The sky in Xianyang had already completely darkened. It was not the first time that Ying Zheng was urged to go to bed in the house, but he always kept his eyes open and occasionally poked his head out, as if he was looking forward to something.

Cheng Jiao had fallen into a deep sleep. Queen Dowager Huayang and Queen Dowager Xia had been busy with the young man's affairs recently. They also felt that Ying Zheng was a little older, so they no longer restrained him and let him look at the stars at the door.

Chen Xuan hasn't been here all day.

Ever since Chen Xuan grew a little bigger in the morning, Ying Zheng hasn't seen him again.

Ying Zheng's heart was filled with panic.

Chen Xuan is Ying Zheng's only friend. Even the two brothers of the Meng family and Li Xin will become monarch and ministers in the end.

Chen Xuan is different. It is a divine beast that no one can see.

Ying Zheng sometimes always wondered whether Chen Xuan really existed or was just a figment of his imagination.

He was always worried that Chen Xuan would disappear one day and give up on him, or rather, he would give up on Chen Xuan and give up on a fantasy.

"Zheng boy, are you still not sleeping?"

Ying Zheng looked up in surprise and saw Chen Xuan hovering in the sky with the dragon head facing him.

"But you're worried?"

When Chen Xuan saw that Ying Zheng's face looked a little strange, he knew that the child was worried that his silent departure was a sign of giving up on Ying Zheng.

"I just went to take care of some things, but I didn't leave!"

Chen Xuan coaxed Ying Zheng, fearing that he would go into a dead end.

Even though children of this age are particularly precocious, in Chen Xuan's world, Ying Zheng is still a child at this age, at least in his eyes, a child who needs to be coaxed.

"I went to watch Wang He fight. His feat of conquering twelve cities in one day will probably reach Xianyang the day after tomorrow.

Zheng boy, do you want to listen?"

Ying Zheng raised his head, snorted angrily, and stared at Chen Xuan without saying anything.

Chen Xuan understood and began to narrate like a storyteller in later generations: "It is said that the Qin Dynasty was powerful and used its troops to make friends. I heard that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was angry and seemed to be gathering troops to attack the Qin Dynasty..."

Listen up, Zheng, listen up. If it's exactly the same as the news the day after tomorrow, you won't have any concerns, right?

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the sun and the moon change, and two days have passed.

Today is also the day when the messenger sent by Wang He returns.

Because Wang He only regained some clarity of mind after conquering nine cities and taking half of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the person who delivered the message was a little late.

However, it was only a little late. Ying Zichu still knew that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had been conquered by Qin before the six states in Shandong knew about it.

Duke Biao and Cai Ze were immediately summoned into the palace.

The two of them had several changes of mind on the way to the palace.

Although he had great trust in Wang He's ability, he was the first commander-in-chief of the Battle of Changping after all. At that time, not to mention Bie Gong, even Meng Ao did not have this honor.

This is just an attack on a tiny Eastern Zhou Kingdom, which feels like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.

But the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. They had just heard some time ago that Xinling Jun had left Wei to help Chu, and they were afraid that this tiger man would see through their plan and be kidnapped by Wang He on the way.

The Battle of Changping nearly destroyed the State of Zhao, allowing Bai Qi to achieve a true feat of destroying a country.

Such a great achievement was also abandoned because of the fate of Xinling Jun.

Although Bai Qi had taken sick leave and was at home during this time, and had little to do with the later wars, Xinling Jun was the first among the six kingdoms to suppress Qin's expansion momentum when the Qin army was at its peak.

With such a criminal record, how could they not be frightened?

Although Cai Ze was a descendant of the Legalists, he was old after all, and since he had not been held accountable, he seemed a bit pedantic.

Although Bie Gong was still young, he had not fought many tough battles and was always unsure of himself.

However, their concerns disappeared without a trace after they met Ying Zichu.

"You two have come just in time to share this joy with me!"

Ying Zichu smiled and gave seats to the two important ministers.

Cai Ze is now one of the few Legalists in Xianyang, and he is also the prime minister of the dynasty, and is a senior official.

As for Duke Bie, it was only because all the generals in the country had been dispatched and he was the only one left to guard Xianyang, and because of his outstanding military achievements, although his merits were not much, he was still worthy of the title of an important official.

"General Wang has sent good news. Eastern Zhou has been returned to our Great Qin. Can Prime Minister Cai put his worries aside?"

The two of them had just greeted each other and sat down, and before they could ask any questions, they heard Ying Zichu speak alone.

Hearing his name being called, Cai Ze quickly stood up and said, "This old minister has never had any worries. General Wang's abilities were highly praised by both previous kings. The fact that he conquered Dongzhou City in the past two weeks is also within this old minister's acceptable range."

Ying Zichu was delighted when he heard this, and looked at Cai Ze, who had a serious face, and said:

"When did I tell Prime Minister Cai that we conquered Dongzhou in just half a month? How can a military campaign be confused with this?"

Cai Ze quickly apologized. Although he was confused about what Ying Zichu meant, he did not ask out loud in the end.

Bie Gong seemed to have thought of something, and his face, which should have been calm, was now filled with astonishment.

"General Wang conquered twelve cities in Dongzhou in one day. He sent thirty men to escort the emperor to Xianyang, and the rest followed the old general to attack Wei."

When Ying Zichu finished speaking, Biao Gong's inner guess came true. If it were not for Ying Zichu's face, Biao Gong would probably scream.

During the Warring States Period, there were many cases where several cities were captured in one day, and there were even cases where an entire country's capital was captured in one day.

But those were all famous generals, geniuses that appeared rarely in the world for hundreds of years. The only one that Bie Gong had actually seen was Bai Qi, the Lord of An.

Now I heard that Wang He conquered twelve cities in one day, destroyed an entire country, and wiped out the royal family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. This kind of achievement is truly what is called a huge achievement, a feat that can destroy a country.
