"Your Majesty, we can't break through! We've even lost three brothers!"
"Damn it, they outnumber you and you are all cavalry, but under this dense rain of arrows, you can't make the most of your cavalry!"
The First Emperor clenched his fists, his face filled with rage!
"How infuriating! There are so many villains outside my Xianyang city, right under the nose of the Emperor of Qin, at Hangu Pass! What kind of emperor have I been all these years? How incredibly foolish have I been?"
He was furious. Looking at the large rock blocking the cave entrance, which was already on the verge of collapse, he knew that the people inside the cave were about to be overwhelmed and would be slaughtered by these villains in a few moments.
"No, we can't just stand by and watch them crumble! I'll charge with you!"
"Ah? Your Majesty, you mustn't!"
"Your Majesty, you are of inestimable worth, how could we dare to cause you the slightest loss?"
They heard the First Emperor's order.
All the cavalrymen slid off their horses, knelt on the ground, and pleaded desperately.
"But I cannot stand by and watch Li Lin be killed by these people! All of you, rise! Those who follow me in this battle today, whether dead or alive, will all be appointed as captains of my Great Qin when I return!"
"His Majesty......"
"Your Majesty, you mustn't!"
"We would rather not have a captain than have Your Majesty suffer even the slightest mishap!"
"Get up! All of you, get up!"
His eyes were wide open as he looked at the group of soldiers who were reluctant to get up, and he was completely helpless.
He knew that these people were doing it for his own good.
But how long can the people inside this cave hold out?
"My lord, these cavalrymen are too troublesome. Why don't we silence them and leave no evidence?"
"Yes, we need to silence them, otherwise this framing act can't be staged! Alright, get them!"
"promise!"
Just as the First Emperor was urging them to charge into battle.
Suddenly, more than a hundred people split off from that group, riding warhorses, wearing armor similar to their own, and wielding long spears, and charged forward.
"Oh no! They're attacking!"
"Protect the Emperor!"
"Protect His Majesty!"
In an instant, the cavalrymen mounted their horses, and the two sides clashed.
"Your Majesty, let's go quickly! We don't have enough manpower, and their fighting strength is no less than our well-trained army!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, let's retreat first!"
"I feel humiliated. This is the most humiliating day in my thirty-four years as the ruler of Qin! Withdraw!"
"promise!"
The First Emperor's eyes widened. At this moment, faced with absolute power, no matter how angry he was, he could not change the facts before him.
There were more than thirty riders beside him.
Soon only seven or eight riders remained.
Everyone else had already died in front of him.
"Hey, you Qin soldiers, where do you think you're going? Since you're here, you're all staying here!"
"Quickly, protect His Majesty!"
"What are you trying to do? His Majesty is here! Are you planning to assassinate him?"
"What? Your Majesty?"
The leader suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the words "Your Majesty".
He quickly retreated.
Back beside the middle-aged man, she exclaimed, "Something's wrong! Something's wrong! It seems His Majesty is among the Qin army!"
"What? Your Majesty? How could Your Majesty be among the Qin army?"
The middle-aged man frowned, not believing his report at all.
He personally led a team of guards to the group of people who were surrounded.
Upon closer inspection of the crowd, one could see that the very imposing man had beads of sweat covering his entire forehead.
"It's you!"
"ah?"
"Liu Yu, it was you who led men to ambush Li Lin and even me! How dare you!"
"Ahhhh, Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
The middle-aged man panicked immediately. His true identity had been exposed by His Majesty. If he went back, wouldn't his entire family be exterminated by His Majesty?
"It was your negligence that Li Xiang was kidnapped by Xiang Yu. I should have executed you, but considering you have followed me for many years, I gave you three days. Is this how you repay me now? Huh? Liu Yu? All these years? Have I ever mistreated you? Why did you become such a villain?"
When the First Emperor saw Liu Yu, his hair stood on end.
He was truly furious.
"Your Majesty, I know that today's events are beyond redemption. If you and Prime Minister Li were to return alive, I, along with my family and friends, would certainly face certain death. Therefore, to protect myself, I have no choice but to commit regicide!"
"What? You!"
"Your Majesty, on this day next year, this humble servant will visit your imperial mausoleum to pay homage to you!"
Liu Yu, who had been extremely nervous, finally managed to calm down. He knew that if he released His Majesty, he would surely die upon returning home, and his entire family might be implicated and executed.
But now, if His Majesty dies.
There is no way to verify the truth since the dead are dead.
What is he afraid of?
Let's go all the way!
"Let's see who dares! I am the First Emperor of Qin, your sovereign and father. Do you dare to murder your sovereign?"
The First Emperor pushed aside the hand of the guard beside him and walked directly in front of the crowd.
He revealed his identity.
Instantly.
The soldiers, armed with sharp weapons, were all panicked. They looked at each other, bewildered and completely at a loss.
