Chapter 1860

"Is that so? Then what about you claiming to be the Heavenly Emperor?"

Ying Zheng had just heard that Xu Fu claimed to be the Heavenly Emperor.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fu really wanted to slap himself a few times.

Only he and those children were on this island.

What was wrong with claiming to be the Heavenly Emperor?

Was there anything inappropriate about it?

But as luck would have it, it was heard by the soldiers who had arrived.

This was fatal; he couldn't explain it away even if he wanted to.

"This..."

Xu Fu rolled his eyes a few times.

"Your Majesty, the matter is like this."

"When I arrived at this island and was trapped and couldn't get out."

"I once had a dream, and in the dream, an old immortal told me to call myself the Heavenly Emperor."

"Only in this way would Your Majesty sense it and come here."

"Otherwise, I would have to grow old and die here alone and never return to Great Qin."

Xu Fu was so impressed by his own words that even he admired himself.

How wonderful; Your Majesty loved this sort of thing.

If he mentioned the old immortal, he reckoned Your Majesty would believe it.

"An old immortal? I think it was an old grandfather, wasn't it?"

Ying Zheng was disdainful; could such ghost stories be believed?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Ying Ying Zi Ye.

He saw that Ying Ying Zi Ye was also smiling at this moment.

Seeing his gaze, he stopped his laughter.

"Xu Fu, oh Xu Fu, your mouth is truly glib."

"Do you think that my Great Qin is currently in dire straits?"

"Do you think that I have already died?"

"Do you think that Great Qin no longer exists?"

Ying Zheng asked three questions in a row, his tone cold and filled with murderous intent.

The three questions left Xu Fu speechless.

He could only kowtow and beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, spare this humble person!"

"I will never dare to do it again!"

Xu Fu prostrated himself, lying on the ground and not daring to move.

At this moment, he was so scared that he had collapsed on the ground.

If no one helped him, he probably wouldn't be able to get up on his own.

He knew Qin Shi Huang's cruelty.

For him to deceive Qin Shi Huang like this, having his three clans executed would be a light punishment.

Today was truly a disaster falling from the sky.

"Father Emperor, it's getting dark."

"Shall we head back first?"

"We can take them back together."

Ying Ying Zi Ye saw that the sky was gradually darkening.

He didn't know if the night on this island was safe.

It was best to return to Great Qin first; after all, these were still children.

"Returning to Great Qin is not out of the question."

Ying Zheng didn't want to let Xu Fu die so quickly.

"What about the treasures I bestowed upon you back then?"

"Where have they all gone?"

Ying Zheng suddenly remembered that he had given Xu Fu quite a lot of gold and silver treasures.

Now that they were returning to Great Qin, they certainly couldn't leave them abandoned here.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fu was dumbfounded; the treasures...

"Your Majesty, we discovered many treasures and transported them back."

This was a guard speaking.

"Very well, take some blood from all of them."

Ying Zheng knew that to use the portal, one needed blood.

Therefore, he was very familiar with having people draw blood.

The guards immediately went to handle this matter.

Ying Ying Zi Ye took out the formation map.

After the guards brought back the blood.

All the blood was placed on the formation map.

Only then did Ying Zheng look at the children kneeling on the ground.

"You may all rise!"

Upon hearing this, the children stood up one after another.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Many children looked at Qin Shi Huang with fervent gazes.

Although they were children, children of poor families matured early.

Many children already had mature thoughts.

"You are all the sons of my Great Qin."

"Now I give you a choice."

"Do you want to return to Great Qin, or continue living here with this Heavenly Emperor?"

Ying Zheng looked at these youthful children, his heart filled with myriad emotions.

He shouldn't have found so many boys and girls for Xu Fu back then.

Wasn't this misleading the youth?

This was simply nonsense.

He had actually believed Xu Fu's words back then.

Thinking about it now, he really felt it was laughable.

He wondered to what extent these children had been brainwashed by Xu Fu.

Children were innocent; if they still wanted to return to Great Qin.
