Then, just as King Zhaoxiang was about to fly into a rage, Baiqi took off his armor.
Baiqi planned to strike first and retreat.
Next, Bai Qi unbuttoned his shirt. His body was covered in scars, and they were all old scars.
These scars were densely packed on Bai Qi's body, and it was a ghastly sight to behold.
"Your Majesty, this scar was left behind when I first went to the battlefield. At that time, I was shot in the left arm by an enemy arrow. Blood flowed out, and I grimaced in pain. However, I didn't make a sound and continued to fight bravely with the sword in my hand.”
Bai Qi said softly as he pointed at the scar on his left arm.
"In that battle, I killed four enemies, but I was also injured in five places.”
"These four sword wounds were also left behind at that time.”Bai Qi said as he pointed at the other four sword wounds on his body.
"Back on the battlefield, I thought I was dead for sure, but I didn't expect to survive.”
"And this arrow wound was just a little bit away from my heart. If it wasn't for the slight deviation, I might have died in that battle!”Bai Qi then pointed at the arrow on his left chest near his heart.
The arrow wound was just a little away from his heart. If it had hit his heart, he would have died without a doubt.
"There is also a scar left behind on the battlefield of Chu. Back then, a spear pierced through his entire abdomen. At that time, I thought that he was dead for sure. I didn't expect that he was so lucky that he managed to survive.”Bai Qi pointed at the scar on his abdomen and said.
"And this scar was left behind when we attacked the Han Country.”
"This scar was left behind on the battlefield of the Wei Kingdom!”
……
Bai Qi pointed at the scars on his body as if he was counting his family's treasures.
The others only saw the glory of Baiqi being conferred the title of Lord Wu An, but they did not see the price he had to pay.
It could be said that Baiqi had fought with his life to get from a commoner to where he was today.
Bai Qi was blessed with thousands of honors, but he was riddled with holes.
Everyone in the hall looked at the shocking scars on Bai Qi's body and quietly listened to his explanation. They all fell silent.
Especially the generals in the hall. They had been on the battlefield before and knew how dangerous it was.
Even those civil officials who had never been on the battlefield knew how dangerous it was after hearing Bai Qi's explanation. All of them had terrified expressions.
Before this, they had never truly understood Bai Qi. They had only seen Bai Qi's current glory, and they did not know how many times Bai Qi had been on the verge of death.
At this moment, whether it was the generals or civil officials, even King Zhaoxiang, who was seated above, was moved. All of them fell silent.
At this moment, everyone looked at Bai Qi with admiration and respect.
If a person like Bai Qi was not worthy of their respect, who else in the world was worthy of their respect?
"The luckiest thing in this general's life is to be born in the Qin country and become a citizen of the Qin country. To be able to fight for the Qin country is this general's honor.”
"This is not only the honor of this general, but also the honor of countless soldiers of the Qin country.”
After a long time, Bai Qi finished counting all the scars on his body and spoke again.
"However, this general will never allow someone to slander the Qin soldiers while enjoying glory and wealth on the battlefield, or even betray the interests of the Qin country.”
"Anyone who dares to betray the interests of the Qin country, even if it means death, this general will definitely kill them!”
"This general will never allow anyone to betray the interests of the Qin country. In this general's heart, the interests of the Qin country are above everything else!”
Baiqi continued. His words were meant for the ministers of the court to hear, as a warning, and also for King Zhaoxiang to hear.
And the person who betrayed the interests of Qin State was naturally Fan Ju.
Of course, it was also a vague way to tell everyone why he killed Fan Ju in public. It was because Fan Ju betrayed the interests of the State of Qin, and he abhorred evil, so he risked being punished to kill Fan Ju.
If it was before, everyone would have thought that Baiqi killing Fan Ju on the spot was disrespectful to Qin Zhaoxiang.
However, after seeing the scars on Bai Qi's body and hearing his words about the benefits of the State of Qin being above everything else, no one could continue to blame him.
Of course, they could not bear to blame Bai Qi. Looking at the scars on Bai Qi's body, they were all left behind for the Qin Country. What qualifications did they have to blame Bai Qi?
Furthermore, Baiqi had killed Fan Ju because he had betrayed the interests of the State of Qin.
Baiqi was protecting the interests of the Qin Country, so how could they pursue this matter?
Could it be that Baiqi was wrong to protect the interests of the Qin Country?
With Baiqi's actions, not only did he gain everyone's recognition and respect, he also established the image of Guan Hui as someone who was willing to sacrifice everything for the benefit of the Qin country.
Even King Zhaoxiang was moved when he saw the scars on Bai Qi's body and heard his words.
"Great General, you've worked hard!" King Zhaoxiang could not help but sigh.
At this moment, the anger in his heart for Bai Qi killing Fan Ju had dissipated.
No matter how much he feared Bai Qi, he would not continue to punish a General who had risked his life for Great Qin.
"For the sake of the Qin country, this general will not suffer at all.”Baiqi bowed and cupped his fists at King Zhaoxiang.
"Although Fan Ju is guilty, killing him in court is also a serious crime.”Baiqi continued.
"Lord Wu 'an, you don't have to do this. I have no intention of pursuing this matter.”King Zhaoxiang originally wanted to pursue Baiqi, but after what Baiqi had done, he could not bear to continue pursuing him.
Anyway, Fan Ju was already dead, and Fan Ju had made a mistake this time.
"Your Majesty will not pursue the matter, but the disappearance must be explained to the officials and the people of the world.”
"This general is willing to give up the title of Lord Wu 'an and all the rewards for this meritorious service!”Baiqi bowed.
"Lord Wu An, why must you do this?" King Zhaoxiang frowned slightly.
"I joined the army at the age of fifteen and have been fighting on the battlefield for more than thirty years.”
"It can be said that I have spent most of my life on the battlefield.”
"Your Majesty, I'm tired!"
Bai Qi bowed and said softly.
It was just a sentence,"Your Majesty, I'm tired!"”Hearing this, everyone in the hall felt an inexplicable sadness. The words "I am tired" had too many meanings, especially after they saw the scars on Bai Qi's body.
After Bai Qi finished speaking, he handed over his sword and commander's seal, as well as the token representing Lord Wu 'an. Then, he turned around and slowly walked towards the entrance of the hall.
Everyone in the hall looked at Bai Qi's back as he left. The rising sun stretched him out, making him seem so lonely and desolate, causing everyone to feel an indescribable sadness in their hearts.
In contrast to everyone else in the hall, Bai Qi let out a sigh of relief when he turned around and left. He felt much more relaxed.
Especially when the system's voice rang out in his mind,"Congratulations, you have completed God's Chosen One and obtained the Art of Longevity." This made Baiqi feel inexplicably excited.
The Art of Longevity was not an ordinary cultivation technique. It was an immortal cultivation technique. According to the records of the cultivation technique, one could become immortal when cultivated to the extreme.
With this immortal cultivation technique, why would Baiqi bother with the secular court?
In any case, King Qin Zhaoxiang was already very wary of him. If he continued to stay in the court, King Qin Zhaoxiang might not continue to put him in an important position. He might as well jump out of this court, jump out of this court that was filled with political conspiracies.
This way, the initiative would be in Baiqi's hands and not King Zhaoxiang's.
Advancing was the best way to escape from the whirlpool of the royal court.
"Wu, Wu Anjun really left like this?”
King Zhaoxiang and the officials in the hall watched in a daze as Bai Qi disappeared from the hall.
They did not expect Wu Anjun to be so magnanimous as to leave without any hesitation. He did not care about power and wealth at all.
