063 True and False King Qin
After cutting off the head of King Qin, Jiangshan immediately escaped from Xianyang overnight and ran all the way to Peach Blossom Valley. I don't know where Jiangshan got the momentum this time, after three or four days' journey, he actually went back in one day and one night.
After returning to the Peach Blossom Valley, Jiang Shan immediately gathered people and built a huge tomb next to Xue'er's grave, and then Jiang Shan arranged for someone to place the incense case in front of the tomb, and put the head of King Qin on the incense case. After everything was done, Jiang Shan led the men, women and children in the valley to kneel in front of Jing Ke's grave. This is the first expression of feelings since the master left, Jiang Shan is naturally crying into tears, and the others are also sad when they see Jiang Shan so sad, but Gao gradually left a person standing there without kneeling or crying.
Some people will surely ask, isn't Gao Yuanli sad about Jing Ke's death? Sadness is certain, because whether it is from the perspective of personal feelings or national interests, Gao Yuanli is full of grief. But why didn't he weep for him? for he was thinking about the question of whether this head was really the king of Qin's!
Gao Yuanli thought so deeply, other people didn't know the inside story, they only knew that you can't do it if you don't have the same as Jiangshan, so some people questioned angrily in the face of Gao Yuanli's strange performance. "Do you have any thoughts on Mr. Jing Ke's death?"
"Sad!" Gao said sadly.
"But how do we think you don't look sad?" the crowd asked angrily.
"Why am I not sad? I am very sad!" Gao Yuanli pleaded in the face of everyone's questions.
"Why don't you cry when you're sad?" asked a young girl, childishly.
"Sadness doesn't have to be weeping! Is there anyone who stipulates that if you are sad, you must shed tears?" Gao Yuanli was of course embarrassed to be angry in the face of such a childish girl, so he hurriedly bent down to teach.
"Nonsense! Don't coax children anymore, no one will believe your nonsense!" Although everyone saw the high-sounding sounding words, no one would easily believe him, so they all rose up in protest.
When these people came together, the entire cemetery was in chaos, and at this time, Jiang Shan was disturbed no matter how sad he was. Jiang Shan saw that everyone was not mourning in silence in front of the master's grave, but making a loud noise, and immediately asked angrily: "What happened, you dare to treat my master like this?"
"It's Gao Yuanli who stood there without kneeling or crying, and we are condemning him!" everyone immediately replied in unison in the face of Jiang Shan's reprimand.
"Oh! there is such a thing?" Jiang Shan also knew the relationship between Gao Yuanli and his master, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't be like this!
"Childe, please don't get me wrong, I just have a question in my heart that I've been thinking about, so I lost my temper because of this, and I ask Childe to forgive me!" Gao Yanli said sincerely to Jiang Shan.
"Do you have any questions? I wonder if you can tell me one or two?" Jiang Shan asked suspiciously.
"I'm thinking about whether this head belongs to King Qin or not!" Gao Yuanli said quite seriously, not seeing him abrupt at all.
"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Could it be that what I saw with my own eyes could be wrong?" Jiang Shan almost didn't jump up when he heard Gao Yuanli's explanation, and immediately stared at Gao Yuanli with his eyes wide open.
"I always feel that this head is not King Qin's!" Gao Yanli did not change his expression at all because of the thunderous thunder of the country, so he still repeated seriously.
"Are you doubting my personal ability now, or are you sincerely disturbing my master's spiritual hall?" Jiang Shan did not calm down because of Gao Yuanli's analysis, so he still asked angrily.
"Neither, please trust me! I'm analyzing the problem! Not deliberately making trouble!" Gao said solemnly.
"What is the evidence?" Since Gao Yuanli said this, Jiang Shan also seemed to feel that what he said was reasonable at this time, so he couldn't help but relax his tone and asked.
"The evidence is that King Qin can't die so easily! If he would choose to end his life by committing suicide, it is estimated that he will not be able to achieve the hegemony of unifying the six kingdoms!" Although Gao Yuanli did not have any definite evidence to prove the authenticity of King Qin's head, he still analyzed it quite seriously.
"It's that simple?" Jiang Shan couldn't believe his ears, and he completely showed a look of disbelief.
"It's as simple as that!" Gao said solemnly.
"Then let's make a bet?" Although Jiang Shan felt that Gao Yuanli's narrative seemed to have some truth, but if he was asked to completely change his opinion, he still couldn't accept it easily, so he immediately said with a grin.
"What kind of bet?" Gao Yuanli did not change his mood with the change of Jiangshan's mood, so he still asked seriously.
"Bet on whether this head belongs to King Qin!" Jiang Shan saw Gao Yanli put on a serious look, so he also said quite seriously.
"What conditions?" Gao asked with a serious attitude.
"If this head is not King Qin's, I will never go out of the valley in my life, and I will die here of old age; if you are mistaken, you will sincerely kowtow three times in front of my master's grave to make amends to my master!" Jiang Shan said solemnly.
"On this condition, I will kowtow to Mr. Jing Ke now!" Gao Yanli said sincerely.
"That's not going to work! What you just said is the head of the Tao, why did you admit defeat all of a sudden?" where did the crowd easily accept Gao Yuanli's confession, so they protested one after another.
"Isn't it okay for me to kowtow to Mr. Jing Ke? Don't you want me to pay tribute to Mr. Jing Ke?" Gao Yuanli argued unhurriedly in the face of everyone's accusations.
"Who said that you won't be allowed to pay tribute to my master, but you shouldn't just admit defeat so easily!" Jiang Shan saw that Gao Yanli had repented, so his mood immediately eased a lot, and he immediately said calmly.
"Can you go back and talk about this? I feel that it is inconvenient here!" Gao Yanli looked at Jiang Shan with something to say.
Jiang Shan is also a smart person, of course he can see that there must be something in Gao Yuanli's heart, so he no longer insisted, and immediately followed him back.
After the two returned to the room, Gao Yanli said suspiciously: "Can Gongzi tell me more about your assassination of King Qin that night?"
"Of course you can!" Jiang Shan Zhilu Dao Gao is a wise man, since he said that there is a problem, then of course there must be his reason, so he told what happened that night.
"Didn't you feel that things weren't normal that night?" asked Gao Yuanli thoughtfully.
"Of course I feel it, they shouldn't be so lax!" Jiang Shan said calmly.
"Yes, the guards of the palace should not be so lax!" Gao said approvingly.
"Those guards may have gone out to look for the Tiger Talisman, but I stole their Tiger Talisman!" Jiang Shan said and took out the Tiger Talisman.
"That's how it shouldn't be, their king should be more important! You must know that if the Dao Tiger Talisman is lost, you can create another one, so if the king dies, where can you find a wise king?" Gao Yuanli immediately retorted.
"Then they're trying to lure me into the trap!" Jiang Shan said in deep thought.
"It's possible, but have you thought about it, those guards didn't show up until the end of the day!" Gao Wanli objected.
"Then where did you say those guards had gone?" Jiang Shan immediately asked puzzled after listening to Gao Yuanli's analysis.
"By King Qin's side!" Gao said in a deep voice.
"I don't understand what you say, King Qin has been killed by me, but none of them have appeared, how can they be by King Qin's side?" Jiang Shan became more and more confused the more he listened.
"In this way, in fact, the one you killed is not the King of Qin at all!" Gao Yanli said firmly.
"What are you talking about? He claims to be the King of Qin!" Jiang Shan said in surprise.
"He's a stand-in, a stand-in for King Qin! If I'm not mistaken! King Qin wasn't in the palace at all, he might have gone out because of an emergency, but he couldn't let others know about it, so he had to find the most intimate guard to protect this stand-in there to hide people's eyes!" Gao Yuanli analyzed seriously.
"There is some truth in saying this, but where did King Qin go?" Jiang Shan seemed to understand something after listening to Gao Yanli's analysis.
"Then we have to go out of the valley now to find out where the most critical place in the Qin State is now, and I can find the King of Qin. Gao Yanli thought for a moment before he said.
"Okay, let's go now!" Jiang Shan now knew that he had made a big joke, where could he still calm down?
"Okay, we'll get out of the city now!" Gao Yuanli immediately agreed.
The night was hazy, the moonlight was like water, and the cool night sky was flying with two anxious people. I saw Jiang Shan whipping the war horse in front, and Gao Yuanli followed closely behind, so they ran more than 300 miles overnight.
At dawn, Jiang Shan and his entourage happened to come to a market town. In a hurry, they just found a random place to drink some porridge, and then ate some beef buns and hurried on the road again.
Although they were in a hurry all the way, Gao Yuanli and Jiang Shan were carefully observing. What made Jiang Shan feel slightly bad was that they did not find any abnormal phenomena among the people and officials of the Qin State. It stands to reason that if the King of Qin died, the Qin State would definitely have to mourn the whole country, but now that the Qin State is still as calm as water, where is the scene of the King of Qin being killed? Jiang Shan thought like this, and he ran more urgently, so they finally came to Xianyang City after two days of running.
Xianyang City is still the same as before, people are still busy when they should be busy, and they are still leisurely when they should be leisurely. Jiang Shan and Gao gradually left and didn't hide anything, so they went to the city and found a restaurant to sit down. At this time, since Jiang Shan found that he had made a mistake in the last assassination, he was much calmer. I saw him order two pots of soju and four dishes of side dishes, and Gao Yanli found a table near the window and sat down.
"Brother Gao, it seems that what you expected is true, I was fooled!" Jiang Shan said with admiration in the face of Gao Yuanli.
"Childe doesn't have to be too humble, I'm just making a little analysis afterwards! In that case, no matter how smart anyone is, they can be fooled!" Gao gradually saw that Jiang Shan felt guilty, and hurriedly comforted him.
"Brother Gao, can you see if King Qin has come back now?" Jiang Shan asked tentatively as he watched Gao gradually leave.
"I can't see it yet, but I feel that something big is definitely going to happen in the Qin State recently. Gao said thoughtfully.
"Big deal, what big deal? King Qin has already eliminated Lu Buwei and Chang Yu, what else is the big deal?" Jiang Shan looked at Gao Yanli and asked suspiciously.
"Except for the domestic ones, if my guess is correct, it must be foreign!" Gao said calmly.
"What's the matter abroad? King Qin has basically wiped out the six eastern kingdoms!" Jiang Shan listened to Gao Yuanli's words, and he was even more puzzled.
"Have you ever thought of the Huns in the north, that is the great trouble of our entire nation! Our Seven Heroes of the Warring States are just fighting for territory, they are just for stealing things and killing people!" Gao said worriedly.
When Jiang Shan heard Gao Yuanli say this, he immediately became worried. "We once fought with the Huns, and they were indeed very murderous, but I don't know if the powerful Qin State can beat the Huns?"
"If you can't beat it, you have to fight, they want to exterminate us seeds, we can only fight hard!" Gao Yanli said this, and suddenly became heroic unusually.
"Then are we still going to kill King Qin?" Jiang Shan suddenly looked at Gao Yanli suspiciously.
"We can't kill him for the time being, not only can't we kill him, but we also have to protect him!" Gao said solemnly.
"Since Brother Gao said this, there must be a reason for him, of course I am following Brother Gao's arrangement!" Jiang Shan thought of the life and death of the entire Chinese nation at this time, and became reasonable.
"I always thought that Childe would definitely not be able to figure it out, but I didn't expect Childe to have such a high realm!" Gao Yanli exclaimed.
