Chapter 233

~11 min read 2,066 words

It's worth it!

It's truly worth it!

Even dying for him a hundred times over would be a willing sacrifice!

"The new Emperor is far superior to the First Emperor!"

"The new Emperor is far superior to the First Emperor!"

"The new Emperor is far superior to the First Emperor!"

At that moment, the great army shouted!

The roars shook the heavens!

Everyone was excited to their very bones.

And Han Xin's lips trembled!

This was the reason he was willing to give his life for Ying Su!

This was the reason he was willing to be loyal to Ying Su!

The grace of being recognized was already something he could never repay!

Yet he still valued the lives of his own people so highly!

Because of this, it was worth it for Han Xin to offer everything he had!

"The new Emperor is far superior to the First Emperor!"

"The new Emperor is far superior to the First Emperor!"

At that moment, Han Xin was roaring!

Fan Kuai, Lu Wan, Cao Can, and Xia Xia Houying—these men were roaring incessantly!

At this very moment, everyone was truly excited to the extreme!

Even when Wang Wang Jian saw this scene, he couldn't help but have his lips tremble!

At this moment, even he wanted to shout that treasonous slogan!

But... he dared not shout it!

He really didn't dare!

He could only clench his fists in excitement and shout the slogan from his own era!

"Long live the Great Qin!"

"Long live the Great Qin!"

"Long live the Great Qin!"

"Long live the new Emperor!"

"Long live Ying Su!"

Hulun Grassland!

Throughout this day and night, Chanyu Modu was extremely anxious!

He stood on the Hulun Grassland, looking toward the edge of the marshland again and again, expecting the return of Master Master Xiaomeng, the Poison King, and the others!

And just at noon, finally, the Poison King, Tian Guang, Master Master Xiaomeng, and the rest of the group returned!

Chanyu Modu was excited on the spot.

He was the first to go out and welcome the three of them!

Following them were a large group of Xiongnu generals and experts from the Central Plains!

"How did it go?"

"How did it go?"

They all asked.

Incredibly expectant, incredibly excited!

Yes!

For the Xiongnu, whether they captured Ying Su or Han Xin, it was a good thing!

Capturing Ying Su meant they could force Li Li Yuanba, Li Li Cunxiao, and Han Xin to commit suicide!

And capturing Han Xin, while not as great a victory, could still force Ying Su to retreat!

No matter who they captured, it was a good thing!

It meant the war was over!

If both were captured, then... it wouldn't just be the end of this battle!

The Xiongnu army could even take the opportunity to invade the Central Plains!

Everyone was looking forward to it, everyone was excited!

However, Master Master Xiaomeng shook her head: "We failed!"

"What?"

"Failed?"

The crowd was shocked, filled with disbelief!

Tian Guang sighed: "Failed? It's worse than that!"

"Even Xue Nu and Yan Fei were lost!"

"They were captured alive!"

"What?"

Once these words were spoken, at that instant, there was a buzzing sound in everyone's heads.

They couldn't accept this result!

They had clearly gone to capture people, and yet... they didn't capture anyone, and lost two of their own!

This time, it was truly a total failure!

Everyone was frustrated!

Perhaps wanting to save some face, the Poison King said: "Actually... it can't be considered a complete waste of time; we killed two hundred of their men!"

He spoke up.

And once these words were spoken, the crowd became even angrier!

Some even wanted to point at the Poison King's nose and curse him!

Could it be... that we sent you there just to kill two hundred soldiers?

They were filled with boundless rage!

Some Xiongnu generals were even more furious: "If it doesn't work... then we fight!"

"With an army of four hundred thousand, are we really afraid of their one hundred thousand?"

They all roared.

However, just at this moment, suddenly, a Xiongnu soldier ran over quickly!

"Report!"

"The Qin army outside is shouting!"

"Shouting?"

"Shouting what?"

Chanyu Modu was very confused!

The soldier said: "The new Emperor of Qin, Ying Su, has issued an edict: The various schools of thought have colluded with the Xiongnu to obstruct our Great Qin army. This is an act of treason, betraying friends and selling out their master for glory!"

"From this day forward, all subjects of Great Qin shall be irreconcilable enemies with these traitors!"

"The Nong School, Yi School, Yin-Yang School, Mo School, Dao School, and all other schools of thought, as well as martial artists, are to be executed by anyone! Anyone can kill them!"

"For every person killed, bring their head as an offering, and you shall be rewarded with one hundred coins!"

127. Ying Su is mobilizing troops? Is he going to make a move against Fu Su?

"What?"

"The Yi School, Nong School, Yin-Yang School, and other schools of thought, as well as martial artists, are to be executed by anyone?"

"Colluding with the Xiongnu?"

"Betraying friends?"

"Selling out their master for glory?"

As the soldier's report arrived, in an instant, all the Central Plains experts present were stunned.

Everyone felt their scalps go numb!

They all couldn't help but gulp!

"That rebellious son is pinning such charges on us?"

"Is he planning to slaughter all of us from the various schools of thought?"

At this moment, everyone was truly shocked to the extreme!

Someone even glared at the Poison King: "No matter what we did before, Ying Su never said anything about slaughtering all of us schools of thought. It must be you! It must be you who killed Ying Su's two hundred soldiers, provoking his anger!"

"Poison King!"

"You have harmed us all!"

"Kill the Poison King!"

"Kill Master Master Xiaomeng!"

"Kill Tian Guang!"

"Kill them, take their heads, and go to Ying Su to plead for mercy!"

At that moment, some Central Plains experts shouted!

Even... quite a few people drew their swords and rushed toward the Poison King!

Wei Zhuang was furious. With a shout, Wushuang Gui, Qu Shi Mo, and others immediately arrived in front of the Poison King to block the crowd!

Even Ge Nie rushed to the front of the crowd, his eyes fixed on everyone present!

Master Master Xiaomeng and Tian Guang had even colder gazes!

At this moment, both sides were in a standoff!

Because of the terrifying strength of Master Master Xiaomeng, Tian Guang, Wushuang Gui, and others, even though they shouted fiercely, no one dared to rush up immediately!

Seeing this tense scene, Chanyu Modu was stunned.

Likewise, the Xiongnu generals were also stunned!

Just a second ago, these Central Plains experts were still friends, and the next second, they became enemies?

And all of this was actually because of an order from Ying Su?

These Xiongnu were truly shocked to the extreme!

Fan Zeng was furious. He pushed everyone aside, stood in front of them, and roared: "What are you doing!"

"What are you doing!"

He was filled with rage!

One person pointed at the Poison King and Master Master Xiaomeng and shouted angrily: "It's them! If they hadn't killed Ying Su's two hundred men, why would Ying Su be angry?"

"Why would he issue a kill order?"

"Why would he define us as traitors?"

"And why would he let the whole world kill our sects?"

Everyone was filled with boundless rage!

Likewise, it was because of this that they hated the Poison King so much!

You must know... that is their sect!

Once Ying Su's kill order was issued, one could fully imagine what kind of disaster this would bring to their respective sects!

And when they said these words, it directly made Fan Zeng laugh in anger:

"Could it be... that if Ying Su didn't issue such a kill order, your sects would have been spared?"

"Could it be... that if the Poison King and Master Master Xiaomeng hadn't killed those two hundred men, Ying Su would have let you go?"

"You bunch of people, is your brain filled with paste? Or dog feces?"

"From the moment you chose to come to the grassland, both sides were already mortal enemies!"

"No matter what you do, Ying Su will never let you go!"

"Now... you only have one goal! Either kill Ying Su, or be killed!"

"What is the point of this infighting?"

"Are you sick?"

Fan Zeng was so angry his liver trembled.

However, there were still some who closed their eyes and looked at the sky: "But doing this will cost our sects their lives!"

"This is a disaster that will wipe out our sects!"

At that moment, many people roared.

Likewise, this was the point they couldn't accept!

Yes!

Even though they had long known they were mortal enemies with Ying Su.

But... the limit in their hearts was that they themselves were mortal enemies with Ying Su!

All of this had nothing to do with their sects!

And once it involved their sects, they all exploded!

Facing their arguments, Fan Zeng was speechless!

He was completely speechless!

After a moment, he shook his head at the crowd: "You bunch of people are truly as stupid as pigs. Before making any decision, you just act on impulse without considering the consequences!"

"You all came here to kill Li Li Yuanba, to kill the Emperor, and you think he would let your sects off the hook?"

"Forget it, forget it. I don't want to waste any more useless words on you bunch of stupid pigs!"

"Now... Ying Su is a hundred miles away. If you are afraid of implicating your sects, go and plead guilty to Ying Su!"

"After pleading guilty, Ying Su might spare your dog lives!"

"But based on my understanding of Ying Su, he likely won't let you go!"

"Fence-sitters are never liked at any time. Even if he lets you go now, it's just to stabilize the situation. In the future, once everything is settled, he will definitely turn around and deal with you!"

"Now... you only have two choices. One, either overthrow Ying Su and fight him to the end—it's either you die or I live!"

"Two, get lost, go and surrender to Ying Su, be his dog, and see if Ying Su will show mercy and pity you!"

After Fan Zeng finished speaking, he turned to Chanyu Modu: "Great Khan, let's return to the camp!"

As he spoke, he pulled Xiang Yu, Wei Zhuang, and a large group of people toward the tents!

A moment later, everyone had left.

Only the large group of people who had just been causing trouble remained!

Finally, after thinking for a long time, none of them left, but instead headed toward the tents!

They were martial artists; although they were sometimes straightforward, they weren't completely brainless!

Fan Zeng was right!

Ying Su was not a kind-hearted person; even if they surrendered, he might not accept them!

Now, the only path they could take was to fight Ying Su to the end!

It's either you die, or I live!

At that moment, many people's beliefs became firm!

And inside the tent!

Fan Zeng didn't care about the departure or stay of these people, and Chanyu Modu cared even less!

Apart from a few, Chanyu Modu had never thought much of these Central Plains experts from the beginning.

He didn't believe they could accomplish anything either.

Therefore, he didn't care at all about whether they stayed or left!

At this moment, he just looked at Fan Zeng, feeling a bit panicked and melancholy!

Because... according to the previous agreement with Fan Zeng, if they failed, then... he would have to listen to him!

And if he listened to him, now, he would have to withdraw his troops!

But... how could he be willing to withdraw his troops!

Having invested so much, only to lose, how could he not be unwilling?

At this moment, he was silent, hesitating on how to persuade Fan Zeng.

But after thinking for a long time, in the end, he had no good excuse to speak!

The grassland people value their promises!

Even Chanyu Modu was like this; once he said something, he had to do it!
