General Qin

Chapter 24 Jing Ke stabs Qin
The map is exhausted, the dagger is now!
The cold light brightened the eyes of the three of them.

Without saying a word, Jing Ke stretched out his hand to grab the dagger. As long as he has the weapon in his hand, he can take the life of the tyrant in an instant and relieve the world from danger.

But in that flash of lightning, Jing Ke's hand fell to nothing.

There is a hand faster than him.

The moment the picture unfolded, he was already holding the Mrs. Xu's dagger, known as the world's sharpest blade, in his hand.

"My lord, retreat quickly!"

"The traitor is so bold that he dares to assassinate him!"

The officials exclaimed, especially those who stood behind the palace did not react at all, and the whole scene was in chaos.

In this chaos, the two strong young men jumped up, like eagles and steeds, and rushed straight to the assassin in front of the king's case.

"quiet!"

King Qin's voice was as cold as ice, and it seemed to carry some kind of magical power. With just one sound, the chaotic scene was quieted down.

Even the two Langwei warriors who came flying stopped under the raised palm of King Qin.

The eyes behind the pearl were still calm, and the sudden assassination did not cause the slightest fluctuation, as if everything was under his control.

Qin Wang looked at the two people who were confronting each other before the case, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"Fear of death?"

"Don't be afraid."

"Why is that?"

Jing Ke stood on the spot, looking at Zhao Tuo beside him.

The boy in messenger costume was holding a dagger and pointing at his neck.

If Jing Ke made any changes, the dagger would pierce into his vitals, and blood would splash on the king's case.

Zhao Tuo's face was calm, he had thought a lot beforehand.

He thought that he might be afraid, he might be nervous, and he might regret it.

But when things really happened, he realized that he was actually very calm.

His heart was like a rock, without any trembling.

Facing Jing Ke's question, Zhao Tuo said firmly: "The world."

"The world?"

Jing Ke frowned.

King Qin on the emperor's couch also narrowed his eyes.

The officials below were stopped by the King of Qin and did not dare to make any changes. They could only listen to the young man's words while being vigilant.

"The countries have been fighting each other for years. The rivers are full of dead bodies, the bones are covering the fields, the people are suffering, and the common people are suffering. Only the current king of Qin can stop the war. Only the unification of Qin can end this cruel war. Troubled times."

"That's right, for the sake of the world, King Qin cannot be killed!"

Zhao Tuo's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his words revealed incomparable firmness.

These words reached King Qin's ears, and this king, who had always been calm and composed, showed surprise for the first time.

Jing Ke frowned and said, "Ridiculous!"

"What you said is just to stop fighting. If you want to stop fighting, then you should do what Zimozi said. The big don't attack the small, the strong don't insult the weak, the many don't steal from the few, and the deceit doesn't deceive the foolish. , Don’t harm each other with water, fire, poison, and weapons.”

"But what I have heard is that the king of Qin was tyrannical, and the state of Qin was brutal. Since Hui and Wu, the state of Qin has come out to destroy the world. It took Hexi and Weihan from Wei, occupied Yanying and Wuqian from Chu, and perished for two weeks. Merge Bashu. It can be said that the heart of tigers and wolves only wants to destroy people and society."

"To this day, the Qin State has broken Zhao and conquered South Korea, and stationed troops on the side of Yishui. The world knows its intention to destroy Yan. Such a cruel country and tyrannical lord are all provoked by him. How can they return to the world? The stability!"

"If the King of Qin really wants to stop the war in the world, then he should stop the war and return the captured lands of the princes, restore the land of Han and Zhao that was destroyed. From then on, the countries will not invade each other, and the world will be determined by itself!"

Jing Ke spoke coldly.

"Bold, rebel nonsense!"

The officials in the hall roared angrily, and some even wanted to step forward to kill Jing Ke.

"Go back."

King Qin frowned slightly, and shouted back those restless officials.

He was sitting on the emperor's couch, only six feet away from the two assassins. If the two joined forces, they could bypass the king's case and assassinate him in an instant.

But King Qin was not afraid.

With a calm expression, he not only stopped the officials who were about to come forward to protect him, but also straightened his spine, sat upright, and listened to Zhao Tuo and Jing Ke's arguments.

King Qin's eyes fell on the young man in front of the case, with a glimmer of expectation.

"According to what Jingqing said, it seems that all the wars in the world were caused by the King of Qin and the State of Qin?" Zhao Tuo asked.

"Isn't it? You are also from Zhao. You should know that in the Battle of Changping, your country of Zhao was murdered by the Qin people to the death of 45 young men. The whole country mourned. This is something that has never happened in ancient times. The cruelty of Zhou and the viciousness of Zhou have never done such evil things! Isn’t the tyranny of Qin more frightening than Xia and Shang!”

Jing Ke scolded angrily.

Zhao Tuo was not annoyed, since the king of Qin didn't intend to stop them, he just expressed his intention here.

"Jingqing's words are wrong. If all the wars start from Qin, if there is no Qin in the world, will there be peace?"

"Not to mention anything else, just look at whether the fact that Qi State took advantage of Yan's internal turmoil and sent troops to destroy Yan has something to do with Qin State? Also look at whether Wei attacked Hexi, Qi State destroyed Song, and whether the five kingdoms conquered Qi by Qin State Provoked? If we look forward, the battle between Guiling and Maling was also the power of Qin?"

"Even if there is no Qin State in the world, there will be Wei State, Qi State, Chu State, and even Yan State, Zhao State, South Korea to provoke war!"

"Jingqing, you blame Qin for destroying Han and Zhao Sheji. How many of the [-] vassal states at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty are still alive?"

"You only see Qin destroying Han and Zhao, and annexing Bashu. Have you ever thought of the division of Jin, Han destroying Zheng, Zhao Midai, Wei destroying Zhongshan, Qi destroying Song Ji Tanzhang, Chu slaughtering Huaisi princes, and collecting all Jianghan Land. Even the remote country of Yan occupies the land of endless past and lonely bamboos, and even the capital of the country of Yan was captured only after the country of Ji was destroyed."

"If according to what Jingqing said, Qin should restore Han and Zhao Sheji. Then should all the princes destroyed by the six kingdoms also be restored! Will the kings of Yan, Wei, Chu, and Qi agree to this?"

Facing Zhao Tuo's stern questioning, Jing Ke was stopped for a while, and was stunned on the spot, unable to answer.

Zhao Tuo's voice was fierce: "Jingqing, you have only seen the massacres that Qin Guodong has created since he came out. But you didn't see how long the kingdoms of the world have been fighting since King Zhou You was killed on Lishan Mountain, and Ping and his two kings confronted each other?"

"500 years! 500 years!"

"How many princes were destroyed in 500 years, and how many common people and common people were lost?"

"Countless! Countless!"

"So the world must be unified!"

"Only when the world is unified, will there be no bloody battles between the princes for years, and there will be no scenes where bones are hidden in the wild and no rooster crows for thousands of miles!"

"Therefore, the king of Qin cannot die, he must not only be the king of Qin, but also the king of the world!"

"In today's world, only King Qin can end these 500 years of chaos and bring real stability to all people!"

"Prince Dan made Jing Qing assassinate Qin for his own selfishness, in order to inflict the suffering of one person on the suffering of all the people."

"I don't want to do this kind of behavior!"

When Zhao Tuo mentioned the emotional part, his blood surged up, his passion was surging, and his sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the hall of Xianyang Palace.

Jing Ke looked at him in shock.

His Highness and all the ministers were also dumbfounded. They never expected that a child who had not been crowned would have such insight, which was far beyond the people present.

King Qin's expression on the emperor's couch was moved, and his eyes were full of splendor.

At this moment, his heart moved.

Jing Ke sighed, and he stared deeply at the high-spirited and fiercely arguing young man in front of him, looking at this young man who was once regarded as an assistant.

Jing Ke once thought that he could see through him and control him.

As it turns out, he was wrong.

"Your knowledge is not as good as mine."

Jing Ke closed his eyes.

When he opened it again, his eyes were full of determination.

Whether what Zhao Tuo said is right or wrong.

It has nothing to do with Jing Ke's choice.

Prince Dan treats each other as a senior official, and rewards each other with a thousand pieces of gold.

He will also promise to pay back.

His words must be believed, his actions must be resolute, his promises must be true, he does not love his body, and he only goes to the dangers of scholars.

This is the hero of the world, and it is his belief in Jing Ke.

Jing Ke jumped up and rushed towards King Qin who was behind the emperor's couch empty-handed.

In that short moment, illusory scenes seemed to appear in front of Jing Ke's eyes.

When he was young, he practiced sword and read books.

When he was young, he traveled around the world.

It was only when I was middle-aged that I had to meet my confidant.

In a trance, he returned to the happiest time.

Yanshi was drunk, Gao Jianli beat Zhu, and Jing Ke sang loudly in the sad and exciting tune.

"Gradually away, gradually away."

The wind is slack and the water is cold, and the strong men will never return once they go!
