Would King Ying Zheng of Qin dare?

Although the Qin Empire was an empire, it was actually just a vassal state.

The Qin Dynasty was incomparable to the Tang and Sui Dynasties. Whether it was the vastness of its territory or the size of its army, the Qin Empire was far inferior to the Sui and Tang Empires.

Su Chen stroked Li Qiu's slender waist and said,

"Tonight, the night is long, let's enjoy the moon together and have a romantic time."

Li Qiu, filled with shame and anger, shouted and cursed.

"You damned bastard, you deserve to die a horrible death! You don't deserve to be a top nobleman, you don't deserve to be the future emperor of the empire!"

"maybe!"

"You... Waaaaah..."

Before Li Qiu could say anything to Su Chen, he hugged her tightly and kissed her.

For a time,

A romantic scene unfolded in the study, and Li Qiu gradually became intoxicated by Su Chen's caresses.

Three days later,

Su Chen was in the courtyard preparing to go to the Yongcheng Palace.

Today is the coronation ceremony of King Ying Zheng of Qin, and also the last chance for various forces to assassinate him. A grand drama is about to begin, and Su Chen wants to see who will be the final winner at the coronation ceremony.

I wonder if Li Qiu will attend the capping ceremony?

Damn it,

Su Chen has been tormenting Li Qiu for the past three days.

If Li Qiu is in danger during the coronation ceremony, Su Chen cannot stand by and watch her be killed.

Su Chen put on a black cloak and disappeared into the courtyard in an instant.

Yongcheng

In an inn,

More than a dozen masters from the Mohist and Agriculturalist schools gathered here. The coming-of-age ceremony for King Ying Zheng of Qin was about to begin, and they were also preparing to assassinate him.

In a room of the inn,

The farmers—Tian Guang, Tian Hu, Tian Mi, and Tian Zhong; the dwarf Zhu Jia and Situ Wanli; and the Mohists—Jing Ke, Yan Dan, Master Ban, and Li Wuyang—all exchanged serious glances.

Tian Guang asked Yan Dan,

"Yan Dan, where is Six-Fingered Black Knight?"

Yan Dan, dressed in black and wearing a cloak, replied, "My master is busy and can't get away."

Tian Hu said disdainfully,

"Can't get away? Yan Dan, is Six-Fingered Black Knight in hiding? Dongjun Yanfei of the Yin Yang School has been hunting down Six-Fingered Black Knight. If it weren't for the fact that Six-Fingered Black Knight was rescued by a man in black a few times, he would have been killed by Yanfei of the Yin Yang School long ago."

Tian Guang shouted, his face darkening, "Tian Hu, shut up!"

"Yes, Xia Kui."

Tian Guang reminded everyone,

"Let's set off. We'll wait for Lao Ai's men to make the first move. If Lao Ai's net fails to kill King Ying Zheng of Qin, we'll take advantage of the chaos to assassinate him. Also, Xiaoyaozi from the Taoist sect will come to help us. Xiaoyaozi should have infiltrated the Yongcheng Palace."

"Okay, let's go!"

In the square of Yongcheng Palace,

Fifty thousand Qin soldiers stood in neat rows on the square. Officials of the Qin Dynasty arrived at the altar in the square. However, these officials were divided into three groups, one of which consisted of only a handful of people.

In the main hall of the royal palace

King Ying Zheng of Qin had a very gloomy face. He looked at the intelligence report in his hand and felt a surge of anger.

Two hundred thousand Qin troops appeared thirty miles outside Yongcheng.

Without the king's decree,

According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, it is a capital offense for a general to mobilize a large army without authorization, punishable by the extermination of nine generations of his family.

Who mobilized the troops?

Lü Buwei?

Or was it Lao Ai?

Are they planning an open rebellion?

Meng Tian bowed to King Ying Zheng of Qin and said,

"Your Majesty, we should return to the capital, Xianyang, immediately. Although Yongcheng has 50,000 troops and 10,000 city guards, these troops cannot withstand the attack of 200,000 rebels, and the army in Yongcheng is not trustworthy..."

Zhang Han also hurriedly bowed and said...

"Your Majesty, General Meng is right. We should return to the capital, Xianyang, immediately."

King Ying Zheng of Qin called out with a serious expression.

"Return to the capital, Xianyang? Today is my coming-of-age ceremony. Envoys from the six eastern kingdoms have already arrived. How can I possibly leave in disgrace? This is the Great Qin Empire, this is Yongcheng, the secondary capital of Great Qin. Am I to leave in fear?"

In the main hall,

Meng Tian, ​​Zhang Han, and Gai Nie looked at King Ying Zheng of Qin without saying anything more. King Ying Zheng's attitude was already very clear: he would never leave Yongcheng to return to the capital, Xianyang.

King Ying Zheng of Qin suddenly asked Gai Nie, "Gai Nie, has your junior brother Wei Zhuang left?"

Gai Nie bowed and replied, "Not yet, my junior brother will leave after noon."

King Ying Zheng of Qin hurriedly said,

“Gai Nie, I need the help of your junior brother Wei Zhuang. I need the help of the 10,000 Black Armor Army under Wei Zhuang’s command. Meng Tian controls less than 20,000 Meng family troops. A rebellion will definitely occur during the coming-of-age ceremony. Meng Tian’s 10,000 troops are not enough to deal with the rebellion.”

Gai Nie shook his head in reply.

“This… Your Majesty, this may be very difficult. My junior brother has privately mobilized the Black Armor Army to escort Your Majesty back to Qin, which is a serious crime. I think Wei Zhuang will no longer help Your Majesty.”

“Gai Nie, you go and try first. I don’t have enough time to mobilize Wang Jian’s army. The only thing that can help me near Yongcheng is Wei Zhuang’s 10,000 Black Armored Soldiers.”

"Your Majesty, I will give it a try."

"it is good!"

Meng Tian and Zhang Han saw Gai Nie leave quickly.

They all hoped that Gai Nie would succeed. As long as Wei Zhuang's army appeared in the palace square, neither Lü Buwei nor Lao Ai dared to attack the army of the Sui Empire.

In the harem,

Li Qiu and Lady Qin, Mi Hua, sat together, waiting to participate in the capping ceremony.

but,

Li Qiu seemed somewhat absent-minded.

Mi Hua, holding the child, asked,

"Li Qiu, what's wrong with you today? Why do you look so anxious?"

Li Qiu hurriedly said something incoherently.

"Sister Mi Hua, I'm worried something might happen during His Majesty's coming-of-age ceremony."

Chapter 781 The Coming-of-Age Ceremony Begins, and the Rebellion of the Foolish Lao Ai!

Li Qiu hated Su Chen to death.

She feels very unwell right now, and her whole body feels weak and limp.

Li Qiu made a special effort to dress up and hide the passion on her face today, worried that people would notice she had been with a man.

When Mi Hua heard Li Qiu's words,

She also said with concern,

"I have the same feeling. Lü Buwei and Lao Ai are unlikely to give up their power. I am also worried that a rebellion will occur during the coming-of-age ceremony."

Li Qiu hurriedly asked,

"Sister, how many troops did His Majesty bring?"

"Less than 20,000."

Mi Hua, holding the child, answered with a serious expression.

20,000 troops

Is this enough to deal with the impending rebellion?

There are 60,000 to 70,000 troops in Yongcheng, and these troops are still under the control of Empress Dowager Zhao Ji. If Zhao Ji were to hand over the troops to Lao Ai, today's coming-of-age ceremony would likely be in great danger.

"Less than 20,000 troops?"

Li Qiu rubbed her forehead, feeling utterly helpless.
