In the palace, many ministers and members of the royal family gathered here, and they were all worried. No one expected that a mere pretty boy would dare to rebel.

King Qin Yingzheng, on the other hand, was sitting at the table, his eyes slightly lowered without any sign of urgency, as if he didn't care about the current critical moment of life and death.

Gai Nie held the sword in one hand and was guarding him, performing his bodyguard work seriously as usual.

At this moment, a guard came in a hurry and reported: "Your Majesty, our army has suffered heavy casualties. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for too long. Please move on, Your Majesty!"

As soon as the words fell, the princes and ministers all changed their expressions, and they couldn't help but start a commotion.

"quiet!"

Ying Zheng shouted, and then glanced at everyone: "He is just a traitor, why have he lost his sense of proportion? How can he look like a member of the imperial court!"

At this time, a minister quickly said: "Your Majesty, the rebels are approaching and the situation is critical. Please take shelter for a while to prevent any unexpected events!"

"When an army approaches the city, where can they retreat to?"

As he spoke, Ying Zheng took a look at the ministers and said, "If you are really afraid, you can try to kill a few people and ask for credit in front of Lao Ai, and maybe you can get the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."

After hearing this, everyone quickly knelt down and said, "I don't dare!"

With a cold snort, he stood up and took out the Prince's Sword from his waist, and said: "I'm just waiting here to see if that little guy can take my life!"

………………

Outside the palace wall, Lao Ai led his soldiers to continue their crazy attack. After two hours of fighting, both sides suffered heavy losses.

At this time, the number of defenders was getting smaller and smaller, but they were still resisting tenaciously. It seemed that it would be difficult to attack the city for a while.

Lao Ai's face was particularly ugly. Although he didn't care about the life or death of these soldiers, he still couldn't get in after nearly half a day of storming, which exhausted his little patience.

After all, the most important thing now is time. If reinforcements from Ying Zheng or Lu Buwei arrive, everything will be over.

Anxious in his heart, he urged the attack again, and promised that those who led the way into the palace would be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold and be granted the title of Thousand Households!

Many soldiers were inspired and roared and charged forward again. After all, the opportunity to reach the sky in one step was right in front of them. There was no shortage of desperadoes in this world.

Facing a more ferocious attack, the defenders on the palace wall suddenly felt a great deal of pressure, but they still used their blood and bodies to protect the palace. This was their mission and responsibility as soldiers.

Lu Buwei looked at the situation in front of him with panic in his heart, and hated himself for not preparing more troops before. If the other party really succeeded, he would be dead or alive.

And at this critical moment, a sound of horse hooves came, the rhythm was uniform, dense and not messy.

Lu Buwei, who was on the city wall, raised his eyes and saw a group of iron cavalry emerging from his field of vision like a torrent of steel, like a raging black wave rushing towards them.

The cavalry team of a thousand people held iron swords and wore pitch black armor. Their faces were obscured by black gold face armor, and a big word "Win" was written on the flag!

"This is……"

Lu Buwei's expression changed. Normally, this banner can only be raised when the king comes in person. But now that King Qin is still in the city, it is naturally impossible.

In this case, there is only one possibility, and that is the strongest army mobilized directly by King Qin, the Iron Eagle Swordsmen!

The Iron Eagle Swordsman is only at the command of the king and is the king's personal guard!

"My late king, you still have to be on guard against me after all..."

Lu Buwei sighed softly in his heart.

King Zhuang Xiang handed over the government affairs to him, and gave the power of supervising the country to Zhao Ji. And Ying Zheng was the other party's biological son, so how could he not have any trump cards?

The Iron Eagle Swordsman is the amulet left to Ying Zheng by the late king.

At this moment, he suddenly realized something. He must have been tricked by Ying Zheng. Not only himself, but also Lao Ai and even the queen were probably in the other party's scheme.

Although this plan is somewhat risky, it is very clever. It not only removes Lao Ai but also weakens himself, and even seizes future leverage. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone!

"Okay, really good!"

Thinking back to Ying Zheng, who was still submissive to him a few years ago, and thinking about the now turbulent King of Qin, Lu Buwei truly realized in his heart that the man who kept claiming that he was Zhong's father was no longer the young and powerless child he was before!

As the prime minister with overwhelming power, Lu Buwei was very aware of the strength of this army. From this moment on, the rebels' fate of defeat was doomed...

Sure enough, facing the most powerful Iron Eagle swordsman in the Qin Dynasty, the thousands of rebels under Lao Ai had no ability to resist at all, and were eliminated like chopping melons and vegetables.

After a while, this battle or rather a one-sided massacre came to an end. Except for a few soldiers who gave up their resistance and were captured, most of the rebels were killed on the spot.

The culprit, Lao Ai, was also captured by Meng Tian himself, tied up with five flowers, and taken to the Yongcheng Palace. She looked extremely embarrassed with disheveled hair, and she was kneeling in the palace with a look of extreme horror.

In the main hall, Ying Zheng sat on the throne, looking at Lao Ai with an indifferent expression.

Then he shouted: "Lao Ai, you have committed a serious crime of treason, but do you still have something to say?"

"Succeed as king and lose as bandit, you can kill or hack as you please!"

At this time, Lao Ai was like a soulless puppet, and he knew exactly what was waiting for him.

A cold light flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, and then he picked up the Queen Mother's seal on the table and walked slowly down to stand in front of him.

After looking at the seal found on the opponent's body, he said calmly: "Is this the thing that made you go from a common man to the most powerful Marquis of Changxin? Did it give you the courage to rebel and kill the king?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly threw the seal up, then took out the sword from his waist and slashed it across.

With a flash of sharp sword light, the Queen Mother's Seal, which symbolized the supreme power, was divided into two halves. The cut was thick, smooth and neat, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Ying Zheng put his sword back into its scabbard, turned around and walked towards the throne without looking at Lao Ai. At the same time, a majestic and cold voice came out.

"Lao Ai conspired to rebel. The crime cannot be pardoned. He will be punished by breaking a chariot and destroying three tribes!

The Queen Mother believed in traitors and traitors, causing thousands of soldiers of the Qin Dynasty to turn into traitors. From today on, all the Queen Mother's authority will be abolished, and she will be confined to Yongcheng to meditate on her mistakes. She will not be allowed to return to Xianyang for the rest of her life without the king's orders!"

Lu Buwei, the prime minister, has recommended unworthy people. According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, he should be punished with consecutive sittings. From now on, he will be removed from the position of prime minister, moved to a fiefdom and not allowed to interfere in the government affairs. All his followers will be arrested and imprisoned, and they will be severely sentenced according to the law!"
