The Great Qin Dynasty: The egg of the Black Bird was revered as a national guardian beast.

"Bang!"

The wooden box fell from Chen Sheng's hands and landed on the ground.

A bloody head rolled out of the wooden box and landed in front of the soldier.

"Oh my god!"

The soldier cried out in fright and retreated.

But Chen Sheng didn't seem to care much. His face was ashen as he picked up the bamboo slips that had been placed on the table.

He unfolded the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at it.

His eyes scanned the text on the bamboo slips until he reached the end, then he paused for a moment, threw the bamboo slips down.

This is a report sent by Tian Zang from Xingyang.

The report referred to Wu Guang,

Arrogance and disregard for the soldiers, stubbornness and refusal to listen to advice, delayed the righteous army's military plans, which led to a mutiny and ultimately death!

Chen Sheng closed his eyes, his face ashen.

Does Tian Zang think he's a fool?

But he also knew that now that Wu Guang was dead, Tian Zang had seized the opportunity to take control of a large force on the front lines in Xingyang, so he could not act rashly.

Moreover, Wu Chen betrayed him and declared himself king.

Now, we must not force Tian Zang to rebel, and we also need to use Tian Zang to resist the Qin army and capture Xingyang.

Thus, Chen Sheng suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the soldier, who had just been startled and was still in shock.

He let out a breath.

Chen Sheng closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Pass on the order."

"Ah, yes." The soldier, upon hearing Chen Sheng's voice, snapped out of his daze and quickly bowed his head in response.

"General Tian Zang quelled the rebellion to reassure the army."

"Now I bestow upon the Chief Minister the seal of office, promote him to the rank of General, and order him to command the army of Xingyang to resist the Qin army!"

He not only wanted to retroactively recognize Tian Zang's actions as acts of suppressing rebellion, but also...

Instead, he should be treated with the utmost respect, appointed as the Prime Minister, promoted to the rank of General, and made to reach the highest rank among officials!

After the soldiers announced their orders to withdraw, they left.

Looking around, Chen Sheng put Wu Guang's head back into the wooden box.

Looking at the head in the wooden box, I thought, "I never imagined that since that day we parted, it would be our last."

Chen Sheng's voice trembled slightly.

He spoke softly, his hands hanging limply at his sides, his knuckles white from gripping them so tightly, and he stood there with his eyes closed.

He knew that what he had done was wrong to Wu Guang, who had died tragically.

But he really had no other choice.

Wu Chen declared himself king in Zhao, and Tian Zang staged a coup, both likely intending to amass power and control their own armies.

He can command,

Now there are only Zhou Shi, Song Liu, and Zhou Wen.

Chen Sheng let out a breath, picked up the lid of the wooden box, gave it one last look, and then closed it.

Here, only a sigh remains...

.................

A young general, seated on his horse, raised his hand and sharply waved it downwards at the commanding officer behind him.

"Prepare for war!"

The soldier nodded and waved the flag in his hand.

Then, the war drums of the army beat loudly, producing a series of muffled sounds that made the blood boil in everyone's hearts.

As the drums sounded...

Footsteps approached, the army lined up, shields were raised in front of them, and long spears were thrown out.

Before that vast army, Han Xin sat on horseback.

"Archers, prepare!"

Looking at the chaotic army rushing towards him from afar, he raised his hand, waited for a long time, and then waved it downwards.

"Release the arrows!"

At this command, countless arrows flew up, obscuring the sun, before whistling as they fell.

...............

Before long, news of victory reached Xianyang.

Han Xin led his army to quell the rebellion, but unexpectedly encountered a riotous army that had been besieging Xingyang for a long time at Ao Cang. In the end, he defeated the enemy army and Tian Zang committed suicide.

They then went to Xingyang and annihilated the remaining rebel troops there.

On their way to Chen County, they encountered Zhou Wen, who had come to their aid, and wiped him out.

At this moment, he is leading a large army to Chen County to quell the rebellion.

These reports of victory greatly dampened the calls for uprisings across the land, and the frenzied wave of rebellions subsided.

at night,

The night air was cool.

It brushed against my body, carrying a deep, cold chill.

Xuan Ye stood alone in the palace, his hands behind his back, gazing at the vast, dark night, clearly unable to sleep.

He must not have had a good night's sleep in a long time.

When should it be?

It was probably after His Majesty fell into a deep sleep. I never imagined he would sleep for so long, for several months now.

But to this day, there is still no sign of him waking up.

"Hoo." He exhaled, closed his eyes, and looked around, his figure growing increasingly forlorn.

Standing in the deep and desolate palace.

He picked up the jade pendant that he always wore at his waist, rubbed it with his fingers, lowered his eyes, and carefully examined it.

He sighed and wandered around.

He walked alone to the palace where the First Emperor had arranged for him to live.

He waved away the Black Bird Guards who were still on duty there.

A person stands under the sycamore tree in the courtyard.

He raised his head and looked at the tree.

As a gentle breeze rustled the shadows of the trees, I squinted slightly.

He lowered his head and sat down behind the table.

He gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Although no one dares to say it to my face, I know what they talk about in private."

"They're talking about how His Majesty won't wake up, and they're talking about my rule."

"They thought that His Majesty the First Emperor would not wake up, but I took advantage of His Majesty's unconsciousness to kidnap the Crown Prince and carry out state affairs."

"But what they don't know is..."

"I never wanted to be in power. I just wanted to wait for His Majesty to wake up so that I could return his Great Qin to him intact."

His eyes closed.

What appears before my eyes are scenes from the past.

At that time, he had only been in this world for a short time, and faced with this unfamiliar world, he liked to stay in this tree.

At that time, the First Emperor often came to talk to him.

They said how annoying the Confucian scholars were, which minister slept during court assemblies, and how disobedient Fusu was.

At that time, the First Emperor often lamented that his sons were useless.

At that time, the First Emperor sighed that the princess was obedient and well-behaved, and wished that Fusu could also be so obedient.

Although it was mostly the First Emperor who was speaking, he tilted his head and listened quietly...

However, when the First Emperor was seriously ill,

Seeing the once tall and mighty First Emperor now lying on his bed, looking emaciated.

After taking the elixir of immortality,

He told the First Emperor that things would get better soon.

He is no longer the person he used to be; now, he can't stop...

"I just can't let it go."

"I promised him, how can you be so easygoing?"

His voice trembled as he spoke softly, his hands resting limply on the table, his eyes closed as he sat there.

He didn't know if the First Emperor would wake up.

But he assured the First Emperor that he would recover soon, and that no matter what happened in the end, he would wait for the First Emperor to wake up.

Before he wakes up, he must protect his Qin Dynasty no matter what.

He truly can't let go of things now.
