Half a Million Troops Lay Siege to the City Qin Rushuang Intervenes

Upon hearing the reward of a marquisate of ten thousand households, the five hundred thousand strong army roared with excitement, as if pumped full of adrenaline.

"Charge!"

"Kill Qin Xiao and claim the great merit!"

Roars echoed throughout heaven and earth!

The mighty army of half a million men surged forward, charging toward the capital!

Seeing this scene, the civil and military officials were scared out of their wits.

Had it not been for Qin Xiao's presence, they would have surrendered long ago.

Qin Xiao remained calm and breezy, his gaze indifferent as he looked down at the approaching army.

"Lu Fengxian, open the city gates."

"Huh? What?"

Lu Fengxian stood frozen in place, a look of bewilderment on his face.

He had been rubbing his fists and wiping his palms, ready for a major battle.

Yet Qin Xiao told him to open the city gates.

Wait, what was going on?

This humble general hasn't even died in battle yet, and His Majesty is already surrendering?

Lu Fengxian's mind raced with wild thoughts.

All the civil and military officials turned to look at Qin Xiao, their mouths agape and faces filled with confusion.

Weren't they supposed to fight?

The Son of Heaven guards the nation's gates; the sovereign dies for the state.

How could he surrender in the blink of an eye?

Many of the old ministers sighed heavily, looking at Qin Xiao with deep disappointment.

They had already prepared to die for the country alongside Qin Xiao.

But before they could even die, Qin Xiao chose to surrender.

How utterly absurd and ridiculous!

"Hahahaha!"

Emperor Qinwu threw his head back and laughed, looking at Qin Xiao with eyes full of mockery.

"What? Are you only now feeling fear after seeing an army of half a million charging at you?"

"It's too late for regrets now!"

He felt extremely smug, believing that Qin Xiao had been scared out of his wits.

Qin Xiao lifted his eyelids, glancing at Emperor Qinwu with a mocking smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.

Regret?

Qin Xiao never regretted anything he did!

As for why he wanted to open the gates.

It was simply because the city walls could not hold the families of the five hundred thousand soldiers.

After all, hundreds of thousands of people were just too many.

It was the perfect opportunity to leave the gates open and let the parents of those half a million soldiers march out of the city.

"Jia Xu, would you say that by allowing them to reunite with their families, I am being very considerate of the soldiers?"

Qin Xiao suddenly chuckled aloud.

Behind him, Jia Xu froze upon hearing this.

His eyes widened more and more.

At that moment, all the connecting clues surfaced in his mind, leaving him profoundly shocked.

"So that's it!"

"Your Majesty is truly a god among men!"

He clapped his hands forcefully.

"Even this subject could not conceive of such a stratagem. Your Majesty is truly an unparalleled, sagacious ruler of the ages!"

Jia Xu took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"Lu Fengxian, hurry, go open the city gates!"

"Huh?"

Lu Fengxian looked completely baffled.

He didn't understand, but he felt it was something incredible.

Why was he praising His Majesty again?

Nevertheless, he obediently followed the order and went to open the gates.

Clank! Clank!

The gears turned.

The ancient, massive bronze gates slowly opened.

The drawbridge was gradually lowered.

Forming a direct path into the capital.

"Ah? What's going on?"

Qin Yu, leading the soldiers in the charge, was taken aback by this sight.

"Has Qin Xiao surrendered?"

He looked up at Qin Xiao, his gaze growing increasingly disdainful.

"Heh, weren't you acting so arrogant just a moment ago?"

"Qin Xiao, it turns out you are nothing more than this!"

"But even if you surrender, this prince will still kill you!"

Qin Yu spoke coldly.

His eyes fixed intently on Qin Xiao ahead, a cold glint flashing in their depths.

"Soldiers, heed my command! Kill them for this prince!"

Rumble!

The five hundred thousand strong army charged, shaking the earth and sending dust flying into the air.

The walls of the entire capital trembled.

"Stop!"

A woman's voice rang out.

Above the battlefield, a figure clad in blood-red armor drifted down gracefully.

"Qin Yu, stop! You cannot kill Qin Xiao!"

The person who arrived was none other than Qin Rushuang.

Her face was haggard, and she had lost a significant amount of weight, looking as though her very spirit had been drained.

After the incident with Shen Han, she had investigated everything and discovered that Shen Han was actually Qin Yu's subordinate.

When she learned the whole truth, her heart felt as if it were being twisted by a knife!

Qin Rushuang looked toward Qin Xiao, offering a broken smile, her mouth slightly open as if she were speaking.

"Qin Xiao, your older sister was wrong. I will absolutely not allow anyone to hurt you!"

She knew that if she didn't intervene, Qin Xiao would surely die!

She already knew she was wrong; now, she only sought Qin Xiao's forgiveness.

"Eldest Sister?" Qin Yu's expression shifted.

He never expected that Qin Rushuang would stop him at such a critical moment.

"Eldest Sister, get out of the way! Qin Xiao ruined my manhood and has long severed ties with the family. He must die!"

Qin Rushuang stubbornly shook her head, standing alone before the army of half a million, her eyes resolute.

"If you want to kill Qin Xiao, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

Qin Yu's face suddenly turned ferocious, losing all the gentleness he had just displayed.

"Why? Eldest Sister, why are you forcing me like this!"

"Didn't you love me the most before? How did you turn out like this!"

He roared.

Qin Rushuang laughed.

Her smile was so full of irony.

"I doted on you, but what did you do?"

She pointed at Qin Yu, angrily questioning him.

"You framed Qin Xiao countless times, making us all hate him! Not only that, but you've been running amok in the Great Qin! How many innocent people have you murdered!"

"The Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is the best proof!"

"I've already investigated clearly. Over the years, thousands of innocent young women have gone missing in the capital, and you even indulged the monks of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple in forcibly seizing land."

"Those commoners who refused to hand over their land were beaten! Many were beaten to death alive!"

"Qin Yu, I hope you apologize to Qin Xiao. Repent and be saved, do not keep making mistake after mistake!"

She advised earnestly.

Qin Yu's eyes narrowed, his face turning gloomy.

"Eldest Sister, don't falsely accuse me!"

"Where did I go wrong? I am your younger brother! Why are you framing me like this!"

Clearly, her words had hit a nerve, and he became highly irritable.

In front of everyone, he had always played the part of a weak and innocent little flower.

But behind their backs, he committed utterly unconscionable and wicked deeds!

Over the years, he had frequently used his status as a prince to amass wealth and secure benefits.

Many corrupt officials committed evil deeds under Qin Yu's name!

Emperor Qinwu and Empress Dowager Wen, upon hearing this, had their expressions turn ugly.

"Vile creature! How did you become just like Qin Xiao, learning to falsely accuse your own brother!"

"Get lost at once! Don't be an eyesore here!"

Emperor Qinwu immediately cursed in anger.

He was somewhat fearful when dealing with Qin Xiao.

But what did Qin Rushuang count for, daring to frame Qin Yu?

Empress Dowager Wen also said, angry at her failure to meet expectations, "Rushuang, how did you turn into this, learning to pour dirty water on your brother's head?"

"You are a woman, destined to marry. What man would like someone like you, whose mouth is full of lies!"

An overwhelming torrent of verbal abuse swept toward Qin Rushuang.

In an instant, Qin Rushuang's face turned deathly pale. With eyes full of disbelief, she looked up at her imperial father and mother.

She trembled all over as despair spread from the bottom of her heart.

She had practically thrown the evidence right in front of them, so why... why were they still unwilling to believe it!
