When Lu Li returned to the villa, Wei Zhuang was already waiting for him.

"How about it?"

“I have killed all the people named Liu Ji in Pei County!” Wei Zhuang replied.

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Liu Jiquan had been killed, so did he change history?

"Is there still no one in the palace named Zhao Gao?"

Wei Zhuang shook his head. He was doing very well in Xianyang Palace, but he had never heard of anyone named Zhao Gao.

Lu Li frowned deeply. This was strange!

Zhao Gao was a eunuch, and according to historical records, he had been by Ying Zheng's side for a long time. Why did he not appear for so long?

Could it be that historical records are really wrong?

But the Qin Dynasty fell at the hands of Zhao Gao and Hu Hai. How could such a major historical event be wrong?

If Zhao Gao cannot be found, the history of the Qin state seems to remain unchanged.

Because this person is the greatest sinner of the Qin state!

"Any news about the Xiang family? Where did they escape to?" Wei Zhuang turned to ask Chu Liu.

Chu Liu bowed slightly and replied, "Master, the Xiang family has fled to the Mo family..."

Mohism!

Lu Li was immediately faced with a dilemma. As a member of the Hundred Schools of Thought, if he sent troops to the Mohist School, the other members of the Hundred Schools of Thought would probably attack him en masse.

Personal feuds are nothing, but they must not involve the strongholds of the various schools of thought; this is something everyone has always adhered to.

"Send assassins to kill members of the Xiang family, especially Xiang Ji!"

Xiang Yu, with his unparalleled strength and indomitable spirit, was the key to the downfall of the Qin Dynasty.

If Xiang Yu hadn't tied down the main force of the Qin army, Liu Bang wouldn't have been able to enter Xianyang.

Because Xiang Ji was within the territory of Chu and was well protected, Lu Li never had the opportunity to send assassins to kill him.

Now that the State of Chu has fallen, and Xiang Liang has taken Xiang Ji to the Mohist school, it is time to make a move.

“The Mohist school should have a minor grandmaster-level expert overseeing things…” Wei Zhuang reminded him.

Lu Li then realized that almost all the major families in the Hundred Schools of Thought had experts at the level of minor grandmasters. Sending ordinary assassins would only be a waste of their lives.

"Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now and talk about it after Qin unifies the world."

The most important thing now is for Qin to unify the world. The last state, Qi, is also quite powerful. If we don't plan carefully, we will probably pay a heavy price.

"By the way, is there still no news about Senior Brother?" Lu Li asked.

Chu Liu shook his head. All the people under his command of the Black Ice Platform had been sent out, but there was still no news of Gai Nie.

He seemed to have vanished into thin air; there has been no news of him for several years.

Half of their skills were taught by Gai Nie, so it's perfectly normal that they couldn't find Gai Nie.

The next day, Lu Li went to Xianyang Palace to discuss the destruction of Qi with Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng, however, said with a serious expression, "Sir, I heard from Chu Jiu that you want to hand over the Black Ice Platform to him?"

"Yes, Chu Jiu has matured and is the perfect person to take charge of the Black Ice Platform."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "I know that Chu Jiu is reliable, but I trust you more, sir. The Black Ice Platform was founded by you, so it should naturally be under your personal command."

Lu Li immediately understood Ying Zheng's meaning: he didn't want him to go into seclusion!

"Your Majesty, I have no interest in fame and fortune in officialdom. I only hope that the people can live in peace and prosperity and no longer have to suffer the pain of war."

Ying Zheng suddenly stood up and said excitedly, "I know! But I can't live without you, sir!"

"Your Majesty..."

"When I first ascended to the throne of Qin, you were already helping me. Now that the world is about to be unified, why are you leaving me?"

Lu Li took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Your Majesty, please hear me out. Li Si is more skilled than I in governing the country."

Li Si's series of reforms impressed even Lu Li. This man had extraordinary talent in governing the country and was truly worthy of being the Prime Minister of Qin!

Ying Zheng was naturally aware of Li Si's prowess, but he ultimately couldn't do without Lu Li.

"Sir, may I stay?" Ying Zheng asked earnestly.

Lu Li is a strategist from the Guigu School. Once the world is unified, the alliances and counter-alliances will no longer have any meaning.

What's needed to govern a country is a system of laws!

"Your Majesty, I am living in seclusion in Yunmeng Mountain. If Your Majesty encounters any difficulties, you may send someone to summon me at any time."

Ying Zheng had visited Yunmeng Mountain many times. Back when he was fighting against Lü Buwei, he would personally go to Yunmeng Mountain to find Lu Li each time.

Lu Li was determined to leave, and Ying Zheng looked displeased.

"Alright, Your Majesty, the destruction of Qi is imminent, and Qi's strength should not be underestimated. I have a plan! Perhaps we can take Qi without shedding a drop of blood!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng regained some composure and quickly asked, "Please speak, sir."

"Make the King of Qi submit to the State of Qin!"

Ying Zheng was momentarily confused, not understanding what Lu Li meant.

"What do you mean by that, sir?"

"At the same time, let Wang Ben lead his troops to suddenly attack Qi from the south, so that the King of Qi will be terrified!"

"If you surrender, you might be granted a title; if you resist, you'll only die!"

Lu Li had long since figured out the King of Qi's personality, not to mention that Qi also had a prime minister named Hou Sheng.

Lu Li had been secretly planting his seeds for so long that he had already turned Hou Sheng against him.

"Very well, we will do as you say, sir!"

Ying Zheng personally drafted the official letter and ordered it to be sent to the State of Qi as soon as possible.

When King Qi saw the letter from Ying Zheng, he immediately roared in anger, "This is outrageous!"
