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

Late at night, in the main hall of Xianyang, Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips sent from all over the country on his desk, a faint smile on his dignified face.

Now that the lands of Han and Wei have been stabilized, they have begun to supply troops and provisions to the war behemoth that is Qin. The harvests in other parts of Qin are far better than the year before last. With the Bad People in charge of intelligence throughout the land, Qin can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.

Furthermore, thanks to the Grand Marshal's strategies for governing the country, the development and rise of the Qin Dynasty was like a runaway horse, unstoppable by anyone.

Thinking of the Bad Commander, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh:

"Truly, Heaven has shown mercy to our Great Qin, bestowing upon us such an unparalleled talent..."

I wonder how the commander of the Great Qin's forces is doing in the northern border..."

Seeing the abundant reserves of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng was already eager to launch a war of annihilation.

And at this moment,

A tall and imposing figure suddenly appeared in the main hall.

It was none other than Ying Ziqing, the unruly commander who was still on Ying Zheng's mind, wearing scarlet armor.

"It seems His Majesty is already eager to launch a national war..."

A look of joy appeared on Ying Zheng's face as he stood up.

"How did the General's journey to Loulan go?"

"Hehe... Loulan has already belonged to my Great Qin, and the reason I have returned to Xianyang is precisely for Jing Ke's mission."

Ying Zheng was somewhat puzzled and asked:

"Why is the commander so concerned about Jing Ke's mission?"

"Firstly, Jing Ke was ostensibly sent as an envoy to the Qin state, but in reality, he intended to assassinate the King of Qin. The Crown Prince of Yan even sent Six-Fingered Black Knight to infiltrate the Qin state."

Secondly, our Great Qin can use Jing Ke's assassination attempt on the King of Qin as a pretext to launch a military attack on the State of Zhao!

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's face showed a look of sudden realization. He was just worried that his strategist had no right to speak, but he never expected that Yan and Zhao would offer him the title on their own initiative.

"So, does the commander-in-chief intend to attack Zhao, or to join forces with Yan and Zhao together...?"

Ying Zheng stopped there, because even if the mighty Qin Dynasty could win a direct attack on the states of Yan and Zhao, it would be a difficult situation.

However, this would take a considerable amount of time, and if the states of Qi and Chu were to launch a joint attack on Qin's homeland, it could potentially plunge Qin into a quagmire...

“Indeed, this general intends to press on and annihilate both Yan and Zhao in one fell swoop.” Although Ying Ziqing’s hoarse voice was very calm, the bloodshed contained within it made Ying Zheng pause in surprise.

"This...I wonder if the commander is confident?" Ying Zheng thought he was very brave, but he didn't expect the commander to be much braver than him.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. This time, I went to Loulan and found the mechanical artifacts that Chi You once used to dominate the Central Plains, including the Demon God."

The Gongshu clan has now been ordered to expedite the construction; by then...

I will personally lead the military legion and cavalry to strike at the heart of the enemy and destroy the central government of the Yan and Zhao states.

Then they will return south to confront Qi and Chu. At that time, the king will send Wang Jian with a large army to completely recover the lands of Yan and Zhao.

Ying Ziqing's words enlightened Ying Zheng. Moreover, since Ying Ziqing began leading his troops, he had never been defeated in any war, large or small, and had always won with overwhelming advantages.

Therefore, Ying Zheng felt that he must have been absolutely certain before revealing these plans.

So he solemnly said:

"General, you can conquer all directions with peace of mind. I will take care of you from the rear so that you have no worries."

Ying Ziqing nodded slightly. It was a pleasure to cooperate with a monarch as charismatic as Ying Zheng.

"General, when Jing Ke attends court tomorrow, should we take him into custody?"

"It's alright. I will personally attend the morning court tomorrow and will ensure the King's safety."

"Handsome~"

——Dividing——Line——

the next morning,

In the imperial court of Xianyang Palace, all the civil and military officials stood on the left and right sides.

Ying Ziqing, dressed in a robe and armor with a scarlet faceplate and the Chi You Demon Sword, which was constantly emitting black energy, hanging at his waist, stood at the forefront of the civil and military officials with his arms crossed.

An invisible pressure silenced all the civil and military officials around him; none dared to look up, for Ying Ziqing's very presence was synonymous with fear.

Ying Zheng, seated high on the central throne, wore a black and gold dragon robe. With a flick of his sleeve, his face, exuding an imposing aura, remained expressionless.

At that moment, the eunuch's voice rang out from outside the door:

"Jing Ke, the envoy from Yan and Zhao, arrived at the King of Qin at the age of 61."

Jing Ke and Liu Yi entered the court and knelt down to pay their respects.

Ying Ziqing remained indifferent, not even glancing at Jing Ke or the Six-Fingered Black Knight disguised as Liu Yi. He merely exuded a faint aura of power, causing the air in the entire hall to grow colder.

Jing Ke and the Six-Fingered Black Knight instantly felt the oppressive aura emanating from Ying Ziqing.

The two men's expressions turned somewhat grim; they hadn't expected Ying Ziqing to return to Xianyang so quickly.

With this ruthless and cunning man present, their chances of a successful assassination are practically zero.

Even so, the die was cast and could not be cast; both Jing Ke and the Six-Fingered Black Knight were aware of this.

Jing Ke looked up at Ying Zheng, who sat high on the throne, bowed, and said:

"Jing Ke, the envoy from Yan and Zhao, pays his respects to the King of Qin. The two kings of Yan and Zhao sent me to Qin to offer up the land of Yan and Zhao that borders Qin for a thousand miles, as a token of our desire to maintain friendly relations with Qin forever."

"Oh? Where's the map? Why don't you bring it out so I can take a look?" Ying Zheng's calm and authoritative voice was filled with arrogance and disdain.

Jing Ke bowed his head and agreed, then ordered Liu Yi, who was carrying the wooden box, to go forward with him and present the map to the King of Qin.

Jing Ke and the Six-Fingered Black Knight arrived at a distance of three steps from Ying Zheng.

Jing Ke opened the wooden box and took out the scroll inside.

What they didn't notice was that as the scroll slowly unfurled, a strange smile crept onto Ying Ziqing's lips at the head of the painting...
