The next day, Gao Yuan officially met with Prince Dan and Jing Ke in his study. After the three of them sat down, Gao Yuan also withdrew all the servants, and only the three of them were left in the room.

Gao Yuan said: "The prince, Shangqing, now there are only three of us, if you have anything to say, please say that there is no visit." ”

Jing Ke nodded and said, "Wu Anjun, under the ......"

Before he could say anything, there was a sudden change, and he saw Jing Ke get up suddenly, flip his wrist, revealing a short sword with cold light, and stabbed straight at the center of Gao Yuan's eyebrows.

Gao Yuan didn't dodge or dodge, his eyes were fixed on the stabbing short sword, and the prince Dan on the side was also startled, but before he could react, the short sword in Jing Ke's hand had stopped less than an inch in front of Gao Yuan's eyebrows. At this time, Prince Dancai called out "ah" and said, "Jing Qing, what are you doing?" ”

But the corners of Gao Yuan's mouth showed some smiles, and said: "Good sword, isn't this sword the fish intestine sword that the prince used to assassinate Wu Wanggong back then?" ”

Jing Ke shook his head and said, "No, this sword was forged by Mrs. Xu, and it was purchased by Tai Xiao for 100 gold, and it was used to assassinate Qin Wangzheng, and its benefits are still on the fish intestine sword." "Mrs. Xu is not a woman, but surnamed Xu, the name of Mrs., is a famous swordsmith in the Warring States Period, who is good at casting daggers and other short swords.

Gao Yuan said with a smile: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapon, with such a good sword, you can stab Qin." ”

Jing Ke's eyes shot out like lightning, and he stared at the plateau, "Why didn't Wu Anjun dodge." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Because your sword is not murderous, I know you won't stab it." ”

Jing Ke put away the short sword and said, "Wu Anjun, I'm offended." ”

Gao Yuan said with a smile: "There, Shangqing can really be the important task of assassinating Qin." ”

Tai Xiaodan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Jing Qing, you scared me a lot. He turned to the plateau again and said, "Wu Anjun, this time Jing Qing and I sent an envoy to Daijun, just hoping to discuss with Wu Anjun how to assassinate Qin." ”

In fact, Gao Yuan was also very shocked in his heart, although Jing Ke's original intention of this sword was not to assassinate himself, so it was not murderous, but with the current realm of Gao Yuan, he felt that he was very sensitive, and any slight changes could not escape his feelings, and the sword that Jing Ke stabbed was before he shot, Gao Yuan did not notice any signs, which shows that Jing Ke can shoot quietly in any environment, and he is indeed a suitable person to assassinate King Qin. In addition, it can also be seen that Jing Ke's martial arts should not be under him.

However, Gao Yuan's heart had another doubt, because in another time and space, Jing Ke's assassination of Qin ended in failure, but from the current point of view, judging from Jing Ke's martial arts, if he can really get close to Qin Wangzheng, then the success rate of assassinating Qin Wangzheng is still quite high. And once Jing Ke assassinates Qin can really succeed, he can at least bring himself about ten years of development time, and the benefits are of course very huge, so at this time, Gao Yuan did have the idea of helping Jing Ke assassinate Qin to succeed.

Gao Yuan pondered for a while before he said: "Tai Xiao is planning to assassinate Qin, I'm afraid it's been a long time, I don't know what the prince thinks in his heart." ”

Tai Xiao Dan smiled bitterly and said: "It's really not a secret, Ji Dan has been planning to assassinate the King of Qin for three years, but he has been looking for a suitable assassin. Saying that, Prince Dan's face showed a look of grief and said, "But I killed Mr. Tian Guang." ”

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "How did you say this?" ”

Jing Ke said on the side: "Taidan once told Mr. Tian, 'What you and I said, the major affairs of the country, I hope Mr. will not leak it', so I promised Mr. Tian to meet the prince and conspire with him, Mr. Tian said, 'Warriors do things, and do not make people suspicious.'" Now the prince told me not to leak the big thing, it was the prince who suspected Tian Guangya! To make people suspicious for the sake of doing it, it is not a warrior. You can meet the prince immediately, Yan Tianguang is dead, and he knows not to say anything! When he had finished speaking, he drew his sword and did not die. ”

Two tears flowed from the corners of Prince Dan's eyes, and he said, "Ji Dan warned Mr. Tian so that he was afraid that the people of the Qin Kingdom would also be ears!" It's not to let Mr. Tian Guang's death be a mistake! ”

Jing Ke said lightly on the side: "What a chivalrous do, repeating promises, light life and death, and having nothing to desire, if you are suspected again, wouldn't it be sad, so Mr. Tian will die to repay the Tai Xiao knowledge." ”

Gao Yuan listened, and was indeed a little surprised, it seems that the celebrities and chivalrous men of this era are indeed quite stylish, so they also nodded and said: "Mr. Tian Guang's demeanor is indeed admirable. ”

At this time, Prince Dan wiped his tears and said, "Wu Anjun, how should you proceed with the act of assassinating Qin." "In fact, this is another important reason why Tai Xiao Dan came to find the plateau, originally with Tian Guang's material, it was enough to resist the plan to assassinate Qin, but Tian Guang's accidental death disrupted Tai Xiao Dan's gathering, and this matter could not be discussed with others, so Prince Dan had to pin his hopes on Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan turned his head to look at Jing Ke and said, "Since Jing Qing originally intended to take on this important responsibility, he must have a plan, and I would like to hear the details." ”

After the three of them were alone, Jing Ke's demeanor was not at all like the high-minded and famous demeanor in the banquet, and he was introverted, no joy or anger, whether it was facing the plateau, or just now Tai Xiaodan grieved the death of Tian Guang, Jing Ke was silent, as if he had nothing to do with himself. Listening to Gao Yuan's question, Jing Kecai said: "In my opinion, if you want to assassinate Qin Wangzheng, you must have three conditions, one of which is to have a peerless weapon. ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "What about the second one?" ”

Jing Ke said: "You need to impress the King of Qin with heavy courtesy, only in this way can you be summoned by the King of Qin personally when you go to the Qin State, and you can have the opportunity to assassinate the King of Qin." ”

Tai Xiao Dan said: "Ji Dan has ordered someone to draw a map of Du Kang, drawn in coarse cowhide, pasted on three layers of silk silk, with copper shafts at both ends, one foot six inches wide, three feet six inches long, and the dagger can be rolled in the map. Moreover, all the place names and drawing methods in the map use the ancient names of Yan Kingdom, so no one can understand it without being explained. It only needs to declare that he will dedicate the land of Du Kang to Qin Wangzheng, and after Qin Wangzheng is successful, he will definitely ask the envoy to come forward to explain, and Jing Qing will have the opportunity to get close to Qin Wangzheng. ”

The land of Du Kang is also known as the land of Yannan, which is the plain and hilly area of the north of the Yan country and the south of Jicheng, the climate is warm and rainy, the land is fertile and suitable for farming, and it is the most abundant heartland granary of the Yan country. Yan Guo can be based on the world of the Warring States, and nine times out of ten it is the credit of the land of Yannan. The ancient name of Yannan is Du Kang, so it is called the land of Du Kang in Yan Kingdom.

Gao Yuan also nodded and said, "It's thoughtful." ”

Jing Ke said: "But only the map of Du Kang is not enough to impress the King of Qin, and Fan Yuzhi's head is still needed, only the combination of the two can make the King of Qin believe that the Yan State is truly subordinate to the Qin State." ”

At this time, Tai Xiao Dan said: "General Fan is still the last way to vote for me, Ji Dan'an endured to kill him for his own use, and this matter should be discussed in the long run." ”

Gao Yuan glanced at Prince Dan, then turned to Jing Ke and said, "What about the third point?" ”

Jing Ke said: "The deputy envoy of the same company, this person must be calm and natural, so as not to make the court of the Qin State suspicious." And I have to be alert, and the camera can help me, but this is the only thing that is still inconclusive. Because of the assassination of Qin, whether it is successful or not, he will definitely die, Jing Ke has put his life out of the way, and as a deputy envoy, he must also be a fellow who is willing to die with Jing Ke, only this point, it is difficult to choose. Only when these three points are in place can this assassination of Qin be successful. ”

Gao Yuan said: "Is there a suitable candidate for Shangqing?" ”

Jing Ke said: "I have traveled the world for more than ten years, and I have met two chivalrous warriors. ”

Tai Xiao Dan said: "Which two? ”

Jing Ke said: "Zhao people cover Nie, Lu people Lu Jujian." ”

Tai Xiao Dan smiled bitterly and said: "These two people are the current swordsmanship masters, Gai Nie has always been fond of swords, and his whereabouts are uncertain. ”

Jing Ke hesitated again and said: "In addition to these two, I have another candidate, which is still above these two, but I am not sure if I can say that this person can be moved, so I don't say it." ”

Tai Xiao Dan said: "Under Ji Dan's disciples, there are still Xia Fu, Song Yi, and Qin Wuyang, all of whom are brave and loyal people, if Jing Qing really has no suitable candidates, you might as well choose one person from among them." For example, Qin Wuyang, who is brave, once killed people in public at the age of thirteen, and calmly surrendered himself as a deputy envoy, so he can also be competent. ”

Jing Ke was noncommittal about this, and Gao Yuan said: "The candidate for the deputy envoy doesn't matter for the time being, I just want to ask Tai Xiao when he plans to assassinate Qin." ”

Prince Dan was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this, because before that, he had been looking for a candidate who could serve as an assassin, and after finding Jing Ke, he was completing the conditions proposed by Jing Ke, so he really didn't think about when to start implementing the plan to assassinate Qin Wangzheng, so he shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, what does Wu Anjun think it will do?" ”

Gao Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Then let me ask the prince again, in what name do you plan to let Jing Qing negotiate to envoy Qin State and cede the land of Dukeng to Qin State?" ”

Tai Xiaodan was also a little dazed, and said, "I ceded the land of Dukeng to the Qin State, do you still need any name?" ”

Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Yan and Qin did not have a territorial connection in the past, and there was no much hatred, Yan State ceded the land of Dukeng to Qin State for no reason, if I were Qin Wangzheng, I am afraid I would also have suspicions, if it was another country, maybe it would do so, but Yan State is the same as the descendants of the Zhou family, if it is not for the best of all, it will never surrender to the Qin State." Therefore, I think that only when the Qin army's troops reach the Yishui River, and the Yan State is in danger, can Jing Qing be sent to the Qin State without suspicion. ”

Jing Ke also nodded and said, "What Wu Anjun said is good, but with the current strength of the Qin State, I am afraid that in two or three years, there will be no more troops, so we still have enough time to prepare for the fullest, in order to succeed in one blow and reap the full success." ”

When Prince Dan heard this, he also said: "Okay, according to the two of them, only the soldiers of the Qin army will reach the Yishui River, and then carry out the assassination of Qin." ”
