"Great King."
"Yes, sit."
In a room that should be called the royal study, Ying Zheng sat in front of a desk, slowly reviewing the memorials. Ge Nia, the future number one Sword Saint, stood in the dark, protecting Ying Zheng's safety.
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Baiqi sat down on the futon.
Silence brewed in the room. This was a common method used by emperors and kings to release pressure on their subjects.
However, this move was completely useless against Bai Qi. He closed his eyes to rest, treating it as his own home.
Half an hour later.
Ying Zheng lifted up. "You've changed a lot, but you haven't changed at all."”
Bai Qi was light. "It seems that the king still remembers Baiqi."”
"…I heard that you chopped off the arm of the eunuch you summoned.”
"Yes."
"Good job."
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."
The two of them said something that only the other could understand, and then the next sentence changed.
"In the past two years, Great Qin has stabilized and is in the final stages of military preparations. I plan to attack Han in half a year. Bai Qi, you…"
"Your Majesty, Minister Lyu requests an audience."
Ying Zheng's words were interrupted by the announcement outside the door.
Although it was only for a moment, Bai Qi could clearly see the anger on his face.
"Yes, let Zhongfu in."
Qin Shihuang was still Qin Shihuang. Even though he was still young, he quickly calmed down and spoke in his usual tone.
Soon, Lu Buwei walked in and saw that Bai Qi's expression did not change at all. If he was not mistaken, it should be Zhao Gao who informed him of this matter.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Yes, please take a seat, Father."
Lu Buwei sat down and went straight to the point,""Your Majesty, this subject has come to discuss the matter of attacking the Han Country.”
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said," Zhongfu, I already have a plan for this matter. I have summoned Baiqi into the palace to discuss this matter."”
"This subject believes that General Bai is not suitable to be the main general in attacking the Han Country.”
"Oh? Then who do you think is suitable?"
"Wang Jian's grandson, Wang Li."
Hearing this, Baiqi did not intend to remain silent. Since Lu Buwei had said this in front of him, it meant that he had shed all pretenses of cordiality. In that case, he did not need to keep his dog life.
"Minister Lu thinks that I'm inferior to Wang Li?”
Bai Qi looked at Lu Buwei. Although he was as calm as ever, the coldness in his eyes made Lu Buwei gasp. The suction stopped.
" No, no. It's just that General Bai is still young. This matter is of great importance. I think-"
"Minister Lu, why don't we make a bet?”
Although Baiqi had never given Lu Buwei any face, this was the first time he had interrupted him.
This made Lu Buwei furious, but at the same time, he was also secretly on guard.
"What bet?"
Bai Qi was light. He smiled lightly, but there was no smile.
"It's very simple. Let's bet on whether I can conquer Han without expending a single soldier.”
Hearing his words, both Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng were stunned, and then drew in a cold breath.
No matter how strong an expert was, he was only one person. It was impossible for Baiqi to take down the Han Country by himself.
Perhaps he could tear down the city wall again, but this was very different from the situation in the State of Wei. That was because he had the Qin army behind him, so the soldiers of the State of Wei did not dare to resist.
If he was alone, even if it was a human wave tactic, 100,000 people could drown him!
Thinking of this, Lu Buwei smiled cunningly and said,"" Interesting. What's the bet?"
"It's very simple. If I win, I want the Prime Minister's Estate. Lately, the firewood in the house had been a little insufficient. It should be enough to burn the entire Prime Minister's residence.”
Bai Qi's tone was calm, and it was as if he was not talking about burning down Lu Buwei's residence, but about killing a pheasant.
"You!"
Lu Buwei was furious. He glared at Bai Qi, wishing he could kill him on the spot.
Lu Buwei didn't care about power, but fame. At the same time, his greatest weapon was his fame.
More than half of his henchmen had joined him because of his name. And in history, even though he was expelled to Henan by Ying Zheng, he still received endless guests and envoys from various vassal states, all because of his name.
Thus, if Bai Qi really burned down his Prime Minister Estate, it would be no different from killing him. Regardless of whether he was still the Prime Minister or not, at least half of his foundation would be destroyed!
"What's wrong?" Bai Qi glanced at him." You don't dare to bet, Prime Minister?”
Lu Buwei's expression was twisted as he said fiercely,""Good! Bet! If you can't do it, you'll have to commit suicide on the street.”
"Sure."
Seeing that the two of them had already made a decision, Ying Zheng pretended to be in a difficult position and said,""Both of you are the pillars of the country. Why do you have to place such a big bet?”
" No need, Your Majesty." Lu Buwei waved his hand." I've already decided on this matter."”
Because he was burning with rage, his tone was no longer as pretentious as before, which made Ying Zheng even more determined to get rid of him.
Therefore, the bet was established with Ying Zheng's testimony. Lu Buwei did not have the mood to stay any longer, and he bowed and left angrily.
After he left, Ying Zheng looked at Bai Qi, who had been on his side since the beginning, and had already regarded him as his trusted aide.
"Baiqi, how confident are you in this matter?”
"100%."
