single husband's heart

In the autumn of [-] BC, Qin State, Xianyang.

The main hall of Xianyang Palace is the place where the King of Qin discussed the government affairs with his officials on weekdays.The main hall with glazed tiles and bluestone bricks can't be said to be very gorgeous, but it may have witnessed many major events that have changed the color of the situation in the past century. As soon as he stepped over the high threshold, Xia Wuqie felt a heavy solemnity.

Xia Wuqiu, as Yingzheng's personal medical officer, stepped into this place at the center of power for the first time.

Ying Zheng walked in front of everyone. The officials kneeling on both sides of the aisle in the hall lowered their eyebrows and eyes respectfully. Ying Zheng kept his eyes on the front and did not give anyone a superfluous look.

But when passing by a certain place, the king suddenly paused his pace subtly, and then continued to walk forward with a calm demeanor.

The pause that made Xia Wuqiu's heart lift into his throat was as short as an illusion.

Ying Zheng climbed up the steps, straightened his clothes a little, and sat down squarely behind the case.And Xia Wuqiu and Meng Jia stood at the bottom of the steps, one on the left and one on the right.After all the officials saluted and sat down, Xia Wu could feel the countless probing gazes on him.

A little-known little medical officer was appreciated and promoted by the King of Qin in just a few months. Such an honor naturally attracted attention and made people curious.

Xia Wuju tried his best to hold back the uncomfortable feeling, and straightened his back, but his gaze always unconsciously glanced towards a certain corner of the hall.

"Your Majesty, do you want them to come in?" Seeing that everyone had returned to their seats, Meng Jia asked Ying Zheng.

"Well, pass it on." Ying Zheng nodded slightly.From his calm and calm tone, Xia Wuju couldn't hear any rumors that the king of Qin was happy about the gift to the two of Jing Ke.

Xia Wuqiu didn't think that Ying Zheng, who had always been cautious, would have no doubts and defenses against Jing Ke. Similarly, he didn't think that Jing Ke, who was carrying a burden, could complete such a difficult task by himself.

He remembered what Yan Dan told him in the morning:

"Responsiveness. No matter what, Ying Zheng can't die."

If it were anyone else, it would be impossible to believe that the words were spoken by Yan Dan himself, the Crown Prince of Yan State who sent Jing Ke to assassinate Qin.However, the person who listened to this was Xia Wuqi.He may be surprised, or may be confused, but he has always believed and obeyed Yan Dan's words absolutely, and he has been like this since he was a child.

Thinking of this, Xia Wujue felt extremely heavy in his heart.

Just at the moment when he was distracted, the palace servants had already brought in the envoys.When Xia Wuju looked up, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang were walking slowly towards the throne.

Both of them are wearing official clothes of the Yan Kingdom today, the loose robes slightly concealed their murderous aura, and their solemn and respectful expressions looked like envoys purely expressing their submission.Jing Ke, who was walking in front, was holding the box containing Fan Yuqi's head. The box was obviously not light, but Jing Ke was as calm as holding a plate of food, without trembling at all.

However, when Xia Wuju's eyes turned to Qin Wuyang, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Although the boy was trying his best to maintain a calm expression, the hands holding the box containing the map were trembling slightly.

So what if he killed someone at the age of thirteen, he was still too young.Xia Wuqie sighed inwardly.When I act later, I'm afraid not only won't be able to help, but will also become Jing Qing's burden.

The prince really took great pains. This move will allow the world to see the efforts of Prince Yan to protect the country without actually hurting King Qin's life. This is taking into account the name of the country and the overall situation of the world.Moreover, he could secretly give Ying Zheng an excuse to attack the country of Yan...

Killing three birds with one stone, only hurting himself.

In a blink of an eye, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang had already reached the front of the steps, less than a foot away from Xia Wuqie.Both of them wisely didn't look at Xia Wujue, they just bowed respectfully to the ground.

Xia Wuqi could clearly see the veins popping out of Qin Wuyang's hands.He had a vague premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, when Qin Wuyang straightened up again, his gaze drifted upwards a little, and unexpectedly collided with Ying Zheng's cold and stern gaze.As if stung suddenly by a wasp, the boy trembled all over and took a big step back.

Qin Wuyang lowered his head, bit his lip to suppress the fear in his heart, his face turned blue.His hands clasped the edge of the box tightly, and the knuckles were white from excessive force.

The officials had been staring at the two of them all the time. Seeing Qin Wuyang's change of expression, they all lowered their voices and whispered to each other.

Xia Wuju felt a chill in his heart: Even if Yingzheng believed in the envoy's arrival before, seeing Qin Wuyang's performance now, he must have become suspicious.

Jing Ke naturally also noticed the sudden whispering.He turned his head to look at Qin Wuyang, who was half a step behind him, and saw his unnaturally pale face, and instantly understood what happened.

However, Jing Ke is worthy of being a well-known ranger. He turned to look at Ying Zheng without changing his expression, looked directly at him with a slight smile, and said loudly: "The barbarian of the northern clan has never seen the emperor, so I am intimidated. May your lord A little under the pretense of using it to make Bi Shi come forward.”

Jing Ke's words were not incomprehensible, they not only revealed his respect for Ying Zheng, but also explained Qin Wuyang's abnormality.

But is Ying Zheng really that easy to fool?Xia Wujuan was worried that Ying Zheng's angry reprimand would ring out in the hall in the next second, and the worse result would be that Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang would be taken down directly.

Xia Wu'er felt a drop of cold sweat slowly slipping from the corner of his forehead to the side of his face.

But his premonition did not come true.After a breathless silence, Ying Zheng's calm voice sounded behind Xia Wuqie:

"Take the map held by Wuyang."

"Yes." Jing Ke greeted him respectfully.He turned around and took the box from Qin Wuyang's hand, gave him a comforting look, and walked towards Ying Zheng resolutely.

In Xia Wuju's impression, the short distance of a dozen or so steps took a long time.His heart was in his throat, and when Jing Ke passed by Xia Wuqiu's side, he almost couldn't help stretching out his hand to grab Jing Ke's sleeve.

If Jing Ke's assassination intention is revealed at this time, will this matter be over?Yingzheng will not be in danger, and Yandan will no longer have to bear his responsibilities...

Such thoughts flashed through Xia Wujue's mind.Of course he wasn't stupid enough to really do this, he couldn't expose himself, and he had to fulfill Jing Ke - he was destined to die, at least he had to die heroically.

Ying Zheng took the scroll and slowly opened it.

The ministers present smiled and looked proudly at the scene where Yan Guo expressed his surrender, but five people in the hall held their breath at the same time.

The moment the map was fully opened, a sudden change occurred!

With a flash of cold light, there was a short dagger hidden at the end of the scroll!Before Ying Zheng could react, Jing Ke grabbed King Qin's sleeve like lightning, grabbed the dagger and was about to stab him!

But Yingzheng is by no means the kind of nobleman who has no power to restrain a chicken. In a flash, he suddenly dodges. He broke Ying Zheng's sleeve.

Xia Wuqie secretly heaved a sigh of relief when the blow was missed.As long as Ying Zheng is not subdued in the first place, it will not be so easy for Jing Ke to succeed again.

Xia Wuju looked at Jing Ke with guilt.

Seeing this sudden change, the smiles of everyone in the court froze.The ministers rushed forward in a panic, but they dared not approach Jing Ke because they were unarmed.

"Where are the guards? Someone is assassinating! The guards enter the palace!!" The ministers shouted to the guards outside the hall in panic.

Just after Jing Ke's blow missed, Ying Zheng leaped off the throne neatly, and Jing Ke immediately caught up.In a crisis, Ying Zheng stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and drew it suddenly, but felt something was wrong.

This is not his sword!

Ying Zheng suddenly realized.

Ying Zheng's saber was tailor-made for him, the scabbard was tight enough, and the blade was not so long, so he definitely wouldn't be unable to pull it out.I was a little absent-minded before going to court this morning, and I didn't notice the strangeness of the sword!

In normal times, it would not be a big deal to take the wrong saber, just let Meng Jia punish the palace people.But in the current situation, the wrong sword may directly affect his life!

Someone cooperated with the assassin inside and outside, trying to put him to death!

These disturbing thoughts flashed through Ying Zheng's mind.In this short moment, Jing Ke has already caught up.Although the hall is spacious, it is a bit crowded with all the ministers today.Everyone left their seats and ran around, but they didn't dare to get close to them. Wherever Jing Ke went, the flow of people receded like a tide, and the hall was in chaos for a while.

Seeing that he couldn't run in the hall, Ying Zheng had to turn around and fight Jing Ke.According to the law of Qin, none of the attendants in the hall should carry weapons, and the military officers guarding outside the hall cannot enter the hall without the order of the monarch.At this time, Ying Zheng obviously had no time to give orders, so he fought Jing Ke with bare hands in a haste.

However, the ministers in the hall just gathered around to watch, exclaiming in panic from time to time, no one dared to step forward to help.

Xia Wuqiu was terrified, seeing that Jing Ke's dagger was about to stab Ying Zheng's shoulder, he hurriedly mustered all his strength and threw the medicine bag in his hand towards Jing Ke's arm.Xia Wuqiu was a doctor, and his strength was weak, the medicine bag barely hit Jing Ke's shoulder, although he failed to let his dagger go, but the blade deflected in the direction, only narrowly piercing Ying Zheng's coat.

Jing Ke staggered and stood firm, Ying Zheng had already seen the timing and rushed out.Jing Ke followed closely, and the two walked around the pillar.At the moment of stalemate, a shout came from the crowd:

"King, negative sword!"

The voice passed through the noisy crowd to Ying Zheng's ears.He was taken aback, his eyes widened in disbelief, desperately resisting the urge to turn his head to find that person, he quickly pushed the sword to his back as he said, and pulled out the long blade with his backhand.

With bare hands, Ying Zheng can draw with Jing Ke who is holding a dagger.I saw him turning around and stabbing quickly, fighting with Jing Ke.

Even the well-known Jing Qing, how could a small dagger defeat Ying Zheng's fine sword?After just a dozen or so rounds, Jing Ke was sweating profusely and was exhausted. Ying Zheng cut Jing Ke's left leg with a sharp thrust.

Blood flowed down the trouser legs, soaking the clean and flawless ground.Jing Ke reluctantly threw the dagger at the King of Qin, Ying Zheng dodged hastily, and with a "ding", the dagger was nailed into the copper pillar.

As the battle drew to a close, Jing Ke tried his best to dodge around, but was still stabbed in eight places.

"Give up." Ying Zheng looked at Jing Ke who was covered in blood and said coldly.But his eyes were mixed with some complicated emotions.

"Heh..." Jing Ke leaned exhausted on the copper pillar and laughed softly.

"What?" Ying Zheng asked back.

"Hahahahahahahaha..." Jing Ke's low laugh gradually turned into a loud laugh, and blood choked into his throat, making him cough uncontrollably.He slowly slid down against the pillar and allowed himself to sit on the floor. "Those who fail to do things because they want to survive will get a contract to repay the prince!"

Hearing him talk about Prince Pill, Ying Zheng's indifferent expression became slightly stiff.

"Your mission has been completed. Yan Dan, he will be grateful to you." Ying Zheng whispered.The voice could only be said to be a whisper, even Jing Ke, who was the closest, might not be able to hear it clearly.

"What..." Jing Ke was astonished.

At this time, the guards outside the palace finally arrived, and they rushed forward and tied up Jing Ke.

Ying Zheng took one last look at the astonished Jing Ke, turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Jing Ke turned his head to look at Xia Wuqi.

But Xia Wuche, who didn't dare to look directly at Jing Ke's questioning eyes, could only lower his head guiltily.
