Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Ji Wuye was hailed as the strongest general in the history of the Korean Kingdom.

This is not entirely boasting. Back when Han Chu attacked Baiyue, he did indeed take the lead and made considerable contributions.

However, as the years have passed, he has gradually become tainted by the marks left by time.

The valiant General Ji Wuye has long since disappeared, leaving only a powerful minister who is immersed in his past achievements, gradually becoming greedy and manipulating the politics of the Han Dynasty.

Ying Jing's choice of him as a partner was somewhat out of necessity.

South Korea is absolutely terrible!

Ying Jing couldn't find any other suitable partners, not even Zhang Kaidi, the prime minister who had served three generations of Han kings.

King Han An was a complete idiot; Ji Wuye and his Nightfall faction held absolute control over military, political, financial, and intelligence matters...

It was more accurate to say that the Korean state belonged to the Great General than to the King of Han.

However, Ying Jing didn't care who he cooperated with.

Ying Jing didn't care about sacrificing some benefits for the time being.

Ultimately, the Qin army conquered the world, and all the petty gains that were sacrificed now will be returned.

However, the fact that the goods being transported by the caravan were robbed made Ying Jing somewhat concerned.

Ying Jing's partners were all powerful figures from the six kingdoms.

Ji Wuye, the Grand General of Han; Guo Kai, the Chancellor of Zhao; Wei Yong, the Grand Minister of Works of Wei; Huang Xie, the Lord of Chunshen of Chu; Yan Chunjun of Yan; and Hou Sheng, the Chancellor of Qi.

Apart from Lord Chunshen, Huang Xie, one of the Four Lords of the Warring States, who was slightly better, none of the others were any good!

If the goods are robbed the first time and Yingjing doesn't react much, it won't be long before it happens a second or third time.

The benefits are exciting.

While they have certainly reaped huge profits through their cooperation with Ying Jing over the years, who would refuse to gain even more!

Therefore, Ying Jing had to react to the robbery of the caravan's goods, and Ji Wuye also had to give an explanation.

"Ji Wuye's reply was that they are still investigating and will inform us once they have the results."

The embroiderer reported truthfully. As the woman who had followed Ying Jing the longest and was the most trusted by him, she had been helping Ying Jing deal with the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) all these years.

Listening to the embroiderer's report, Ying Jing remained expressionless, but a purple dragon slowly emerged from the palm of his hand behind his back.

Compared to four years ago, this purple dragon is now much more agile, and its scales are incredibly lifelike.

"What's the news from the Straw Raincoat Guy's side?"

Having completely taken control of the Luo Wang, this deadly weapon, Ying Jing certainly wouldn't let it stop there.

However, Ying Jing has shifted his focus regarding the positioning of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

There are fewer missions involving direct assassination; more missions involve infiltration and stealth.

Over the years, Luo Wang's infiltration of the six states of Shandong has never stopped. Even in South Korea, where Luo Wang's influence has always been relatively weak, they have planted many hidden agents.

The Straw-Clad Swordsman, who was in charge of intelligence control under Ji Wuye, has now defected to the Luo Wang.

Night fell over South Korea, and a net of traps spread, encompassing all seven kingdoms of the world!

"According to the information from the Straw-Cloaked Man, Ji Wuye is also very angry, but he still hasn't been able to find out who did it..."

The embroiderer's answer surprised Ying Jing somewhat.

In South Korea, someone actually managed to bypass Ji Wuye and steal his goods.

Ying Jing clenched his fists behind his back, and the azure sky over Hanoi seemed to suddenly dim considerably.

His tone remained calm: "No matter who did it, Ji Wuye is the local bigwig. Make him give an explanation and compensate us for our losses."

By cooperating with nobles from various countries, Ying Jing had contributed benefits, so these powerful figures naturally had to fulfill their obligations to ensure the safety of the caravan.

Regardless of who was behind this, Ying Jing only needs to let Ji Wuye take responsibility.

As for whether Ji Wuye would refuse...

Brother Zheng hasn't been working for nothing all these years!

Due to the butterfly effect brought about by Ying Jing, Ying Zheng seized power earlier, and Lü Buwei was constantly suppressed and lost his former authority.

The Qin state valued a merit-based system of nobility, and Ying Zheng, as the King of Qin, needed to achieve territorial expansion in order to truly gain the trust of his civil and military officials.

Therefore, he has also launched some wars over the years.

Due to the deaths of Lord Xinling and the Grand General, the State of Wei was in chaos. The veteran general Meng Ao conquered twenty cities in Wei as he attacked and captured them!

However, the war against Zhao, launched to avenge the five states' attack on Qin, did not go smoothly after that.

Because Cheng Jiao rebelled in Tunliu, and at the same time, a lot of rumors spread that Ying Zheng was not the biological son of the late king.

Ying Zheng dispatched a large army to suppress the rebellion. Cheng Jiao eventually fled to the State of Zhao, but Ying Jing personally ordered the Six Sword Slaves to behead her.

The rumors not only affected Ying Zheng, but also made Zhao Ji extremely resentful.

Even setting aside feelings, Ying Jing had gained so much from Zhao Ji that he naturally wanted to help her vent her anger.

This incident did not have a substantial impact on Ying Zheng, but it did affect his prestige to some extent.

He needs to achieve even greater things to solidify his authority!

Ideally, it would be the achievement of destroying a nation!

Given the right opportunity and the right reason, Ying Zheng would certainly not hesitate to destroy the state of Han.

In Wusui, on the border between Qin and Han, 100,000 heavily armored soldiers from Pingyang were already sharpening their swords!

If Ji Wuye dares to have any wicked thoughts, Ying Jing wouldn't mind giving him a little push and showing him what a dimensional reduction attack is.

If you mess with my caravan, I'll destroy your entire country!

"However, the Zheng Guo Canal is still under construction, and there are still some issues to be addressed at the Wusui Camp..."

"It's best to wait until the war of annihilation is absolutely necessary. King Huanhui of Han's strategy of exhausting Qin back then really allowed Han to prolong its life for a few more years."

This is also related to the fact that Qin Shi Huang has never started another war.

Because of Qin's strength, Han was unable to resist, so it devised a plan to wear down Qin.

The state of Han sent a water conservancy expert named Zheng Guo to help the state of Qin build the Zheng Guo Canal, which diverted water from the Jing River in the west to the Luo River in the east.

The construction of the Zheng Guo Canal has been extremely costly and time-consuming, and it has been eight years since then, yet it is still not completed.

The advantage is that once completed, the Zheng Guo Canal will be able to irrigate 40,000 hectares of farmland.

At that time, Qin's conquest of unifying the world would be free of any worries!

"There is one more thing. Han Fei and Li Si, whom you instructed us to keep an eye on, have already departed from Xiaoshengxianzhuang."

"Based on their route, Li Si seemed to be heading straight for Qin, while Han Fei was going back to Han."

The embroiderer reported another piece of information.

This time, Ying Jing's expression also showed some regret.

"Without realizing it, it's already this time..."

But Ying Jing didn't sigh for long.

Because Jingni had already brought a little creature with a pink jade bracelet in her arms to his front.

Ying Jing smiled gently and embraced Jing Ni and the child together.

This child, named Ying Yan, was born a year ago, and Ying Zheng bestowed upon her the title of Princess Yan.

The excitement and bewilderment of arriving in this world are still fresh in my memory, but now... Ying Jing is already the father of her child!
