A stabbing attempt dramatically turned into a brawl.
Even if the assassin had extraordinary martial arts skills, he could not withstand the attack of hundreds or even thousands of people.
A dozen civilians surrounded an assassin and punched and kicked him. Even though they didn't know any of the moves, they knew where to hit the weak spots.
Buttonholes, kicks in the crotch, hair pulling, neck strangulation... almost all the rogue tricks were used. The assassins curled up on the ground with their heads in their hands, crying and begging for mercy.
Such a funny scene made Chu Yue's eyes wet and her nose felt sour.
She never thought that the unarmed people would risk their lives to protect them. They didn't need to do so...
When Zizi saw the bad guys being knocked down, he was no longer afraid. He crawled out of his mother's arms and clapped his hands excitedly to cheer on the people.
"Beat the bad guys, beat the bad guys! Come on!"
The childish voice was particularly prominent. Although the people did not understand the new words, they knew that the little prince was encouraging them.
As a result, everyone looked like they were injected with chicken blood, their faces flushed, and the strength in their hands became stronger and stronger.
In less than a cup of tea, the black-clad assassins in the rear were all suppressed and had no power to fight back.
Ying Zheng looked at the brave and fearless people with an expression of great surprise and a little bewilderment.
At this moment, he suddenly understood what Yue Ning said last night.
You care about the people, and the people hold you high.
Suddenly, the icy coldness in Ying Zheng's phoenix eyes melted quietly, turning into warm and bright waves, and a gentle smile appeared on his stern face.
These are the people of Daqin... These are his subjects...
After everything calmed down, all the assassins were tied up like dumplings and taken back by the Black Ice Guards for torture.
After the great victory, the people all smiled with joy.
Ying Zheng raised the Emperor's Sword and looked around at his people with a stern face and a low and solemn voice.
"Everyone has done a great job today. You are all good men of our Great Qin!"
"I promise you all that I will never allow such villains to destroy our peaceful and prosperous times!"
The people were flattered by the praise and promises from His Majesty the First Emperor.
But soon their hearts surged, their simple faces flushed with excitement, and they responded to their monarch enthusiastically.
"Long live His Majesty!"
"Long live His Majesty!"
"Long live His Majesty!"
“…”
There is no longer the panic and fear of the past. This time, the people sincerely support and love the people. The light in their eyes is sincere and moving.
Ying Zheng and Chu Yuening smiled at each other, golden light falling into their eyes, creating ripples.
Everything they have done and the hard work they have put in are worth it.
At this time, Zhao Gao, still frightened, came forward to persuade him.
"Your Majesty, this place is dangerous. We don't know if there are other assassins. Why don't you return to the palace first?"
"No, how can I betray the people? The parade continues!"
Ying Zheng sheathed the Emperor's Sword, glanced at the people who were full of hope, and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.
Chu Yuening on the side also nodded in support, with a firm look between her brows. Even Ying Zhao puffed up his little face and agreed seriously.
"Keep going! Zhao Zhao isn't afraid!"
There was determination and fearlessness in the childish little voice, and Zhao Gao couldn't help but look ashamed.
But Ying Zheng laughed heartily when he heard this, sat down with the kid in his arms, and waved to Zhao Gao to signal him to continue moving forward.
"The parade continues!"
The people, who had originally thought that this parade would have no beginning or end, suddenly cheered and excitedly followed the dancing dragon lantern.
Only some lightly injured civilians were left, staring at the scene with helpless eyes. They were forced to accept treatment from the imperial physician, and students from the medical school also volunteered to help.
The dark golden dragon lantern meandered and swam, following the emperor in patrolling every inch of the capital, demonstrating its holiness and majesty, and protecting the Qin Dynasty and its people.
When the parade ended, it was already the end of the Xu hour. The bright moon had already disappeared into the thick dark clouds, leaving only a small crescent moon.
What happened tonight was thrilling and exciting. Although the people of Xianyang were physically exhausted, they were still excited.
They returned in twos and threes, sometimes praising His Majesty's wisdom and bravery, sometimes showing off their own bravery...
On the other side, Chu Yuening also returned to Qinian Palace with Ying Zheng. She kissed the sleeping face of the baby and handed him to his aunt.
Ying Zheng took off his crown and leaned lazily on the sofa. The smile on his face faded, and the coldness in his phoenix eyes froze again.
The purpose of these assassins tonight is self-evident. They simply want to take advantage of the chaos to kill them.
If the plan succeeds, the court will be in chaos, and they will have the opportunity to stir up trouble and seize power.
"It's really... damn it."
Ying Zheng murmured softly, the murderous intent surrounding him almost solidifying into something solid. He had already roughly guessed the mastermind behind this assassination...
Sensing the man's anger, Chu Yuening sat over worriedly, held his big hand and comforted him softly.
"A Zheng, as long as everything is fine."
"Yuening, I'm too kind...that's why they dare to push their limits and become so greedy..."
"Wanting my throne... oh, what wishful thinking!"
The last sentence seemed to be mocking the overconfident mastermind behind the scenes, and there seemed to be a red flame burning in Ying Zheng's eyes.
He would never allow anyone to destroy his great cause, nor would he allow anyone to harm his moon...
Since you dare to stretch out your restless claws, you must be prepared to be chopped off.
The man's aura was becoming increasingly dangerous, carrying with it a rage that could destroy the heavens and earth. It seemed no exaggeration to say that the emperor's wrath would leave millions dead...
Chu Yuening looked at the somewhat unfamiliar A Zheng in a daze, but she was not afraid because she knew that A Zheng would never hurt her.
Just when the atmosphere in the hall was tense, a Black Ice Guard came in to report.
"Your Majesty, the torture has revealed that the assassination tonight was carried out by the remnants of the Qi State."
"The crime of regicide will be punished along with the entire clan. You will be executed tomorrow."
Ying Zheng looked indifferent as he casually sentenced thousands of people to death. The emperor's ruthlessness and decisiveness in killing were fully revealed at this moment.
He wanted to eradicate the problem completely and prevent future troubles, even if it meant killing countless innocent people.
The Black Ice Guard was not surprised by His Majesty's decision and respectfully accepted the order and prepared to withdraw.
"etc."
Chu Yuening suddenly spoke out to stop him, with a serious look on her face.
She had no good feelings towards this group of greedy nobles from the six countries. The winner takes all, and it was extremely merciful of A Zheng to let them go.
Not only were palaces built for them to live in, but they were also given subsidies, allowing them to live a rich and worry-free life.
But human nature is always greedy. The nobles of the six countries who lost their freedom and privileges became dissatisfied and might even revolt and start a war in the future.
And now he assassinated them in public...
Ying Zheng thought the woman was going to plead for them, so he frowned, but his tone subconsciously softened.
"Yuening, their deaths are not worth it."
Chu Yuening shook her head, her starry eyes gleaming with wisdom.
"No, A Zheng, I have a better solution."
