Chapter 115
The flame of the Zhou royal family, which divided the land among its princes, was extinguished.
[The various schools of thought wandered in darkness.]
The Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were marked by centuries of turmoil that never ceased.
[The one who ends the war quietly gives birth to an enemy nation]
His name was Ying Zheng!
The simple narration points out that period of history.
Ying Zheng, who conquered the Six States, unified the world, and became the First Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom, was initially just a hostage abandoned by the state of Zhao State.
Late Warring States period.
All six Qin King of Qin were wise and virtuous rulers who gradually transformed the Qin State, which was located in the northwest, into the most powerful state.
Countries around the world regard it as a major threat.
In an attempt to appease the Zhao State, the King of Qin sent Yiren to Handan, the Handan of Zhao State, as a hostage.
He was the father of the First Emperor.
Ying Zheng was born in an enemy state and suffered oppression from a young age.
Dragon Country people are so familiar with this period of history that it's practically a must-know topic for exams.
On the screen.
A little boy with rosy lips and white teeth, looking exceptionally cute, appeared, being held in his mother's arms.
"Wow, is this the First Emperor as a child? So cute!" Luo Ya couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Having just watched the live stream of the powerful and invincible First Emperor arriving in Fuyuki, seeing this adorable little boy is a stark contrast.
"That's probably true."
Ilya nodded in agreement.
The work of receiving the Heroic Spirit had been completed, and the three of them gathered at her house, thinking of playing a pillow fight, when they saw this leaked video.
"Well, according to history, the First Emperor began his escape from Handan, the Handan of Zhao State, at the age of nine, and was pursued by enemy troops."
Luo Ya blinked her big eyes, staring intently at the video.
She admired many Heroic Spirit, but the First Emperor ranked first in her heart.
It can be said that it was precisely because the other side destroyed the Six States and unified the world that the Dragon Kingdom was not split into dozens of small countries like Europe!
He truly deserves the title of Eternal Emperor!
Ta-da-da~
In the video, the sound of horses' hooves echoes as a carriage flees westward in panic.
Behind it, hundreds of cavalrymen chased after it frantically, surrounding the carriage from all sides.
The wealthy merchant Lu Buwei's face was full of anxiety. "Damn it, how did we get caught up?"
Back then, he persuaded Yiren, who was staying in the Zhao State as a hostage, to invest all his family property in Qin Yiren by arguing that "rare goods are worth hoarding".
He even gave Zhao Ji to the other party to be his wife.
If the other party succeeds to the throne as King of Qin, he will receive a reward that is dozens or even hundreds of times greater.
Yiren also promised that if he succeeded to the throne as King of Qin, he would share the Qin State with him!
Thousand:'!? Seek'";, Free,,', Fee,. Small:! Say,'Skirt:.2'.'5''::5.";!5''.9!5."?;3!:,0.0 Now, he returned to Handan in the Handan Zhao State, intending to take away the son of the Yiren who had stayed in Handan, but he never expected to be caught up by the Zhao army.
Once caught, all investments will be lost, and even he will not escape death!
Hundreds of Zhao State cavalrymen completely surrounded the chariot.
The leading Zhao general sneered, "Lu Buwei, how dare you lead this bastard of Qin State to escape! You're dead!"
If the Qin State traitor is captured, the King of Zhao will reward him handsomely.
The thought of a bright future—marrying a noblewoman, rising through the ranks to wealth, and reaching the pinnacle of life—is quite exciting.
Therefore, he absolutely cannot allow any problems to occur!
"It's all over!" Lu Buwei felt utterly hopeless.
All three people got out of the carriage.
A dozen or so armed guards surrounded them, protecting them from behind.
The handsome little boy was being held tightly in his mother's arms, but his eyes remained calm and serene.
In the state of Zhao State, he was hated and despised by countless people from a young age, which made him mature early.
His mother held him in her arms and whispered as she looked around, "Zheng'er, you must remember these people's faces. If you can escape back to Qin, you must kill these people and destroy the entire Zhao State!"
"Hahaha, you think you can destroy the Zhao State? I'll kill you all right now!" the leading general sneered.
The two countries are long-time enemies.
In particular, during the Battle of Changping, 400,000 Zhao soldiers were massacred by Bai Qi of Qin State.
This caused countless people in Handan to weep, and their hatred for the Qin State reached its peak.
His father was one of the Zhao soldiers who were massacred.
"Kill them!"
The black-armored general issued a stern order.
The cavalrymen hesitated for a moment, then obeyed without hesitation.
Ta-da-da~
The sound of horses' hooves echoed throughout.
Dozens of cavalrymen charged forward madly, carrying an overwhelming killing intent that could sweep everything away.
The battle suddenly broke out.
The guards were no match for the battle-hardened elite and were all killed on the spot.
The stench of blood permeated the air.
This suddenly made countless viewers yearn for the Holy Light Dark Priest River Crab Divine Beast.
"Ancient battles were truly bloody!" Luo Ya exclaimed, her face pale.
As a cute and adorable little girl, she has never even killed a chicken.
Seeing such scenes of murder is truly unbearable.
The other two did the same, turning their heads away one after another, unable to bear watching any longer.
The guards were slaughtered by Zhao State soldiers in the blink of an eye.
A soldier swung his sword at the mother and child!
At this critical moment, a sword blocked his path with lightning speed, killing him in one strike!
The knight fell from his horse, his face still showing resentment.
Countless anxious and worried viewers instantly felt reassured and breathed a sigh of relief.
Giant Hero Emiya has arrived!
In the previous "Oath Under the Snow," the opponent single-handedly fought his way through the Holy Grail War, defeating seven enemies in one night.
Even Angelica, who wielded the Calamity Sword, was defeated by him, who fused a thousand swords into one.
How could a mere group of soldiers possibly withstand the enemy?
Giant Hero Emiya shielded the mother and child behind him and said softly, "I'm sorry, but I'll protect the child."
"Heh, a mere swordsman dares to try and stop us?"
The Zhao State general, his expression icy, issued another order, "We have 150 men against one, the advantage is on our side, kill him!"
Then.
He saw the other person's figure flash and suddenly disappear from sight.
Where did they go?
When the opponent went through the preliminary rounds again, he suddenly appeared right in front of him and slashed his throat with a sword!
"You..."
The black-armored general never expected that his opponent would be so strong.
All the glory and wealth have vanished, leaving only resentment as one lies on the ground.
This was a massacre!
The once fierce and powerful soldiers were utterly helpless in front of him and were completely defeated in the blink of an eye.
One by one, the cavalrymen fled in panic.
Emiya didn't give chase at all, but turned to look at the little boy. "Do you crave power?"
"May I become your apprentice? May I ask your name?"
The young First Emperor looked at the other person with Gilgamesh eyes.
With this powerful ability, one can protect those they wish to protect and do whatever they want.
"Just a Nameless Heroic Spirit walking through Human History. I'm sorry, I can't be your teacher."
Wuming gently shook his head, and seeing the little boy's disappointed expression, smiled and said, "But I can teach you."
"Real?"
The young First Emperor's eyes Gilgamesh brightly.
The onlookers instantly flooded the screen with comments.
[Here it comes! Giant Hero Emiya is about to unleash his irresistible charm again!]
[King of Heroes silently gives a thumbs up!]
[It's over, it seems even His Majesty the First Emperor can't stop it!]
[King Arthur and the Dark Saintess also silently gave a thumbs up! Lessons are about to start again, lasting until dawn!]
Under the watchful eyes of all the onlookers.
"I have three swords: the Sword of the Son of Heaven, the Sword of the Vassals, and the Sword of the Knight-errant."
Wuming spoke of what he could teach and explained, "The Sword of the Son of Heaven is made with Mount Qi State as its tip, the Six States as its blade, and the world as its scabbard; one sword can pacify the world!"
"The Sword of the Vassals, with warriors as its tip, soldiers as its blade, and the kingdom as its sheath, can forge a hegemon with a single strike!"
"The Sword of the Knight-errant is tipped with chivalry, wielded with passion, and sheathed with justice; it is the sword to roam the martial world!"
Despite being called three swords, they are actually three completely different paths.
One path, the conquest of Six States and the unification of the world, was fraught with hardship.
One option is to remain content within the country and become a regional hegemon.
One, like him, became the Giant Hero Emiya, praised by thousands.
Now, three paths lay before the young First Emperor.
The child's eyes were filled with unwavering determination as he looked up at him solemnly and said, "Sir, I want to choose the Sword of the Son of Heaven!"
"This is a difficult road. You will suffer endless disasters in the future, and may even be cursed by thousands." Wuming reached out and touched the little boy's head.
"Sir, I know. I yearn to become stronger, I want to become a supreme king, I want to end this centuries-long war!"
The young and inexperienced Ying Zheng met his gaze without flinching.
Having lived in an enemy country since childhood, the young Ying Zheng had already seen through many things.
He bowed respectfully to the other party, saying, "Master, I wish to learn the Sword of the Son of Heaven. Please instruct me!"
Lu Buwei, standing beside him, looked at the child with shining eyes, as if he were seeing a mountain of gold and silver.
