My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 917: I am not a cuckold! I am the biggest protector of those who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country!

Li Mu and Mao Sui's analysis is reasonable.

If Ying Chengjiao was really a great wizard and was really commanding the earth dragon through sacrifices.

Or maybe Ying Chengjiao is not a great wizard, and needs to use scientific means to make a comeback.

Then the analyses of Li Mu and Mao Sui are both correct!
But unfortunately, Ying Chengjiao is just a swindler.

So until eight days later, on December 10, the sixteenth year of King Zheng of Qin, Ying Chengjiao still did not set out for Wei County, nor was he replaced at the last minute, but was still stationed at the Yishui Great Wall.

To be more precise, they were stationed on the Yishui River near Yi Pass. In front of them was a square ice hole, and not far behind them was a coal-burning military tent. On the left were sixteen fishing rods made of various materials, and on the right were more than two hundred fish hooks of different shapes and various baits.

"what?"

Ying Chengjiao stood up suddenly, and the gold-made fishing rod in his hand fell directly into the ice hole.

His right foot slightly moved outward, and the fish basket without a single fish at his feet was "accidentally" kicked into the ice hole and fell into the cold river water.

Ying Chengjiao didn't care about the outcome of today's battle. He stared at Zhao Gao with his eyes fixed: "Attack Dai, weaken Yan, and destroy Qi!"

"Is this really Big Brother's order?!"

Such an outrageous order made it difficult for Ying Chengjiao not to suspect that this was a forged edict from Zhao Gao!

Others might not dare to forge Ying Zheng’s edict, but Zhao Gao really dared!

Zhao Gao bent his waist deeper, raised his hands higher, and put the bamboo slips in his hand directly under Ying Chengjiao's nose, and said repeatedly: "It's a feint! A feint!"

"In this battle, Lord Chang'an defeated the coalition forces and even shocked the enemy country with his earth dragon flip."

"The superiors in the court are worried that the enemy country will no longer have the will to resist, so they want to publicize the hatred between our Great Qin and the enemy country to eliminate the hidden danger of the enemy country asking to be a vassal."

"Ordering Chang'an Jun to attack Dai, weaken Yan, and destroy Qi is also to echo this strategy."

"It is absolutely not true that I want Chang'an Jun to attack Dai, weaken Yan, and destroy Qi!"

While Zhao Gao was explaining, Ying Chengjiao also finished reading Wang Ling.

Then Ying Chengjiao was almost so angry that he laughed!

Do you know who this general is fighting against?
Li Mu!

That’s Li Mu, who was able to maintain the third place and fight for the second place throughout the entire Warring States Period!

If I could remain undefeated in the hands of this general, it would be enough to brag about it for the rest of my life. But now, not only is I undefeated, I can even make the overall battle situation develop according to the original military strategy. I am so proud that I want to put my hands on my hips all the time!
As a result, now you want me to maintain the overall war situation and then create a sense of pressure to attack Dai, weaken Yan, and destroy Qi, and you also want everyone in the world to believe it?

I am just the second son of the Qin Dynasty!

It’s not the turtle in the wishing well!!!
"Absurd!" Ying Chengjiao shook his head repeatedly: "This is the most ridiculous thing in the world!"

Zhao Gao said carefully, "The king and the other officials in the court have discussed this matter for three days, but have not been able to come up with any other solution."

"If we don't break this situation, our Great Qin will probably fall into danger of internal and external troubles!"

"But the king also ordered me to ask Lord Chang'an. If Lord Chang'an thinks this strategy is inappropriate, the king will withdraw this order."

"After all, the one who knows the frontline best is Chang'an Jun, and the person the king trusts the most is also Chang'an Jun. If Chang'an Jun thinks this strategy is inappropriate, then this strategy is definitely inappropriate!"

Ying Chengjiao remained silent upon hearing this.

Ying Chengjiao, who has been attacking Ying Zheng for more than ten years, knows Ying Zheng's character very well.

Any difficulty that Ying Zheng could solve, Ying Zheng would not push it to Ying Chengjiao, and would not even let Ying Chengjiao spend any effort on it.

Ying Chengjiao could even imagine Ying Zheng's struggle and shame when he made this decision!

But Ying Zheng still handed this difficult problem to Ying Chengjiao. The meaning is self-evident!

Although Ying Zheng gave Ying Chengjiao the power to refuse, if Ying Chengjiao refused, Ying Chengjiao believed that Ying Zheng would not embarrass him anymore, but would choose to bear all the bad consequences that might arise later alone.

But Ying Zheng treated Ying Chengjiao so well, how could Ying Chengjiao make things difficult for Ying Zheng!
More importantly, the current predicament is ultimately the result of the mess created by Ying Chengjiao!

"Alas~" With a long sigh, Ying Chengjiao closed Wang Ling and said solemnly: "General, I obey your orders!"

Zhao Gao heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly saluted: "Chang'an Jun is righteous!"

"Your Majesty orders me to serve under Lord Chang'an. Lord Chang'an can dispatch me at will if he needs me!"

Ying Chengjiao glanced at Zhao Gao and asked, "Are you here to serve me, or to command the army?"

Zhao Gao repeatedly bowed his hands and begged for mercy, "Chang'an Jun, please don't say that! Please don't say that!"

"Who in the world doesn't know that the king trusts Lord Chang'an deeply? Why would he send a commander to Lord Chang'an's army?"

"I have neither the title nor the power of a military commander. I am only here to serve under Lord Chang'an!"

Zhao Gao is here to be the military commander!
But Zhao Gao did not lie.

Ying Zheng did not give Zhao Gao the title of military commander, nor did he allow Zhao Gao to exercise the power and responsibilities of a military commander. Ying Zheng only made two arrangements for Zhao Gao.

1. If Ying Chengjiao really wanted to destroy other countries, Zhao Gao needed to dissuade Ying Chengjiao.

Second, if Ying Chengjiao was defeated due to Ying Zheng’s interference, Zhao Gao must make full use of his advantages in driving and take Ying Chengjiao back to Qin!

Ying Chengjiao glanced at Zhao Gao, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "In that case, General Zhao will stay by my side."

Zhao Gao happily bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Chang'an!"

Ying Chengjiao didn't care whether Zhao Gao stayed or left. After a moment's hesitation, he gave the order in a deep voice: "Pass on my order!"

"Call all the generals and go to Yiguan for a meeting in two hours!"

More than thirty feet away, the man holding the fishing rod looked at the messengers rushing in all directions, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he slowly stood up, picked up the fish basket, and walked slowly towards Ying Chengjiao while laughing loudly: "Hahaha~"

"Chang'an Jun is sincere and never deceives me." "Fishing by breaking ice in this winter is really a special kind of fun!"

Only then did Ying Chengjiao remember that there was someone not far away.

Ying Chengjiao also laughed loudly and walked back to look, his eyes subconsciously looking at the fish basket behind him, and then his pupils suddenly shrank: "Wow!"

"You have gained a lot today!"

"This must be a fat fish weighing at least 10 kilograms!"

Looking at the live fish jumping around in the fish basket behind him, Ying Chengjiao felt jealous.

When he saw a big fish weighing more than three pounds with its tail slapping on the wall of the basket, Ying Chengjiao's eyes were filled with visible greed.

greedy!
So greedy!
Hou Wang's face was full of smiles: "Changan Jun has a wise eye!"

"I have also fished at the lake before, but never had such a catch."

"Today's situation is all thanks to the blessing of Lord Chang'an!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Chengjiao felt even more jealous.

Each of you can enjoy my blessing when you go fishing with me.

Why can't I get my own blessing?
After Ying Chengjiao knew about this, he thought that this was a way to flatter him, but his laughter became more hostile uncontrollably: "Ha~haha~"

"The Yi River is fertile and rich, so there are many fish swimming around."

"Not only did you catch a lot, but I also caught a lot today. I even caught a big fish weighing six pounds!"

"It's a pity that the wind on the river was so strong that it blew my fish basket into the ice hole, causing the fish to regain their freedom. It's really a pity!"

Ying Chengjiao looked at the fish basket with such a burning gaze that his heart began to beat fast when he looked back.

Hou Wang didn't think that Ying Chengjiao was simply greedy for these fish.

After all, what Houwang caught were just some ordinary river fish, and Ying Chengjiao probably didn't even bother to take a closer look at them.

The only thing in Houwang's hand that could make Ying Chengjiao excited was the benefits that Houwang would get!

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Hou Wang endured the heartache and carefully handed over the fish basket with both hands: "That must be because Feng is also congratulating Chang'an Jun!"

"It's a pity that Feng'er was too curious and ruined Chang'an Jun's mood."

"If Lord Chang'an doesn't give up, I will give you 60% of what I got today!"

Ying Chengjiao retracted his gaze from the fish basket and said calmly, "You are using 30% of the tariff to borrow the passage. I promise that no matter whether Qi's baggage line is smooth or not, the goods you transport to the front line can arrive at Qi's military market smoothly, and the money you earn from the military market can also be smoothly sent back to Qi."

"I will personally arrange for soldiers to deliver 50% of the materials you purchase within the Qin territory to the front lines of the two armies and hand them over to the generals or military markets you designate to receive them."

"This is what you and I have agreed upon, and it will not change until the end of this war."

"When doing business, we always emphasize mutual benefit and honesty, and we will never bully others by taking advantage of our power."

"You just need to be honest and do your duty, and don't worry about anything else."

Hou Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, held the fish basket firmly again, and bowed repeatedly: "I understand, I understand!"

"Changan Jun is truly a benevolent and righteous gentleman!"

"It is my life's blessing to fish on the ice with Lord Chang'an."

"It's a pity that Chang'an Jun is brave, strong, young and strong, but I am old and can't stand the cold wind. I can't wait to organize a caravan, so I dare to take my leave first!"

Later, we realized that Ying Chengjiao's sudden dispatch of a large number of messengers must be due to something important happening.

As a businessman from Qi State, Hou Wang would certainly not be so tactless as to continue staying here and hinder Ying Chengjiao's affairs.

Ying Chengqiao nodded slightly: "Good."

Resisting the urge to look back at the backpack, Ying Chengjiao watched Houwang dive into the wind and snow.

And next to Ying Chengjiao, Zhao Gao opened his mouth wide enough to swallow a whole egg!

Later, Zhao Gao had heard quite a lot about this man.

This man is not only the most prominent businessman in Qi State, but also the nephew of Hou Sheng, the prime minister of Qi State, and the money bag of Hou family of Qi State!
As the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, Ying Chengjiao had close contacts with merchants from the enemy country during the march and battle. He even provided shelter for merchants from the Qi State, allowing them to provide the Qi army with what they needed for the military market under the protection of the Qin army!

Is this something a living person would dare to know?!

Zhao Gao's legs trembled uncontrollably, and he fell to his knees in front of Ying Chengjiao, crying out in pain: "Lord Chang'an! I saw nothing, nothing..."

"No no no!"

"I have seen this. I am willing to lead the horse and stirrup for Lord Chang'an, and I am willing to die for Lord Chang'an!"

Why did Ying Chengjiao let Zhao Gao see the connection between Ying Chengjiao and Hou Wang, and even take the initiative to reveal the content of his transaction with Hou Wang?
In an instant, Zhao Gao thought a lot.

He didn't offend Ying Chengjiao, so Ying Chengjiao had no reason to kill him!

Could it be that... Ying Chengjiao has taken a fancy to him?

Zhao Gao was kneeling with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Ying Chengjiao, who was standing, was somewhat speechless: "Don't worry, my elder brother also knows about this."

Zhao Gao's head suddenly turned into a paste.

What?
Does the king also know that you are colluding with foreign enemies, harming the public interest for your own benefit, and betraying your country?
Could it be that the King is colluding with the Lord to sell out the country? !
