Qin Wangzheng is sitting beside the case. He is wearing a royal robe with twelve chapters of the sun, moon and stars on his body, and a heavy crown on his head, which is seven inches wide and one foot and two inches long, with beads hanging down from it.
He was holding a bamboo slip in his hand, his eyes bright and alert, and he was reading the text on the slip carefully.
After a while, he put down the bamboo slips and looked at Meng Jia, the concubine who was waiting nearby.
"The envoy Yan has arrived?"
Qin Wangzheng's voice is plain, but it has a kind of fearsome power. This is the majesty formed by being in the upper position for a long time.
"only."
Meng Jia responded respectfully: "Envoy Yan arrived yesterday and is waiting to be received by the king."
Seeing King Qin slightly nodding his head and not saying much, Meng Jia boldly said: "I heard that King Yan was so frightened that he was afraid of the majesty of the king and dared not sleep peacefully day and night."
"Oh? King Yan also knows the power of the few." King Qin seemed to be a little interested.
Meng Jia quickly responded: "Only. The day before yesterday, the general led his army to destroy Zhao, and the army was stationed in Zhongshan. The might of our Qin army was pointed directly at Yishui, like a sharp sword hanging over the head of King Yan. He was frightened day and night, for fear that the king would destroy him.
Sheji."
"Therefore, the King of Yan did not dare to send out troops to resist our Qin soldiers. He was willing to surrender the whole country and become the King's ministers, paying taxes like a direct subordinate county. He only hoped that the King could avoid the danger of its collapse and let the Yan Kingdom
I can guard the ancestral temple of the late king and preserve the blood of Ji surname."
King Qin smiled coldly and said nothing.
Meng Jia gritted his teeth and said: "The King of Yan was afraid of the majesty of the king and did not dare to come in person to tell his loyalty to the king. So he cut off the head of the traitor Fan Yuqi, and presented the map of the Dukang land of Yan State, sealed it in a box
, held a solemn farewell ceremony at the court, and sent envoys to Xianyang to explain the situation to the king, hoping to get the king's forgiveness."
"Fan Yuqi."
Upon hearing that familiar name, King Qin narrowed his eyes and tapped his finger on the wooden case.
Meng Jia lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
After a long time, King Qin finally said: "Since King Yan sincerely surrenders, let Yan set an example for the world and show it to Qi and Chu."
"Tell Lord Changping to agree on a time to receive the envoy of Yan with the etiquette of nine guests."
"only."
Meng Jia looked overjoyed, the task was completed.
His performance today was worthy of the room full of pearls, jade and gold.
Just when Meng Jia turned around and was about to retreat, King Qin's indifferent voice came from behind.
"Meng Jia, you spoke like this for Yan State today. Can you tell me how much money you received?"
…
"The relationship between Fan Yuqi and the King of Qin is complicated, and the King of Qin will definitely want to see his head."
"If the prediction is correct, he will look at the head first and then read the map. At that time, I will take the national gift as a precious gift and cannot use others as an excuse to personally present the map to the King of Qin. You should be prepared before the case.
When the dagger appears, come forward quickly to help me."
"I have already found out clearly that the rules of Qin law are very strict. Officials entering the palace are not allowed to carry weapons. Although the doctors have weapons, they are all under the main hall. They cannot go to the palace without the King of Qin's edict. This is our opportunity.
!”
"The only one with weapons in the palace is the King of Qin. But when Tu Qiong sees him, he will panic. I will take the opportunity to assassinate him. If I can kill him with one blow, it will be great. If not, I will not give it to him."
A chance to draw the sword."
"The case of the envoy is close to His Majesty. You are closer to the King of Qin than all the officials. I believe that when the incident occurs, the palace will be in panic. You must seize this opportunity, rush forward and form a relationship with me.
Two against one."
"In this way, a major event can be decided, and King Qin will die!"
"Do you understand?"
With a calm voice, Jing Ke told Zhao Tuo his plan for tomorrow in detail.
"only."
Zhao Tuo nodded, Jing Ke's plan was similar to what he knew in his previous life.
Jing Ke would find an excuse to present the picture in person. At this time, the heroic spirit of the Warring States Period still existed, and the rules were not as rigid as those of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations. The King of Qin would not stop Jing Ke from presenting the picture. This was an opportunity for assassination.
In addition, with the deputy envoy by his side, it only took a few seconds to rush to the King of Qin when the incident occurred. With two against one, prepared and unprepared, no matter how you look at it, you will win.
In history, Jing Ke assassinated Qin because Qin Wuyang was incompetent. As soon as he arrived at the throne, his face changed with fear, which alerted the officials and the King of Qin and prohibited him from approaching.
As a result, Jing Ke's decisive battle became one-on-one. In addition, Jing Ke's assassination skills seemed to have some problems. In the end, the King of Qin came to counterattack and kill him.
Zhao Tuo believed that his ability must be stronger than Qin Wuyang.
With his full help, Jing Ke's assassination of Qin will definitely succeed!
However, he will pay the corresponding price.
Jing Ke took a deep look at Zhao Tuo.
This guy is so calm!
Although he knew that Zhao Tuo was smart at a young age, calm in his work, and had the demeanor of his youth.
But this is a major event to assassinate the King of Qin!
Once successful, blood will be splashed five steps, and the world will be pure.
You didn't even change your expression. This calmness shocked the always conceited Jing Ke.
Could it be that this guy is a born assassin?
Zhuanzhu of the time, Nie Zheng?
Jing Ke suppressed the surprise in his heart and solemnly discussed various details with Zhao Tuo and considered various possible scenarios.
After the discussion was over, the two of them practiced using the map in the room again, striving to be foolproof.
It was already dark, and the sky was covered with dark clouds today. There was no moon shining, and except for the lights in the building, everything else was dark.
There was a cold wind howling at night, making the trees in the house rustle.
The night is dark and windy.
In the house, Jing Ke gathered up the map. Everything was planned and he was just waiting for tomorrow.
That would be the most glorious moment in his life, Jing Ke.
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhao Tuo and asked for the last time: "Now that you know everything, have you ever blamed me for letting you embark on this road of no return?"
Zhao Tuo shook his head and said with a smile: "If it weren't for Jing Qing, Tuo would have starved to death by the Yishui River, or was killed by Qin Wuyang that night. How can there be any complaints."
This is the truth.
Although Zhao Tuo tried to escape from this bottomless whirlpool several times, he never complained against Jing Ke.
If it weren't for Jing Ke, he would have died long ago.
The sky outside the house was dyed red by the dazzling light.
The fire is burning.
Thick smoke filled the building, irritating people who kept coughing.
"fire!"
"Fire!"
Chaotic and panicked shouts rang out in the building, followed by various noises, screams, and the neighing of horses echoing in the sky above Xianyang along with billowing smoke.
Fire is venting its energy wantonly.
Jing Ke's expression changed greatly, and he held the Dukang map and the box containing Fan Yuqi's head in his arms.
"Walk!"
Zhao Tuo followed Jing Ke closely and rushed out of the house.
I saw that the vast state guesthouse was now in chaos.
The fire had burned several rooms and was still spreading outwards. There was a raging crowd around, including attendants fleeing outside and building officials who came to put out the fire with buckets of water, mingling with each other and forming a chaotic mess.
"Shang Qing, are you okay?"
Ling Cheng from the pedestrian station rushed in in panic and was relieved to see Jing Ke holding the map and the box safe and sound.
He is the person in charge of this place. If there is something wrong with the envoy of the Yan State's mission, or if there is something wrong with the treasures presented by the State of Yan, he will be finished.
Jing Ke's face was as dark as water and he asked: "Nothing. What's going on with this fire?"
Ling Cheng also looked confused. He shook his head: "I don't know where the fire was lost. Let's not talk about this for now. Your Majesty, please follow me to a safe place."
At this moment, a thin young man rushed over from the chaotic crowd.
horizontal.
"Jing Qing, Tuo. It's Qiyang!"
"I saw that it was Qi Yang who set the fire. He set the fire and took advantage of the chaos and went out through the back door. He was also yelling that he wanted to sue for something big."
Both Jing Ke and Zhao Tuo's expressions changed drastically.
The incident was about to happen, and he was most afraid of an accident. Although he didn't know what the big deal was that Qi Yang was talking about, since he dared to set fire to escape, he must have someone to rely on.
If you guess the worst, the consequences will be disastrous.
There must be no mistakes in what happens tomorrow!
"He can't escape, I'll go."
Zhao Tuo whispered in Jing Ke's ear, with murderous intent in his words.
Jing Ke's face was gloomy and uncertain, but at this time Meng Yu, the fifth doctor in charge of receiving the delegation, also rushed over.
Jing Ke can’t escape!
Forcibly suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, until now, there was no other way. The people around him were in chaos, and except for Zhao Tuo, Jing Ke could not find a trustworthy assistant.
This guy should be trustworthy.
Jing Ke nodded to Zhao Tuo, but did not let Heng leave with Zhao Tuo. He just asked him to point out the direction for Zhao Tuo and then stay with Jing Ke.
