Twelve years had passed since Ying Zheng arrived in the State of Zhao.
Now, young Ying Zheng was a hostage, and he understood his duty.
However, he was also unwilling.
The seven kingdoms were in chaos, and he naturally saw it with his own eyes.
"If I have the ability one day, I will change this world.”
"It's a pity that I can't escape the State of Zhao.”Ying Zheng sighed.
On this day, he met someone.
"Young Master, are you the descendant of the King of Qin?" the man asked.
"I am Lu Buwei. I heard of Young Master's name and came to pay a visit.”
Ying Zheng nodded and looked at Lu Buwei.
That's right, I am Ying Zheng."
"Why are you here today?”
Lu Buwei smiled and nodded.
"Qin and Zhao are mortal enemies."
"Everyone knows that peace is only temporary. War can break out between the two countries at any time.”
"As a prince, are you willing to stay in such a place?”
Ying Zheng clenched his fists tightly, a wave of fury burning in his heart.
"Of course not!"
"But what can I do now? Do I have a chance to escape?”
"I would like to ask, does Young Master have the ambition to ascend to the throne?”Lu Buwei asked tentatively.
Rare goods could be hoarded. This was the principle he had comprehended.
Over the years, Lu Buwei had focused on business, so he would naturally choose the method that would bring him the most benefits.
Farming was just a few times the income, but it also cost a huge amount of time.
Although the benefits of doing business were high, there were also many risks.
Therefore, Lu Buwei decided to secretly support Ying Zheng and help him ascend to the throne of Qin!
Without a doubt, the risk of doing so was huge.
However, this was the Dao that Lu Buwei was pursuing.
"All kinds of Daos have their own characteristics.”
"There are only a few people who can vindicate dao.”
"I, Lu Buwei, am willing to combine the strengths of all Daos!”
"My Dao is called the Mixed Dao.”
Mohist's mechanism path, rule path, and military path, Lu Buwei had studied them deeply, but he could not understand them.
He decided to combine these Great Daos!
However, it was clear that this Dao was very difficult to create.
"Sooner or later, I will create my own Dao.”
"As for the first step, it is to support the future King of Qin.”
"I see a lot of hope in him.”
The young Ying Zheng nodded, but he was not very happy. Instead, he frowned.
"How would I know that you have the ability?”
Lu Buwei smiled. He knew that Ying Zheng had been moved.
"Please wait a little longer, Young Master.”
With that, he left Ying Zheng's residence.
Next, Lu Buwei decided to meet the King of Zhao.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Zhao Wuling asked casually.
"Does Your Majesty understand the current situation in the world?”Lu Buwei said.
"Oh?"
"Tell me." Spirit King Zhao Wu was curious.
"Right now, the Qin Country is weak while the Zhao Country is strong. This is something everyone knows.”
"I think that the hostage of the Qin State, Ying Zheng, should not stay in the State of Zhao for long.”
"Think about it, if we let Ying Zheng go back and wait for him to ascend the throne, he will definitely be on good terms with the King of Zhao.”
Lu Buwei explained patiently.
" Hmph!" Spirit King Zhao Wu snorted coldly, understanding what he was up to.
"You mean, you want me to let Ying Zheng go?”
"The hostages of the Qin country are just going to be released like this?”
"That's right. If we let Ying Zheng go, he will definitely be grateful to Zhao. Only then will there be true peace between the two countries.”
"Your Majesty must have been troubled by the chaos of war for a long time. Why don't you let Ying Zheng go today?”
Lu Buwei persuaded.
Spirit King Zhao Wu sneered, but then he gave the order.
"Release him!"
Lu Buwei smiled and thanked the Spirit King Zhao Wuling before taking his leave.
After Lu Buwei left, the officials were puzzled.
"Your Majesty, why do you want to release the hostages? Wouldn't we have no leverage over the Qin country?”
"That's right. Wouldn't that be letting the tiger return to the mountain?”
"If Ying Zheng really succeeds to the throne, I'm afraid he won't be grateful to His Majesty.”
"Great King! I think that Lu Buwei must have some evil intentions. Why don't we just execute him?”
Spirit King Zhao Wu laughed loudly.
"Dear ministers, listen to me."
"I naturally made plans before deciding to release the hostages of the Qin country.”
"My King Dao has already been repaired, and it's even slightly stronger than before!”
When this news came out, many officials heaved a sigh of relief.
"That's great! With the king here, our Zhao will be strong forever!”
"Yes, Your Majesty is wise. So what if we release the hostages? After all, the Qin country is still a weak country."
"Indeed. If the Qin country has the intention to shed all pretense of cordiality, why would our Zhao country be afraid?”
Zhao Wuling waved his hand.
Releasing the hostages of the State of Qin was just an insignificant matter to him.
And his idea was to attack the State of Qin!
After all, if the hostage was still detained by him, the Zhao Country would lose their righteousness.
This would undoubtedly go against Zhao Wuling's kingly way.
Therefore, releasing the hostages gave them a legitimate reason to start a war.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to go... Deal with him?" Lianpo asked.
Spirit King Zhao Wuling's eyes were deep, but he didn't say anything.
But Lianpo understood what he meant.
Ying Zheng's mansion.
Lu Buwei came to visit again. This time, he came with confidence.
"You are saying that the King of Zhao agrees to let me return to the State of Qin?”Ying Zheng finally felt a little happy.
All these years, he was like a beast trapped in a cage, unable to gain freedom.
"That's right, I've already successfully convinced the King of Zhao. From today onwards, you can return to the State of Qin.”Lu Buwei said.
"Mister, you have helped me this time, Ying Zheng must not forget!”Ying Zheng stood up.
"Alright, let's go then."
Lu Buwei had already made his preparations, and the two of them took the carriage to the State of Qin.
A few days later, the two of them had already left the capital of Zhao.
"Ahead is the border between Zhao and Qin. As long as I cross it, I can return to Qin!”
"Ever since I was born, I grew up in the State of Zhao. I really want to understand the culture and customs of the State of Qin.”
"Finally, I can go back!"
Ying Zheng's eyes were burning with ambition.
"I want to ascend to the throne. I want to defeat the State of Zhao!”
During this period of time, he had seen the chaos in the seven countries.
Between Zhao Country and Qin Country, they would not rest until one of them died.
Countless people were living in misery.
Ying Zheng had secretly sworn a long time ago that he would change this world completely.
"Only true unification can stop the war.”
"I want this world to become one!”
"From now on, there will no longer be any countries, only Great Qin.”
At this moment, Lu Buwei frowned.
"Not good!"
In the distance, a wave of killing intent spread out, and countless illusory soldiers shouted.
