In the land of Yan, the capital of the country was Jicheng (now the capital).
Prince Dan was dressed in a dark blue robe, his hair was tied into a bun and was combed meticulously.
At this time, he came to visit the Jing family again: "It has been several months since we last met, but the master's style remains the same."
Sitting opposite him was the head of the Jing family, Jing Ke, who was dressed in black and had a restrained aura.
Prince Dan, who is only forty years old, has a few wisps of white hair on his temples and fine wrinkles at the end of his eyes.
From the fact that Prince Dan dared to plan to assassinate the King of Qin regardless of the consequences, we can see his courage and determination in doing things.
He was also proud of his talent in his heart, but unfortunately time did not wait for us. Qin became increasingly powerful and pressed every step of the way.
Prince Dan saw that Jing Ke's face was calm and there was no change in his mood, so he handed Jing Ke a simple book he had brought.
"Master, look at this.
When Qin was still in the cold winter, it began to mobilize and prepare to attack Wei.
In February, after the New Year, Qin used various types of siege equipment, numbering in the thousands, and mobilized 30,000 troops and horses from the northern front. After negotiating with the Chu people on the southern front, they also mobilized 50,000 troops and horses. Among them, 20,000 elite cavalry were deployed first.
He rushed to the eastern front of Qin and joined nearly 200,000 soldiers from Meng Ao's command.
The Qin people expected to station troops on the eastern front, at least 300,000 troops.
These soldiers and horses will gradually gather at the border of Qin and Wei in about March."
Prince Dan looked worried and continued: "Qin's soldiers, horses, and food are constantly flowing, and they are rushing to the eastern front one after another.
As far as I know from my investigation, Qin used Meng Ao, who had defeated the Wei army many times, as the main general, with Wang Jian's sons Wang Bi and Meng Tian as his deputy. At the same time, Wang Jian was sent to Qin's western front to guard the border to prevent the monsters.
The southern line of Qin was guarded by the former Zhao veteran general Lian Po.
Lian Po had been dormant in Wei and Chu for many years without a chance to recover, but he was recruited by the Qin people for nothing and became a military sage, which is really annoying.
On Qin's northern line, Meng Ao's son Meng Wu was the commander, and Yang Ruihe was his deputy to guard against the Huns.
Within and outside Qin, troops and generals were deployed like iron barrels. If Qin captured Wei again this time, half of the world would fall into Qin's hands.
It will be too late to regret it by then.
Therefore, the battle between Wei and Qin is related to the rise and fall of the world, and Qin must not be allowed to devour Wei again!
Under the current situation, the head of the family is still unwilling to take action?"
"It's not that I don't want to take action."
Jing Ke finally spoke: "The King of Qin is a saint in the four realms, and everyone in the world knows it.
I have become a saint by killing, and anyone in the world can kill him. If there is another person, I will never leave the land of Yan and take his life day and night.
Only the King of Qin... wants to kill him in Qin territory, it is difficult and difficult."
Prince Yan was greatly disappointed.
It turns out that Jing Ke never agreed because he was not sure about assassinating the Lord of Qin.
Jing Ke added: "However, the Immortal Sword I am practicing will also break through to the next level. I said that I must consider it because I want to cultivate the Immortal Sword without killing.
When the sword is completed, we will be sure to take the head of King Qin."
"My Jing family has lived in Yan for generations, and I also have a personal enmity with the Qin people. When the sword is made, I will take action to kill the lord of Qin."
Prince Dan asked earnestly: "But how long will it take for the head of the family to break through to the next level?"
"It can last for a year or two, or it can last for several months."
The whole process of Jing Ke's speech was always very steady.
If someone observes carefully, they will find that even the frequency of his eyes closing is constant, and his control over himself is incredibly refined.
"It seems that before Qin attacks Wei, it is impossible for the family leader to take action." Prince Dan said disappointedly.
Jing Ke: "I have a plan to participate in the struggle between Qin and Wei and help the Wei people.
Many of the people we have cultivated in our government are proficient in the art of killing and attacking. It is said that the Wei people are short of generals, and my Jing family has many brave and skilled warriors. The prince can recommend them to join Wei to increase their strength.
Moreover, my Jing family will look for opportunities to assassinate Qin generals to disrupt Qin's offensive against Wei."
After saying this, Prince Dan's eyes brightened slightly.

February time.
When night fell, the King of Chu was looking at a bronze lantern figurine in the palace.
The lamp figurine has an ancient texture and rounded shape, with a little cyan flame burning brightly.
"What do you think my uncle thinks of this new bronze lamp?
This is an old thing in the treasury of our Chu people. When I found it, I found out that it is a rare treasure. Unfortunately, it has been kept in the treasury for hundreds of years without anyone knowing about it."
The person the King of Chu spoke to was Li Yuan.
He continued: "I heard that the Qin people are going to attack Wei?"
"Well, Qin is sending troops and horses from various places to approach Wei." Li Yuan replied.
The King of Chu snorted softly: "The King of Qin deceived me that the Chu people's clan was unstable, and I had not been in charge of Chu for a long time, so I looked down upon me. He expected that I would not dare to go to war with Qin.
According to what my uncle sees, if I suddenly send troops to attack Qin at this moment, will it be possible to break the Qin people's southern front?"
Li Yuan said calmly: "With the number of sixty-four, I, Da Chu, have the upper hand.
If our Chu army sends troops, the Qin army will be caught off guard, and Qin's focus is currently on the east and west fronts, one is preparing to attack Wei, and the other is defending against the demon tribe, both of which have heavy troops.
If we, the great Chu, attack from the southern front, our chances of winning will be greater than those of Qin.
Because of the war between Qin and Wei, everyone in the world knows that Wei is training its troops with all its strength, but they don’t know that Chu has sufficient food supplies, many soldiers and generals, and has also learned the art of military strategy. The strength of the soldiers is improving every day."
The King of Chu laughed and said, "What my uncle said is true.
The longer the war between Wei and Qin lasts, the greater the cost will be for both sides, and the more beneficial it will be for us, the great Chu.
Therefore, in the battle between Wei and Qin, we, the great Chu, should attack the weak and the strong and help the Wei people.
The Wei people are training their troops and are short of money and food. We, the great Chu, can provide the Wei people with military supplies to increase the power of the Wei people and contain the Qin people."
"good!"
Li Yuan was quite impressed by this nephew.
He originally thought that he needed to persuade them to help the Wei people to buy time for Da Chu.
Unexpectedly, after his serious illness a year ago, this nephew suddenly seemed to have a spiritual awakening and continued to perform amazingly. He actually saw that it would be beneficial to Chu to help the Wei people.
When Li Yuan left the palace, his steps were brisk.
He was very happy with his nephew's change.
In the palace of the Chu people, the King of Chu murmured to himself: "It's quite interesting...three religions and nine streams, two races of humans and monsters."

Xianyang, Sijia.
Everyone in the Si family coveted the rich aura of Xianyang heaven and earth, so they lived in the Xianyang mansion most of the time.
"How is the recruitment of people from various places going?" Si Wenxin, the head of the Si family, asked in a secret room of the Si family.
There are specially arranged formations around the secret room to isolate it from prying eyes, and it is a place specially used for confidential conversations.
Si Kuan, who was in Qin and also wearing a black robe, said:
"Wei Wu, the leader of the Wei people, sold more than 10,000 people to my Si family. He wanted to use the old, weak, sick and disabled to make up the number. I found out and selected them all to be young and strong. After taking these hungry people back, they can recover after eating a few good meals.
Physical strength can be used for my people in Daxia..."
"We have gained more than 10,000 people from Wei, and there is a lot of commotion. I am afraid it will be difficult to hide what my Si family is doing.
Well, with the income from various places in China over the years, our population in Daxia has become quite large.
This time it ends and we will stop acquiring people from all the countries in China and Turkey within a few years.”
"promise."
"... After Siying entered the palace, she never returned to my Siying's house, which made me a little worried. We secretly provided money and food to the Wei people to fight against Qin... Maybe the Qin people had noticed it and made preparations early.
To be continued...
