All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

Therefore, he had to go to Xianyang to please Qin Shi Huang and exchange a bit of peace for Tu'an!

No matter how Yu Shu tried to persuade him, it was to no avail. Finally, she seized an opportunity, took a wooden pillow from the carriage, and hit General Jin on the back of the head several times.

General Jin cried out in pain and tried to sit up straight, but the carriage suddenly jolted, and he tumbled off the carriage.

After General Jin fell off the carriage, the carriage completely lost control, and the horses, like wild horses, charged forward.

This scene was naturally witnessed by Yi Xiaochuan and Meng Tian. Almost simultaneously, the two leaped down the hillside and ran towards the carriage.

Finally, the two jumped onto the carriage almost simultaneously, each holding one of the reins, and managed to bring the carriage to a stop, temporarily escaping the danger.

Seeing the horses stop, Meng Tian and Yi Xiaochuan immediately began to clash with their swords again, and started fighting once more. Meng Tian ripped off Yi Xiaochuan's black veil, revealing Yi Xiaochuan's true face.

Another fight ensued, and Meng Tian accidentally cleaved the carriage wall in two with his sword. The two horses immediately broke free of the carriage and ran away, leaving only the two-wheeled carriage standing alone.

Yu Shu stepped out of the carriage and saw Yi Xiaochuan's figure, and for a moment she was overwhelmed with deep sorrow.

What Yu Shu didn't notice was that the carriage behind her was slowly moving towards her because of the downhill slope.

Finally, as the slope of the downhill increased, the huge carriage accelerated once again. Upon hearing the noise, Meng Tian and Yi Xiaochuan immediately dropped their swords and rushed towards Yu Shu.

But it was too late. The huge carriage, with its immense speed, violently pushed Yu Shu, Meng Tian, ​​and Yi Xiaochuan all up and tumbled down the cliff.

Han Chunming learned about this sometime two weeks later.

Tianshan City is only a little over a hundred miles from the border of Tu'an Kingdom. The two sides are separated by continuous mountain ranges and have little interaction.

However, the disappearance of Yu Shu and Qin general Meng Tian due to an assassination attempt still caused a huge sensation.

The Qin Dynasty was furious and dispatched tens of thousands of troops to search the surrounding area. The Tu'an Kingdom also sent a large number of laborers and soldiers to search for them.

This matter was naturally discovered by the scouts of the Dragon Kingdom, who then reported it to Han Chunming.

Han Chunming was also stunned when he heard the news. He had almost forgotten about it. Wasn't this something that happened in the original drama?

So, does that mean that without my intervention in the plot, it ultimately returned to the original storyline?

Han Chunming suddenly found it very interesting; perhaps Yu Shu's trip to Xianyang was also a turning point in Yi Xiaochuan's tragic fate.

Seeing his beloved woman being personally sent to the palace to serve Qin Shi Huang was utterly humiliating.

Han Chunming suddenly felt playful. Calculating the time, he figured Yu Shu should still be in that mountain stream, taking care of Yi Xiaochuan and Meng Tian.

The two fell into the water from the cliff. Yu Shu was unharmed and took care of the two wounded men by herself. She gathered herbs and caught fish every day to look after them. After they recovered, she set off for Xianyang again.

During this time, Meng Tian also unexpectedly discovered the tiger-shaped brand on Yi Xiaochuan's body, thus concluding that Yi Xiaochuan was his younger brother Meng Yi, who had been separated from him since childhood.

Han Chunming recalled the original drama, and Yu Shu's journey to Xianyang was probably the turning point of the entire drama. If Yu Shu hadn't gone to Xianyang, perhaps none of this would have happened.

Han Chunming also wanted to try and see if he could change the plot once again.

He then made arrangements, entrusting matters concerning the Dragon Sect to Sanwanzi and political affairs to Yin Tian. Alone, he rode a fast horse toward the border of Tu'an Kingdom.

Now, walking back again, Han Chunming felt an overwhelming sense of joy welling up inside him.

A year ago, he led four hundred Black Bear tribesmen from Star City all the way to the border. In just one year, he is now the ruler of a country.

It's truly ironic how fate works; human destiny is truly unpredictable. Because of my involvement, this world has become even more interesting.

The Dragon Kingdom currently has 550,000 citizens, 5,000 cavalry, 6,000 infantry, and an army of 11,000.

He was no longer a rootless tree; he now had hundreds of thousands of subjects, tens of thousands of soldiers, and a kingdom that submitted to him.

Han Chunming's mindset has now undergone a complete transformation.

This is just the beginning. In the future, I will be the sole king of this land, and when the time is right, my army will sweep across the Central Plains.

The future of history may be changed because of us.

Because Han Chunming believed in himself, he believed he could do it.

Following his memory of the place, Han Chunming rode his horse all the way there. After a three-day journey, he finally found the river where Yi Xiaochuan had fallen off the cliff.

Downstream, Han Chunming began to search carefully. Finally, after a day of searching, Han Chunming found Yi Xiaochuan and Meng Tian recuperating in a cave in a mountain stream.

After more than half a month of recuperation, the two had basically recovered from their injuries, and they were both taken aback when they saw Han Chunming suddenly appear.

However, Yi Xiaochuan quickly recognized Han Chunming and hurriedly went up to him and called out.

"Hey, uncle, long time no see! What are you doing here?"

Han Chunming laughed heartily and replied jokingly.

"I heard you fell off a cliff, I thought you were going to die, but I didn't expect you to be so lively and energetic!"

Yi Xiaochuan and Han Chunming hadn't seen each other for a year, and since they were from the same hometown, they couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness. Yi Xiaochuan and Han Chunming stepped forward with smiles, wanting to ask him more questions.

Just as Han Chunming was about to jump off his horse, Meng Tian, ​​who was standing next to Yi Xiaochuan, suddenly noticed the Qin sword hanging at Han Chunming's waist.

Meng Tian's expression changed instantly, a fierce look appearing in his eyes. He kicked up a bamboo spear from the ground, grabbed it, and thrust it towards Han Chunming's throat like a dragon emerging from the water.

This scene startled Yi Xiaochuan, who tried to stop it, but it was too late.

Seeing this, Han Chunming's posture remained unchanged. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the instant the bamboo spear pierced his throat, his right hand shot out with lightning speed, firmly grabbing the spear and rendering it unable to move.

Meng Tian's bamboo spear was grabbed by Han Chunming with one hand. Despite his best efforts, he could not move an inch. His expression changed once again. He realized that the martial arts of the man in front of him were far superior to his own.

Seeing that Han Chunming had already grabbed the bamboo spear, Yi Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stepped forward, grabbed the bamboo stick, and threw it far away.

He immediately turned around and roared at Meng Tian.

"What are you doing? Didn't you see me greeting him? This uncle is from my hometown. Do you know what 'from my hometown' means? It means we're from the same place, understand? We're acquaintances, not enemies!"

Meng Tian ignored Yi Xiaochuan's explanation. With a stern face, he pointed to the Qin sword at Han Chunming's waist and asked.

Where did you get the sword at your waist?

Upon hearing Meng Tian's question, Han Chunming was taken aback. He then looked down at the sword at his waist, realizing that the other party had attacked him because of this sword.

This sword belonged to a Qin general among the hundreds of pursuers he encountered outside the city when he fought his way out of Star City.

Han Chunming still has some impression of that general, because the general was the first person to block his attack and even injured him at the time, but was eventually split in two by his spear.

I kept the sword because I thought it was special.

This sword is indeed no ordinary object. It has fought alongside me in numerous battles without leaving a single scratch. The material must be made from meteorite iron from outer space. It is truly amazing.

Han Chunming also named the sword "Starry Night," since he obtained it from Starry Night City and its material came from outer space. Naming it "Starry Night" was not an insult to the sword.

Han Chunming drew the Starry Sky sword from his waist and calmly examined the 1.6-meter-long blade. He couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the craftsman who forged this sword had truly reached the pinnacle of skill.

Seeing that Han Chunming did not answer him, Meng Tian became even angrier and pointed at Han Chunming, shouting.

“Even if you don’t tell me, I know who you are. A year ago, in Star City, you rescued more than 400 members of the Black Bear Royal Tribe who were about to be executed, and then massacred 774 of our brothers. The sword in your hand is the sword of Chen Yu, the Left General of Great Qin. Do you acknowledge what I’ve said?”

This was the first time Han Chunming had ever learned how many people he had killed that time. He never expected that he had accidentally killed more than 700 people!

However, in this era, life is just a number, and the victors are the ones who are condemned. Han Chunming smiled and then responded boldly.

“That’s right, I did all of that. A true man takes responsibility for his actions. There’s nothing to say about the life-or-death struggle on the battlefield. I’ve named this sword Starry Night now, and it has a true master.”

Meng Tian glared at Han Chunming through gritted teeth. Yi Xiaochuan, standing to the side, was also shocked to hear Han Chunming admit to killing more than seven hundred Qin soldiers. He looked at Han Chunming in disbelief.

Han Chunming laughed heartily, then said to Yi Xiaochuan.

"Do you think I'm cruel? There are many cruel things in this world, and I'm not the only one. Qin Shi Huang buried hundreds of thousands of laborers under the Great Wall for the sake of his empire."

For his funeral arrangements, 700,000 laborers will be buried beneath Mount Li, a million lives lost, all because of his single thought. And you, now, are about to give your beloved to him. Isn't this all too cruel?

After Han Chunming finished speaking, he felt extremely relieved. In this world, perhaps only he dared to speak so frankly about Qin Shi Huang!

Han Chunming laughed heartily. Just then, a basket fell to the ground at the entrance of the cave behind him, making a sound that made Han Chunming turn around.

At a glance, Han Chunming saw a plump, white-clad fairy who seemed to have stepped out of a painting.

She stood at the entrance of the cave, the basket of herbs in her hand had fallen to the ground. The look in her eyes when she looked at Han Chunming was a mixture of panic and pitifulness.

Han Chunming felt his mind buzzing. At this moment, he finally understood why this woman in front of him could bewitch General Jin, Meng Tian, ​​Yi Xiaochuan, and even Qin Shi Huang.

The woman before him was a hundred times more beautiful than Yu Shu in the original drama; even her panicked expression stirred a strange ripple in the man's heart.

This is truly an unparalleled beauty!

Chapter Twenty-One: The Man Without Eggs

Seeing Yu Shu's panicked expression, Han Chunming tried his best to put on a gentle smile and waved his hand, saying...

"Don't panic, I'm Xiaochuan's friend, I won't hurt you!"

Upon hearing Han Chunming's words, Yu Shu paused slightly, then bowed to Han Chunming before carefully walking to Yi Xiaochuan's side.

When Yi Xiaochuan saw Yu Shu return, he stepped forward with a hint of reproach, picked up the basket of herbs from the ground, and then said...

"Yu Shu, I told you, our injuries have healed, you don't need to go looking for herbs anymore!"

Yu Shu smiled slightly, nodded, and looked at Yi Xiaochuan with obvious affection in her eyes.

Han Chunming could already smell the sweet scent of romance in Yu Shu and Yi Xiaochuan's eyes; it seemed that their relationship had progressed rapidly during this time.

Just a moment ago, Han Chunming was indeed somewhat moved by this stunning beauty.

However, seeing the look in their eyes, Han Chunming could only sigh inwardly.

One should not covet a friend's wife. Although Yi Xiaochuan could not be considered his friend, he, like him, came from the modern world.

If I were to steal his girlfriend, Yi Xiaochuan would probably suffer even more than in the original drama.

Moreover, with his middle-aged face, he clearly didn't have the looks to make Yu Shu fall in love at first sight.

Han Chunming sighed helplessly, then asked Yi Xiaochuan.

"Xiao Chuan, are you really willing to let the person you like go to Xianyang to accompany Qin Shi Huang?"

Yi Xiaochuan was speechless, unsure how to answer the question, and looked at Yu Shu with some hesitation and pain.

Upon hearing this question, Yu Shu also revealed a bittersweet smile. She mustered her courage and spoke to Han Chunming.

"Going to Xianyang was my choice, and it was also my mission. It has nothing to do with Xiao Chuan!"

Looking at the timid and submissive Yi Xiaochuan, Han Chunming felt annoyed. Just as Han Chunming was about to say a few words of advice, Meng Tian, ​​who had been unable to hold back any longer, pointed at Han Chunming and shouted.

"You audacious madman! Princess Yu Shu is a concubine personally appointed by the First Emperor of Qin! How dare you spout such nonsense!"

Han Chunming glanced at Meng Tian with disdain and said in a flat tone.

"In this world, I can do whatever I want, and no one can stop me. Even Qin Shi Huang wouldn't be able to stop me!"
