Chapter 12 Assassination! The Only Chance

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night...

Ying Jingyu returned to the 'Cui Bamboo Pavilion' after dinner. He stood at the door of the bedroom and looked up at the bright starry sky outside the door. He put his hands behind his back and remained motionless like a stone man.

On the wooden table by the window is a set of black night clothes that Zhang Chang brought over, but Jingyu did not change into them.

Although the night is quiet and no one is moving... the atmosphere is extremely strange...

At this time, Ying Jingyu was both nervous and expectant, quietly waiting for news about Zhang Chang...

It was just after midnight, except for the footsteps of the Prime Minister's guards patrolling at intervals, the only sounds were the chirping of crickets in the flowers and grass at night.

Suddenly, a meteor streaked across the sky from west to east in the night sky, illuminating the entire prime minister's mansion for a moment.

Jingyu frowned, "Midnight meteor"...could it be a sign of something?

Closing his eyes, it was still a bit cool in the middle of the night in late September. Jingyu had been standing quietly at the door for three hours (6 hours).

Unintentionally, I fell asleep while standing... In my dream, the sound of fighting and shouting was loud, and Xiang Yu was leading countless soldiers from the Six Nations covered in blood.

He conquered Xianyang with overwhelming force, killed everyone he saw upon entering the city, burned down Xianyang Palace, destroyed everything, and felt like he was in purgatory on earth...

The Kwantung Army captured Qin Sanshi's family and brought them to Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu took a sword and cut off Ying Ziying's head in front of Ying Jingyu, causing blood to spurt out...

"Ah..." This scene shocked Ying Jingyu to the point where he collapsed on the ground, his eyes wide open, and his underwear was soaked with sweat.

Jingyu took a few breaths, stood up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately it was just a dream."

Having this nightmare at this time seems to be the deepest fear in my heart. Because this dream scene actually happened in history.

Ying Jingyu looked up into the sky again and sighed: "Will everything I do be meaningless? In the end, it will not change the fate of the Ying family of Qin?"

After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly became more and more murderous: "No!"

"I will do my best to change history! Even if I die again, I will definitely take a big piece of flesh from Xiang Yu and Liu Bang!!"

Ying Jingyu took a look at the sky and estimated that it was too late. It seemed that... today's plan to assassinate Dong Jian was going to fail...

I stopped waiting persistently, closed the door, stretched and took off my clothes, and lay in bed unable to fall asleep for a long time.

His mind was filled with images of how to assassinate Dong Jian, and there was still a glimmer of hope that he could wait for the news.

I squinted like this until around Yin hour, then I fell asleep...

On the 16th day of Qin III's reign...

At dawn, Xi Meng gently pushed the door in with breakfast in hand and woke up Jing Yu.

Jingyu woke up angry and ate breakfast in a hurry before falling back to sleep. He told Xi Meng not to let anyone disturb his dream except Zhang Chang before noon.

Because there may be big things to do tonight, so I must stay energetic and catch up on sleep

The sun was shining high and it was approaching noon. Ying Jingyu woke up naturally and felt refreshed.

After changing my clothes and washing my face, I recalled the terrible scene that happened in history last night, and my whole body was filled with excitement.

After a while, Yue Ximeng came over and asked the young master to go to Qin Sanshi's place for lunch.

During lunch, Qin Sanshi told Jingyu that Prime Minister Dong Lege had come to see King Qin again in the morning.

Dong Lege came here to talk about asking Ying Ziying to hold a coronation ceremony as soon as possible. He used a lot of clichés such as "a country cannot be without an owner for a day" and "we must be responsible for the people of Qin" to urge the third generation of Qin.

All it takes is force to force them...

However, Ziying was not the retarded servant of the Second Emperor of Qin. He found several excuses and kept evasive. In desperation, Dong Lege actually said that Xianyang Palace had been ownerless for many days, which made the officials angry.

Let Ying Ziying be prepared. He must enter Xianyang Palace within three days, otherwise...

After hearing this, Ying Jingyu frowned deeply and said, "Father, you are so good at evading it. Now I have to compete with Dong Lege for time. If I enter the palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out."

Qin Sanshi nodded: "I understand, because of the Dongjian incident, I didn't sleep last night..."

"I hope there will be some movement within three days, otherwise we will lose our only chance."

The corners of Jingyu's mouth raised, quite confidently: "Don't worry, Father, this thief can't stand it for three days!"

.....

After the meeting with Ziying, Ying Jingyu went to the backyard alone and pulled out the "Fish Gut Sword" dagger from the wooden sheath on his waist.

This wooden scabbard was made by Xi Meng after she handed over the 'Fish Gut Sword' to her yesterday. Who knows, but this girl didn't know what method she used, and she had it ready the next day.

He took the sheath in his left hand, played with it twice, and nodded with satisfaction. The workmanship was also more detailed, the wood had good toughness, and the mouth of the sheath just fit the 'Fish Gut Sword'

Ying Jingyu held the dagger in his right hand, waved his arm, twisted his wrist, and began to dance the 'Fish Gut Sword' with changing movements.

Although the famous sword is sharp, its value can only be realized by those who know how to use it.

In order to quickly master the skills of dagger fighting, Ying Jingyu recalled the experience of his previous life and constantly danced and adjusted his strength and posture in order to regain the muscle memory of the application of dagger skills.

Jingyu didn't do any basic military training all afternoon. He was stabbing back and forth in Nuo Da's backyard. His movements became more and more skillful, and his strength and range became larger and larger.

Jingyu didn't expect that the special combat skills from the previous life that he had stored in his mind would be so smoothly integrated with this body. After an afternoon of hard work, his sword skills improved several levels...

Ying Jingyu realized that it takes the most time to build the basic foundation of this body. But the experience in the previous life does not take much time to fully adapt to this body.

Making the dagger technique faster and faster, it seems nothing special to outsiders, but only those who have experienced it will know that Jingyu's techniques are not fancy, but in actual combat they are all about making key moves...

It was another day when the sun was setting. Jingyu stopped his movements and held the 'Fish Gut Sword' in his hand to look at it repeatedly. This sword seemed to have some kind of magic power, making people unable to put it down.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps behind him. Jingyu raised his head and inserted the dagger into the wooden sheath. He could guess who was coming by listening to the rhythm of the footsteps.

Jingyu turned around, took two steps forward and said with a smile: "General Zhang, you are here in a hurry. Do you have any good news?"

Zhang Chang cupped his hands and said excitedly: "Yes, sir, 90% sure!"

"Oh? It's still early. How can the general be so sure that Dongjian will go tonight?"

Zhang Chang said excitedly: "The time has been long enough, and Dong Jian is unbearable. According to the spies' report, Dong Jian is different today from where he lived. He must be planning to go to the Wang family's house at night!"

Ying Jingyu was overjoyed and a little excited: "Great! General Zhang, since Dong Jian has not left, we should not act rashly. If it is confirmed that he will go, we will notify the dead men in Xianyang City as soon as possible to gather at a fixed place and take their positions."

"By the way, I also need to inform my father and ask him to prepare for the king to take over the city defense and military affairs."

"Here! Young Master!"

Jingyu then thought about it and took Zhang Chang's arm: "Come on, general, let's go to my father's place for dinner with me. We just happened to discuss this matter with him."

At the dinner table, Qin Sanshi was also very excited when he heard the news: "I finally waited for the opportunity. The fate of my great Qin will be decided tonight!"

The three of them drank some Qin wine. The King of Qin had already prepared the summons, and everything was in order.

...

At Haishi (9 p.m. to 11 p.m.), Ying Jingyu was standing outside the "Cui Zhu Pavilion" room in pure black night clothes. His figure almost blended into the night. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to spot anyone standing there.

Putting his hands behind his back, waiting is always the most torturous thing. As time goes by, Jingyu's heartbeat becomes faster and faster, and he feels as if he is suffocating.

This level is really important, otherwise it would be doomed...

At the end of Haishi, Ying Jingyu heard a rush of footsteps in the corridor in front of him, and Jingyu's heart almost rose to his throat.

"Sir! The spy reported that Dong Jian has been escorted by thirty plainclothes guards and is now riding a carriage to the Wang family's residence!"

Ying Jingyu was so excited that he almost staggered, and roared to the sky to vent the depressed mood of the past few days.

God still favors Da Qin

Ying Jingyu quickly walked up to Zhang Chang and said, "General Zhang, have you notified all the dead men in the city?"

"Don't worry, young master, we have sent someone to summon you. I will inform the king later."

Ying Jingyu said: "Very good! I won't say any more nonsense. You cooperate with my father and get the news that I successfully killed Dongjian and go to the City Military and Administrative Office as soon as possible. I will be there soon!"

"No, sir!"

"Also, General Zhang must take good care of your father and yourself..."

"Don't worry, young master, Chang has already put his life and death on the line. Chang's only wish is to restore the glory of our great Qin Dynasty as soon as possible!"

Jing Yu's heart moved, and he walked up to Zhang Chang, hugged him, and patted his back: "General Zhang is the pillar of the Qin Dynasty. You must not despise your own life. Arrange for the queen and others to guard you."

"I will go to the place where the dead soldiers gather alone now, go General."

After Jing Yu let go of Zhang Chang, Zhang Chang knelt down on one knee with great excitement and clasped his hands in fists: "..."

Jingyu didn't dare to delay any longer, so he ran all the way to a wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, climbed over the wall and jumped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a few moments.

Wearing a black cloth scarf, looking left and right, we headed towards the south of the city...
