After being read by the First Emperor, I became the favorite of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 25 Jing Ke assassinates Qin (1)

At this moment, the palace of King Yan.

A young man was wearing a thin cloak, and his white hair was particularly conspicuous under the lights at night.

He sat under the corridor and looked at Haoyue in a daze, with unknown emotions in his eyes.

"Your Highness, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest." Next to him, a guard came over and bowed to him.

"He has sent troops to destroy the State of Zhao. Will he attack the State of Yan next?" The man said softly, as if he was murmuring to himself.

Yes, the person in front of me is the Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom, Yan Dan.

After returning from Qin, he turned white overnight for some unknown reason.

Hearing Yan Dan's words, the guard opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. Seeing that he was stunned again, he stopped disturbing him and retreated to guard in the dark.

Yan Dan lowered his eyes and played with the jade ring around his waist, his thoughts gradually drifting away.

That year, he came to Zhao State to serve as a hostage, and saw the bullied boy on a muddy street off the beaten path.

In the dead of winter, the young man was wearing thin clothes and his body was obviously covered with scars, but he was beaten and insulted without saying a word.

He couldn't bear it and drove away those people, so he became good friends with the young man.

Later, there was another person beside the boy.

The boy was wary at first, but then slowly dropped his guard and became dependent.

He was very envious of the young man's companionship. He often watched the young man's bright smile in secret, and he longed for it in his heart.

But no one cares, no one ever cares...

Later, he returned to the State of Yan, and the young man took his people back to the State of Qin. They parted ways, but they still exchanged letters.

Until that year, the person who had helped the boy suddenly disappeared.

He heard that the boy sat in the courtyard all night, and then seemed to grow up overnight, becoming ruthless and decisive, and using an iron fist to secure his throne.

The State of Yan was weak, so that year he went to the State of Qin as a hostage and met the young man again.

The boy's eyebrows already had the majesty of an emperor. He was the boy who once dug snow and made tea with him, but he was no longer the same person as before.

When old friends meet again, apart from greetings, only polite courtesy remains.

When he heard that the young man wanted to unify the world and destroy the six kingdoms, he was shocked, and then his whole body trembled.

The Qin State, with its powerful military and horse power, is like a vigorous young man with infinite vitality; while the Yan State is like a twilight old man, sitting alone in the dusk, with a few remaining years left in his lifetime.

If the two countries are really at war with each other, Yan will definitely lose.

For the first time, he asked in a pleading tone: "I would like to remember our friendship when we were young, can you not destroy my motherland?"

The young man was silent for a rare moment and replied: "I will spare your life and make you an official of Yandi."

He saw the seriousness in the young man's eyes, and he knew his true nature, so he stopped asking questions.

Since then, they have broken up.

With her thoughts gathered, Yan Dan slowly looked at the sky, her white hair fluttering slightly in the wind.

After a while, a long sigh sounded here.

After gathering his thoughts, Yan Dan seemed to have remembered something, and summoned his confidant Tian Guang: "If you want to relieve my worries, what can you do?"

Tian Guang understood what he meant and pondered for a moment: "Disasters come from the source. If you want to stop them, Your Highness might as well block them from the source."

Yan Dan understood the meaning of his words and was shocked.

"Is this the only way?" he murmured.

"The King of Qin has destroyed Han and Zhao, Han Wangan is imprisoned, and Zhao Wangqian is sent to Fangling Mountain - Your Highness, if you don't want the Yan State to become a county of his Qin State, this is the only plan for now." Tian Guang bowed his head and bowed deeply.Yan Dan was lost for a while, then said in a hoarse voice: "Then...is there anyone in Aiqing who can do this?"

"Yes. If Your Highness decides, I will go and invite that person here."

"Excuse me, my dear."

"My minister retire."

After Tian Guangzuo bowed and left, Yan Dan seemed to have lost all his strength, and his whole body softened. He lay down on the corridor and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

After a moment, he closed his eyes and a line of tears rolled down his face.

When he opened his eyes again, the gentleness in the eyes of the Prince of Yan was gone, only determination and ruthlessness remained.

Here, after Tian Guang left the palace, he went to a quiet house.

There was a man wearing a bamboo hat sitting in the house. The man was drinking with a friend. When they saw him coming, the two immediately stood up and bowed.

Tian Guang waved his hand, sat down opposite the man, pondered for a moment, then opened his lips and said, "His Highness has agreed."

The man paused while drinking, and subconsciously looked up at him: "Seriously."

"really."

The man raised his lips and smiled, then raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp. The wine bottle was placed heavily on the table: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

This man's name was Jing Ke, he was a member of the Wei Kingdom, with outstanding martial arts skills, and he yearned to serve the country, but the King of Wei was not optimistic about him and ignored him.

Jing Ke then came to Wei and defected to Prince Dan of Yan.

Hearing that Qin State had taken away almost all of Wei State's territory, and that Wei State had only a few lands left and was reduced to a vassal state of Yan State, Jing Ke was so angry that he always wanted to assassinate the King of Qin.

However, Prince Dan of Yan and Ying Zheng had known each other since they were young and had a close friendship. Even after they broke up and returned to Qin, Yan Dan never thought of killing Ying Zheng.

Now...now...finally...

The man next to him saw that Jing Ke was happy, and he was also happy: "I'll play a song and wish Brother Jing that he gets what he wants!"

This man's name was Gao Jianli, and he was a dog-slaughterer who loved to build buildings. After becoming friends with Jing Ke, Jing Ke often drank while Gao Jianli sang and built buildings.

"Qin Wangzheng has a goddess by his side. It is said that she is capable of reaching the heavens. She protects the Qin State with her own power. The King of Qin gets her like a fish in water. This trip is dangerous and dangerous. Does Young Master Jing need to bring one more person with him?" Tian Guang asked as he thought of something.

Jing Ke thought for a while: "My old friends are all in other places. I'm afraid it's too late to contact them now."

Tian Guang heard the words and pondered for a moment: "Your Highness has a guest named Qin Wuyang. He comes from a famous family. He has practiced martial arts and archery since he was a child. He dared to kill evil people at the age of 12 and is considered a warrior. If the young knight doesn't mind, this person can follow The young heroes will go to Qin together."

"Can you prepare another treasure for me?"

"nature."

The two discussed for a while and then bowed to each other.

After watching Tian Guang leave, Jing Ke sat down and continued drinking: "He won't live long."

"Brother Jing, why did you say this?" Gao Jianli looked puzzled.

"The State of Yan and the State of Zhao are dependent on each other. Now that the State of Zhao is dead and the State of Yan is in danger, he is still hesitant because he thinks about his childhood friendship with the King of Qin. This son is weak. If he wants to succeed, he will have to see blood. OK."

If no one forces him, he may regret it.

Judging from the conversation just now, Tian Guang seems to want to be that person.

Gao Jianli seemed to understand something and subconsciously turned to look at Tian Guang.

At this moment, this high-ranking counselor was walking alone under the moonlight, his sluggish back actually showed a bit of determination.
