The clouds are long, rendering the heavens and the earth into a deep white desolation, covering the sky and the sun, and the rugged road seems to extend to the endless ethereal, confusing people's minds.

Jing Ke walked alone in the winding mountain paths, the road was long and haggard.

What was at the end of the road? What was driving him in this direction? Jing Ke was suddenly confused.

He paused for a moment beside a large rock beside the tree, a thick mist enveloping him, and faintly he heard the sound of the slow flow of water. He sighed, and guessed that he must be very embarrassed now! He suddenly wanted to see how embarrassed he was at this moment, and a strange masochistic pleasure urged him to follow the sound of the water.

A gentle river was beside him, and he walked quickly to the river, trying to wash his face with a handful of water, but he could not find the river. The fog was so heavy that he could hear the sound of the water around him, but the river seemed to be playing hide and seek with him, always flickering and ethereal. He ran around frantically, looking for the sound of the water, and raised his body, but he still couldn't see in which direction the river was on, and even almost crashed into the rocks and trees in the white fog several times.

In his anxiety, he suddenly found himself in the water. A bone-piercing chill rose from the soles of his feet, and the water was waist-deep, and he leaned over and couldn't even look at his face......

The fog is too heavy...... He shook his head in frustration.

Reaching out and scooping up a handful of clear water, in the mist, he held the clear water in his palm close to his face, so close that it almost touched the tip of his nose. Then he saw a face in the water, a cold, deep face with a cold gaze.

Ah, King Qin!

He splashed the water in his hand in a panic, his body softened, and he fell into the water again......

Jing Ke woke up from the dream and found that he was sweating profusely and soaked the couch.

Living in Yan Country, another year has passed in the blink of an eye. In the dream, it has always been such a confusing situation, and when I wake up, the lonely mood haunts my heart like a fog in a dream. He longed to see Liki, but Liki was no longer around, not even in his dreams.

Over the years, Jing Ke has not dared to forget his mission for a moment.

In order to take revenge, he did not forget to study silk day and night and practiced swordsmanship. The Gongsun Yu family martial arts that he fused with the "Eighteen Swords of the Heavens" created by himself have become more and more mature, and his swordsmanship has reached its peak at this time, and it has been widely known in the Yan Kingdom.

Jing Ke has been waiting, waiting for a good opportunity to fight back with one blow. Now, the time has come, and his assassination of Qin is already a matter of time.

However, no amount of self-improvement can withstand the loneliness that has always flickered in my heart because of Liji's disappearance.

Suppressed lovesickness, unclear national hatred and family hatred, he spent years and years of indistinguishable bitterness. These days of no longer being with Ligi were at first a moment and a moment of waiting, then a day and a month, and finally a day and a month to calculate, and finally became a day of pain and sorrow like years.

In the days when he didn't see Liji, Jing Ke, who was tormented by longing and had no way to vent, often let himself get drunk and wander after practicing the sword, and he always wanted to use wine to kill his sorrow and wash away the bitterness that choked in his throat.

On this day, when he was drinking in a simple tavern on the edge of Jicheng, he raised his head in a drunken daze and looked out the window at the thinning mountains and forests in the distance.

"Liji......" Jing Ke shouted in surprise, and strode out of the hotel and ran under the peach trees in the forest.

"Senior brother......" He faintly caught a glimpse of Liji's teary eyes, and responded to his call in a soft voice.

"Liji!" Jing Ke was surprised and delighted, and excitedly flew up to the peach tree to hug it, and in a trance, he threw himself into the air fiercely, and slammed into a majestic tree.

The peach blossoms in the forest flickered, and Liji's figure disappeared suddenly. I saw an ancient tree covered with withered vines, and it was born of such a beautiful illusion because of my excessive thoughts. The violent impact brought the half-drunk Jing Ke to his senses.

The hallucination can wake up, but the depression in the heart can't wake up, Jing Ke can't help singing, the song is mixed with stalks, it is so desolate and pathetic.

It was the same song that Liggie had sung softly on the pillow beside him.

Just as Jing Ke recalled the lingering situation in the past and sang loudly, he suddenly heard a passionate sound of building in the distance, high-pitched like a lonely goose hissing, and the sound of building tightly tightened the hatred and sorrow in Jing Ke's heart, so that he couldn't be himself, and sang more loudly, a song and a building complemented each other, and it actually merged into a tragic and poignant moving momentum.

Jing Ke sang in chorus while following the music and strolled back to the tavern.

Next to the tavern and beside the tree and rock, a middle-aged hermit with a thin body, cloth robe and a fairy like a fairy sat cross-legged on the boulder and raised his eyebrows. When the middle-aged hermit saw Jing Ke coming, he raised his head slightly, with a smile on his face, but he kept building, and after his eyes met Jing Ke for a while, the sound of Zhu turned suddenly, and the three folds went up in a roundabout, which was even more tragic!

Jing Ke heard the sound of the surging chest, stopped beside the middle-aged hermit, and sang more and more recklessly. For a while, the song was built and started, attracting the sideways eyes of passers-by, and the number of onlookers gradually increased, only to see that the two were still unattended, intoxicated. At the end of the song, after a long time, I saw Jing Ke and the middle-aged hermit silently looking at each other silently, and the passers-by gradually dispersed. Jing Ke was wondering if the two could be as familiar as old friends who had been separated for many years, and the middle-aged hermit smiled and said, "You're finally here. Jing Ke was even more surprised, and wondered, "Brother Tai is looking for me?"

The middle-aged hermit nodded, "Yes. That day, I happened to see you drunk and singing on the street, and I knew that you must be a person who suited my nature, so I am here to bring you here today!" Jing Ke suddenly said: "In Xia Jing Ke, I see Brother Tai's awe-inspiring bearing, I don't know why Brother Tai is a master?" The middle-aged hermit smiled when he heard this: "Where is the master?

Jing Ke was pleasantly surprised: "Jing Ke has long heard that Brother Gao's craftsmanship is exquisite, and today I am fortunate to hear it with my own ears, and it is indeed worthy of his name!" Gao gradually sighed suddenly: "I am here to build a wandering, just because there is no place for this troubled world, and the rivers and lakes are down, so I can only play this sad sound!" After speaking, he hit another song, and the sound was endless.

It turns out that Gao Yuanli is also an ambitious and ambitious person in this troubled world, he has nothing to do with him, and some are just accompanied by a building, which is still the case today, and it will still be.

After indulging in Zhuyin for a while, Jing Ke's expression suddenly gloomy, and he bowed his head and said, "I am Liji, and I will keep my life for the time being, but what's the use!" After speaking, Jing Ke suddenly raised his head and pointed to the sky and said excitedly: "If God has eyes, return me Liji, I will stay with her for the rest of my life, forever and forever!"

Gao Yanli sighed: "Brother Tai must have suffered from the love of his children, but it's a pity that God has no eyes for a long time, otherwise how can he let the King of Qin run rampant in the world?"

With these words, Jing Ke's sleeping heart of revenge was awakened in an instant, and he hurriedly said: "The love between the children and the younger brother made my brother laugh. Gao gradually laughed three times, put his hand on Jing Ke's shoulder and said, "There is affection and righteousness, this is what a real man does, how can I laugh!"

Jing Ke was relieved: "Those who know me, senior brother also!" The two of them immediately sang again.

After a while, Jing Ke and Gao gradually heard a noisy voice not far from the street in front of them, and someone scolded and walked towards this side. The man who took the lead had a blue and purple patch on his head, apparently having just been beaten indiscriminately. Some of the people who followed him were also covered with scars, and those who were not injured seemed to be muttering something in their mouths, but they could not hear clearly because they were still far away. Jing Ke and Gao Yanli were a little curious, so they got up and inquired.

The men shook their heads to themselves, and said, "I can't beat him." Then he sighed and walked away. The two were even more puzzled.

"It's so deceitful!"

"Isn't this a roadblock?"

"It's unreasonable to have to collect money for walking!"

Jing Ke became more and more puzzled, and approached the crowd to understand what they were talking about angrily. Hurriedly grabbed one of them and asked, "What happened?" The man was talking about Xing, when he was suddenly startled by Jing Ke's abruptness, and saw that Jing Ke was wearing a bronze long sword, like a person who practiced martial arts, so he refused to say more. At this time, Gao Yanli stepped forward, respectfully clenched his fists and asked the man, "This little brother doesn't need to worry too much, we just want to ask, what did you just say that 'you have to collect money for walking'?"

The man carefully looked Gao Yuanli and Jing Ke up and down a few times, and seemed to have reduced the uneasiness in his heart, and no longer avoided it, and complained angrily: "Today, there is a bully on the road ahead, and he is guarding under the big tree next to the road to collect money from people. He also said that if anyone beat him, he would not be charged, otherwise he would have to pay the toll obediently. There were also those who refused to pay, but they were all beaten by him and retreated back with injuries. But that road, which was the only way in and out of the city, was now blocked by him. Isn't this a clear roadblock robbery!" After speaking, it was still difficult to hide the anger in his heart.

"Doesn't the government take care of it?" Gao said angrily, frowning.

"In these years, the government knows how to reach out to the people to ask for money, where will it care about such a thing!" A middle-aged man next to him also interjected indignantly.

After hearing this, Jing Ke's face was awe-inspiring, and without saying a word, he swept his clothes and strode forward. Although Gao Yanli didn't know Jing Ke's skills, just looking at his extraordinary bearing, he must not be such an ordinary person. At this moment, seeing Jing Ke striding away, he estimated in his heart that he was going to take care of this matter, so he quickly followed.

Walking to the entrance of the avenue, the two of them saw a stout man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a hateful face, standing in the middle of the avenue menacingly, with a large coarse cloth bag in front of him, asking a passer-by for money. A teenager about ten years old walked by with his head held high, and he didn't seem to take the bully seriously. "Give money!" The big man suddenly drank, and the copper sword in his hand was sheathed, which immediately frightened the young man into three steps back, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. The big man proudly withdrew the bronze sword and laughed wildly: "You kid, you don't dare to come and pick up the tiger's whiskers without asking what the uncle is about? Remember, the uncle is 'a sword powerhouse' Zhu Ba!

"It's really such a miscellaneous!" Gao Yuanli on the side sighed when he saw this, but seeing that Jing Ke beside him did not move, he could only hold back his anger and wait for the changes.

The young man was humiliated, his face was red, and he was furious, so he picked up a stone beside him, and threw it without hesitation, and the stone smashed towards Zhu Ba. Zhu Ba was startled at first, then his face sank, and with a wave of the copper sword in his hand, with a "clang", the stones flying forward fell to the ground with a muffled sound, and then he screamed: "Boy, you are such a big dog, don't you want to live anymore!" Then he raised a kick and kicked at the young man's lower abdomen. The poor young man was not a martial arts practitioner, with a little courage and brute strength, he couldn't dodge it, and in his fright, he only felt a gust of wind approaching, so he could only close his eyes, grit his teeth, and resign himself to fate.

"Brother Jing?" Gao Yanli felt that his sideways forward arm was suddenly grabbed, and when he turned around, he saw Jing Ke signaling him with his eyes not to act rashly. Recruiting land, at the last moment, a flying leg resisted Zhu Ba's fierce kick, and finally saved the frightened young man from the bad luck of having his intestines pierced.

Between the legs fighting, only the sound of "Kala" was heard like a broken bone. "Hmm......" Zhu Ba looked hideously holding a leg that seemed to be hot, curled up on the ground, unable to speak. Reluctantly fixed his eyes, he saw a burly man appear in front of him, with a dignified appearance, glaring at him with angry eyes, and couldn't help but tremble.

Dahan grabbed the young man on the ground with one hand, patted him on the shoulder, and signaled that he could leave with confidence. The young man was frightened, and after glaring at Zhu Ba fiercely, he just quietly retreated to the side, and did not leave, he wanted to see what happened next.

Seeing this, Zhu Ba snorted coldly, and hurriedly transported his internal strength to his legs, and after a while, he quickly kicked the big man with a beautiful roundabout flying leg as if he had received divine help. In the face of the oncoming threat, the big man returned a "tiger tail kick" in a hurry.

The legs intersected again, entangled for a moment, and seeing that he was about to suffer again, Zhu Ba suddenly pumped his legs, he originally wanted to be able to kick the big man hard and take revenge. Who knows, when he met the natural power of the big man, he let him easily take his own kick.

"Okay, good!" The crowd around finally saw that someone had taken action to stop Zhu Ba's viciousness, and they all applauded. Especially the brave young man who was the most energetic. And Jing Ke and Gao Yanli, who were watching coldly, were silent, and secretly praised what the big man had done.

Zhu Ba saw this round of secret competition, he obviously fell behind, his face suddenly felt dull, and he was ashamed and angry, but he was not to be outdone, gritted his teeth desperately, pulled out the bronze sword, and used a trick "rain to beat the remnant lotus", and flew towards the big man's chest, trying to turn the tide.

The big man is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he has been on guard for a long time, and when he saw Zhu Ba actually use a yin move, he couldn't help but be even more angry, so he shouted, his legs were linked, and he quickly swirled and kicked Zhu Ba's sword-holding right hand.

Zhu Ba has been immersed in kendo for more than ten years and has rich experience, as soon as he saw the big man's move, Liji's wrist flipped, and the bronze sword slashed horizontally towards the big man's flying legs. Dahan was also surprised to see that he changed his moves so quickly, and hurriedly retracted his legs and retreated, so he dodged and gave way.

The people around saw that Zhu Ba actually drew his sword to attack the big man with his bare hands, and shouted one after another:

"If you have the ability, you will fight with your bare hands, and you will fight with your bare hands, and you will use your sword against your empty hands, it's too despicable and shameless!"

"Shameless villain, have the courage to put down your sword and fight it alone!"

"Dirty!"

......

In the midst of the uproar, Gao Yuanli, who had been silent for a long time, also followed Jing Ke forward. He was quite surprised, and wondered why Jing Ke didn't subdue that Zhu Ba, but instead stood by and watched, so he said, "What does Brother Jing think of that Zhu Ba's swordsmanship?"

Jing Ke had already sensed Gao's thoughts, and smiled slightly, "It's a bit of a sight to behold. 」

Gao gradually couldn't understand the deep meaning of Jing Ke's words, and wanted to ask again, but the sound of the fight in front of him became more intense, and he couldn't help but look into the middle of the field again.

At this time, the big man found a wooden stick out of nowhere, and the wooden stick seemed to have spirituality in his hand, dancing vigorously, as if it was integrated with his body, which made people marvel at it. Unexpectedly, although Zhu Ba was stout, his sword was very light, and his skills were unexpectedly flexible, only to see him wandering around the big man in all directions, and did not touch the big man, but stabbed out a sword unprepared, and the shot was very vicious, and the big man could only concentrate on it, and it was very difficult to deal with it. Zhu Ba saw that the big man was far superior to himself in strength, so he cunningly adopted the guerrilla technique, the purpose of which was to exhaust the big man's physical strength, and then wait for the opportunity to give a fatal sword.

This vicious battle was stalemate, and the onlookers all tensed their nerves, staring intently, and the atmosphere was tense. Although Gao Yanli was not a martial arts practitioner, he also saw Zhu Ba's sinister intentions, and couldn't help but secretly worry about the big man. And Jing Ke still watched the changes motionlessly, with a look of smiling but not smiling on his face.

Sure enough, after a moment of fighting, the big man gradually slowed down, and the wooden stick in his hand was not as vigorous and powerful as it was at the beginning, Zhu Ba calculated the right time, took advantage of the big man's inattention, quickly leaned forward and approached, and the tip of the sword pierced the big man's armpit. "Ahh

The long sword in Zhu Ba's hand suddenly stabbed out in a row, and a sword stabbed the Quchi point of the big man's right arm. The big man finally gave up, and he barely stood firm, and Zhu Ba's bronze sword slammed into the big man's chest like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.

"Ah!" the crowd exclaimed, then silenced.

Hearing the sound of "ding", the tip of Zhu Ba's sword suddenly deflected, turned to stab the big man's left shoulder, and blood burst out. Frightened, the big man hurriedly withdrew, "Oooo

Zhu Ba, who was sweating all over his head, suddenly remembered that at the moment when he stabbed out a fatal sword, the tip of the sword full of internal force seemed to be hit by some hard object out of thin air, and he lost his accuracy. At that moment, he didn't care about chasing and killing the big man, so he hurriedly withdrew his sword and looked around. At that time, Jing Ke, who was hidden in the crowd, had already stopped for a long time, and was coldly looking at Zhu Ba's embarrassed appearance. His movements in an instant were like a swept wind, and he didn't even notice Gao Yuanli beside him, which showed Jing Ke's speed.

After Zhu Ba swept around with his gaze, he didn't find any noteworthy characters. When he saw that the big man had already escaped with his wounds, he had no idea, and in a blink of an eye, he triumphantly shouted to the onlookers, "Hmph! This is the fate of daring to go against the uncle! Who else dares not to pay? Ah!"

Everyone just looked at each other, seeing that the burly man was also stabbed by Zhu Ba and fled, no one dared to say a word, so they had to line up one by one to pay for the pass. "Hah, ha, ha!" Zhu Ba watched the coins in his bag accumulate more and more, and he felt even more complacent, and laughed uncontrollably.

In the crowd of people who paid for the passing, a young woman who was described as haggard suddenly came forward tremblingly after hesitating a few times. I saw that she was holding a baby in her left hand and a shabby basket in her right hand, ragged and unkempt, obviously from a poor family. The young woman came to Zhu Ba and begged very sadly: "Uncle, the slave family is penniless, and there are elderly parents in the family who are hungry, waiting for the slave family to ask for these coarse foods to go back!

Zhu Ba pursed his lips and stretched out his head to probe the basket in the young woman's hand, and saw that there was nothing of value in it except for some leftovers and cold vegetables, so he was very impatient and shouted in a rough voice: "Go! Go! Go! I want to cross without money, it's really a pipe dream! Get out!"

I saw that the young woman still refused to give up and kept begging bitterly, but Zhu Ba just raised his eyebrows coldly, but ignored it. When the young woman thought that if she couldn't go home, her parents' food would be out of the way, and she suddenly felt that her courage was doubled, so she didn't care about the consequences, and wanted to hit Zhu Ba headlong with her heart and teeth. As soon as he took two steps forward, he was shouted by Zhu Ba, and he raised his sword to block the way.

The young woman was startled and froze in place. Zhu Ba sneered, and said in a deep voice: "You are so bold, you still dare to break through, just let you know that you know how powerful the uncle is......" As he spoke, there was a sound of "pop", and the young woman's pale face suddenly appeared with five bright red handprints.

The young woman was already weak, how could she withstand a blow from a rough man like Zhu Ba, she suddenly lost her center of gravity and fell backwards, and the baby in her hand also flew out of her hand, "Child!" The young woman and mother and son were deeply in love, and couldn't help but exclaim, and the food in the basket was scattered all over the ground.

"Ahh A flashlight slashed out, and it was steadily connected, supporting the baby who was about to land at the right time.

Jing Ke, who had been silent for a long time, wanted to come to the rescue, but unexpectedly, a figure in front of him swept past him one step ahead of him, and ran towards the baby who was about to land. Jing Ke was deeply curious, and suddenly stopped and watched intently.

The frightened people came back to their senses, only to find that at some point a small thin man was holding the baby steadily. But the baby cried out in fright.

When the young woman heard the baby's cry, she hurriedly got up from the ground, and ran to the thin man in surprise, and picked up the baby, but when she arrived, "Child, my child ......" Seeing that the child was fine, she turned around and knelt down to the thin man, and kowtowed again and again, "Thank you, thank you......

The thin man picked up the young woman and whispered comfortingly, "No need to be polite. 」

At this time, everyone saw that Zhu Ba's face was also blue and white. It turned out that he slapped the young woman just now, and he didn't think about throwing the baby out, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that the baby was about to land. Now, without even seeing a shadow, the baby has been held in the arms of the thin man. Zhu Ba looked at the thin man coldly, this person was not good-looking, he was extremely short, and he was skinny, he couldn't help glaring at the thin man fiercely, and said, "Isn't it bad!

The thin man turned his head in response, his eyes flashed, and after confronting Zhu Ba for a while, he stared at Zhu Ba coldly with a cold face, and said, "Exactly, why are you collecting money here and oppressing the people?"

Zhu Ba saw that the thin man's eyes were sharp and sharp, as if he was stabbing himself like two sharp knives. But he understands that he must not show weakness at this moment, otherwise, in front of everyone, where will he still have any face! Zhu Ba said hatefully: "Why did Lao Tzu collect the money for the passage, what do you say? Hmph! Just rely on this sword! If you are not convinced, let you see how powerful I am!" Before the words fell, he pulled out the bronze sword and stabbed at the thin man.

Preemptively, attacking the thin man is not prepared, and it is best to fight quickly. The two glances of the thin man were too frightening. While Zhu Ba was speaking, he had already made a wishful thinking in his heart.

The thin man had already seen Zhu Ba's eyes wandering and his brows distorted when he spoke, and he had already deduced that the other party had a bad intention.

At this moment, seeing Zhu Ba suddenly draw his sword, after the thin man snorted coldly, he quickly dodged and gave way, and the bronze long sword immediately struck, the scabbard came out of the air, the sword light flashed, and the backhand stabbed at Zhu Ba.

Where did Zhu Ba know that the thin man's volley sword was not only fast, but also poured seventy percent of his internal force, so that he couldn't use his hands and feet for a while, so he could only parry with his life, and barely resisted the thin man's move, but the thin man shook the long sword with his backhand, and trembled slightly, and more than a dozen sword flowers flew towards Zhu Ba in an instant, and he was dazzled and dizzy for a while.

Zhu Ba was shocked, he had never seen this kind of swordsmanship, and he didn't know how to take it, so in a panic, he hurriedly rolled backwards, eating a mouthful of mud and touching a nose of ash. Seeing Zhu Ba's embarrassed appearance, the thin man snorted lightly, then put his sword back into the sheath and sneered at him: "You monkey who hasn't learned martial arts yet, it's your turn to go wild here?"

Zhu Ba knew that he was not the opponent of this thin man, and thought: If he continues to die like this, he will definitely suffer a big loss. I saw him struggle to get up in embarrassment, and while pretending to shout, "You, you have a kind!" Uncle doesn't care about you today, and will revisit you another day...... Before the words fell, he fled in a puff of smoke, and he didn't even bother to take the money bag! "Hahaha!" The people around saw him fleeing in disgrace, and immediately burst into laughter, and rushed forward together, surrounding the thin man, and the voices of thanks and admiration continued. The thin man just didn't dare to say anything, and after a while, he broke free from the crowd and left.

Everyone took back their "toll money" from the coarse cloth pocket left by Zhu Ba and dispersed one after another. The frightened young woman stared at the departing figure of the thin man, leaned over to pick up the empty basket on the ground, looked down at the baby in her arms again, and showed a look that made people unable to distinguish whether they were happy or sad, and quietly left.

Gao Yanli suddenly felt something in his heart at this moment, grabbed Jing Ke and laughed: "Acting chivalrous and righteous, singing about wine, is the great joy of life!"

Hearing this, Jing Ke and Gao Yanli glanced at each other, as if they had a heart, and turned around together and hurried forward to inquire about the thin man, but the thin man walked fast and disappeared in an instant. Jing Ke couldn't help but be a little disappointed, shook his head and sighed: "Such a chivalrous warrior, I can't even get acquainted, it's really a shallow relationship with Jing Ke!"

"Chivalry has its own chivalrous style, and it is not for my generation to do it. I can make friends with Brother Jing today, you and I have a deep fate, go, drink, don't get drunk and don't return!" Gao gradually left Haoxing, pulled Jing Ke and walked towards the tavern.

"Let's go!" Jing Ke seemed to have suddenly figured it out, and simply put aside all the loss in his heart, and his interest also rose.

The two looked at each other and laughed, struck and sang, strode forward, and the sound of grandeur lingered in the city.

In the days that followed, the two of them could be seen singing arbitrarily on the street from time to time, and from time to time there were also rumors of Jing Ke's righteous deeds of fighting swords, but Jing Ke was wandering, did good deeds, rarely left a name, only asked for a return for fighting wine, and then sang away.

Like a bloody sun, hanging obliquely in the sky.

The sky changed color, as if it was screaming.

Qin State, Xianyang Palace.

Qin Wangzheng stood tall in the cold and serious black hall - "Zhao Limu, Sima Shang, Pang Ai, Chu Xiangyan ......" buried in the case, and the words in his mouth were loud.

Tingwei Li Si lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, not daring to be sloppy at all, and respectfully memorized the orders handed down from the high hall. It was just one name after another that was about to lose its life, and each name was enough to make the king of the world sit on pins and needles and walk on thin ice, and it was enough to cause a bloody storm and change the color of the whole world.

Li Si held his breath and waited for King Qin's next order. There was silence in the hall, as if it were dead silence. Time seemed to stand still, and it was impossible to calculate how long it had passed, before the King of Qin said coldly: "If the generals of various countries can collect the talents and talents for my use, then the great cause of unifying the world can be twice the result with half the effort, otherwise they will be like obstacles on the road, if they want to pass unimpeded, they must be removed with great effort." 」

"Does Aiqing know what to do?" King Qin finally raised his head and looked directly at Li Si in the hall. The soft tone seemed to be inquiring, and the cold eyes were clearly commanding.

"I understand. He understood that what King Qin wanted was not an answer, but obedience. The answer is one of obedience.

King Qin's meaning is subtle but obvious, others may not understand, but Li Si must understand, and must understand.

Once you choose to stand on a different side from King Qin and go in the opposite direction, then there is only one meaning left for these names - dead people. On the other hand, it's a living person. However, this living person doesn't have to worry too much about how to live, after all, chess pieces don't have to know how to struggle to survive.

Who can say which is better, the living or the dead? In short, the value of the rest of the lives of these people, the King of Qin just opened his mouth to buy it. People should have some value whether they live or die, even if they are not as usable as waste.

King Qin said again, "Do it as soon as possible!"

Li Si bowed and said, "Yes!" Wu Zizi stood respectfully to the side.

King Qin pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Did Prince Yan Dan make any moves after he went back?" Li Si said, "According to the report of the spies, during this period of time, Prince Yan Dan has attracted strange people from all over the world, which can be described as ill-intentioned. 」

King Qin squinted his eyes and said slowly, "What does Li Qing think about this?" Li Si said, "The minister has sent additional masters to investigate this matter in depth, and I believe that there will be eyebrows soon!" King Qin was speechless.

The life of singing night after night made King Qin's energy no longer as strong as before.

It was just past dusk, and King Qin was already a little tired. He didn't know that most of his energy was lost in the cold-blooded moments of murder without blinking.

King Qin waved his hand gently, and Li Si retreated quietly.

On the huge black hall, silence returned in an instant. There was only a faint breath left, the breath of a king, but it was not much different from that of a mortal. King Qin was really tired, otherwise how could he allow himself to be so mediocre? He seemed to have fallen asleep in his desk......

King Qin knew that he was tired.

The sound of footsteps sounded faintly in the main hall, gentle and steady, approaching King Qin. Although King Qin was tired, he could still hear the sound of footsteps. He didn't know whose footsteps it was, but he knew exactly whose footsteps he wanted it to be.

A woman walked up to the temple. I saw King Qin frowning, as if he was very uncomfortable, but he was already so tired that he fell asleep on the desk. She couldn't help but stretch out a pair of green jade hands and caress King Qin's broad but lonely shoulders. She seemed to hear King Qin's faint sobbing voice. She remembered that even in her dreams, King Qin had never cried out loud. She knew it would be unpleasant. Suddenly, her clear eyes were filled with tears, and they were so unreasonable.

She knew that King Qin often dreamed at night, and most of the dreams were about the past that made him sad.

At night when she slept with King Qin, she was often woken up by his faint sobbing voice. But she never asked him what he dreamed of, because she didn't want him to know that she heard him crying and saw his fragile appearance. He is a king, and his weaknesses cannot be easily discovered. But there was actually a bigger reason for her silence, that is, she didn't want to be easily discovered by King Qin, and she cared too much about him.

She didn't know if she was too cruel for King Qin. But she just couldn't admit the feeling that was gradually becoming clear in her heart. After all, the person in front of her should have been her biggest enemy!

Why is this person who can dominate in front of everyone always so tender and caressing when facing her, but when he turns his back to her, he is very lonely and fragile, and his arms that hold her tightly are so strong and powerful. On top of that, her child, the most important person in her life at the moment, would have an inexplicable and irresistible adoration for him. What should she do, her heart has become more and more confused, and she doesn't want to think about it......

"The king is tired. Li Ji gently shook the sleeping King Qin.

"Ai Ji, is there something wrong?" In a daze, a peerless face appeared in front of King Qin's eyes, with a faint look of infinite care. "The king is tired, it's time to go to bed. The soft voice sounded in King Qin's ears again.

"Is Ai Ji really concerned about the widow?" King Qin was so tired that he couldn't tell the truth from the fake, but he still couldn't help the surprise in his heart. There should be a clear distinction between right and wrong, true and false, but it is not easy to do so. Sometimes it is quite cruel to try to distinguish it yourself. Li Ji can already understand this truth, and maybe King Qin will also realize it in the near future.

Tingwei's Mansion, a silent hall. Li Si closed his eyes and leaned on the couch, still thinking about how to take the next move in his hand. In recent years, he has worked hard for his country, and there have been few moments when he has been able to enjoy the beauty of wine, although now everything is going smoothly according to his plan.

The shiver of the unknown excites him far more than the bounty beauty.

Li Si is a cautious and very deep man. He was not originally from Qin, but because of his talent, he was favored by the King of Qin. Although Li Si is now one of the three princes in the Qin State, he is still humble and well-mannered, because he knows the truth that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger. It was his resourcefulness that kept him alive to this day.

No one thought about it, and even Li Si himself failed to realize that the person holding the chess in his hand was actually just a chess piece. At best, he is a general, he is the biggest in the chessboard, but he is still only a chess piece in the hands of King Qin.

In the past few days, Li Si has secretly summoned a group of henchmen, all of whom are eloquent people. He gave them chests of jewels and hundreds of pairs of exquisite jade, and scattered them all over the world, doing only one thing: bribing and dividing the generals of various countries. This is a simple means, not an end in itself.

He ordered them to use their incorruptible tongues and priceless gold and jade treasures to shake, corrode, win over and buy the hearts of the ministers of the six countries, and finally use them for Qin's use. The process is complicated, but the purpose is clear.

Of course, this is only one of his means against the Six Nations. One means has just begun, and the next means must also begin, the next means, the next means...... Plan at any time, start at any time, and get there until you reach your goals.

Li Si snorted lightly and asked, "Is Xiahou Yang here?"

The attendant outside the door hurriedly replied, "Lord Qiyu, people have been waiting outside for a long time. 」

"Let him come in and see me. 」

After a while, a tall man respectfully stepped forward, bowed down at Li Si's feet, and kowtowed, "Xiahou Yang greets your lordship. 」

Li Si naturally knew Xiahou Yang's reputation in the rivers and lakes, and he had also seen his skills, at this moment, he squinted a pair of cold eyes slightly, and a gloomy expression swept over his face, and then suddenly disappeared without a trace, and said with a light smile: "Please get up and sit aside." 」

Xiahou Yang didn't dare to raise his head and said, "What do you want to do, please ask Master Li to give orders." 」

Xiahou Yang is an indispensable villain on the rivers and lakes, he committed several murders in his early years, and was sentenced to death by the government. This is just one of Lees's usual tricks.

"I want you to expand this organization a little bit more and recruit more masters into the gang. Li Si expressed his intentions bluntly, ordered his subordinates to carry out two copper boxes, and said, "This is 3,000 pairs of gold and 50 pairs of jade. There was not a hint of doubt in his resolute tone.

When Xiahou Yang saw the dazzling reward in front of him, he was already happy in the sky, so he didn't care about it, but he just kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, the small one will do it." 」

Li Si couldn't help but smile, and ordered Xiahou Yang to retreat with great satisfaction.

A year ago, Li Si used a lot of money to recruit a group of martial arts masters such as Xiahou Yang and organized an assassination team to focus on those stumbling blocks. Those who dare not obey the orders of the King of Qin will be killed without mercy. This was one of the most proud weapons that Li Si had made for King Qin's countless killings.

Only in this way, both soft and hard, both civil and military, can the power of various countries be disintegrated and the strength of the Qin State strengthened.

Thinking of this, Li Si raised his eyebrows and showed a rare smile, and then, summoning the attendant outside the door, asked, "Is he here?"

The attendant nodded and replied, "Not long after Xiahou Yang came, he came. The villain has already told him to wait in the secret room according to your orders!"

"Well, that's good!" Leos got up and walked outside the house, through several corridors, to a forest garden full of thorns and vines. In the darkness, the thorns were like ghosts with teeth and claws, so gloomy that it was hard to imagine that there was such a desolate world in the palace of the dignified court. After looking around cautiously, Lees disappeared into the garden in a flash.

Gradually entering it, there are many forks in the road, revealing a trace of desolation and dead silence.

Li Si stepped into it with a steady pace, and suddenly saw a vague shadow of a single house looming among the vines. Lees stopped, and in front of him was an inconspicuous secret room, a faint light shining through the hidden door. "Click—" The door opened. The furnishings in the room are very simple, except for a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the blank walls on all sides, and some are a long wooden table with a candle lamp on the long table, and a wooden box next to the candle lamp. Judging from the wide cobwebs on the beams, it must have been uninhabited for a long time. Li Si stepped inside, gently pulled the door shut, walked to the wooden long table, stretched out his hand and pressed twice on the side of the long table, and the sound of "rumbling" immediately sounded on the side of the long table, and suddenly saw a wall with calligraphy and paintings slowly reverse, revealing a small door that was half-open, and Li Si immediately turned sideways and entered. The door then "rumbled" and closed again.

The lights in the room flickered faintly, and Li Si walked down the steps, and a short black figure suddenly knelt down in front of him, and said in an extremely sharp voice, "The villain knocks on Lord Li. 」

"Please, do you know why I'm looking for you?" asked Lees, turning his back to the shadow.

"The villain is ignorant and doesn't know the intentions of the adults, so please make it clear to the adults. 」

"Today, Great Qin is the strongest. I, Great Qin, want to dominate the world and achieve the hegemony of eternity. But now, there are still many people in the countries who refuse to submit, and I have summoned you to share the worries of the king and get rid of those who stand in the way of the great cause of the unification of the Great Qin, do you understand?"

When the little black shadow heard this, he was very excited, and hurriedly replied, "The adults value the villain so much, and the villain must do everything in his power to repay the adult's kindness to the villain. 」

"I've left the specific goals to someone else. You are Great Qin's secret weapon, and what you have to do is to secretly probe the movements of various countries, and try to eliminate anyone for the Great King who may be unfavorable to Qin. 」

"Yes!" the dark shadow replied.

"After the deed is accomplished, I will protect you in front of the king, and give you a half-official position, so that you can enjoy the glory and wealth. Lees turned and glanced at the shadow.

"Thank you for the cultivation of the adults, the villain will definitely go to the soup for you and the king, and never give up!" In his words, there was indescribable excitement.

"Go, and there is gold on the long table outside, and it will be the expense of your future actions, and if there is any shortfall, you shall take it at any time. Lees said no more.

"Yes, Lord Xie!" As he spoke, a black shadow flashed, floated up the steps, tiptoed, and suddenly reached the small door, pressed the button on the side of the door, and the door turned halfway and dodged out. He deliberately worked hard to show himself in front of Li Si, so the whole process was wonderful and beautiful, which was amazing.

No one asks about the ruins of the country and the death of the family, and the wind and clouds are turbulent.

The seventeenth year of the reign of King Qin.

Qin broke through Han in one fell swoop, and Nahan soil entered Qin's territory.

Another bloody record.

Qin general Fan offended the king of Qin for some reason, and was dismissed and condemned overnight, raided his home and destroyed the door, and escaped death and then went into exile to Yan, and the prince Danna respected him.

However, an unknown storm is brewing quietly......

The four walls of books exude a dim yellow atmosphere, and the lonely figure is accompanied by the hazy moonlight.

In the study room in the palace, a young man stood with his hands on the front wall, his expression was so deep and melancholy, and the trace of haggard was locked between his eyebrows. It can't be dissolved and can't be waved away over the years. The bottom of the deep gloomy eyes seems to be attached to a soul that looks like Jing Ke, which is a soul with great ambitions, depression and long-term imprisonment. Who knows, this is the "privilege" that a prince bears in troubled times.

He is none other than Prince Yan Dan, who is the prince but has tasted the suffering of hostages. As a nobleman, he was far away from the pleasures that ordinary people had at their fingertips, but in exchange for endless sorrow and torture.

Outside the door, the old man with a condensed face and depressed eyebrows has been standing solemnly for a long time, as if he is silently echoing the thousands of worries in his heart with the people in the room.

In the ten years since he entered the Qin State, Prince Dan didn't even have the most basic courtesy he deserved as a prince, let alone any brocade clothes and food, calling for wind and rain. During that time, what he experienced all day long was humiliation and torture that was far more unbearable than ordinary people, so bitter that he had forgotten that he was a prince, and even didn't know if he could still be regarded as a person?

To this day, he still remembers the illusions and uneasiness he held along the way when he entered the Qin Kingdom, but now it seems that he is in such a ridiculous and embarrassing mood.

That year, he almost took the initiative to ask for help and voluntarily went to the Qin State as a hostage. Since hostage was already a hardship that he had to go through, he preferred to believe that holding hostage next to his childhood playmate might be able to get more courtesy!

From Yan to Qin, all the way through the mountains, his mood was ups and downs, speculation and uneasiness. Sitting in the gorgeous car, he was always thinking about someone, someone he longed to see but was afraid to see.

He closed his eyes and meditated, but a young man's gloomy and depressed face clearly appeared in front of him, and the young man's sorrowful eyebrows were always faintly suppressed resentment and resentment, which was his best playmate and friend when he was a hostage in Zhao State in his childhood, and it was also Qin Wangzheng who he traveled thousands of miles to meet with the court.

Traveling all the way, the end of the soldier's life's sorrows, or the beginning of another suffering?" he hesitated, and in his closed eyes, the deep and cold gaze of the depressed young man made him shiver again.

For this entry into Qin, Prince Yan Dan is full of longing and expectations, but he is also extremely uneasy and anxious. Along the way, he kept telling himself that Yingzheng, his best friend in childhood and now the king of Qin, would never forget his friendship with him when he was a hostage of Zhao in the past, and he would definitely remember their love of sworn brothers, and treat him well, an old friend and confidant who came from afar. However, I don't know why, along the way, he sat in the carriage, but there was always a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart. He constantly took care of his own thoughts and comforted himself, and with reasonable inference, he would definitely be able to get Qin Wangzheng's warm hospitality, but at the same time of such self-comfort, he could not erase the fear and uneasiness brought to him by the look of jealousy and hatred that was always revealed in Yingzheng's eyes back then.

After all, it has been many years since they were separated, and Prince Yan Dan sighed deeply: Will he still be the Yingzheng who shared the joys and hardships of the past? Or has he really become the cruel and tyrannical and high-ranking Qin Wangzheng in everyone's legends? Prince Dan muttered to himself. He really couldn't predict whether Ying Zheng's hatred for everything in the world back then would be relieved after he became the king of Qin, or would he intensify his publicity?

Power, supreme power, can comfort one's wounded heart or burn one's latent hatred.

So what about the friendship of childhood weal and sorrow? Will it also disappear with Ying Zheng sitting on the top of the Qin palace? When he knelt on the top of the cold hall, can Ying Zheng still remember the past when they hugged their heads and cried on the streets of Handan?

His uneasiness was quickly confirmed after he stepped into Xianyang City.

What did not disappoint Prince Yan was that everything in his childhood was firmly engraved in his heart.

In fact, Ying Zheng has never forgotten for a moment, when he got up every morning and put on the dragon robe, when he angrily reprimanded the ministers in the main hall, when he dreamed back at midnight, he never forgot the humiliation and suffering he suffered in Handan City.

The arrival of Prince Yan Dan awakened more memories of his suffering, making him unbearable and making him miserable.

Ying Zheng inflicted all these pains on Prince Dan......

I can't look back, but I have the pain of frightening dreams every night.

It was so painful that Prince Yan Dan had to banish the childhood memories that had been stuck in his mind for a long time to a corner that he could no longer touch.

Ying Zheng is dead, but the king of Qin was born.

Old friends do not meet, only enemies.

The traces of the ordeal have long been deeply drawn between his eyebrows, towards the morning and twilight, and will never fade. At this moment, his resentment towards King Qin was like a knife sharpened in his body. The knife is sharpened and dazzling, and hatred is more and more deeply rooted in the muscles and bones.

This life has coexisted and died with life in this life, and it will never be destroyed.

Prince Dan thought that he had to live for hatred for the rest of his life, just because he was the prince of the dignified Yan Kingdom! He also had a lot of love, hatred, hatred, and honor and disgrace that ordinary people cared about, and they were all more than that, even at the moment when he was tortured, it still did not decrease in the slightest, but swelled terribly.

Is there really any deep hatred in the world that is worthy of a person living and dying with it?

It's not that Prince Dan can't let go of the hatred in his heart, what really makes him unable to let go is that he must keep in mind the hatred. Because the power of hatred does not seem so indestructible. Is it the people's hearts that control hatred, or is it hatred that manipulates people's hearts? Ordinary people don't understand, and Prince Dan is also puzzled.

At present, the Qin State has broken through Korea in one fell swoop, the neighboring Zhao State is also about to fall, and the Yan State is even more precarious!

He is a prince, the prince of the Yan Kingdom.

In order to fulfill his responsibility to protect his family and defend the country, he has issued a secret order to secretly recruit dead soldiers and prepare to assassinate the King of Qin!

Thorn Qin!

This earth-shattering move, for many years, the princes and princes of all countries have been thinking about each other day and night, but no one dares to do it, but his crown prince Dan is determined to do it!

Capture the thief and capture the king first. As soon as the king of Qin dies, Qin will be in chaos.

Rats leave a sinking ship. For a while, no one inherited the great ambition of King Qin, so that Qin would be in chaos and slump, unable to attack Yan again, and unable to carry out any more killings!

Prince Dan was secretly excited for the secret order he had just issued, and his eyes shot with determination to break the boat.

Piercing Qin, it is even more breaking Qin!

Prince Dan said that this is for the home of Prince Yan Dan, the country of Prince Yan Dan, the home of thousands of people, and the country of thousands of people!

At this time, suddenly an attendant came to report: "Doctor Ju Wu asks to see!"

Ju Wu is an old minister in the court, and Prince Dan has been studying under him since he was a child, so he treats him like a teacher and a loving father.

When Prince Dan heard the news, he withdrew from his surging thoughts, and hurriedly turned around and said, "Please!" As soon as the door opened, it was Dr. Ju Wu with a sad face. Prince Dan never knew that the loyal minister with a condensed face outside the door had an inexplicable feeling of pity for him in addition to surrendering.

Ju Wu saw that Prince Dan had come to the door to greet him, and hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Minister Ju Wu, see the prince!" Prince Dan hugged him and said, "Doctor doesn't have to be polite, please come in!" Ju Wu Shen stepped inside. Seeing this, Prince Dan knew in his heart what he was doing here, and immediately said, "When the doctor comes, he must have seen him. 」

Ju Wu said: "The minister heard that the prince took in the rebel general Fan Yu of the Qin State, but is there such a thing?" The prince Dan groaned slightly, nodded and said, "Not bad. I have taken it into the Hall of the Magi. Ju Wu sighed and said, "The prince's move is absolutely impossible. My Yan Kingdom will suffer great calamity for this!"

Prince Dan said calmly: "The doctor's words, presumably because he is worried that my Yan Kingdom will be convicted of Qin?" Ju Wu couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Why did the prince know that he did it? Fan Yu took Yu Yan for the prince, it is said that 'the meat should be a hungry tiger', and the disaster will not be far away!" After speaking, he couldn't help but burst into tears, his face was stunned, and he was very worried.

Seeing this, Prince Dan couldn't bear it, his thick eyebrows tightened, and he sighed, "Why is the doctor doing this?"

Ju Wu said firmly: "The minister is willing to ask the prince to send General Fan into the Xiongnu as soon as possible to avoid trouble!"

Hearing this, Prince Dan's body was shocked, he pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "The doctor's intention, Dan's heart feels it. But General Fan is at the end of his rope and devotes himself to Dan, if Dan abandons him because he is strong Qin, won't it make the people of the world laugh at Dan's cowardice and injustice?"

Ju Wu hurriedly said: "How can the prince ignore the major affairs of the country for one person?" Prince Dan shook his head and said solemnly: "No! Although Qin is strong and Yan is weak, the general trend of the world is still undecided, and Dan's move can be the beginning of the resistance against Qin!"

Ju Wu was about to speak, but Prince Dan waved his hand, raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Doctor! Qin Bully Dan is the first, Tu Yantu is the last, this revenge is not avenged, Dan is a dignified hot-blooded man in vain!"

Only then did Prince Dan really say the key point, and he also stabbed into the sore spot in his heart.

Suddenly, I saw his face turn from red to pale. Is it righteous indignation? Is it humiliation?

Seeing this, Ju Wu knew that persuasion was useless, so he could only raise his sleeves to wipe his tears, and gave up with a long sigh.

Prince Dan quickly cooled down his full mood, and suddenly remembered something again, and asked, "Doctor, how is the matter of recruiting the world's wise men?" Ju Wu said: "Everything is going well, the envoys sent by our country have gained quite a lot, I heard that the warriors of the Wei State are willing to serve the prince, and they will come to Yan in the near future." Prince Dan was overjoyed: "With the sages and people of the world working together, why worry about strengthening Qin and not breaking it?"

Prince Dan, who was immersed in the joy of light, did not notice the deep worry in the eyes of the doctor Ju Wu. There was only one color that belonged to the night in front of Ju Wu's eyes. It is a color that can only be seen by those who are aware that they are in danger. At this moment, Ju Wu secretly made up his mind that no matter what the result was, he was bound to coexist and perish with Prince Dan and stick to the end.

Where Prince Dan is, he knows it himself. But he didn't think that place was called a dangerous place.
