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

dawn,

As the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon, a simple horse-drawn carriage entered the city of Xinzheng.

In the woods,

Tu Su flicked away the blood dripping from his blade, sheathed it, and faced assassins from various factions. He looked at the vigilant members of the Bad Guys around him and said in a deep voice:

"Take away all the corpses of those at or above the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm. Lords Black and White Impermanence need them for cultivation."

The other thugs then began to secretly take action.

This time, Tu Su led the Bad Guys to eliminate most of the assassins sent by various forces and recorded them one by one.

When Ying Zheng's carriage stopped in a quiet and elegant courtyard,

Dressed in a white robe with flowing long hair, Ying Zheng stepped out of the carriage.

In the courtyard, the burly general in purple robes and silver armor was seen fishing by the artificial lake with a fishing rod.

Looking at the empty cushion beside him, Ying Zheng smiled slightly and sat down next to Ying Ziqing.

"I never expected the Commander-in-Chief to have such leisure time."

A hoarse voice came from beneath the scarlet Asura mask, its tone slightly mocking:

"Hehe, after all, I wasn't being chased by that many people."

Ying Zheng smiled helplessly, but he couldn't refute it, since what Ying Ziqing said was true.

Seeing Ying Zheng's discomfiture, Ying Ziqing chuckled and took out a piece of silk from his armor, handing it to Ying Zheng.

"The list here includes all the forces and people who have hunted you down along the way."

Ying Zheng took the silk cloth, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He had just been chased, and the Bad Commander was able to find out which force was behind it. Such terrifying intelligence capabilities were something even the Luo Wang had never achieved.

He unfolded the silk cloth, looked at the list on it, and a chilling murderous intent flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes.

"I never imagined that there would be so many filthy worms in the Qin Kingdom. I beg you, General, to help me cleanse the Qin Kingdom of these troublemakers!"

Ying Ziqing's face remained expressionless, neither sad nor happy, and she said calmly:

"You haven't been very successful as King of Qin. So many people want to harm you. You should know that these people combined constitute a force to be reckoned with in Qin."

So, you'll have to pay extra.

Ying Zheng: Σ(?д?lll)——(?_?)

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, General, I won't take a single penny of the gold and silver treasures that the Bad People get when they clean up these pests."

Ying Ziqing shook his head. "Not enough. Add another three thousand single-armed Qin crossbows and sixty thousand arrows."

Ying Zheng felt a pang of regret, but he still agreed.

The amount of military equipment was neither small nor large, just within his acceptable range.

As for Ying Ziqing's request for this batch of military equipment, one reason was to dispel Ying Zheng's concerns, since an exchange of benefits is what truly matters. The second reason was to arm the yet-to-be-revealed Three Thousand Iron Pagodas with it.

The Qin crossbow was the best among the seven kingdoms, with its damage and accuracy being second to none. And when the invincible Iron Pagoda was equipped with such a Qin crossbow, who in the world could stop them?

Looking at the shimmering lake, Ying Zheng asked:

"Once I have taken control of the Qin state, I intend to wage war across the land and unify the Warring States period. What are your thoughts on this, General?"

Ying Ziqing sat holding the fishing rod, as if in deep meditation, her pale golden eyes fixed on the emerald green lake water.

He said calmly, "The world's affairs are nothing more than a cycle of unity and division, and now it is time for the world to be unified."

"South Korea is now under my control. As for Wei, with its wolfish ambitions, we can eliminate it first. Yan and Zhao are both ruled by incompetent rulers; we can deal with them gradually. Qi is cowardly, and Chu is arrogant and conceited; we can fight them in the final battle."

Ying Zheng nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with the Bad Commander's opinion. However, he added with some concern, "What if Qin's conquest of Wei alarms other states and causes them to unite against Qin?"

Ying Ziqing casually said, "Then let Han destroy Wei. Even if Han annexes Wei, Han's national strength will not be immediately enhanced, nor will it make those countries wary. On the contrary, they will come and take a piece of Wei from Wei."

Then Qin and Han joined forces to attack Zhao and Yan. By then, even if Chu wanted to form an alliance against Qin, it was too late.

Then, great things can be accomplished, and the world will be at peace.

Ying Ziqing's calm tone revealed a domineering confidence.

After listening to Ying Ziqing's plan, Ying Zheng was deeply shocked. Although he aspired to unify the world, he only had a vague idea. Ying Ziqing, on the other hand, had already planned every key step, as if he had the world's affairs under his control.

Ying Zheng rose, straightened his robes, and bowed to Ying Ziqing, saying:

"General, you have a grand vision for the world, and you plan every step carefully. I admire you. If you are willing, I would like to invite you to serve as my Grand Tutor, and bestow upon you the title of Marquis of Guannei, with a fief of ten thousand households."

Ying Zheng genuinely wanted to invite Ying Ziqing to the Qin court. With the help of the Bad Commander, Qin's unification of the world would be just around the corner.

Ying Ziqing smiled slightly and said leisurely:

"I appreciate the King of Qin's good intentions, but I dislike the chaos of the court. As for helping you unify the world, it is simply my wish that the world be united and peaceful as soon as possible."

At this moment, Ying Ziqing's fishing rod trembled, and she raised her hand to flick the rod, causing a large fish to leap out of the water. However, due to excessive force, the fishing line snapped, and the fish fell back into the lake.

A flash of anger crossed Ying Ziqing's face, and she let out a cold snort.

The fiery gold lightning pattern on his forehead lit up.

Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky.

Ying Zheng looked up at the overcast sky and murmured:

Is it going to rain?

"No, it is the wrath of the heavens."

As Ying Ziqing finished speaking, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed across the sky, and a bolt of blazing golden lightning as thick as a water bucket crashed down.

The lightning struck the water, creating a thousand waves, and white mist swirled around the lake's surface.

As the mist dissipated, dozens of large fish floated on the surface of the water, their white bellies turned up, and the aroma of grilled fish could be faintly smelled from them.

Ying Zheng fell silent as he watched the scene unfold before him. So fishing could be like this?

Ying Ziqing remained calm, and with a wave of his hand, he used the power of heaven and earth to carry the freshly killed fish into his system space, to be used later when grilling fish.

Seeing Ying Ziqing's almost otherworldly behavior, Ying Zheng was secretly astonished. Just how profound was the Bad Commander's cultivation? He could even summon heavenly lightning. His admiration for the Bad Commander grew even stronger.

At this moment, Ying Ziqing put away his fishing rod, patted his armor, and said, "The big fish has finally arrived."

At that moment, a figure dressed in light black and red armor suddenly appeared on the wall.

He held a cyan sword in his hand, and two long swords wrapped in black cloth were stuck in his back.

Not far away, Gai Nie, a guard standing in front of Ying Zheng, drew his long sword and stared at the figure, saying in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, be careful! That's the Eight Linglong, a top-tier assassin group."

P.S.: Thank you so much to my dear brother who stayed up all night as a panda for the generous donation! I'll give him an extra chapter tomorrow! ('w')

I went to see it last night, it was really amazing! You should go see it!
