"To the King of Qin, although the county magistrate is only seventeen years old, he is younger than me."

"However, his talent and strength are not inferior to mine. I think he will definitely not let you down."

Huo Qubing said, cupping his hands, with a faint trace of blood on his palms.

"Really?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

"So, killing Jing Ke and capturing Yan Dan were done by you alone?"

"Of course!" Huo Qubing's face was calm, without any trace of lying.

"Good, you are worthy of being a pillar of our Qin Dynasty."

Ying Zheng nodded and turned his gaze to Zhao Gao.

"Zhao Gao, convey the widow's instructions"

"The Lantian County Magistrate was promoted to Xianyang County Magistrate for his meritorious service in capturing the traitor. He will take office in Xianyang next month."

""Your Majesty, wait a minute!" At this time, the right prime minister Wang Wan suddenly stepped forward and came to Ying Zheng.

"What's the matter?" Ying Zheng frowned, somewhat unhappy.

"Your Majesty, the story of Jing Ke assassinating Qin was only said by the Lantian County Magistrate, so you can't trust it."

"I think it would be more appropriate to give him a promotion after the investigation of this matter is clear."

Wang Wan was still relatively steady and took the lead in seizing the loophole of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin.

This was actually what Ying Zi'an had expected before.

Jing Ke's assassination of Qin had not happened yet, and no one knew about this plan except Ying Zi'an, Jing Ke, Yan Dan and others.

Therefore, when Wang Wan proposed it now, almost everyone agreed behind him.

Only Li Si and Zhang Han did not express their opinions.

Li Si was calm and never did anything he was not sure of, never said anything that would not have results, and did not want to offend an unknown genius like Ying Zi'an.

Zhang Han preferred what Huo Qubing said and chose to believe it.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably seek an opportunity for promotion through Jing Ke's assassination of Qin.

However, through communication with Huo Qubing, he felt that Ying Zi'an had no need to do this.

With Huo Qubing's strength, it would not be difficult to achieve success.

Why bother to do such a meaningless thing?

"You repeatedly questioned the magistrate of Lantian County. Are you jealous?"

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, and his displeasure was already reflected on his face.

He wanted to go to Lantian County before, but was stopped by Zhao Gao and others.

Now he wanted to promote Ying Zian, but was stopped by Wang Wan and others.

Moreover, he had no way to refute.

It was really annoying.

"I am not jealous of the magistrate of Lantian County. I just want to follow the Qin law and find out the truth."

Wang Wan bowed his head and said, his voice was old, but he was confident.

"Your Majesty, I think what the Prime Minister said is unreasonable.

Zhao Gao also echoed behind him.

"Since you two insist on doing this, then give me the truth within three days."

"If the truth is not revealed by then, I will have the Lantian County Magistrate take office immediately."

Ying Zheng said angrily, flicking his sleeves.

""Yes!" Wang Wan bowed his hands, his expression a little ugly. He had never expected that this time he would put himself in an awkward position.

It can be said that he had completely made things easier for Gai She.

Of course, it also gave Zhao Gao a chance to breathe, and Zhao Gao took advantage of it.

"Okay, let's do this for now!"

Ying Zheng turned around, looked at Huo Qubing and said,"Go back to Lantian immediately and escort Yan Dan to Xianyang."

"I will personally interrogate"

""Yes!" Huo Qubing glanced at Gai She, Zhao Gao and others, and turned away quickly.

He could basically guess why Gai She questioned Ying Zian, but he did not expect Zhao Gao and Wang Wan to embarrass Ying Zian.

This matter still needs to be told to Ying Zian, so that he can make the final decision.

"Your Majesty, I would like to go to Lantian together to help the Lantian County Magistrate capture the Mohist rebels."

Zhang Han suddenly stepped forward and volunteered to

""Go!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and turned to the Qilin Hall.

Although he was delayed by the competition, he still had to attend the morning court.

"Report~!"Ying Zheng had just sat on the throne when an urgent report came from outside.

"What's the matter?" Ying Zheng asked coldly, expressionless.

""Your Majesty, General Meng Tian has sent me a report of the battle, it is extremely urgent." The scout knelt on one knee, holding a dusty parchment scroll in his hands.

""Read!" Ying Zheng's face sank and he said hurriedly.

Usually, the Black Dragon Scroll was used to deliver battle reports.

But now, Meng Tian only sent a parchment scroll.

It can be seen that Meng Tian encountered an emergency. The scout spread out the parchment scroll and read aloud:"Your Majesty, our troops set out overnight and rushed to Loufan"

"A hundred miles southeast of Loufan, they were attacked by unknown enemies and suffered heavy losses."

"We have to set up camp here and make repairs. I am afraid it will be difficult to reach Loufan in a short time."

"What?" Ying Zheng was surprised:"Who attacked them?"

"Have you figured out the enemy's identity?"

The scout replied hurriedly:"Your Majesty, the enemy seems to be the Xiongnu cavalry, and their cavalry tactics are very powerful."

"General Meng Tian was caught off guard by the enemy's surprise attack, resulting in the Golden Fire Cavalry being surrounded in the mountains."

"At present, we can only set up camp and defend ourselves."

"Snap~!"Ying Zheng slammed the table and shouted,"Send a message to Wang Jian to send someone to support us immediately."

"The plan to attack Zhao should be put on hold. The barbarians must be driven out first."

"How can I allow these beasts to contaminate my land of Jiuzhou?"
