From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 129: The Blood Jade of the Nation; Who Wants to Fight Me?
The sudden noise startled every household in Xianyang. Regardless of their dishevelled appearance when they just woke up, they all opened the windows and leaned out to look.

"What's going on? What do you mean by clearing the court of evildoers?"

"It's the Queen Mother Huayang! What did that person just say about killing loyal ministers..."

"My God, I must be crazy."

……

Everyone was so shocked that most of them still thought they were dreaming.

Thanks to the strength of the Qin Dynasty, Xianyang has not seen unrest for hundreds of years. The peace has lasted so long that everyone has ignored the current war-torn world in China.

No one could have imagined that war would break out in Xianyang one day!
Clang clang!
Suddenly, a large number of well-armored soldiers emerged from the streets and rushed towards the palace like a tide, scaring the people so much that they quickly closed their doors and windows.

At the same time, at the main gate of the Qin Palace, two groups of people were in a tense standoff.

One group was the palace guards with swords, and the other group was the private army flying the flag of the Lu Mansion.

"I am the Prime Minister's special envoy. Today, I am ordered by the Prime Minister to arrest the traitor Huayang Mi! Get out of the way!"

Lao Ai stood in the front, suddenly raised the golden token, and looked at the palace guards in front of him with a grim smile.

"The Prime Minister is the regent! The Prime Minister's orders are like the King's orders. Are you going to disobey and betray the Qin Dynasty?!"

The palace guards frowned and had to show hesitation in front of the prime minister. After looking at each other, they had to put away their weapons.

"Humph! I don't think you have the guts!"

"People like this who are pedantic and stick to the rules must be forced by the rules. No wonder the Prime Minister had to wait until he had the power of regent before taking action. This is much easier than a violent attack!"

"Once we capture Huayang and destroy her power, the next target of the Prime Minister will be the Eight Points."

"Those three old guys are in seclusion recovering from their injuries, and Wang Jian and Meng Tian are out of town. Haha, it's time for a change in the Qin Dynasty."

Lao Ai was sarcastic and mocking in his heart, so he immediately withdrew his orders, drew his sword and held it high, and then the hundreds of retainers and swordsmen behind him came in together.

"We will only arrest Huayang Mi, and all the rest of you must get out of the way!"

As he spoke, the guests had already walked into the ramp inside the wall.

boom!
However, at this moment, a dull loud noise instantly startled Lao Ai. He turned back subconsciously, only to find that the main door had been tightly closed!

"What are you doing!"

He was suddenly startled and quickly realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.

swoosh swish~
Arrows from the sky poured down like a rainstorm, and the shadows they created enveloped all the guests. Some people who were caught off guard were instantly pierced through.

"kill!"

There was a sudden deafening cry of killing in front and behind the ramp. The appearance of the Fire Armor Army, which had been dormant for a long time, made all the guests gasp.

"There's an ambush! Retreat! Retreat!"

Lao Ai yelled hysterically, and his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the young man in red armor on the jade pillar in the distance.

Wu Fengdeng!
How come he is here?
Lao Ai's heart was filled with shock and he even stood there in a daze, his eyes full of disbelief.

"This guy was able to deploy troops in the palace in advance, he must have known the Prime Minister's plan!"

"Damn it, who leaked the news? Such a meticulous plan should not be discovered."

call!
Wu Fengdeng would not give him time to react. He leaped into the air, and the sun-covering spear emerged and smashed down with a bang!
Lao Ai was well aware of Wu Fengdeng's power, so he dodged in panic and then rushed out in a hurry.

But at this time, the palace guards had already blocked the gate, and their spears and lances occupied most of the space in the narrow ramp, forcing the guests to stay away.

puff!
Just because of this delay, Lao Ai was instantly slashed on the back by Yanri, and the powerful force pinned him to the wall.

Wu Fengdeng's eyes were filled with murderous intent, which made Lao Ai finally realize the fear of death. He coughed up blood and said, "Wu Fengdeng! You can't kill me. I am acting on the orders of the Regent!"

"If you kill me, you will be the enemy of the Regent and the entire Qin! If you withdraw your troops now before a disaster occurs, I will pretend that nothing happened."

Seeing that he still held on to hope, Wu Fengdeng said coldly: "Lao Ai, when will you wake up from your Spring and Autumn dream?"

"It is already my mercy to let you die."

After he finished speaking, the spear rushed out fiercely. In panic, Lao Ai wanted to raise his sword to block it, but he could not withstand the sharp edge of Yanri at all. In an instant, both the sword and the man were pierced through.

Wu Fengdeng heaved a long sigh of relief, having finally gotten rid of Lao Ai, the unstable factor, and immediately swung his spear to splash blood.

"Those who kneel down and surrender will not be killed!"

The clear voice echoed in the ramp. Seeing that there was no hope of survival, the remaining guests were worried about where to go. Upon hearing the voice, they immediately put down their weapons and knelt down.

Wu Fengdeng's eyes were stern: "Behead."

"Here!"

The Fire Armor Soldiers who had been prepared immediately raised their swords and chopped down. Those on the doors had horrified expressions on their faces and before they could recover their senses, their heads fell to the ground one after another, and large pools of blood spread out.

Xu Ran, who had just rushed back from Empress Dowager Huayang's bedroom, saw this scene. His two narrow eyes, sunken deep in the cleft of flesh, flashed with brilliance.

The young general in front of him used the trick so naturally without making any expression. He was a ruthless person at such a young age. Even he couldn't help but show his approval.

"General Wu, just leave it to us. We palace guards are not here to eat for nothing."

Xu Ran twisted his fingers like an orchid, and a strange and cold aura gradually brewed.

Wu Fengdeng nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, eunuch. Lü Buwei is now the regent and prime minister. He has replaced all the barracks near Xianyang with his own people. Only the Royal Palace Fire Armor Army is still there. General Guo and I have more than 5,000 men in total."

"We just need to stay in the palace and wait for reinforcements from surrounding states and counties."

"Okay, we understand."

"The seniors in the palace who are in the Qi-hiding realm, they..."

"Don't worry, we are ready. There are only a few people in the Qi Storage Realm on Lu Buwei's side. Even if there are a few more from Zhao, we old guys can handle it."

"Well, I'll take my leave, young general."

Wu Fengdeng said no more and led the three battalions of Chen, Si and Wu to the east gate. On the way, he entered a state of [concentration] and sorted out the causes and consequences of the matter.

"The root cause of this rebellion is that Lü Buwei's ambitions were not satisfied, or in other words, the conflict between the Zhao forces he represented and the Chu forces behind the Queen Mother Huayang intensified."

"The two political forces were fighting overtly and covertly, and Lü Buwei was at a disadvantage. He wanted to use the relationship between Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng to continue to expand his influence, but he didn't expect that Ying Zheng was not the puppet emperor he imagined and could not satisfy Lü Buwei's political ambitions."

"So he took advantage of the fact that Ying Zheng was away in Yingchuan County and he was acting as regent, and planned to use his power to get rid of the Queen Mother Huayang in one fell swoop. Those assassins last night were nothing more than a drama directed and acted by him."

"Now most of the officials in the court are leaning towards him, and with the help of Zhao State, it is difficult for Queen Dowager Huayang to resist. If it weren't for the advance deployment of our Fire Armor Army, these palace guards alone would not be enough."

"But there is still a doubt. If Lü Buwei attacked the palace with such fanfare just to get rid of Queen Mother Huayang, it would be a bit of an exaggeration. He must have other reasons."

"Perhaps it is the secret of the Qin royal family? The Queen Mother Huayang did not mention the secret of getting someone who can replace the king and become the new king. She must know something."

"Forget it. No matter what it is, we just need to keep them all out. The most important thing now is not here, but Ying Zheng's side. I think that old guy Lu Buwei will definitely do something."

"I wish he had been prepared."

……

Yingchuan County, Xinzheng.

The former palace of the King of Han has been converted into a temporary residence. Sixteen dragon-carved beams and pillars stand on the high hall. The light was dim in the early morning, making the shadows of the two people blurry.

Ying Zheng sat on the throne, his left hand resting on his chin, his eyes indifferent. On the table in front of him was a square piece of paper, which was empty. Han Fei stood at the bottom of the steps, holding a memorial in his hand.

"…In order to protect the orthodoxy of the Great Qin from falling into the hands of others, I have no choice but to offend the king and send troops into the palace to help the king eliminate the traitors. All these sins are borne by me alone. When the king returns, I will respectfully wait for your punishment."

Han Fei finished his thought slowly, then closed it, with a slight smile on his handsome face.

"Your Majesty, he can't help it."

"Hehehe."

Ying Zheng lowered his head and laughed a few times. His young face was filled with deep scheming. He smiled dangerously and said, "You are so resourceful. I was worried that I couldn't find a reason to prosecute Lu Buwei before, but now he can't hold back."

Although he was only seventeen years old, he had suffered a lot since childhood and his determination was no longer comparable to that of ordinary people. He naturally understood the purpose of Lu Buwei's efforts to support him to ascend to the throne.

He simply wanted to make himself a puppet monarch so that he could hold all the power. However, due to his power in the court and his willingness to remain dormant and tolerant, Ying Zheng had never been able to find a way to regain power.

It happened that Han Fei entered Qin as an official and offered advice, which was: when the moon is full, it overflows; when power is full, one becomes mad; when madness leads to loss of wisdom, one must deal with it according to the law.

That was why he delegated power to Lu Buwei under the pretext of offering sacrifices to heaven in Yingchuan County, giving him the opportunity to rebel. And when the situation really developed in that way, he could not help but take action after just a few days.

Han Fei said with his hands behind his back: "Not only him, but also the nobles of Chu State headed by Queen Mother Huayang, will also be destroyed this time. In the future, only the Ying family can hold the power in the court."

"That's exactly what I meant. How can the great Qin Dynasty allow other countries to interfere? This time, I want to completely eradicate these cancers!"

Ying Zheng slowly sat up straight, his eyes fierce, and he stretched out his hand across the table. The blank piece of paper that Wu Fengdeng had handed over flew into Han Fei's hands, who put it away and stood aside.

"Call Li Si."

"Call Li Si into the palace!"

There was a loud shout outside the house, and a middle-aged man in a blue robe strode in, knelt respectfully, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your servant Li Si is here to see you!"

"Is there any movement in the direction of Xianyang?"

"Your Majesty, the spies just reported that many additional troops have been added to the counties along the way. They are all soldiers of our Great Qin. They are the guards arranged by the Prime Minister to escort Your Majesty back to Xianyang."

Ying Zheng's face was frighteningly gloomy, and he said coldly: "Pass on my order, the heaven sacrifice process is over, return to Xianyang immediately."

"Yes!"

Li Si took the order and stood up. He bowed slightly to Han Fei beside him and then walked out of the hall.

"Fei, let's go. Don't let Brother Wu hold on for too long."

"it is good!"

Xianyang.

Tens of thousands of elite soldiers have surrounded the palace, the edges of swords are gleaming coldly, and the atmosphere is tense.

"Palace guards and firearms, listen up!"

A man in front of the main gate gathered all his energy and shouted loudly, "It is the will of heaven and the king that the Prime Minister was ordered to eliminate the traitors! I have already asked the king for instructions!"

"If you continue to resist, we will regard you as Huayang's accomplice! According to the law, all nine generations of your clan will be executed!"

"Put down your weapons now and retreat outside the palace. The Prime Minister may not pursue you. Otherwise, when the King comes, he will definitely kill you..."

call out!
Before he could finish his words, an arrow from the palace came at lightning speed and accurately pierced the back of his mouth.

puff~
As the blood spread, he was violently knocked back ten meters, falling in front of Lu Fu's private army, sobbing and twitching.

Seeing this, Lu Buwei on his horse became extremely gloomy, and Wu Fengdeng's proud figure gradually reflected in his dark eyes.

His long beard fluttered, and his dry hand drew the sword vigorously.

"kill!"

Nearly a thousand swordsmen and followers behind him suddenly rushed out as if they were injected with chicken blood, leading a large number of private armies to rush towards the palace.

Amid the roar of the wind, a hunched black shadow appeared silently beside Lu Buwei.

"Brother Lu, it's time to take action."

"Those three old guys are in seclusion and the seal has not been broken. This is the perfect opportunity for us to steal the blood jade. You can't shrink back at this last moment."

Lu Buwei glanced at him and said coldly: "Ying Zheng has not been captured yet. If you go in now, you will only seek death."

"If you succeed, you will be famous for eternity. If you fail, you will die in your old age. Haha, it's worth a gamble."

"Well, go ahead and gamble."

Lu Buwei looked back with disdain, feeling extremely annoyed with this ally who was so eager to commit suicide.

But no matter what, it has come to this point, and he has no way to retreat. He immediately flew out with the sword, followed by three hidden auras around him.

The war has begun!

The thousand-year-old Xianyang and the century-old royal palace witnessed such a tragic blood baptism for the first time.

Outside the East Gate.

The fire armor army lined up in neat rows, and the cold light flashed like a sea.

"The Prime Minister has issued an order! Anyone who captures Wu Fengdeng alive will be rewarded with a ten thousand gold coins and be granted the title of Marquis of Qianhu!"

"Anyone who brings his head to me will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"

"Destroy the Fire Armor Army and capture Wu Fengdeng alive!"

"Destroy the Fire Armor Army and capture Wu Fengdeng alive!"

The private army of the Lu Mansion came roaring ferociously, with fire in their eyes and veins exposed, staring at the red-armored figure standing at the door.

Before the battle, Lu Buwei had personally said that the two people captured alive were Queen Mother Huayang Mi and Wu Fengdeng, and the reward was extremely generous.

The Queen Mother Huayang cannot be relied upon for the time being, but Wu Fengdeng is standing in front of the door alive!
Even if he has combat power beyond the realm, even if he has a fire armor army, so what? Our own troops are more than ten times theirs, and we can crush him to death with human wave tactics!

Promotion and wealth are just around the corner!

Faced with such a large crowd, Wu Fengdeng did not panic at all. He drew his sword and raised it high: "These are just a bunch of random soldiers. There is nothing to be afraid of!"

"Formation, half moon square!"

"wind!"

"wind!"

"wind!"

"Gale!"

The Fire Armor Army quickly changed their formation. As they were well-trained, they were already familiar with their respective positions and had completed the formation in an instant.

Wu Fengdeng summoned the Sun-Breaking Spear and leaped out of the formation. Dark red blood flowed around the spear, and the ferocious wolf head seemed alive, obscuring the round sun.

Bang!
A heavy blow from the Golden Phoenix Wing smashed the front row of the enemy into a meat paste, and the blood and flesh were smeared on the faces of the people around them, and the scene in front of them suddenly became clear.

"Who wants to fight me?"
