Chapter 269: Suspend the Advance
A hidden place in the mountains and forests.
More than a dozen people dressed in the costumes of the Qin State Assassins quietly hid here.
There were also more than a dozen people beside them, it was Wang Fugui, Jing Ke, Gao Yanli, etc., who had been hiding here for a long time in order to avoid being pursued by the Yan army.
Although the two sides acted together, they kept a relatively safe distance.
Gao gradually glanced at the Qin State assassin in the distance, and asked in a low voice, "Why did my brother let us kill those people?" ”
Wang Fugui did not answer, but asked, "Is the news of the Yan army's withdrawal confirmed?" ”
Gao Yuanli nodded and said, "This matter is confirmed." ”
But soon, Gao Yanli's face immediately showed a solemn look: "Ran Gongzi Jia died at the hands of the Yan people, so that King Zhao launched the Six Kingdoms to attack Yan, and now the army of the Six Kingdoms has invaded the Yan Realm, or it won't be long before the troops will come here." ”
"Yan Guo, I'm afraid there will be a disaster of losing the country!"
Gao Yanli's face showed a little pain, and the Yan Kingdom knights who followed him also had heavy faces when they heard the words.
Even if they are open-minded, they are Yan people after all, and they are not willing to watch their country perish.
Although Wang Fugui and Jing Ke are not Yan people, they also sighed slightly when they saw Gao Yuanli, who was like a brother, like a brother.
"Perhaps, there is someone who can save Yan Guo from the disaster of losing the country."
Just when the atmosphere became heavy, Wang Fugui suddenly spoke up.
Gao Yanli shook his head and sighed when he heard this: "Gongzi Jia died at the hands of the Yan army, even if the Qin State did his best to help, he could not keep the Yan Kingdom, except for the King of Qin, who else has the ability to protect the Yan Kingdom!" ”
Wang Fugui suddenly pointed to the opposite side, a young man wearing the costume of an assassin of the Qin army and said, "What the King of Qin can't do, this person can." ”
When everyone heard this, they turned their attention to the young man.
Even though this person was masked and dressed in ordinary black-clothed assassin clothes, he still looked heroic, and his gestures had the momentum of a superior person.
The rest of the Qin State assassins were obviously the only ones who were the first to look forward.
Everyone's eyes attracted the attention of those Qin State assassins on the opposite side, and they pressed their swords one after another, staring at Wang Fugui and the others vigilantly.
Wang Fugui did not explain to the stunned crowd, but got up and walked towards the young man.
"Stop!"
Just when Wang Fugui walked within ten steps of the young man, he suddenly heard a hoarse voice, and suddenly the alarm was loud, and the muscles in his body subconsciously tightened.
"Sure enough, it's you!"
Wang Fugui looked up at the masked man who spoke up, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"There's no malice in the next place, it's just to visit Pingqi-kun."
"Now that the Yan army has all retreated, and the army of Zhao is about to arrive here in a few days, Pingqi Jun is not worried about his life, so there is no need to be so nervous."
The young man who was blocked behind him pushed aside the guards in front of him, slowly took off his face towel, revealing a handsome face.
This person is the son of Pingqi Jun, who is rumored to have died.
As early as when the female leader of the Black Ice Platform ordered a retreat, Zhao Jia changed his clothes with the guards who looked like him, and even handed over the seal ribbon and jade pendant to the guard, but he put on the clothes of the assassins of the Qin State, and retreated among the assassins of the Qin State under the protection of more than a dozen strong guards.
Although the Yan army was also killing the assassins of the Qin State, the strength was far from that of Zhao Jia's subordinates.
In addition, Zhao Jia used Li Daitao's stiff strategy, so he escaped with his life, and when he met Wang Fugui and others in the process of hiding, he recognized the identity of the other party, and knew their intention to enter the mountain, so Zhao Jia did not kill anyone.
As for Wang Fugui, he also felt the aura of the border city, and saw that the border city treated the masked Zhao Jia so respectfully, so he quickly guessed Zhao Jia's identity, so he didn't let Gao Yanli and the others do it.
In this way, the two sides that seemed to be hostile joined forces to evade the pursuit of the Yan army.
Zhao Jia also knew that he was safe, so he simply stopped hiding his identity, and said in a deep voice: "In the past, when the reflection lake of Chu State was goodbye, I never thought that I would be able to meet a strong man here. ”
After seeing Zhao Jia's face clearly, Wang Fugui immediately bowed and saluted: "Wang has seen Pingqijun!" ”
When Gao Yanli and the others heard the conversation between the two, they were immediately stunned, and they all stared at Zhao Jia in disbelief, who was wearing the costume of an assassin of the Qin Army.
Zhao Jia stepped forward to hold Wang Fugui's arm, and said with a straight face: "From your conversation, this gentleman already knows that the reason why you and others went deep into the dangerous place is to save me. ”
"It was inconvenient to reveal your identity before, so I couldn't thank you, and now you strong men still ask Zhao Jia to bow down!"
Zhao Jia's actions undoubtedly proved his identity, and Gao Yuanli and others were shocked but also overjoyed.
If Zhao Jia hadn't died, then Yan Guo would really have been saved.
Wang Fugui smiled bitterly and said: "We thought that there would only be a small number of assassins from the Qin State, so we didn't come to the rescue with all our might, but I never thought that we would actually see the army fighting, so that we couldn't come in handy at all, how could we dare to receive such a big gift from the son?" ”
Zhao Jia looked at Gao Yanli and the others, and said, "Most of you are Yan people, but you are willing to sacrifice your life to save me, a person who has nothing to do with the enemy country. ”
"Don't talk about anything else, just this kind of friendship is enough to make Zhao Jia remember it."
When Gao Yanli and the others heard this, they all felt warm in their hearts, feeling that their actions were really not in vain, and at the same time, they all secretly thought that Zhao Jia was able to have today's achievements, and it was really not a fluke.
Just this kind of bearing can convince strangers and be willing to die for them.
Gao Yanli walked over and arched his hand: "Although we are Yan people, we have long heard of the heroic deeds of Gongzi, and we have admired Gongzi for a long time. ”
"How could such a hero as Gongzi die at the hands of an assassin!"
"It is precisely for this reason that we came with Brother Wang and prepared to help Gongzi, but unfortunately it failed to work, I am really ashamed!"
Not to mention the identities of the two sides, the atmosphere became happy.
However, it was said that Lian Po, who was commanding the army and invaded the territory of Yan State, suddenly received an order from King Zhao to suspend the use of troops, which couldn't help but make Lian Po feel a little inexplicable.
At this time, King Zhao was also entangled.
Originally, according to the original plan, by taking advantage of Zhao Jia's death in Yan Land, he could take the opportunity to destroy the Yan State and let the Zhao State grow.
It's a pity that it is only now that King Zhao knows that things are not as simple as he imagined.
According to the development of the situation, it is not difficult to destroy Yan, but the difficulty is how much territory Zhao can divide after destroying Yan.
Countries can tolerate Zhao to destroy Yan to avenge Zhao Jia, but they must not tolerate Zhao to monopolize the territory of Yan and become the second strong Qin.
This matter, when the coalition forces were just formed, had already revealed some clues.
Jiang Qu's personal visit, as well as the tempting conditions put forward by the other party, even King Zhao felt extremely moved, which made Lian Po postpone his march.
