All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

Han Chunming's demeanor and tone thoroughly enraged Meng Tian.

As the top general of the Qin Dynasty, his 300,000-strong Meng family army was renowned throughout the world. Even the Xiongnu people would run away when they saw him. But this madman in front of him had so offended the might of the Qin Dynasty. Meng Tian wished he could kill him with a single sword stroke!

Seeing Meng Tian's helpless expression, which made Han Chunming feel much better, he couldn't help but continue to tease him.

"What are you staring at like that for? Look again and I'll pluck your eyes out!"

Unable to bear the insult any longer, Meng Tian rushed forward with his bare hands, ready to fight Han Chunming to the death.

Yi Xiaochuan quickly grabbed his waist and kept trying to persuade him.

"Hey, hey, you're still injured and can't beat him. Don't be impulsive. He's like me, not a citizen of Qin, so it's normal that he doesn't understand your customs. Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, let's talk this out!"

With Yi Xiaochuan holding him by the waist, Meng Tian couldn't fight Han Chunming to the death, so he could only continue to glare at Han Chunming with his bull-like eyes.

Han Chunming pretended not to see it and continued speaking to Yi Xiaochuan.

"Xiao Chuan, let me tell you something. If you send Yu Shu to Xianyang now, you'll never be able to be with her for the rest of your life. Even if you enter the palace, you can only see her secretly. Qin Shi Huang is very possessive!"

Han Chunming's mocking remarks about Qin Shi Huang enraged Meng Tian once again. This was the first time in his life that someone had spoken of his emperor in such a way. Today, he would risk his life to kill this madman on the spot.

Yi Xiaochuan's bitterness deepened. He held Meng Tian tightly, remaining silent and not answering Han Chunming's questions.

Yu Shu, with tears in her eyes, silently watched Yi Xiaochuan's back.

Han Chunming got angry when he saw Yi Xiaochuan's spineless appearance. He finally jumped off his horse and let the horse graze on its own. He slowly walked to Yi Xiaochuan's side and said with a serious expression.

"As a modern person, it's infuriating to see you in ancient times, unable to even protect the woman you love!"

Yi Xiaochuan gritted his teeth at Han Chunming's words and glared at him fiercely.

Han Chunming looked at the two men in front of him, snorted, and drew the Starry Night sword from his waist.

Upon seeing this, Yi Xiaochuan and Meng Tian instinctively took a half-step back.

Han Chunming snorted again, and thrust the Starry Sky Sword into their faces, planting it firmly in front of them.

Han Chunming crossed his arms and said in a contemptuous tone.

"Do you really want to hit me? Here's the sword. I'll stand here and not move. If you can force me back even half a step, I'll consider it a loss."

I originally came here to give you a good talking-to, but seeing your spineless state just made me angry! And you, Meng Tian, ​​right? You come at me too! I just said, no one in this world can stop me, not even Qin Shi Huang!

Han Chunming's arrogant words made Meng Tian grit his teeth and clench his fists tightly as he coldly stared at the man in front of him.

Yi Xiaochuan was in a state of confusion at the moment. Perhaps he really disliked Han Chunming. He slowly released Meng Tian's waist.

Once Meng Tian was free, he glanced at Yi Xiaochuan and said in a cold tone.

"Our Meng family is deeply favored by the Emperor, enjoying the Emperor's bounty and serving him faithfully. For generations, the Meng family has been the cornerstone of the Great Qin. Today, you and I, brothers, will join forces to kill this madman who insulted the First Emperor of Qin, and repay the Emperor's favor!"

Upon hearing Meng Tian's words, Han Chunming snorted disdainfully.

Upon hearing Han Chunming's snort, Meng Tian finally erupted. Almost without warning, he grabbed the Starry Sky Sword from the ground, and with a light tap of his feet, he was already close to Han Chunming.

The longsword in his hand moved with lightning speed. In that instant, the tip of the sword was already pressed against Han Chunming's heart, about to pierce through his chest.

Han Chunming didn't move an inch. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his right hand moved with the speed of a blur, flicking the tip of the sword.

With a clang, the sword tip deviated from its course, and Meng Tian stumbled, nearly falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Meng Tian was somewhat incredulous. How could the force that had just come from the sword have been flicked out by a single finger?

Meng Tian was still not giving up. He grabbed the Starry Sky Sword and continued to stab at Han Chunming.

Looking at Meng Tian, ​​who was like a mangy dog, Han Chunming felt a surge of genuine anger. "He really doesn't know what's good for him."

The Meng family's martial arts were indeed unparalleled. The sword shadows almost covered Han Chunming's entire body. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have dozens of holes in his body by now.

Han Chunming finally moved. With a slight sidestep amidst the sword shadows, he tucked the Starry Sky Sword under his arm and used his full strength to break through all defenses.

In a moment of fear, he swiftly struck Meng Tian's arms with his fists, delivering a cracking sound before Meng Tian's arms went limp and hung down.

Immediately afterwards, Han Chunming kicked the other man in the stomach, shouting something.

"Go away!"

Then Meng Tian let out a miserable scream, his body flying back more than ten meters, crashing into the cave wall. He spat out blood, feeling both ashamed and angry. Finally, his face fell, and he completely fainted.

Yi Xiaochuan was still lost in thought and melancholy when he saw this scene. He was startled awake and quickly ran with Yu Shu to Meng Tian's side to check on him.

Han Chunming sheathed his Starry Sky Sword, glanced at the group, and said casually.

"Don't worry, you won't die, it's just a dislocated arm. Alright, now that the chattering is over, let's get down to business!"

Hearing that it was just a dislocated arm, Yi Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief, but a melancholy expression reappeared. He looked up at Yu Shu, his heart once again filled with turmoil.

Despite her inner turmoil, Yu Shu still put on a strong expression and gave Yi Xiaochuan a warm smile.

Seeing the two of them looking so distressed and conflicted, Yi Xiaochuan got angry and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Yi Xiaochuan, alright, stop dawdling. You decide for yourself. You can take Yu Shu with you now and come to the Western Regions with me. From now on, you two can have as many children as you want, no one will interfere. If you insist on going your own way and are willing to wear a green hat, then so be it!"

With a mixture of pain and determination in his eyes, Yi Xiaochuan finally mustered his courage, stepped forward, took Yu Shu's hand, and spoke with a solemn and resolute tone.

"Yu Shu, come with me. Let's leave the Great Qin and go somewhere where no one can find us!"

Yu Shu was deeply moved, her eyes filled with tears, and a happy smile appeared on her face. Yi Xiaochuan held her hand tightly, and she sobbed as she spoke.

"Xiao Chuan, I really want to go with you, but my identity has already determined my fate. If I really leave, I will never forgive myself in this lifetime, because the fate of my father, mother, and the millions of people of Tu'an Kingdom is all tied to me. Waaah!"

Yu Shu finished speaking with tears in her eyes. These words completely broke down Yi Xiaochuan's defenses, who had just mustered a little courage. His eyes reddened, and he hugged Yu Shu tightly, whispering in her ear.

"Don't cry, don't cry. I promise you, I promise you, whatever choice you make, I will respect your decision. No matter where you go, I will be with you!"

Yi Xiaochuan's sarcastic and offensive words made Han Chunming want to vomit.

He wasn't Yi Xiaochuan's father, so he couldn't control Yi Xiaochuan for life. Also, he really couldn't fight against the Great Qin right now.

If the Qin Dynasty hadn't been in chaos, even if the Dragon Kingdom had been given another five years to develop, it still wouldn't have been able to conquer it.

Han Chunming snorted and scolded.

"Yi Xiaochuan, since you've made this choice yourself, just don't regret it later!"

After saying that, Han Chunming turned around and wanted to leave. He couldn't control this matter, nor did he want to. Let them suffer the consequences of their own actions!

Perhaps everyone stands on different grounds, and therefore makes different choices.

Indeed, if Yu Shu really elopes with Yi Xiaochuan, then the fate of Tu'an Kingdom will be only one: the royal family will be slaughtered and Tu'an will be completely destroyed.

From Han Chunming's perspective, however, my fate is not in the hands of heaven; it is my own destiny, and no one can take it away, not even Qin Shi Huang!

Han Chunming was about to lead his horse away when he finally sighed, turned around and saw the star-crossed lovers still embracing each other, and then said to Yi Xiaochuan.

"Yi Xiaochuan, since you've made your choice, I'll give you a chance. This is my last act of help as a fellow villager!"

As Han Chunming spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and threw it towards Yi Xiaochuan.

Yi Xiaochuan reached out and took the porcelain bottle, looking at Han Chunming with some doubt.

Han Chunming took a liking to Yu Shu and then spoke.

"When Ying Zheng favors you, find a way to give the Qin Shi Huang the pills in this porcelain bottle. This medicine is colorless and odorless, and it's guaranteed to be effective after just one dose!"

Upon hearing Han Chunming's words, Yi Xiaochuan immediately tried to throw away the porcelain bottle.

Han Chunming snorted and said.

"This pill isn't poison; it just causes erectile dysfunction in men, making them unable to get an erection, understand? If you want to see that old geezer Ying Zheng doting on your Yu Shu every day, then throw it away!"

Upon hearing Han Chunming's words, Yi Xiaochuan, who was about to throw the porcelain bottle, quickly gripped it tightly in his hand, looking at the bottle with a complicated expression.

He was a seasoned womanizer in modern times, and not some innocent young man. With Yu Shu's beauty, Qin Shi Huang probably couldn't resist her on the very first day. Every time he thought of his beloved woman blushing in another man's arms, Yi Xiaochuan felt like his heart was being torn apart.

Han Chunming snorted coldly and continued speaking.

"You know a bit about history. If nothing unexpected happens, Qin Shi Huang only has five years left to live. History books say that after Qin Shi Huang died, all his concubines who had not borne children had to be buried with him. So think it through."

Five years from now, figure out how to rescue Yu Shu from the palace. If you truly love her, then find a way to elope with her in five years. Alright, I won't say anything more. You know what I mean. Goodbye!

After saying this, Han Chunming took his horse, turned around and left without looking back at the man without testicles.

It's heartbreaking to think that a modern man, who knows history and is skilled in martial arts, would hesitate to give his beloved woman to another man.

In other words, Han Chunming realized that Yu Shu had already developed feelings for Yi Xiaochuan, and simply didn't want to get involved.

If Han Chunming had known Yu Shu was this beautiful, he would have gone to Tu'an and kidnapped her back to the Dragon Kingdom long ago. He should have struck first.

But now that it's a fact, Han Chunming doesn't want to do anything recklessly for his own selfish desires; doing so would make him no different from a beast.

If I were to actually take Yu Shu away now, the consequences would probably be that Yi Xiaochuan would chop him up, Qin Shi Huang would also chop him up, and Yu Shu would die in despair.

He would face a joint attack from the two states of Tu'an and Qin, and would spend the next few years in battle.

Although he is now the ruler of a country and possesses unparalleled martial arts skills, he is still too weak in the end.

The Qin Empire was not something that a small country in the Western Regions could easily contend with. Qin Shi Huang was, after all, an emperor of all ages. If he had lived to be ninety years old, there would have been no chance for Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.

It was only after his death that the nobles of the six kingdoms, who had been suppressed by him, began to stir.

Han Chunming needs time, and so does Yi Xiaochuan.

Furthermore, Han Chunming chose to let the plot return to the original storyline.

It was because she was worried that if she let Yi Xiaochuan take Yu Shu to the Western Regions, the plot might deviate too much, and Cui Wenzi might not be able to create the elixir of immortality.

If there is no elixir of immortality, will I eventually grow old and die?

Although he is currently bursting with physical strength and feels that he has unlimited energy, he is not sure if he can live forever. Everything he has now is due to the red worm inside his body.

This was like a ticking time bomb, and Han Chunming dared not gamble. He needed to find another solution if he truly possessed immortality.

Then he would have enough time and enough research value to study himself. He believed that one day he would be able to find the secret of his dream.

Perhaps one day, I will be able to bring the immortality from my dreams back to reality?

What if the secret to immortality is discovered in a dream?

Who knows?

Han Chunming mounted his horse and rode off into the distance without looking back.

Inside the cave, Yi Xiaochuan watched Han Chunming's departing figure, filled with gratitude.

Han Chunming's words and the porcelain bottle in his hand gave him hope once again!

Yes, Qin Shi Huang, he only has five more years to live. After five years, he can find a way to take Yu Shu out of the palace and run away to a distant place.
