Chapter 70: Assassination, Jing Ke

Jicheng.

Qin Embassy.

Yan Yan looked at Concubine Yan, "There can't be any mistakes in today's sacrificial ceremony that I don't want to see, otherwise Donghuang Taiyi won't be able to protect you." ”

Concubine Yan didn't say anything, and walked towards the embassy with Yan Yan.

This is already the fifth day that they have come to Jicheng, and the auspicious day for the alliance chosen by the Yan Kingdom is today.

As a protector sent by the Qin State, this sacrificial ceremony was handed over to Concubine Yan to preside, and the words on the letter of alliance were all speculated by Yan Yan to ensure that the letter of state did not have any disadvantages to no one in the Qin State.

In the past few days, Yan Yan has learned a lot of information about Jicheng through Xuesong, the person in charge of Xuehua in the Martial Dance Hall.

The high-level of the Yan State, the contradiction between the King of Yan and the Emperor of Yanchun has appeared on the bright side, and this war against Zhao was initiated by the Emperor of Yanchun, Zhang.

Yan Chunjun united with the rebel Qin general Fan Yuzhi and most of the powerful generals in the court, and together decided to stand with Zhao and recapture the land of Yuyang that was taken by Zhao.

This news also made Yan Yan understand that King Yan's patience with Yan Chunjun had reached a critical point, and he was bound to find an opportunity to kill Yan Chunjun in order to control the situation in Yan Kingdom.

Yan Yan gave Cedar a task, that is, to let people start to publicize Yan Chunjun's benevolence in Yan Chunjun's fiefdom, and the people knew Yan Chunjun but did not know the rumors of King Yan.

He wanted to let Yan's foreign worries and internal troubles be carried out at the same time, weaken the national strength of Yan, and make preliminary preparations for the Qin army to attack Yan.

This is what Yan Yan has been doing in Jicheng these days.

In the temple of King Yan, King Yan and Yan Yan stood on the high platform with the national letter in their hands, and Concubine Yan was wearing a luxurious dark red sacrificial costume with a mysterious mask on her face.

Holding Yugui and singing the sacrificial words one by one, the three animals and the three animals, the wine and the wine were all placed on the altar.

Concubine Yan's incense burning, prayer, and sacrificial dance movements are matched with the sound of ritual music from the chimes, Xiao flute, drums, and chimes and yaoqin on the open space.

Concubine Yan stopped the sacrificial dance, and as a result, the national letters in the hands of King Yan and Yan Yan were read in a singing voice, and the two articles were reported to Haotian.

As Concubine Yan's tone continued to rise and fall, the sound of ritual music around her also began to rise and fall, and the dancers accompanying the sacrifice began to soothe their steps.

After reading them, Concubine Yan put both texts on the altar in the center of the altar and burned them with flames.

King Yan" has a feast. ”

A banquet after the sacrifice began to be staged, and Yan Yan, under the constant invitation of King Yan, drank the wine into his mouth.

At the end of the banquet, the carriage headed towards the Qin embassy.

In the carriage, Yan Yan's head felt that his head was swollen, and this banquet never stopped.

Concubine Yan looked at the mask in her hand, this was given to her by Yan Yan, she remembered that the Eastern Emperor Taiyi also had the same mask, and it was also a must-have for the people who were the main sacrificers in the major sacrificial ceremonies of the Qin State.

Concubine Yan looked at the carriage in front of her, and she couldn't see Yan Yan clearly.

The situation between Yan and Zhao became even more tense, the war between the two armies had already begun, and the Yan army was as Yan Yan said, under the counterattack of the Zhao army, the previous progress was completely stopped, and there was no progress at all.

Qin Embassy.

Yan Yan didn't think about anything, and emptied himself into nothingness.

Yan Dan came to the outside of the museum, he wanted to meet the person, but his footsteps stopped outside the museum, stood in place, and finally chose to leave.

Concubine Yan stood by the window, looking at Yan Dan's departing figure, the light flashing in her eyes dissipated, is this so?

The next day, Qin prepared to return to Qin, and King Yan led his ministers to see him off.

King Yan "Qin envoy went back to tell King Qin to send troops to attack Zhao as soon as possible." ”

Yan Yan "will definitely bring the words of King Yan below." ”

Yan Yan saluted goodbye.

The wheels made a crisp clatter on the bluestone slabs and headed out of the city.

Yan Dan looked at the distant vehicles and didn't see them for the last time.

Concubine Yan was in the carriage to comprehend the techniques of the Yin and Yang family, and she already had an answer, and she had a new insight into the comprehension of fate.

The convoy left Jicheng and appeared in the mountains and forests.

Two people appeared in front of them, arousing the vigilance of Qin Jun.

"My lord, there is someone blocking the way, saying that he is meeting your lord."

Yan Yan opened the carriage and looked at the two people in front of him who were surrounded by Qin Jun.

Yan Yan stepped out of the carriage and walked forward.

Under Yan Yan's entrance, the Qin army divided into two sides and gave way to one road.

Yan Yan looked at the Mo family's logo on the two of them, with a smile on his face.

Yan Yan "Mo family. ”

Jing Ke: "You are the Taishi Yan Yan of the Qin State." ”

Yan Yan didn't answer, but turned his head to look at the woods, where there were still three people hiding.

Qin Wuyang: "What do you ask?" ”

Yan Yan nodded, "It's officially below." ”

Qin Wuyang: "It's you who led the people of the Yin and Yang family to slaughter most of the ink disciples." ”

Yan Yan nodded, and at this time, Concubine Yan also came to Yan Yan's side.

Jing Ke: "You are from the Yin and Yang family." ”

Concubine Yan looked at the two of them, one of them was weaker than her, and the strength of this one was about the same as her.

Concubine Yan: "This person's strength is not much different from mine, if he wants to leave, it will be difficult to keep him." ”

Yan Yan: "Why do you want to stay, if you can kill it, you can kill it, and if you can't kill it, just let them run." ”

Concubine Yan nodded, she looked at Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang, her hands directly began to seal, and Qin Jun also began to attack with her movements.

Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang began to fight back, Jing Ke faced Concubine Yan, the remnant rainbow in his hand flew up and down, and he had dealings with Concubine Yan.

Qin Wuyang's sword slashed across the armor of the Qin army, leaving deep traces and the corpse of the fallen Qin army.

Seeing this scene, a commander of the Qin army personally led the light cavalry to start charging, and the heavy cavalry also put on armor as fast as they could, ready to charge.

Qin Wuyang looked at the Qin army that was rushing in, dodged lightly, dodged the Qin army's charging formation, and before he had time to rejoice, the crossbow in the sky had already struck.

Yan Yan looked at the battlefield in front of him, did not interfere, but waited for the final result.

Yan Yan, who was standing in the back, looked to the side, and the three people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead approached him.

Yan Yan still didn't let any reaction or movement.

There was a tremor under his feet, and the heavy cavalry of the Qin army began to attack Qin Wuyang.

The heavy cavalry of fifty cavalry rushed towards Qin Wuyang, who was suppressed by the crossbow, and Jing Ke saw that the movements in his hands increased at this scene, and he repelled Concubine Yan, and also swept towards Qin Wuyang.

At this time, the sound of three sharp swords slashing through the air sounded in the ears of Concubine Yan, Jing Ke, and Qin Wuyang, and all three of them moved to Yan Yan's position.

I saw that the three of them were holding sharp swords, less than a zhang away from Yan Yan.

Concubine Yan quickly turned around and flew towards the three of them.

Jing Ke took Qin Wuyang to dodge the Qin army's charge in a thrilling way, then left Qin Wuyang behind, and also rushed towards Yan Yan.

Yan Yan looked at the three swords on the opposite side, in his eyes, the speed of the three swords was very slow, and he could dodge it at any time.

As expected, Yan Yan's figure disappeared from the eyes of the three of them, and then the three of them only felt a pain in the back of their necks, and they fell on the road ahead with the momentum.

Concubine Yan turned around and struck Jing Ke is soul swimming dragon, turned into a three-legged golden crow and flew towards Jing Ke.

Jing Ke blocked the sword in his hand and cracked the three-legged golden crow, it was this delay that he lost the opportunity to attack Yan Yan to save people.

Yan Yan picked up a sword on the ground, pierced the back of one of them, and then moved his hand downward, and the sharpness of the sword was vividly expressed.

Jing Ke watched Yan Yan's movements, the movements in his hands became heavier and heavier, and his swordsmanship became faster and faster.

There was a golden air flow swimming between Concubine Yan's palms, blocking the remnant rainbow in Jing Ke's hand on the outside of her body, and she couldn't get close.

Qin Wuyang was also under the offensive of the Qin army, constantly dodging in the woods, and did not appear on the avenue at all.

The Qin army's crossbows also continued to radiate towards the woods, shooting the trunks of the trees into hedgehogs.

Yan Yan continued to walk towards the other person and began the same operation.

Concubine Yan's hands also began to redden, giving up her defense and Jing Ke began to attack hard against hard.

The blood handprint of the Yin and Yang family was extremely powerful on Concubine Yan's hand.

Jing Ke couldn't break through Concubine Yan's defenses, and could only watch the two of them fall apart under Yan Yan's sword.

Yan Yan then walked towards the last man, and under Jing Ke's roar, the sword passed through the heart.

The man opened his eyes and glared at Yan Yan, and the last voice came out of his mouth, "Hurry up." ”

Yan Yan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and his hands began to move.

The head is tilted, and the body is not struggling.

Jing Ke slammed hard, cracked Concubine Yan away, and rushed towards Qin Wuyang, and then the two disappeared into the woods.

Concubine Yan stood beside Yan Yan and saw that he was not in a hurry to pursue.

The three elders came over and saluted, "Please punish me." ”

Yan Yan "Gather your comrades and transport them back to China, leaving a thing with me to catch the thief." ”

"My lord, stay heavy or light."

"Light riding, you need to be fast." ”

"Yes."

Then the light cavalry was ready, ready to wait for Yan Yan's order, and the remaining Qin army began to gather their comrades and clean up the battlefield.

Yan Yan "sent ten people to explore the way and trace the footprints, and the rest set off. ”

Yan Yan and Concubine Yan sat in the carriage and followed the Qin army towards the route where Jing Ke and the two retreated.

Concubine Yan: "Your Excellency has long expected this. ”

Yan Yan: "No, I just didn't expect these people from the Mo family to be so stupid and couldn't see the situation clearly. ”

"In such a situation where a big war is approaching, it is really a blind sight to dare to attack the Qin State that is allied with Yan."

Concubine Yan didn't continue to say anything, and sat quietly in the carriage.

After Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang left quickly, Jing Ke asked Qin Wuyang to return to the Mo family's station to inform him of the failure of the operation, and told the Mo family disciples to flee quickly.

After the two separated, Jing Ke intentionally or unintentionally made some traces out, and then left quickly.

Qin Wuyang was in a panic, but his footprints were not well hidden, and he was still discovered by the Qin army.

Concubine Yan: "The two of them must have separated to disrupt our line of sight, which side is true and that side is false. ”

Yan Yan: "Regardless of whether it's true or not, you lead half of the Qin army to chase down this clue, and I'll go here." ”

Concubine Yan nodded and disappeared in front, with the cavalry following behind.

Yan Yan chased towards the route that Qin Wuyang left.

When it got dark, Jing Ke stayed at a place on the back of the mountain to rest, and after a day of running, he was already very tired.

"What is the purpose of the Mo family?"

A voice sounded above his head, Jing Ke looked, Concubine Yan looked at him condescendingly.

Jing Ke: "What purpose. ”

Concubine Yan: "The assassination of the envoys of the Qin State, is it your leader's arrangement?" ”

Concubine Yan looked at Jing Ke, who didn't speak, and nodded.

"The Qin State sent an army to save Yan, which is logically in line with your Mo family's idea of love and non-attack, so what would make the Mo family still choose to assassinate the Qin envoy?"

Jing Ke: "I don't know about this, I only know one thing, that is, the leader ordered that the Qin envoy should not be allowed to return to the Qin State, as for the reason, it is none of my business." ”

Concubine Yan: "I see. ”

On the other side, Yan Yan looked at the Mo family disciples who were leaving in an orderly manner in the valley, and ordered the Qin army to prepare.

The crossbow in Qin Jun's hand opened, and with a wave of Yan Yan's hand, the crossbow missed launch.

The sound of the crossbow breaking through the air was discovered by many leaders of the Mo family, and they began to take out weapons to fight back.

The Qin army continued to fire hand crossbows, and each round of attacks always selected a few lucky disciples.

After the Qin army's crossbow was fired, Yan Yan ordered a group of five people to start attacking.

Yan Yan walked behind, this should be a small hiding place, there were not many people, when they caught up, most of the disciples had already withdrawn, and there were not many remaining Mo family disciples.

Yan Yan walked towards the leaders, and as he approached, several of them felt fear in their hearts.

Yan Yan discarded a piece in his hand and walked towards the house.

House after house was covered in the footprints of the flames, and there was nothing left here.

Yan Yan came to the last room, there were wild chrysanthemums planted outside the house, Yan Yan glanced at it and pushed the door in.

There was an injured man lying there in the house, and Yan Yan approached.

A crisp voice rang out, "Who are you?" ”

Yan Yan: "Who are you?" ”

"My name is Liji, I was injured when I went up the mountain to collect medicine, and I was saved by the people here."

Yan Yan: "Liji. ”

Liji snorted, then looked at Yan Yan and said, "Who are you and why do you have a lot of blood smell on you." ”

Yan Yan didn't answer, and then a Qin army asked the outside world again, "My lord, all the areas have been searched, and there is no living mouth." ”

Liji's eyes instantly contracted, and she looked at Yan Yan and said, "There is no one alive, you kill them." ”

Yan Yan nodded, and then he left the room to let Qin Jun transport Li Ji out, and then asked Qin Jun to gather all the corpses together, and even burned the house with the corpses in one fire.

Liki looked at the raging fire in front of her, devouring everything that was here.

Yan Yan looked at her and said, "Where is your home, send you back, we should also leave." ”

Liki didn't speak, still looking at the flames in front of her.

Yan Yan asked Qin Jun to transport her to the carriage and headed in the agreed direction.

When the carriage was out of the flames, Riki said, "Why did you kill them?" ”

Yan Yan: "Because they want to kill me, so I will kill them." ”

It was only then that Liki remembered that during her recuperation, the people outside the house had been talking about someone to assassinate, and that person must have been him.

Yan Yan: "You also saw it, we are not from Yan Kingdom, so your home is there, and we will leave when we send you back." ”

Liggie: "Home, no home. ”

"The war has destroyed my home a long time ago, so I would have fled here to collect medicine to make a living, otherwise I would have died under the battle formation."

"My lord, take me out of here, and I will repay you by being a cow and a horse."
