Ascending the steps, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang walked to the door of the main hall, bowed down again, Jing Ke lowered his head, held the wooden box containing the map of Du Kang high above his head, and said loudly: "Jing Ke, the envoy of the Yan State, and Qin Wuyang entered the map of Du Kang to see the King of Qin. ”

Before the words fell, Jing Ke heard a sound of trembling robes behind him, Jing Ke knew that Qin Wuyang couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure in the end, so his behavior was out of control, and his whole body trembled, but he still held his breath and didn't turn his head to look at Qin Wuyang.

Although Qin Wangzheng sat in the deepest part of the main hall, he could see the abnormal changes in Qin Wuyang clearly, in fact, not only Qin Wangzheng, but even the ministers of the Qin State also saw it, and there was a small discussion in the main hall. Because the performance of the envoys of the Yan Kingdom is really rude.

Qin Wangzheng sat on the throne, frowned slightly, and was also very dissatisfied with the gaffe of the envoys of the Yan State, because the Qin State spent a lot of effort to ask the Yan State to surrender and pay this time, and also deliberately put on the gift of the Nine Guests, and the Yan State envoy was out of shape when the palace was not only a loss of Yan Guo's face, but also a great loss of face for the Qin State. ”

Jing Ke turned his head to look at Qin Wuyang, in fact, during the time he walked up the steps, Jing Ke had already thought of a statement in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Returning to the king, a person from a small barbarian state in the north, he has shallow knowledge, and he has not experienced the majesty of such a great country, the face of the Son of Heaven, so he is afraid, trembling, and rude, I hope the king will be magnanimous and forgive." ”

Qin Wangzheng was slightly stunned, and couldn't help laughing, and Qin Wangzheng's smile also drove the ministers of Qin State to laugh together, and the entire hall was full of laughter for a while, even a few celebrities who were specially invited to watch the ceremony, although they held their own identities and did not make a sound, but the corners of their mouths couldn't help but bring out a hint of laughter.

Although Qin has become the first power in the world for nearly a hundred years, because in the eyes of the six eastern countries, Qin will always be a barbarian state, which has also become the biggest resentment in the hearts of Qin people, and although Yan is weak, it has always been an orthodox and noble family, full of the mentality of an old nobleman, although in that regard, Yan is far inferior to Qin, but in front of the Qin people, Yan people always have to put on a shelf of a big state, which is completely a pay" Although Lao Tzu is not as good as you now, his ancestors are much wider than you". Of course, Yan Guo is not just targeting Qin State, but is such a face to that country.

And the envoys of Yan State, who have always been known for their arrogance and reserve, knelt respectfully in front of him at this time, claiming to be a barbarian small state, and called Qin a big country, and also called Qin Wangzheng the ancestor, completely without the arrogant and domineering appearance of the past, how could he not make Qin Wangzheng happy, so he didn't care about Qin Wuyang's gaffe.

It's just that no one noticed that among the people in the main hall, only Gao Yuan and Han Teng didn't laugh, Han Teng looked at Qin Wuyang thoughtfully; And Gao Zheng quietly moved his cloth bag, moving from the diagonal back cloth bag to his body.

After the smile in the hall stopped, King Qin Zhengcai said: "Okay, you will not travel thousands of miles, come to the Qin State, present the map of the governor, and ask for it, the meaning is commendable, and the widow will not blame it, even if the deputy envoy is out of shape, you will enter the palace with the map of the governor." ”

Jing Ke hurriedly gave another salute and said, "Thank you, King." Then he opened the box, took out the map of Du Kang, and stuffed the box into Qin Wuyang's arms, at this time Qin Wuyang was still trembling, his lips trembled, and he didn't know whether he was trembling or wanted to speak, but he didn't say a word. And Jing Ke ignored him, looked at the map of Du Kang with both hands, and entered the main hall. In fact, as early as before entering the gate of the Middle Palace, a soldier searched the two and confirmed that the two were not carrying weapons, so the armor guarding the door of the main hall did not stop them.

Jing Ke walked to the steps, officially bowed to the King of Qin, and said: "Jing Ke, the envoy of the Yan State, see the king, may the king live forever." ”

Qin Wangzheng nodded and said, "The Yan Kingdom surrendered to Qin and offered land and people, and this king is deeply pleased. Give the envoys of the Yan State a flat body. ”

Jing Ke said: "King Xie." He stood up, then raised the map above his head, and said, "This map is the original map of Du Kang, and it is dedicated to the king today, please take a look at it." ”

Speaking of this, Jing Ke's heart couldn't help but feel nervous, this is the most crucial step to assassinate Qin Wangzheng, because the dagger of Mrs. Xu used to assassinate Qin Wangzheng is hidden in the map of Du Kang, and Jing Ke must be close to Qin Wangzheng to have a chance to assassinate Qin Wangzheng. You can't read this map, so let me explain it to you.

However, the world is unpredictable, even if Qin Wangzheng needs Jing Ke to explain the map of Du Kang, it is very likely that he will bring the map over first, let Qin Wangzheng take a look at it first, and then invite Jing Ke to come and talk about it. Therefore, despite Jing Ke's calmness, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly with his hands holding up the map of Du Kang.

Qin Wangzheng smiled slightly, and said: "Last time, Yan Guo presented a copy of the map of Du Kang, and the widow could not understand it, this time it is the original of the map of Du Kang, so I asked the envoys of Yan State to send the map to the widow, explain it to the widow, and give him a seat." ”

Jing Ke listened to it, and also breathed a sigh of relief, of course, even if Qin Wangzheng asked someone to take the map of Du Kang, Jing Ke would try his best to send the map to Qin Wangzheng, if it still didn't work, then Jing Ke could only do it in advance, but now Jing Ke is still more than ten steps away from Qin Wangzheng, nine steps, and eighteen armor guards in front of the steps, within this distance, the probability of success is almost zero.

And now Qin Wangzheng spoke up and asked Jing Ke to take the map up the steps and come to him, this was the opportunity that Jing Ke couldn't ask for, so Jing Ke's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy, his heart beat faster, and the muscles on his face couldn't help twitching a few times. Fortunately, Jing Ke was lowering his head at this time, so no one noticed.

However, Jing Ke is a calm person after all, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, stabilized his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Weichen Zun order." Only then did he raise his head, only to see a round stool to be brought and placed in front of several cases of Qin Wangzheng.

At this time, Jing Ke had completely calmed down, holding the map of Du Kang in both hands, and walked up the platform step by step, while also secretly observing the terrain on the high platform.

The height of the high platform is about six feet, the length is three zhang and six feet, the width is five zhang and four feet, there are three steps in front, one on the left and one on the left, and the case of Qin Wangzheng is about one zhang and two feet away from the step mouth. In addition to Qin Wangzheng on the entire high platform, there were only four waiters, two standing on the left and right sides behind Qin Wangzheng, and the other two standing at the stairs in front, and all of these four waiters had no weapons.

In order to assassinate Qin Wangzheng, Jing Ke did a considerable study of the system of Qin, according to the system of Qin, without the order of King Qin, no one is allowed to step on the high platform, even if he is on the stage, he is not allowed to carry any weapons, judging from the current situation, this is indeed the case, so it can be said that this environment is a great opportunity that Jing Ke dreamed of.

Of course, the environment on the high platform is not all favorable to Jing Ke, there are at least two unfavorable factors, one is the case in front of Qin Wangzheng, which is five feet wide and nine feet long, like an extra-large couch, which can just separate Jing Ke and Qin Wangzheng, but according to Jing Ke's estimate, as long as Qin Wangzheng is close to the case, he can still stab Qin Wangzheng; The second is the long sword worn by Qin Wangzheng, which is the only weapon on the entire high platform.

However, Jing Ke did not expect that all the environment would be favorable to him, and that the current situation would be very good, and in Jing Ke's heart, it was estimated that the assassination would be successful, at least seventy or eighty percent sure, and for an assassin, there was seventy or eighty percent certainty, which was a very good opportunity.

Although these thoughts alternated in Jing Ke's mind, only a few seconds had passed in the actual time, and Jing Ke had already come to the case, put the map of Du Kang on the case, bowed to Qin Wangzheng, and said, "King, please forgive the ministers for being rude." Then he sat on the round bench in front of the desk, turned the scroll in a circle, and let him face Qin Wangzheng, and said: "The king, please look, Du Kang, it is the hinterland of the ancient Ji country, and it has been more than 600 years since it returned to Yan. The secret of the governor, the land is rich and ......" as he spoke, his hands moved together, and he slowly unfolded the thick scroll.

And Qin Wangzheng's hands were holding the table, his body leaned forward slightly, and he was engrossed in staring at the cowhide scroll that was unfolding.

"Look, King, this is ......"

The map was about to be fully unfolded, Jing Ke's right hand was still spreading the map, and his left hand was pointing to a point on the map, attracting Qin Wangzheng's attention. Jing Ke has practiced this set of movements hundreds of times, and he is extremely proficient and natural.

Sure enough, Qin Wangzheng's gaze was immediately attracted by the position pointed by Jing Ke's left hand, and his body involuntarily moved forward again, and his hands were also placed on the edge of the map, and said, "What is this place?" "And I didn't notice that the picture was gone.

At this moment, I only heard a ** shouting from under the high platform: "The king is careful, see you in the dagger." ”

Qin Wangzheng's heart was shocked, his eyes swept obliquely, only to see that at the end of the scroll, a dagger suddenly appeared!

Although Jing Ke didn't know who shouted this, he couldn't stop at this time, not to mention this set of actions, he practiced hundreds of times, and it had already become a conditioned reflex, once it was made, it must be done together, not endlessly, so at the moment, his left hand was already stretched out like lightning, and he grabbed Qin Wangzheng's sleeve with a full hand, and his right hand swept away, and the dagger was already in his hand, stabbing Qin Wangzheng in the chest.
