The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

"In my eyes, you are a rare commodity!"

Chapter 111 Ying Zheng, Comforted

"Rare goods are hoarded; it's a familiar story indeed."

Upon hearing the words "rare commodity," Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh, then his gaze hardened. "You knew my identity all along?"

Since you already knew his identity, why did you take the initiative to ask him earlier?

Ying Zheng was very curious.

Jiang Chuan gave the answer, "Yes."

"I wanted to see if the King of Qin would be honest in this life-or-death situation, but I was somewhat disappointed."

"However, I can understand why the King of Qin chose to remain anonymous, but I cannot be dishonest with him because of that."

Ying Zheng gradually realized that this was probably the reason why Jiang Chuan had directly told him about his origins and past after meeting him, seeking only sincerity. Only by being honest with him could he dispel his wariness.

It must be said that Jiang Chuan's move was very effective.

Even though he knew Jiang Chuan was one of Ji Wuye's men, Ying Zheng did not feel any aversion towards Jiang Chuan because Ru Shuang had intervened and stopped Duan Shui's assassination attempt, thus saving him from a life-or-death crisis.

On the contrary, Jiang Chuan's frankness amused him.

At the same time, I also felt a sense of relief.

Without a doubt, this is someone with ulterior motives.

He actually enjoys interacting with people like that.

Because they have ulterior motives, it means they have something to ask for.

Those who are without desires or wants are the most difficult to get along with.

"What do you want from me?" Ying Zheng asked Jiang Chuan in a strange tone.

He never imagined that even in his current state, someone would still choose to invest in him.

Currently in Xinzheng, he has been targeted by two assassins from the top ranks of the Luo Wang organization.

It seems that once we return to Xianyang, we will be safe.

But the events in Xinzheng have already exposed the people behind the scenes. What will happen when they actually return to Xianyang? Who can say for sure?

Even leaving Xinzheng alive was a question.

Ying Zheng was filled with emotion.

"I only want a pardon from the King of Qin!"

Jiang Chuan's words piqued Ying Zheng's curiosity. "What pardon?"

"A pardon from the snare."

"Once you enter the Net, you are no longer in control of your own destiny. The Net organization, with the help of the Qin state, has been constantly growing stronger. Its influence has spread to all the countries in the world. All the people in the Net are just tools of the organization's controllers. Tools cannot have their own emotions. Even the top-ranking assassins in the Net, the Heavenly One, are nothing more than sword slaves."

"Similarly, this organization has zero tolerance for traitors. Anyone who tries to betray the organization will only face death. If they don't die, it only means that there is still greater value to be discovered."

“Since my wife betrayed the Net, we have lived a life of constant fear and uncertainty. Even after joining the Nightfall organization and becoming one of its high-ranking members, this sense of unease has never disappeared.”

"Because I know very well that the power of the Net is far beyond what Nightfall can contend with. Not to mention, Nightfall and the Net are in a cooperative relationship. If our identities are exposed, it will only bring us trouble."

"Therefore, for the sake of our children, I must find a way out from the outside."

"Only today have I found a way to break this deadlock."

Jiang Chuan's gaze returned to Ying Zheng's face.

Ying Zheng was a smart man, and of course he understood what Jiang Chuan was saying.

"The Luo Wang organization has strict rules, and it is impossible to escape its pursuit from within. But even Luo Wang must obey someone else, and that person is the master of Qin."

“As long as the master of Qin speaks up, even the rules of the Luo Net can be rewritten.”

Ying Zheng spoke softly, his words carrying a hint of regret.

Do you believe I can become the true master of Qin?

This is also one of Ying Zheng's recent dilemmas.

He ascended the throne as a young boy and became the King of Qin. Even at a very young age, Ying Zheng was determined to accomplish great things and had lofty ambitions.

However, despite having grand ambitions, they lack the opportunity to realize them.

Later, by chance, he came across Han Fei's works and was amazed by his extraordinary talent.

He immediately concluded that Han Fei was his confidant and someone who could help him accomplish his grand ambitions.

So he took Gai Nie and secretly left the palace, heading straight to Xinzheng.

It was after arriving in Xinzheng that his dream was suddenly shattered.

First, Han Fei rejected him, making him realize that reality is not always as he imagined.

Afterwards, the Eight Linglong followed, even without revealing their true forms, the Heavenly First-Class Xuanjian of the Luowang.

The murderous intent of the Eight Linglongs also made Ying Zheng realize his predicament.

Do I really have the chance to become the true master of the Qin state?

In the past, he thought that once he reached adulthood, he could take control of the government and everything.

Now, he is starting to feel lost about the future.

Why not?

“In the past, Chong’er, Duke Huan of Qi, and even King Goujian of Yue were all trapped in difficulties, but eventually they got out of the predicament and achieved great things. Temporary difficulties and temporary gains and losses are nothing.”

"As long as you can face it calmly and think of ways to get out of trouble, there will always be a chance to get out of trouble."

"Just like me, I have found the opportunity to escape the snare."

"This opportunity should come from the King of Qin."

"Therefore, King Qin must also strive to pull himself together, get out of the current predicament, and become the true master of Qin. Only in this way can he live up to my expectations."

Ying Zheng was taken aback again upon hearing these words.

So, he was comforted?

This feeling is truly unique (because of the money).

Although he was the king of Qin, he was forced to be a hostage in Zhao when he was very young, living a precarious life. After returning to Qin, he was forced to scheme and fight for the position of crown prince.

When he finally became king, he found that age was his biggest constraint. Because he had never ruled in his own right, he was forced to be a puppet and watch helplessly as others took control of the country.

As he grew older, he became increasingly frustrated. He longed to break free from his constraints and to confide in someone about his inner turmoil.

This person was his mother when he was a child.

However, in recent years, as the Empress Dowager went to Yongcheng, the relationship between the mother and son gradually became distant.

He became a truly isolated person.

Even Ying Zheng did not expect that he would be here, being comforted by someone.

This is clearly the first time I've met this person.

Chapter 112 The Battle of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue

This feeling is truly unique.

Perhaps because Jiang Chuan thought highly of him, the confusion that had been shrouding Ying Zheng's heart gradually dissipated.

Yes, temporary successes and failures, temporary difficulties, are nothing to worry about.

As long as he faces the difficulties before him and breaks free from the many shackles binding him, he still has the opportunity to realize his grand ambitions.

Because he was the true king of Qin.

Marquis Changxin, Lao Ai, and Marquis Wenxin, Lü Buwei—these people were merely subjects.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng suddenly felt an immense surge of confidence.

He wanted to see how many more crises awaited him ahead, and he would face those crises and those who plotted against him one by one.

Ying Zheng's conviction suddenly hardened.

He looked at Jiang Chuan beside him and said, "I can grant your request. After I assume power and take control of the Luo Wang, I will grant you a pardon and let the Luo Wang stop bothering you."

"Of course, the premise is that I can actually get to that point."

"I believe that the King of Qin will definitely be able to reach that point, and I'll wait and see." Jiang Chuan's words were filled with boundless confidence in Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng looked at Jiang Chuan in surprise, not expecting that the person in front of him would trust him so much.

Jiang Chuan laughed 280 times, but didn't say anything more. Instead, he looked to the side.

The battle between Frost and Water Breaker continues.

Although Duan Shui only has one arm, perhaps because he only has one hand, he has to put in more effort than ordinary people to cultivate in order to gain greater power.

His sword was swift, and the Broken Water Sword possessed an incomparably sharp sword aura.
