Chapter 56: Ying Zheng Leaves Xianyang, Han Fei and Li Si Appear in Anyi



The carriage was moving slowly.

This is Ying Zheng’s carriage, which just left Xianyang today.

After that, you will pass through Hangu Pass, go to Yiyang, pass Luoyang, turn to Xihe, and finally arrive at Anyi. The journey will take more than a month.

Most of the people accompanying him were Qin Tieying elite soldiers, and their leader was Wang He, who had just been named Wu'an Jun.

The title of Wu'an should be ranked first in terms of nobility, but few of those who received this title had a good ending.

However, Wang He doesn't care and won't care.

After all, this title belongs to Bai Qi, the butcher Bai Qi, the person that Wang He was willing to be his adjutant for back then.

Perhaps Wang He could never reach the height of Bai Qi, but that did not prevent him from inheriting Bai Qi's title. They did the same thing, only one was taller and the other shorter.

As for the so-called untimely end, Wang He just treated it as a joke.

Is it a question of title or not? But it all depends on the King of Qin's mood. If the King of Qin says you are guilty, then you are guilty. There is no way to refute or defend yourself.

"Lord Wu'an, where are we? Have we reached Hangu Pass?" Ying Zheng felt a little tired from sitting. After all, the carriage was not very comfortable, not to mention that he could not lie down and could only sit to maintain his dignity.

When Wang He heard Ying Zheng calling him, he smiled and replied, "Sir, you're really anxious. We left Xianyang this morning, and it's only afternoon now. How can we get to Hangu Pass?"

Wang He was quite respectful to Ying Zheng. After all, he was the one who saw the meteorite with his own eyes, so he had some awe in him.

In addition to the endorsement of Bie Gong, Wang He also believed in Ying Zheng's divine power in Hangu Pass. After all, the meteorite was still in front of Hangu Pass.

"It's I who's anxious," Ying Zheng said with a smile. He then leaned forward to look at Wang He and said, "Lord Wu'an, how many envoys from different countries are expected to come to Anyi?"

"Why? Are you worried no one will come?" Wang He looked at Ying Zheng with a smile, feeling that this self-proclaimed emperor was still a bit childish. "Wait a while. When we reach Anyi, you will know what the mighty Qin army is all about!"

"Lord Wu'an, if I arrive in Anyi and an envoy displeases me, can I execute them?"

Wang He was stunned at first, but then he saw that Ying Zheng was not joking and laughed, "My lord, you can kill whoever you want. Why should I, the prince of the Great Qin, care about others' feelings when I act?"

Ying Zheng responded and slowly retracted his head.

Wang He didn't say much when he saw this. He probably guessed what Ying Zheng meant.

During this trip to Anyi, Qin specially prepared a large gift to give to the two countries of Zhao and Wei.

The gift to Zhao was called Lian Po's head, and the gift to Wei was called Prince Wu Ji's body.

Lian Po's body was decayed, so only his head could be removed; Prince Wuji committed suicide by cutting his throat, and his head fell to the ground, in tatters, so only his body could be removed.

After these two items were sent out, it was hard to say how the envoys from Zhao and Wei would react.

This is also the reason why Ying Zheng mentioned it just now.

But after all, it is a bit tender.

When Wang He retreated from Handan, he cut off the head of Zhao Qiong, the envoy of Zhao State, tied it to an arrow, and shot it on the wall of Handan City.

Even with such an insult, the State of Zhao did not feel angry or fight to the death.

After all, such integrity and dignity are dispensable for weak countries. Only strong countries will send troops for such reasons, and weak countries are not worthy of it for the time being.

With Qin's current military strength, let alone killing the enemy's envoy, even if they killed the enemy's young master, what big deal would it be?

The result was always the same. The other side responded with a smile, and even asked if Qin had hit the knife.

The carriage was still moving, not slow, but not fast either, just like jogging, moving forward slowly.

This is different from marching and fighting. Back then it was a thousand-mile raid, but now it is more like a hunting outing.

As for whether you will be late, there is no need to worry.

The initiator of the alliance was Qin. The meeting would start when Qin arrived. As for the other countries, if they arrived early, nothing would happen. If they arrived late, they would cede land and pay compensation.

Wang He knew that it might not be easy to explain to Qi and Chu, but they would not do more than launch a rebellion. After all, a big country should behave like a big country, and they would give due face.

Chen Xuan also followed along, and the carriage moved forward little by little.

The road is smooth, at least it seems so now.

Since the end of the war, knights from various countries have entered Qin State, and many Confucian disciples have disguised themselves or come from other countries, all for the purpose of entering Qin State.

Enter Qin and assassinate Ying Zichu, or Ying Zheng.

If successful, you will become famous and your name will be recorded in history. If unsuccessful, it will just become a step, making it more difficult for future generations.

As for whether they would anger the Qin State if they really succeeded, they didn't care and wouldn't care.

For them, as long as they leave a name after death, they have gained benefits. How can a group of common people be recorded in history?

The entire Anyi was surrounded by soldiers.

Less than a month had passed since Wang Jian started the fire, and Anyi now looked somewhat dilapidated.

Most of the city walls were smoked black, and the ground was covered with scorched earth. Most of the ashes and bone fragments were trampled into the ground, but when the wind blew, some dust and ashes still flew up.

Fortunately, Anyi City is not as desolate as it looks from the outside.

Wang Jian arrived in Anyi ahead of time.

Ever since the alliance was proposed, he went back to receive the reward and went all the way to Anyi to set up camp, with the purpose of deterring the villains.

After all, the ashes of the 50,000 Yan soldiers are still buried outside, and the entire Anyi is now as cold as a ghost den.

Most of the envoys from various countries did not come. Except for Han and Wei who arrived early, the others were still on the way.

However, the knights of the six kingdoms arrived quite quickly, and many of them had a clear purpose, which was to target Ying Zheng.
