Chapter 5

But... who is fighting whom?

How could he not understand it at a glance?

But after watching for a while, he understood.

At the same time, he was utterly stunned!

Because... this was one person fighting against thousands, even tens of thousands?

Even more terrifying was... these thousands or tens of thousands were actually at a disadvantage?

No, no, no!

To call them at a disadvantage was giving them far too much credit!

In Zhao Gao's eyes, how could this even be called a battle!

It was nothing but a slaughter!

Thousands upon tens of thousands of people, like ants, being slaughtered by a single man!

Thousands upon tens of thousands of people slaughtered by one man?

It sounded unbelievable, but before Zhao Gao's eyes, it was the truth!

Beneath that pair of heavy hammers, all men were equal!

Everyone struck by the hammers met only one fate — being smashed into a pulp of flesh!

Beneath those twin hammers!

Thousands upon tens of thousands of people, like ants before him, were smashed about by him with no power to fight back!

In just this short while, many people already wanted to flee for their lives!

In a brief moment, the blood at the Damenkou of Outside Xianyanggong had gathered into a small stream!

"This... this..."

This scene utterly scared Zhao Gao senseless.

But... what shocked him even more was yet to come!

Because... he noticed that the direction in which the man was cutting his way through was actually toward him!

And what direction was that on his side?

The direction of the First Emperor's sleeping palace!

"I... I..."

In that instant, Zhao Gao was so terrified his whole body went limp!

PS: New book launch, the first day is extremely heavy important, begging for flowers, begging for review tickets!!

005. Reporting to Father Emperor: Your Son is Rebelling!

"Go back!"

"Go back and report to the First Emperor, tell him to leave at once! Tell him to leave Outside Xianyanggong!"

At that moment, looking at the scene before him, Zhao Gao truly felt his whole mind go blank.

Indeed!

Too ferocious!

That fellow not far off — skeletal, his face like a sickly ghost — was simply too ferocious!

Let alone ten thousand men being unable to stop him, even another ten thousand might not be able to stop him!

Others, when killing, still needed all sorts of techniques.

But... what about him?

He only needed to swing his hammers; with every hammer blow, a life was taken!

And every life was smashed into a pulp of flesh!

The manner of death was utterly gruesome!

At this moment, he had to hurry back to the First Emperor's sleeping palace, wake the Emperor, and make him leave this place at once!

Outside Xianyanggong right now was truly too dangerous!

However, just as he had taken his first step, suddenly, a voice rang out beside his ear:

"Steward my lord, where might you be headed?"

At some unknown moment, Facing Ying Su had come to Zhao Gao's side, smiling cheerfully as he looked at him!

And the moment Zhao Gao saw Facing Ying Su, he first froze, then immediately reacted, pulling Facing Ying Su behind him, and said anxiously: "Young Master, Young Master, how did you get here?"

"Quickly, come away with this servant!"

"This place is dangerous!"

"Rest assured, my lord, even if this servant dies, I will protect Your Majesty the First Emperor and Your safety!"

As Zhao Gao spoke, he quickly pulled Facing Ying Su and ran toward the direction of the First Emperor's sleeping palace!

Because... he had noticed that the man like a demon was closing in on this spot!

If they didn't leave quickly, it really would be too late.

And looking at Zhao Gao's reaction now, and hearing the words he spoke.

At that moment, Facing Ying Su could not help but sigh — at this point in time, Zhao Gao was still loyal!

The reason he later altered the imperial edict and supported Hu Hai to the throne was, in the final analysis, because of Prince Prince Fusu!

He and Prince Prince Fusu did not get along, and Prince Prince Fusu had more than once declared publicly that once he ascended the throne, he would surely kill Zhao Gao and execute Li Si!

To rid the nation of treacherous villains!

Such words truly terrified Zhao Gao!

And so he committed the act of altering the imperial edict!

Though his heart was full of sighs, Ying Su still shook off Zhao Gao's hand with a smile and said:

"Set your mind at ease, my lord. You need not be afraid — this man will not harm Father Emperor!"

"At this moment, it is best to let Father Emperor sleep peacefully for a while!"

He said it with a smile!

And the moment Zhao Gao heard these words, he was utterly dumbfounded on the spot:

"Young Master… what does this mean?"

"What is the meaning of this?"

"And… Young Master does not normally leave the residence — why have you come to the Wang Gong today?"

"Coming to the Wang Gong would be one thing, but you came in the dead of night!"

"Could it be…"

He spoke his doubts aloud, glancing now at the gaunt, sickly-pale Li Yuanba, now back at Ying Su.

In that instant, as though something had occurred to him, a thick disbelief, an utter incredulity, spread across his face.

And soon, Ying Su resolved his doubts for him: "That's right. This man is indeed my subordinate, and it was I who sent him here!"

"What?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Zhao Gao's soul flew from his body in terror!

Inside Ying Zheng's sleeping chambers!

At this very moment, though the shouts of battle outside shook the heavens, Ying Zheng was still fast asleep!

However… his sleep was far from peaceful!

Just like Ying Su earlier, his head and his whole body were drenched in sweat!

Having a nightmare?

Yes!

He was having a nightmare too!

Moreover, this dream was utterly extraordinary.

In the dream, he saw a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life!

A gaunt, sickly-pale man, gripping his Jin Chui, fighting alone against a million of the Qin Army!

And though he fought a million of the Qin Army single-handed, not a single one of them could lay a hand on him!

Not only could they not touch him — he alone slaughtered them into mountains of corpses and seas of blood, rivers running red!
