Chapter 156: The attack of Shen Xi’s army, the overlord of the world, the First Emperor has passed away, and I shall take his place!
Because the last will and testament of Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng came to light, Ying Xuan was officially vindicated and his throne was established.

The three dukes and nine ministers in Xianyang City began to prepare for the coronation ceremony for Ying Xuan.

At that time, the vassal states and ministerial countries in all directions would send envoys into the city to offer tribute to Ying Xuan.

When Ying Xuan was still in Xianyang City, he saw this tribute list, and the Buddhist Kingdom of Canaan was on it.

“In reply to your Majesty, when the late emperor was still alive, he sent troops to conquer the Buddhist Kingdom of Canaan and finally reached a tribute agreement.” Zhao Cheng obviously knew about this and said slowly.

Did the First Emperor conquer the Buddhist kingdom of Canaan?

Ying Xuan raised his eyebrows, thinking. If his cultivation had not been completely lost, the First Emperor would also be a Daluo Golden Immortal, and he also possessed the destiny of the Qin Dynasty. Beating up a Dingguang Happy Buddha… it seemed like there would be no problem.

But the key point is, that is Xiniu Hezhou.

When the First Emperor was alive, did he actually turn his military forces toward the West?

Ying Xuan’s eyes flickered, and he vaguely felt that this matter might be somewhat related to the sudden death of the First Emperor… After all, according to his understanding, the Western Daxing was a human dynasty based in the Kyushu land.

Only when Buddhism spreads to the East can the West prosper.

In the trajectory of heaven and the original destiny, Buddhism was to spread eastward according to the Dharma, thus causing the West to flourish.

“Draft an imperial decree and have Xianyang City send a document immediately, asking the Canaan Buddhist Kingdom to hand over Zhao Gao and Hu Hai.” Ying Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He did not expect to force the Canaan Buddhist Kingdom to hand over Zhao Gao and Hu Hai through this method, but just wanted to use it to test… the attitude of the Canaan Buddhist Kingdom towards the Qin Dynasty.

After all, just paying tribute is far from enough.

“Yes.” Zhao Cheng bowed and accepted the order.

As for why Ying Xuan did this, that was not something he, a eunuch in front of the emperor, should worry about.

“Send an order, have Wang Ben and Meng Yi make preparations, and leave Dongting Lake tomorrow.”

Ying Xuan, with his disheveled clothes on, turned around and went back to the palace. He really intended to enjoy himself during this tour.

As for inspecting officials in various places and conferring an imperial title on Qu Yuan…that was just something he did conveniently.

……

at the same time.

During the time when Ying Xuan’s touring carriage stayed at Dongting Lake, his news spread throughout the nine provinces.

And on a forest official road thousands of miles away from Dongting Lake, eight hundred cavalrymen rushed out of the forest as if with the sound of thunder and headed straight ahead.

“Young Master, there is a report that the Emperor Qin II’s imperial carriage has stopped at Dongting Lake!”

A cavalryman, riding his extraordinary warhorse, approached the one in the front and quickly said, “Dongting Lake is only about 6,000 miles away from where we are. With the speed of the Black Blood Horse, if we run at full speed, we can reach Dongting Lake in half a day!”

“Hmm? In Dongting Lake?”

Xiang Yu, who was at the front, raised his eyebrows when he heard this. His eyes flashed, and a wanton smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said loudly, “Let’s go and meet this Qin II!”

“promise!”

As soon as the words fell, a group of cavalry responded one after another, and the overwhelming military force slowly gathered. They were the last remnants of the Chu State that was wiped out by the Qin Dynasty in the past, and they were also the remnants of Shen Xi’s army.

Although there are only 800 riders, each of them has excellent skills and is comparable to the Iron Eagle Warriors of the Qin Dynasty. They are truly elite soldiers.

Even the war horses they ride are no ordinary creatures. They are black-blood horses with the blood of the witch clan, and can travel at a speed of nine thousand miles a day.

This is not a noun, but an adjective.

“Young Master, can you be more cautious?”

Xiang Bo hesitated for a moment, but still moved a little closer to Xiang Yu, and then said, “We rushed out from Chu and ran all the way without stopping. The Emperor Qin II’s carriage was escorted by a group of Nine Nether Army soldiers… If we use a tired army to fight the enemy, accidents are inevitable.”

Different from other members of the Xiang clan, Xiang Bo was a disciple of the military strategist among the Hundred Schools of Thought and was well versed in the art of war. Therefore, he knew very well that the eight hundred Shen Xi cavalrymen looked very powerful but a little tired.

To use such an iron cavalry to fight against the Nine Nether Army that is capable of killing great practitioners in the Golden Immortal Realm… this is no longer arrogance, but arrogance and even more so, hubris!
“Uncle, you worry too much!”

Xiang Yu shook his head without even thinking, his face full of anticipation and enthusiasm, and said loudly: “With me here, there will definitely be no accidents!”

As he spoke, an incomparably powerful aura arose, gradually enveloping the eight hundred Shenxi riders who were following closely behind him.

The momentum is as vast as the abyss, faintly like the clashing of golden swords, and the clanging sound is as majestic as if it is about to come!
Xiang Bo sensed the momentum and opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.

Because this momentum is so strong… it has reached the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm!
And in Xiang Bo’s eyes, such changes are becoming more and more serious day by day!
If this continued, he even doubted whether there would be an upper limit to this change.

You can’t just keep breaking through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal… or even the Daluo Golden Immortal, right?
Thinking of this, Xiang Bo’s heart was trembling!
The horse running alone in the front looked like there was a huge and boundless black shadow living inside his body!

And at this moment, its true appearance is gradually revealed!
……

Dongting Lake, Ancheng.

This is one of the county towns under the jurisdiction of the 800-li Dongting Lake, but because of its remote location and lack of resources, it is not ranked among the 36 counties under the jurisdiction of the Qin Dynasty. It was only named a county town for the convenience of governance.

Compared with other county cities, Ancheng also appears weak. There are only less than a thousand soldiers stationed there. The city walls are not high and there are no engraved formations, making it difficult to resist strong attacks.

However, Dongting Lake is the heartland of the Qin Dynasty, so it doesn’t matter whether the city wall of Ancheng is high or not.

After all, if someone could reach Ancheng, it would mean that Jiuzhou would be close to falling.

However, the people in Ancheng at this moment vaguely felt a different atmosphere today.

That distant horizon…why did the sky suddenly change strangely?
Almost at the same time——

Rumble!
It was like a sound of thunder, coming from far away, then getting closer and closer in an instant!

The soldiers guarding the city gate stared with wide eyes at the cavalry that suddenly rushed out of the forest and rushed all the way from the official road, and shouted in panic: “Enemy, enemy attack!!!”

Swish!
A spear tore through the void and arrived in an instant, shattering the soldier’s body!
The next moment, the exclamations stopped abruptly!

What followed was a terror like the abyss, shrouding this border town outside Dongting Lake!
A huge flag was raised in the wind, surrounded by a mighty army, reflecting the glittering large characters – Xiang!

After hearing the news, the governor of Ancheng County rushed over in a hurry. Standing on the top of the city wall, he looked at the words and the cavalry under the big flag, and couldn’t help but gasp!
“That’s… the Xiang clan’s Shenxi cavalry!!”
