Chapter 200: Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin
It was then that I suddenly realized it!
Meng Tian, who was listening intently, said, "That's it! It's just..." He didn't say the next words.
Wang Jian and I looked at each other and said nothing.
"It seems that your Majesty wants to destroy the Yan Kingdom first. Then General Meng, why did you return to Xianyang from the front line of the Yan Kingdom?"
"Master, you don't know yet? The State of Yan has sent envoys to Xianyang to surrender to the king, and they have brought Huan Jue's head and the map of the Dukang area of the State of Yan. They only hope to guard the ancestral temple of their ancestors. The king does not
Japan will summon the envoys of Yan State"
I could only secretly smile bitterly. No one in the court told me about such a big event. It seems that I am still a different person in the eyes of these Qin officials!
After sending Wang Jian and Meng Tian away, Kesma and Yi Fazhe walked out of the room.
"Prime Minister, after hearing what Meng Tian said, there is a question that I don't understand," Kesma said to me.
"What you want to ask is what Meng Tian wanted to ask just now, but he didn't say it out loud. Do you want to ask why King Qin Ying Zheng treated Prince Yan like that?" I looked at the flowers in the courtyard in the distance and sighed, then said.
: "This King of Qin is too scheming. He and Prince Dan are...
Of course, it was intentional for him to snub Prince Dan when he was in times of need. Only when he deliberately snubbed him and made him unbearable would Prince Dan try to escape, so that he would have excuses and reasons to hunt him down. Even if he let him escape, he would be destroyed in the future.
Yan Na is also justified and will not have any worries!"
"Immediately organize those of our tribe who can use throwing knives into two teams. You will be the captains respectively and take turns being responsible for guarding our settlement."
"Isn't there Zhao Gao in the settlement?!" Yi Fazhe asked me.
I didn't say anything, I felt an inexplicable panic in my heart. I didn't know whether it was right or wrong for me to choose to help this Ying Zheng.
Within two days, I received a summons from Ying Zheng, asking me to enter the palace the next day, saying that I was to greet the envoys of the State of Yan in the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
Early the next morning, I put on my court clothes and went to Xianyang Palace. As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw that many people had come. The King of Qin held a grand ceremony of nine guests to welcome the envoy of Yan State. This shows that he was very concerned about this matter.
Attention. After a while, Ying Zheng was dressed in a black nine-dragon robe, a crown on his head, and white jade around his waist. He was brought in. After the ministers saluted him, the waiter outside the palace shouted loudly: "The envoy of the State of Yan is here to see you."
Not long after, I saw two people walking in from outside the main hall. The person walking in front was wearing a green robe without a hat, and holding a vermilion wooden box in both hands. This person must be Jing Ke. The box he held must contain Huan Yan's head.
Following Jing Ke was a tall man. He was holding a long wooden box. I think it should be the state of Yan.
Map of Dukang. It seems that the king of Yan has completely given up resistance. The king of Yan doesn’t know what he thinks. Before the death of Zhao, he fought with Zhao for his life, but he didn’t consider at all that if Zhao hadn’t been there,
If the Qin State is blocked for him in the front, how can the Yan State survive? Now it's fine, as soon as the Zhao State is destroyed, it will be his turn.
One after another, under the gaze of the civil and military ministers in the palace, the two people walked respectfully to the steps in front of Yingzheng's throne. The two people immediately knelt down and worshiped on the ground. Jing Ke raised the wooden box with both hands and said: "The little king of the northern Yan Kingdom has specially ordered
My subordinate Jing Ke presented to the King of Qin the head of the criminal Huanjie and the map of Dukang of the State of Yan as a token of submission!"
Ying Zheng sat on the throne and nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face.
I am also very happy in my heart. After all, it is a good thing for the people to have fewer battles. Although it will not help if the Yan Kingdom resists, it is certain that there will be casualties in front of the two armies.
I was thinking about it when I suddenly saw the long box held by the man behind me shaking slightly, and his face changed, as if he was very nervous. Many ministers in the palace also saw it and started talking about it. At this time, Jing Ke
He turned around and smiled at Qin Wuyang, then stepped forward to thank King Qin for him.
Sin said: "The barbarians in the northern barbarian areas have not paid homage to the emperor, so they are very afraid. I hope the king will forgive them a little so that they can complete their mission." King Qin said to Jing Ke: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! You all get up. Qin Wuyang is afraid.
Then take the map he took and hand it over!"
I suddenly felt something was wrong. Why was the man named Qin Wuyang so nervous? As envoys of the Yan State, they came to the Qin State to ask for land. The Qin State would definitely entertain them well and give them generous rewards! Why should he be so nervous?
Saying that he is a barbarian and has never seen the big scene is obviously an excuse. It is impossible for the King of Yan to send two envoys from all the way to choose a person who has never seen the world. Isn't he afraid of making the King of Qin unhappy?
Thinking of this, I knew something was wrong. At this time, Jing Ke took the map and walked up the steps to present it to King Qin. He saw him placing the map on the imperial desk in front of Ying Zheng and opening the map.
I shouted: "King, be careful, he is an assassin!"
But it was too late. At this time, the map in front of Ying Zheng had been opened, revealing a dagger wrapped in the map. Jing Ke grabbed the sleeve of the King of Qin with his left hand, and stabbed the King of Qin with the dagger in his right hand. Ying Zheng suddenly encountered such a situation.
Suddenly, he was so frightened that he screamed and fell to the ground, waving his hands wildly to fend off Jing Ke.
The dagger came. Seeing that Jing Ke missed the hit, he stabbed Ying Zheng with the dagger again. In panic, Ying Zheng tore off his sleeves and ran in circles around the big pillar next to the throne. Jing Ke followed behind and chased. King Qin ran as he ran.
He wanted to pull out his sword, but the sword was too long and he couldn't pull it out in a panic.
I was so anxious that I didn't know what to do for a moment.
The ministers in the palace were also frightened. What happened was so sudden that everyone lost their normal state. According to the laws of the Qin State, ministers serving in the palace were not allowed to carry weapons; those guards who had weapons were all in the palace.
They lined up at the foot of the steps and could not go to the temple without the king's order.
King Qin was still running around the pillar, so panicked that he could not draw his sword no matter what.
Jing Ke was chasing after him with a dagger raised, and had already cut his robe several times. I shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, put the sword on your back, put the sword on your back, and then draw it out." Ying Zheng heard
I shouted and moved my sword behind my back. Sure enough, I pulled out my long sword. In a hurry, I swung my sword at Jing Ke and slashed at Jing Ke. One of the swords hit Jing Ke's thigh.
Jing Ke screamed and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Ying Zheng turned around with his long sword and was about to stab him. Unexpectedly, Jing Ke threw the dagger in his hand as a dart in front of Ying Zheng's face. With this swing, Jing Ke used
With 100% of his strength, the dagger flew straight in front of Ying Zheng's facade. The distance was so close that Ying Zheng had no way to hide, and then he screamed and closed his eyes.
There was just a ding sound, and just when the tip of the dagger was about to touch Ying Zheng's eyelids, it was knocked away by a blue light. Screams continued in the hall. Ying Zheng slowly opened his eyes, and saw a dagger with a blue light flashing at its tail.
The flying knife floated up and down in front of him, while the dagger Jing Ke shot had fallen to the ground not far away. The dagger was shining with a faint blue light, and he knew it was poisoned at a glance.
The guards swarmed up and pricked Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang into hedgehogs. Before he died, Jing Ke spat out blood and said, "Ying Zheng! The reason why things didn't work out was not God's blessing for you! It's because I wanted to capture you alive to repay you."
Prince Yan’s kindness!”
I walked forward and looked at Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang who were covered in blood. I felt a lot in my heart. Is this man a hero or a fool? He abandoned his family and son just to give him a good look for a few days.
He came to Qin to die? Even if he succeeded in the assassination, wars would continue in the world and many people would become withered bones in the graves. Could it be that he didn't expect it?
I held the flying knife, put it into my sleeve, and said, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
