Chapter Twenty-Four: Jing Ke Assassinates Qin
At the end of the map, the dagger appears!
The cold light brightened the eyes of the three of them.
Jing Ke didn't say a word, he reached out and took the dagger, as long as the blade was in his hand, he could take the tyrant's life in an instant and solve the danger of the world hanging upside down.
But between the lightning and flint, Jing Ke's hand fell into the air.
There was a hand that was faster than him.
At the moment when the picture unfolded, he already held the dagger of Mrs. Xu, which was known as the world's sharp blade, in his hand.
"King, retreat!"
"The traitor is so bold that he dares to assassinate!"
The ministers exclaimed, especially the ministers standing behind the hall did not react at all, and the whole scene was a mess.
In the midst of this chaos, the two sturdy young men leaped to their feet, like flying eagles and horses, and rushed straight towards the assassin in front of the king's case.
"Quiet!"
King Qin's voice was as cold as ice, and it seemed to carry some kind of magic, just one sound, which quieted down the chaotic scene.
Even the two Lang Wei warriors who rushed over stopped under the raised palm of King Qin.
The eyes of the pearl were still calm, and the sudden assassination did not cause the slightest fluctuation, as if everything was under his control.
King Qin looked at the two people facing each other in front of the case, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and there was a hint of banter in his eyes.
"Fear of death?"
"Don't be afraid."
"Why is that?"
Jing Ke stood in place, staring at Zhao Tuo beside him.
A young man dressed in messenger costume was holding a dagger and pointing it at his neck.
If Jing Ke moved, the dagger would pierce his vital point, and blood would be splattered on the king's case.
Zhao Tuo's face was calm, he had thought a lot about it beforehand.
He thought he might be scared, he might be nervous, and he might regret it.
But when it really happened, he realized that he was actually very calm.
The heart is like a rock, and there is not a trace of trembling.
Facing Jing Ke's question, Zhao Tuo said firmly: "The world." ”
"The world?"
Jing Ke's brows furrowed.
King Qin on the emperor's couch also narrowed his eyes.
The ministers below were stopped by King Qin, and they didn't dare to move, so they could only listen to the young man's words while being vigilant.
"The nations have been fighting each other for years. Between the four seas, the corpses are full of rivers, the bones cover the wilderness, the people suffer, the common people suffer, only the current King of Qin can stop the war. Only the Qin State can rule the world to end this cruel and chaotic era. ”
"Yes, for the sake of the world, King Qin can't be killed!"
Zhao Tuo's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his words revealed incomparable firmness.
These words reached the ears of King Qin, making this king, who had always been calm and composed, show a surprised look for the first time.
Jing Ke frowned and said, "Ridiculous! ”
"What you say is just to stop fighting. If you want to stop fighting, then you should be as Zi Mozi said, the big does not attack the small, the strong do not insult the weak, the people do not steal and widow, and the deceit does not deceive the foolish, then all the countries in the world should not harm each other with water, fire, poison and weapons. ”
"But what I heard, I saw that the king of Qin was tyrannical and the country of Qin was brutal. Since Hui and Wu, the Qin State has gone east to harm the world. Seize the west of the Wei River, Cuihan, occupy the Yan Ying and Wu Qian of Chu, die for two weeks, and Bashu. It can be described as the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and it only wants to destroy the people. ”
"Today, the Qin State has broken Zhao and died in Han, and its heart to destroy Yan is known to the world. Such a murderous country, a tyrannical lord, wars are all provoked by him, how can the stability of the world be restored! ”
"If the king of Qin really wants to stop the world from fighting, then he should stop the war, return the land of the princes, and restore the destruction of Han Zhao's Sheji, and from then on, if the countries do not invade each other, then the world will decide itself!"
Jing Ke spoke coldly.
"Bold, traitor nonsense!"
The ministers in the palace roared angrily, and some people wanted to step forward to kill Jing Ke.
"Stand down."
King Qin frowned slightly, and drank those restless ministers back.
He was on the Emperor's Throne, only six feet away from the two Assassins, and if the two joined forces, they could have escaped the king's case and assassinated them in an instant.
But the King of Qin was undaunted.
His face was calm, not only stopped the ministers who wanted to come forward to protect him, but also straightened his spine, sat upright, and listened to the arguments of Zhao Tuo and Jing Ke.
King Qin's gaze fell on the young man in front of the case, and there was a hint of anticipation.
"According to what Jing Qing said, it seems that all the wars in the world were caused by the King of Qin and the State of Qin?" Zhao Tuo asked.
"Isn't it? You are also a Zhao person, you should know that in the Battle of Changping, your Zhao State was killed by the Qin people 450,000 young people, and the whole country mourned, which has never been done since ancient times. Even if he is cruel and vicious, he has never done such evil things! The tyranny of the Qin State is not more terrifying than that of Xia and Shang! ”
Jing Ke scolded angrily.
Zhao Tuo was not annoyed, since King Qin had no intention of stopping them, then he was here to express his intentions.
Jing Qing's words are wrong. If the wars all started from Qin, would the world be stable without Qin? ”
"Don't say anything else, just look at whether the Qi State took advantage of the internal strife in Yan and sent troops to destroy Yan, is it related to the Qin State? Looking at the Wei attack on Hexi and the destruction of the Song by the Qi State, are the five kingdoms attacking Qi provoked by the Qin State? If you look further, the battles of Guiling and Maling are also the power of the Qin State? ”
"Even if there is no Qin State in the world, there will be Wei State, Qi State, Chu State, and even Nayan State, Zhao State, and South Korea to provoke war!"
"Jing Qing, you complain that the Qin State destroyed Han and Zhao Sheji. Then may I ask the 800 vassal states at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, how many countries are still surviving today? ”
"You only saw Qin destroying Han Zhao and annexing Bashu. Can you ever think of the three divisions of Jin, Han annihilation of Zheng, Zhao annihilation of Dai, Wei annihilation of Zhongshan, Qi annihilation of Song Ji Tan Yan, Chu State slaughtered all the princes of Huaisi, and collected all the land of Jiang and Han. Even if it is a remote Yan country, it occupies the land of the endless and lonely bamboo in the past, and even the thistle capital of Yan country was only taken by destroying the Ji country. ”
"If you follow what Jing Qing said, you want Qin Fuhan and Zhao Sheji. Should the princes who were destroyed by the Six Kingdoms also be restored? Can the kings of Yan, Wei, Chu, and Qi agree to this? ”
Facing Zhao Tuo's stern questioning, Jing Ke was asked for a while, stunned on the spot, and it was difficult to answer.
Zhao Tuo's voice was fierce: "Jing Qing, you have only seen the killing caused by the Qin State since its eastward departure. But I didn't see how long since King Zhou You was killed in Lishan and the confrontation between Ping and the two kings, how long have the countries in the world been fighting? ”
"Five hundred years! Five hundred years! ”
"How many princes have been destroyed in 500 years, and how many people and commoners have perished?"
"Countless! The list goes on! ”
"So the world must be unified!"
"Only when the world is set to be one, will there be no bloody battles between the princes for many years, and there will be no scenes where the white bones are hidden in the wilderness and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles!"
"Therefore, the king of Qin can't die, he not only wants to be the king of Qin, but also the king of the world!"
"Today, only King Qin can end these five hundred years of turmoil and bring true stability to the people!"
"Prince Dan made Jing Qing assassinate Qin for his own selfishness, intending to inflict the pain of one person on the pain of all the people."
"I don't want to do this!"
When Zhao Tuo said that he was emotional, his blood was surging, his passion was surging, and his sonorous voice echoed in the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
Jing Ke looked at him in shock.
His Royal Highness's ministers were also dumbfounded, they never expected that a childish who had not yet been crowned would have such insight, far beyond the people present.
King Qin on the emperor's couch looked moved, and his eyes were full of brilliance.
At this moment, his heart moved.
Jing Ke sighed, he looked deeply at the high-spirited and arguing young man in front of him, looking at the young man who had been regarded as an assistant.
Jing Ke thought he could see through him and control him.
As it turned out, he was wrong.
"I don't know as much as I am."
Jing Ke closed his eyes.
When I opened it again, my eyes were full of determination.
Zhao Tuo is right or wrong.
None of them have anything to do with Jing Ke's choice.
Prince Dan treats each other with the secretary and reciprocates each other.
He will also repay the promise.
His words must be believed, his deeds must be fruitful, he has promised to be sincere, he does not love his body, and he goes to the danger of the soldiers.
This is the hero of the world, and it is his belief in Jing Ke.
Jing Ke jumped up and threw himself empty-handed towards the King of Qin behind the emperor's couch.
In that short moment, there seemed to be illusory scenes in front of Jing Ke's eyes.
When he was a teenager, he studied with a sword.
As a young man, he traveled around the world.
When you are middle-aged, you have to meet a confidant.
In a trance, he returned to the happiest time.
Yan Shi was drinking, Gao gradually left to hit the building, and in the sad and agitated tune, Jing Ke sang loudly.
"Drift away, fade away."
The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone!
