Chapter 8: Li Xin
General Qin was about thirty years old, tall and eight feet tall. His face was handsome and angular, his eyebrows were as high as sharp knives, and his eyes shone aggressively.
"Take it out, I'm going to see my old friend."
He walked straight and spoke to Qin Wuyang, who was the deputy envoy, with an irrefutable momentum.
Qin Wuyang's face was cloudy, he looked at the sword-wielding soldiers behind General Qin, and the Qin army not far away with the sound of drums, and he didn't dare to refute for a while.
But if he presented the gift of King Qin to the Qin general in front of him to watch like this, Qin Wuyang knew that this was not polite.
Not to mention, he clearly knew that he and Jing Ke were still tasked with assassinating the King of Qin this time, which caused his spirit to be in a tense state at any time, and at this moment, in the face of the aggressiveness of a Qin general, his body trembled involuntarily.
In the rear, the Yan soldiers guarding Fan Yu's head and the Tu carriage were all nervous, their palms resting on the hilts of their swords and crossbows, ready for battle at any time. But the tightly bitten lips and trembling hands betrayed their fearful hearts.
For a time, the situation was tense to the extreme.
Zhao Tuo was very relaxed, looking at Qin Wuyang's deflated expression, his mind was very comfortable.
Don't look at this Qin General's momentum, but he is sure that the other party will never dare to grab it.
Today's King Qin has a strong and resolute personality, especially after cutting off the forces of Chang Yu and LΓΌ Buwei, he has become more and more domineering, which can be shown from his personal visit to Handan to kill the enemy after he destroyed Zhao.
Fan Yuzhi was originally a general of the Qin State, but fled to the Yan State for committing a major crime.
His parents and clans were all killed by the King of Qin, and a reward of Fan Yu's first level of gold was offered, and there were thousands of households, which shows that the King of Qin's hatred for him was very strong, and he was eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Therefore, the head of Fan Yuqi is something that King Qin wants to see.
It is also the bargaining chip that Jing Ke must have if he wants to successfully assassinate Qin, only with this head can he really get close to King Qin's side and get that once-in-a-lifetime assassination opportunity.
Under such circumstances, as long as Qin Wuyang firmly refused, the general of the Qin State in front of him would never dare to force his move, otherwise once there was a slight mistake in the first rank, King Qin would not be able to spare him.
Moreover, Wang Qian, the general in the camp, has always been known for his steadiness, and he will not allow his generals to make the mistake of robbing the Yan State as a gift.
But Qin Wuyang lowered his head, not daring to answer, and his frightened body couldn't say the words of refusal.
General Qin sneered and walked past him and went straight to the carriage loaded with treasures behind him.
At this time, Jing Ke came out of the tent.
"General, slow."
He strode over, his posture as tall as a pine and cypress, and he understood the general situation just by glancing at it.
It's useless.
Jing Ke withdrew his gaze from Qin Wuyang, he had already noticed this person's external strength. But when he really saw that Qin Wuyang was showing a cowardly appearance in the face of Qin Jiang, there was still disappointment in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that his friend hadn't arrived, and Prince Dan urged him in every possible way, how could he allow this gentleman to be his deputy.
Perhaps, a change of deputy envoy is a good choice.
Jing Ke took Zhao Tuo's relaxed expression into his eyes, but this was not the time to think about this.
He retracted his mind and went straight to General Qin.
"General, this is the treasure of the King of Qin presented by the Yan Kingdom, and it has been stated through the letter of the state that the order of the non-king shall not be lightly opened. This is a gift of diplomatic relations between the two countries, doesn't the general know? β
Jing Ke's voice was quiet, turned into a sharp arrow, and went straight towards Qin Jiang.
General Qin stopped and turned his head to look at Jing Ke, his eyes were like torches, and his frowning brows were like a sword about to be unsheathed.
"I'm going to see the old man Fan Yuzhi, just one glance."
Jing Ke did not back down, "When the envoy arrives in Xianyang, he will definitely tell King Qin clearly." β
The two looked at each other, and the flames collided.
In an instant, the Qin general retreated, he retracted his gaze, and turned to leave.
"It's Ben who is abrupt."
"Dare to ask the general's name."
"Li Xin."
β¦β¦
Zhao Tuo felt that there was something wrong with Jing Ke's gaze at him.
After coming out of the Qin army camp, he found that Jing Ke had his eyes on him from time to time.
Especially Zhao Tuo's hands.
The gaze was deep, and there was a faint hint of a certain longing.
"Could it be that the records of the wild history are true?"
"This Jing Ke won't want my hand."
Zhao Tuo was frightened in his heart, he still remembered that in his previous life, he had read a wild history story about Jing Ke from the Internet.
It is said that when Jing Ke was treated as a guest of honor by Prince Dan, Prince Dan was very good to him and used all means to satisfy Jing Ke's various habits.
Once, Jing Ke and Prince Dan watched the pond in the East Palace, and Jing Ke saw that there were turtles inhabiting the pond, so he picked up stones and tiles to smash the turtles.
When Prince Dan saw it, how could I be a dignified guest of Yan Kingdom and smash the turtle with tiles, it was unseemly.
Come, bring the nuggets!
The attendant brought a plate of gold nuggets for Jing Ke to smash the tortoise, and when the gold nuggets ran out, someone came in to serve them.
Jing Ke had been smashing the turtle for a long time before stopping.
He also said, "It's not that I spared the prince's gold nuggets, it's because my arm hurts." β
One day, Jing Ke and Prince Dan rode a thousand miles together, and while walking, Jing Ke suddenly said: "I heard that the liver of Maxima is very delicious, I don't know if this is the case." β
When Prince Dan heard this, he immediately asked people to slaughter the horses, take out the horse liver and make it delicious, and serve it to Jing Ke to eat.
What a pity!
Wonderful Maxima liver!
Later, Prince Dan held a banquet on the platform of Huayang, and sang with wine.
In the wine, Prince Dan called the beauty to play the piano to help the fun.
Jing Ke stared at the hand of the piano player with his deep gaze.
"What a pair of hands that are good at playing the piano, it's beautiful."
Prince Dan immediately gave this beauty to Jing Ke.
Jing Ke shook his head and said, "Don't be a beauty." I just like her hands. β
Prince Dan understood.
He asked people to drag the piano girl down.
After a while, someone came in with a jade plate containing a pair of beautiful bloody hands.
Jing Ke in this story is afraid that he is not a pervert.
The wild history story of unknown origin went over in his mind, Zhao Tuo felt a chill in his back, and regretted that he was too eye-catching when he was framed by Han Nan, not only provoking Qin Wuyang, but also being favored by Jing Ke.
But Zhao Tuo had no other choice at that time, if he didn't try his best to defend himself, he would definitely be killed by those red-eyed rangers and become Han Nan's scapegoat.
It was unrealistic to want to escape immediately, Zhao Tuo could only tremble and act as a royal hand for Jing Ke, while looking for a chance to escape.
Fortunately, the development of things was not as bad as Zhao Tuo expected, although Jing Ke paid special attention to Zhao Tuo, it was limited to some conversations and questions, which made Zhao Tuo shrewd and perfunctory.
Jing Ke didn't do anything too much to him.
On the contrary, Qin Wuyang provoked from time to time, or came over to instruct Zhao Tuo to do things when he was eating, or found some excuse to scold Zhao Tuo in public.
Zhao Tuo endured this. In today's world, there is a difference between the noble and the low, even if Jing Ke looks at Zhao Tuo differently, but his identity is just a driving man after all.
Compared with Qin Wuyang and other noble relatives of Yan State, the gap is very large, not to mention that Qin Wuyang is still the deputy envoy of the team.
Zhao Tuo held back this breath to death, it was okay for him to endure it, Qin Wuyang would not dare to kill him directly, that would completely offend Jing Ke.
But if Zhao Tuo dares to fight back, Qin Wuyang will definitely take the opportunity to rise up and kill him, and even Jing Ke will not be able to speak at that time.
After the convoy left the Qin army camp stationed in Zhongshan, escorted by a Qin cavalry, it passed through Dongyuan and Bairen in a few days, and went straight to the heart of Zhao Di, and arrived in front of a magnificent ancient city.
Handan!
