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

"You must be the Imperial Advisor Tang Yu. I've heard you're some kind of deity."

"I never imagined that he was also a lackey of the tyrant, and even more brutal than the tyrant in his ways."

"The Qin state will not last long in your hands."

Hearing the other person's words through gritted teeth, Tang Yu shook his head indifferently.

"I don't know if it will last long or not, but I do know that your life is not going to be long."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dao felt no fear or dread; instead, he shook his head with pride.

"In that case, I can go find my parents sooner."

"And I told them that I was about to avenge them myself."

"Together with them underground, we await the end of your life and that of Qin Shi Huang."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu suddenly realized what was happening.

"Wait a minute, are you finally giving up the act?"

"Telling me directly is their purpose to deal with me and His Majesty."

Chen Dao's face immediately froze; he never expected this.

He had actually said it so directly, even though he did have the intention of revenge.

However, he was indeed lacking in personal ability; it was just that his unique identity led the Yin-Yang School to approach him.

He's like a funnel now, full of flaws.

Tang Yu looked at the silent Chen Dao and decided to use a psychological tactic.

After all, he has now discovered the situation in Handan.

It might be more serious than he thought, and the crisis might be even greater.

Based on his previous investigation of Handan City over the past ten years since the Ji family was wiped out.

He discovered a very outrageous, and supposedly imperceptible, fact.

This city of Handan began three years after the Ji family was wiped out.

Every year, the number of missing persons in Handan is several thousand higher than in surrounding cities.

Although a few thousand people is not a large number, it happens every year.

Similarly, in other small counties and villages surrounding Handan City, there are also regular cases of missing persons.

At first, Tang Yu thought that these things were because the population census system was not strict in the Warring States period.

That's what led to these events, but after he obtained the investigation reports from Xianyang and other major cities...

He then realized that there were always an unusually large number of people in Handan.

If these people really died, or if it was due to the unique geographical reasons of Handan City.

If the customary reasons go unnoticed, then it's all fine.

But what if these people who go missing every year are not dead?

Instead, it was ruled and even managed by those with ulterior motives, and then assembled into an army.

If that's the case, then it's extremely dangerous.

Following this line of thought, Tang Yu asked Shen Lang to investigate a batch of information.

But after accessing the data, Tang Yu was even more shocked.

Because he was shocked to discover that among the missing persons...

Surprisingly, every profession, and every lifestyle-related profession, is proportionate.

It can be said that there is neither too many nor too few.

In other words, the other side really did have a plan, and there were even military personnel who went missing.

That means the other side must have formed an organized army.

Based on the number of missing persons in Handan and surrounding cities.

The enemy army is definitely no less than 5 strong.

In this day and age, 5 people can stir up quite a bit of unrest.

This is why Tang Yu takes it so seriously.

Tang Yu opened the cell door and came to Chen Dao's side.

He took out a pot of wine and poured it for him. Chen Dao glanced at the wine pot in front of Tang Yu, his tone full of disdain.

"What? Trying to get rid of me with a pot of wine?"

"You're overthinking it. Although I love drinking, I won't drink yours."

Tang Yu smiled and shook his head.

"No, I came to have a drink with you not to ask you for any information, but simply to chat with you."

"At the same time, I can assure you that you will absolutely not survive this incident."

"So, I didn't expect to get anything from you in the first place."

Seeing Tang Yu's casual attitude and the fact that he didn't lie to him verbally.

Chen Dao's expression relaxed a bit, if what Tang Yu said to him was true.

He spouted nonsense like, "If you confess honestly, you might be spared."

Chen Dao was definitely cursing Tang Yu, after all, he knew best what he had done.

If one can survive such an event, then there's no point in continuing to govern the Qin state under Ying Zheng.

"Alright, don't be nervous, hurry up and drink. I told you I just came to chat with you."

Seeing Tang Yu sitting on the ground without any regard for his image, Chen Dao finally nodded.

"Fine, I'll drink this glass of wine, but you still can't expect to get anything from me."

After glancing at the person who spoke like that, Tang Yu knew that he had the upper hand.

If the other party really doesn't want him to get anything, then he shouldn't have said a word in the first place.

Judging from this, the only descendant left by the Ji family is probably an unreliable person.

Otherwise, he probably would have already stirred up a small storm of revenge on his own.

However, it is only now that the Yin-Yang School has made its grand entrance.

"Sigh, tell me. Why was it originally the common surname Ji?"

"Now that they've changed their surname to Chen, haven't they felt resentful all these years?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dao remained silent for a moment, and then a thought came to his mind.

Anyway, the question wasn't about anything related to their plans.

After thinking about it, he spoke to Tang Yu.

"Let me tell you, I'm just having a chat with you."

“I didn’t tell you anything. I’ve been thinking about this all along.”

"However, unfortunately, in the entire city of Handan, we are the only family with the surname Ji."

"Moreover, this surname has an exceptionally noble lineage."

"Among all the noble surnames in the Zhou Dynasty, I am the only one, which shows how noble I am."

"Nowadays, changing it to Chen Dao is a last resort."

“I am writing about old events, and this is also a way to remind myself not to forget what happened in the past.”

Tang Yu nodded, but finally spoke from the heart.

"Actually, I really understand you, I'm not bragging."

"Think about it, you were just a child back then, and you saw your parents being murdered by your enemies right before your eyes."

"Most people would definitely not accept this. Wanting revenge is perfectly reasonable."

Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, Chen Dao's gaze towards him was no longer so malicious.

After all, Tang Yu was the only Qin official who understood him over the years.

"Yes, you're absolutely right."

"This is why I am obsessed with revenge, after all, my life was given to me by my parents."

“My family members died because of him, Qin Shi Huang.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu not only did not agree with him, but instead sighed.

"But you have to understand, after all, our identities and positions are ultimately different."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dao was instantly enraged and spoke to Tang Yu.

"But no matter how different they are..."

Tang Yu smiled slightly at Tang Yu's taunts; the time had come.
