"I'm glad you didn't lie to me." Wang Han glanced at Liu Bang and withdrew his murderous aura.
"Phew..." Without Wang Han's murderous aura, Liu Bang sat down on the ground and let out a long sigh. "I survived."
Seeing that Wang Han had finished speaking with Liu Bang, the man stepped forward and said to Wang Han, "This gentleman is truly skilled in swordsmanship. I am Meng Tian. May I ask your honorable name?"
"Wang Han," Wang Han replied, "I've run into some big shots today."
"This is your first time in Xianyang, sir. May I invite you to my residence for a gathering?" Meng Tian said, clasping his hands in greeting.
"Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?" Wang Han looked at Meng Tian and said, "Or do you want to invite me to your residence to find out my intentions first? If I have malicious intent, you can catch me like a turtle in a jar, or rather, you can surround and kill me, is that right?"
"Sir, you are quite witty." Upon hearing this, Meng Tian said with a smile, "I did mean that. After all, you were dressed strangely and tried to hide your identity, and you even used my Meng family's token at the city gate, which made me have to be careful and suspicious of your intentions. Of course, if not, I will apologize to you. I would like to be friends with you."
“Okay.” Wang Han nodded.
“Sir, you certainly have courage. Please,” Meng Tian said, and the group headed towards the Meng residence. For Meng Tian, it was naturally best if Wang Han could go to the Meng residence on his own, and Wang Han also wanted a quiet place to talk, which was the perfect place.
——————————————
As soon as Wang Han arrived at the Meng residence, he saw that it was heavily guarded, with soldiers standing guard every three steps and sentries every five steps, as well as a large number of archers. It was clear that Meng Tian had already arranged for people to return and prepare while Wang Han and his companions were walking back.
"Please show your true face, sir?" Meng Tian asked immediately upon entering the Meng residence, his hand resting on the sword at his waist.
The soldiers quickly grabbed their weapons and surrounded Wang Han, Guina, and Liu Bang, while the archers were also ready.
“Don’t be so nervous. If I had any ulterior motives, I wouldn’t have come here with you.” Wang Han said, taking off his black robe to reveal a full set of black armor and weapons at his waist.
Upon seeing Wang Han reveal his armor and weapons, the soldiers surrounding the three lowered their weapons, and only when Meng Tian gave the order did they immediately charge towards Wang Han.
"Didn't you want me to show my true face?" Wang Han said, taking off his armor and mask.
What a handsome young man! Looking at Wang Han's true face, Meng Tian couldn't help but admire him in his heart.
"Where is your hometown, sir? Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to Xianyang?" Suppressing his amazement, Meng Tian asked. He didn't immediately believe Wang Han. All's fair in war; this was a fundamental principle every general should know.
"Meng Tian, I heard that two peculiar people came to your residence today." Just then, a voice came from outside the gate of the Meng residence. A middle-aged man dressed in a black dragon robe walked into the courtyard under the protection of dozens of experts.
"Your Majesty." Upon seeing this, Meng Tian quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the identities of these three people have not yet been confirmed. Please be cautious."
"Hahaha..." Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng laughed and said, "My dear minister, you are too nervous. The three of them are now surrounded. There are over a thousand soldiers here, as well as many loyal Meng family generals. There is absolutely no way the three of them can hurt me."
"You are Ying Zheng?" Wang Han also looked at Ying Zheng.
“That’s right.” Ying Zheng looked at Wang Han and nodded. Wang Han’s strange behavior also piqued his curiosity. Not only did he conceal his identity, but he also stole the Meng family’s token. However, after being discovered by the Meng family, he still dared to come to the Meng residence despite his obvious demeanor. He had come to see for himself out of curiosity after hearing this news.
"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you, nor towards the Qin Dynasty." Wang Han suddenly appeared in front of Ying Zheng. "I'm just passing through Xianyang."
"Your Majesty!" Upon seeing this, Meng Tian exclaimed in surprise. Although he did not know how Wang Han had suddenly arrived, he immediately stood in front of Ying Zheng, drew his sword from his waist, and stabbed at Wang Han. The guards behind Ying Zheng also quickly drew their weapons and stepped forward to block him.
Wang Han reached out and grasped Meng Tian's sword. With a slight squeeze of his fingers, he broke the precious sword in two. He then stepped back and returned to Gu Yina's side.
"It's over, it's over." Liu Bang's legs trembled slightly. This person really was here to assassinate Qin Shi Huang.
"Kill." Seeing Wang Han back in the encirclement, Meng Tian dared not hesitate for a moment, and no longer cared about Wang Han's purpose. He immediately ordered the soldiers surrounding Wang Han. Wang Han had already become a threat to His Majesty's safety, and he dared not be careless in the slightest.
"Stop!" Ying Zheng shouted immediately upon seeing this. Unfortunately, it was too late; the archers who were already prepared had already fired arrows at Wang Han.
"Clang clang clang clang..." This time, Wang Han did not make a move. Guina stepped forward, drew her Miao sword, and with one hand she swung the sword and the other sheath, blocking all the arrows amidst the dazzling flashes of light.
"Kuina, your swordsmanship has improved quite a bit," Wang Han couldn't help but praise. There were just over a hundred arrows. Although their speed is far less than bullets and their length makes them easier to block, it's still quite impressive that Kuina could block over a hundred arrows in a second or two.
"Stop, everyone!" Ying Zheng shouted again when he saw that all the arrows aimed at Wang Han had been blocked.
"Your Majesty, they are in great danger," Meng Tian said anxiously, but he dared not leave Ying Zheng's side for even a moment, nor did he dare to look away from Wang Han.
“Alright, he meant no harm, otherwise he would have killed me just now. If he had the chance to kill me but didn’t, then he’s not an enemy.” Ying Zheng waved his hand to stop Meng Tian and ordered the soldiers and guards behind him, “You may all step back.”
