Chat group: In Daqin, Dongjun brought happiness to us

Chapter 143: Mandated by Heaven, Live Long and Prosper! A World in the Qin Dynasty Where Fate Reversed!

Although most of the philosophers would not have any desire to covet a priceless treasure like the He Shi Bi, among the hundreds of schools of thought,

But there are exceptions.

For example, the Yin-Yang School was very curious about this beautiful jade that the Qin State was willing to exchange for fifteen cities.

Unfortunately, the Heshi Bi has been completely lost since Lin Xiangru returned it to Zhao. Although it is rumored to have been preserved in Zhao State, no one has ever seen it.

If two pieces of a precious treasure like the Heshi Bi really appeared at the same time, it would be impossible for there to be no news for such a long time.

Considering what Ying An had just said, that there would soon be only one Heshi Bi in the world, Dongjun had an extremely bold idea in mind.

The Heshi Bi in my husband's hand is fake! !

In other words, the Heshi Bi in my husband's hand is not the legendary Heshi Bi that coined the term "priceless".

After all, Dongjun has now cultivated his soul to the ghost fairy realm that can break the barrier of life and death. Even though he witnessed the scene of the He Shi Bi's strange phenomena just now, Dongjun still retained some doubts in his heart.

On the other hand, Nongyu was completely absorbed in her zither skills, not caring about the priceless treasure at all. She didn't even have any doubts about Ying An's statement.

Yan Lingji and the others were no exception. In their eyes, apart from Ying An, everything else was unimportant.

Not long after Ying An put away the Heshi Bi and Dongjun arrived outside the mansion, they saw the King of Qin's carriage driving silently towards them.

After welcoming Ying Zheng into the mansion.

As soon as he entered the room, Ying Zheng got straight to the point: "An'er, what happened just now? Why was there such a big commotion?"

After just a moment of thought, Ying An flipped the He Shi Bi with his hand, and the He Shi Bi, which was missing a corner and filled with gold, suddenly appeared in front of Ying Zheng.

Gai Nie, who was accompanying Ying Zheng, frowned when he saw the He Shi Bi.

Although he didn't know why, the moment he saw the Heshi Bi, Gai Nie felt a sense of crisis. It was as if this seal, seemingly carved from the finest jade, possessed a power he couldn't comprehend.

That's right! !

After the He Shi Bi burst out a beam of light that shot into the sky and infused an inexplicable power into Ying An's body.

The Heshi Bi seemed to have completely lost its divine power. Although it still looked like a priceless gem, it no longer emitted the terrifying vibrations it once did in the Tang Dynasty. Even a Grandmaster would risk losing their Qi and becoming possessed by the waves.

Now, the supernatural power of the He Shi Bi has completely fallen into Ying An's control.

As long as Ying An had the idea, the He Shi Bi's terrifying power could instantly drive any warrior around him into insanity.

Although Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were indeed the least promising disciples of Zong Heng, it was undeniable that the two brothers did possess astonishing talent in martial arts.

Apart from other things, Gai Nie's title of future Sword Saint, apart from being the swordsmanship teacher of the Qin Emperor, was earned entirely by his tyrannical strength.

Before they even started, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang's combined strength was enough to deal with Luo Wang's assassins. Their powerful martial arts cultivation complemented Gai Nie's unprecedented martial arts perception.

In some mysterious way, he sensed the threat from the Heshi Bi even before it had even displayed any of its power! !

"What is this?" Ying Zheng frowned. He had also cultivated his soul to the ghost fairy realm. Although Ying Zheng felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Ying An to take out a repaired seal inlaid with gold with his identity.

But Ying Zheng would never underestimate this seal.

"Father, this is the Heshi Bi that King Zhaoxiang wanted to exchange for fifteen cities but failed." Ying An said.

After a moment's thought, Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "Impossible. I have seen the Heshi Bi before, and this is definitely not the Heshi Bi!"

"Oh?" Ying An was genuinely curious. He also wanted to know if the Heshi Bi in this world had any unique features. "If I remember correctly, the Heshi Bi should be the most precious treasure of the State of Zhao. How did my father come across the Heshi Bi?"

The only people who actually saw the Heshi Bi in the Qin Dynasty were King Zhaoxiang of Qin and his contemporaries. After all, ever since Lin Xiangru's stunt of returning the Heshi Bi to Zhao, the Qin State has been completely relegated to the role of the villain in the story.

Since then, the Heshi Bi has been kept in the Zhao Kingdom's treasury. Given Ying Zheng's status, it is reasonable to say that he would never have the opportunity to see the Heshi Bi.

Hearing Ying An's question, Ying Zheng's face instantly turned gloomy, as if he was recalling some unbearable memory.

After a long moment, Ying Zheng said in a heavy voice, "Back then, I was a hostage in Handan, Zhao State. I was repeatedly humiliated. Once, Zhao State deliberately let me see the Heshi Bi and mocked me with their words! It was because of this that I finally saw the Heshi Bi."

Ying Zheng obviously didn't want to tell anyone about his past unbearable experiences.

In other words, it was Ying An who was asking this question. Otherwise, if it were someone else, Ying Zheng probably wouldn't have opened his mouth at all.

Even so, Ying Zheng's explanation was vague.

The moment he finished speaking, Ying Zheng asked directly, "This item isn't the Heshi Bi, but An'er insists on calling it the Heshi Bi. Could it be that there's something mysterious about the Heshi Bi?"

"Father, what do you think of using this as the seal of the Great Qin?"

Ying Zheng gave Ying An a meaningful look and said, "The golden horn and jade body does have some flaws after all."

"That's fine. Once we unify the world and seize the Heshi Bi from Zhao, we'll naturally have a chance to complete the task."

This time, Ying Zheng did not rush to answer, but stretched out his hand.

Ying An understood instantly and handed the He Shi Bi to Ying Zheng.

After taking the Heshi Bi and examining it for a moment, Ying Zheng was startled when he saw the familiar eight characters underneath the Heshi Bi.

Mandated by Heaven; May you live long and prosper forever!!

The moment he saw these eight characters, Ying Zheng recognized them as Li Si's handwriting. Although the font was slightly different from the Qin seal script he was familiar with, Ying Zheng could recognize it at a glance. This was clearly a new style of writing that was a direct descendant of the Qin seal script.

Moreover, compared with Qin seal script, the eight characters under the seal are clearer.

"What a man who has been given a mandate by Heaven, may he live forever!"

As his fingers lightly brushed across the eight small seal characters, Ying Zheng inexplicably had an epiphany in his heart.

If I agree to Ying An's request, I'm afraid that this seal will definitely bring me untold benefits. Not only for myself, but also for the entire Qin Empire! !

Chapter 144: Ying Zheng's defense is broken! Learn about the future history, the eternal tyrant Qin Shi Huangdi!

If someone else had presented him with such a grand gift, Ying Zheng might have had some reservations. After all, the piercing light that had just emanated from the Heshi Bi was enough to convey the extraordinary nature of this seal.

In Ying Zheng's opinion, no one except Ying An would give away such a treasure. Even he, the King of Qin, was no exception.

After all, how can the wealth in the world compare to one's own strength?

Since Ying An was able to deliver the Dragon Ball to him and taught him the soul inheritance that could break the barrier between life and death, it is only natural for him to send him such a seal now.

The eight large characters below the Heshi Bi, which were very similar to Qin seal script, made Ying Zheng extremely satisfied.

"Okay!" Ying Zheng glanced at Ying An and nodded directly, even choosing to hand the Heshi Bi to Gai Nie beside him. "I will announce in the court tomorrow that this seal is the seal of the Great Qin!"

"Thank you, father!" Ying An seemed to not care at all about the ownership of the Heshi Bi. It was as if he was truly loyal to Ying Zheng, even at the expense of his own interests.

"An'er, what do you want?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

Ever since the Dragon Ball, Ying Zheng has truly felt how precious the treasures Ying An gave him are.

After all, Ying Zheng is the King of Qin. Since he has accepted Ying An's good things, he should at least show his kindness as a father.

Ying An was straightforward and said, "Father has also seen the flaws of the Heshi Bi. If we want to make up for it, we must unify the world in the shortest possible time."

With a thought in mind, Ying Zheng asked, "In the shortest possible time?"

Frowning, Ying Zheng continued, "Although I have now completely taken control of the Qin Empire, I have yet to fully implement my will throughout the nation. If I were to dispatch troops at this time, I'm afraid something might go wrong."

"What if we just want to destroy South Korea?"

Shaking his head, Ying Zheng said, "Unifying the world must be accomplished in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, if the six states in Shandong are given a chance to breathe, I'm afraid that our Great Qin may not be able to achieve our goal smoothly!"

Since becoming the King of Qin, although Ying Zheng has only now truly grasped the power, but before that, even under the oppression of Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng never relaxed his plan to unify the world.

After countless calculations, Ying Zheng had already eliminated countless wrong options in his mind.

Among these, starting well but ending badly is undoubtedly the most taboo choice.

In addition, making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones is also the key to the big game in Ying Zheng's mind.

Hearing Ying An's proposal to destroy Han first, Ying Zheng suddenly felt a surge of paternal affection. Ying An's previous methods, so godlike and demonic, had truly shaken Ying Zheng deeply.

As a father, he didn't feel any sense of accomplishment in front of his son. This was what made Ying Zheng most helpless when dealing with Ying An.

"If my father doesn't mind, I'd like to be the vanguard in destroying Han," Ying An said decisively. "Although my father hasn't yet fully implemented your will in the Qin Empire, my father should know that with our strength, even if the whole world rebels, who can do anything to us, father and son?"

Ying Zheng looked at Ying An with some surprise.

Having cultivated his spirit to the Ghost Immortal realm, Ying Zheng was well aware that while Ghost Immortal cultivators could remain immortal, mortals were not without their own methods. Even martial arts masters could inflict harm on Ghost Immortals. As for the mortal armies, the malevolent aura of their formations alone was enough to overwhelm the spirits of Ghost Immortals, completely wiping them out.

The only explanation for Ying An's words now was that his strength had completely transformed to the point where he could ignore numbers. Human power could no longer pose any threat to him.

Looking deeply at Ying An, Ying Zheng suddenly felt a little depressed.

"If I give you an army of 100,000, can you destroy the two countries of Han and Zhao?" Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice.

As expected of an emperor of all ages, the desolation in his heart vanished in an instant. Ying Zheng quickly figured out the crux of the matter.

In fact, it is not difficult for the Qin State to destroy Han and Zhao. The real difficulty lies in how to prevent the other party from making a comeback after destroying the country!

Although the six states in Shandong were scheming against each other, they were often surprisingly consistent in dealing with the issues concerning the Qin Dynasty!

The several times that the six countries joined forces are the most vivid examples.

Ying Zheng did not want that after spending a huge price to destroy the Kingdom of Han and the Kingdom of Zhao, these two stumbling blocks that blocked the Qin Dynasty's eastward expansion would soon resurface.

The reason why Ying Zheng only gave Ying An an army of 100,000 was that he was preventing a possible restoration after the fall of the two countries.

Ying An said without even thinking: "Sure!!"

"Alright!! Then tomorrow at the court, while I announce the imperial seal, I will appoint you as general and hand over the heavy responsibility of destroying both Han and Zhao to you!"

"Thank you, Father!" Ying An bowed and said, "I hope you won't leak any information about the court. After all, I must destroy the Kingdom of Han and marry the Korean princess first!"

Ying Zheng looked strange for a moment, then burst into laughter, saying, "I only gave you 100,000 Qin troops, but asked you to destroy the two countries of Han and Zhao. After all, I have treated you unfairly. In that case, I will give you a compensation. After the two countries of Han and Zhao are destroyed, all the women will be handed over to you for disposal!!"

He was stunned at first, then Ying An quickly realized that Ying Zheng must have misunderstood what he meant.

After all, in Ying Zheng's view, the reason why he proposed to marry the Korean princess first was ultimately because he couldn't get rid of the reasons of love. Of course, even if he knew that Ying An did this because of Han Fei, Ying Zheng didn't mind at all. From this point of view, he expressed his friendship to Ying An.

A decision concerning the survival of both countries was resolved while Ying Zheng and Ying An were chatting and laughing.

After being sent out of the mansion by Ying An.

As soon as he sat down in the carriage, Ying Zheng heard Gai Nie's puzzled voice.

"Why...why did the king hand over the women of the two countries to Master Ying An?" Gai Nie's face was full of confusion. "If this news gets out, I'm afraid everyone in the world will think that Master Ying An is a lecher!!"

"I know!" Ying Zheng sighed, "But I am the true king after all. My actions, and An'er's unhesitating agreement, are simply a tacit understanding between us, father and son."

Although Gai Nie didn't grasp the essence of the theory of diplomacy, he was a smart man after all. After Ying Zheng's reminder, he quickly understood.

Although Ying An and Ying Zheng seemed to have a deep father-son relationship, in fact, Ying An's existence had begun to affect Ying Zheng, the King of Qin.

Ying An's acceptance of Ying Zheng's proposal was just a compromise between the two parties.

On top of the carriage.

Ying Zheng was flipping through the Heshi Bi in his hand, which was completely different from what he had imagined, and he felt a huge curiosity in his heart.

As a gust of cold wind blew by, a wisp of soul and thought instantly flew out of Ying Zheng's body and fell straight towards the Heshi Bi.

At the moment when the soul was about to touch the He Shi Bi, a special power wave instantly burst out from the He Shi Bi.

It was hot and cold, fluctuating like the tide, but it was a force without any regular pattern. It instantly overwhelmed Ying Zheng's thoughts and ideas.

The next moment, Ying Zheng suddenly groaned, his face instantly turning pale.

"Your Majesty!" Even though he was so close, Gai Nie didn't realize what Ying Zheng had just done. But Ying Zheng's muffled groan at that moment made Gai Nie alert instantly.

"It's okay!! I'm fine. Sir, don't worry!" The blood flushed back on his face, but there was a heart-pounding light in Ying Zheng's eyes.

Gai Nie breathed a sigh of relief, clearly sensing that Ying Zheng seemed to be hiding something from him. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Your Majesty, what just happened..."

Ying Zheng's behavior at this moment was something Gai Nie had never seen before. In fact, when facing Ying Zheng, Gai Nie had the illusion that he was facing an enraged dragon.

After exhaling a long breath, Ying Zheng asked, "Sir, do you think I am the eternal tyrant?"

"Why does your Majesty say that?" Gai Nie asked, puzzled. "Given your Majesty's talent, you are probably the only one among the seven kingdoms who can unify the world and end the suffering the people have endured for five hundred years of war. How can you be a tyrant?"

"Yes!" Ying Zheng inexplicably changed his tone and nodded, saying, "I am not a tyrant. Yet, I have been cursed for eternity. Everything has its own cause and effect. Since it is not my fault, yet I have been accused of this crime! Then, sir, what do you think, should I kill the culprit before it's too late?"

Gai Nie felt more and more that the topic that Ying Zheng was discussing at this moment, which seemed to be a casual chat, seemed to be hiding a heavy burden that he could not bear no matter what.

Taking a deep breath, Gai Nie said, "Your Majesty, are you talking about Master Ying An?"

Ying Zheng looked at Gai Nie in astonishment and shook his head, "How could it be An'er? No!! I am in a very difficult situation right now. I cannot have a child like An'er!"

"Is that Prince Fusu?" In Gai Nie's opinion, the only person who could make Ying Zheng sigh so deeply, and even emit a murderous aura, was Fusu.

At the mention of Fusu, Ying Zheng's expression became noticeably more complex. He shook his head and said, "Fusu... He is indeed a filial son. But the future of the Qin Dynasty is something he can never shoulder!"

Gai Nie was startled. Even though he had long suspected that Ying Zheng had become more inclined towards Ying An in his choice of successor, this was the first time he had felt Ying Zheng's attitude so clearly.
