Ying Xi frowned and scolded, "What's the rush?"

The servant, no longer caring about Ying Xi's accusations, knelt down with a thud and cried out, "Madam... Madam has committed suicide!"

Ying Xi jumped up from his chair, asking incredulously, "What nonsense are you talking about? Madam was perfectly fine this morning."

"Master, it's Lao Ai! Lao Ai and Madam's carriage collided in the street, and that beast went berserk and... defiled Madam!"

"The lady, unable to bear the humiliation, committed suicide in a fit of anger!"

The servant fell to the ground, and Ying Xi was instantly struck as if by lightning. He immediately took three steps back, and Lu Li quickly stood up and helped Ying Xi up.

"Lao Ai!!! Today, I will kill you!"

"Someone, bring me my armor!"

Ying Xi has gone berserk. It should be noted that before Ying Zichu succeeded as King of Qin, Ying Xi was known for his bravery and martial prowess, which was unmatched in the army.

After becoming the patriarch of the Ying clan, he rarely took action anymore.

"Clan Chief Ying, it would be best to set aside your rage for now and find out the truth first," Lu Li quickly advised.

Even he was shocked this time. How dare Lao Ai do this? This is just too damn arrogant!

He dared to defile the wife of the Ying clan chief? Even Ying Zheng would have to respectfully address her as "Clan Chief's Wife."

This Lao Ai has really gotten too big for his britches.

"Sir, Lao Ai deceived my Ying clan and humiliated my wife. I swear I will not be a man if I do not avenge this!"

As he spoke, the servants brought out Ying Xi's armor. With a single command from Ying Xi, a thousand members of the Ying clan were summoned in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

They were fully armed and were looking for revenge against Lao Ai.

Lady Ying was humiliated, which shows that the entire Ying clan is not respected. Moreover, these members of the Ying clan have long hated Lao Ai to the core.

This time, we absolutely cannot let him get away with it.

"Where is Lao Ai now?" Ying Xi asked angrily.

"Chief, that beast has escaped back to Yongcheng!" the servant replied.

Ying Xi snorted coldly and shouted angrily, "Gentlemen, do you dare to follow me to Yongcheng to kill Lao Ai?"

"We are willing to go! We are willing to go!"

Upon hearing that Lao Ai had returned to Yongcheng, Lu Li immediately stepped forward and said, "Clan Chief Ying, I still want to offer you some advice."

"The Empress Dowager lives in Yongcheng. If you lead your private army there to kill her, Lao Ai can use the charge of treason to execute you on the spot!"

It is common knowledge that Qin law was ruthless, a legacy of Shang Yang's reforms, and Legalism was the foundation of the Qin state.

Ying Xi finally realized what was happening, but he couldn't stay calm any longer.

"Even if it means betraying my country, I will still kill Lao Ai!"

At this point, he was completely blinded by hatred and no longer considered the consequences.

“Lao Ai has three thousand retainers, all of whom are at least sixth-level martial artists. Aren’t you sending your thousand men to their deaths?” Lu Li continued to persuade him.

After all, the deed was already done. If Ying Xi had died in Yongcheng, it would have been a fatal blow to Ying Zheng.

Unexpectedly, Ying Xi drew his longsword, pointed it at the sky, and roared at the more than one thousand members of the Ying clan: "Brothers, tell him what the Qin people are!"

More than a thousand members of the Ying clan actually shouted in unison.

"The valiant Qin people, united in the face of national crisis. We will not return until our blood is shed!"

The sound poured out like a tidal wave. This was also the first time Lu Li had directly witnessed the Qin people's fervor; he had seen this very phrase countless times in later television dramas.

This time, he truly understood what the Qin people were like and why the Qin state was known as a fierce and powerful army.

It was an invincible aura, an aura that said, "Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, we must still brave them."

"The Qin people are incredibly brave and fierce; Lu Li has truly witnessed their prowess today!"

After saying that, Lu Li sincerely cupped his hands in greeting to Ying Xi.

Although he was also infected, Lu Li was still conscious at this moment, and he had to stop Ying Xi!

"Clan Chief Ying, even in death, one must die with value, one must die for a worthy cause!"

"If you rush over like this, not only will you fail to kill Lao Ai, but you will also cause the destruction of the Ying clan!"

"By then, will you be able to face the ancestors of Qin? Will you be able to face the current King of Qin?"

Lu Li's few words silenced Ying Xi.

He knew Lu Li was right. He couldn't lead the entire Ying clan to their deaths; the Qin state belonged to the Ying clan!

If the Ying clan perishes, the Qin state will cease to exist, and he will become a sinner!

After all, all the ancestors of the Ying clan believed in unifying the world.

"Chief! Don't listen to his nonsense! Just give the order, and we will brave fire and water to raze Yongcheng to the ground!"

"Yes, Chieftain! We've yielded for so long, but Lao Ai has gone too far. We can't tolerate this any longer!"

Some radical members of the Ying clan all knelt on the ground and asked Ying Xi to fight!

Ying Xi really listened to Lu Li's words, and even though he was very angry, he managed to suppress his anger.

"Let's call it a day..."

Ying Xi waved his hand, about to dismiss the crowd, and the members of the Ying clan all looked at Ying Xi in disbelief.

This is an utter disgrace! How can we just let it go like this?

"Chieftain!"

"I said! Scatter!!!" Ying Xi roared, and the clansmen all gritted their teeth and retreated unwillingly.

"Seal off the clan! If even one member dares to leave Xianyang City, he/she shall be expelled and never allowed to enter the ancestral temple again!"

"Here you go!"

After seeing that his people had all retreated, Ying Xi staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry you had to see this." Ying Xi said weakly.
