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

In the imperial palace where golden dragons roamed, the dying King Wei leaned against his dragon bed, his half-closed eyelids gazing down at the group of sorrowful court officials below.

He sighed inwardly, then slowly began to speak:

"Where is Wei Jia...? Tell him to come see me."

Just then, Wei Jia stumbled into the main hall. Looking at King Wei, who was leaning against the dragon bed, Wei Jia lowered his head and rubbed his face. Then, with red eyes and a sorrowful expression, he knelt down in front of King Wei's bed.

"Father, I am late..."

The King of Wei looked at his good-for-nothing son with complicated emotions.

Those in the same family know their own situation best. The current situation in the seven kingdoms is turbulent. Qin is eyeing them covetously from the outside, and the Wei family harbors wolfish ambitions from within. Relying solely on his son, who only possesses a little cleverness, and those dutiful ministers, he simply cannot withstand those wolves and tigers.

But at this moment, he was powerless to reverse the situation. As a monarch, all he could do was to do his best for his incompetent son and the declining state of Wei, and leave the rest to fate.

"Wei Jia, come closer to me..."

Wei Jia crawled to the bedside, bowing his head and waiting for the King of Wei to speak.

"Raise your head! The monarch of my Great Wei will never bow his head!" King Wei suddenly shouted, a flush appearing on his face.

Everyone present knew that King Wei's condition was a final burst of energy before his death.

Wei Jia quickly raised his head, and King Wei spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"I have already dispatched all the assassins in the palace to kill everyone in the Wei household. After I die, you will be the new king of Wei. The first thing you must do is cede territory to Zhao."

"What? Why does Father want me to cede territory to Zhao?"

"When you first ascend the throne, the court and the entire state of Wei will inevitably experience some turmoil. In the west, the state of Qin has been eyeing you covetously for a long time. Only by seeking an alliance with the state of Zhao can you deter Qin and secure your position as King of Wei."

As for the rest, that's up to you..."

Then, King Wei struggled to sit up from his dragon bed and looked down at his ministers.

"Gentlemen, the fate of Great Wei rests on your shoulders..."

Then King Wei's body collapsed limply, ending his mediocre life as a monarch.

After the death of the King of Wei, the tears and sorrow in Wei Jia's eyes disappeared, replaced by a deep excitement.

Wei Jia served as crown prince for ten years before finally ascending the throne of power.

at the same time,

The hundreds of assassins sent by the King of Wei had already arrived at the Wei residence under the cover of night.

Then, unexpectedly, the Wei residence was completely empty, except for the white-clad figure sitting in the courtyard playing with a few copper coins.

The royal guards surrounded Hou Qing, and their leader said in a deep voice:

"Tell me where the rest of the Wei family are, and I'll spare your life!"

"Heh." Hou Qing chuckled dismissively, raised a "666" on his eyebrow, and said indifferently:

"Everyone's here, the rest is up to you."

From the shadows, a figure clad in light armor slowly emerged from the darkness, chuckling softly:

"Rest assured, Corpse Ancestor, leave the rest to us. Where are the Bad Guys?"

The next second, the entire roof of the Wei mansion was filled with members of the Bad Guys, wearing straw hats and holding swords.

Five hundred elite members of the Bad Guys had surrounded the Wei residence. As Ying'er drew her sword, a one-sided massacre unfolded under the cover of night.

On a distant pavilion, Wei Wuji and Ying Ziqing, leaning on their canes, stood side by side in front of the railing, watching the flickering firelight of the Wei residence.

Wei Wuji, hunched over, cupped his hands and said:

"General, you saved my entire Wei family. I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace. The entire Wei family will repay you with our lives."

“You, the Wei family, are under my command. Your lives are not for King Wei to take.”

Oh, and I have some good news for you: King Wei is dead, and Wei Jia has succeeded him as the new King Wei.

A complex look flashed in Wei Wuji's eyes. Although he had spent the rest of his life fighting wits and courage against the King of Wei, he could not remain unmoved by the King's death.

Ying Ziqing turned around and walked into the house. "Proceed according to plan tomorrow."

"Yes, sir. We respectfully see you off, Commander."

Ying Ziqing changed out of her bad leader's attire and back into a flowing robe.

Humming a little tune as she walked through the pavilion, Bei Mingzi happened to be walking through the pavilion with Xiao Meng.

Ying Ziqing's gaze inadvertently fell on the long sword at Bei Mingzi's waist, and she let out a soft exclamation.

"Huh, when did the Heavenly Sect start getting involved in worldly affairs?"

Upon hearing this, Bei Mingzi stopped and looked at Ying Ziqing, the words he was about to say stuck in his throat.

As the leader of the Heavenly Sect, Bei Mingzi's strength, including his keen eyesight, has reached a state of perfection.

The moment Bei Mingzi saw Ying Ziqing, his five senses were heightened, and he felt a terrifying and invisible power lurking behind her.

This terrifying power even instilled fear in him.

Just as Bei Mingzi was about to leave with Xiaomeng, he suddenly noticed that Xiaomeng had already walked towards Ying Ziqing.

"Brother, you're so handsome." Xiaomeng said sweetly, looking at Ying Ziqing with her clear and captivating eyes.

Ying Ziqing paused for a moment, then a kind smile appeared on his handsome face. He patted Xiaomeng's head and said:

"You're adorable too, little girl. You'll definitely grow up to be a stunning beauty."

Hearing Ying Ziqing's praise, Xiaomeng blushed and lowered her head shyly.

As Bei Mingzi came over and pulled Xiaomeng to leave, Ying Ziqing called out to him.

"This Taoist priest from the Heavenly Sect, I would like to have a chat with you over tea. Please do not refuse."

Bei Mingzi felt uneasy, but fearing he might offend Ying Ziqing, he dared not refuse and could only obediently follow behind her.

Looking at Xiaomeng following Ying Ziqing like a little shadow, Bei Mingzi secretly lamented to himself, "I didn't even consult the oracle before going out. How careless of me! May the Heavenly Venerable grant me eternal damnation."

Ying Ziqing's invitation to Bei Mingzi was not without reason; he had probably already guessed Bei Mingzi and Xiaomeng's identities. Since the Taoist Heavenly Sect in the anime was on the side of the Great Qin,

Now that he has brought the Taoist Heavenly Sect into the Qin camp ahead of time, it can be considered to be in accordance with the will of Heaven.
