Chapter 185

"One thousand!"

"Five hundred!"

"Fifteen hundred!"

At that moment, countless nobles were shouting!

Each of them was calling out the number of troops they could send!

And the others, although hesitating, but… with so many people shouting, all followed suit one after another!

In no time, fully sixty-some noble houses were willing to send troops!

And after tallying it up, there would be roughly fifty thousand soldiers!

"Fifty thousand men, all still within Xianyang City!"

"Assemble now, gather tonight at the entrance of Xianyanggong!"

Some people shouted.

The others responded one after another.

"Then there's no time to lose, go home and prepare right now, we'll meet at the entrance of Xianyanggong at the fourth watch!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

At that moment, everyone nodded, and then, immediately walked out the door!

However, just as this first batch of people had just stepped out of Damenkou, suddenly, all of them began to retreat!

A moment later, they had actually retreated back into the room!

"What are you…"

The other nobles inside the room were still bewildered!

The next instant, a large group of black-clad men wielding sharp blades appeared before them!

Then, a man dressed like an elegant young master, wearing a silver mask on his head, walked into the room, glanced at the crowd, and then let out a cold laugh: "You bunch of stupid pigs!"

"You actually think you can take Xianyanggong with fewer than fifty thousand men? Isn't that just a fool's daydream?"

"Who are you!"

A noble roared angrily!

The man in the silver mask glanced at that noble, curled his lip and said: "Who I am isn't important, what's important is, if you go over there tonight, you will absolutely die!"

"You…"

A group of nobles was furious!

Many people immediately wanted to charge forward!

But… looking at the guards beside that man, they were broad-shouldered and thick-backed, each gripping a sharp blade, clearly not people to be trifled with!

For a moment, no one dared to move!

The man wearing the silver mask said: "Don't act rashly, Facing Ying Su isn't that easy to deal with!"

"I dare say, with your fifty thousand men, forget taking Xianyanggong, you'd have trouble even smashing open the gates of Xianyanggong; just one Li Cunxiao alone, you couldn't handle him!"

"What that noble said earlier is true, Wang Jian's attack on Xianyanggong failed, it really was because of Li Cunxiao; this man is valiant, no less than Li Yuanba!"

"Moreover, compared to Li Yuanba, this man has another trait, an iron body of steel, impervious to blade and spear!"

"What?"

"An iron body of steel, impervious to blade and spear?"

The moment those words left his mouth, everyone was shocked.

Then, a noble burst out laughing on the spot: "You think we're fools? That we'd believe what you say?"

"Also, who are you!"

That man didn't waste any more words, he simply raised his hand!

In an instant, the black-clad guards dragged a person in!

Seeing this person, everyone's heart jolted, because, this person was actually the central army commander of the Xianyang City Commandant's forces, Li Qi!

And now, such a commander had actually been captured and brought here by this man just like that?

"Come, you attacked Xianyanggong together with Wang Jian that day, tell this bunch of stupid pigs just how hard Xianyanggong is to take, and just what kind of figure Li Cunxiao really is!"

Li Qi panicked, but still, trembling, he recounted the scene of that day's attack on Xianyanggong!

And hearing these words, the group of nobles was simply stunned!

Arrows shot at that man, couldn't kill him.

Fifty thousand men charged at him, and were sent flying by him!

And there was one man who held Guancheng Sect…

All of this, heard by everyone, was like listening to a mythical tale, every single person was so shocked their scalp went numb!

And the man in the silver mask, looking at the group of nobles, let out a cold laugh:

"Besides this, have you ever heard of that military drill outside Xianyang City?"

"Military drill?"

The crowd was bewildered, and someone asked in confusion: "What is a military drill?"

The man in the silver mask laughed coldly: "You don't even know what a military drill is and you dare attack Xianyanggong?"

He shook his head, then, with a flip of his palm, instantly, a glass orb appeared in his hand!

And on this glass orb, a terrifying scene was playing!

Li Cunxiao held aloft a massive boulder taller than two men, and then, just like that, hurled it straight into the heavens!

The next second, this boulder was actually caught by him!

And then came the famous scene of his clash with Li Yuanba!

Li Yuanba held a tree trunk thicker than a man's waist, while Li Cunxiao clutched a boulder over two men tall!

Then, the boulder and the tree collided.

The old tree was smashed to pieces, and then the two combined their strength to hurl the boulder high into the sky!

This scene left everyone utterly stunned!

This scene made everyone's scalp tingle!

The person wearing a silver mask laughed, "This is called a military exercise!"

"Now, do you still think these fifty thousand men can take Outside Xianyanggong?"

He smiled, looked at those people, and shook his head repeatedly!

And a large crowd of nobles, seeing this scene, swallowed hard!

In that instant, they all panicked!

The person wearing a silver mask said, "Give it up. With just you, besides delivering fifty thousand heads to Facing Ying Su, you can accomplish absolutely nothing!"

"Moreover, you will only provoke Facing Ying Su to unleash a massacre and kill all of you!"

"This is not a figure you can possibly oppose!"

"Then... then what should we do?"

Some nobles fell into despair.

At this very moment, their brows were furrowed in worry!

Some other nobles closed their eyes; thinking that fifty percent of their annual grain must be sent to the imperial court, their hearts ached even more!

That person said, "Do not despair. To oppose Facing Ying Su, relying solely on you is not enough; relying solely on me is not enough either. We must combine our efforts!"

"We need the combined efforts of many, many people!"

"And this time, I will unite many, many people!"

"I will not only kill Facing Ying Su, but also kill Li Yuanba! Kill Li Cunxiao!"

"More importantly, I will overthrow the entire Great Qin!"

"And let the world change hands!"

"What?"

"Overthrow the Great Qin?"

"Let the world change hands?"

The moment those words were spoken, all the nobles were stunned.

Even more nobles became furious on the spot:

"Hmph! With just you?"
