Cangxue Dragon City of Great Qin Dynasty

After all, they are veteran princes. Although the national power of Yan State has been exhausted over the years, they have never been inferior in the field.

Even if they can't defeat Qin State, they can't be weaker in momentum, and, in the eyes of King Yan, they are much more noble than Qin State.

Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qin, among the seven kingdoms, four were established by seizing power. One Chu kingdom was established on its own and then recognized by the Zhou royal family. Now.

However, Qin State was canonized by the Son of Heaven of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and State of Yan was canonized by the Son of Heaven of the Western Zhou Dynasty. They have gone through an entire era longer than Qin State. Up to now, only Yan State is left in the Ji surnamed country.

Because of this, Yan State has always regarded itself very highly, and when it came to Ji Xi's place, it was even more desperate to save face. Therefore, even if it was only envoys who came, they did not lack the posture they should have at all.

Yan Zhi returned to Xianyang City from the camp outside the city one day earlier. When he came back, he specially transferred many people from the army. Jing Ke came to Xianyang. If he didn't do something, he would be sorry for his reputation.

Wang Jian and others are about to lead their troops back. Instead of returning to Xianyang at this moment, it is better to change the direction and go directly to Liaodong.

It will be inconvenient to send troops from Guanzhong at that time, and it will be obviously closer to go directly from Yanmen Pass in Daijun. As long as they cross Yishui, Dukang will be gone in Yan State, and the Qin army will have no obstacles at all in Yan State.

Ji Dan dared to send Jing Ke here. He had no idea that if the assassination failed, Qin's army would go towards Yan, or... He never thought about the possibility of failure at all.

For Ji Dan, Yan Zhi didn't dare to have any extravagant hopes. If he dared to assassinate, he had to be prepared to bear Qin's anger. Ying Zheng's temper was not as harmless as it appeared.

If An'an worked hard to improve the national strength of the Yan State, instead of thinking about using crooked methods to avoid danger, it is not impossible for the Yan State to survive for a few more years.

However, Ji Dan chose the most stupid way.

For nearly a hundred years, people with lofty ideals from all over the world have come to Qin. Where did he have the confidence to think that a ranger he randomly found could kill Ying Zheng in the heavily guarded Xianyang Palace?

Even if Yingzheng is gone in Qin State, so many generals are still there, it is not impossible to destroy Yan State in a fit of anger and then return to the civil war. He always thinks about things and only expects the best result. How can there be such a good result in the world? thing?

Shaking his head and putting these things aside, Yan Zhi sighed, and didn't want to waste his brain on it.

Ji Dan has had extreme thoughts since he was a child, and when they met last time, he was focused on confronting Ying Zheng. I'm afraid his mind is even more paranoid now.

Qin State and Yan State, if Yan State can be like Qin State and has been aiming to win the Central Plains for hundreds of years, it is not impossible for several generations of Yan Kings to work hard for it.

It's just that they all think it's good to keep the fief. There have been ambitious kings, but they were quickly defeated by their successors, and they couldn't save any wealth.

It is also God's will.

The envoys of the Yan Kingdom went straight into the post house after they arrived. They brought Dukang's map with them. With this thing in their hands, they would not say anything even if they were a bit out of line with the King of Qin.

Jing Ke received a lot of courtesy in the country of Yan. Ji Dan offered him as a savior, and gave him the best of everything. He stayed in the post house for a few days with his identity, but he, the envoy officially entrusted by Ji Dan Not to mention taking the initiative to meet King Qin.

Confucianism violates the law with literature, and chivalry violates the law with martial arts. Rangers have always despised the law, relying on their own abilities to think that everything they do is right. Everything that hinders them is a test from heaven. It's like nothing to them.

Therefore, Yan Zhi never had a good impression of this kind of person.

Jing Ke didn't take Ying Zheng seriously, but the other people accompanying him didn't have such a big heart. They came to offer land for self-protection, not to make revenge.

At this time, all the people who were sent to Qin State were the confidantes of the King of Yan. They were very clear about the purpose of this time, offering Du Kang to protect Yan State from being attacked by Qin State.

Therefore, in order to avoid any problems among the envoys, only a few people knew the real purpose of Jing Ke's visit to Qin.

No matter how daring Ji Dan was, he would not dare to reveal his thoughts to the public. Qin's secret works spread all over the world. If he dared to reveal the matter, the King of Qin would receive the news.

Although his plan has been exposed now, Jing Ke doesn't know.

Eyeliners were put on the bright and dark places of the posthouse. These envoys could not escape the eyes of King Qin no matter what they wanted to do. However, Yingzheng had a strong interest in Du Kang, so he let them visit officials in Xianyang.

Officials who can stay in Xianyang City, not to mention other things, are sure of their loyalty to the Qin State. They may be a little cautious, but they will never be unclear about major issues.

The wind and waves in the post house were calm, and after a few days of delay, the envoys of the Yan State tried their best to finally confirm the time to meet the King of Qin, and Jing Ke finally agreed to present the map.

King Qin hadn't had an attack for so many days, so he must have attached great importance to the map in his hand. In this way, his chances of success will be higher.

A scholar died for a confidant, and his life is worthwhile if the prince's long-cherished wish can be fulfilled.

Different from Jing Ke's thoughts, the other envoys finally got the chance to meet the King of Qin after traveling for several days. They only thought that there is no unparalleled road, and that they can achieve their goals by spending some gold and silver. This is not too bad a thing.

When the situation is not too severe, envoys from various countries come and go very frequently, and the envoys who have handed over the letter of credence represent the monarch, and the standard of reception is only a little worse than that of the king himself. .

But under the current circumstances, sending envoys to other countries is a fatal errand. Even if the two armies do not kill the envoys, once the relationship between the two countries deteriorates due to his own negligence, the monarch of his country will never let the envoys go.

The ideas of the two sides are completely different. What is rare is that there was no discrepancy before meeting the King of Qin. Such and such is also rare.

The number of guards in Xianyang Palace has tripled. If anything happens during the audience, these soldiers can directly take down all the envoys from the Kingdom of Yan.

Yan Zhi stayed in the palace by himself, and after discussing with Ying Zheng, he sent other people to the post house. Once an incident happened here, everyone who stayed in the post house would be taken down.

It was just dawn, and the young Qin King in a black and red crown suit had a calm demeanor, ready for an accident to happen later.

Next to him, Commander Yan in Xuanjia was fully armed, with a cold face standing there full of deterrence, and found a bamboo slip full of things written on the desk, Ying Zheng walked up to Yan Zhi and smiled, "Come on, have a look." what's written on it."

They have found enough information these days, and they don't know what else they don't know. Yan Zhi looked at the bamboo slips handed to him, and the helplessness in his eyes flashed away.

What is written on it is nothing else, but anecdotes about Jing Ke's previous travels around the world.

That man was originally a descendant of Qi Guoqing's family, and later moved to Wei State, and then changed his surname to Jing.It is said that Jing Ke likes fencing, and once tried to persuade Wei Yuanjun with his sword skills, but it was of no use, Wei Yuanjun didn't like him.

When passing through Yuci, I met Gai Nie, a master of swordsmanship. Gai Nie gave him a stare and frightened him away. He went to Handan to argue with Lu Goujian about the number of games. He was reprimanded and then ran away quietly. .

Then, he was recommended to Ji Dan by Yan Guotian Guang as a hero in the world.

Squeezing his chin and thinking for a while, Yan Zhi looked sideways at Ying Zheng, "If I remember correctly, that swordsman named Gai Nie came to Xianyang before."

He has an impression of this name, so he should not be some unknown person.

Ying Zheng nodded, rolled up the bamboo slips and said, "It is true that I have been to Xianyang, but the laws of Qin State are strict, and swordsmen who cannot accept restraint will not do any good to stay here."

It was still early, the two of them first talked about Jing Ke, and then they talked about the swordsmen in the world, but in the end Yan Zhi dragged them to the point that people who are self-sufficient and don't put ordinary people in their eyes are not good things.

In just a few words, it was clear that Yan Zhi didn't have a good impression of those people, and Ying Zheng put a hand on his shoulder, indicating that he thought so too.

As a king, how could he expect a group of people to do whatever they want outside the law?

Not far away, Zhao Gao, who was obedient at any time, looked at the two people who stood together very well, blinked and then continued to look down at his toes.

Maybe it was his delusion, why did he feel that the king and the young master have been more disregarding the feelings of the people around them when they are together recently, and they would cover up some things in the past, but now they have the feeling that even if they stand in front of the world, they can still act like no one else illusion of intimacy.

No, this is not an illusion.

The world belongs to the king, so why should you care about the feelings of others.

He really wanted to hide outside but couldn't, until the servant came to remind him that it was almost time, Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to remind the master who didn't pay any attention to himself.

Realizing that the time was almost up, Ying Zheng straightened his clothes, and then took the lead to head outside towards the hall.

Hearing that the envoy from Yan had arrived, the king of Qin took court clothes and set up nine guests to meet the envoy in Xianyang Palace.

The courtiers were already waiting in the hall, and Yan Zhi, who was following behind, glanced around, just about to say that he took a detour to enter from the outside, but was immediately led into the hall by King Qin who sensed his intention.

Knowing that Yan Zhi would not get too close to him at this time, Ying Zheng didn't force him, but just pointed to the place under the steps and whispered something.

Looking in that direction, and thinking of where the envoy of the Yan Kingdom would stand later, Yan Zhi nodded, and then quietly walked to his own place after the man walked up.

Of course, this silence was only his own thought. With so many people in the hall, everyone was staring ahead. The arrival of King Qin attracted most of the attention. Naturally, this Xuanjia general with a strong sense of presence would not be ignored by people.

The envoys of the Yan Kingdom have arrived, and the king is still so close to Young Master Yan. Does this mean that the envoys should not be too embarrassing for a while?

Most of the people thought this way, looked at each other quietly and decided to play by ear later.

In the court hall, although there are few people in the clan, they are not without it. They know what Ying Zheng is thinking. Seeing him and Yan Zhi coming together without any concealment, they are also prepared after looking at each other. .

When the envoys from the Yan Kingdom came, they did not forget to call Young Master Zhi back, the king should have his own plans in mind, should they prepare for the king's marriage?

No one would underestimate this young but extremely sophisticated King Qin, especially those from his clan, let alone treat him as an ignorant puppet.

In the past, Lu Buwei held himself back and didn't take the king seriously, and in the end, his family was exiled. The king who just took over the government has such courage, let alone the current king.

Glancing across the palace at the courtiers with different expressions, Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze and raised his hand to signal that the time had come.

Seeing the gesture of their king, the servant next to him took two steps forward, and then shouted loudly, "The envoy of Xuanyan Kingdom has an audience—"

The voice spread outside layer by layer, and then, after being persuaded by the accompanying people for a long time, he reluctantly agreed to change into a formal upper and lower clothes, and Jing Ke, who had an audience with the King of Qin, strode in through the palace gate with his head held high. Next to him, a young man who dared not look up followed with a tray in his hand. , It took the greatest effort to barely stabilize his hands.

When the two of them reached the steps, the cold sweat dripped down the face of the young man named Qin Wuyang uncontrollably.

The corners of his mouth raised and he folded his arms to look at the two people who came over. Yan Zhi didn't speak, just wanted to see how long this young man who could kill at such a young age could last.

Glancing at the trembling Qin Wuyang, a trace of disdain flashed in Jing Ke's eyes, and then he bowed to the top as usual, "We have never experienced such a solemn scene, so we lost our composure. I hope the king will forgive me."

Unable to say anything but bowing his head and saluting, Qin Wuyang almost lost control of his body.

Since he was young, he was able to kill people without being punished by the government. Naturally, he has his own merits. Although the king of Qin has not spoken, he has a feeling that their plan today will never succeed.

His beating heart reminded him all the time that the man above him was the King of Qin who had destroyed three countries not long ago. What's more, he was surrounded by important ministers of Qin State. Under such circumstances, he couldn't help but not be afraid.

Under the cover of a string of beads, King Qin's expression could not be seen clearly, and he lightly clasped the table in front of him with his fingers. Seeing Jing Ke who was not afraid even in the hall, Ying Zheng paused, and then said in a deep voice, "It's okay."

If you mind, there is no way to perform the next play.

A sneer flashed in his eyes, Yan Zhi put down his hand and turned his wrist, waiting to hear what Jing Ke could say next.

What they hate the most when they are soldiers are these guys who rely on their own martial arts to be arrogant. They feel good when they fight. Is there anyone who cares about the civilians who are accidentally injured?

Sensing the undisguised gaze from the side, Jing Ke glanced at the extremely dangerous young general not far away in black armor, his pupils constricted for a moment and then quickly returned to normal.

Holding the map box in Qin Wuyang's hand, Jing Ke spoke again respectfully, "In order to prevent wars between Qin and Yan, my king specially offered the land around Dukang. This is the map of Dukang. The superior allowed the ministers to present it with their own hands."

The hall fell into silence for a moment, Ying Zheng didn't speak, and neither did the other ministers. It seemed that after a long time, a chuckle finally broke the silence.

"For the sake of solemnity, why don't I send the map by myself."

Walking to Jing Ke's side with a half smile but not a smile, Yan Zhi spoke in a gentle manner, not at all affected by the serious atmosphere in the hall.

However, when he opened his mouth, everyone in the hall, except Jing Ke, had a word in their hearts: finally came...

I don't know, so looking at the Xuanjia general who came to the front and wanted to take the box away, Jing Ke took a step back to protect the map, "What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

Squinting his eyes and looking at the vigilant Jing Ke, Yan Zhi raised his eyebrows, "You don't know who I am?"

It's interesting that Yan Guo came to envoy, but he didn't know who he was.

Seeing Yan Zhi stand up, I felt an ominous premonition in my heart, and the feeling was even more obvious after he spoke. He pulled Jing Ke's sleeve without a trace, and Qin Wuyang lowered his head and said in an inaudible voice, "My lord, this is me." Young Master Yan holds it."

Before coming here, he had already inquired about the matter of Young Master Zhi being in Qin, and it was obvious that this lord was not paying attention when they were talking about it, otherwise he would not have failed to recognize Young Master Zhi.

Among the generals in the state of Qin who were able to hold Xuanjia, only the young master was the only one who took a step back cautiously. Qin Wuyang could almost imagine what would happen next.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Jing Ke's expression became a little unnatural. Proton personally sent the map, and an envoy sent the map with him, which made much less sense.

The corners of his lips rose and he stepped forward again, Yan Zhi stretched out his hand, motioning for Jing Ke to give him the box, "Jing Qing thinks this young master is not qualified?"

Thinking of the dagger sealed inside the map, Jing Ke twitched the corners of his mouth with difficulty, trying to maintain his expression, "My lord, you are joking, it is safer for me to deliver this thing myself."

The things hidden inside must never be taken out by other people's hands.

"Really?" Looking up at Jing Ke, who was not calm just now, Yan Zhi sneered, and unexpectedly grabbed the box with all his strength and pushed him to the ground.

There was an uproar in the hall, Qin Wuyang retreated again and again, Jing Ke tried to struggle, but he couldn't shake the arm that was holding him.

"What are you doing, son?"

Staring fixedly at the soles of the shoes in front of him and then yelling loudly, Jing Ke looked up at the person in front of him with great effort, an imperceptible panic flashed in his eyes.

Their affairs are so secretive that they will not leak the news. It should not be what I imagined.

However, what happened next made him completely break the fluke in his heart.

Yan Zhi restrained the person with one hand, opened the box with the other hand, and then took one end to shake out the contents very calmly.

The dagger coated with poison rolled down on the hall, and the crisp sound was especially clear in the quiet hall.

Glancing at the surrounding ministers who hadn't reacted yet, Yan Zhi waved his hand, and the black-armored warrior who had been lying in wait for a long time rushed up from the side hall.

Simply and neatly removed all of Jing Ke's arms and chin, Yan Zhi clapped his hands and stood up, ignoring the dagger next to him, put the map into the box and sent it to Ying Zheng.

Looking at Yan Zhi's actions in disbelief, Jing Ke couldn't understand why the son of Yan would prevent him from assassinating the King of Qin.

He came here under the order of Crown Prince Yan. As a native of Yan, how could this person be so ignorant?

If it wasn't for the fact that his chin had been removed, Jing Ke would have started to curse at this time, but now, he could only express his anger with his eyes.

With no chance to use his strength, he was dragged down by the black-armored warrior without any resistance. Yan Zhi sent the map to Ying Zheng, nodded and glanced back, "These two men entered the hall with murder weapons , it is obvious that the evil intentions are exposed, go and invite other envoys of the Yan Kingdom to come over."

After finishing speaking, as if nothing had happened just now, Yan Zhi stepped back to where he was standing just now, and continued to guard the king of Qin above him as usual.

If you want to assassinate in front of him, go practice for decades, and erase everything about Jing Ke assassinating Qin.

In the blink of an eye, an assassination that was supposed to cause chaos was resolved just like that. The ministers below looked at the black-armored warriors hurrying back and forth, and then at the domineering young master Zhi, and finally they all turned their eyes away by coincidence. On the body of Wang Shang whose expression is unknown above.

Regardless of whether they knew about the relationship between the two of them, a thought clearly appeared in everyone's mind.

You can't mess with the young master.

There is no one who is so arrogant in front of the king except this one, and this one is completely indulged by their king.

Those who knew the inside story nodded their heads, and then cheered up and waited for the other envoys from the Kingdom of Yan to come.

Although the king was extremely firm in deciding his marriage, but Yan Zhi's status was placed here, so they couldn't help but think about it.

If they are really stuck together with the young master, how should they get along with Yan Guo?

Now it seems that they don't need to worry about it. Wang Shangxiong is a general, and he will not delay his great cause because of the love of his children. Moreover, Commander Yan's decisive appearance is carved out of the same mold as their king.

When these two people get together, they don't seem to be able to talk about love.

......

Suddenly, he found that the eyes on him were a bit strange, Yan Zhi's whole body became colder, his sharp eyes scanned around, and he slowly looked away after those people turned their eyes away.

In public, why don't you think about what to do next, why are your eyes glued to him?

The envoys of the Yan Kingdom who were waiting quietly outside the palace panicked after Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang were dragged out. They didn't know what happened, so they bravely stepped forward to ask something, but they were met by the gleaming spear It was blocked back.

No one guessed what happened until he was brought into the hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely strange, King Qin didn't say a word, and the courtiers below all lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

Suddenly, the sharp-eyed person saw the dagger lying alone under the steps, and a shocking guess suddenly appeared in his heart. He opened his mouth tremblingly and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

On the throne, Ying Zheng, who had never reacted, finally took his hand away from the map made of sheepskin, and then slowly raised his head to look at the trembling envoy of Yan Kingdom, who was about to lose his balance, "Your envoy is assassinating in court, Do you guys have an explanation?"

The deep voice was recalled in the hall, not only made Yan flustered, but even the courtiers standing below couldn't help lowering their heads even lower.

Why suddenly there was a feeling that the king and Young Master Zhi had known something in advance, so they dug a hole for the envoys of the Yan Kingdom.

As usual, when envoys from other countries came to have an audience, a fierce debate in the hall would be indispensable, but now, everyone unanimously chose to return the home court to their king.

The envoys of the Yan Kingdom are not yet the opponents of their king, so if they open their mouths at this moment, they can only be in the way.

Glancing at His Highness's ministers, Ying Zheng curled his lips, and then turned his eyes back to the envoy of Yan Kingdom.

I don't know why Jing Ke would suddenly assassinate King Qin when it was so important to meet him. The envoys of the Kingdom of Yan hurriedly explained, trying to make it clear that they had no intention of harming King Qin. A map of the Dukang area.

However, even if what they said was true and the assassination had already happened, they would have to bear the consequences.

Without saying a word and waiting for them to finish speaking, Ying Zheng got up and walked to the steps, picked up the dagger on the ground and played with it for a while, then said, "Go back and tell King Yan that I will accept this great gift from him."

Seeing King Qin's normal expression, the envoy of Yan State breathed a sigh of relief, but when he was about to say something more, he heard the person in front of him speak again.

"Just pretend that you don't know about this matter, I don't want your life, but my country, Qin, is not to be bullied. Please send a message to all the envoys, the army of Qin's army will arrive soon, so that King Yan can get ready."

His face turned pale in an instant, Envoy Yan opened his eyes wide and looked at King Qin who calmly decided their life and death, and unconsciously turned his gaze to Yan Zhi next to him, "My lord..."

Happy New Year's Day everyone, I am late for replacement, I am guilty, I repent, let's give out red envelopes today.
