Daqin: Sign in with Princess Honglian at the beginning

Chapter 220 Li Si meets Wang Zhi

On the other side, the long night continued, with a bright moon in the sky and moonlight shining down.

Li Si walked out of the tent alone. There were tents everywhere around him, and blazing flames on both sides, lighting up everything around him.

Li Si looked at the starry sky and walked out slowly, but in his mind he recalled the conversation between Han Fei and Ying Zheng before their last separation. Their eyes were sincere and they appreciated each other, but he could only stand beside the carriage as a spectator.

In his mind, Ying Zheng extended his hand to invite him: "I want to forge a sword for the emperor. Would you like to join me in creating this dream of a country that will last for thousands of years?"

In Li Si's mind, he imagined that it was himself, not Han Fei, who was standing next to Ying Zheng.

However, this was just his own fantasy. What Ying Zheng really liked was the talented Han Fei.

Li Si sighed quietly, Han Fei's talent was so high that he could only look up to him, but he couldn't be worse than Han Fei, so why did he get all the treatment he deserved?

The feeling of powerlessness and frustration made Li Si feel frustrated and wondered why Han Fei was born if Li Si was born.

Ying Zheng invited him to hold his hand and dreamed of ruling a country for eternity. Li Si also wanted to be valued by Ying Zheng like Han Fei and become the man behind Ying Zheng.

Envy, jealousy, melancholy, sighs, hesitation, at this moment, Li Si's emotions were mixed, but he had nowhere to express them.

At this time, the guards around Wang Xi clasped their fists and said, "Lord Li Si, the left minister invites you."

Li Si frowned: "Wang Zhi?"

Then he stood up and followed his personal soldiers to Wang Xi's tent.

Li Si lifted the curtain of General Wang Zhi's tent, walked slowly to the table, knelt down, and asked, "General Wang Zhi, I wonder why you invited me so late at night?"

Wang Xi sighed, then stood up and said with a worried look in his eyes: "The situation in the Qin court is very treacherous right now. The forces of various parties are intertwined, and the Qin is in chaos."

"And the Qin army is exactly what all the forces want to get involved in."

Wang Xi walked slowly, wearing armor and with a head full of white hair, and came behind Li Si and continued, "Master Shang is alone outside, his whereabouts are uncertain, and his strength is insufficient, so it is inevitable that he will be coveted by bad people."

"The king has been in power for a short time, but the court and the country are not at peace."

Wang Xi's meaning was very clear. There were several forces in Qin State constantly competing with each other. Ying Zheng took power and became the king of Qin, but he suddenly appeared in Wusui.

Ying Zheng's identity is very important. If someone kidnaps Ying Zheng, the Qin State will definitely be in turmoil.

If the ruler of a country falls into the hands of a thief, no matter who he is, he can easily shake the foundation of the Qin State.

Li Si was also a smart man, although not as smart as Han Fei, but he knew that Wang Chen was definitely not looking for him to discuss these things, but wanted to test him.

Li Si's face was calm, and he said without revealing his emotion: "In the court, there is the Queen Mother behind the scenes, and Prime Minister Lu assists outside. How can there be unrest? General, are you worrying too much?"

Wang Xi turned around and said, "Now that I remember, Lord Li was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Li Si stood up and said respectfully, "Li Si was able to enter the official career thanks to Prime Minister Lu's favor. Li Si will naturally not forget Prime Minister Lu's kindness."

Wang Xi's eyes were cold and he asked in a low voice, "Why is Lord Li with Master Shang today? Instead of fulfilling his mission as an envoy and returning to Xianyang immediately?"

By this time, Li Si had already discovered that Wang Zhi's tone was quite wrong, or in other words, he was not on Ying Zheng's side in his heart.

However, Li Si was very familiar with the emperor's mind, his face remained unchanged, and he said: "Your Majesty respects Prime Minister Lu as your uncle. If I serve Prime Minister Lu, I will naturally be loyal to Your Majesty."

"General, as the left minister, you have served three generations of Qin kings. I think you should understand this principle?"

Li Si asked in return, meaning that the king is the king of Qin, and no matter how powerful Prime Minister Lu is, he is only the prime minister of Qin. Serving the king is the duty of a minister.

Wang Xi chuckled, returned to his seat and slowly sat down. He picked up the wine pot with his left hand, poured a glass of fine wine, and continued, "Lord Li is right, but this general still has one thing unclear."

Wang Xi continued to ask: "Master Shang is of noble status. It just so happens that there is a major conflict between Qin and Han. Why did you suddenly appear in Wusui, the border between the two countries? These places will endanger Master Shang's safety."

Li Si calmly replied: "Master Shang, he just returned from Korea."

There is nothing to hide now. The net appears, night falls, and the news has been passed to Qin.

Wang Xi suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand, his eyes revealing worry, confusion, doubt, and a hint of anger.

He said, "Han State, this, this is not taking risks alone? Qin State is the most powerful of the seven states. This trip will inevitably lead to great risks. Why would Master Shang do this?"

Wang Xi's facial expressions and movements were very appropriate, fully showing the worries that a subject should have, and a person with less cunning might be fooled.

In fact, because Master Shang went to Korea without caring about his own safety, anger appeared between his brows and he clenched the wine glass in his hand.

Li Si saw everything, but Master Shang was of such a noble status that it was impossible for him to trust Wang Xi, who was only a stranger to him.

Li Si sighed and said, "It is indeed as the general said. Master Shang has been in danger many times in Han State, and there are dangers everywhere around him."

"If it was Mr. Gai Nie who tried his best to protect him, Master Shang would not have been able to reach Wusui safely."

Wang Xi was furious. He clenched his right fist and slammed it hard on the table. With a bang, he said angrily, "How dare South Korea do such a thing?"

Wang Xi waved his right hand and said loudly: "Tomorrow I will send troops to Nanyang to seek justice for Master Shang."

"The Pingyang Heavy Armored Army will reappear in Han State to let them know that the King of Qin is not so easy to bully."

Wang Xi was furious and murderous, and he fully demonstrated the veteran general's temper, worry, iron-bloodedness and loyalty.

In order to seek justice for Master Shang, Wang Xi angrily wanted to send troops to the Kingdom of Han to vent his anger for Master Shang.

Perhaps among these, only the beating of South Korea is true, after all, Wang Xi really pinned South Korea to the ground and hammered it.

Li Si took his time, picked up the wine pot and filled Wang Xi's glass with wine, and said, "It is not that Han State was rude and put Master Shang in danger."

"The crisis that Master Shang is facing really comes from Luowang and Ba Linglong."

"Eight Linglong?"

Wang Xi raised his right hand, stroked his gray beard, and said thoughtfully: "I have heard that Ba Linglong is the top assassin group in the martial arts world. They have been killing people in the Seven Kingdoms. No matter if they are royal nobles or generals in the army, they are all their targets."

"I didn't expect that they would dare to focus their attention on Master Shang."

Wang Xi suddenly sighed and said, "Brothers fighting against each other is just like this, why do we have to kill each other?"
