Killing the surrendered is inauspicious

"Qing Nü, Shao Dian Qing Nü!"

Qing Nü spoke her name, and the surname made Bai Qi's pupils contract.

The Shao Dian Clan!

Bai Qi asked in a low voice, "Are you an Immortal?"

"If you think I am, then I am! Just don't block my way."

Qing Nü's expression remained helpless. She waved her hand at Bai Qi and said, "Don't stop me. Be careful, or I'll hit you too."

With that, she looked up and called out, "Hong Luan!"

A blue bird flew down rapidly from the sky, circled around Bai Qi, and then returned to Qing Nü's shoulder. It spoke, "Human, you are so unreasonable! We clearly didn't provoke you, yet you're blocking our way. Are you looking for death?"

"A birdie... it can talk?"

Bai Qi looked at Qing Nü in astonishment.

He had lived for so long, yet he had never seen such a thing!

Was she truly an Immortal?

After much deliberation, Bai Qi still did not continue to obstruct her. He waved his hand and said to the others around him, "Make way!"

"Yes, General..."

Several people nodded and cleared the path.

In fact, even if Bai Qi hadn't given the order, they wouldn't have dared to stop Qing Nü anymore!

The sight of a person's shoulder being pierced by a single stone just moments ago was still vivid in their minds! They asked themselves if they could withstand such an attack. They were nothing more than corpses anyway. It didn't matter if they let her pass!

She couldn't possibly revive people, could she?

No way, right?

Seeing Bai Qi order his men to make way, Qing Nü was quite satisfied. As she passed by Bai Qi, she looked up at him sitting on his horse and said, "Bai Qi, I have a piece of advice for you. Do you want to hear it? I don't give advice to just anyone."

Looking at Qing Nü's smile, Bai Qi felt a moment of trance. After a slight hesitation, he cupped his hands at Qing Nü and said, "Please speak!"

"Killing surrendering enemies is inauspicious!"

Qing Nü dropped the four words and then walked forward.

Bai Qi rode his horse, watching Qing Nü drag Zhao Kuo's corpse away.

He remained silent, constantly pondering the meaning of the four words Qing Nü had left behind, until a messenger arrived on horseback, panting heavily.

He said to Bai Qi, "General, His Majesty wishes to see you!"

His Majesty?

He came to Changping?

Upon hearing this news, Bai Qi finally led his men back.

Inside the command tent, Ying Ji looked at Bai Qi, who had hurried back from outside. His aged eyes were full of scrutiny as he asked, "Lord Wu'an, where have you been? Why weren't you in the command tent? As the commanding general, this is dereliction of duty!"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Bai Qi did not argue. He knelt on one knee and begged for forgiveness from Ying Ji.

Ying Ji waved his hand and said with a smile, "Get up! You are a great contributor to my Qin!"

Bai Qi stood up. Ying Ji looked around and said, "All of you, leave. I need to speak with Lord Wu'an alone!"

"Yes!"

The people on both sides quickly withdrew.

Only Bai Qi and Ying Ji were left in the command tent. Ying Ji stood up and walked to Bai Qi's side. He circled Bai Qi once and suddenly asked, "Lord Wu'an, how many Zhao soldiers did our Great Qin capture in this battle? Do you know?"

"Approximately four hundred thousand."

Bai Qi was well aware of such figures.

Ying Ji nodded and asked again, "Do you know that our Great Qin does not have enough surplus grain to feed these four hundred thousand mouths?"

When he said this, Bai Qi fell silent.

"Your subject... knows."

After a long while, Bai Qi nodded, indicating that he knew.

Seeing him nod, Ying Ji said no more. He gently patted Bai Qi's shoulder and said, "It is good that Lord Wu'an knows! I will say no more. Lord Wu'an will surely satisfy me."

If you can't find the book by its name, you can try searching for the author. Perhaps it was just renamed!

After he finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

Bai Qi suddenly turned around and called out to him, "Your Majesty, wait! Your subject... has one more thing to say!"

"Oh? What is it?"

Ying Ji turned back to look at Bai Qi.

Bai Qi brought up the matter of Verdant Green Maiden. The Green Clad Immortal who suddenly appeared on the battlefield could not be hidden from the King of Great Qin. So many Qin soldiers had seen her!

When Ying Ji heard about Verdant Green Maiden, his expression suddenly creased, becoming incredibly solemn.

"You say she is a Fairy in green?"

Bai Qi nodded, "Yes! At least, this subject is no match for her. She only needs one move, and this subject would die."

Ying Ji grunted and said, "I understand. Leave the matters here to you. I will return to Xianyang first!"

Bai Qi added, "This subject has one more matter!"

"Why is Lord Wu'an so long-winded? Can you not speak directly?"

Ying Ji frowned, looking at Bai Qi with displeasure in his eyes, "What is it? Speak!"

Bai Qi kowtowed to Ying Ji, "This subject requests Your Majesty to order a pursuit, to press directly towards Handan! If Handan is taken in this battle, Great Qin will have no rivals! Zhao will only become a border state."

After he spoke, Ying Ji fell silent and shook his head, saying, "Lord Wu'an, Great Qin is exhausted."

With those words, Ying Ji turned and left.

Seeing him quickly depart, Bai Qi sighed helplessly.

When Verdant Green Maiden returned to Handan with Zhao Kuo's corpse, the news from Changping had also arrived. Bai Qi had ordered the massacre of 400,000 Zhao soldiers!

Upon hearing this news, Verdant Green Maiden sighed to the heavens, saying, "Hong Luan, do you see?"

"Mhm..."

Hong Luan nodded.

"I see it. This History you speak of is truly terrifying."

"Indeed!"

Verdant Green Maiden sighed.

"Yes! History is truly terrifying. Whether it was Zhao Kuo leading his troops to war, or these 400,000 people being massacred, nothing could stop it. Even if the King of Zhao and the King of Qin were killed, Qin and Zhao would still be like this."

As long as war broke out at Changping, the fate of these 400,000 people was sealed.

The Battle of Changping was the pressure of the general trend of the world. Shangdang was abandoned by Han. Qin and Zhao had no choice but to take it. Could she make the people of Han in Shangdang remain neutral?

Impossible.

Let Han keep Shangdang?

She had tried that before.

Verdant Green Maiden patted her face and told Hong Luan to fly high into the sky and find a good burial spot outside Handan to bury Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo's army was defeated, and now everyone in Handan wished they could skin and dismember him.

It would be best to bury him outside the city, where no one would know.

After burying Zhao Kuo, Verdant Green Maiden returned to her residence.

From day to night, soldiers came and went continuously. It was the King of Zhao's command to conscript men within the city to form a new army!

The loss of 400,000 young and strong males was undoubtedly a fundamental blow to Zhao.

In Handan, every household was in mourning, and the sound of crying was incessant.

Countless people cursed Bai Qi.

The title "Butcher" began to spread at this time and became Bai Qi's alias!

Just as countless people cursed him, Bai Qi fulfilled those curses. He was dismissed by Ying Ji on the grounds of disrespecting the King's Command and being arrogant and conceited, demoted to the lowest rank! Not long after, he was granted death.

After his death, Handan rejoiced.

It was as if Qin would collapse without Bai Qi.

But the Warring States Devil King used facts to tell them that even without Bai Qi, Qin's overwhelming advantage over the world still existed!

However, Verdant Green Maiden didn't care about these things now. She was visiting a household.

The Master was named Ying Yiren, and he had a wife named Zhao Ji.

At this very moment, Zhao Ji was ten months pregnant and about to give birth!
