Episode 4: Secret (Part 2)

  Meteor Tears (Second Collection) Secrets (Fourth Collection, Part 2)

  Qin Yu's heart was involuntarily stirred up with a surge of emotions.

  Qin Shi Huang, in the heart of every person on the continent of Penglai, represents a supreme status. Qin Shi Huang not only unified the world but also had extremely high cultivation himself. Both power and cultivation, Qin Shi Huang reached the extreme, which is incomparable to anyone, and he is actually a descendant of Qin Shi Huang, how can this not shock Qin Yu's heart.

  "Feather, as the descendant of the First Emperor, don't forget the glory of Qin Dynasty. Feather, do you know how the First Emperor died?" Qin De stared at Qin Yu and asked.

  Qin Yu recalled what he had read in the book and said, "Qin Shi Huang's skills were extremely high, and it is said that he reached the realm of a superior immortal. According to reason, living for over a thousand years would also be normal. However, later on, he was killed by Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, who was also the first emperor of our Chu Dynasty."

  "That's right, it was Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu." Qin De's eyes emitted a piercing glare. "The four western districts were the Item family's stronghold, operating for over a thousand years, relying on the four western districts to rise to power and start conquering the world. In the beginning, the top-ranked master, known as the first, was Xiang Yu. The Overlord of Western Chu, Xiang Yu, killed our ancestors. If the First Emperor hadn't died, how could our Qin dynasty have been destroyed? However..."

  Qin De sneered: "However, that Western Chu Emperor was also killed by the combined efforts of two great masters from the Qin Dynasty a year later. His golden elixir shattered and he fell into the river to his death."

  The Chu royal court was founded by Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, but he himself did not enjoy the glory and wealth of a peaceful emperor.

  "We, the descendants of the First Emperor, must restore our former glory, but we cannot be too hasty. We need to set a goal, and at first, the Qin dynasty was destroyed because of the Xiang family. So our first task is to eliminate the Xiang family and seize the entire Chu kingdom." A terrifying glint flashed in Qin De's eyes.

  Destroy the House of Xiang and seize the entire Chu kingdom.

  Qin Yu was trying his best to calm down at this moment. What Qin De said today had really shocked him too much.

  Xiang Yu killed the First Emperor of Qin and destroyed the Qin Dynasty. However, the top masters of the Qin Dynasty joined forces to kill Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu. Otherwise, with Xiang Yu's original terrifying strength and the power of the Xiang family army, it would not have been impossible to destroy the other two major powers and unify the entire Dragon Continent. This led to the current division of the Dragon Continent into three parts.

  Qin Zheng put one hand on Qin Yu's shoulder, and Qin Yu turned his head to look at his second brother. Qin Zheng gazed seriously at Qin Yu and said solemnly: "Third Brother, I and Big Brother, as well as Father King, have been striving for this goal all these years. Third Brother, remember that we are the descendants of Qin Shi Huang, and we must restore the glory of our ancestors."

  Qin De, Qin Feng, Qin Zheng and Xu Yuan beside him were all looking at Qin Yu.

  Qin Yu looked at the gaze of his loved ones, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

  "In five years, everything will be ready. At that time, it will be our Qin family's turn to take action. We must destroy the Xie family and unify the entire Chu kingdom." Qin De's body naturally emitted a faint aura of killing intent at this moment, and the light in his eyes was also terrifyingly bright.

  Qin Yu furrowed his brow after hearing this, and he also knew the entire layout of the Chu royal court.

  The Chu royal court was mainly divided into four major families. The first was the imperial family, the Xiang family, which completely controlled the four western counties and had an army of 800,000 soldiers, with the Xiang family's iron cavalry being particularly famous for its reputation that spread far and wide.

  The second is the Qin family of the three counties in the Eastern Territory, with a force of 6 million troops. Among them, the 500,000-strong Lietu Army is even more intimidating to various forces. However, the Qin family has 2 million troops stationed in the Black Water Mountain Range to intimidate the largest bandit base in the world, and only 4 million troops are actually available.

  The third family is the Mu family of the three southern provinces, also with an army of 600,000. The fourth family is the Shangguan family of the two western provinces, with a total of 400,000 troops.

  This was the rule of the imperial family Xiang's at the beginning, and each county could only recruit 20 million soldiers. The entire Chu Wang Dynasty had twelve counties, which were divided among four major families, but the other two major families near the Xiang family had a good relationship with the Xiang family.

  "Father, if we destroy the Xiang family, won't the other two families interfere? And even if they don't, after we destroy the Xiang family and our strength is greatly reduced, what's to stop the other two families from taking advantage of us and destroying us?" Qin Yu suddenly thought of the crux of the problem.

  Qin De smiled slightly.

  Qin Zheng said to Qin Yu, "Third brother, don't worry about this. The two big families, the Mu family is very loyal to the Xiang family. However, the Shangguan family of the two northern provinces is a turncoat and should be easy to win over. Moreover... our Qin family has not been just a nominal 600,000-strong army all these years."

  Qin Yu shook his head and said, "No, Second Brother. Since the Xiang family is a royal clan, they must have an intelligence agency to monitor the world. Our Qin family has 600,000 troops, and if we want to recruit more soldiers, even just 100,000 more, the food, armor, weapons, etc. for these 100,000 people are all huge numbers. It's really too difficult to escape the Xiang family's intelligence agency's investigation. Moreover, the Mu family is loyal to the Xiang family, and together they have seven counties. As for the Shangguan family, they are like a wall grass, but this wall grass may not necessarily side with us. After all, our strength is still inferior to that of the Xiang family."

  Qin Yu was somewhat skeptical of his own family unifying the Chu kingdom.

  "Moreover, the Black Water Mountains are the lair of the first bandits. They claim to have 200,000 men, but outsiders don't know the actual number. We need an army of 200,000 to intimidate them. Otherwise, if so many bandits were to swarm in like locusts, the three counties of the Eastern Domain would be thrown into chaos. So, we only have 40 million troops that can take action. Even if there are 10 million more in secret, it's still only 50 million. How can we compete with the Xiang family? Our Lietu Army is formidable, but at most, 5 million Lietu soldiers can match up to 23 million troops. The Xiang family's 200,000 iron cavalry isn't something to be trifled with." Qin Yu said again.

  Qin Yu suddenly found many problems.

  "Moreover, if there is a great war within the Chu royal family, will the Han and Ming royal families really remain calm? Once these two major royal families take action, it will be truly chaotic." Qin Yu said again, saying this, Qin Yu himself could not imagine how his family would unify the entire Chu royal family.

  Qin De, Qin Zheng and Qin Feng, as well as Xu Yuan, all smiled in approval as they looked at Qin Yu.

  "Not bad, Yu'er, I didn't expect you to have such a broad perspective, thinking of so many things in such a short time. But war is not as simple as you think it is, it's not just a simple comparison of strength, logistics and strategy are all very complex. Moreover, the four major families of the Chu royal court are not what they seem on the surface, don't worry, our Qin family has been preparing for hundreds of years, various plans have already been made, wait until five years later, you'll see how we will destroy the Xiang family." Qin said firmly.

  Qin Yu looked at his father king with doubt.

  He didn't understand, the four major families, the Mu and Xiang families were together, and the Shangguan family might not necessarily side with the Qin family. What made his father so confident? Was it just a matter of preparing for hundreds of years? Would an army of 600,000 become 800,000 after hundreds of years? Moreover, the troops on the Black Water Mountain range couldn't be moved, otherwise the three counties in the Eastern Domain would be thrown into chaos, which would be disastrous, as they were the foundation of their own power.

  "Don't worry, your father has already taken everything into account." Qin De said with a smile.

  Qin Yu didn't know what his father, the king, was thinking, but in his own opinion, it would be really difficult for the Qin family to unify the entire Chu kingdom. After all, the Han and Ming dynasties weren't pushovers. However, seeing his father's gaze, Qin Yu felt a lot more at ease.
