"Luo Bing did it on purpose!"

Xiong Qi frowned.

Luo Bing was invited by them to guide the army in the southern expedition, but Luo Bing teased Tu Ju again and again, which was very abnormal.

Moreover, according to their intelligence, Tu Ju and Luo Bing had never met each other, nor did they know each other, let alone have any hatred.

As one of the four towns in Bingzhou, it is impossible for Luo Bing to provoke a top general of Qin for no reason.

But Luo Bing still did it. There is only one possible outcome: Luo Bing did it on purpose.

Just why?

Everyone is wondering.

It makes absolutely no sense.

A man broke into the war chess simulation room of the National Guard Mansion and separated Luo Bing and Tu Ju who were fighting with just an ordinary bronze sword.

When Luo Bing saw who was coming, he immediately stopped.

Tu Ju wanted to move forward, but was held back by others.

"Isn't it embarrassing enough?" Ying Zheng, dressed in a dark robe, walked into the hall and glanced at Tu Ju coldly.

"I dare not!" Tu Ju saw who was coming and did not dare to get angry again.

After separating the two men, Gai Nie retracted his sword and stood behind Ying Zheng.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, General!" Ying Zheng bowed and saluted Luo Bing.

"You are too polite, King Qin!" Luo Bing also hurriedly returned the greeting.

"General, please go and have a rest first!" Ying Zheng looked at Wang Ben and signaled Wang Ben to take Luo Bing away.

Wang Ben understood immediately and walked straight to Luo Bing.

Luo Bing also knew that Ying Zheng was probably going to teach Tu Ju a lesson, so he did not linger any longer. After paying his respects, he followed Wang Ben away.

The entire war chess simulation room was filled with Qin's civil and military officers.

Ying Zheng calmly walked to the main seat and sat down without saying a word. Everyone also looked at him in silence, not daring to say another word.

Tu Ju and Zhao Tuo were also covered in cold sweats. No one informed them that Ying Zheng and the Nine Ministers were right next door.

"Tu Ju, do you know your crime?" After a long while, Ying Zheng opened his mouth and scolded.

"I admit my guilt." Tu Ju also calmed down.

"Father, actually we can't blame General Tu Ju!" Fusu stepped forward and pleaded for Tu Ju.

Ying Zheng frowned and looked at Fusu.

"General Tu Ju is obviously being targeted." Fusu continued to explain.

No one knows why Luo Bing is so angry with Tu Ju, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Luo Bing has been targeting Tu Ju from the very beginning today.

"Indeed, whether in the war chess simulation or off the field, General Luo Bing seemed to be deliberately provoking General Tu Ju's anger." Xiong Qi also spoke up to help explain.

Tu Ju looked at Fusu and Xiong Qi with emotion.

He doesn't know why either.

He had never known Luo Bing before, but he had been extremely polite and respectful to Luo Bing in the past two days.

As a result, as soon as he got here today, Luo Bing started teasing him, and even used the entire army to rush at him in the war game. He would even sacrifice the entire army to kill him. In this situation, who can withstand it?

Who would believe that there is no personal grudge?

However, Tu Ju thought about all her relatives and friends, but couldn't think of anyone who had any connection with Luo Bing, let alone making an enemy of him.

He was just a general in the Qin State, and his relatives and friends were not as good as him, let alone being qualified to offend Luo Bing, the general of the four towns in Bingzhou.

Ying Zheng was actually wondering about this. If they were not the tallest among the short ones, Tu Ju would not have been qualified to meet a general of Luo Bing's level. "If it weren't for Mr. Gai Nie's intervention, you would have been defeated. This is your fault!" Ying Zheng made up an excuse.

Tu Ju confessed his guilt decisively. If Gai Nie had not taken action, he would have been beaten to a pulp by Luo Bing.

"I think that General Luo Bing is not targeting General Tu Ju out of personal vengeance!" Hei Bai Xuan Jian suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?" Everyone turned their eyes to Hei Bai Xuan Jian.

"Emperor Lingji!" Hei Bai Xuan Jian pronounced the title word by word, Yan Lingji.

"Emperor Lingji!" Xiong Qi suddenly realized.

If it is related to Yan Lingji, then it seems to make sense.

Yan Lingji is the Holy Maiden of Baiyue. Although this is acknowledged by themselves and not necessarily recognized by the Baiyue people, with the instigation of the Tan Tai family, no one in Baiyue stood up to oppose it. Obviously, everyone tacitly acknowledged that Yan Lingji is the Holy Maiden of Baiyue.

Therefore, if the Qin State wanted to attack Baiyue, Yan Lingji had to make a show no matter what.

Tu Ju's tyranny would probably lead to massacres among the Baiyue people, so Luo Bing's goal was to force Qin to replace him with a moderate general to go to the Baiyue.

It can be felt from Luo Bing's repeated war chess simulations and words that Luo Bing did not oppose Qin's attack on Baiyue, but he was unwilling to cause bloodshed.

"After all, Di Lingji is the Holy Maiden of Baiyue. Even if she cannot stop the empire's southern expedition, she would never want to see the lives of the Baiyue people suffer. So, General Luo Bing is doing his best to prevent the generals who are on the southern expedition from being too cruel." Hei Bai Xuan Jian explained.

Ying Zheng nodded and agreed with this statement.

Bingzhou will not interfere in Qin's affairs, but it will not do nothing either.

Tu Ju's character was too violent, which was not a good thing for the Baiyue people.

However, he also appointed Tu Ju as the commander-in-chief of the southern expedition. The appointment letter had been issued, and the entire army was aware of it. It was unlikely to change the commander at this time.

"If you don't want to be targeted by the Military Control Commission and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, you can do whatever you want!" Ying Zheng said coldly.

If Tu Ju really committed atrocities and massacred people in Baiyue, she might be targeted by the Military Control Commission and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

By that time, the emperor would be far away and the Military Control Commission and the Embroidered Uniform Guard would have no less than a hundred ways to kill Tu Ju and prevent the Qin State from finding any evidence.

Ying Zheng had no doubt about this.

Tu Ju just felt his scalp tingling. No one told him that he would offend the Princess of Bingzhou by marching south. He never expected that he would be targeted by the Military Control Commission and the Embroidered Uniform Guard before he even set out.

He has a violent temper, but this has never become a reality.

"Why is Brother Luo Bing targeting General Tu Ju so much? It seems that Brother Luo Bing and General Tu Ju don't know each other?" Wang Ben asked tentatively on the way.

"He didn't offend me, but he might have offended Di Lingji!" Luo Bing did not hide it.

Yesterday he also received a secret letter from the Military Control Commission, asking him to target Tu Ju. Even if he could not remove Tu Ju from his post, he must prevent Tu Ju from causing massacres in Baiyue.

That’s why what happened today happened.

"So that's it!" Wang Ben understood.

"In the ceremony of unification, Brother Wang Ben should be conferred the title of Marquis of Wu, right?" Luo Bing asked with a smile.

"Marquis Tongwu!" Wang Ben did not hide it. Someone had informed him of these things in advance, and he did not know about them until the time of the enthronement.

"Congratulations!" Luo Bing congratulated with a smile.

"I can't compare with Brother Luo Bing, who made great contributions to the founding of the country. If nothing unexpected happens, Brother Luo Bing should be conferred the title of king at the end-of-year court session in Bingzhou this year!" Wang Ben asked in the same flattering manner, with envy in his eyes.

There seems to be only a fine line between being a marquis and being a lord, but their status is indeed very different.

It’s a pity that the Qin State was not founded, otherwise, based on his military achievements, he would have been worthy of being named a lord.

"King of Zhenxi!" Luo Bing said his title with a smile.

"But it can't be hereditary!" Luo Bing sighed.

Wang Cheng could trust him, but he would not allow these generals of the four towns to become hereditary nobles of local separatist regimes.
