“Rebellion! Rebellion!”
At this moment, Ying Su's heart was filled with frenzy!
His heart was pounding as well!
Yes, he had summoned Li Yuanba, who could single-handedly challenge an army of a million. What was he waiting for to start a rebellion?
Wait for Ying Zheng to die, for Hu Hai to ascend the throne, and then have his entire family killed?
Then... when should he start the rebellion?
In a few hours, Ying Zheng's eastern expeditionary force would set out.
Should he wait until the expeditionary force leaves Xianyang before starting the rebellion?
Or, should he lie low for a few months, wait until Ying Zheng dies, and then start the rebellion?
Ying Su pondered. He felt that waiting for Ying Zheng to die would make his rebellion seem justified.
But... after a moment's thought, he laughed.
Why was he agonizing over this?
He had the strength to challenge an army of a million, yet he was worrying about when Ying Zheng would die?
He was also worrying about when he would leave Xianyang City?
It was pointless!
Purely pointless!
Start the rebellion!
That's right!
Right now!
Rebel before Ying Zheng leaves Xianyang City.
While it might seem audacious, it was only audacious in appearance, with no actual danger!
After all, it was Li Yuanba!
With Li Yuanba, a warrior of such might, Ying Zheng wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
As for failing the rebellion?
What a joke! It was Li Yuanba! He had absolute military strength. How could he fail the rebellion?
As for not being able to deal with Li Yuanba and dealing with him instead?
Heh... he was a mere weakling!
Throughout history, how many emperors possessed unmatched martial arts skills?
How many emperors were assassinated?
Not to say none! But it was rare.
One Li Yuanba was enough to protect him!
What what?
You're saying the emperor has an army protecting him?
Heh... I ask you, what army could compare to Li Yuanba?
What bodyguard could compare to Li Yuanba?
So, should he care about Ying Zheng?
The First Emperor, so what? Conquering all under heaven, so what?
In the face of absolute power, any schemes and tricks are nothing but paper tigers!
So, there's no need!
Absolutely no need!
There is absolutely no need to care about Ying Zheng!
Moreover, starting the rebellion before Ying Zheng leaves Xianyang has another advantage.
That is... the decree of succession!
No matter what, forcing Ying Zheng to write the decree of succession, making him announce that he would pass the throne to him, would be better than him sitting on the throne and proclaiming himself emperor!
That would be too unjustifiable!
And the consequences of being unjustifiable would be that no one would listen to him, and he would only be able to force their submission through slaughter.
Ying Su didn't mind ruling with an iron fist, but he didn't want to be too bloody!
After all, his system was bound to the power of the Qin Dynasty.
The stronger the Qin Dynasty, the stronger his system!
Ruling with an iron fist would not be beneficial for strengthening the power of the dynasty!
The more Ying Su thought about it, the more he felt that he should start the rebellion now!
While Ying Zheng was still in Xianyang Palace, forcing him to pass the throne to him would save him a lot of trouble!
After much deliberation in his heart, he finally gave an order to Li Yuanba:
“Let’s go, to Xianyang Palace, force father to abdicate!”
His gaze was unwavering as he walked towards the outside of the mansion.
Behind him, Li Yuanba, known as the One Whose Strength Cannot Be Surpassed, followed closely!
With absolute loyalty to Ying Su, he also vigilantly surveyed the surroundings, wary of any unforeseen events!
.................................
Outside Xianyang Palace.
In a few hours, it would be time for the First Emperor's eastern expeditionary force to set out.
Therefore, the defenses outside Xianyang Palace at this time were extremely tight.
Even, there were troops gathering there in succession.
The First Emperor was about to go on an expedition, and they needed to be ready to wait!
Furthermore, officials responsible for rites and music needed to be arranged in advance!
Therefore, Xianyang Palace at this time was more heavily guarded than ever!
The number of troops was even more numerous than in any previous year.
The original garrison troops plus the expeditionary force about to set out, combined, numbered nearly 50,000!
However... just when everyone was on high alert, suddenly, a spirited steed appeared within a hundred paces of Xianyang Palace!
And on the steed, a man, thin and gaunt, with a sickly face, a pointed nose, and a monkey-like face, appeared in front of everyone.
And he simply walked towards the direction of Xianyang Palace!
Because of the darkness, by the time people noticed him, he was already close to fifty paces from Xianyang Palace.
At that instant, the garrison troops on the city wall were startled and immediately started shouting:
“Who is down there? This is the forbidden area of the Qin Dynasty’s royal palace, no outsiders allowed!”
He shouted angrily.
At the same time, the Qin troops on the city wall had already drawn their bows and arrows, creating a deterrent.
However, Li Yuanba remained expressionless in the face of these formations.
He even gave his horse a gentle nudge.
Instantly, the Thousand Miles Smoke and Clouds responded to the pain and started galloping wildly!
Charging straight towards Xianyang City!
“Unauthorized intrusion into the royal palace grounds!”
“According to Qin law, treat as an enemy!”
“Fire arrows!”
“Shoot him down!”
At that moment, crossbow bolts fell like rain, swooshing through the air!
However, Li Yuanba, still on horseback, directly performed a famous scene!
He leaned forward, his two heavy hammers in both hands spun like electric fans!
Spinning so fast that water couldn't penetrate!
This was the famous scene!
Even water couldn't penetrate, let alone crossbow bolts?
From a distance of fifty paces, not only was he unharmed, but even his steed, the Thousand Miles Smoke and Clouds, didn’t suffer any harm at all!
In the blink of an eye, he reached the gate of Xianyang Palace!
Next, another famous scene took place!
Three strikes to break the city gate!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The power of the four quadrants was 40,000 jin of divine strength!
At that moment, 40,000 jin of divine strength erupted!
Three strikes of the hammers fell, and the city gate of Xianyang Palace crumbled!
And then, in front of tens of thousands of troops, he walked towards the interior of Xianyang Palace as if he were in no man's land!
