Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

This is no longer a simple act of revenge, but the most cruel form of destroying a person's soul, from their identity to their beliefs!

He foresaw Jidan's future, an ending that would be incredibly dark and hopeless.

That would be a thousand times more painful than killing him with a sword!

"...You are more terrifying than I imagined."

Wei Zhuang remained silent for a long time before finally uttering only this sentence.

The anger in his heart was somewhat suppressed by the chill brought about by Qin Chuan's profound scheme.

Qin Chuan did not respond, his gaze fixed outside the tent.

In the distance, the outline of Ji, the capital of the Yan state, teetered on the brink of collapse amidst the flames of war.

On the table, Jing Ke's orphan slept peacefully, while on Wei Zhuang's Shark Tooth Sword, the lingering fear in Ji Dan's daughter's eyes seemed to remain.

Soon after, deafening shouts of battle and the sound of war drums shattered the last vestiges of tranquility in Yandu.

Under Qin Chuan's command, the Qin army breached the gates of Jicheng with overwhelming force.

When King Xi of Yan was captured, the banner symbolizing the royal power of Yan was cut down and fell to the ground.

The State of Yan has officially come to an end!

Inside the command tent, Jing Ke's son, who was not yet three years old, was sleeping peacefully.

Meanwhile, in the distant Mo Family City, the current leader of the Mo Family, holding his daughter, who was also under three years old and had become withdrawn and silent after witnessing the tragic death of her "father," began a new round of lying low and plotting, his eyes burning with twisted hatred and madness.

Unbeknownst to him, an invisible net, far more terrifying than death, had already locked him firmly in place.

His path to destruction has only just begun.

Chapter 59 The Azure Dragon Plan? A Fishing Plan!

The Qin army's iron cavalry trampled through the capital of Yan, and the triumphant army returned to the capital in a grand procession.

Inside Xianyang city, banners fluttered and the people cheered.

However, besides matters of national importance, Qin Chuan also had to keep his promise to Jing Ke in mind.

Upon returning to his residence, Qin Chuan immediately summoned Gongsun Li.

Li Ji looked much more haggard, but her eyes held a quiet resilience.

When Qin Chuan brought the baby boy, who was sleeping peacefully in his swaddling clothes and was not yet three years old, to her, Li Ji's tears instantly flowed uncontrollably.

She took the child with trembling hands and held him tightly in her arms, as if holding Jing Ke's last breath.

"The child...does he have a name?"

Li Ji asked, her voice choked with emotion.

Qin Chuan shook his head: "Ji Dan was discarded casually and was never named."

Li Ji looked down at the child's pure sleeping face, her eyes filled with love and determination.

She looked up at Qin Chuan, her eyes pleading:

“My lord, I have no way to repay your great kindness. This child is Jing Ke’s only bloodline. I humbly request that you bestow a name upon him.”

She hoped that this strong person who changed her destiny and gave her child a chance to live could give the child a name, a hope.

Looking at the gradually brightening sky outside the window, Qin Chuan pondered for a moment: "Tianming. Let's name him Jing Tianming. May he be able to step out of the shadow of his father and, like the light of dawn, have a clear future of his own."

"Jing Tianming..." Li Ji murmured softly, tears streaming down her face, yet a smile of relief curved her lips. "A good name... Jing Tianming..."

She looked at Qin Chuan again, her eyes resolute, "Young Master, Li Ji has one more request."

"Please, young master, send Tianming away."

Li Ji's voice was filled with reluctance, yet exceptionally clear:

“Send him to an ordinary, kind farming family. Let him stay away from power struggles and all grudges and disputes. Let him be an ordinary child, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, marrying and having children, and living a peaceful and smooth life. This is perhaps what his father in heaven would most like to see.”

Qin Chuan silently looked at Li Ji, seeing in her eyes a deep wish for the child's future that transcended personal feelings.

He knew that this was Li Ji's deepest love for Jing Ke, and also her greatest protection for the child.

"Okay," Qin Chuan solemnly agreed. "I will personally select a suitable family."

Soon after, Qin Chuan, through the help of the Bad People, found an honest and hardworking elderly farming couple living on the outskirts of Xianyang who had been childless for many years.

Qin Chuan personally investigated and confirmed that the two were kind-hearted and, although their families were not wealthy, they were well-off.

He entrusted Jing Tianming to the elderly couple, leaving him enough money to ensure Tianming's safe upbringing, and secretly arranged for thugs to provide long-term, undisturbed supervision.

Watching the elderly couple carry the bewildered Tianming away like precious treasures, Qin Chuan felt a sense of relief.

The story of Jing Ke has finally come to a relatively satisfactory conclusion.

Li Ji stood on the high point of the mansion, gazing in that direction, tears streaming down her face, yet also feeling a sense of relief.

With the shadow of Jing Ke gone, the Qin state turned its attention to its next formidable enemy, the Chu state!

The atmosphere in the imperial court was both tense and passionate.

Ying Zheng, seated high on his throne, swept his gaze over his assembled ministers: "Let us attack Chu! Who can be the commander? How many soldiers are needed?"

Young and spirited, Li Xin, who had just achieved great military exploits, stepped forward proudly, his voice resounding:

"Your subject, Li Xin, has only 200,000 elite troops! We will surely crush Yingdu, capture King Fuchu of Chu, and present him before you!"

Ying Zheng remained noncommittal, turning his gaze to Wang Jian, whose hair and beard were both white and who appeared mature and composed: "What does the old general think?"

Wang Jian slowly stepped forward, his voice as steady as a rock: "The State of Chu is vast and its army numerous, and Xiang Yan is a seasoned and shrewd strategist. It is impossible to defeat them without the full strength of the entire nation. In my opinion, we need at least 600,000 troops!"

Two hundred thousand versus six hundred thousand!

The huge gap caused an uproar in the imperial court.

A look of dissatisfaction flashed in Li Xin's eyes, while Wang Jian lowered his eyes and remained silent, awaiting the king's command.

However, Ying Zheng did not directly favor Li Xin as the original trajectory had suggested.

He pondered for a moment, then announced the end of the court session, but summoned Qin Chuan alone.

In the rear hall, Ying Zheng looked at Qin Chuan:

"Brother Chuan, Li Xin says 200,000 troops are enough to destroy Chu, while Wang Jian says 600,000 are needed. What do you think?"

Qin Chuan's gaze was calm, but his words were startling:

"Two hundred thousand elite troops are enough to destroy Chu."

A glint flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes: "Oh? Brother Chuan also thinks Li Xin is feasible? What about General Wang Jian..."

He thought Qin Chuan would mention Xiang Yan, a famous general of the Chu state.

Qin Chuan shook his head slightly, his voice lowering:

"We have enough troops. But the key lies in one person. If we cannot deal with this person, even an army of 600,000 may fail."

"Who is it?" Ying Zheng pressed.

Qin Chuan slowly uttered two words: "Mi Qi!"

Ying Zheng's expression suddenly changed!

Lord Changping, Mi Qi, was his trusted advisor and was appointed Right Chancellor!

He even sent him to Yingchen, the old capital of Chu, to appease the people of Chu and stabilize the rear!

Ying Zheng never imagined that Qin Chuan would call out his name!

“Mi Qi? He… how could he…”

Ying Zheng found it unbelievable.

“Brother Zheng, Mi Qi has the blood of the Chu royal family flowing in his veins, and his heart has never truly belonged to Qin.”

Qin Chuan's gaze was sharp:

"He is stationed in Yingchen, wielding great power to pacify the region. If he were to take advantage of our army's deep penetration into Chu territory to cut off our supply lines and our return route, and launch a pincer attack with the Chu army from both sides, even if Li Xin possesses extraordinary abilities, his 200,000-strong army would be in grave danger!"

Ying Zheng's face turned extremely ugly. Qin Chuan's analysis was like a cold blade, piercing his trust in Mi Qi.

He remained silent for a long time, his eyes filled with a mixture of murderous intent and imperial cunning: "Brother Chuan... what good plan do you have?"

Qin Chuan's lips curled into a cold smile: "Use their scheme against them, lure them out of their hole, and finish them off in one fell swoop!"

A few days later, the court meeting resumed.

Despite strong opposition, Ying Zheng appointed Li Xin as commander-in-chief and Meng Tian as deputy commander, leading an army of 200,000 to conquer Chu!

On the spot, Wang Jian claimed that he was "old and frail and unable to carry out his duties" and resigned, retiring to his fiefdom of Pinyang.

The court and the public were shocked, all believing that Wang Jian was resentful because he had not been given important responsibilities.

Li Xin and Meng Tian led an army of 200,000 men with overwhelming momentum, and stormed into the territory of Chu.

Initial progress was smooth, with several cities captured in succession.

Chu general Xiang Yan avoided direct confrontation and lured the enemy deep into his territory.

Everything seemed to be developing in the direction Li Xin had predicted.

However, just as Li Xin's army was advancing deep into the heart of Chu and seemingly making great strides, a shocking piece of bad news suddenly came from the rear!

Mi Qi, the Right Chancellor of Qin and Lord Changping, who was stationed in Yingchen, the former capital of Chu, brazenly raised an army to rebel against Qin!

Using his power to appease the enemy, he quickly seized control of Yingchen and its surrounding key locations, cutting off Li Xin's army's supply lines and retreat routes!

At the same time, the main force of the Chu army led by Xiang Yan suddenly turned around and formed a pincer movement with Mi Qi's rebel army!

The 200,000 Qin troops led by Li Xin and Meng Tian were instantly plunged into a desperate situation!

When the news reached Xianyang, the court and the public were shocked!

Countless people began to question Ying Zheng's decision, and some even lamented the foresight of the old general Wang Jian.

Just as the entire Chu state was overjoyed, believing that they were about to annihilate Li Xin's army and turn the tide of battle!

A massive, well-equipped, and menacing Qin army appeared as if by divine intervention, suddenly appearing on the flank and rear of Mi Qi's rebel army!

Beneath the banner stood the veteran general Wang Jian, who had "resigned due to illness"!
