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

Ying Ziqing picked up the wine cup, faced Lü Buwei, and casually poured the wine into the ground.

The surrounding officials stared in shock at Ying Ziqing's actions.

Spilling wine on the ground is something only someone dying would do. Was he cursing Prime Minister Lü?!

Seeing Ying Ziqing's actions, Lü Buwei's face flashed with embarrassment, but he quickly put down the wine cup he was holding and asked with a smile:

"Why does the young master do this?"

After pouring the wine, Ying Ziqing sat back down and threw a severed arm out of the system space.

The arm rolled to Lü Buwei's side.

He looked down and saw a spiderweb tattoo on his arm.

Ying Ziqing's calm voice resonated in the ears of everyone present.

"I suppose Prime Minister Lü is hosting this banquet to celebrate my return from the brink of death? On my way back home, I was ambushed by a group of assassins from the Luo Wang organization. Oh no, it should be said that it's a welcome from Prime Minister Lü, isn't it?"

Others also noticed the distinctive spiderweb-like marks on Luo Wang's arm, and everyone in Qin knew that Luo Wang was under Lü Buwei's control.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and began to whisper among themselves.

Lü Buwei glanced at the crowd and Ying Ziqing, who had a mocking expression, and coughed.

He said with a hint of sadness in his voice:

"Your Highness, I truly know nothing about this. As everyone knows, the people in the Net are a mixed bag. I can only try my best to restrain them, but there are times when my reach is limited."

"However, I am willing to guarantee to you, young master, that I will thoroughly investigate and find out who attacked you. I will repay them a hundredfold!" Lü Buwei solemnly promised.

His expression suggested that the matter had absolutely nothing to do with him, and he also showed his concern and indignation for his son.

"A hundredfold return?"

Ying Ziqing patted his hand, staring intently at Lü Buwei, a faint golden light seemingly shining in his eyes.

"Well said. I will make that person taste the pain of being torn to pieces and split apart by five horses."

For some reason, looking into Ying Ziqing's eyes, Lü Buwei suddenly felt a strange sense of fear.

Lu Buwei suppressed the pounding in his heart and said with a fake smile:

"Haha, young master, you must let this old man have a look at you then."

Ying Ziqing glanced meaningfully at the fake smile on Lü Buwei's face.

"Ah, definitely."

The banquet then returned to a false atmosphere of merriment. Everyone tacitly agreed not to discuss what had just happened, and Lü Buwei did not try to force Ying Ziqing to take sides.

It was pointless anyway. The officials present weren't fools, and they naturally realized that Ying Ziqing and Lü Buwei were not on the same side at all.

Half an hour later, Ying Ziqing grew tired of the singers' performances, finding them bland and uninteresting compared to her own, so she got up to leave.

At this moment, Lü Buwei also strolled over leisurely.

He said kindly:

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I have prepared a small gift for you tonight."

Ying Ziqing became somewhat interested and followed Lü Buwei into the side room.

In the side room,

Two well-proportioned young women dressed in tight leather outfits stood quietly here.

Ying Ziqing scrutinized the two men's almost identical faces and the similar-looking longswords behind them.

A slight smile played on her lips. "Sisters of Soul Extinction and Spirit Reincarnation, huh? Interesting."

Lü Buwei said with a smile:

“Your Highness, these are Soul Extinction and Soul Reversal. They are twin sisters, and they are the most suitable sword servants for the second of the Eight Swords of Yue King, Soul Extinction and Soul Reversal. At such a young age, they have already entered the early stage of the Innate Realm. The two are of one mind, and they will surely serve Your Highness well.”

Ying Ziqing nodded in satisfaction. "Prime Minister Lü, I really like your gift."

After saying that, he embraced the two women on his left and right and left gracefully.

After Ying Ziqing left,

A middle-aged man appeared behind Lü Buwei, his eyes covered by a black ribbon.

He carried a barely noticeable sword on his back.

Without turning his head, Lü Buwei asked indifferently:

"If we cut off the water supply, what do you think the success rate of this plan is?"

The blindfolded man, known as Duan Shui, calmly replied:

"No more than 50%."

Lu Buwei stroked his beard, recalling the unease Ying Ziqing had given him earlier, and gave the order:

"Go and keep an eye on him yourself. Report back immediately if anything seems amiss."

Duan Shui cupped his hands in greeting, his breath gradually weakening, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.

On the carriage, Ying Ziqing didn't pay much attention to the Soul-Destroying and Spirit-Turning Sisters. After all, Lü Buwei's intention in giving these two sisters to her was already quite clear, but Ying Ziqing didn't care at all. They were just two tools given to her for free.

He then began to examine his gains from the banquet within his mind.

Because he directly confronted Lü Buwei, the system rewarded him with three fishing opportunities.

In return for accepting the Soul-Destroying Transformation Elixir, the system rewarded the user with two more fishing opportunities.

Just as Ying Ziqing was debating whether to use it or not, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Jing Xinmo's voice rang out from outside the carriage.

"Young master, someone is being chased ahead."

Ying Ziqing stepped out of the carriage and looked in the direction of the sound.

A woman dressed in a light blue gauze dress, clutching her right arm, was running towards Ying Ziqing, followed by several servants wielding iron swords.

After seeing the woman's face clearly, Ying Ziqing revealed a strange smile. This was truly a case of biting off more than he could chew, Lü Buwei.

"Mirror Heart Demon, go and deal with those servants."

Upon seeing the woman, Jingxinmo's eyes first showed a hint of suspicion, but upon hearing the commander's order, he immediately threw out several hidden darts.

The hidden dart accurately struck all the servants chasing after the woman, and they were already on the verge of death.

Seeing that all the people chasing her were dead, the woman in the gauze dress stopped and looked at the calm-faced Ying Ziqing. She then managed a weak bow, clutching her right arm.

"Thank you for your help, young master. However, the people who are chasing me are very powerful. You should leave as soon as possible." The woman's voice was filled with a pitiful and weak tone.

Hearing the woman's words, Mirror Heart Demon frowned and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the delicate woman.

Just as he was about to say something to Ying Ziqing,

Ying Ziqing, however, said firmly:

"How could I be the kind of person who would stand by and watch someone die? Even when saving someone, one should see it through to the end. Besides, the young lady is injured. Why don't you come to my residence for a while to recuperate?"

Hearing her master's righteous words, Jingxinmo swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Her master was so shrewd that he must have already known that this woman was suspicious.

After hesitating for a long time, the delicate woman boarded the carriage with Ying Ziqing's help.
