Chapter 9 Different Paths to the Same End Ninety-Three Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin

Taking advantage of the Chu-Zhao War, Zhao had no time to look west for five years, Fusu took the opportunity to recuperate in Qin, and his national strength was greatly restored. And Zhao Gao was not willing to fail, after he and Zhao Cheng fled from the Qin State in embarrassment, he went straight to Handan, but unfortunately it was just in time for Xiang Liang to lead the army to attack Northern Chu, the war was in full swing, and Zhao Kuo and Ji Xue were not in Handan City at all.

Zhao Gao walked into a tavern on the corner of Handan Street in despair, never thinking that here he accidentally met Ji Dan, the incognito prince of Yan Kingdom. At this time, ten years have passed since the fall of the Yan Kingdom, and although the heroic prince of the royal family is now only in his early forties, he is already full of white hair and has a face of vicissitudes.

After some verbal temptation, Prince Dan took Zhao Gao directly to his temporary residence, and the two frustrated people sat on the ground facing each other, and continued to drink a few jars of wine.

When it was time to get drunk, Prince Dan suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Zhao, do you want to take charge of Qin Zhenghu again?" ”

"My surname is not Zhao! I...... I am the son of King Zhuangxiang...... Win...... Wincom! Zhao Kuo slammed on the floor in a huff.

"Good, good! Regardless of whether the adult's surname is Ying or Zhao, Ji Dan only asks, do you want to return to Qin and recreate the world? Zhao Gao's words just now surprised Prince Dan, but he still sat quietly.

"Ho...... Why not! It's just ...... Meng Tian had a heavy palm, helpless......" Speaking of sadness, Zhao Gao couldn't help but show a trace of sadness on his face. Meng Tian and Fusu won the support of the ministers in the court, and now Zhao Gao is already disheartened, and he no longer has any expectations for the throne of Qin.

Prince Dan just smiled slightly: "Dan has a plan, or he can help adults." ”

Zhao Gao got up after hearing this, and said leisurely: "What are you waiting for?" Tell me about it! ”

"Ran Dan has a word first, if your lord is in charge of the Qin State, how should you repay me?" Prince Dan suddenly put away his smile.

"I ...... If I am the king of Qin, I should raise the army of the country to help...... Help the prince recover the Yan Kingdom! With the strength of the wine, Zhao Gao swore and patted his chest and promised.

"Words have no evidence, but they must be proved by evidence." Prince Dan solemnly got up and walked to the bookcase, and casually unfolded a blank roll of parchment, "Your Excellency, please." "All this Prince Dan has actually been planning for many days, just waiting for Zhao Gao to appear today.

At this time, Zhao Gao was like a gambler who had lost all his wealth, how could he have the slightest hesitation, he immediately sat down on the bookcase, took up the pen and set up the note, and took out the seal letter from his waist and pressed it heavily on the parchment.

"So you can say it!" After the handwriting was a little dry, Zhao Gao re-rolled the parchment and leaned over to hand it to Prince Dan.

Prince Dan took the parchment, carefully put it in his sleeve, and then said slowly, word by word: "Ji Dan's plan, assassinate Fusu, cause civil strife in Qin, and take advantage of the situation to seize the throne." ”

"What?" Zhao Gao's eyes suddenly widened, staring at Prince Dan like a monster, "Fusu is heavily guarded and guarded, even if he is dedicated to being resurrected, it is difficult to do it!" The prince really dares to think about it! Don't mention it! Zhao Gao shook his head desperately, and returned to his original listless appearance.

"Your Excellency's words are wrong!" Prince Dan had expected Zhao Gao to react like this, and he continued unhurriedly, "Ji Dan has found a strong man on the shore of Yishui, named Jing Ke, this person is skilled in martial arts, and has many strategies, which can be of great use. ”

"This ......" Zhao Gao's eyes turned, and he said in his heart that he has nothing now, even if Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin, there would be no harm in himself, "I don't know where this person is now?" Zhao asked in a high voice.

"The stakes are very high, my lord, please follow me north to Yan, and when I meet Jing Ke, I will make plans." Seeing that Zhao Gao agreed, the boulder that had been hanging in Prince Dan's heart finally fell to the ground......

Five years have passed in a flash.

Jing Ke was extremely cautious in his plan to assassinate Qin, he first purchased an extremely sharp dagger from Madame Xu, a famous swordsmith of the Zhao Kingdom, and then asked Prince Dan to secretly find the best craftsmen in Yandi, so that he could quench the dagger with poison.

Everything is in place, but how can you bring the dagger to the side of King Fusu of Qin without being discovered?

After thinking hard for several days, Jing Ke finally decided to hide the dagger in the dark compartment under a jade box, and the jade box contained the seal of King Yan that was brought out of the palace by an old chamberlain desperately and handed over to Prince Dan when the Yan Kingdom fell.

This seal represents the supreme right of King Yan, and Prince Dan has been hiding by his side for ten years, even if it is the most critical moment of life and death, he is not willing to throw it away. But now if Wang Xi is not sacrificed, Jing Ke will be difficult to approach Fusu with a dagger, in order to complete the great cause of recovering the country, although Prince Dan is heartbroken, he still gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

When the special Tibetan dagger jade box was completed, Jing Ke and his deputy envoy Tian Guang embarked on the road west to Qin.

Zhao Gao had already sneaked back to Qin to arrange soldiers and horses before Jing Ke, and Prince Dan reluctantly sent Jing Ke and the others to the Yishui River. Looking at Prince Dan's white clothes and white crown, Jing Ke's heart suddenly swelled with a sense of tragedy, accompanied by Xiao Xiao's autumn wind, Jing Ke couldn't help but sing excitedly: "The wind is Xiao Xiao Xi is easy to be cold...... The strong man is gone, and he will never return......"

Jing Ke sang several times with tears in his eyes, and then suddenly bowed deeply to Prince Dan, and without looking back, he pulled Tian Guang to board a caravan waiting not far away, and walked away.

When Jing Ke and his entourage arrived in Xianyang, they met the Qin king Fusu and the general Meng Tian hunting at the northern foot of Nanshan.

"The king, Yan Guo's secret envoys Jing Ke and Tian Guang ask to see you." Captain Pegasus of the Protector Army came to the Fusuma team.

"Nonsense! The Yan Kingdom has long since fallen, how can the secret envoy of the Yan Kingdom come from? Fusu frowned.

"Yes...... But someone came to hold the seal of King Yan in his hand, claiming to have a secret letter to hand over to the king. The captain of the escort raised his head hesitantly and reported in a whisper.

"Oh?" Fusu hesitantly turned his head to Meng Tian beside him, "What does Meng Gong think?" ”

Meng Tian sat on the horse, hugged his fists and said, "Since this is the case, the king might as well see it." ”

Fusu then nodded and ordered, "Then please ask the Yan envoy to come over." ”

After a while, Jing Ke and Tian Guang, who had undergone a strict body search, slowly came to a place a few feet away from Fusu surrounded by dozens of armor soldiers: "Jing Ke and Tian Guang, the envoys of the Yan State, were ordered to enter Qin and see the King of Qin. ”

"Say what." Fusu sat on his horse and waved his hand expressionlessly.

"This is a secret letter from Prince Yan, please ask the King of Qin to open it personally." Jing Ke took the silk book from Tian Guang's hand and held it respectfully above his head.

Seeing this, the chief waiter who was standing on the side hurriedly stepped forward to take the silk book and handed it to Fusu.

After reading Prince Dan's letter, Fusu raised his head and asked lightly: "Ji Dan wants to restore Yan Kingdom, but how many people are there?" "It turned out that Prince Dan asked Qin in his letter to send troops to attack Zhao at the same time when he raised troops to restore Yan. Prince Dan promised that as long as he returned to the country, he would respect Qin as the suzerain, pay tribute every year, and be a minister every year.

"There are 50,000 Tibetan soldiers in Liaodong, all of whom are elite in a hundred battles." Jing Ke replied without hesitation.

Fusu still pretended to hesitate after hearing this: "It's just, how can this king believe in Ji Dan's sincerity?" "Fusu understands that the Chu-Zhao War has just ended, and there is no doubt that Zhao's next target must be Qin. At this time, if the restoration forces of Yan State can be used to contain Zhao State, it will also be able to gain valuable time for Qin State to reorganize and war.

"This is the seal of King Yan, and the prince is willing to use this seal as a quality to show his sincerity." Jing Ke said as he turned around and took the jade box containing Mrs. Xu's dagger from Tian Guang's hand.

The chief waiter was just about to step forward to pick it up, but he didn't want to be reprimanded by Jing Ke: "The weight of Wang Xi, how can you and other eunuchs bear it?" Speaking of this, Jing Ke suddenly held up the jade box and bowed deeply to Fusu, "The prince personally instructed that this seal must be presented to the King of Qin by his ministers!" ”

Fusu still had the slightest doubt at this moment, he immediately waved his hand and smiled: "Okay, you can come forward to offer the seal." ”

Jing Ke took a deep breath, secretly calmed the nervous emotions in his heart, and then straightened up after saying yes, holding the jade box and walking towards Fusu step by step.

According to the etiquette of diplomatic relations, the king should dismount and wait at this time as a sign of respect. Although the Yan State has long since perished, the Qin State still needs the Prince Dan to contain the Zhao State after all, so Fu Su thought for a moment, but turned over and dismounted.

But at the moment when Fusu was about to reach out to pick up the seal, he saw Jing Ke suddenly press the bracket hidden at the bottom of the jade box. Before everyone around him could react, Jing Ke had already thrown down the jade box, jumped up like lightning, and stabbed the dagger straight into Fusu's left chest, Fusu screamed miserably, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The incident happened suddenly, and when all the guards swarmed up and chopped Jing Ke and Tian Guang into meat puree, they turned around to look at Fusu, who was already blue and black, and had no breath......
