Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 287 - 140: Zhao Feng Returns, Ying Zheng Surprised! (2)

Most of the Zhao state’s nobles and the attendants from the Zhao Royal Palace who had fled Handan City had been caught—nearly seven or eight out of every ten—and were now gathered in the plaza before Longtai Palace. Most of these people had once been princes and nobles, but now, they were all reduced to prisoners.o chase celebrities, but this was Emperor Qin Shi Huang before him—the charismatic ancestor countless Huaxia People revered with pride. If not for him, Huaxia might have remained fractured for thousands, even tens of thousands of years, never to be unified. The unification of Huaxia all came down to Emperor Qin Shi Huang, to this captivating ancestor.

As Zhao Feng ascended the stairs, he was finally facing Emperor Qin Shi Huang. No, the current King of Qin, the future Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

But seeing Zhao Feng’s blood-soaked state, Shangjiangjun Wang Jian couldn’t help but speak up. "You reckless boy! Do you have no sense of propriety? Don’t you know to clean yourself up first?"

"Shangjiangjun," Zhao Feng replied with a smile, "I just got back from chasing down those fleeing Zhao nobles. There was simply no time."

It was true. Fortunately, it was Ying Zheng, whose majesty was as vast as the heavens, who stood before him. A more timid ruler would have been terrified by his current state. To put it bluntly, aside from his eyes, his entire body was covered in blood and filth.

"You..." Wang Jian was at a loss for words. He could clearly see that Zhao Feng had no idea the Great King was coming. Besides, this blood-soaked appearance was, in itself, proof of Zhao Feng’s accomplishments on the battlefield.

"Shangjiangjun, say no more," Ying Zheng said with a smile. "General Zhao’s appearance only further demonstrates the valor of our Qin’s War Generals and is enough to make our enemies tremble in fear at the very news of him."

"I understand," Wang Jian responded immediately. He hadn’t intended to chastise Zhao Feng, but rather to smooth things over for his breach of etiquette.

"Where is Zhao Yan?" Ying Zheng asked, the smile on his face vanishing and replaced by a cold expression.

Without hesitating, Zhao Feng turned and shouted loudly to those below the steps, "Bring Zhao Yan up!"

In response, two trusted aides immediately hoisted Zhao Yan to his feet, marched him up the stairs, and pushed him forward.
