<strong>B2C5: Meteoric Tear (1)</strong>


    The Qin n’s people have been subjects of the Chu kingdom for several hundred years without putting their ns into action. Why, after several hundred years, have they decided to spring into action?


    Wondering about this point, Qin Yu looks at Qin De and asks doubtfully: “Father, our Qin n hasn’t done anything for thest several hundred years. Why must we spring into action 5 yearster? Could it be we’ll really need several hundred years of preparation to destroy the Xiang n? If we’re going to fight, why don’t we take action early?” Qin Yu is naturally not convinced that this is right.


    “Yu’er.” Qin De’s face suddenly looks a bit upset. ‘’Now that you asked, I’ll tell you another secret.’’


    At this moment, big brother Qin Feng looks even colder. There is also no smiling expression on the face of second brother Qin Zheng while Xu Yuan stops waving his fan. Qin Yu also feels that the whole atmosphere in the secret room has changed. He knows the matter his father is about to mention is unusually important.


    Qin De’s look seems to be able to go through space-time. He says in an indistinct voice: ‘’Yu’er, 14 years ago, when your big brother turned 10, your mother died. On that day, a veryrge fire broke out. In the past I told you that ... your mother died in the fire. But the truth is ... your mother was murdered!!!’’ The muscles on Qin De’s face all start to tremble. There are only sorrow and hatred in his eyes.


    “Bang!” Qin Yu feels as if there is a series of explosions in his head. His face suddenly turns very pale.


    ‘’Mother was murdered?’’ For the moment, Qin Yu’s mind is inplete chaos. He lost his mother when he was 2. 2 years old, at that time he was still very little and simply could not remember his mother’s appearance.


    Thinking about mother,


    The first thing emerges in Qin Yu’s mind is that picture. Not long after he was born, when he was just one-month old, a painter was asked to draw that picture. In the picture, there is a young married woman holding a baby. The young married woman is smiling at the baby in her bosom. Her loving eyes are emitting a motherly radiance.


    When Qin Yu was very little, there were countless times when he stood foolishly viewing the picture and said to himself: “This is my mother,” while his mind tried hard to remember his mother’s appearance. There were many times when his mother’s appearance lingered on in his dreams. Whenever Qin Yu saw other children with their mothers in Yan City, he wished his mother had been living. How he wished his mother had been alive as well! When he was very little, he wept to his father time after time, asking for his mother.


    As he gradually grew, Qin Yu did not weep asking for his mother anymore. Every time little Qin Yu thought about his mother, he watched the stars, because Grandpa Lian had said deceased people would go up into the sky and be stars. This is also one of the reasons why Qin Yu likes to watch the stars.


    Now that little Qin Yu has be an adult. But at this moment, he is unexpectedly told that ... his mother did not die because of the fire and, moreover, she was murdered.


    ‘’Who killed my mother?!” Qin Yu stares at Qin De and shouts. His eyes have reddened.


    His only mother -- That pulsating emotion at the bottom of his soul -- The picture of mother in Qin Yu’s mind suddenly shatters into pieces like ss. A stream of wrath erupts from the depths of his soul and reaches his chest in an instant. This is hatred. This is absolute wrath!


    ‘’Who? In the end who murdered my mother?!’’ The muscles of Qin Yu’s hands all start to tremble. His whole body has started to boil!


    Qin Feng’s and Qin Zheng’s eyes also radiate hatred.


    ‘’Could it be...’’ As if a ray of light suddenly shes through Qin Yu’s mind, he immediately suspects one possibility. He stares at his father: ‘’Father, could it be mother’s murderer is Xiang n’s? Yes, it must’ve been so.’’


    ‘’Yes, it’s Xiang n’s. Moreover, the murderer is the current Chu emperor Xiang Guang. It’s he who murdered your mother. Also, your big brother witnessed this incident with his own eyes,’’ says Qin De in an ice-cold voice. For the moment, there is aplete silence in the secret room.


    ‘’Xiang Guang, he thought that after driving Jing Yi to death then faking a fire what he did will be shrouded in absolute secrecy. He thought he had put me off the scent and I would never discover what happened. But ... he didn’t know Feng’er, 10 year old at that time, was in Jing Yi’s room.’’ Qin De’s killing intent surges up.


    ‘’At that time, if it hadn’t been for Uncle Feng, I would’ve died and no one would’ve known the truth about mother’s death,’’ says Qin Feng coldly.


    Everything hase to light.


    Everything has been made clear.


    Even though the Qin n’s people are Qin Shi Huang’s descendants, for thest several hundred years, they have hadplete control over the 3 Eastern region counties and have been enjoying life without worrying about things. Quite a few ancestors of the Qin n advocated for a peaceful life. After all, it would be too difficult for them to usurp the Chu dynasty and the Qin n would possibly be finished instead. For thest several hundred years, the Qin n has always been unable to make up its mind to give up its current lifestyle and overthrow the Chu dynasty. However, the death of the wife of the current n head Qin De caused him to make up his mind. Therefore, 14 years ago, Qin De started to arrange a seizure of power, and he even set in motion some ns prepared several hundred years before.


    ‘’Father, I want to join the army. I’ll definitely avenge mother’s death!’’ Qin Yu says resolutely while looking at Qin De. There are only 2 ways for him to seek revenge. First is to use assassination. Second is to use the army to destroy the Xiang n directly then it will be easy to kill Xiang Guang.


    Assassinate Xiang Guang?


    Qin Yu thought about it for a while then gave up. As the Chu emperor, Xiang Guang is protected closely by countless experts. Even a Xiantian expert will have absolutely no chance of killing him. Needless to say, Qin Yu practices external techniques. Therefore, he has no choice but to join Qin De’s n.


    “Nonsense!” Qin De stares at Qin Yu and reproves him. ‘’You’re just a boy. You haven’t learned the art of war or the art of ruling. How will you lead the army?”


    “Then I’ll be a vanguard soldier. I’ll be a small soldier,’’ replies Qin Yu immediately. He understands he knows nothing about leading soldiers inbat but he cannot bear the thought of standing idly by on one side. After all, this is a blood feud over the murder of his mother.


    “A vanguard soldier? A small soldier?” Qin De shakes his head and says: ‘’If we are to destroy the Xiang n in a war, the soldiers will have to be mobilized by the hundred thousand. On the battlefield, after the soldiers are lined up, you basically won’t even see the ends of a row. With so many people fighting together closely, what will be the use of you? As long as you’re not a Xiantian expert, you won’t be able to save your own little life in the middle of arge army!”


    Qin Yu is speechless.


    ‘’But ...” He wants to dispute.


    Qin De walks to his side, strokes his shoulder and says sincerely: ‘’Yu’er, you must understand, you’re a son of the Qin n. The blood of our Qin n absolutely doesn’t tolerate mistakes. Your big brother is a general and has also reached the Xiantian level, so I’m certainly not worried about him. Your 2nd brother will stay far back from the front line to handle political affairs so I’m not worried about him either. You want to be a vanguard soldier, if you were to die, how would I exin it to the ancestors? How would I exin it to your deceased mother?”


    “Yu’er, don’t be stubborn. If you joined the army, you would only make me more worried about you. Yu’er, you’ve be an adult, you must learn to consider the big picture,” says Qin De while staring at Qin Yu.


    Qin Yu thinks for a while.


    He understands he himself cannot help in handling political affairs. If he became a normal vanguard soldier, his father would be negatively affected when marshaling forces because he would not be able to ignore his own son in a certain troop.


    Moreover, the offensive power of an individual like him would be negligible in the middle of arge army.


    Qin Yu has made a judgement in his mind. If he joined the usurpation n, he would be of no use. Worse still, he would have negative effects on it.


    ‘’Father, I already understand. I won’t be a hindrance to all of you,” says Qin Yu with a nod. Then he turns around and leaves immediately. Seeing Qin Yu leaving, Qin De cannot help feeling unhappy. Qin Feng, Qin Zheng and Xu Yuan all stand up and follow his back with their eyes.


    When Qin Yu reaches the door, he suddenly stops, turns around, looks at the other people and says: ‘’Father, big brother, second brother, Uncle Xu, please avenge my mother’s death.’’


    ‘’Third brother, don’t worry, we’ll definitely eliminate the Xiang n,’’ says 2nd brother Qin Zheng resolutely. Qin Feng also nods solemnly to Qin Yu. Xu Yuan and Qin De also look at Qin Yu to let him totally understand their intentions.


    “Thank you!” As Qin Yu finishes saying, he goes out of the secret room directly without looking back and gets in the corridor. It is alreadyte at night. The sky is filled with countless visible stars. The cold winds of thete night are blowing, causing Qin Yu’s whole body to slightly tremble uncontrobly.


    Qin Yu suddenly turns around and looks at that room beside the corridor. The secret room is under the ground of that room. ‘’Perhaps father and the others are discussing some important ns but I can’t offer them any help.” Qin Yu smiles bitterly then turns around and leaves immediately.
