Early in the morning, Ying Zheng sat cross-legged on the dragon bed, a faint golden gas swirling around his body. He closed his eyes tightly and used the Longevity Freedom Technique as the foundation. He circulated the Sky-Devouring Demonic Technique and the Indestructible Heavenly Technique, two powerful cultivation techniques, and officially cultivated.
The golden gas entered through his nose and mouth, and then poured out from his ears. This cycle was endless.
He had obtained these two cultivation techniques from the Great Empress and also learned from her that the Sky-Devouring Demon Technique's nature of devouring everything was coincidentally similar to the Longevity Freedom Technique.
Therefore, when the two cultivation techniques were used at the same time, not only would there be no conflict, but there would also be unexpected effects.
After cultivating for the entire night, the sky had already turned bright.
The golden light shone on the horizon, and the white clouds were draped in a red cloak, echoing with the golden gas around Ying Zheng.
When the sun had completely risen, he slowly stopped his cultivation. All the air around him was sucked into his mouth and nose, fusing into his meridians.
He opened his eyes, and two beams of divine light flashed past. His aura changed subtly, becoming sharper and more stable.
He got up to wash up and thought to himself,'The Sky-Devouring Demonic Technique is indeed exquisite. If I can cultivate the Great Dao Treasure Bottle Seal, I can directly devour the essence of the sun and moon, the essence of heaven and earth, and my strength will increase even faster.”
However, this was only a thought for the time being. How difficult was it to cultivate the Great Dao Treasure Bottle Seal?
After washing up and eating, he went to the Town Hall for morning court. The officials reported many things, and Wei Liao reported that the front lines were stable. They were crossing the river and preparing to mobilize 300,000 troops to surround Handan and take down Zhao.
Ying Zheng knew that Li Mu was good at using troops, and if Wang Jian wanted to take Handan from him, it would not be so easy. Therefore, he did not force him too much, but gave Wang Jian enough time.
The Zhao Country attacked the Yan Country and had to deal with the Qin Country. Their forces had already been divided into two. Most of their forces were invested in the war with the Yan Country, causing the number of troops to deal with the Qin Country to be extremely small.
In addition, the Xiongnu were eyeing them in the north. Li Mu was originally a general guarding the border to intimidate the Xiongnu.
But now that they were dispatched to Handan, the northern defense line was empty, and the Xiongnu could attack at any time.
The King of Zhao was deeply worried, afraid that his huge country would be conquered by the Qin Country. At that time, he would have nothing. The Han Country was a bloody example.
The day before yesterday, the King of Zhao sent a general to deliver a document to Qin, willing to cede territory to Qin, allowing Qin's 300,000 troops to withdraw from Zhao's territory.
Ying Zheng refused. The condition he proposed was that the State of Qin would withdraw from the State of Zhao once the war between Yan and Zhao was over.
As long as the war did not stop, the Qin army would stay in the Zhao territory and take the head of the King of Zhao at any time.
Zhao Wang was so angry that he was about to go crazy.
Li Mu had a different opinion on the strategy of ceding territory proposed by the King of Zhao. He openly refuted it. There had already been some friction between him and the King of Zhao. With Guo Kai fanning the flames, the critical moment had arrived.
"Pass down my decree, ordering Old General Wang to attack Handan on the 15th. General Wang's army set out from Jingxing and attacked Handan. Yang Rui and the general's army set off from Hanoi and worked together with Old General Wang's army to attack from the north and south to capture the King of Zhao alive!”
"Prime Minister Li, order the people in Zhao to gather with Guo Kai. Ask the King of Zhao to send Zhao Cong and Yan Ju to replace Li Mu and Sima Shang and counterattack the Qin army!”
Ying Zheng's plan was the same as the one he had given Wang Jian.
Li Si understood and immediately sent a messenger pigeon. Soon, there was movement from the State of Zhao.
Ying Zheng was not in a hurry either. A great war was not a game, and it could not be resolved in a few days. Now, they needed to wait for Guo Kai to succeed. Li Mu and Sima Shang naturally wouldn't become a big problem.
All of this could only be attributed to King Zhao's incompetence.
……
After the morning court session, he returned to his bedroom. Just as he was about to reach the door, a piercing sound came from behind him, heading straight for the back of Ying Zheng's head.
Ying Zheng sensed it, but he ignored it and walked straight into his bedroom.
But soon, a black shadow flashed out from the side and grabbed the object that was attacking him. Then, he walked into the bedroom.
"Your Majesty, it's a letter."
This person was a member of the Network Assassin Group, one of the Six Sword Slaves.
Ying Zheng took the letter. The envelope was made from a piece of animal skin. The soft animal skin was as sharp as a blade.
There were red words written on the beast skin. It was a letter of blood and also a letter of challenge.
"Interesting, you actually declared war on me? Quickly go and find out the latest situation in the Gathering and Scattering Quicksand. I want to see the information in three days.”
"Yes, sir!"
The sword slave retreated and gathered the elite forces of the Network Assassin Group to quickly investigate in the State of Qin.
Ying Zheng put down the beast skin blood letter. The declaration of war was to be held in five days, and these five days were enough time to prepare for the battle.
