Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 498: Chapter 212: Yan’s Terror

Just this one sentence.

Ying Zheng immediately understood.

“You say this matter is the doing of Yan Dan?” Ying Zheng’s lips curled into a smile.

“Aside from him, I can’t think of anyone else.”

“After all, though the King of Yan is not a wise ruler, he isn’t foolish either.”

“The assassination attempt may seem to throw Qin into chaos, but the cost would be the destruction of Yan. He definitely wouldn’t dare to gamble.”

“On the contrary, his son Ji Dan, self-important, thinking he can make Yan stronger, yet his abilities are really lacking.”

“He wants to prove himself and show he can protect Yan, so his plotting of this move isn’t surprising.” Zhao Feng said with a light smile.

Jing Ke’s attempt on Qin.

Besides having memories of the past life.

It also stemmed from knowledge of Yan Dan.

This Yan Dan might be recorded in history as having orchestrated Jing Ke’s attempt on Qin to save Yan.

But in the end.

He made a bad move.

“Thinking about it like this.”

“This Ji Dan could indeed do such a thing.”

“But your evaluation of him is quite fair.”

“Arrogant and conceited.” Ying Zheng chuckled.

Zhao Feng raised an eyebrow and teased: “Great King, you should thank Yan Dan properly. Without him, Qin wouldn’t have this justified opportunity.”

“The Wu’an Military Camp is guarding Yunzhong City, this opportunity must not be missed.”

“Tomorrow.”

“I will set out for Yunzhong City, catching Yan off guard.” Zhao Feng immediately requested of Ying Zheng.

“Setting out right away?”

Seeing Zhao Feng quick to request to go to Yunzhong, Ying Zheng was stunned.

The assassination attempt just happened today. Even to declare war on Yan requires time.

Zhao Feng is really too eager?

“Military action demands speed.” Zhao Feng said immediately.

“But you’ve traveled for days, wouldn’t you rest a bit before leaving?” Ying Zheng said with some concern.

Just for saving him today, even if Zhao Feng weren’t his son, Ying Zheng would treat him with great favor.

At this,

Zhao Feng glanced up and down at Ying Zheng, with a trace of a smile.

“What kind of look is that?” Ying Zheng said, somewhat irritably.

“I’m not as weak as the Great King.”

“It’s just a few days’ journey. I’ve experienced it numerous times on the battlefield.” Zhao Feng teased.

“You brat.”

Ying Zheng was a bit helpless at these words.

“Military action demands speed.”

“Tomorrow, I will set out. It’s best to attack Yan before the news reaches Ji City.”

“Catch them by surprise.”

“This time, I’ll secure another achievement for extinguishing a state.” Zhao Feng said with a smile.

“If you can extinguish Yan, I will raise your rank by one more level.”

“When you reach a twenty-level rank, I will appoint you as the Grand Commandant.”

At this moment.

Ying Zheng had no hesitation, speaking to Zhao Feng.

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Feng’s expression changed slightly.

He hadn’t expected Ying Zheng to be this direct.

“It seems this effort to return quickly was worth it. Now, King of Qin feels extremely grateful to me.”

“The rank of Grand Commandant, the head of the military officials, and he just promises it like that.”

“How wonderful.”

“Today’s rank advancement puts me at eighteen; two more and I’ll be appointed the Grand Commandant.”

“This is really great.”

Zhao Feng was filled with excitement.

Then.

Zhao Feng showed no intent to refuse: “The Great King must not go back on his word, this rank of Grand Commandant, I will respectfully await.”

“As long as you achieve merits again, I will never go back on my word.” Ying Zheng said with a smile.

He liked Zhao Feng’s genuine nature.

Showing enthusiasm and greed for power.

But without any hypocrisy, no deceit.

“I will remember that.” Zhao Feng said with a smile.

“Do you still have those pills?”

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Feng again, with a somewhat eager gaze.

Clearly.

The spirit pills Zhao Feng made had become quite enjoyable for Ying Zheng.

For a monarch buried in affairs all day long, the Refreshing Pill was particularly beneficial.

“Yes.”

Zhao Feng smiled.

Directly searching his bosom.

Then took out five bottles of pills.

Placed them directly on Ying Zheng’s imperial desk.

“All Refreshing Pills.” Zhao Feng said with a smile.

“These are enough for me.” Ying Zheng smiled contentedly.

At this moment!

“Reporting to the Great King.”

“I, Li Si, seek audience.”

Li Si’s voice rang from outside the hall.

“Enter.”

Ying Zheng said with authority.

The gentle smile he had shown Zhao Feng quickly returned to a solemn expression.

The door to the hall opened.

Li Si walked in gently.

As he entered, the door of the hall closed behind him.

“I pay respects to the Great King.” Li Si bowed to Ying Zheng.

“Rise.”

Ying Zheng raised a hand.

“Thank you, Great King.”

Li Si stood up straight and then respectfully said: “Reporting to the Great King, all the Yan rebels have been shot dead, not a single survivor. The main culprits, Qin Wuyang and Jing Ke, have had their corpses dismembered, and all bodies have been thrown into the mass burial mound.”

“Well done.”

Ying Zheng nodded, with no surprise at these results.

“Has the news been spread?” Ying Zheng then asked.

“Rest assured, Great King.”

“The news has been spread, and all the citizens of the city are furious.”

“The people’s spirit is usable, and more so the military’s spirit.” Li Si said immediately.

“Investigate.”

“Why were weapons brought into the inner sanctum.”

“All involved must be dealt with.”

Ying Zheng said coldly to Li Si.

This time, such a big incident happened.

It can’t be settled so easily; those involved cannot be spared.

Even if it was unintended, there will surely be severe punishment.

Since due to their negligence, Ying Zheng’s life was almost lost.

This is the responsibility of the Imperial Guard Army; they cannot evade it.
