Chapter 30: Chess Pieces

"Stop!"

There was a shout in the audience!

Jing Ke felt the sound of the wind above his head, and several blades stopped close to his forehead, and even his scalp clearly felt a chill.

On the other hand, Li Jie beside him is extremely stable and looks as usual. After using the "Fortune Exploration Eye" in an instant, I already knew that this knife was absolutely going to stop!

After hearing the general's order, the soldiers braked the knife momentum and put their knives on guard. The simplicity without hesitation shows that Fan Yu's training on weekdays is well-trained.

Fan Yuzhi saw that Jing Ruohan was still dancing like the wind, and after a few times, some soldiers fell to the ground. Feeling sorry for the loss of his soldiers, he hurriedly shouted again: "Jing family girl, look at the wall!" ”

When I looked up, I didn't know when, the walls of this garden were already covered with human figures. Each one with a sharp bow in his hand, the arrow on the string, the bow is full, and if the fingers are loosened slightly, whoever in this battle will be immediately shot into a hedgehog.

Jing Ruohan turned his head again and saw that his brother and Li Jie were under the threat of the soldiers' blades. Then he stopped his hands and feet, and glared at Fan Yuzhi angrily: "I miss you as a dignified general, you are so despicable." If you have the guts, you will face me off the field to the death! ”

Fan Yuzhi ignored her, raised his head and shouted to the wall: "Is it Vice General Jin who has arrived!" ”

A figure appeared on the wall, and the face of Vice General Jin appeared in the firelight. "Back to the general, the last general is here!"

"Good! {1+本}Read} novel ybdu" Fan Yuzhi nodded. Collect the knife, so that the surrounding soldiers spread out into a state of alert to surround Jing Ruohan. Said coldly: "I, Fan, use soldiers, only for the purpose." As long as the goal is achieved, it is victory...... You don't need to say more, none of you and your brother and the others can run away today. I miss your superb martial arts, and I don't want you to die under the arrows. It can kill you and your brother! Leave you all dead. ”

Jing Ruohan bit her lower lip and looked back at her brother: "Brother, the foolish sister is incompetent and can't keep you safe." Since you are going to die, my sister will kill a few more people to bury you with you! ”

Jing Ke shouted with tears in his eyes: "Ruohan, you don't have to worry about me. Your martial arts will definitely be able to escape, and you will help your brother avenge it in the future! ”

Jing Ruo turned his head coldly, and the blade of the sword in his hand pointed at Fan Yuzhi again: "You traitor, the world will not tolerate it." One day on earth I will kill you! ”

Fan Yuqi sighed: "Your brother and sister are so strong, if they are usually with you." But today it has come to this, and it can only be a pity. He knew that Jing Ruohan was skilled in martial arts, so he didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly shouted: "Listen to my order!" Kill Jing Ruohan quickly! ”

Jing Ruohan smiled sadly, not afraid. With his back to the wall and ignoring the bow and arrow, he only stared at Fan Yuzhi in his eyes, and the sword in his hand was clenched, and in a matter of seconds, the killing move was protruding!

"Put!" As soon as the order of the deputy general Jin came out.

Countless black shadows rained down from the walls.

Who would have thought!

This arrow blade actually hit the body of the elite soldier led by Fan Yuzhi!

Mutation! No one thought of it! Even the brothers and sisters of the Jing family were dumbfounded!

Only Li Jie was fixed and silent. Unbeknownst to others, all this happened in the aftermath...... It was already in his mind. At this moment, Li Jie's eyes looked around Fan Yuqi and his subordinates in the field, and there was less vigilance in his eyes, and more regret that others could not understand.

Fan Yuzhi shouted: "Vice General Jin! What are you doing?! ”

"Stop!" The figure of Vice General Jin appeared again. Holding his fists high and saying: "Today, I am on the orders of the prince Dan and the king, and I am here to see off the general." After the general goes, the last general will live up to the general's expectations and take on the heavy responsibility! ”

Fan Yuzhi's face flickered white and red, and he thought deeply for a while. Laughing and sighing, "No wonder! No wonder, this Prince Dan dares to make such a bold move today! I was pedantic and dared to force me to kill myself, and dared to let me go back to the camp, it turned out that this arrangement had been made a long time ago! You! Vice Admiral Jin, you are his real backhand! Everything should have been expected by Prince Dan until now, right?! ”

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of those who heard it couldn't help but tremble. This Prince Dan actually has such a scheming. I thought that the banquet was his cunning nature, but in fact, it was only the tip of the iceberg. He had already calculated that Fan Yuzhi would not obediently agree to his promise, and all the arrangements were to force Fan Yuzhi to rebel now, and solve it by his hidden chess pieces.

"Let's go!" Fan Yuzhi laughed loudly and slowly picked up the long knife in his hand: "I have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and I think I am invincible, but I am not as good as thinking about it in the minds of others. What's the point of being alive? Vice Admiral Jin, please do something. These soldiers have followed you and me for many years, and they are loyal and brave. When I die, please spare their lives. ”

The voice of the deputy general Jin at the head of the wall responded: "Please rest assured that the general is on the road!" ”

Fan Yuzhi turned his back to the air, raised his knife and cut horizontally, and a big head rolled to the ground. Blood spurted out of the cavity like a pillar, and the body still did not fall, and after a few moments, he actually knelt down on one knee magically, and set the shape with a knife.

Dozens of surviving soldiers in the field cried in unison: "General! ”

At this moment, the order of the deputy general of Jin sounded again: "Get the prince's order!" All the people in the mansion, except for the Jing family brothers and sisters and Li Zhuangshi, the rest of the people were all buried by the general! Shoot! ”

Whew! The rain of arrows scattered again. Countless screams rang out, and the sound became quieter, until only three people were left standing in the courtyard...... In the darkness, a figure that had been hidden for a long time jumped up from the wall and disappeared without a trace after several ups and downs.

At dawn the next day, the garden was cleaned. It's like a washed floor, like last night was just a dream.

A new group of slaves poured into the mansion garden, but this group of people had only one purpose: to dress up the Jing family brothers and sisters and Li Jie and arrange their departure.

At dawn, Prince Dan walked all the way with the newly promoted Jin general and other people, holding a brocade box containing Fan Yuqi's head, to see Jing Ke off.

On the bank of the Yishui River, a flat boat slowly floated to the opposite bank. On the departing shore, Prince Dan, who was dressed in white clothes and white hat, wept with his sleeves, and the old minister gradually left Fuqin and Yin.

On the flat boat, Jing Ke stood against the wind, the breeze raised the corners of his clothes slightly, his face was colorless, and he was indifferent to life and death, and generous to righteousness.

The figure on the shore gradually faded away, and Jing Ke seemed to have poetry reading aloud in his mouth: "The wind is dashing...... Xiao Xiao Xi ......". Like on weekdays, when he has nothing to do, Jing Ke likes a few lines of poetry, all of which start with Feng Xiaoxi, but today I don't know why, I haven't come out with a whole sentence for a long time.

Li Jie, who was sitting bored and watching the scenery, was a little anxious, and blurted out the familiar quatrain: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone!" ”

Suddenly looking back, I saw two lines of old tears on Jing Ke's cheeks, but he didn't cry bitterly.

"Cut!" Li Jie gave him a blank look. Li Jie knew that this guy's tears were definitely not because of the emotion he had just read the lyrics, this guy was definitely scared. Li Jie, who already knows Jing Ke's details, will naturally be able to figure out this guy's thoughts.

Now on the Yishui River, the former is a million Qin soldiers, and the latter is the prince of Yanguo; If you advance, you will have nothing to rely on, you will definitely die if you assassinate Qin, and if you retreat, you will be regarded as treason and will be beheaded. At this moment, in Jing Ke's heart, the omen of tomorrow can only be "ten deaths and no life". Not to mention escaping, there is no other way to escape......

Li Jie was ashamed to ignore him, looked left and right, and saw Jing Ruohan beside him leisurely on the flat boat as if no one was around.

Jing Ruohan, whose face seems to be stagnant water, stares at the reflection of the water surface, a pair of jade feet. In the water, she gently scooped up a handful of water with her bare hands, but it still slipped from her fingers, and the droplets of water fluttering in the wind bounced like pearls on her white gauze clothes.

With such a beautiful view, Li Jie was only stupid, and his face was unconsciously red.

In a trance, I recalled that the general manager who got along with Jing Ruohan was not only smart and beautiful like a fairy, but also had few opponents in martial arts. Suddenly, his heart jumped: although the trip to assassinate Qin had been facilitated, he had only completed half of the task. Another important link is to ensure that King Qin does not die. This Fan Yuzhi and a cadre of elite soldiers are still difficult to match Jing Ruohan. If she initiates a ruthless attack in this Xianyang Palace, the guards guarding the palace are afraid that it will be difficult to protect King Qin's life......

Li Jie, who was worried in his heart, did not show it on his face, and after calming down, he deliberately said with concern: "Is Brother Jing Ke still worried about the bad luck of this act?" ”

"Ugh." Jing Ke sighed deeply. He couldn't help but be even more worried when he was told by Li Jie's words: "Brother Li now knows that I don't have any martial arts. Now the boat has traveled here, and it will be on the other side in an instant. There was no way back behind him, so that Brother Wei felt that this trip was the end. ”

"Brother, don't worry, Ruohan will do his best to keep his eldest brother safe even if he fights for his life...... Well, so is Brother Li. Jing Ruohan lightly held Jing Ke's arm and said earnestly.

Jing Ke shook his head gratefully: "When your life is at stake, you must not be confused if you are cold. I know that I don't know martial arts, and it is really difficult to escape from the palace. If there is danger, remember to protect yourself. Leaving you alone can be regarded as leaving a furnace of incense for my Jing family. ”

"Brother." Jing Ruohan's eyes flickered with mist. I heard Li Jie next to him smile mysteriously: "Actually, I have a way to protect my eldest brother's escape." ”

"Brother Li has always been resourceful. Come on, if you can keep my brother out. This grace, if it is cold, it must be repaid with death! Jing Ruohan was excited, she had already convinced Li Jie in her heart. In the past two days, whether it is Li Jie's inference or decision, there has been no deviation, although Li Jie has not said what the method is, but Jing Ruohan has already affirmed: Li Jie said that if there is a way, then there must be a way!

"This stabbing Qin and stabbing Qin to death are two different things." Li Jie saw that the brothers and sisters of the Jing family still didn't understand, so he continued: "Big brother, Ruohan sister, let me ask you something. In order to understand the danger of the death of the country, the Yan Kingdom forced your brother and sister to go and assassinate Qin, but if you really kill the queen of Qin, can you really avoid the fall of the Yan Kingdom? ”

Jing Ke thought about it carefully, but still didn't understand what he meant. "What do you mean by that?"

Li Jie coughed twice, cleared his throat and said, "The danger of Yan State is not because of King Qin, but because the national strength of Yan State is much weaker than that of Qin State. It is not the King of Qin who wants to destroy the Yan Kingdom, but the big fish of the Qin State who wants to eat the small fish of the Yan Kingdom. Even if King Qin was stabbed to death, within two years, the second generation of King Qin would naturally continue to bring Qin soldiers to sweep the Yan Kingdom, and the Yan Kingdom would still be unable to resist at that time. Therefore, the assassination of King Qin to relieve the crisis of the Yan Kingdom is nothing more than a two-year postponement of the time of the death of the country. ”

glanced at the brothers and sisters of the Jing family left and right: "Force King Qin to sign a contract!" Sign a non-aggression pact! If King Qin dies, we, as assassins, will not be able to escape from King Qin's palace. But if King Qin doesn't die, I have a way to get out! ”

"What the hell is going on, tell me quickly. Are you going to die as a brother? Jing Ke anxiously urged. After all, it is a matter of life and death, and now Li Jie said that there is a way to get out is really a life-saving straw, so that Jing Ke, who was already determined to die, saw a glimmer of hope.

Li Jie saw that Jing Ke's appetite was full, and he no longer sold Guanzi. bluntly said: "When assassinating Qin, we can seize the King of Qin and force us to sign a contract, so that we can have a chance to keep the Yan Kingdom alive." Then, we can also take King Qin as a hostage and ensure that we return to China. When we return to the kingdom with the covenant in hand, if the king of Qin comes to invade again, he will be laughed at by the world! We can sign a ten-year agreement, and if Yan still has no national strength after ten years, it will be impossible to disobey the destiny of heaven if it dies again! ”

"The Xianyang Palace is heavily guarded, and it is really difficult to take King Qin out of the palace." Jing Ruohan thought about it and felt that Li Jie's speech was simply incredible. But the trust in his heart did not diminish, and his eyes burned intently as he stared at each other, expecting his next explanation.

Li Jie smiled: "It's not difficult. As long as the king of Qin is held hostage, he will be forced to prepare chariots and horses with his life. We got on the train with King Qin, and the carriage was closed so that the outside world could not see the situation inside. Forgive those Qin soldiers and don't dare to release the dark arrows at will. Then order his Qin soldiers to retreat for a hundred miles and not follow until we reach a safe place, and then leave the king of Qin behind. At this time, when they enter the forest or cross the river, they have no way to take us! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Jing Ke slapped Li Jie on the shoulder and praised loudly: "This plan is very good!" Sure enough, Brother Li is smart! In this way, we can not only give Prince Dan an explanation, but also return to Yan Kingdom smoothly. ”

Li Jie smiled, the method he just said was nothing new in his world. None of those kidnappers who kidnapped wealthy businessmen did that. In addition, there was no convenient means of transportation in the Warring States Period, not even walkie-talkies, and information transmission was slow. If everything goes well, Li Jie absolutely believes that the Jing Ke brothers and sisters can get out of the way.

Merely...... This history book indicates that Jing Ke died in the Xianyang Palace. If Jing Ke is saved, will it have any impact? Li Jie was inevitably a little worried.

But when he swept over Jing Ruohan, he made a sudden decision in his heart: since the wheel of life only said that he wanted to protect the life of King Qin and did not mention Jing Ke, then whether Jing Ke died or not was not in the scope of consideration.

turned to say earnestly: "The only requirement is that after going back, Brother Jing must be incognito, and he will not be able to see anyone from now on." Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that he will be killed by the troops sent by the King of Qin. ”

Jing Ke nodded violently and said, "Brother Li is thoughtful!" If the eldest brother and I can still live, I will return to the mountains and forests from now on. At that time, the three of us will be free and easy, and we will no longer care about the affairs of the world! ”

Jing Ke, who was very determined in his heart, was very happy at the moment, and suddenly grabbed Li Jie's shoulder and pulled him to his side and said, "It is also a blessing for a brother to meet Brother Li in this life. If Brother Li doesn't dislike it, why don't you marry me as brothers and sisters of the opposite sex? ”

Jing Ruohan also smiled and echoed: "Brother Li's virtuous character is unfaulted, if you can get married, Ruohan is very honored!"

"Brother and sister? Forehead. Li Jie hesitated and said, "It's okay......"

Jing Ke laughed, stretched out his arm to hug Li Jie and Jing Ruohan, and said loudly: "Okay! From now on, we will be three brothers and sisters! We are in the same hometown, and those cumbersome can also be abandoned, as long as the Dan heart can be expressed, the sky can learn from itself. From now on, I will be the eldest brother, and Ruohan will be your sister! ”

"Second brother, Ruohan is polite here." Jing Ruohan bent with a smile.

Jing Ke also said with a smile: "Second brother, when we live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, I will teach you the ability to raise flowers and grass." ”

Li Jie smiled and nodded. He knew that when all things were settled, it would be the day he would leave. I have mixed feelings in my heart, not a taste.

When he looked up and saw that the shore was approaching, he got up and beckoned them to wait for the shore.

Leaving Yishui, there are already people on the shore to answer. The three of them rode on the horses that had been prepared for a long time and galloped towards Xianyang, the capital of Qin.
