"For repeatedly defying this immortal master, I hereby decree that you be stripped of both legs, rendering you a cripple who can no longer walk!"
After saying this.
Chen Yan extended his right index finger; it was long, slender, and fair, with neatly trimmed nails.
He tapped lightly twice in the direction where Zhao Gao was standing.
Just as everyone was stunned.
Two sword blades, formed from solidified air, appeared out of thin air and, with unbelievable speed, easily severed Zhao Gao's legs.
Instantly, Zhao Gao let out a scream, and blood gushed out.
Everyone in the fortune-telling shop was startled by this sudden turn of events.
Meng Tian, Feng Quji, and others were shocked by Chen Yan's decisiveness and ruthlessness.
Donghuang Taiyi was shocked by Chen Yan's strength. Even he didn't know if he could block the two energy blades that Chen Yan had conjured out of thin air.
Instantly.
All the pride in my heart turned into cold sweat, which slowly trickled down my back.
It should be noted that before coming here, he still harbored the desire to compete with Chen Yan, but now that he saw Chen Yan make a move, all his fighting spirit vanished, leaving only intense fear.
"Chen Yan, how dare you casually injure the Grand Chariot Officer of my Great Qin Dynasty, you are too..."
Hu Hai was Zhao Gao's student and always respected him. When he saw Zhao Gao's legs being cut off, he was filled with rage and turned around abruptly to shout angrily at Chen Yan.
But before he could finish speaking, he met Chen Yan's cold gaze and swallowed the rest of his words.
Because he had an extremely strong premonition.
If he were to utter the second half of that threat, his fate would be just as tragic as Zhao Gao's, and it wouldn't change in the slightest just because he was a prince of Qin...
The dramatic change before his eyes made Ying Zheng's eyelids twitch slightly.
But having weathered countless storms, his heart has long been as firm as a rock.
Plus,
At this moment, what he cared about most was Chen Yan's prediction that the Qin Dynasty would perish after three generations, and he couldn't be bothered to care about anything else.
He didn't even glance at the injured Zhao Gao.
His eyes held a deep sense of authority and profound doubt as he asked, "Master Chen, I want to know, what you said before, that the Great Qin Empire would perish after three generations, is that true?"
"Of course it's true."
Chen Yan nodded solemnly.
Upon receiving an affirmative reply, Ying Zheng was startled.
Fusu, Huhai, Meng Tian, and the others could no longer care about the injured Zhao Gao; they were once again deeply moved by Chen Yan's affirmative nod.
Simultaneously.
They also harbored deep confusion.
The Qin Empire was at its zenith, its imperial power consolidated and unbreakable, and it possessed hundreds of thousands of powerful troops that had swept through the six other states. How then did it perish after only three generations?
Chapter 232 The First Emperor is enraged and kicks Zhao Gao hard!
Ying Zheng was also filled with strong doubts.
Did the Qin Dynasty perish after only three generations?
This was something he had never considered before.
At this time, all enemies had been wiped out from the Qin territory, the imperial power was stable, and there were many talented people. It seemed unlikely that the Qin dynasty would only last for three generations.
"Shopkeeper, tell me quickly what happened?"
Wanwan and the others were also very suspicious and kept urging Chen Yan to hurry up...
Chen Yan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
Ying Zheng, Fusu, Meng Tian, and everyone else all turned to look at him, knowing that Chen Yan was about to reveal the mystery.
Listen attentively now.
Even Zhao Gao, who was injured, endured the excruciating pain and dared not utter a sound, for fear of missing a single word from Chen Yan's mouth...
At this time,
After moistening his throat, Chen Yan finally spoke. He first gave Ying Zheng a deep look and then said, "The beginning of the Qin Empire's demise began with your death, Ying Zheng."
Two years later, during your fifth eastern tour, you will die of illness in the sand dunes of Xingtai…
As soon as these words came out.
Fusu, Meng Tian, Feng Quji, and the others all had their expressions change drastically.
I was utterly terrified.
Ying Zheng was the pillar of the Qin Dynasty, their spiritual backbone. Was it going to collapse in just two years...?
Thinking of this, they felt both sad and lost, providing Chen Yan with nearly 10,000 points of despair.
Ying Zheng himself was also taken aback.
Although he knew his health had been deteriorating over the past few years, he never expected that he could only hold on for two more years.
Thinking of this, he felt a pang of sadness and despair, providing two thousand collapse points.
Chen Yan thought to himself, "This is what I'm complaining about."
Your body could have lasted much longer, but you sought immortality and took drugs indiscriminately, making your body even worse. It's already quite a miracle that you can last another two years.
After being deeply saddened, Ying Zheng remained silent.
Then he looked up.
As expected of someone who has weathered many storms, he quickly composed himself and calmly accepted the news of his death. He looked at Chen Yan and said in a deep voice, "Master Chen, even if I die two years from now..."
However, after Fusu ascended the throne, he had Meng Tian in military affairs, Li Si and Feng Quji in civil affairs, and Zhao Gao and others in internal affairs to support him.
It's impossible for them to squander the entire Qin Dynasty's wealth and lead it to decline..."
Talk about this.
He paused, then looked at Fusu with a complicated expression.
This son is more kind than decisive.
Although he is not an outstanding successor, he is more than capable of accepting the advice of capable people, correcting his mistakes, and maintaining the status quo.
They noticed Ying Zheng looking over.
Fusu sensed a message of inheritance, and immediately straightened his chest, cupped his hands to Chen Yan, and said with a firm and confident voice, abandoning his usual gentle and refined manner: "Immortal Master Chen, I am confident that after I succeed to the throne, although I will not be able to expand the territory."
But maintaining the foundation of the Qin Dynasty is still not a problem.
Why would you say that the Qin Dynasty declined to its extreme under my leadership?
It wasn't just him who was confused,
Feng Quji, Meng Tian, and others also harbored deep doubts.
Chen Yan glanced at Zhao Gao, Hu Hai, and Li Si, then smiled and said, "Yes, Fusu, you are absolutely right."
If you succeed to the throne, you will become the second leader of the Qin Empire.
With a group of outstanding civil and military officials assisting you, the Qin Dynasty will naturally not decline under your leadership...
But that's the unfortunate part.
Your succession was merely a hypothetical scenario, yet you ultimately failed to ascend the throne of the Qin Dynasty.
After Ying Zheng's death.
The person who ascended the throne as the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty was him… Huhai!
Talk about this.
Chen Yan pointed to Hu Hai, who was standing next to Fusu.
Brush brush!
Instantly.
Everyone's eyes, like sharp arrows, all fell on Hu Hai!
Hu Hai felt immense pressure as everyone's eyes were on him.
Although he was usually arrogant and dissolute, he was actually not very bold.
With so many eyes on me, my legs started to tremble...
"This man is so incompetent. If he were to succeed to the throne, it seems plausible that the Qin Dynasty would decline and perish after only three generations..."
Wanwan, Wuqing, and the others exchanged glances and sighed with emotion.
Fusu, however, felt extremely distressed.
As the eldest son of the First Emperor, he had always been the undisputed first choice for the second-generation successor.
Unexpectedly, the throne eventually fell to Huhai.
