A Bowl of Dumplings, a Cry of "Mother", and Half a Million Soldiers Kneeling in Tears

Since ancient times, the murder of one's parents has been a blood feud that cannot be shared under the same sky!

Thump!

Emperor Qinwu's body went limp, and he fell to his knees. A chill ran down his spine, making him feel as if he had plunged into an ice cellar!

He slightly raised his head to look at Qin Xiao.

"Lunatic! You are a complete lunatic!"

His eyes revealed extreme terror!

"Husband!"

Empress Dowager Wen, not yet knowing what had happened, hurriedly ran forward to support Emperor Qinwu.

"Aren't these commoners just ordinary people? Even if they are the parents of a five-hundred-thousand-strong army, so what? The military's duty is to obey orders. Just have Yu'er kill them and be done with it."

She spoke plausibly, thinking herself clever as she comforted Emperor Qinwu.

"Fool!"

Emperor Qinwu instantly flew into a rage. Like a lion with its hackles raised, his eyes turned bloodshot as he glared fiercely at Empress Dowager Wen.

"If Yu'er dares to give that order, he will be the first to die!"

He roared, raising his hand to slap Empress Dowager Wen across the face.

Emperor Qinwu ignored the stupid woman and hurriedly ran to the edge of the city wall, roaring at the top of his lungs.

"Yu'er, stop the battle! Hurry!"

On the battlefield.

Qin Yu turned his head and saw Emperor Qinwu screaming his lungs out at him, looking extremely anxious.

However, with the heaven-shaking thunder of ten thousand galloping horses ringing in his ears, he could not hear Emperor Qinwu's voice at all. Yet, seeing Emperor Qinwu's frantic appearance, Qin Yu sensed that something was wrong.

"It must be Qin Xiao!"

He clenched his fists tight.

"Do not fear, Imperial Father! Your son will surely speed up and slaughter these commoners to rescue you from Qin Xiao's hands!"

Qin Yu shouted to the sky.

Then, disregarding everything else, he issued the command.

"Kill all the commoners before us! Crush them!"

"Kill!"

The army of five hundred thousand roared like rolling thunder.

The iron cavalry trampled the earth, emitting a deafening rumble.

Despite such a massive and intimidating display, the crowd of commoners uncharacteristically did not retreat a single step.

"Wow, is this a drill? Such a huge formation!"

"I see my boy, he is in the first rank! How glorious it will be to tell others about this!"

"Son, I am over here, come over quickly!"

These soldiers of the army were all their children.

Would their own children actually kill them?

Not only were they not frightened, but they even rushed toward the army.

The five-hundred-thousand-strong army charged menacingly toward the commoners.

Long spears were held high, radiating a chilling murderous intent!

It seemed the next scene would be a bloody slaughterhouse!

"Are these commoners crazy?"

"Yeah, they are actually rushing up to court death!"

"Are their brains broken?"

"How about we detour around them? The commoners are innocent people too..."

The cavalrymen whispered among themselves in the ranks.

Their eyes were full of pity.

A cavalry chiliarch scolded in a low voice: "Do not forget Prince Qi's orders! If we dare to resist, there is only a dead end! Our families might even be punished along with us!"

Hearing this, the cavalrymen could only forcibly suppress their surging emotions.

As soldiers of the Great Qin, they did not want to strike at the commoners either.

But military orders were like mountains!

No one dared to disobey Qin Yu's command.

They could only put away their pity and launch an attack on the commoners!

However.

An old woman wearing a worn-out padded jacket was the first to squeeze out of the crowd of commoners, raising her hand and shouting.

"Ergou! You silly boy, you see your own mother and you do not even come over!"

After seeing the old woman, the cavalry chiliarch rubbed his eyes.

"Am I hallucinating? How am I seeing my own mother?"

Before he could even react.

The old woman, her face full of smiles, carefully took out a wooden bowl from her padded jacket.

Opening the lid on top, hot steam wafted out.

The old woman carefully held the wooden bowl, her wrinkled, aged face full of joy, and shouted at the cavalry chiliarch who was charging over with his spear.

"Silly boy, it is the New Year so we eat dumplings. I made them for you with my own hands, they are delicious!"

She was not the least bit afraid of her child charging at her with a spear.

Because she believed that her own child would never hurt her.

The cavalry chiliarch froze.

The little soldier next to him was also dumbfounded.

"Brother... that looks like... it really is your mother... and... I think I see my own father too..."

The cavalry chiliarch trembled involuntarily.

"Mother... it really is my mother!"

"Dumplings... New Year..."

His eyes stung, and his voice choked with emotion.

He had not seen his mother for three years.

When he left to join the army, he still remembered, it was a snowy night.

It was also the New Year, and there were also dumplings.

When he left home, his mother sold her jewelry to exchange for a small bag of flour to make a meal of dumplings.

The whole family watched him eat, constantly wiping away tears.

He finished that meal crying; it was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten in his entire life!

"Mom!"

"Mom!!!"

The cavalry chiliarch roared until his voice was hoarse.

Tears flowed down his face uncontrollably.

What had he just been doing!

He had almost killed his own mother!

"Damn it! Damn it!!"

The cavalry chiliarch trembled all over, veins bulging on his forehead!

He fiercely yanked the reins, causing his horse to rear up high, turning his horse around, and he stood alone, blocking the path in front of his mother.

Facing the stampede of a massive army, the cavalry chiliarch's eyes flashed with fierce light!

"Screw this! Whoever dares to hurt my mom, I will fight them to the death!"

However, he was not the only one who saw his relatives.

"Holy crap! Dad!"

"Wife, why did you run over here instead of taking care of the baby at home?"

"Mother! Your son is unfilial, failing to return home to visit you for so many years!"

....

In an instant, the entire battlefield turned into a massive family reunion scene.

Everywhere, people were looking for their mothers.

The supervising officers on the side, seeing that things were going wrong, let out eunuch-like shrieks.

"What are you all doing! Hurry up and kill these peasants!"

"If you dare to shelter these peasants, you will share the same crime as rebels! Kill without mercy!"

A leading supervising officer, his face full of anger, cracked the whip in his hand and directly knocked the wooden bowl of dumplings from the cavalry chiliarch's hands to the ground.

"What are you looking at! I am talking about you! You are a chiliarch, instead of leading the charge, you have the mind to eat dumplings!"

"Believe it or not, I will kill you right now!"

The cavalry chiliarch stood frozen in place, watching the overturned dumplings roll on the ground and then get stomped into the mud by the supervising officer's foot.

Boom!

His mind went completely blood-red!

"The dumplings... my mother's dumplings..."

He trembled all over.

Looking at the dumplings trampled into the mud, his head exploded with rage, and his eyes turned completely red!

"You damn eunuch! How dare you knock over my mother's dumplings! Die!"

The cavalry chiliarch's anger surged to the heavens, and with a fierce thrust of his spear, he directly stabbed the supervising officer to death on the ground.

This lowly chiliarch was just a microcosm of the battlefield.

Countless soldiers were brutally killing the supervising officers!

Dare to bully my mom?

I will kill you!

The scene descended into absolute chaos!
