futon and said in a slightly teasing tone:

"Who would have thought that Lord Xinling, who held such a high position and great power, would be willing to confine himself to this small room?"

Wei Wuji gave a self-deprecating laugh, "It's nothing more than clinging to life."

Wei An bowed to Wei Wuji and said:

"Father, this is the General of the Wuwei Army of the Great Qin Dynasty."

A look of surprise flashed in Wei Wuji's eyes. The Bad Commander?!

He was well aware of the formidable reputation of the Bad Commander, who had wreaked havoc in Korea, destroyed the Nightfall, and slaughtered the Xiongnu in the north, causing their extinction.

Such a person compels Wei Wuji to treat him with utmost care.

"May I ask what brings the General to the Wei residence?"

"Lord Xinling, there's no need to be nervous. I've come here to make a deal with your Wei family," Ying Ziqing said calmly.

"As far as I know, your Wei family has become a target for the Wei royal family to eliminate because of some secrets."

As for what your Wei family is hiding, I don't care. I can help you... become the new kings of Wei!

Wei An, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but tremble slightly with his hands hanging down.

He silently looked up at Wei Wuji, who closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

He opened his eyes, looked at Ying Ziqing, and said:

"What does the Commander-in-Chief want from our Wei family?"

Ying Ziqing chuckled and said calmly:

"What I want, how could you not know?" He naturally knew that Wei Wuji, as an old fox capable of rivaling the King of Wei, was not easily fooled by ordinary lies, and...

Ying Ziqing didn't need to lie; he wasn't like Su Qin, who only knew how to talk.

Whether it's him or the Bad People, they have enough power to wipe Wei Wuji and the Wei family out of this Daliang city.

As the head of the Qin's Bad Commanders, he naturally harbored the intention to destroy the Wei Kingdom, and Wei Wuji was well aware of this.

Wei Wuji sighed, "General, although I am not a good minister, I am unwilling to be the first to perish in the fall of a country."

Ying Ziqing stood up, one arm resting on the scabbard of the Greedy Wolf sword at her waist.

"Lord Xinling did not want to be a victim of a fallen state, but was he willing to watch the entire Wei family perish?"

"I've heard that Lord Xinling's granddaughter is incredibly beautiful. It would be a pity if she were to be torn apart by chariots," Ying Ziqing sighed softly.

Wei Wuji did not respond, but Wei An, who was standing to the side, could no longer hold back. With a wave of his hand, ten swordsmen covered in crimson heavy armor appeared in the secret room and surrounded Ying Ziqing.

These ten men were martial arts assassins trained by Wei An with all the resources of the Wei family.

Each of them possesses the internal energy of the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, and when combined with their battle formation, even a True Spirit Grandmaster might perish.

"Heh, the Wei family has quite the grand display." Ying Ziqing sneered, his powerful and domineering true energy surging and churning around him.

"Does the Commander-in-Chief really intend to be so arbitrary?" Wei Wuji asked in a deep voice.

"Even if I am arbitrary, what can your Wei family do about it?"

With a wave of his hand, Wei Wuji sent the ten crimson-armored warriors charging toward Ying Ziqing. The bronze swords in their hands gleamed with a dark cyan metallic luster, and the internal force of the ten innate masters surged toward Ying Ziqing.

With a flick of her finger, amidst the flashing blades, the Horizontal Wolf Blade pierced the throat of one of the men.

"The battle formation is good, but it's not enough."

Ying Ziqing shifted her body to the side, easily dodging the sword thrusting from behind. She spun the Greedy Wolf Blade in her hand and slashed out. Even the thickest armor could not stop death from coming.

"Enough playing around, it's time to end this." Ying Ziqing muttered to herself, and with a wave of her hand, the golden, domineering inner energy seemed to transform into an invisible blade, instantly piercing through the heads of the remaining eight assassins.

Wei An, standing to the side, covered his face with his hands, staring incredulously at the corpse lying on the ground and Ying Ziqing wiping his sword.

Ying Ziqing planted his knife on the ground and placed his hands on it.

"It seems that the Wei family is not qualified to cooperate with me. I have changed my mind. If you submit to me, the Wei family may live."

After Ying Ziqing finished speaking, before Wei An could react, Wei Wuji knelt down in Ying Ziqing's direction, his wrinkled forehead hitting the ground heavily.

"Father! You..."

"Shut up! The entire Wei family...is willing to submit to the Bad Commander!"

Wei Wuji spoke, each word trembling slightly.

Upon seeing this, Wei An sighed inwardly and knelt down as well, bowing his head to Ying Ziqing and acknowledging his submission.

Ying Ziqing did not look at the kneeling Wei family father and son, but said calmly:

"I will send the Bad Guys to assist your Wei family. What you need to do is... fight against the royal family of Wei."

"Yes, Commander."

Wei Wuji knew that Ying Ziqing's words about sending the Bad Guys were ostensibly to help, but in reality to monitor him. However, he was now at Ying Ziqing's mercy and could not disobey.

"By the way, I'm quite curious about the secrets of the Wei Kingdom back then. I wonder if Lord Xinling could enlighten me?"

A bitter smile appeared on Wei Wuji's face. "As the Commander-in-Chief wishes..."
