Chapter 86 Bai Qi’s request; Ying Lou finally got what he was waiting for
"My Lord, do you think these thorns are enough?"

The chief steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion ordered his servants to carry two large baskets of thorn branches to the front of Bai Qi and his two companions.

"Nonsense, just take one or two to deal with it, why do you need so many!"

Lu Buwei glared at the housekeeper in his mansion and scolded him.

"It's okay, it's okay. I even think it's a little too little!"

Bai Qi didn't care. He stretched out his big hands full of calluses, tightly grasped the thorn branches, and put them directly behind his naked back.

Then he ordered his servants to tie the thorns tightly around his body with thick ropes.

The sharp thorns instantly scratched the skin on his back, and traces of blood flowed out.

"Let's go to Qilin Palace and meet the king."

Bai Qi roared and did not choose to get on the carriage. Instead, he walked step by step towards the Qilin Palace.

"Haha, you are worthy of being General Bai."

"Li Si, go inform all the officials and have them follow General Bai. We will go on foot to meet the king together."

Done.

Lu Buwei took a step forward and followed closely behind Bai Qi.

And an hour later.

Afang Palace, Qilin Hall.

"I, Bai Qi, have entered the city without an imperial decree. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Bai Qi knelt on one knee and shouted loudly facing Ying Lou who was sitting on the dragon throne.

The powerful voice made the ears of some delicate officials buzz.

"General Bai, what's on your back?"

Looking at Bai Qi, who was naked from the waist up and carrying at least dozens of kilograms of thorns on his back, Ying Lou did not let him stand up first, but asked.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty and I hope you will punish me!"

"Punishment? You entered Xianyang City against the will of the previous king. Do you want me to chop you down?"

Although Ying Lou said it lightly.

But as soon as these words were spoken, many officials in the hall immediately knelt down and pleaded for Bai Qi to Ying Lou.

"Your Majesty, General Bai has been worrying about the country. Now that Chu, Tang, and Qi are attacking Qin, General Bai is also concerned about Qin. I hope Your Majesty will show mercy!"

"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me."

Looking carefully, Ying Lou discovered that those who pleaded for Bai Qi, except for a few veteran generals in the army, were basically Lu Buwei's followers.

"My king, after we defeat the coalition of the three kingdoms, I will offer this head to you with both hands!"

Bai Qi raised his head and spoke to Ying Lou in an unquestionable tone.

"The Three Kingdoms are attacking Qin, with an allied force of more than one million. Are you so confident that I will hand over the position of the chief general to you?"

Ying Lou stood up from the dragon throne and ignored the pleas of his ministers.

"My king, is there anyone worthy enough to compete with me for the position of commander?"

Bai Qi's self-confidence did not come out of thin air. Decades of undefeated record gave him reason to be proud, even though he was nearly 70 years old.

"Your Majesty, Wang Jian, the commander of the Wang family army in Longguan, requests that he will not return to the interior of the country until the three kingdoms' coalition is defeated."

Sudden.

A man in his forties, tall and as tall as Bai Qi, stood up.

Although there is an indescribable majesty between his brows, his deep eyes seem to be able to see into people's hearts. They are calm and mysterious.

Although he was a military general, he was also extremely wise.

This person was the one Huayang wanted to recommend last night.

He was also General Wang Jian, the one who had made numerous military achievements among the Longguan warlords since Bai Qi.

With Wang Jian’s self-recommendation, there was an uproar in the court.

Even Lu Buwei did not expect that someone would dare to compete with Bai Qi for the position of chief general.

"Bai Qi, Wang Jian, do you think that my Ying clan does not exist?"

"Your Majesty, Ying Dang and Ying Ji request your permission to lead the troops to attack Chu, Tang, and Qi!"

Now, Qilin Hall became more lively.

Not only did Lu Buwei and the Longguan gentry come out to fight for military power, even the always low-key Ying clan wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Sure enough, since ancient times, war has been the best opportunity to seize power.

"Your Majesty, General Bai has never been defeated in his life, so he is the most suitable commander." "No, General Bai is old and has not led troops for many years. I think General Wang Jian is more suitable."

"Nonsense, who can compare to General Ying Ji in terms of deployment of troops, and who can compare to General Ying Dang in terms of bravery and fighting skills?"

The three forces were arguing endlessly in the Qilin Palace.

Even the prime minister Lu Buwei, who usually remained calm even in the face of disasters, closed his eyes and frowned slightly.

The appearance of Yingdang and Ying Ji was within his expectations.

However, the sudden intervention of the Longguan gentry was somewhat unexpected.

"The Longguan nobles are competing with me for the military token. This is an obvious intention. Could it be..."

Lu Buwei suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Huayang who was sitting beside him, and then looked at the other's stomach.

"There seems to be no news of Huayang breaking into the king's bedroom at night in the past few days. Could it be that Huayang is pregnant with a dragon seed?"

Lu Buwei understood it instantly. If Huayang was really pregnant with a dragon seed, then the Longguan nobles would definitely stand on Ying Lou's side.

"Haha, do you think this can stop me?"

Lu Buwei snorted lightly, then gave Bai Qi a look.

"Humph, you cunning fellow!"

Bai Qi snorted lightly, then stood up and scattered the thorns on his back to the ground.

"Shut up, me!"

When Bai Qi shouted, everyone fell silent instantly.

The thick murderous atmosphere made the people in the hall feel as if they were on a bloody battlefield.

Even some young eunuchs who lacked masculinity were so frightened that they became incontinent and fainted on the spot.

this moment.

The butcher Bai Qi who killed 400,000 enemy soldiers in one battle seemed to have returned.

"My lord, I beg your mercy!"

Just a few words once again expressed Bai Qi's attitude.

"Oh, General Bai has never been defeated, but that was many years ago. The Three Kingdoms' attack on Qin is related to the survival of the entire Qin Dynasty. Why do I trust you?"

Ying Lou, who had always been in poor health, remained calm at this moment, which surprised the ministers below.

"If I lose this battle, I will not only surrender my head, but also hand over the Bai Family Army Tiger Talisman given by King Zhao of Qin!"

As soon as these words were spoken, people in the hall began to whisper to each other again.

"Okay, I know General Bai's determination!"

"Wang Jian, Ying Dang, Ying Ji, do you three still want to fight for the position of commander?"

Ying Lou slammed the handrail and asked the other three people below.

"My lord, I don't dare!"

The three of them knelt down together and shouted at the same time with their heads down.

"Bai Qi, listen to my orders. I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the three armies and command 550,000 troops. You must annihilate the three kingdoms of Chu, Tang, and Qi and shock the might of the Qin Empire!"

"Wang Jian, Ying Dang, and Ying Ji will each lead 80,000 troops and go to war with General Bai Qi!"

Ying Lou issued the king's decree in front of all the civil and military officials with an irrefutable aura.

"We obey your orders! We are willing to do our best for the great cause of Qin's unification!"

Four people in the audience knelt on the ground.

"My lord, I have something to ask of you!"

Bai Qi suddenly said.
