Chapter 6

~5 min read 964 words

In no time at all, the Great Qin's army of a million had somehow been reduced to a pulp of flesh!

An army of a million — that was nearly every soldier Great Qin had — and just like that, wiped out by a single man?

"No!"

Ying Zheng cried out.

In that instant, he jolted upright from the bed.

He touched his forehead — it was drenched in sweat!

His body was just as clammy and sticky!

"Strange! How could I, the lone one, have such a bizarre dream?"

He frowned and shook his head!

Yet, in that very instant, something felt off.

He whipped his head around — three people were somehow standing right before him.

The first was Zhao Gao, trembling and shaking at this very moment!

The second was Ying Su, his family's sixth son!

Wait… sixth son?

How on earth had he come to Outside Xianyanggong?

The just-awakened Ying Zheng was slightly dazed!

But still, he turned his gaze toward the third person!

Only… the moment he looked, instantly! The cold sweat that had just vanished once again broke out all over his body!

This… isn't this the very monster he had seen in the dream?

Withered and gaunt, face like a sickly ghost, sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks!

Every feature matched perfectly!

And what was even more terrifying… in his hands, he was still gripping two hammers!

Identical to the Thunder Drums and Golden Vessels Hammers seen in the dream!

"You… what are you here for!"

Ying Zheng cried out in terror, pointing at Li Yuanba and shouting the question.

Yes, utterly furious!

The situation before his eyes was all too clear — this strange man had taken Zhao Gao and the sixth son hostage!

What was he trying to do?

Ying Zheng raged, his eyes fixed dead on Li Yuanba!

But at this moment, Ying Su bowed toward Ying Zheng with utmost reverence:

"Reporting to Father Emperor, your son has rebelled!"

PS: Begging for flowers, begging for evaluation tickets — if the first day's evaluation tickets pass a hundred, then ten updates every day thereafter!

Begging all you big shots to feed me flowers and evaluation tickets!

006. Begging Father Emperor to write the edict of abdication!

"Oh!"

Ying Zheng nodded!

At this moment, perhaps because he had just woken and was still not clear-headed enough, or perhaps because he had been frightened by the Li Yuanba before him.

At this very moment, he had almost no awareness of what Ying Su was saying.

A moment later, when he came back to his senses, in that instant, his eyes went wide, and he looked at Ying Su with a face full of disbelief:

"What did you say?"

"Rebel?"

He was shaken beyond measure!

Ying Su, meanwhile, bowed once more with utmost reverence, and began again:

"Reporting to Father Emperor, your subject has already rebelled — the current Outside Xianyanggong has been completely taken over by your son!"

Ying Su spoke while performing his bow with meticulous care.

Meanwhile, Zhao Gao beside him was so scared he was practically numb; standing there, trembling and quivering, finally, he simply dropped to his knees with a thud, and toward Ying Zheng he kowtowed frantically while wailing loudly:

"Your Majesty, this servant… this servant… is guilty!"

He cried out at the top of his lungs!

Yes, with such a terrible upheaval in Outside Xianyanggong, how could he not tremble in terror?

As a servant, at this moment, he could only kneel and beg for forgiveness!

But Ying Zheng did not look at him!

At this moment, his gaze was like lightning, fixed dead on the Ying Su before him.

Even now, he was still in a state of utter shock and disbelief!

Ying Su… had rebelled?

His own sixth son — just like that, had rebelled?

This… what on earth for?

And where did he get the nerve!

He was utterly astounded!

But upon seeing Li Yuanba, suddenly, a cold glint began to flash in his eyes!

Pointing at Li Yuanba, he opened his mouth to ask:

"And this person?"

"Who is he?"

"What does that have to do with you?"

Ying Zheng asked aloud!

Even now, recalling the scenes from the dream, he still felt shaken!

Too formidable!

Too capable in battle!

Fighting a million soldiers all by himself!

Before him, the million-strong army was like flies, swatted about chaotically!

He was utterly shocked!

Meanwhile, Ying Su bowed once more with utmost respect:

"His name is Li Li Xuanba; I brought him here. He is my subordinate!"

Ying Su admitted it openly and gracefully!

The moment Ying Su confirmed it, Ying Zheng felt relieved!

Indeed, having secured such a fierce warrior, how could one be content to serve under another?

In that case, rebellion was hardly surprising!

After all, that was the kind of overwhelming martial power that could face a million soldiers alone!

People often say that individual prowess means nothing before an army!

But... in this man's case, it must be reversed: before Li Yuanba, the power of an army means nothing!

Ying Zheng's heart was still reeling from the shock.

As for Ying Su, he could not help but admire inwardly.

He... was indeed the First Emperor!

A man who had weathered great storms and towering waves!

Upon learning of his own rebellion, apart from a brief moment of surprise at first, he had remained as calm as drifting clouds and gentle breezes!

With such fortitude, it was hard for Ying Su not to admire him!

Indeed!

Among those Emperors in history, who upon learning of someone's rebellion did not slam the table and glare in fury?

Li Shimin, hailed as the Heavenly Khagan, nearly jumped with rage upon learning of Li Chengqian's deliberate plot to rebel.
