"Sir, have you come for the sake of my king?"
Ying Zheng's eye twitched slightly. He was really provoked by Wang Hao's address of him as " Brother Zheng." When had anyone ever called him that before?
However, he could also tell that the person in front of him genuinely appreciated him and had no ill intentions whatsoever. Moreover, the fact that he could dodge the combined attack of the Ghost Valley Twin Swords showed that his strength was quite remarkable. Perhaps his turning point in Xinzheng would depend on this person.
"A small part of it is because I originally wanted to wait for you here, but I didn't expect you to be here so early. I thought you had already left and it was all for nothing!"
As he spoke, Wang Hao took the wine glass in front of Zi Nu and drank it all in one gulp, which infuriated Zi Nu, who was sitting opposite him, but she did not choose to make a move.
It is still uncertain whether this person is friend or foe, and given that the Quicksand currently in a precarious situation, it is not advisable for them to make any more powerful enemies.
"Sir, did you know I was coming here?"
Ying Zheng's gaze turned cold. His arrival in Xinzheng was a top secret. Even the Net Trap secret intelligence network) only roughly guessed that he was coming a month ago. How did this person know that he would be here?
Could there be a traitor among his trusted confidants?
" Brother Zheng, there's no need for suspicion. The reason I knew you would come here is because I can barely glimpse the river of fate and know the past and the future!"
Wang Hao casually made up a story.
To be honest, he wasn't exactly exaggerating. After all, the Legend of Qin anime series is Projection of the fate of this world onto the main world, which can be considered a river of destiny.
" Yin-Yang School?"
Ying Zheng couldn't help but think of the Yin-Yang School's Yue Shen, whom he had met some time ago. The other party seemed to claim that she could glimpse the future of destiny.
Indeed, the Mount Shu and the Yin-Yang School have intricate connections, so it's not surprising that they possess such abilities.
"Mr. Wang, could you tell me about Young Master Shang's future?"
Han Fei had remained silent until now, put down his wine glass and stared intently at Wang Hao. He had also become somewhat interested in this mysterious guest and was basically certain that this person was the turning point in the current situation.
"There's not much more to say. After returning this time, Brother Zheng ascended the throne, dismissed Lü Buwei, swept across the six states, established a unified dynasty, and proclaimed himself Qin Shi Huang. However, he eventually died, Hu Hai became Qin Er Shi, and then the Great Qin Dynasty perished!"
Wang Hao briefly recounted the fate of Brother Zheng and even the entire Qin Dynasty, which greatly surprised everyone present, especially Han Fei.
"Sir, you are too modest. This cannot be described as merely a forced effort!"
Han Fei became unusually serious, showing even greater concern for Wang Hao.
He once experienced a Zhuang Zhou state at the Little Sage Manor, where his consciousness traversed the river of history, glimpsing the past and future, but only within a certain range of the future, and it was very vague.
The furthest he could see was the death of Ying Zheng, but he did not witness the ascension of Qin Er Shi to the throne or the fall of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Clearly, this person's skill in this area has reached an inhuman level, far surpassing that of Taoist School and Yin-Yang School.
What brings you here, sir?
After a serious glance at Han Fei's expression, Ying Zheng turned his gaze back to Wang Hao, showing even greater concern for this man.
He was both wary and eager for this method of Future Sight. The Yin-Yang School had made him very wary, and he had been pondering whether or not he should cooperate with them.
But now, the appearance of Wang Hao has made him make a decision.
It is indeed daunting for one side to control such power, but if another side also controls such means, then a situation of mutual checks and balances can be formed.
The art of balance is the core of imperial strategy, and he happens to be quite adept at it.
"Now that we know our fate is unbearable, we must break free from it and create a brighter future!"
Wang Hao spoke frankly, without any attempt to hide anything.
If it were anyone else, one would definitely tell seven parts and hold back three, but it's better to be honest with this emperor of all time, otherwise it would be bad to cause any misunderstandings and delay his future plans.
"Sir, do you wish to help me unify the world?"
Ying Zheng pondered Wang Hao's true thoughts, but unfortunately, he hadn't spent enough time with the man to gather enough information for analysis.
"I have no interest in dealing with those small fry. With you and the foundation of the Qin State, that's enough. Our real enemies in the future are not these people in front of us."
Wang Hao glanced meaningfully at everyone present and uttered a sentence that left everyone puzzled.
"Sir, you are truly magnanimous, to compare the current states of the six kingdoms to mere fish!"
Yan Lingji smiled slightly, becoming even more interested in this mysterious man.
"Although Qin State has its own internal problems and conflicts, they can be suppressed by Brother Zheng's methods. In contrast, the other six states are currently riddled with internal conflicts, and most importantly, none of them have a king who can stand up to Brother Zheng. What else could such people be but small fry?"
Wang Hao handed the empty wine glass to Yan Lingji, gesturing for the beauty to refill it.
Yan Lingji rolled her eyes at Wang Hao Yan Lingji, but still picked up the wine pot and poured wine into the cup.
"Sir, your insightful judgment is truly admirable. I offer you this toast!"
Ying Zheng felt as if he had met a kindred spirit, and immediately raised his wine cup in a toast.
"Dry!"
Wang Hao drank it all in one gulp, for not just anyone had the privilege of drinking with this emperor who would be remembered for all time.
"You Kuangren, how dare you compare my father to a nobody!"
At this moment, a girl in a pink dress stormed in, her almond-shaped eyes glaring at Wang Hao. Her pretty face was puffed up with anger, making her look incredibly cute. It was none other than Han Fei's younger sister, Hong Lian.
"This must be Princess Hong Lian. Tsk tsk, I really can't believe you're the daughter of the Deposed King of Han!"
Honestly, in The Nine Songs of the Moving Heavens, King An of Han and Admiral Ji Wuye are like a mudslide in the State of Han beauty scene. He really can't imagine how stunningly beautiful Hong Lian's mother must be to have given birth to such a beautiful person as Hong Lian with someone like King An of Han.
In his opinion, this girl is definitely the son of the Old Wang Next Door, and it's unlikely to be that old man King An of Han's.
"You impudent scoundrel, how dare you insult my Queen Mother! Take this!"
Enraged, Hong Lian drew the Shark Tooth from Wei Zhuang's hand and attacked Wang Hao, intending to give this rude man a Shark Tooth combing move.
Wei Zhuang did not stop him. He was very unwilling to accept the previous battle and wanted to find an opportunity to fight this guy again. If Hong Lian could start a battle, he would have an excuse to get involved.
Of course, more importantly, this person seized the absolute initiative from the start, putting Han Fei on the defensive. As one of their own, they naturally had to find a way to put pressure on their opponent and turn the tide, otherwise they would inevitably become even more passive in the ensuing conversation.
"Your steps are unsteady, your arms are weak, and your swordsmanship is amateurish. In the martial arts world, you're nothing but a nobody. I really don't know how your teacher taught you!"
Wang Hao shook his head slightly, and without making any move, his short hair suddenly grew rapidly, turning into a tentacle that deflected the Shark Tooth Sword that Hong Lian thrust at him one by one. No matter how Hong Lian changed her moves, she could not hurt Wang Hao in the slightest. In the end, she was even deflected and the Shark Tooth slipped from his hand.
"Unfortunately, I am her swordsmanship teacher!"
With a cold expression, Wei Zhuang embraced Hong Lian's soft waist and pushed her aside. With his other hand, he took the Shark Tooth and launched a Sword Force attack on Wang Hao.
But Wang Hao remained unmoved, manipulating that strand of long hair to deflect Wei Zhuang's attacks one by one.
This move is an advanced version of the Six Powers in the One Piece World, a manipulation technique called Life Return, which also incorporates some of Jiraiya's hair Ninjutsu Jiraiya the Naruto Universe, ultimately creating this cool move.
Of course, this method might work against ordinary people, but it would be a bit of a stretch against truly powerful individuals.
Fortunately, this person is still just the Second Brother Zhuang, and has not yet evolved into the Second Uncle Zhuang. His strength has not yet reached its peak, so this kind of showing off is more than enough to deal with him.
Unfortunately, Wang Hao soon lost his composure, because Gai Nie had also joined the battle.
The Ghost Valley's Vertical and Horizontal Swordsmanship is indeed profound. When the two of them cooperate, their power can be increased by at least tenfold, which is something that Wang Hao's showy moves cannot handle.
You're cheating!
Wang Hao quickly dodged Second Brother Zhuang's Shark Tooth Comb attack to the side, and at the same time flicked his finger, accurately striking the spine of Gai Nie Nie's longsword.
The force of a finger is incomparable to that of a hair. Even with Gai Nie's great strength, he was still shaken so badly that his tiger's mouth split open, and his body was forced back more than ten steps until he crashed into the wooden pillar behind him, whereupon streams of blood slid down the blade.
Gai Nie glanced at his trembling right arm, then looked at Wang Hao in horror. Even with his composure, he found it hard to accept this outcome.
The opponent's strength was truly terrifying. It not only shattered the sword energy he had imbued into his longsword, but also injured his arm. This level of strength was probably even surpassing that of his master, Guiguzi.
When did such a monstrous talent appear in Mount Shu?
Seeing his senior brother suffer a loss, Wei Zhuang also decisively stopped, his face quite grim.
"Snap!"
A series of fine cracking sounds suddenly rang out, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to be horrified once again.
Cracks quickly appeared on the longsword in Gai Nie's hand, and in the next instant, it shattered into countless fragments and fell to the ground.
The most shocked among them were Ying Zheng and Wei Zhuang. Ying Zheng knew clearly that the sword in Gai Nie's hand was one that he had personally selected for him from the national treasury, and it was among the First-Rate in the world.
Wei Zhuang had recently fought against it with Shark Tooth, and being able to withstand the Shark Tooth's sharpness, it was clearly a famous sword that was not much inferior to Shark Tooth.
But now it's broken; it was shattered by someone flicking it with a single finger.
Wang Hao, however, was completely dumbfounded, clearly not expecting Gai Nie's sword to be so fragile.
" Brother Zheng, I'm not trying to be mean, but Little Gai is at least doing the work of taking the fall for you, so couldn't you have chosen a better sword for him? Luckily, he ran into me today. If it had been a real enemy, you'd probably be preparing a coffin for Little Gai."
Wang Hao immediately played the victim, claiming that he didn't mean it, but that the longsword was a complete counterfeit, and that Master Hao was lucky to have shattered it today.
"Pfft!"
After a moment of awkward silence, Yan Lingji couldn't help but laugh; this man's Shameless was just too amusing.
What do you mean by "not doing one's proper job"?
Wei Zhuang spoke coldly at this moment, instinctively feeling that Wang Hao were not kind.
Sure enough, Wang Hao's next words confirmed his premonition.
"The common people are in turmoil, the world is in chaos, among Hundred Schools of Thought, only I, the Strategist, am the most powerful! Your predecessors of the School of Diplomacy certainly deserve this praise, but unfortunately, I do not see that qualification in your generation."
The core of the School of Diplomacy is intellect, not muscle and swordsmanship.
Wang Hao shook his head slightly. Although Second Brother Zhuang and Gai Nie had many fans, he was not fond of them. At least, he rarely saw their wisdom displayed in the story, but rather their powerful swordsmanship.
This is a completely different style from the famous predecessors of the School of Diplomacy, instantly lowering its prestige by several levels.
