King Zhaoxiang of Qin could hardly imagine how high Bai Qi's prestige would be!

...

However, it was precisely because King Zhaoxiang of Qin did not want Bai Qi to gain the credit for destroying Zhao and to be able to take Handan in one fell swoop after a great victory at the Battle of Changping that he chose to withdraw his troops.

Later, when King Zhaoxiang of Qin wanted to send someone else to conquer the State of Zhao, it was already too late.

The result of missing the opportunity was that King Zhaoxiang of Qin sent troops to attack Handan, the capital of Zhao, for two consecutive years, but not only did he fail to capture it, he also suffered heavy casualties!

Seeing this situation, King Zhaoxiang of Qin wanted to invite Bai Qi to come out of seclusion and lead the army to destroy the State of Zhao.

However, Bai Qi knew that now that Zhao had formed an alliance with many other states, it was not the time to destroy Zhao, so he refused King Zhaoxiang of Qin's offer.

However, while Bai Qi was a god on the battlefield, he was not very good at controlling people's hearts and politics.

His refusal greatly displeased King Zhaoxiang of Qin, who became increasingly wary of Bai Qi and even regarded him as a thorn in his side, harboring murderous intent towards him!

...

After leaving Bai Qi's residence, King Zhaoxiang of Qin discussed with his prime minister Fan Sui how to get rid of Bai Qi.

After discussing it, they devised a plan.

First, he asked Bai Qi to help him on several occasions at inappropriate times, but Bai Qi refused.

As a result, Bai Qi repeatedly refused to go on campaigns, which greatly diminished his prestige within the army.

Then, King Zhaoxiang of Qin demoted Bai Qi to the rank of soldier on the grounds that Bai Qi had shown contempt for the king and disobeyed royal orders.

Finally, it was time to close the net.

King Zhaoxiang of Qin forced Bai Qi, who had been demoted to a common soldier, to go to the battlefield in Zhao despite his illness.

His idea was to let Bai Qi lead his troops to destroy the Zhao state first, and then eliminate Bai Qi.

However, Chancellor Fan Sui, who harbored resentment towards Bai Qi, wished Bai Qi would die immediately.

Fan Sui first provoked King Zhaoxiang of Qin to kill Bai Qi through his words.

Then, it was said that if Bai Qi made great contributions on the battlefield in Zhao, he would regain his prestige in the army, and even surpass it, making him difficult to eliminate.

Fan Sui's words greatly fueled King Zhaoxiang of Qin's murderous intent.

Fearing that things might get complicated if he delayed, he directly ordered his messenger to take his sword and imperial edict, catch up with Bai Qi, and execute him!

...

Yin Zicheng stood tall in the sky, his supreme divine eyes looking down upon the earth.

He witnessed the conversation between King Zhaoxiang of Qin and Fan Sui very clearly.

And, they saw the royal envoy carrying a sword and an imperial edict leaving the palace and speeding towards Bai Qi's direction.

Watching Bai Qi, the legendary warrior, about to be executed.

Yin Zicheng shook his head:

"This Ying Ji is truly a useless piece of trash. Even a loyal talent like Bai Qi is so frightening to the point of losing sleep that he wants to execute him..."

"If it were Ying Zheng, he certainly wouldn't have executed Bai Qi; he would have been eager to have more talented people like Bai Qi under his command."

"Ying Zheng was far more powerful than his great-grandfather Ying Ji!"

Thinking of Ying Zheng, Yin Zicheng looked toward the capital of Zhao.

At this moment, the young Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng was in Handan, the capital of the Zhao state!
