Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

Xiong Meng stood before the crowd, watching the Imperial Guards approach him, his resolute expression growing even more intense.

This was the last preparation he made before coming to Xianyang Palace. Although he felt the situation couldn't possibly be that bad, he still made preparations.

That is, if things become impossible, he and his men will draw their weapons and try their best to kill the tyrant, or rather, the Qin officials.

That way, at least my death won't have been in vain. I never imagined that this seemingly unintentional story would actually come in handy!

"Everyone, it's almost time!"

Hearing Xiong Meng's words, a hint of fear flashed across the faces of these nobles. Ying Zheng's reputation was far too great for them, and they did not have the courage to draw their swords in front of him.

"How about we just forget about it? Even if we're put in prison, we can always find a way to escape and live a carefree life somewhere else!"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Meng's face showed even more pain.

“If it were before, that would indeed be true, but things are different now. The world is indeed vast, but apart from the grasslands and the Baiyue region, there is basically no place that Ying Zheng cannot reach. As long as you are still in this world, Ying Zheng will definitely be able to find you!”

"There's no other chance, let's make one last desperate attempt!"

Those nobles who were closely associated with Xiong Meng had also made their own preparations, and their expressions were unusually sorrowful.

Upon witnessing this scene, Xiong Meng turned his gaze to Tang Yu, his eyes filled with an unprecedented calm.

"Your Excellency, what a brilliant plan!"

Everyone in the court watched the two talking. They knew that the conversation was not just between the Grand Preceptor and Xiong Meng, but also a contest between Ying Zheng and the old nobles of the six states!

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that the results will be available soon.

"how do I say this?"

Seeing that Tang Yu was still pretending to be confused, Xiong Meng was so angry that he laughed and immediately roared in a state of near collapse.

"The Grand Preceptor is truly shrewd. Under the guise of avenging the people of Qin, he has helped His Majesty solidify the loopholes in the prefecture-county system!"

"By taking advantage of the righteousness of Qin law, we nobles from the six states were severely weakened in a legitimate way. In the end, we achieved our goal and even gained a good reputation. Who can say that the Grand Preceptor is not smart?"

What is this old man saying?

Tang Yu looked at the self-righteous Xiong Meng, his eyes filled with a hint of exasperation.

"I don't know what you're thinking, but don't overcomplicate things."

Tang Yu paused briefly, then addressed all the officials loudly:

"The reason why my teacher did this is not for any other reason or as a side effect. There is only one true and fundamental purpose!"

"That's all for the sake of those injured civilians, to get justice for them, and to make those who broke the law pay the price they deserve. Everything else is just empty talk!"

"Hahaha, I admire you! I, Xiong, admire you!"

Xiong Meng genuinely felt that Tang Yu was just spouting high-sounding platitudes.

After all, in his understanding, it was impossible for anyone to offend a nobleman for the sake of a group of lowly commoners, let alone make the nobleman pay such a heavy price!

After gripping the dagger tightly in his hand, a hint of confusion flashed in Xiong Meng's eyes.

He felt as if he had returned to his youth, fighting bravely on the battlefield. He didn't seem so old back then, and the State of Chu was very powerful. If only he could go back to that time!

"Since you're so eloquent, Grand Preceptor, I wonder if your skills can keep up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong Meng lunged directly at Tang Yu. Tang Yu had been unusually close to him because he was talking to him, and the distance between them was less than two meters!

Only then did everyone notice the dagger in Xiong Meng's hand. At that moment, several members of the noble group also drew their weapons and rushed towards Ying Zheng.

"Quickly, someone come! They're armed! Protect the emperor!!!"

"And the Imperial Advisor! This Xiong Meng is going to kill the Imperial Advisor!!"

Xiong Meng watched as he drew closer and closer to Tang Yu, feeling as if he could eliminate this new generation of Qin's national advisor and the greatest threat to the six states in the next moment.

Suddenly he noticed that Tang Yu had a jet-black tube in his hand, its matte finish devoid of any luster.

"what is this?"

Before his thoughts could settle, he heard a clap of thunder.

"boom!!!"

He felt a sudden jolt in his right leg, and his body collapsed to the ground.

Xiong Meng looked down in confusion and discovered that his right leg was gone!

Only then did he feel the sharp pain coming from his right leg!

"Ouch! It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"

Ignoring Xiong Meng, who was crying and clutching his legs, Tang Yu quickly turned to look at Zheng Ge.

After all, this seems to be a butterfly effect caused by my appearance, so I can't let anything happen to Brother Zheng!

But when he turned his head, he realized that he had worried too much. After the incident of Jing Ke's assassination attempt on the King of Qin, Zheng Ge's defense level had been raised to the highest level!

Before these people could even reach Ying Zheng, they were pierced into pincushions by the imperial guards led by Meng Tian with their spears!

Throughout the entire process, Ying Zheng remained seated on the dragon throne, without moving an inch.

"Interesting! Indeed, very interesting! I never expected that the Grand Preceptor's handling of a simple case would trigger such memories of what happened back then!"

Although Ying Zheng said this with a smile, everyone could sense the chilling tone and gritted teeth in his voice.

The emperor's wrath! The entire world is draped in mourning!

After all, Jing Ke's assassination attempt on the King of Qin was something Ying Zheng was extremely reluctant to mention in his life. The story of the King of Qin running around the pillar seems full of legendary color, but in reality, it was just a miserable escape.

"After the Grand Preceptor has finished investigating the case of the horse-riding incident, I will personally handle this assassination attempt!"

Seeing that Ying Zheng was not speaking, Tang Yu knew that he needed to finish his act and leave the stage to Ying Zheng.

At this moment, Xiong Meng was still clutching his severed leg... no... clutching the severed limb and wailing, because his leg had long since vanished!

A minister standing beside Xiong Meng in the imperial court was also stunned. He had just witnessed Xiong Meng's attempt to kill Tang Yu, but Tang Yu attacked him with a magical artifact.

His entire leg was sent flying, blood splattering everywhere, a gruesome sight! Xiong Meng's leg had actually flown right to his side!

This exaggerated scene left him with an unforgettable psychological trauma, and even now he still seems somewhat unreacted.

"May I ask, sir Xiong Meng, if my skills are worthy of your approval?"

Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, Xiong Meng looked up at the object in Tang Yu's hand with fear in his eyes!

He now realized that the reason these people treated Tang Yu this way, besides Ying Zheng's favor, was more because Tang Yu held certain truths in his hands!
