Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Chapter 93 Wang Jian’s hidden illness, I promise you the position of chief general, and you will conquer the three realms for me in the future!

Killing one's relatives for the sake of justice? !
Wang Ben's expression froze. Years of experience fighting on the battlefield had made his mind as solid as a rock, unshakable and incomparably tough.

But at this moment, even with his great concentration, he couldn't help but feel surprised and suspicious.

What does it mean?
Could it be that he suspected that his father Wang Jian had the intention of rebelling against Qin?

Or... suspect the entire Wang family?
Wang Ben's mind raced, and he felt the gaze on him grow heavier. He quickly stood up and walked to the front of the palace, prostrating himself and saying, "Your Majesty, my father...my father Wang Jian would never betray Qin!"

"If there are rumors that my father Wang Jian is going to rebel against Qin, it must be slander. Your Majesty, please understand!"

This is not because Wang Ben was making a fuss out of nothing. Rather, since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, there have been countless memorials and rumors saying that Wang Jian intended to rebel against the Qin Dynasty.

This happens almost every day, especially after Zulong's sudden death, this saying has become more and more widespread, and even has details to support it.

But Ying Xuan, who was well versed in history and mythology, did not take it seriously and ignored the rumors.

He asked Wang Ben this now...actually just to confirm one thing.

"If I wanted to see clearly, I would have imprisoned all of your Wang family and sentenced them to death!"

Ying Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep as he stared at Wang Ben who was kneeling on the ground. He said something that made Wang Ben break out in a cold sweat and his body froze.

"According to the Qin Dynasty law, those who spread rumors will be punished with capital punishment or exile!"

"Marquis Tongwu wouldn't know that, right?"

In an instant, Wang Ben's heart was shocked, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he looked up at the figure.

"Or does Marquis Tongwu think that I don't know that these rumors came from you and your son?" Ying Xuan said lightly.

As the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, at least in name, he has stood at the highest point in the Qin Dynasty, or even in the entire world.

Even in the eyes of outsiders, Ying Xuan has no cultivation, is powerless, and is just an ordinary mortal.

But this authority... is truly in his hands.

"My lord is guilty!"

Wang Ben's expression kept changing. After hesitating for a long time, he banged his head on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please punish me. This matter has nothing to do with my father. It was all my idea!"

Once these words were spoken, it meant that Wang Ben admitted to spreading rumors in Xianyang City, making it seem that the Wang family was planning to rebel against Qin.

In fact, this is indeed the arm of the Wang family.

Wang Jian's contributions were enormous. More than half of the Qin Dynasty's conquests of various states were accomplished under the command of Wang Jian.

If it weren't for the final attempt to conquer the old Chu land, which damaged Wang Jian's bones and greatly reduced his cultivation, he would have already broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm and even had the hope of becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal!
Just from this point of view, it is enough to see Wang Jian's loyalty.

Especially when compared with Li Si's current behavior, Wang Jian's loyalty is more evident.

But precisely because of this, Wang Jian's every move would make people extremely vigilant.

To the extent that the Wang family even came up with such a method of "defilement" themselves.

The whole city is filled with rumors that the king is a traitor!
But this is the best proof that Wang Jian will never rebel.

However, this kind of thing cannot withstand investigation and will be exposed once it is investigated.

Wang Ben admitted it now just because he wanted to take a gamble and bet that Ying Xuan would not blame Wang Jian and the Wang family for this matter.

But the fact is, Ying Xuan really wouldn't do that. He made this matter clear just to reassure Wang Jian and Wang Ben.

"Get up. There is no need to do this. I am not a civil or military official in the court. The late emperor never had any fear towards your father and you, so I will not do so even more!" Ying Xuan's eyes flashed and he waved his hand.

The eunuch beside him understood immediately and stepped forward to help Wang Ben up. The forehead of the Marquis Tongwu was already covered with blood and he looked quite embarrassed. The eunuch wiped it carefully to avoid embarrassment to the emperor, and then slowly withdrew.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Ben breathed a sigh of relief.

He and his father Wang Jian had been committing self-degradation for a long time, even before the unification of the Qin Dynasty.

But it was not revealed until now, not because Ying Xuan knew it now, but because Zulong before him did not point it out.

This is a tacit understanding.

"With Zulong's prestige and means, if he were to expose Wang Jian and Wang Ben's little tricks, he would definitely have to make some statement, so as to shock all the officials."

"But if we do that, it will inevitably cause some turmoil to the Qin army, and it may even cause serious damage!"

"But I'm different!"

Ying Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression he looked at Wang Ben was slightly different. The Nine Nether Military Soul emerged in his palm, and faint sounds of a phoenix could be heard, as if it was sensing something.

He lowered his eyes to look at the military spirit, and thought to himself, "I have just ascended the throne and taken control of the imperial power. Although I have secured this position with the help of the Protectorate Dragon and the Buddha Army, I still need to gradually subdue Wang Jian, Meng Wu and others. Only then can I truly control the court!"

This was not Ying Xuan's method, but the "legacy" left to him by Ying Zheng.

But he didn't start receiving it until today.

"His Majesty……?"

Wang Ben knelt in the hall, looking at the ball of light in Ying Xuan's palm, and his heart moved slightly.

He also heard the faint sound of the phoenix, but could not figure out the origin of the ball of light.

But in this situation, anything that Ying Xuan could take out must be related to him.

"The Nine Nether Army Soul contains a ray of Skybird's spirit, which can be given to the souls of ten thousand people and pass on the method of practicing the Nine Nether!"

"After the army is formed, we can use the methods of military strategists to gather military strength, communicate with the long river of time, and awaken the spirit of the Sky Bird from it!" Ying Xuan raised his palm, and the Nine Nether Army Soul suddenly glowed like a firefly.

The words fell!

Wang Ben's eyes lit up and he stared at the ball of light, unable to help but feel a little yearning.

Military spirit!

This means an elite force, as elite as the Iron Eagle Warriors, the Jisha Crossbow and other troops.

There is no need to say much about Zhang Han's Buddhist Army. The deaths of two great practitioners in the Golden Immortal Realm are the best proof of this.

It is not known whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, but there was turmoil in Xianyang City that night and Wang Ben was not in the city, so he missed the opportunity to see the powerful Buddhist army.

But even if one had not seen with one's own eyes the grand scene of the Futu Army killing the two Golden Immortals, this record alone was enough to make any general have some fantasies about the Futu Army.

"I know the loyalty of the Wang family. From now on, there is no need to do those little tricks in secret!"

"As the commander of the Nine Nether Army, if you are covered in mud, how can you fight for me and quell the chaos?"

After saying that, Ying Xuan picked up the imperial edict that had already been prepared on the table, thought for a moment, then took out the God-Slaying Bow from the luck space, along with the Nine Nether Military Soul, and placed it in front of Wang Ben.

This is a gift, but also a great hope!
Wang Ben looked at the Nine Nether Army Soul in front of him, took a deep breath, kowtowed and said: "I will live up to your majesty's expectations!"

……

On this day, the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Xuan, issued an edict: to appoint Wang Ben as the commander-in-chief of the Jiuyou Army, commanding ten thousand soldiers, and to grant him the lower-grade innate spiritual treasure 'Slaying God Bow', and the title of Tongwu Hou!
