In the next room.
When Ying An proposed to Zhang Kaidi and Ji Wuye that Han should cede territory, Wei Zhuang, Zi Nu and Zhang Liang all fell silent.
At this moment, the ambitions when establishing Quicksand were shattered in the face of cruel reality.
Although Wei Zhuang still harbored some resentment towards Han Guo, he also grew up there. Han Guo's current weak position reminded him once again of the immense difficulty of defeating his senior brother, Gai Nie.
Unlike Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu, the only one who is truly sad for the entire Kingdom of Korea is Zhang Liang.
However, the three of them soon stopped caring about being immersed in grief.
Because Li Si's voice had clearly reached their ears.
In fact, in the eyes of the truly smart people in the world, Qin has indeed become the only choice for unifying the world in the future.
However, no one would have thought that the Qin State would unify the six kingdoms so quickly, even to the point where many people were caught off guard.
When Li Si asked Ying An about his opinion on the position of crown prince.
Wei Zhuang, Zhang Liang, and Zi Nu suddenly felt that if the next King of Qin was indeed Ying An, then perhaps the young man who had disguised himself for sixteen years would be the one to unify the world in the future!
For a moment, the three of them not only pricked up their ears, but also listened carefully to the conversation between Ying An and Li Si next door.
Ying An seemed to have forgotten the existence of the Quicksand Trio next door. Facing Li Si's question, he remained calm and said, "Mr. Li Si, matters concerning the crown prince should be addressed to my brother!"
Upon hearing this, Li Si bowed and said, "Excuse me, Li Si, but do you really have no intention of becoming the King of Qin?"
Chapter 78: Ying Zheng's suspicion! Are you really my son? Immortal Immortal!
The moment he finished speaking, Li Si stared at Ying An without blinking.
It was as if he wanted to capture every subtle change in expression on his face.
When Li Si pretended to want to see through Ying An's true thoughts.
At this moment, Jingwei, who had left not long ago, finally returned.
What was surprising was that Jingwei was alone when he left, but came back with three people.
And except for Jingwei himself, the two men who returned with him were all disguised.
Next to Ying An and others, while waiting to see what kind of response Ying An would give to Li Si, Wei Zhuang suddenly seemed to sense something, and a terrifying fighting spirit instantly burst out of his eyes.
"Mr. Wei Zhuang, you are..." Zhang Liang lowered his voice and looked at Wei Zhuang in confusion.
"Brother?" Wei Zhuang seemed to be confirming something, his fighting spirit growing stronger. He leaped up, drawing his sword!
The terrifying sword intent instantly rose from Wei Zhuang's body.
Of the two men who returned with Jingwei, the one holding the long sword also had a sideways look on his face, and asked in a tone full of astonishment, "Xiaozhuang?"
"Sir, what's this..." The man with a silver mask covering most of his face asked his companion in confusion.
"Master Shang!" The housekeeper finally reacted.
That's right! !
The two men who came back with Jingwei were none other than Ying Zheng and Gai Nie from Bailongyufu.
Coincidentally, when Ying Zheng was thinking of going to the Qin State Hall to meet Ying An, he happened to meet Jing Niu who was returning from the Luowang stronghold on the road.
Although neither Gai Nie nor Ying Zheng knew Jing Nie, Gai Nie recognized Jing Nie's identity through Jing Nie's sword.
After all, when Ying An left Xianyang City, Jingwei, the graceful and cold beauty, was given to Ying An by Lu Buwei.
Even more coincidentally, Gai Nie happened to know that the Eight Swords of Yue Wang were the standard equipment for Luowang's Tianzi Killers. In fact, once an assassin became a Tianzi Killer, he would be named after the sword if he was qualified to wield such a famous sword.
After all, Luowang was controlled by Lu Buwei. When they first met, Gai Nie almost had a conflict with Jing Niu.
Who made Ying Zheng hide the White Dragon Fish's surrender from everyone this time? The key person was Lu Buwei.
Who knows if Jingniu, the Luowang assassin, will bring danger to Ying Zheng once he knows his identity?
After a brief confrontation, the two sides quickly resolved the misunderstanding.
Even though Gai Nie was somewhat skeptical of Jing Niu's claim that he had left Luowang and completely become a member of Prince Ying An's family, both parties were aiming for the Qin State Palace.
In the end, it was Ying Zheng, who had a much broader mind and bearing than ordinary people, who made the decisive choice to believe Jing Niu.
This is why there is this combination that obviously shouldn't appear at the same time, but strangely comes together.
Gai Nie bowed to Ying Zheng. Although he was puzzled as to why Wei Zhuang was in the Qin State Hall and even speculated about Wei Zhuang's purpose, he still explained his reaction to Ying Zheng frankly.
"I see." Ying Zheng smiled knowingly and said, "I didn't expect you to meet a fellow disciple by such a coincidence. However, according to legend, the Guigu lineage has always been one-upmanship, with the victor inheriting the Guigu lineage. Why does your relationship with this junior fellow disciple seem unlike that of many of our predecessors?"
The rules of the Guiguzi lineage are very famous.
Even the fight between Sun Bin and Pang Juan was to the point of life and death.
But now, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang showed an incredible brotherhood.
"Excuse me, Master Shang." Gai Nie gave a bitter laugh and said, "Xiao Zhuang and I will certainly not violate the rules of our elders, but we will not disregard our many years of friendship either!"
Nodding in understanding, Ying Zheng said, "Since that's the case, sir, why don't you catch up with me first? In this Qin State Hall, I think we've just experienced an assassination attempt. No one dares to risk the world's taboos and attack me again in the short term!!"
After hesitating for a moment, Gai Nie finally shook his head and said, "Thank you, Master Shang, but Xiao Zhuang and I have already left our school. Master Shang's safety is the most important thing right now."
Ying Zheng smiled noncommittally, then walked around Jing Niu and headed straight towards Ying An.
When Ying Zheng and Gai Nie appeared together with Jing Niu, Ying An instantly recognized Ying Zheng's identity.
Although Ying An knew that Ying Zheng would go to Xinzheng in Bailongyufu, he really didn't expect that Ying Zheng would come so early.
Even in Ying An's opinion, even if Ying Zheng appeared in Xinzheng, it would be impossible for him to come to him so openly.
You know, among the seven kingdoms in the world, whether in Qin or the six kingdoms in Shandong, the number of people who wanted Ying Zheng to die was almost countless.
The more people know Ying Zheng's identity, the more dangerous his situation will be.
But now, the most unlikely situation has occurred!!
The moment Ying An recognized Ying Zheng's identity, he dared not neglect it. He immediately ordered the black and white sisters around him to disperse the surrounding area.
Ying An quickly passed Li Si and came to Ying Zheng. He bowed and said, "Your Highness, I greet you, father!"
Li Si was really shocked by Ying An's words.
Father?
Could it be that the man in front of me wearing a silver mask is actually the King of Qin?
But how is this possible? How could the King of Qin appear in Xinzheng, South Korea?
No matter how hard Li Si thought about it, he couldn't figure out how Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, appeared in Xinzheng, South Korea.
Seeing Ying An bowing to him, a complex look flashed across Ying Zheng's face behind the mask.
Just now along the way, Ying Zheng heard from Jingwei a Ying An who was completely different from what he knew.
For a moment, Ying Zheng didn't even know whether it was the frail and sickly second son in his memory, or the extremely powerful and scheming Prince Ying An in front of him. This was the real him.
As an emperor, Ying Zheng was naturally scheming. But no matter how he tried, he couldn't figure out how Ying An had managed to hide this from the entire world.
After staring at Ying An for a long time, Ying Zheng finally said quietly, "Get up! Prepare a quiet room. I have something to ask you!!"
"Yes!" In just a moment, Ying An guessed that Ying Zheng must be aware of his strength.
"Your humble servant Li Si greets the king!" The moment he confirmed Ying Zheng's identity, Li Si hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects.
Glancing at Li Si, Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "You are not bad! If I remember correctly, you are a disciple of Xunzi. Your senior brother is Han Fei, the prince of Han."
When Li Si heard Ying Zheng mention Han Fei first when he mentioned him, he immediately felt a strong sense of resentment.
Of course, no matter how angry he was inside, Li Si did not show it in front of Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, my mentor and senior brother are none other than Mr. Xunzi and Han Fei!" Li answered honestly.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, but he no longer had any intention of communicating with Li Si. Instead, he walked directly to the quiet room arranged by Ying An.
Quiet room.
Ying An and Ying Zheng, who had taken off his mask, sat opposite each other.
After the two of them were silent for a long time, Ying Zheng finally spoke first.
Looking at Ying An with a complicated expression, Ying Zheng said, "I can't believe you're my second son, who has been bedridden for sixteen years and was even predicted by countless medical experts to die young."
After a slight pause, Ying Zheng asked, "Are you really my second son, An'er?"
"What do you think, father?" Ying An did not rush to explain himself. Instead, he threw the question back to Ying Zheng.
After a moment of thought, Ying Zheng said, "I don't know. I hope you are An'er. But I also don't want to think that my second son could hide this from me for sixteen years."
"I'm sorry to disappoint my father!" Ying An answered the question irrelevantly.
"I don't think you have disappointed me in any way." Ying Zheng chuckled, and his tone suddenly became stern.
"Can you tell me who you are? Where is my An'er now?"
"Father, have you confirmed that I am no longer me?" Ying An shook his head and said, "I wonder if Father will believe that I, your son, have suddenly attained enlightenment. Not only did my chronic illness heal overnight, but I even discovered a cultivation method that is completely different from anyone else's."
"You want to tell me that you are a natural saint?" Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Does Father believe that there are immortals in this world?"
Ying An's question really left Ying Zheng feeling a bit baffled. But after a moment's thought, Ying Zheng nodded and said, "I believe it!"
Ying Zheng, who would later become the First Emperor, toiled for countless years in his quest for immortality. Countless Taoist priests in the world sought advancement through the art of refining the elixir of immortality.
Although the current Ying Zheng is not the future Qin Shi Huang who, after unifying the six kingdoms, lost his life goals and could only seek the mysterious immortality, at this moment, Ying Zheng still believes in the existence of immortal immortals.
If not, he would not have been so determined to pursue immortality in the future.
"Then does your Majesty know that there is a prerequisite for immortality?" Ying An lied to Ying Zheng for the first time.
Although Ying An was indeed the son of Ying Zheng in this life, the wise and capable First Emperor was no fool. If he revealed his past, it would only arouse his suspicion.
Even Ying Zheng might think that Ying An is no longer his son. In this case, it would be almost impossible for Ying An to inherit the throne in the future unless he relies on his own strength to suppress the world.
Now Ying An wants to use a logically consistent lie to make Ying Zheng believe that he is Ying An.
"I'd like to hear the details!" Ying Zheng acted calmly, as if the person who had just questioned and doubted Ying An's identity was not him at all.
"Serious illness is a prerequisite for becoming an immortal. Only with a serious illness can one achieve great enlightenment. I have been bedridden for sixteen years. If my father had not recruited famous doctors from all over the world to continuously maintain my life, I would probably have died many years ago! ! During these sixteen years, I have been feeling the horror of the impermanence of life and death all the time!!" Ying An seemed to be explaining his own insights in this life.
Ying Zheng did not interrupt, but listened quietly.
"Great terror exists between heaven and earth, between reality and illusion, and between life and death! For sixteen years, I have wandered between life and death countless times. Only now have I finally realized a way to transcend life and death!!"
His eyes suddenly focused, a hint of eagerness flashing in his pupils. Ying Zheng said, "Are you saying that, between life and death, you realized the method of immortality that transcends life and death?"
"Immortality?" Ying An gave a wry smile and said, "Maybe!"
"What do you mean?" Ying Zheng frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Ying An's ambiguous answer.
"Immortality is so difficult. Father, you wouldn't think that those alchemists who themselves can't achieve immortality can really make a magic medicine that can make people immortal by just refining some lead and mercury elixir?"
"What have you comprehended?" Ying Zheng, who had temporarily put aside his desire for immortality and quickly calmed down, began to be curious about what the so-called method of immortality that Ying An had comprehended was.
"This world is like a boundless sea of suffering. People are in the sea, their bodies are the oars, and their souls are like the people in the boat. Immortality is the other shore. But ordinary people, no matter the oars or the souls, can't cross the boundless sea of suffering. To reach the other shore of immortality, you can either strengthen the hull, cultivate the body, and cultivate the body into a majestic ship that is not afraid of the hardships of the sea of suffering to cross the sea. Or you can strengthen the spirit and soul, and reach the other shore directly. What do you think, father?" Ying An calmly threw out the cultivation system of the Yangshen world.
One had to admit that the Yangshen World, the cultivation system of the spirit, soul, and body, was logically rigorous and impeccable. Even Ying Zheng couldn't find any problems with it.
"Then, what kind of enlightenment did you gain between life and death?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.
"If a sex-hungry man faces a dilemma: one is a pure girl, the other is a stunning beauty. What do you think he will choose, father?" Ying An asked again without answering.
Ying Zheng, however, didn't take it seriously. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'm afraid he'll want both, right?"
"Exactly!" Ying An glanced at Ying Zheng in astonishment. He hadn't expected Ying Zheng to want it all. "For a subject who has lived in the terror of life and death for years, beauty is the immortality I seek. These two choices are between body and soul!"
"You..." Ying Zheng was really shocked.
Ying An clearly meant that he had chosen both the soul and the body, and had already walked out of his own path.
As if to prove himself, a warm breeze suddenly arose out of nowhere above Ying An's head.
The next moment, a figure containing pure yang energy appeared out of thin air above Ying An's head.
Ying Zheng was startled and said in horror, "This... is this the divine soul you comprehended? It's as if it were divine!!"
"That's right!" Ying An's body and soul spoke at the same time: "After seeing my current achievements, father, do you think I am still the same person I used to be?"
A complex expression flashed across his face. But at the same time, Ying Zheng felt an unprecedented surge of pride in his heart.
At this moment, Ying Zheng seemed to have believed Ying An's words.
