Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Han Fei, Li Si, at this moment, were quite calm, for they already knew Zhao Fengʼs identity, and previously in Zhangtai Palace, the First Emperor had also mentioned to them about Zhao Fengʼs request to guard Baiyue.

”Lord Feng, oh Lord Feng, you truly are overthinking.”

”Not to mention the First Emperorʼs ambition and prowess, would such a crucial minister be sent to guard the desolate land of Baiyue, moreover you are the Eldest Imperial Son, the future Crown Prince of Qin, how would the First Emperor allow you to wander in such barren territory.”

”Your thoughts are indeed incorrect.”

”All of this has amused the First Emperor greatly.”

Some of the informed ministers remained outwardly calm, but inwardly they all laughed.

”Zhao Feng actually requested to be stationed in Baiyue, hehe, he is indeed a clever man. Now that the world is unified, thereʼs no longer any place for martial commanders. By demoting himself to Baiyue, although it is far from the bustling capital, he can at least protect himself.”

”This move, itʼs excellent.”

”Now the achievements of the martial commanders are already complete, and next itʼs the turn for civil officials to govern. Moreover, even if the First Emperor tries to delay it, the position of the Crown Prince must be established.”

Seeing Zhao Feng demote himself to Baiyue, Huai Zhuang inwardly laughed.

He naturally understood Zhao Fengʼs purpose: self-demotion to avoid court disputes.

This is Zhao Fengʼs act of feigned weakness!

”Baiyue is merely a minor ailment, it can never contend with Qin.”

”As for the land of Baiyue, thereʼs no need for the esteemed Grand Commandant of Qin to personally defend it.”

”So Lord Wuʼan need not think too much.” Ying Zheng gave a faint smile.

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Feng became anxious: ”Emperor Qin Shi Huang, last time you clearly agreed.”

Seeing Zhao Fengʼs anxious appearance.

Ying Zheng feigned ignorance: ”When did I agree? How do I not know this?”

He looked genuinely bewildered, as if he wasnʼt pretending.

Upon witnessing this scene.

”Damn.”

”Emperor Qin Shi Huang is playing me.”

Zhao Feng cursed internally.

That day at Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng clearly promised, but now he refuses to acknowledge it. Zhao Feng was infuriated.

Guarding Baiyue, secretly developing there—it was one of his future goals to sweep across the world.

The historical Zhao Tuo had already died.

Naturally, Zhao Feng intended to take advantage of the situation, seize the land of Baiyue, and establish a strong foundation to conquer the world in the future!

”You brat, how cunningly youʼve thought this out.”

”Guarding Baiyue, developing there, watching your father die.”

”Then sweeping across the world.”

”If your mother hadnʼt spoken, I might have really been fooled by you.”

And inwardly, Ying Zheng was also cursing with displeasure.

His own son was truly unfilial!

He was actually waiting for his own father to die.

”Petitioning the First Emperor.”

”The Grand Commandant is concerned for the world.”

”Although Baiyue is only a minor ailment, over time it will inevitably cause harm to Qin.”

”If the Grand Commandant were to personally guard it, he would surely achieve considerable merit.”

At this moment, Chunyu Yue couldnʼt help but step forward and loudly declared his opinion.

Upon hearing this.

There really was someone daring enough to echo this sentiment, and Ying Zhengʼs expression immediately darkened.

”Chunyu Yue, you truly are a good man.”

Zhao Feng was delighted, looking at Chunyu Yue with great satisfaction.

”This fool.”

At this moment, Huai Zhuang was internally cursing.

Although he too wished for Zhao Feng to go to Baiyue, he was a Grand Commandant with high status and authority, controlling the military forces. Even if he wished this in his heart, he shouldnʼt have spoken it aloud!

”This matter.”

”I do not permit it.”

”Baiyue is trivial, a mere general is sufficient to guard it.”

”Allowing Qinʼs Grand Commandant to personally guard it would be ludicrous.”

”Lord Wuʼan.”

”Abandon such thoughts.” Ying Zheng spoke coldly at this moment.

Of course.

This was not directed at Zhao Feng, but at Chunyu Yue with cold disdain.

Upon hearing this.

The little expectation Zhao Feng had vanished in an instant.

Emperor Qin Shi Huang had already spoken this plainly; what else could Zhao Feng say?

Would he openly defy the court?

He could only retreat dejectedly.

”Petitioning the First Emperor.”

”Now the world is unified.”

”It is a time of great celebration.”

”I believe, at such a grand celebration, joy should be compounded, celebrations multiplied.”

”I propose.”
