When Li Xiuyuan and Xiao Hei arrived at the shore of Mercury Lake, they saw only diffuse rain and mist and vast lake water, with not a single pedestrian in sight.

The long road through Xiongguan was as solid as iron. Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang rode in carriages and arrived at the gate of the palace.

The imperial guards guarding them had already received the imperial order from the palace. After carefully searching the two men's bodies, the imperial guards took them deep into the palace.

Li Xiuyuan and Xiao Hei sat down at an old tree by the lake. The old tree's crown was like an umbrella, and its newly grown leaves were densely packed and thick, blocking the spring rain all over the sky.

The Buddha's light never dissipated and enveloped the two people. Even pedestrians passing by could not see their faces clearly.

Jing Ke, who was as cold as lake water, and Qin Wuyang, who was uneasy, followed the imperial army and waited outside the Golden Palace.

The ministers of the previous dynasty had already discussed with the king in the Golden Palace.

Sitting quietly by the lake, Li Xiuyuan sighed softly, took out the guqin, took out a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the strings and body of the qin.

Xiao Hei's spirit also left the lake at this moment and headed towards the Golden Palace in the palace.

He frowned and said, "Brother, there are two men in black outside the Golden Palace. Are they the ones you are looking for?"

Li Xiuyuan held the guqin in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Whatever you saw today, don't tell the teacher or Shuzi when you go back, not even Zhang Liang."

Xiao Hei nodded: "Don't worry, brother, do you want Xiao Hei to help them?"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "No, just take a look." Xiao Hei nodded silently, knowing that his brother had brought him to watch the fun today.

And I can’t tell Zhang Lianghe the teacher after reading it.

The spring rain all over the sky could not fly into the golden palace of the palace. A voice sounded from the golden palace, but it was the King of Qin who had ordered Jing Ke to enter the palace to offer treasures after the early dynasty.

Then the eunuch of the imperial army shouted and summoned the two men into the palace.

Jing Ke arranged his clothes and held the box containing Fan Yuqi's head. Qin Wuyang held the box containing the map and entered the palace one by one.

When they arrived at the Golden Palace, they could feel King Qin's might even from a distance of ten feet, and Qin Wuyang suddenly trembled.

Xiao Hei sighed and said, "Brother, why is that tiger-looking man as timid as a cat?"

Li Xiuyuan sighed: "A ruthless person may not be a true hero. How can a pity for a son not be a husband!"

By the mercury lake, Li Xiuyuan was stroking the strings of the piano under the old tree. He wanted to play a unique requiem in heaven and earth to bid farewell to the hero.

Under the Golden Palace, Jing Ke retreated from Qin Wuyang, holding the box containing Fan Yuqi's head and presenting it to the King of Qin.

The King of Qin ordered Jing Ke to open the box, but he only took one look and shouted: "Yes, this is the head of the thief. I will be rewarded after reading the map."

Jing Ke turned around and took the map held by Qin Wuyang, stepped forward and held it for King Qin to slowly unfold.

King Qin glared at Qin Wuyang: "Is there something wrong with you? Why are you trembling?"

Qin Wuyang was shocked when he heard this and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Jing Ke sighed and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This guy is just a rough man. When have you ever seen the majesty of the Emperor?"

"What a man, this is the hero in the world!" Xiao Hei shouted softly.

Li Xiuyuan did not speak, but plucked the strings with his fingers, and a soul-soothing sound was like a sword, piercing the vast rain and fog on the mercury lake, spreading towards the sky and towards the palace.

In the rain and fog, every note between Li Xiuyuan's fingers was like a sharp sword being drawn out of its sheath!

Every note is like a hero who never regrets, who will kill demons even if he dies!

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan's fingers were no longer the notes of the world, but the determination of the brave warrior of Yan to assassinate Qin, and a heart to die without regrets!

Every note is like a solemn Buddhist sutra flying into the sky, flying towards the golden palace in the palace, as if to calm Qin Wuyang's uneasy heart and protect Jing Ke who lowered his eyebrows to present the picture.

In an instant, Li Xiuyuan saw in a trance that Jing Ke, who was stained with blood in the golden palace, let out a roar!

Xiao Hei, who was standing by, felt anger rising in his chest.

Feeling that Xiao Hei was about to go berserk, Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to turn his fingers and turn the sound of the piano into the sloping rain in front of him, filling the air with bits of resentment.

He shouted in a deep voice: "Xiao Hei, that is not your battlefield."

Xiao Hei was startled, and immediately stopped his thoughts of going berserk, and shouted: "Brother, King Qin is looking at the picture."

A requiem that comes from the human world, but is not from the human world, pierced the heavy spring rain, passed through the high-walled hall, and floated into the golden palace of the early dynasty of King Qin.

Jing Ke, who was holding a map in his hand, was startled when he heard the sound. The Divine Comedy by the Yishui River echoed in the imperial city again today. He couldn't help but mutter: "I saw you off yesterday, and it's Qingming today, thank you."

A code of heaven's voice can calm the soul, but it cannot calm the current King of Qin. How can the emperor who is destined by heaven be afraid of ghosts and gods?

The anxious King of Qin frowned and continued to slowly unfold the map in Jingke's hand...

Seeing Tu Qiong Dagger, Jing Ke grabbed King Qin's sleeve with his left hand and wanted to stab him with the dagger in his right hand.

The King of Qin was startled, and after a struggle he tore off his sleeve. He wanted to draw his sword, but the sword was six feet long. The anxious King of Qin could not draw out the sword.

For a while, Jing Ke chased the King of Qin, and the King of Qin had to run around the pillars of the Golden Palace. Qin Wuyang had collapsed to the ground.

The incident happened suddenly, and all the officials were shocked but did not dare to set foot in the Golden Palace, because this was a rule set by the emperor, and no one dared to disobey it.

The ministers on the left and right were so anxious that they had to shout: "Your Majesty, put the sword on your back quickly..."

King Qin ran around the pillar three times, and finally drew out the long sword in his hand. Then he thrust the sword at Jing Ke, and the sword shot out like lightning and cut off Jing Ke's left leg.

Jing Ke was seriously injured and fell to the ground. Seeing that he could not count on Qin Wuyang, he had no choice but to throw out the dagger with a wave of his hand, flying towards the King of Qin like lightning.

In desperation, the dagger did not hurt King Qin, but penetrated into the pillar of the main hall.

In anger, the King of Qin pointed his sword at Qin Wuyang, who was paralyzed on the ground, and stabbed Jing Ke until his body was covered with wounds. He was particularly angry.

He roared angrily: "I am ordered by heaven, how can I be harmed by you and other villains?"

Jing Ke, who was lying in a pool of blood, pointed at the King of Qin and cursed angrily: "Jing Ke cursed with his life, and the second generation of Qin died!"

The King of Qin was furious and struck again with his sword. Jing Ke instantly bled out and turned into a bloody man.

By the side of Mercury Lake, under the old trees.

The sound of resentment between Li Xiuyuan's fingers suddenly changed into a faint sound of calling for souls, hidden in the wind and rain.

Xiao Hei slapped the old tree with his palm and shouted: "Brother, that guy is going to die."

With a ding-dong sound, a divine song that suppressed the heaven and earth echoed in the sky. The sky was suddenly filled with clouds, and black clouds pressed down on the city.

The green grass and flowers on the banks of Mercury Lake gradually withered in an instant, and even the new leaves above the two of them seemed to fall one after another, and the old trees instantly turned into dead branches.

A requiem made the people of the imperial city change their minds after hearing it, and countless people fell asleep.

Even the fish and birds in the lake have fled away, fearing that they will be stunned by the divine song in the next moment.

The song was so soul-stirring that the Imperial City's Mercury Lake instantly lost its vitality.

Li Xiuyuan stared blankly into space and murmured: "Sister, if I see a headless man in black crossing the bridge, please point him to the Yangguan Avenue so that he will not fall into the evil path again..."

On top of the Golden Palace, King Qin came to his senses and summoned his guards to come forward. A flurry of swords slashed at Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang.

In Huangquan Village, it was Haishi, and Po Meng, dressed in a white dress, was heading to Wangchuan River. She looked into the sky and murmured: "Brother, when will you come to see your sister?"

After playing the piano three times, Li Xiuyuan murmured back: "I don't know either? I have to ask my master about this."

Hearing this, Po Meng said: "If you come back next time and stay longer, why don't you stay on the bridge for me for a hundred years..."

Fluttering and flickering, a ray of divine voice continued between heaven and earth, taking the master and servant who lost their lives, leaving the Imperial City of Qin and heading all the way to Wangchuan and Huangquan.

The king of Qin was extremely frightened and ordered the city gates to be closed tightly to arrest the assassin's accomplices!

By the side of Mercury Lake, the drizzle in the sky stopped without knowing when.

Pedestrians passing by saw only two people under the dead tree, dressed in white as the snow. The spring breeze blew by, and the mercury lake returned to the long winter in an instant, and there was no trace of life everywhere.

Putting away the guqin, Li Xiuyuan looked in the direction of the palace and murmured softly: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold. A strong man will never return once he is gone!"

The lingering sound of the piano penetrated the wind and rain and floated into the ears of Zhang Liang, the master who was sitting quietly in the guest room on the snow-capped mountains.

Zhang Liang was startled, looked at his master and said, "Teacher, why is my brother's song so tragic? I almost lost my soul by him."

The master frowned and said quietly: "Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin. Both master and servant were killed on the spot and went to hell."

Zhang Liang was startled, looked at his master and said blankly: "It's over now. Could it be that my brother already knew it?!"

The Master looked at the palace at the foot of the mountain and said: "His way is different from that of you and my master and disciple, so don't ask him."

Zhang Liang frowned and asked, "Why is this?"

The master said quietly: "Jing Ke and the two assassinated the Qin Dynasty for the Yan Dynasty, and Li Xiuyuan sang a divine song to see them off by the bank of Mercury Lake."

Before the master finished speaking, Li Xiuyuan spurted out a mouthful of blood by the mercury lake, dyeing his clothes as red as snow.

The eye-catching red is like the pear blossoms on the branches that refuse to leave.

…

When Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin, the king of Qin was furious and ordered his general Wang Jian to attack Yan.

Prince Dan of Yan led troops to resist, but the military strength of the two sides was simply incomparable, and the Qin army finally passed through the Yishui River.

When the Qin army captured Ji, the capital of the Yan state, King Xi and Prince Dan fled to Liaodong County. The King of Qin sent General Li Xin to lead an army to pursue him, vowing to capture Prince Dan and not give up until he was killed.

In order to protect himself, the King of Yan hanged Prince Dan to death and offered Prince Dan's head to the King of Qin to purify his life.

Even so, it was only a temporary escape from death.

However, the King of Qin never got what he wanted. The army finally sent its troops north to attack Liaodong, captured the King of Yan, and the Yan Kingdom fell.
