"Clang!"
At the critical moment, a dagger bounced off the sword in front of Ying Rui, creating a crisp sound of metal colliding.
"The position of Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is now in the hands of Yu Lie, the fifth generation of Great Qin.”
He had deliberately slowed down by half a second to wait for his grandfather to call for someone to stop him. In Ying Rui's more spirited eyes, a relaxed look appeared.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness. There's still time, there's still time…"
Even though he had lived for a lifetime, Ying Ji couldn't help but be shocked.
If he really died like this, not only would he be letting down his ancestors, but he would also be letting down Great Qin's hegemony.
Until now, he could finally say loudly that the Ying Royal Family didn't fail to catch up. On the contrary, they even surpassed their master.
"Leave."
Ying Ji was a former leader after all. He quickly regained his composure and waved at the members of the Black Ice Platform.
"Whoosh!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the member of the Black Ice Platform who had attacked earlier quickly disappeared on the spot.
"As a member of the Ying royal family, Rui 'er sincerely rejoices at Grandfather's decision regarding Old General Bai.”
After the storm-like test, Ying Rui no longer remained silent. Instead, he opened his mouth at the right time.
This was the final conclusion and also the final revelation for today. If his grandfather had left it to him to decide, everything would have truly settled down.
"Regarding whether or not to kill Bai Qi, grandfather will not personally deal with it.”
Halfway through his sentence, Ying Ji took a deep look at his grandson Ying Rui, his old eyes shining with a bright light.
He did not show any fear when he committed suicide, and he had both courage and political insight. Great Qin finally had a successor.
"Yes, grandfather!"
Hearing this, Ying Rui cupped his hands together and clearly said the word 'promise'.
"Rui 'er, return to the residence for the time being. Grandfather will make a decision.”
Although he didn't announce it in front of everyone, Ying Ji had already tacitly acknowledged Ying Rui as the new successor. The meaning behind it couldn't be more obvious.
That was to wait for the news of the title in the residence and leave the rest to his grandfather.
"Yes!"
After that silent confrontation, Ying Rui returned to his residence from the palace.
"My Lord has returned safely. I believe that the succession has been successful. I congratulate my Lord.”
Seeing that his lord had returned to the residence, Wei Liao, who came up to him immediately, sincerely congratulated him.
"Obtaining the right to inherit the throne is only the first step to conquering the world. It's not worth mentioning at all.”
Seeing this, Ying Rui waved his hand and didn't take it to heart. Perhaps he was feeling smug.
As the father of his eldest son, Ying Zheng, those were the most basic things, and indeed, they were nothing.
" To become the King of Qin of the strongest country in the seven countries with an extremely ordinary identity is nothing in the eyes of His Lord. This…"
Looking at this extremely calm scene, Wei Liao suddenly realized that with his rich experience, he couldn't see where his Lord's ambition was.
After all, with Great Qin's throne as a starting point, it was quite difficult to imagine how bold they would be.
"Master, if I may be so bold, what about Old General Bai?”
Old General Bai was the role model of Great Qin's army and a hero that could not be ignored. Zhang Han hesitated for a moment before asking.
"As long as I am here, nothing will happen to Old General Bai.”
Protecting Old Bai General Baiqi was also his own business. Ying Rui did not mind the other party's question and said seriously.
"My Lord is so righteous. I believe that many soldiers will be very grateful to Old General Bai.”
Hearing the guarantee from his lord, Zhang Han couldn't help but tremble, refreshing his understanding of the relationship between the monarch and his subjects.
He did not expect that there would be such a young master in the world who was so protective of meritorious officials, confronting the angry King.
With such a convincing master, so what if he was born in an ordinary family? Even if he died, he would continue to serve in the netherworld.
"Plead for Old General Bai's orders. As long as it's Great Qin's people, no one will sit idly by.”
Hearing this, Ying Rui shook his head slightly and spoke in a casual manner.
"Perhaps, this is one of the traits of a king with great talent and strategy.”
Recalling the time when he was recruited by his Lord, Wei Liao smiled.
It was undoubtedly a wise decision to travel thousands of miles from Wei State to Qin State and seek refuge with his Lord, who was born in an ordinary family.
"Father, Zheng 'er has something to say.”
When Ying Rui arrived at the main courtyard, a child's voice came from behind him. When he looked closely, he realized that it was Little Ying Zheng.
"Zheng 'er, what's the matter?"
Turning around, Ying Rui stopped in his tracks and looked at his eldest son, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Old General Bai can't die like this; it will be a great loss for Great Qin in the future. Father, you have to save him.”
Probably because he was in a hurry, Little Ying Zheng did not notice the Qi (qi) on his shoes, even though his shoelaces were messed up.
"Zheng 'er, tell me, why did you save Old General Bai?”
He was waiting for the First Born to come to him. Finding the problem himself was much better than telling him directly.
Seeing this, Ying Rui squatted down and maintained the same height as his eldest son.
"When we attacked the State of Zhao, Old General Bai's decision wasn't wrong.”
"Furthermore, Zheng 'er believes that as long as it's not a crime against the country, our Ying royal family should treat meritorious officials well.”
Beside Little Ying Zheng's childish face, he looked especially serious, and even a little serious.
"Zheng 'er is indeed talented. He already knows so much at such a young age.”
Ying Rui nodded slightly when he heard the words that rang in his ears. A flash of praise for his eldest son flashed in his heart.
Thinking about it carefully, it was normal. In the original history, the eldest son had almost never made a move on a meritorious person, even Wang Jian's family who had made great contributions.
As for the nobles of the Six Nations, they had not caused any trouble. They had let them go at that time. Otherwise, they would have been killed long ago. This was enough to prove the meaning of the word benevolence.
"How can you be so sure that Father will save Old General Bai?”
Pulling back the thoughts that had just flashed by, Ying Rui smiled slightly, and his expression seemed very relaxed.
"Father, don't make fun of Zheng 'er. He clearly knows what he's talking about…"
"There might be a price to pay for saving Old General Bai, but in exchange, we will shorten the process of unifying the world.”
When his father said that he would not save Old General Bai, Little Ying Zheng curled his lips, as he would not believe it no matter what.
"I heard Zheng 'er's knowledge with my own ears, so why would father laugh at him?”
Noticing that his eldest son was in a mess, Ying Rui tied his shoelaces and said in a calm tone.
Even though there wasn't much praise, nor was there any encouragement on the surface, it would be a lie to say that he was unhappy and proud from the way he tied his shoelaces.
