After all, all of Ying An's statements were so seamless that no logical loopholes could be found. More importantly, for the past sixteen years, Ying An had been living under Ying Zheng's watchful eyes.

Even though Ying Zheng has not yet taken power, if anyone in the Xianyang Palace wants to use the trick of using Lu as a substitute for the King of Qin's son, it is simply impossible!

"Since you have embarked on the path of pursuing immortality, I would like to know what you think of the Qin Dynasty?" After Ying Zheng calmed down, he quickly thought of the most critical issue.

Ying An was Ying Zheng's second son. Although his deceased mother was only a princess of the Kingdom of Han due to his family background, he could not compare with Fusu, the eldest son who had the support of the Qin and Chu factions.

You know, Fusu's uncle, Changping Jun, will become the last King of Chu in the future. From this point alone, it is enough to show what the power behind Fusu is.

The Chu State certainly hoped that Fusu could inherit the throne of Qin. Within the Qin State, the Chu faction was also extremely powerful, even able to compete with Lu Buwei. However, the Chu faction had always pursued a strategy of keeping a low profile.

Even if they had to watch Lü Buwei monopolize power, as long as it did not threaten Ying Zheng's position as King of Qin, the Chu faction would even be happy with it.

After all, the more serious the internal friction of Qin, the less it could affect the six states of Shandong. The conflict between Lü Buwei and Ying Zheng was more like the result of the various forces in the six states of Shandong and the Qin court, which were happy to see it happen.

I believe this is also the reason why Lu Buwei never resorted to the strategy of replacing Qi with someone else and followed the example of the Tian family.

But now, knowing that Ying An had been bedridden for sixteen years, and had been on the verge of life and death for many years, he had gained insight into the mysteries of life and death, and had comprehended such miraculous soul secrets and immortal martial arts without any guidance.

His powerful strength alone is enough to bridge the gap between Ying An and Fusu.

Although Ying Zheng himself has not yet taken real power, he is also very clear that once his second son and eldest son have a conflict, it will ultimately affect the entire Qin Dynasty.

After a long pause, Ying Zheng finally asked, "An'er has such talent. He is truly a natural saint. However, I want to know what you think of the throne of the Great Qin?"

Chapter 79: Comparable to the ancient saints! The founder of the world! Breaking the barrier of life and death, achieving immortal ghost immortality!

Ying An's eyes flashed, and he instantly guessed Ying Zheng's deep meaning.

Perhaps Ying Zheng realized that he was no longer the second son who was bedridden and could not live past the age of sixteen. He was now powerful and had begun to recruit subordinates. He was worried that he and Fusu would develop hatred because of the struggle for the throne, and even further cause internal fighting within the royal family.

Ying An smiled and said, "Father, the secret methods of the soul and the cultivation of the body through the cultivation of Qi and Blood are both supreme inheritances that lead directly to immortality. Why do you think that the throne of our Great Qin will change in the future?"

Ying Zheng was stunned at first, and then even his breathing became rapid.

Even though Ying Zheng usually kept his emotions to himself, he couldn't help but lose control of his expression when he guessed the deeper meaning behind Ying An's words.

"You...you mean..." Ying Zheng's voice was trembling a little.

"That's right!" Ying An nodded affirmatively and said, "Father, I hope you can also embark on the path of immortality!"

"Okay...Okay!" Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly, but soon, he became a little conflicted. "I'm so busy with paperwork that I'm afraid I don't have much time to cultivate An'er's spiritual immortal path and human immortal martial arts!"

"Father, you don't know!" Ying An explained, "The Qi and Blood Immortal Martial Arts does require immersion in physical training. But the Spirit and Soul Immortal Martial Arts is different! The Spirit and Soul Immortal Martial Arts pursues the eternal existence of the soul and the purity of thoughts. Anyone who studies wisely, has a firm mind, and understands their true nature already has the foundation for cultivating the spirit and soul. In fact, in my opinion, if you can understand the mysteries of the spirit and soul, you can instantly break the barrier between life and death and become an immortal ghost immortal!"

"Is it really so?" Ying Zheng completely changed his view of Ying An this time.

Ying Zheng is the King of Qin. Even if he is not in power now, it is impossible for him to abandon everything, train his body, and practice the martial arts of immortality.

On the contrary, the path of the soul and immortality is more suitable for him. As long as one understands his true heart, he can embark on the path of immortality step by step.

"Whether it's true or not, your father will know after trying it!!" While Ying An was speaking, without waiting for Ying Zheng to ask for it, a thought containing the method of visualizing the Golden Crow instantly separated from his soul and sank into his forehead before Ying Zheng could react at all.

In an instant, Ying Zheng was suddenly immersed in a profound perception.

In just a few breaths, a gust of cold wind instantly flew out from above Ying Zheng's head, and a vivid three-legged golden crow appeared out of thin air.

Although he had only just received the inheritance of the Divine Soul Immortal Way, Ying Zheng's own realm was definitely not low. Even if he could not compete with Han Fei, a master of the Legalist school, he was only slightly inferior.

More importantly, the reason why Ying Zheng was not as advanced as Han Fei was entirely because his thoughts had not been relaxed for a long time and he was depressed.

I believe that once Ying Zheng's plan is successfully implemented, first seizing military power and then reclaiming the throne from Lü Buwei, he will feel instantly relieved. His spiritual cultivation will likely reach or even surpass Han Fei's level in a single leap.

His soul condensed into the form of three groups of golden crows, and Ying Zheng was really curious about his current state.

He looked at the closed body kneeling in front of Ying An, then looked at his own body. Then he said, "Is this the way of the soul? It is indeed mysterious and unpredictable!!"

After personally experiencing that the soul visualization method Ying An taught him was actually the one for visualizing the three-legged golden crow, Ying Zheng's last shred of doubt about Ying An vanished.

At this point in time, although the royal families of various countries respected the dragon, they had not yet reached the level of truly using the dragon to symbolize the Son of Heaven. After all, don't forget that "Zulong" is another name for Ying Zheng, the First Emperor.

The emperor used the dragon as a symbol, and it officially started from Ying Zheng! !

To some extent, the sacredness of the Three-legged Golden Crow is no less than that of the dragon. And Ying Zheng knew that Ying An's wife, Dongjun, was known for her mysterious Yin-Yang magic and was famous for transforming into a Three-legged Golden Crow.

In Ying Zheng's opinion, Ying An was able to create this secret method of visualizing the three-legged golden crow and improving his own soul, which was inspired by Dongjun!

"My father is truly gifted. In such a short period of time, he has cultivated his spirit and soul to the point where he is only one step away from breaking the barrier between life and death! Congratulations, my father, and may immortality be yours in the future!" Ying An bowed slightly to Ying Zheng and saluted.

Ying Zheng's talent for soul cultivation was truly astonishing. In just a few breaths, he had already cultivated his soul to the point of possessing a body. He was even just one step away from breaking the barrier between life and death and advancing to the level of a ghost immortal.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Ying Zheng’s own wisdom.

Ying Zheng possessed a wealth of knowledge and a formidable mind, his spirit inherently powerful. The Three-legged Golden Crow visualization method Ying An had provided simply allowed Ying Zheng's spirit realm to truly manifest its inherent power, emerging from its ethereal state.

The three-legged golden crow transformed from the soul flapped its wings above Ying Zheng's head and turned into pure soul-wind again, sinking back into his body.

After his soul returned to his body, Ying Zheng felt the difference between his spiritual and physical states, then stood up and bowed to Ying An.

Ying An was immediately startled. He quickly stood up and bowed to Ying Zheng, saying, "Father, I am so embarrassed. Is it proper for a father to pay respect to his son?"

As if Mei was aware of the immense pressure his actions were placing on Ying An, Ying Zheng bowed three times before speaking seriously, "This isn't a father bowing to his son. It's a thank you for teaching me this method! My son is the founder of this unprecedented method of longevity. Even though I, your father, have learned this profound inheritance, I still bow to you as your teacher! Simply accept it!"

"This..." Ying An had no choice but to bite the bullet and bow to Ying Zheng. The two of them then returned to the low table and sat down again.

"The guild hall was attacked tonight. Before I arrived, I saw Ji Wuye of Han riding towards me. I wonder how An'er plans to handle tonight's incident?" After confirming that Ying An had not been manipulated, but had opened up a longevity lineage, a being destined to be revered as a patriarch in the future, and had personally verified the mysteries of the soul cultivation method, Ying Zheng would no longer treat Ying An as a mere child as before.

But in a true sense, he put Ying An in a position where he could communicate with him on an equal footing.

"Father, please allow me to report." Ying An smiled and said, "Tonight, it's not just General Ji Wuye of Han who has come, but also Zhang Kaidi, who has been the prime minister of Han for generations! This son, pretending to be idiotic and acting like a dandy, is asking for three cities as compensation from Han. However, this son has also given Han a decent hand. The compensation of these three cities can be used as the dowry of the future Princess Honglian. They will be handed over to my Great Qin together!"

Ying Zheng was stunned at first, but then quickly reacted. He gave Ying An a meaningful look and said, "An'er has made a great contribution to this success. When the delegation returns to Daqin, I will give you an explanation!"

Ying An immediately understood what Ying Zheng meant and accepted it.

It goes without saying that Ying Zheng must be the same as Li Si now, thinking that Ying An asked for three cities as compensation from South Korea, and proposed them as a dowry for Princess Honglian in order to strengthen the strength of his own subordinates.

In this regard, Ying An did not bother to explain anything.

Besides, he did this with this intention in mind.

"Your Majesty, your son, thanks you very much." After expressing his gratitude, Ying An suddenly changed the subject and said, "Father, as the King of Qin, why did you take such a risk today and appear in Xinzheng, South Korea in the White Dragon Fish Suit?"

Ying Zheng was stunned and silent for a moment before he spoke to Ying An, "You should know that although I am the King of Qin, the royal power has fallen into the hands of Lu Buwei. I am taking this risk to regain the royal power!"

When Ying An and Ying Zheng had a frank communication.

Inside the King of Han's palace.

Ji Wuye and Zhang Kaidi, who had traveled back and forth to the Qin State Pavilion, finally returned.

As soon as they entered the palace, the two were immediately escorted by the palace guards to a side hall where King Han An was.

"My two beloved ministers!" Seeing Zhang Kaidi and Ji Wuye, King Han immediately rushed forward, not caring at all about his status as the King of Han. He hurriedly asked, "What does the Prince of Qin say?"

Zhang Kaidi and Ji Wuye fell silent. They looked at each other, waiting for the other to report to Han Wangan.

Unfortunately, everyone knew how excessive Ying An's conditions were. Once King Han knew about it, he would be furious.

Neither Ji Wuye nor Zhang Kaidi wanted to bear Han Wangan's wrath.

For a moment, the two of them seemed to have strangely ignored Han Wangan's questions.

Han Wangan's heart sank. Suppressing his inner discontent, he said, "My dear ministers, what unacceptable conditions has this prince of Qin proposed? Feel free to speak your mind. I will not vent my anger on you, my dear ministers."

Although neither Zhang Kaidi nor Ji Wuye believed Han Wangan's promise, they didn't want to continue in this stalemate.

Finally, Ji Wuye spoke first, adding with an open mind, and methodically explained Ying An's conditions for requesting the three cities.

"Damn it! How dare you bully me like this!" After hearing Ying An's request, Han Wangan was furious. Unable to suppress his rage, he angrily grabbed the bronze urn on the table beside him and slammed it to the ground.

After venting his anger for a long time in the side hall, he finally vented some of his inner anger. King Han An, having managed to calm down, said, "What should we do? Our Han State is so poor and weak. If we cede three more cities, there will be no place for our Han State in the world."

"Your Majesty," Zhang Kai gave a wry smile and said, "Young Master Ying'an's request can be considered as saving some face for our Kingdom of Han. Although the request to cede three cities cannot be changed, these three cities can be handed over to the Kingdom of Qin in exchange for Princess Honglian's dowry!"

"This is too much!!" When Han Wangan mentioned this, he became even more angry.

Thanks to having vented my anger just now, I realized that being angry and powerless will not solve any problems at all.

King An of Han looked at Ji Wuye and Zhang Kaidi for help, saying, "My dear ministers, is there any room for maneuver in this matter? The three cities must not be ceded to Qin. Otherwise, the destruction of our Han State is imminent!"

"This..." Zhang Kaidi and Ji Wuye were both in a dilemma.

Although he knew that Ying An's request was extortion.

But unfortunately, South Korea is weak and has no room for resistance.

More importantly, Ying An gave the King of Han a decent treat by not openly demanding the cession of territory and occupying the three cities of Han.

If we do not accept Ying An's blackmail, who knows whether Qin will use this as an excuse to send troops?

As the two hesitated, Ji Wuye suddenly remembered that Han Fei seemed to have been to the Qin State Pavilion before. He even escaped from the Qin State Pavilion while surrounded by white-armored soldiers.

Even though he didn't know what Han Fei had done in the guild hall, Ji Wuye now had an idea of ​​diverting the trouble to someone else.

"Reporting to the king!" Ji Wuye bowed and said in a strong voice, "When the Qin State Assembly Hall was assassinated tonight, Master Han Fei was also involved. I think it would be better to hand this matter over to Master Han Fei. Even if Master Han Fei did not help to stop the assassin before, his experience of sharing hardships with Master Ying An is enough for him to have a say in Master Ying An's presence!"

"Han Fei?" Han Wangan frowned and fell into a dilemma.

Although Han Fei was the ninth prince of Han and the son of King An of Han, he had long ago gone to study Confucianism in Sanghai. The long separation between father and son had long since faded.

More importantly, Han Fei had secretly gone to the Qin State Hall tonight. If it weren't for the assassination incident and Honglian's proactive disclosure, Han Wangan would have been kept in the dark.

These realities made King Han An unable to trust Han Fei. He even suspected that Han Fei was secretly colluding with the State of Qin to seize his throne.

Such things are not uncommon in the Seven Kingdoms. But it is not just in the future that fathers and sons will kill each other in the royal family.

Not to mention anything else, the once famous King Wuling of Zhao was trapped in a sand dune by his own son for three months and eventually starved to death.

King An of Han may not be good at other things, but he is quite good at conspiracy and power politics.

At this moment, Zhang Kaidi and Ji Wuye actually proposed that Han Fei should communicate with the Qin delegation. How could King Han An, who already doubted Han Fei, accept this?

In his view, doing so was tantamount to giving Han Fei an opportunity to seize power.

Seeing Han Wangan's tangled face, both Zhang Kaidi and Ji Wuye felt helpless in their hearts. But more of it was contempt for Han Wangan.

Although if Han Wangan had not been so foolish, Ji Wuye would not have had the opportunity to monopolize power in Han State. But this does not mean that Ji Wuye would be grateful to Han Wangan in his heart. On the contrary, Ji Wuye despised and even looked down on Han Wangan.

Otherwise, he would not have come up with such a ridiculous idea of ​​following the example of the Tian family to replace the Qi family.

"Your Majesty!" Ji Wuye clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Now Han has no choice. If we really cede the three cities to Qin, Han will be in danger of collapse at any time. The most urgent task is to resolve the urgent problem first!"

Even Ji Wuye advised him in this way, which made Zhang Kaidi even more distressed.

"Your Majesty, the General is absolutely right. You must not hesitate at this moment. Your Majesty must make a decision soon, for the sake of Korea's centuries-old foundation!"

Although he was reluctant to give up his rights in his heart, Han Wangan also knew that at this time, he had no choice.

If Ying An could not change his mind, whether he really ceded the three cities to Qin or refused and caused Qin to use this as an excuse to send troops, it would be a catastrophic disaster for Han.

At this critical juncture, as the King of Han, he must not hesitate.

Perhaps it was because of the crisis that King Han An, who had been addicted to alcohol and sex for many years, actually regained some of his ambition from his youth.

A look of determination flashed in his eyes, and Han Wangan said, "Never mind. I'll leave this matter to you two, my dear ministers. Summon Han Fei to the Qin State Hall immediately to meet with Prince Ying'an and discuss this matter."

After a slight pause, Han Wangan added, "As long as Prince Ying'an can change his mind and avoid the disaster of ceding territory to Han, I can personally apologize to Prince Ying'an."

In order to maintain his power, King Han An no longer cares about his face.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Kaidi and Ji Wuye praised him with a guilty conscience.

"Oh..." Han Wangan sighed. He was not stupid, so how could he not tell that Zhang Kaidi and Ji Wuye were not speaking from the heart.

After sighing, a bizarre idea suddenly emerged in Han Wangan's mind.

"My dear ministers, since Honglian has been betrothed to Master Ying'an, I wonder if there is any chance of reversing the situation if he were to meet Master Ying'an?"

Although Han Wangan's words sounded nice, Zhang Kaidi and Ji Wuye still reacted in an instant.

How could Han Wangan have asked Honglian to discuss the matter with Young Master Ying'an? He was clearly sending his daughter there on his own initiative, intending to appease Young Master Ying'an's anger.

It must be said that Han Wangan's crooked idea was indeed a stroke of genius.

Ying An himself said that if South Korea ceded three cities, they could be handed over as Princess Honglian's dowry.

Then, Honglian used this as an excuse to go to Ying An in person to discuss the dowry. It seemed that even if Ying An was dissatisfied, he would not be able to show it.

We have to admit that in order to ensure the continuation of the Kingdom of Han, King An of Han really did everything he could.

Chapter 80: The real hidden terror of Qin! There is a great terror between life and death!

Even Honglian, who had just been confined to the palace, was going to be used.
