Chapter 139 Changing Destiny
"collapse--"
After drawing the bowstring to its fullest extent, Tang Yu stared at the enormous white snake before him, and the entire history of the Qin and Han dynasties flashed through his mind.
Although the Qin Dynasty unified the country, the Han Dynasty was the one that truly carried forward and developed the unified culture of the Qin state and the system established by the Qin Dynasty.
The Qin Dynasty further developed and popularized the prefecture-county system, standardized cart tracks and writing, and the use of a single currency and language throughout the country.
All of this is inseparable from Liu Bang and the founding of the Han Dynasty.
Similarly, it is inseparable from Liu Bang's uprising after slaying the white snake.
If I were to kill this white snake right here, the fate of Liu Bang and the entire Han Dynasty would likely be altered.
Will I be Han Chinese in the years to come? Will I be Han Chinese?
He was unaware of all of this; what he did know was that...
If these things could have been done well during the Qin Dynasty, if many institutional deficiencies could have been completely remedied during the Qin Dynasty.
If people can live in peace and prosperity in advance, and the common people can live happily, then the existence of the Han Dynasty is meaningless.
After all, the writing system created by Qin Shi Huang was unified, but in the end it became Chinese characters.
Undeniably, the Han Dynasty holds extraordinary significance in the entirety of Chinese culture.
But if these people, who were also called Qin people during the Qin-Han transition, were treated the same way by the original people of the Central Plains, then there would be no difference.
With that thought in mind, Tang Yu resolutely raised his bow and arrow, aiming at the giant white snake in front of him.
The giant white snake froze instantly the moment it was aimed at by the arrow.
It had a feeling that it was about to be shot to death by this arrow.
Sensing death approaching, the white snake wanted to dodge.
However, the body was completely out of control and unable to perform any actions.
It was as if his death was just around the corner!
When Liu Bang saw this scene, for some reason, he felt as if he had lost something very important, and his mood became unusually tense and depressed.
Seeing Tang Yu draw the bowstring taut, he spoke somewhat hastily.
"Brother Zilong, no..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yu made his move.
For some reason, Liu Bang wanted to save the life of the giant white snake.
But to his surprise, Tang Yu did not stop after hearing his words.
Instead, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he suddenly shot the arrow out of his hand.
"brush……"
It is entirely black except for the arrowhead, which is decorated with jewels and precious bird feathers at the end.
It now seems to represent the fate and destiny of the Qin state.
The arrows were aimed at the future Han Dynasty.
The next moment, Tang Yu saw the sharp arrowhead, which was entirely black and resembled the Qin state.
It shot directly into the seven-inch mark of the giant white snake in front of them!
"brush--"
"Roar--"
Tang Yu discovered that the enormous white snake, which was originally twenty or thirty meters tall when it stood upright, suddenly collapsed to the ground and remained motionless.
Yes, although Tang Yu's arrow was not as powerful as a slug, it was still not to be underestimated.
After all, the power of this Sun-Shooting Bow was such that even Xiang Yu might not be able to draw it.
Tang Yu also had a tough time drawing the bow. The Sunset Bow seemed to have been made for Tang Yu, so the arrow he shot was extremely powerful.
This powerful arrow struck and killed the giant white snake instantly.
But now, at the very moment the white snake's figure crashed to the ground.
Tang Yu noticed that the bowstring of the Sunset Bow in his hand had become unusually loose, and an ordinary person could pull it.
Tang Yu understood now. It seemed that the appearance of the Sunset Bow was meant to allow him to shoot and kill the giant white snake.
This enormous white serpent is probably only useful if it dies under the Sunset Bow; if it dies on other weapons, or even on the S686.
This does not mean that he has severed the fate of the Han Dynasty.
Looking at the Sunset Bow, which could be easily used by ordinary people, Tang Yu had already made up his mind.
He will present the Sun-Shooting Bow to Liu Bang in a little while.
After all, he had stolen the white snake that Liu Bang was supposed to kill, so giving him this precious bow and arrow would be a way of making amends.
If Liu Bang knew the truth, he would surely have cursed and swore.
After all, you seized my dynasty, and in the end all you gave me was a bow and arrow?
Who can bear this.
After the white snake groaned and collapsed, it remained motionless for a long time, and all that could be seen was the continuous flow of bright red blood.
At this moment, Xiao He and the others were completely dumbfounded, and Fan Kuai looked at the white snake's figure, which was as thick as a well, in disbelief.
After all, this white snake has a certain imposing presence; some might even believe it to be a white snake immortal!
But now it was killed by Tang Yu's own hands, and Liu Bang, standing to the side, felt inexplicably depressed.
But now that the white snake, who had always posed a threat to him, was finally dead, he felt quite happy.
White Snake: ……
As Lü Zhi gazed at Tang Yu's figure, holding the Sunset Bow, she felt a sense of awe for the peerless hero she had always imagined.
She was even rubbing her legs together, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were misty as she looked at Tang Yu.
At this moment, Tang Yu also put away the Sun-Shooting Bow and walked towards Liu Bang and the others.
Before Tang Yu could even speak upon meeting, Xiao He took the initiative and spoke loudly:
"Brother Zilong, you are truly brave! Even such a ferocious white snake is no match for you!"
"If this story of you shooting him down with an arrow were to reach our Qin Dynasty, it would surely become a legendary tale passed down through generations."
Seeing Xiao He's reaction, Tang Yu slowly typed out a question mark.
However, after a little thought, Tang Yu also felt a bit amused.
He did not covet this empty title, after all, what title could compare to Tang Yu, the national advisor of Qin, who was second only to the emperor?
But the one who slew the snake, Liu Bang, became Zhao Zilong who slew the snake...
How interesting that would be!
After exchanging pleasantries with Liu Bang, Xiao He, and others, Tang Yu looked at Lü Zhi.
Thinking of how the other person had just been chased by the giant white snake, he couldn't help but ask subconsciously.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Zhi almost burst into tears, hugging Tang Yu. However, given that Liu Bang was still beside her, she could only silently shake her head and say something.
"Young Master Zhao, I'm fine."
After nodding, Tang Yu looked at the huge white snake corpse beside him and immediately cut off its head.
At the same time, all of its flesh, blood, and snake gall were collected.
These are all rare and valuable items. Tang Yu plans to have the Black Ice Guards take the rest away.
Speaking of this snake... is it a snake whip?
White Snake: I have *** you *** then ***
