Chapter 32 The Wall is Broken
"If Xiang Yu dares to oppress us as a noble of the Chu Kingdom, I will fight him tooth and nail." Fan Kuai cursed. As a folk hero, he hated those princes and nobles the most.
Zhang Liang silently sent Ziying's carriage team out of sight, his heart already in a mess.
Not only because he was worried about Liu Bang, but also about his future fate in Hancheng.
Next to Xiang Yu was King Cheng of Han, who had been crowned king, and next to Liu Bang was Han Xin, both of whom were from the Hancheng royal family.
If he helps Han Wang Cheng, Zhang Liang would be in Xiang Yu's camp, but Zhang Liang doesn't like the violent Xiang Yu.
However, Han Xin did not have the title of king, and he was too close to Liu Bang, so there was absolutely no possibility of him becoming king.
Hancheng was the first to be destroyed when the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms. It was located in a place of four wars and could only rely on powerful countries. It was exactly the same situation as it is today.
"Mr. Zifang, why are you sighing? Don't worry, no one can touch Liu Ji with me here." Fan Kuai didn't know Zhang Liang's inner thoughts.
"Yes." Zhang Liang said with a smile, "The person who should sigh the most now should be the one at the foot of the mountain."
Ziying's carriage slowly and slowly arrived not far from the simple Xianyang City Gate, where Zhao Gao's head was still hanging.
"Zhao Aiqing will take off Zhao Gao's head tomorrow." Ziying said to Zhao Cheng's carriage.
Zhao Cheng in the carriage was silent for a moment, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ziying lowered the curtain and let out a breath. He really wanted to crush Zhao Gao to ashes, but the city wall would be rebuilt in a few days, so he might as well sell a favor to Zhao Cheng.
Ziying's carriage actually entered the city gate, and suddenly there was a deafening roar. Ziying could feel the vibration of the ground in the carriage.
what's the situation?
earthquake?
"Your Majesty, be careful!" The servant turned his horse's head sharply and backed away. The guards all lined up to protect the stroller.
The ministers hurriedly opened the curtain and were all stunned.
The city wall, which was still intact in the morning, was knocked to the ground together with the city gate below, and the rubble of the city wall had already splashed beside the baby carriage.
The city wall fell down.
The wall of the capital has fallen!
The capital is the symbol of the country. If the wall falls, it means the country will fall.
Caiwei stared blankly at the broken city wall. This was her dream, but at this moment she felt no joy at all.
Ziying gritted his teeth in hatred. He had to break the city wall sooner or later, but he fell in front of all the civil and military officials and almost smashed him under the wall.
"Your Majesty, this..." Han Tan, who had always been calm, also looked panicked.
The ancients believed too much in these symbolic things. King Xiaocheng of the State of Zhao dreamed that he was wearing clothes of two colors and flew into the air and fell. The fortune teller of the State of Zhao told King Xiaocheng that wearing clothes of two colors represented the dilapidation of the country.
If it falls from the sky, the country will be in danger.
Not long after, King Zhao Xiaocheng and the State of Qin fought for Shangdang in Hancheng. The battle was called the Battle of Changping.
Zhao State encountered Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an of Qin State, and the entire army of 400,000 was annihilated. Zhao State, which had the strongest military power among the six countries, was in ruins.
"Your Majesty, let's spare the way and return to the city." Han Tan's voice was trembling.
Zhao Cheng on the side looked blankly at the city wall. Zhao Gao's head should have been crushed under it.
Ziying forced himself to calm down and not let anything happen inside the newly stable court.
"Hahahaha." Ziying got out of the car, "It fell well. This is a good sign from heaven."
Ziying's legs were already trembling, but on the surface she was still looking at the fallen city wall leisurely.
The ministers looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what Ziying meant.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?" Han Tan was also confused, but knew that he must cooperate with Ziying at this moment.
"Han Aiqing asked a good question." Ziying raised his voice, "First of all, the Qin Dynasty has been weakened by the treacherous minister Zhao Gao. Today, the city wall of the Qin Dynasty smashed Zhao Gao's head into pieces, which is the anger of the ancestors' spirits in the sky towards Zhao Gao."
Ziying glanced at the ministers, and the ministers' faces softened slightly.
Ziying looked at the ministers and asked, "Secondly, Great Qin is as shabby as this city wall. It collapsed today. Do you dear friends know what it means?"
"I don't know." Zhao Cheng said for the Prime Minister.
"The old city wall of Da Qin has been destroyed, and the new city wall must be erected! It won't take long before Da Qin will be able to regain its former glory." Ziying said loudly.
Han Tan did not dare to wipe the sweat off his face, "My king will be able to eradicate the powerful Zhao Gao within a month of taking the throne. The death of the rebels outside the customs is just around the corner."
Zhao Cheng also took a step forward, "What the king and Lang Zhongling said is very true. Yesterday, my brother had a dream and the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty scolded him under Jiuquan, 'If Ziying hadn't been virtuous, the Qin Dynasty would have been destroyed by your hands.' It seems that
That’s what I’m talking about tonight.”
Ziying and Zhao Cheng looked at each other, and they knew clearly that all dreams were fake. As Zhao Gao's younger brother, Zhao Cheng could say such things to make the minister believe it even more.
The ministers were thoughtful, fell to the ground and shouted, "The king has been king for ten thousand years! The Qin Dynasty has been ten thousand years!"
On the carriage, Caiwei's eyes suddenly widened. It turned out that the person next to Ziying was Zhao Cheng, who killed Gai Nie.
Ziying breathed a long sigh of relief, finally getting over this matter, otherwise all the work of appeasing the minister these past few days would have been in vain.
"Get up, it's been a busy day, all dear friends, please go back to your homes." Ziying was afraid that these people would have other ideas.
Ziying's carriage was originally in front, but after taking a detour, it ended up being the last one.
The ministers left one after another, and a gloomy voice came from the darkness.
"Prince Qin, this wall has collapsed, don't you think you need to find someone to help you rebuild it?"
"Who?" The guards were startled. Ling Fen, who was dressed in black, looked at Zi Ying with his hands behind his back and smiled. Due to their alertness, they did not notice Ling Fen's approach.
"You're here, Mo family giant." Ziying turned around and sneered, "I seemed to have said yesterday that I would definitely kill you. How dare you come up to me today?"
Caiwei on the side said angrily, "Zi Ying, my master is kind enough to help you, don't go too far!"
"Good intentions?" Ziying was very disdainful, "He is a Mohist giant who walks among the princes, but your martial arts are so bad that you hide them from your disciples. How can anyone count on his kindness?"
"Caiwei's martial arts were taught by Gai Nie. I only taught her the tenets of the Mohist school." Lingfen explained, "Gai Nie is resentful. It's a good thing that Caiwei can't learn from him."
The guard soldiers slowly approached Ling Fen with their halberds in hand. Ling Fen remained motionless with a calm expression, "They are not my opponents. King Qin needs my help the most right now."
Ziying hates the feeling of being controlled by others. "What you mean is that we can't build this wall without you."
"I dare not, King Qin can regard this as a greeting gift for me."
The guard's halberd was already within one step of Lingfen. Lingfen's hands were empty and he waved lightly in the air. The two guard's halberds were snatched away by Lingfen.
The Lingfen halberd was swept away, and the guards retreated in a hurry.
"Hit!" Ling Fen shouted softly, and fired two halberds at the city wall that had not yet collapsed.
Almost at the same moment, the two halberds were completely submerged in the city wall.
"Is this the strength of a giant? Zhao can also do it at this level." Zhao Cheng was aroused and said with disdain, "The ability to escape from the wooden house is better."
Boom——!
After a loud noise, the intact city wall was instantly disintegrated after two halberds were nailed into it, collapsing into a pile of rubble.
Chapter completed!
