When Wang Jian met Ying Zheng's gaze again, he no longer had the panic he had before. Instead, his eyes were filled with strong anticipation.

Seeing Ying Zheng smiling at him, he trembled all over and was so excited that his heart almost stopped beating.

"General Wang, are you willing to fight for the Qin Dynasty for another fifty years?" Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice.

Wang Jian fell to his knees with a thud, knocking over the chairs beside him.

The sudden noise startled Wang Ben.

He almost thought that his father had died from excitement.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Wang Jian's voice: "I am willing to fight for the Great Qin until I die!"

His voice was loud and trembling, and the wrinkles on his face were trembling violently, obviously he was extremely excited.

The others didn't find it funny at all, they were all filled with envy.

Ying Zheng raised his hand, and a transparent wine glass appeared in his palm.

Seeing this ability to transform things out of thin air, the heat on everyone's faces grew more intense.

"This wine can strengthen your physique and increase your lifespan by fifty years," Ying Zheng said slowly, "General Wang, you have worked hard and made great contributions. I give you this glass of wine as a reward!"

"I thank my lord for his great grace!" Wang Jian kowtowed excitedly, and his head banged against the ground with a loud bang, which made Wang Ben tremble with fear.

Ying Zheng handed the wine in his hand to the eunuch beside him, indicating that he should give it to Wang Jian.

The eunuch held the cup of the third-generation Blood Demon enhanced wine, smelled the aroma of the wine, and swallowed hard.

He wished he could drink it in one gulp.

However, reason told him that drinking this glass of wine would not only fail to increase his lifespan, but might even be used to make medicine.

He suppressed his greed and walked step by step to Wang Jian under the envious gazes of everyone.

"General Wang, this is a gift from His Majesty!" the eunuch said sourly.

Wang Jian looked like he was about to die just now, but now he jumped up from the ground like a monkey seeing a banana.

He took the wine handed to him by the eunuch with trembling hands.

Seeing the cup shaking with his hand and the wine in the cup swaying as if it would spill out at any time, he simply tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

The others watched his movements.

Including Ying Zheng who sat back on the dragon throne.

Although he knew the effects of this wine, he couldn't help but feel a little worried about using it on others.

What if this wine doesn't work on others? Under the gazes of everyone, Wang Jian finished the glass of wine.

He carefully put the glass into his arms.

This wine glass is crystal clear and can hold that kind of fairy wine. It is definitely not an ordinary product.

It's good enough to be an heirloom.

As he put away his wine glass, he suddenly heard bursts of exclamations coming from all around him.

"Dad..." Wang Ben looked at him, hesitant to speak.

Wang Jian's heart moved and he raised his hands.

The originally dark and wrinkled back of the hand suddenly became rosy and shiny, and the wrinkles were smoothed out.

Even though he couldn't see his own face, he could feel his body full of energy, and he could almost kill a cow with one punch!

"General Wang has really become younger!"

"Immortal wine, absolutely immortal wine!"

…

The voices that penetrated into his ears made Wang Jian feel even more excited.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. May your Majesty live forever..." He knelt on the ground for a long time, spouting out compliments as if they were free.

A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face.

Wang Jian holds a special position in his heart.

The contributions of this famous Qin general are almost unique, and few can compare with him.

That's why he feels fearful.

Even if the other party retired from the army, he intended to restrict the positions of his descendants in the army.

The king and his minister never talked about this matter, but they knew each other's thoughts.

Being able to have Wang Jian praise him like this, all the guilt in his heart disappeared, and you can imagine how happy he was.

The king is ruthless, but he is not born cold-blooded.

Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?

It’s just that power holds a higher status in their hearts. In order to stabilize their rule and eliminate potential risks, they give up friendship and gradually become isolated.

No one would be unwilling to drink and chat with former comrades.

Now Ying Zheng has more choices.

"Stand up," he said with a smile.

Looking at Ying Zheng's expression, Li Si's eyes flashed and his gaze was eager.

Seeing Wang Jian standing up, he suddenly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty will live forever... It is a blessing for the Qin Dynasty and the world..."

Some other people reacted and knelt down to praise.

Since Ying Zheng could give Wang Jian a glass of wine, there might be a second glass! Li Si felt the reactions of the crowd and was secretly pleased.

He knew that he could not compare with Wang Jian in terms of military achievements, but his contribution to the Qin Dynasty was equally great. All policies came from his hands, otherwise Ying Zheng would not have appointed him as the right prime minister.

Although he is not old now, he is not young either.

How could he not desire a few decades of life?

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si, who was taking the lead in flattering him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If he didn't know how Li Si behaved in other worlds, he might have rewarded him with a glass of longevity wine.

But if loyalty is not absolute, it means absolute disloyalty!

It is impossible for him to be so generous to a guy who contributed to the demise of the Qin Dynasty.

Of course, Li Si has not done such a thing yet, so he cannot punish the other party on false charges.

Besides, Li Si is not Zhao Gao, who is extremely talented, and he still needs him to assist in governing the world.

So he couldn't really have no opinion at all.

This will also prevent the scholars of the world from feeling disheartened and from framing themselves as mean and ungrateful.

It's not that he doesn't have the capacity to tolerate others, otherwise the Qin Dynasty wouldn't have been able to gather all the talents in the world and unify the world! Ying Zheng didn't look at Li Si, but said to Wang Ben: "General Wang Ben is the descendant of General Wang. He fought on the battlefield for the Qin Dynasty and made great contributions..."

When Wang Ben heard Ying Zheng talking about himself, his expression also became excited.

He was originally still resentful of his father's decision to voluntarily retire and return to the countryside. He felt that Ying Zheng was intolerant and had always trusted the Meng family, but was always on guard against the Wang family. He often complained to his father in private.

Now seeing Ying Zheng doing this, there was no resentment in his heart, and he even felt a little ashamed.

Your Majesty has always been thinking about us father and son! After Ying Zheng recounted Wang Ben's contributions, a glass of fine wine appeared in his hand again.

He said: "This wine can enhance the physical fitness of an ordinary person five times, making the drinker transcend ordinary people."

Seeing Wang Ben suddenly startled, he smiled and said, "Why, do you want the same longevity wine as your father?"

Wang Ben came to his senses when he heard that it was not the longevity wine, and hurriedly said, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

After hesitating for a moment, he added: "I think this glass of wine is better."

Although it cannot extend his life, his physique is five times stronger than that of an ordinary person, and he can already imagine what he will become after drinking this wine.

Galloping on the battlefield, it is no problem for one person to resist thousands of troops!

The fact that Ying Zheng bestowed these things upon the father and son one after another was self-evident.

With such strength, why worry about military merit? Sooner or later, I will be able to get a cup of longevity wine before I get old! Listening to his words, Ying Zheng laughed.

He clapped his hands and said, "Good!"

"A good father will have a good son!" he said. "I heard that there is an endless continent at the end of the desert in the northwest, behind the mountains in the southwest, and across the vast ocean in the east and even in the south. I am waiting for you and your son to expand the territory of our Great Qin to even further places!"

Wang Jian and Wang Ben, father and son, knelt down and said, "We will not fail in your mission!"

Looking at the two of them, Ying Zheng always felt it was a bit funny.

After drinking the longevity wine, the father and son seemed to have swapped ages, and the father Wang Jian looked a lot younger.

Ying Zheng smiled and asked the eunuch to bring the second glass of wine to Wang Ben.

After drinking, Wang Ben felt as if he was reborn.

He found that his strength had greatly increased and his five senses had become much sharper.

Seeing that many people were staring at him, Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and Wang Ben suddenly jumped up on the spot.

With a loud bang, he hit the beam nearly ten meters high and fell downwards.

Several ministers around were so frightened that they stepped back, and several of them accidentally tripped.

Wang Ben, who had fallen, jumped up with a somersault and knelt on the ground with a look of surprise on his face: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift of the immortal wine!"

Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head: "This is what you deserve!"

He looked around at everyone and said, "I will reward anyone who has made contributions to the Qin Empire!"

Li Si's eyes were burning and he subconsciously wanted to kneel down again, but he saw Ying Zheng looking at him.

He was delighted and swallowed saliva violently.

"The fact that Great Qin can unify the world has a lot to do with you all. The two kinds of wine in my hand are only rewarded to those who have expanded the territory for Great Qin and made outstanding military achievements..." Ying Zheng said.

Hearing his words, Li Si felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, and his passionate heart instantly cooled down.

The Qin Empire was founded on military power, so it makes sense that the immortal wine was only given as a reward to generals who expanded the territory.

Would he also give up writing and join the army to fight on the battlefield? "But," Ying Zheng changed the subject and said, "You all have made contributions to the Qin Dynasty, so I decided to give you a chance."

He paused, and seeing everyone's eager eyes, he said, "Everyone present, I promise you that you can exchange a cup of fine wine from me that will extend your life by fifty years for only fifty thousand gold!"

There was a buzzing sound in the hall, and everyone couldn't help but make noises.

Some are excited, some are sad.

Few of those who could serve as officials in the Qin Dynasty were of commoner origin.

After years of war, most of these people or the families behind them have accumulated considerable wealth.

Fifty thousand gold is an unattainable amount of money for ordinary people, but for the many civil servants and generals present, many can easily come up with it.

Li Si's expression was quite conflicted.

Although he was the powerful Right Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, his background was not as good as many children from aristocratic families.

This amount of money is not a small sum for him.

He was frowning when he saw Ying Zheng looking at him.

Ying Zheng said: "I have a limited amount of this kind of immortal wine in my hands. If you are interested, you must come and exchange it as soon as possible!"

Seeing someone wanted to speak, he looked at Li Si and said kindly: "Prime Minister Li is a pillar of the Qin Dynasty. I will promise you ten thousand gold coins!"

Ten thousand gold?

Li Si said with surprise: "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Seeing this guy praising himself non-stop, Ying Zheng smiled and encouraged him.

His smile was quite meaningful.

Although Li Si acted very grateful, after the initial excitement, he slowly came to his senses and couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

He was acutely aware that he was not trusted.

But he thought hard and still couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.

"He promised me ten thousand gold coins, which means he is giving me a chance. Although I don't know what happened, I have to be wholeheartedly devoted to him in order to dispel his suspicion." Li Si thought to himself.

Now that Ying Zheng has a chance to become an immortal, he has no more choices.

"If anyone wants to exchange for the longevity wine, feel free to come and register with Prime Minister Li," Ying Zheng said calmly.

Seeing that he was entrusted with such an important task, Li Si felt extremely terrified, but also felt much more at ease.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. His Majesty still trusts me after all!" he thought to himself.

Ying Zheng just used it out of convenience.

He also wanted to take the opportunity to test the other party.

The others suddenly looked at Li Si with burning eyes.

Among the people present, there were only three exceptions.

There is no need to say much about Wang Jian and his son Wang Ben.

One of them got the wine for prolonging life, and the other got the wine for strengthening the physical body. At this moment, they were very proud of themselves and imagined the future, and had no time to care about other things.

Another person is Meng Yi.

Unlike the Wang family, the Meng family was always trusted by Ying Zheng.

Meng Wu, who served as deputy general and destroyed the State of Chu together with Wang Jian, also proposed to retire, but was rejected by Ying Zheng.

He retired from the military because years of injuries had taken their toll on his body.

Meng Wu is now lying in bed, perhaps he will not survive this winter.

His two sons, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, were both trusted by Ying Zheng.

Meng Yi has always been by Ying Zheng's side, and the favor he has received is unmatched.

When Guo Ming was sent to search for the elixir of life, Ying Zheng asked Meng Yi to follow him to see if he had any ulterior motives.

There is no need to say more about Meng Tian.

Of the Qin army's million-strong army, 300,000 elite soldiers were under Meng Tian's command.

Now Ying Zheng’s eldest son Fusu is guarding the Great Wall together with Meng Tian.

Meng Yi was even a little frightened when he heard that Ying Zheng rewarded the Wang father and son and gave such preferential treatment to Li Si, but did not mention a word about the Meng family.

He suspected that something unexpected had happened to his brother, or that he had angered the other party by failing to discover Ziyuan's conspiracy.

Just when Meng Yi was extremely terrified, he heard Ying Zheng ask, "Meng Yi, how is your father's condition?"

Meng Yi was secretly delighted and knelt down hurriedly, saying, "My father is ill in bed. Yesterday he told me that he would not have the opportunity to serve Your Majesty loyally in the future."

How could Ying Zheng not know what he meant.

He smiled and took out a glass of wine and said, "General Meng is loyal to our Great Qin. How can I forget him?"

"Give this wine to him. I am still waiting for him to work with General Wang to expand the territory for our Great Qin!"

"I thank Your Majesty on behalf of my father!" Meng Yi was delighted.

Ying Zheng's statement is enough to prove that his trust and favor for the Meng family has not diminished.

"Besides," Ying Zheng said, "Fusu and Meng Tian are both at the Great Wall. I want you to bring them two cups of wine that can strengthen their bodies!"

"Of course," he added, "In order to avoid any accidents, I will give you an extra glass of wine to strengthen your body!"

Seeing the other glass of wine in his hand, Meng Yi was excited and grateful.

He quickly drank the glass of spider-fortified wine and immediately felt the changes in himself.

Then he carefully took the other three glasses of wine from Ying Zheng.

These three glasses of wine have special lids, so there is no need to worry about them leaking out.

"I still have a few treasures obtained from immortals. Please give them to Fusu and Meng Tian on my behalf!" Ying Zheng said.

Are there any treasures?

Hearing his words, everyone looked over.

Even Wang Jian and Wang Ben's eyes were filled with surprise.

Ying Zheng looked at the Wang family and their son with a smile and said, "When you go to war, I will also give you this treasure!"

After hearing this, everyone became more curious.
