Yan Kingdom, Wuyang City, Prince's Mansion.

"Please take me to the king and give me all the power you can give."

When Jing Ke saw Yan Dan, he didn't talk too much nonsense and went straight to the topic.

Yan Dan asked, "Brother Jing Ke has decided?" ”

Jing Ke replied casually: "What am I determined about?" No, I didn't decide anything. Since you want to use me, give me all your trust. ”

Yan Dan frowned and said, "I'm talking about assassinating Ying Zheng......." ”

Jing Ke directly interjected and stopped: "Be careful that the wall has ears, and don't mention the assassination until the mission is completed." As long as the prince takes me to see the king, I don't need to ask more about the rest of the matter. The countries of the Central Plains, the secret agents of the Qin State are pervasive, and there are some things that we just need to know in our hearts, and we don't need to say them directly. ”

Yan Dan nodded, he was afraid that Jing Ke would not agree, since he agreed, he would definitely launch an assassination. As for how to assassinate, Jing Ke couldn't tell anyone, and Yan Dan wouldn't ask more. After all, he is not an assassin, and if he kills an assassination, he still lets those professionals do it.

Yan Dan is also a very courageous person, and took Jing Ke to Yan Palace that night to meet Yan Wangxi.

Hearing that Jing Ke was coming, King Yan was happy to meet him. Yi Shui organized to guard the Yan royal family, and many things that were inconvenient for the royal family were let Yi Shui do. Under Yingzheng's aggressive momentum, King Yan is indeed afraid, and he also needs a strong figure to stand up to counteract the edge of King Qin Yingzheng.

Don't look at Jing Ke is just a reckless man in the rivers and lakes, and his reputation in the Yan Kingdom is very strong, and many children of the royal family are training in Yishui. Jing Ke is the leader of Yi Shui, and King Yan will only value it. He had invited Jing Ke many times before, but he had directly refused, but now that Jing Ke took the initiative to send it to the door, King Yan was naturally very happy.

After the salute, Jing Ke said to his face: "King Qiqi, for the sake of Dayan, Jing Ke has something to ask for, and I ask the king to agree." ”

King Yan said with a smile: "Mr. Jing Ke is the leader of Yishui, it was difficult for you to be out of the ranks before, let alone one request, even if it is ten requests, this king should approve it." ”

Jing Ke shook his head and said, "Please think about it carefully, this request of mine is very big and will affect the interests of many powerful people." But without this power, I can't enter Qin at all, this is a gamble, if it succeeds, Dayan will not be harassed by Qin within ten years, and if it fails, it will make Dayan fall into a place of no return. ”

King Yan was surprised and said, "You want to enter Qin?" What to do there? ”

Jing Ke said frankly: "In the battle of Qin and Chu, the Qin State won a great victory, and Wang Qian's army is building a warship to cross the Yangtze River, and it is estimated that the entire territory of the Chu State will be taken this winter." We can't give the Qin State this chance, once the entire Chu State is taken, the next one will attack my Yan State, and the king should be worried about this matter. ”

King Yan sighed: "My mind, many people see it, King Qin is too powerful. It's not that I'm timid, but that my Dayan's national strength can't compare to the Qin State at all. When the war broke out, where was my Yan State the opponent of the Qin State, so I had the idea of moving the capital. ”

Jing Ke said: "The relocation is certain, Jicheng and Zhao Realm are too close, if the Qin State comes to attack in a big way, we can't resist it at all." Now the key question is whether the Qin State will come in after the capital is moved? With what I know about King Qin, he will definitely continue to attack. ”

"For today's plan, it is necessary to let Wang Qian's army retreat, as long as the Chu State is not destroyed, it can win time for Dayan to breathe, which is also the purpose of my mission to the Qin State. When he came, Mr. Tian Guang entrusted him with death, so as not to suspect the prince, after all, only the dead can keep secrets. ”

King Yan said angrily: "Prince, is Mr. Tian Guang dead?" ”

Yan Dan was stunned and asked, "I don't know about this." ”

Jing Ke said: "Mr. died, and the reason for his death was very simple, that is, the prince did not trust him. invited me out of the mountain, and doubted my loyalty, so he committed suicide to prove Jing Ke's innocence. The purpose of my visit to Qin is known only to the crown prince except me, so when I meet the king today, the first request is to gain the king's trust. If the king doesn't believe me, then I can't mention other things, I will only take the Yishui people to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and no longer ask about the world. ”

King Yan said eagerly: "Sir must not leave Dayan, this king will definitely give Mr. wholehearted trust." The prince is still young and doesn't know the trick of intentions, since he wants to use it, he should use people without suspicion and suspicion. ”

At the same time, he said angrily to Yan Dan: "You, this child, you are the prince, you are actually suspicious of the people around you, how can you let others work for you?" In the meantime, you have to go to Mr. Tian Guang's grave to confess for three days. ”

Yan Dan is really stupid, before he came here, no one told him that Tian Guang was dead, so he was responsible for it, how innocent. I have a grudge against Jing Ke in my heart, I must have said what was on your mind, you Jing Ke held a grudge and used Tian Guang's death to meet the king, which embarrassed me. If it weren't for the assassination plan, you would still need you, and I wouldn't have to find a way to kill you in order to vent my hatred.

What Yan Dan thought in his heart, others didn't know. Yan Wang Yan said: "What power does the gentleman want? As long as you open your mouth, whatever you want, this king will agree. ”

Jing Ke said: "If the king wants me to serve wholeheartedly, there are only two requirements. First, worship me as the secretary, do not participate in the military advisor, and give me the privilege of acting cheaply in political affairs; Second, the map of the governor. ”

Hearing this, King Yan and Yan Dan were taken aback, and asked in unison, "Why do you want to supervise the map?" ”

The status of the secretary is equivalent to the position of the prime minister, and if he can be in this position, he must be favored by the king. With Jing Ke's talent, he is indeed suitable for taking on the role, King Yan has long been tired of Yan Dan, and only when someone can stand up and balance the prince's mansion can he have no worries.

And Tian Guang is dead, and it is impossible for Jing Ke to get together with Yan Dan, so that King Yan can reuse it. Why is this a request for a map of the governor?

Jing Ke said: "The land of Du Kang is the richest place in my Dayan, and if you want King Yingzheng of Qin not to attack Dayan, you must sacrifice this map." I have a comprehensive plan, with the secretary of Yan to send an envoy to Qin, and dedicate a map of the governor to delay the time for Qin to attack Yan, so as to facilitate the king's relocation of the capital. ”

"The king is about to move the capital, so Qin Yan is at war, and Du Kang will fall into the hands of the Qin people sooner or later, so why do we care about the place where Du Kang is located? When the King of Qin saw that I had sent this map, he would definitely be amazed by the king, and he had no reason to attack the Yan Kingdom. As long as the Qin State does not attack the Yan State and sends out the land of the governor, it will be beneficial and harmless to the king's relocation of the capital. ”

"As everyone knows, the king of Qin has achieved the trend of unifying the Central Plains, and moved the capital to Liaodong to avoid its edge. If the King of Qin wants to attack Liaodong, he can't do it in a short time. There are Baiyue in the south of Qin and Xiongnu in the north, as long as there is a war on these two sides, my Dayan can profit from it, and I can completely regain the lost land, what does the king think? ”

King Yan pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "It is indeed desirable." King Qin is not a mediocre person, as long as two wars arise, it is impossible to make a move against Liaodong. In the war with foreign clans, my Dayan will also participate, so the king of Qin will not dare to stop the recovery of the original land. ”

Jing Ke continued: "As long as the king's Liaodong is not lost, the Central Plains will not be unified, and Yingzheng will not be able to claim the title of emperor, he is still a prince of the Central Plains." This is the general trend, even if he is unwilling, the entire royal family will not let him mess around. ”

King Yan asked, "Then why do you still want to send an envoy to the Qin State?" ”

Jing Ke said: "This is what I conspired with the prince, and the king should not ask." I will explain the power of it to the King of Qin in person, and force him to withdraw his troops from the State of Chu, so as to win time for the king to move the capital. There is no way, the speed of King Qin's annexation of Shouchun is too fast, we can't wait for the spring of next year, and we must delay the speed of Qin's attack. ”

King Yan is not a fool, Jing Ke tried his best to envoy Qin, it is likely to assassinate King Yingzheng of Qin. As long as Ying Zheng is dead, he will naturally not come to attack Yan State. But how difficult is it to assassinate Yingzheng? When Jing Ke said this, he told King Yan that even if the assassination failed, all the responsibility would not be borne by King Yan, after all, you didn't participate, and the only one who was in trouble was Prince Yan Dan.

King Yan asked Yan Dan and said, "You have already planned it?" ”

Yan Dan almost vomited blood, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes, we have planned it." ”

The specific assassination plan is only known to Jing Ke, and Yan Dan is not clear. Since King Yan asked, at this point, did he dare to say that he didn't know? Heaven is pitiful, Yan Dan really doesn't know Jing Ke's plan to assassinate Qin, so he can only wait until he leaves the palace to ask.

King Yan immediately said: "This king announced that Jing Ke is the secretary of the Great Yan, carrying a map of the governor, ten carriages of gold beads, and 100 beauties, and he will be sent to the Qin State. ”

Jing Ke and Yan Dan said in unison: "Huh." ”

Outside the palace gate, Yan Dan was full of anger, and Jing Ke smiled casually: "I know that the prince is angry, but if you don't say that, how can the king trust me?" The so-called emperor's mental technique, if you and I are still so harmonious, it is estimated that the king will be the first to kill you, isn't it? ”

Hearing this, Yan Dan completely calmed down. The emperor's mental technique, to put it bluntly, is to maintain the balance of all parties, and the prince's mansion has restored its military power, even if Jing Ke does not come forward, there will be other people competing with the prince's mansion. If the relationship between the two sides is harmonious, then King Yan will cause suspicion, which will be very unfavorable to the prince's mansion.

Yan Dan thought for a moment, could only hold back the resentment in his heart, and asked, "Is Mr. Tian Guang really dead?" ”

Jing Ke said bitterly: "It's really dead." ”

"Sir knows that I am going to enter Qin, and he is too close to the crown prince, and our king is too suspicious. If he doesn't die, it will be difficult for the king to use me, and even Uncle Ju Wu will not dare to come forward. Only in this way can the plan be carried forward. ”

"It's here, the plan is in place, and you can't stop it. I have to enter Qin, Yingzheng is too arrogant, only if he gives a fatal blow when he is the most unprepared, Da Yan can have any hope of survival. You can also see that the king did not stop it, he was too afraid of Yingzheng. As long as Yingzheng dies and the shadow in his heart is removed, he will have the confidence to lead the Yan people to survive in this troubled world. ”

Yan Dan asked again: "Except for my father, can't I be trusted?" ”

Jing Ke said frankly: "Time is running out, the prince's foundation in the Yan Kingdom is too weak, and his qualifications are still shallow, how can those powerful people listen to you?" Wait, put aside the internal dispute for the time being, our goal is the same, as long as Qin Wang Yingzheng is still alive, what is the use of our internal fight? ”

Thinking of Yingzheng, Yan Dan looked up to the sky and sighed, that person is too powerful, not only the shadow in King Yan's heart, but also the shadow in his Yan Dan's heart.
