Zhao Guo, Handan.
The palace and the main hall are empty.
Under the throne of King Zhao Yan, stood Guo Kai.
"...Prince Dan of Yan has secretly entered Qin."
Guo Kaidao: "I have contacted various countries, and the attitude of the Yan people is the most vague, swinging back and forth. They are waiting and watching, and have not made a decision yet.
Prince Dan visited Qin at this time, probably because he wanted to observe the attitude of the Qin people before deciding whether to participate in the reunification proposed by the king."
"Qi Ren didn't respond either."
Zhao Yan said in a deep voice: "I am willing to return the three cities of Jing, Xiang, and Ji that I previously occupied to the Yan people, but they are still unwilling to attack Qin, so I can't blame me for being cruel."
"Guo Kai, please make preparations to set up an ambush and kill Prince Dan when he leaves Qin and returns to Yan. Then the news spreads that the people of Qin knew that Yan was going to join forces with Zhao and killed Prince Yan.
I don’t believe that King Xi of Yan will cooperate with the Qin people even if he knows that Prince Dan has been killed.”
Zhao Yan said: "The unification of the five kingdoms cannot be concealed from the people of Qin. In this case, it is better to spread the news as soon as possible, which will also be a deterrent to the people of Qin."
"If Prince Yan had not reached an agreement with the people of Qin, he would have cooperated with Zhao. Wouldn't it be a pity to intercept him at this time?" Guo Kai said.
"Prince Yan is just a pawn. Whether he agrees to join forces with Zhao to attack Qin is not important. What matters is what King Yan thinks." Zhao Yan said gloomily.
Guo Kai nodded and went to make arrangements.
In the palace, Zhao Yan looked far away and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Hui Ji."
From the back hall, a woman walked out after hearing the voice. She was the beloved concubine that Zhao Yan had been obsessed with in recent years: "Why does the king call Hui Ji?"
"Go and inform the demon clan that I want to plot against Qin. Ask the demon master if he is willing to cooperate with me?"
Hui Ji was surprised and said: "The king is joking, how can Hui Ji inform the demon clan?"
On the ancient clock hanging beside Zhao Yanshen, there were symbols that shimmered:
"You came back from the wedding last year, and a vague fragrance gradually appeared on your body, which made people addicted to it. Don't you know why? Go ahead and tell the Demon Lord the news and see how she responds to me.
If you dare to deny it, I will kill you now."
Hui Ji's expression changed several times. After a moment, a hint of dark green appeared in her eyes, and immediately demonic energy overflowed from her body and flew away into the sky.
Zhao Yan raised the corners of his mouth, his face obscured by the shadows in the palace: "This time, I not only want to plot against Qin, but also want to destroy the country of Qin."

Xianyang.
Jingqian Palace.
Prince Dan sat in the palace and took a bamboo slip handed out by his attendant.
"The news that the prince has asked the ministers to pay attention to is not difficult to check. Almost everyone in Xianyang knows it. Prince, please take a look."
Prince Dan responded and took the bamboo slip:
"...On the outskirts of Xianyang, there are four animal houses for breeding black-faced dogs. Starting from the year before last, Zhao Huaizhong, who was the prince of Qin at the time, sent people into the mountains to capture wild black-faced dogs and raise them..."
The attendant smiled and said: "Before the Lord of Qin took over the power of Qin, as the prince of a country, he actually personally ordered the capture of the black-faced man for livestock breeding."
"It is said that at that time he also forced some Qin troops to participate in entering the mountains to capture the black-faced man.
The scene of Da Qin's general Yong arresting the black-faced man in the mountains makes Wei Chen laughable when he thinks about it."
Prince Dan glanced at the attendant: "What's so funny.
In two years, the number of black-faced men who searched the Qin Kingdom was only two thousand, but now the number has doubled.
Starting this year, the Qin people distributed black-faced cubs in several counties near Xianyang to encourage breeding.
Raising black-faced men was one of the means he used to strengthen Qin."
Prince Dan's face was gloomy, and he continued to pay attention to the messages on the bamboo slips in his hands:
"As early as four years ago, Mu Yangjing joined forces with Qin Chu to study fruit tree planting. As of this year, Qin is distributing fruit tree seeds throughout the country...
When the Zheng Guo Canal is completed... the grain output of Qin will be more than six times greater than before. No wonder people from all over the world are entering Qin."
"Prince, the time has come for Lord Qin to summon us to Xianyang Palace."
A quarter of an hour later, Prince Dan, led by his attendants, walked into the Xianyang Palace and saw Zhao Huaizhong again.
The moment he entered the palace, Prince Dan felt complicated.
The last time I saw him, the Lord of Qin in front of me was still the Crown Prince of Qin. Now he is the Lord of Qiang Qin, a Saint of the Three Realms.
An idea suddenly came to Prince Dan's mind, and it quickly became clear - he could use Qin's power to defeat Zhao first.
However, once the attack on Zhao is successful, the Yan people must first get rid of the leader of Qin before they directly face the powerful Qin.
