Qin Dynasty: Ying Zheng is my brother, I am the Bad Commander

Sensing Zi Nu's kindness and feeling the terrifying pressure dissipate, Han Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a chill run down his spine, and his clothes were completely soaked with cold sweat, sticking uncomfortably to his body. Nevertheless, he gave Zi Nu a grateful look, thinking to himself, "Miss Zi Nu, I will remember this favor."

Ying Chen looked at the smiling Zi Nu in front of him, then glanced at the relieved Han Fei, a hint of a smile flashing in his deep eyes.

He did not take the wine cup from Zi Nu's hand, but smiled slightly, raised his hand, and signaled Yan Fei and Jing Ni to conceal their auras.

The aura that Yan Fei and Jing Ni exerted on Han Fei vanished without a trace, like the receding tide, as if it had never existed.

The air in the private room began to circulate again.

Ying Chen then slowly picked up the wine cup in front of him, sniffed it gently, and exclaimed, "Indeed, it is fine wine. The fragrance of orchids is wonderful, and the taste is mellow and long-lasting. Miss Zi Nu is very thoughtful."

Having said that, he downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, then placed the empty cup back on the table, his face displaying an extremely indifferent, even somewhat lazy, expression as he looked at Han Fei and said:

"What Brother Han said just now makes some sense. However..."

Ying Chen changed the subject, a faint smile curving his lips, his eyes becoming deep and unfathomable, "Actually, even if you really suspect that Qin Guo did it, it's not a big deal."

"Oh?" Han Fei was taken aback, looking at Ying Chen with some confusion. He thought the topic had been dropped, but he didn't expect Ying Chen to bring it up again.

Ying Chen poured himself a glass of wine, toying with the jade cup in his hand, and said in an extremely calm tone:

"Brother Han, you have been studying in Sanghai for a long time, so you must have a good understanding of the general situation of the world. On the surface, the Qin state looks like a lurking tiger, ready to devour the six states at any time, but in reality, the situation inside Qin is also complicated and full of undercurrents."

Ying Chen raised his eyelids, glanced at Han Fei, and said with a half-smile, "Speaking of which, the current court situation in Qin is quite similar to that in your Han. Both are dominated by powerful ministers who control the court and the country, while real power is in the hands of others."

Upon hearing this, Han Fei's pupils contracted slightly. He naturally knew who Ying Chen was referring to.

The powerful minister of Korea was the master of the night, General Ji Muye.

The powerful minister in the Qin state was none other than Lü Buwei, the powerful prime minister of Qin, who was known as "Uncle"!

"However..." Ying Chen sighed, his tone carrying an indescribable meaning, "Qin and Han are fundamentally different."

"What's the difference?" Han Fei asked instinctively, completely absorbed in Ying Chen's words.

Ying Chen looked at Han Fei and said, word by word, "The difference lies in this: on the throne of Han sits a parasite who only knows how to indulge in pleasure and is timid and hesitant; while on the throne of Qin sits a true dragon that is silently accumulating strength in the abyss, ready to soar into the heavens at any moment!"

Ying Chen's words were extremely presumptuous, even treasonous. To call the King of Han a "parasite" in front of the Prince of Han would surely have angered Han Fei, no matter how good-tempered he was.

But at this moment, Han Fei was unusually silent.

It wasn't just because Ying Chen was a prince of Qin.

Also, because he knew that Ying Chen was telling the truth.

This is his deepest pain.

At this moment, Ying Chen chuckled inwardly.

Stay tuned to Fengyuyulin, stay tuned to Cola Novels, stay tuned to every update of "Qin Dynasty: Ying Zheng is my brother, I am the Bad Commander".

His earlier statement, "You doubt the Qin state," and his current analysis of the Qin situation, were all deliberate.

There is an extremely sophisticated technique in psychology called "reverse suggestion".

When someone suspects you, the more you try to cover it up and explain yourself, the more they will feel that you have something to hide, and they will hold you accountable.

However, if you do the opposite, not only do you not hide it, but you also openly express the other person's suspicions, and even actively provide some clues that are "unfavorable" to yourself, the other person's thinking will instantly fall into a state of confusion and self-doubt.

Ying Chen took advantage of this.

He knew that with Han Fei's intelligence, after eliminating Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei, he would sooner or later turn his suspicious gaze to him, the "variable" who happened to appear in Xinzheng.

Therefore, he simply took the initiative and directly threw out the big label of "Qin State".

By saying this, he was able to successfully shift Han Fei's focus from himself, "Ying Chen," to the vast "Qin State" as a whole.

Moreover, Ying Chen wasn't lying intentionally.

The Qin state today is indeed very similar to the Han state.

Lü Buwei wielded immense power in the court, and his influence extended throughout the land.

All of this was already an open secret in the eyes of the world.

as predicted.

After listening to Ying Chen's words, which were half true and half false, Han Fei fell into deep thought.

He did not lower his guard because of Ying Chen's confession. On the contrary, he began to frantically deduce in his mind following the clues Ying Chen had given him.

"Ying Chen is right. The Qin state is not a monolithic entity. Lü Buwei wields immense power, and he controls an extremely terrifying force..."

Four words suddenly flashed through Han Fei's mind, and once they appeared, they were like a persistent carbuncle, impossible to shake off.

Net!

"A net that can penetrate anywhere in the world."

Han Fei's eyes gradually brightened, as if he had seen a faint but real glimmer of light through the thick fog.

"If it's the Net..."

Han Fei pondered to himself, "The assassins of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) are spread throughout the seven kingdoms. They act mysteriously, their methods are cruel and extremely efficient. If Lü Buwei, for some ulterior motive, used the power of the Luo Wang to infiltrate Xinzheng and steal these 100,000 taels of military pay..."

"The Net of Heaven has both the strength and the motive! One hundred thousand taels of gold is enough to stir up a huge storm among the seven kingdoms. As a prime minister who comes from a merchant background, Lü Buwei is best at this kind of political investment that can achieve great things with a small investment."

Thinking about this, Han Fei suddenly understood.

He had always felt like he had "forgotten something," always felt like there was a hidden force lurking in the shadows. Now, everything makes sense!

It wasn't Ying Chen's personal strength, but rather the murderous Luo Wang under the command of Lu Buwei, the Prime Minister of Qin!

Ying Chen simply happened to arrive in Xinzheng, and the Luo Wang operation was likely a secret order from Lü Buwei, which even Ying Chen, the prince of Qin, might not have known.

After all, Ying Chen and Lü Buwei couldn't stand on the same side.

Han Fei thought he had seen through everything and understood the "truth" hidden behind Ying Chen's words.

"Brother Ying's insight is brilliant."
