Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 709  Chapter 290: Xiang Yu! Zhang Liang! The Unification of the World!

As long as Zhao Feng does not misunderstand, everything is fine.

Hou Sheng is truly worried that Zhao Feng might misunderstand these assassins as the doing of Qi. If that happens, no explanation would hold.

”Your Majesty.”

”All the assassins have been exterminated.”

”The Personal Guard Army suffered no casualties.”

Zhang Ming rode forward and respectfully reported.

Zhao Feng nodded slightly.

He then surveyed the civilians gathered on both sides of the official road, many of whom were still in a panic.

”I stand here, remnants of fallen nations. If you wish to kill me, you must seize this opportunity. Once today is past, there will be no more chances.”

After looking around, Zhao Feng shouted loudly.

In the shadows.

The remaining members who had not yet acted felt their hearts filled with anger and hatred upon hearing Zhao Fengʼs words.

Since the destruction of Han began.

In the destruction of the various countries by the Qin, Zhao Feng had a hand.

The number of noble families from deceased nations that perished by Zhao Fengʼs hands was countless. To these remnants, Zhao Feng bore countless blood debts; they hated him to the core and would tear him to pieces if they could.

Inside a civilian house.

”Bastard.”

”This damn Qin bandit.”

”Heʼs so rampant.”

”I will definitely kill him.”

A young boy cursed angrily and was about to rush out with his sword.

”Yuʼer, shut your mouth.”

”Behave.”

”In this situation, going out is seeking death.” A man slightly over thirty scolded the boy in front of him.

”Uncle.”

”Grandpa died by his hand, and half of our Xiang clan perished at the hands of the Qin Army, all because of this wretched Zhao Feng.”

”If I cannot kill him now, once he returns to the Qin Capital, there will hardly be another chance.” The boy called Yuʼer spoke with hatred.

”Zhao Feng is trying to use words to provoke us into coming out to die.”

”Although he doesnʼt have the strength of an entire camp with him, his trusted aides are battle-hardened warriors, and ordinary people can hardly match them. Even if you are brave, Yuʼer, can you contend against these elite troops?”

”Hold your patience.”

”Qin cannot remain powerful forever. We only have to wait for the right moment.” Xiang Liang sighed.

At this point.

The identity of this young boy can be inferred.

Historically renowned as the Overlord of Western Chu, Xiang Yu.

Xiang Liang was indeed his uncle.

In the past, when Zhao Feng led the army to destroy Chu, countless people of Chu died at Zhao Fengʼs hands; the three families of Chu, including Xiang Yanʼs family, were all exterminated by a single command from Zhao Feng.

”Brother Xiang.”

”Your uncle is right.”

”To seek revenge or restoration, now is simply not the time.”

”Currently, Qinʼs national power is strong, and the king is talented, with powerful civil and military abilities.”

”Our motherland couldnʼt compete with Qin when it existed, and now that itʼs gone, with our numbers alone, Qin could easily obliterate us.”

”Ultimately, weʼre just mice hiding in the shadows; staying hidden keeps us safe, but showing ourselves is seeking death.”

”We have to lie in wait for an opportunity.”

A young man also spoke to Xiang Yu.

”Zi Fang.”

”Now that the King of Qi has decided to surrender, what should we do?”

”Now only Qi remains; once Qi surrenders, Qi lands will become Qin Territory, and it will become even harder for us.” Xiang Liang looked at the young man helplessly.

”Although Qin unifies the world and its territory is vast, it cannot monitor everything. We currently have the household registration of People of Qi, and so long as we donʼt expose ourselves in the future, we can still gather strength and wait for an opportunity.”

”Not only that.”

”In our former motherland, numerous anti-Qin patriots can secretly develop, waiting for the moment when Qin weakens, then we can rise with the tide.” The young man said with determination.

”Qin is currently so strong, when will it ever become weak?”

”Ying Zheng is only in his thirties now.”

”If he lives as long as King Zhaoxiang of the past, wonʼt we have to endure for decades?”

”I fear that by then, we would have already lost our strength.” Xiang Liang said with a bitter expression.

”Brother Xiang.”

”These words are mistaken.”

The young man shook his head.

”Zi Fang, what higher insight do you have?” Xiang Liang immediately asked.

”After unification, Qin might not continue to remain strong.”

”Qin has flaws, big flaws.”

The young man spoke confidently, with mockery towards Qin.

”What flaws?”

Everyone in the room looked toward the young man.

”After the reforms, Qinʼs national power and military capabilities grew from weak to strong. The fundamental reason is Qinʼs military achievement system, which allowed Qinʼs commoners to climb from humble origins to high positions, like Zhao Feng. Is he not an example of this?”

”In just ten short years.”

”He climbed from a common soldier to Grand Commandant of Qin, demonstrating the power of Qinʼs military achievement system.”

”As long as one had merit, they could be promoted and ennobled.”

”But...”

The young man sneered: ”Now the situation is different, world peace is established, and Qinʼs one million soldiers have no wars to merit advancement, without wars to rise. Hence, the one million soldiers will lose their value.”

”Qinʼs very survival through the military achievement system will cease.”

”With the military achievement system gone, the land linked to Qinʼs nobility will also cease.”

”Qinʼs very foundation will be gone.”

”In a few years, these effects might not touch Qin, but in five years? Ten years? Qin is bound to experience chaos due to this military achievement system.”

”This will be our opportunity.”

”Of course.”

”Besides this flaw in the military achievement system.”

”There is another.” The young man appeared strategically assured.
