Chapter 597

Although today it was the Chu rebels who attempted to assassinate Ying Zheng, conversely, the fact that the other party's assassination failed, and even that they killed so many rebels in one fell swoop, captured the commanders of three of the four great legions of Chu, and captured the remnants of the Xiang clan, was this not a huge harvest!

If these people were allowed to lurk in the dark, who knows what they would come up with given their energy and strength.

Therefore, Ying Zheng was not afraid of assassination; sometimes he even wished for these people to jump out.

Jump out one, kill one.

When all the rebels jumped out and were all killed, there would be no more rebels in this world, and the empire of the Qin State would become more stable.

"Xiang Liang and Xiang Chao died at the hands of the State Master back then. Now, State Master, come with me to meet these Chu remnants!"

Ying Zheng extended an invitation to Su Xuan.

Su Xuan nodded gently.

Afterwards, the two gave up playing chess and stood up to leave.

Playing chess was just a way to pass the time; it could be said that neither of them had ever taken the outcome of this game to heart.

Soon, the two arrived at a side hall of the temporary palace.

Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo, Fan Zeng, Long Qie, and several soldiers found in the reed marsh, as well as Xiang Yu, were tied up with iron chains, and several Shadow Secret Guards were guarding them on the side.

Because illusion incense had been used on these people earlier, they were all in a dazed state at this moment.

"Let them wake up a bit!"

Ying Zheng did not speak; Su Xuan first instructed the Shadow Secret Guards.

The Shadow Secret Guards did not feel anything wrong and immediately took out the antidote.

As another burst of fragrance permeated, these people first coughed and then slowly came to their senses.

Because they had been subjected to illusion incense, when these people woke up, they first let out a cough.

Afterwards, many memory fragments flashed through their minds.

They finally realized that they had become prisoners because their assassination of Qin had failed.

Long Qie, Xiang Liang, and the others suddenly raised their heads and looked at the person in front.

Among them, Xiang Yu shouted the name of the person in front without any concealment: "Ying Zheng!～～!"

His voice carried deep anger.

Before this, he had not seen Ying Zheng, but the person in front of him, dressed in black robes and wearing the Ping Tian crown that only the Son of Heaven could wear, if it wasn't Ying Zheng, then who was it?

Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo, Fan Zeng, and the others also whispered the identity of the person in front of them: "Ying Zheng!"

Long Qie even struggled, intending to break free from the chains binding him and launch an attack on Ying Zheng in front of him.

However, after he made this movement, he found that he had no strength at all.

There were many experts in the jianghu, and there was no lack of people who could break free from chains with their bare hands. How could the Shadow Secret Guards not have considered this? So when they imprisoned these people, they had already inserted silver needles into their vital acupoints, using the needles to lock the acupoints and seal all their power.

On the other side, the young Xiang Yu made the same movement as Long Qie and soon realized this as well.

Because Ying Zheng was in front, the few Chu rebels were emotionally agitated. Relatively speaking, the State Master Su Xuan, who stood beside Ying Zheng and had earlier caused their assassination attempt to fail with his own strength, was not so important.

This was also the first time they had seen Ying Zheng since the assassination began.

No, to be precise, it was the first time in their lives they had seen Ying Zheng.

After all, the Ying Zheng of the past had always resided in the Xianyang Palace. Ying Zheng had never been to the Chu State during the destruction of Chu. The last time Ying Zheng went on an eastern tour, they were hiding in the Yunmeng Marsh, so naturally, they had no chance to see what Ying Zheng looked like.

"I did not expect that there were still so many people in the Xiang clan of the Chu State!"

"Even after the destruction of the Chu State, three of the commanders of the four great legions are still alive!"

Facing the Chu people with complex expressions, Ying Zheng's opening words made them feel horrified.

They never expected that Ying Zheng would know their origins.

The meticulous Fan Zeng could not help but ponder deeply: what exactly happened after they were captured?

His last memory was only a moment of fainting, and when he woke up, he found himself here.

It seemed that something must have happened.

Otherwise, it could not explain why Ying Zheng knew their identities and origins.

"Ying Zheng, you destroyed my Chu State and harmed my grandfather and father. I want you to die a horrible death!" Xiang Yu did not think as much as Fan Zeng. After finding that he could not break free from the chains, he immediately cursed at Ying Zheng angrily.

Xiang Liang also said coldly to Ying Zheng: "Winners are kings and losers are bandits. Now that our assassination of you has failed, you can execute us, but Ying Zheng, you are tyrannical and lawless, and you do not cultivate benevolence. The Qin State will perish sooner or later."

"｀ 」I will be waiting for you in the Youdu!"

"No, not just me, all the people of the six states who died at the hands of the Qin State will be waiting for you there!"

"Humph!" Hearing Xiang Liang's angry curse, a cold sneer appeared on the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth. "If so, then I can only try my best not to die. As long as I don't die, you will never have this opportunity."

"As for you, it is indeed time to enter the Youdu!"

Youdu was the name for the underworld, and its ruler was named Tu Bo.

After answering Xiang Liang's words, Ying Zheng looked at Xiang Yu again: "Are you Xiang Chao's son? I can see that you are quite extraordinary. If you grow up, perhaps you can really bring some trouble to my Qin State, but now, I can only let you die with your grandfather Xiang Yan and father Xiang Chao."

In any case, Ying Zheng had the strength of a Grandmaster level. Although this Grandmaster was not cultivated in a normal way and was slightly weaker than a normal Grandmaster, he was a Grandmaster after all, and his power was real. Otherwise, the heavily injured Ji Bu could not have been killed by Ying Zheng in one blow.

Because his strength was there, Ying Zheng's eye for talent also became extraordinary. He could see that the young man of the Xiang clan in front of him had good bones. If he grew up, he would surely be a fierce general.

But unfortunately, Ying Zheng did not want to give the other party a chance to grow.

However, Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo, and the others, after hearing this sentence from Ying Zheng, finally had a question that had been hidden in their hearts for many years answered.

That was, their father and brother indeed died in the Qin State, at the hands of Ying Zheng.

In the past, they went to the Qin State to visit Lord Lord Changping, but never returned. Later, this matter became a cold case. Although they guessed that their father and brother might have had an accident in the Qin State, they suffered from a lack of evidence.

Now, hearing Ying Zheng's words, they finally had a definitive answer.

But this answer was not what they wanted to hear.
