The Myth of Daqin: The Soul of Yi Xiaochuan

Fusu stood in front of Hu Hai, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He looked at Hu Hai and said softly: "Hu Hai, why do you and I have to be like this?"

Hu Hai sneered, his gaze like a sharp blade, piercing Fusu directly. "Hmph, let's put an end to the grudge between you and me today." His voice was cold and resolute.

Fusu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I don't want to be your enemy. I just hope you can let go of your desire for power and put the people of the world first."

Hu Hai roared with laughter, his voice filled with mockery and disdain. "Enough, Fusu, oh Fusu, you are still so naive. In this world, only the strong can rule. That is me, you are not worthy!"

Fusu opened his eyes wide and looked at Hu Hai in disbelief. He never thought that his beloved brother would be involved in the murder of his father!

In an instant, Fusu felt as if the world was spinning around him. The faith and hope in his heart collapsed instantly, and a feeling of total despair surged into his heart like a tide.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense, as if it had solidified into a heavy block of lead.

Fusu and Hu Hai's gazes met in mid-air, their two gazes like burning flames, seemingly striking out dazzling sparks as they collided. Neither side was willing to give in, and the hostility between them grew ever more intense.

Zhao Gao, who was standing by, saw this and thought to himself that something was wrong. He quickly waved his hand to signal his trusted aides to send someone to find Feng Jie for support.

Not long after, a burst of hurried footsteps came from far away.

Feng Jie led a team of well-trained captains and quickly surrounded the palace from one side like a storm.

They held sharp weapons and had fierce looks on their faces.

At the same time, the personal guards who came with Meng Tian and Li Xin saw this and drew their swords without hesitation.

For a moment, cold light flashed, clanging sounds were heard, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.

Fusu was startled by this, but he remained calm. He stepped forward, facing the captain's army led by Feng Jie, and shouted, "General Feng, what do you mean? Are you planning to use force in front of all these officials?"

Feng Jie frowned slightly, glanced at Zhao Gao, but did not answer.

Zhao Gao sneered and stood up. "Master Fusu, now that His Majesty has issued an order, if you still dare to disobey, don't blame me for being rude."

Li Xin and Meng Tian, ​​who were standing behind Fusu, also stepped forward and shouted in unison: "We will only take the truth seriously and will not allow treacherous officials to take power."

Zhao Gao snorted coldly and said, "Everyone standing here, I will give you one more chance. If you are willing to obey my order, please stand to my left."

Then, ministers such as Yao Jia and Zhou Qingchen hesitated and walked to Zhao Gao's left side. Wang Li also walked over, and Ren Qi also walked over when he saw this.

A hint of pride appeared on Zhao Gao's face.

Fusu glared at the officials and shouted, "Have you all forgotten the kindness and power of the Qin Dynasty in the past? To be shaken by Zhao Gao's words alone is truly unbecoming of a loyal minister."

At this moment, Yang Duanhe, who had remained silent until then, looked directly at Zhao Gao and spoke: "Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao, do you really think you can get what you want by means of coercion and inducement? Look at what happened today. There are countless suspicious points, and yet you are so impatient to force your way through. Could it be that you have something to hide, a guilty conscience?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao's face instantly darkened. He retorted in a sharp, piercing voice, "How dare you, old man Yang Duanhe, speak nonsense and fabricate nonsense here! Everything I do is strictly in accordance with the will of Your Majesty. How can I allow an ignorant person like you to make unwarranted assumptions and slander me?"

After saying this, Zhao Gao suddenly waved his sleeves and shouted to the guards behind him, "What are you still standing there for? Quickly capture this man!"

After hearing the order, the guards immediately rushed forward and pounced on Yang Duanhe.

Seeing this, Yang Duanhe naturally refused to sit and wait for death. He roared angrily and waved the sword in his hand, ready to fight back.

However, something unexpected happened - Tu You, who was standing aside, suddenly took advantage of Yang Duanhe's unpreparedness and stabbed him fiercely with a sharp knife.

There was a muffled "puff" sound, and the sharp tip of the knife had already pierced deeply into Yang Duanhe's back.

In an instant, Yang Duanhe felt a sharp pain and a large amount of blood spurted out of his mouth. Then his body shook a few times and finally fell to the ground weakly.

Seeing this, Fusu could not help but burst into anger. He glared at Zhao Gao with wide eyes and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Zhao Gao, you cruel and wicked villain, how dare you so wantonly kill loyal and honest people! Where is justice? Where is fairness?"

Facing Fusu's angry rebuke, Zhao Gao sneered sinisterly, "Master Fusu, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. The situation is hopeless now. If you surrender obediently, you may still be able to save your life. Otherwise, you will be the next to suffer!"

Meng Tian shouted, "We are all soldiers of the Great Qin. How can we allow you, a eunuch, to act recklessly!" Then he drew his sword and rushed towards Feng Jie.

Upon seeing this, Feng Jie hurriedly ordered his army to stop them.

Just as the two sides were about to engage in a melee, a long horn sounded suddenly from the east outside Xianyang City.

Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice.

Meng Yi took the lead and led more than 5,000 aggressive cavalrymen, rushing forward like a gust of wind.

The sound of horse hooves resounded across the earth, as if to crush everything in the world.

Hu Hai and others were so shocked that their faces turned pale. They stared at the scene in disbelief with their eyes wide open.

Zhao Gao was furious when he saw this. He pointed at Meng Yi and shouted sternly, "Meng Yi, you are a fugitive, yet you secretly mobilized the army to besiege Xianyang. Are you planning a rebellion?"

Meng Yi sneered, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. He righteously retorted, "Zhao Gao, you are the ones who truly intend to rebel. You tampered with the imperial edict and murdered the emperor's ministers. Such crimes are unforgivable!"

"My Lords, these are two imperial edicts. One is Your Majesty's edict appointing Prince Fusu as Crown Prince, and the other is a blood edict written by Your Majesty himself before his death, ordering Prince Fusu to inherit the throne."

As Meng Yi spoke, he ordered people to open the two imperial edicts. His voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing in the air.

When Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, Feng Quji and others on the city wall saw the imperial edict, they were shocked and their faces became extremely ugly.

Feng Quji was extremely panicked, but he still tried to remain calm and shouted at the top of his voice: "This is a forgery, Meng Yi, don't try to confuse people!" However, his voice was trembling unconsciously, and it was obvious that he lacked confidence.

Zhao Gao echoed, "That's right! How could Your Majesty issue such an edict? It must be a lie fabricated by you, the Meng brothers, in your vain attempt to usurp the throne!"

Meng Yi had anticipated that they would say this, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty's edict has a seal, and we will know its authenticity by testing it. If it is His Majesty's true intention, do you still dare to disobey?" His eyes were like torches, sweeping over the people on the city wall.

At this time, some officials in the crowd began to waver, and they whispered to each other.

Fusu stood up and said in a loud voice: "I have no intention of competing for the throne, but if it is my father's true intention, I will take on the responsibility of the Great Qin."

Meng Tian also called out loudly: "Fellow soldiers, we should obey His Majesty's will and not be used by villains." His words were like a sharp sword, piercing the void.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the city wall became extremely tense, and the two sides were on the verge of a war.

Hu Hai realized that the situation was not good and gave Tu You a wink. Tu You waved his hand and a team of guards holding Qin crossbows secretly aimed at Fusu.

"Swoosh", "Swoosh", "Swoosh", suddenly more than a dozen crossbow arrows shot towards Fusu like a rainstorm.

At this critical moment, Meng Tian flew towards Fusu like an arrow and protected Fusu tightly behind him.

"Puff", "Puff", "Puff", the crossbow arrows mercilessly hit Meng Tian's body, and blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth, staining his battle robe red.

"General Meng!" Fusu shouted in horror. He wanted to break free from Meng Tian's protection, but was held down by Meng Tian.

"Young master, don't move. I am here to protect you." Meng Tian said to Fusu while enduring the severe pain.

Immediately, Meng Tian was hit by several arrows, his body swayed and he fell down, fainting.

I've been home these two days, so the updates have been slow.

Today is Xiaonian, I wish everyone a happy Xiaonian
