He saw a long sword inside; the sword body was a pale blue color, emitting a scorching light, and what was even more attractive was the winding blood-red trace on the sword spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After examining the sword for a while, Yan Dan felt the fierce and evil aura emanating from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this sword was a murder weapon used to assassinate Ying Zheng, Yan Dan himself was also a swordsman who liked famous swords. Seeing this sword, he still had the urge to wield it. He reached out and grasped the hilt, and a scorching sensation immediately struck, bringing with it slight sharp pain. He could not help but let go of the hilt, and looking at his palm, he found that scorched wounds had already appeared on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This sword...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two words hovered in Yan Dan's heart, but he did not say them: \"Host-harming\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Xu family were famous sword-smiths, they seemed to always forge some fierce swords. It is said that Xu Xu Fuzi's father had forged a demonic sword called Shark Tooth during his lifetime. That sword was not in the sword manual but was famous for its ferocity. Unfortunately, Yan Dan had never seen the demonic sword Shark Tooth, nor did he know which sword was more powerful, the demonic sword Shark Tooth or this fierce sword called \"Residual Rainbow\" currently before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after personally feeling the power of this sword, he was very satisfied with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the person holding the sword would be hurt by it, let alone the person stabbed by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as this sword stabs into Ying Zheng's body, Ying Zheng will undoubtedly die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword was already prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was the person who would use this sword to carry out the assassination mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Dan, with the order of the Mohist Leader, immediately sent a message to Jing Ke and Qin Qin Wuyang, telling them to come to Zhao Guo to do the preparatory work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Jing Ke and Qin Qin Wuyang would go to the Qin Empire as envoys of Zhao Guo. They had to learn the etiquette regarding the mission to the Qin Empire first. Besides that, Jing Ke also had to spend some time adapting to this sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Mechanical City, Jing Ke had long known the news that Xu Xu Fuzi had forged the sword, and even more so that the old Mrs. Xu had died to forge this sword. The death of the old Mrs. Xu made Jing Ke feel a bit of sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that this was just an embellishment in the Dragon Slaying plan. If this plan continued, it would not just be the old Mrs. Xu who died, but also... him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as the Mohist Leader, he could only comply with Yan Dan's orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Ke had not yet made up his mind whether to go to Qi Guo to see his junior sister. Not long after Xu Xu Fuzi sent the sword to Jicheng, he also received Yan Dan's letter, telling him and Qin Qin Wuyang to go to Jicheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Yan Dan was urging him tightly, Jing Ke ultimately had to give up the idea of going to Qi Guo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving in Zhao Guo, he could be considered to have seen the sword forged by Xu Xu Fuzi for the first time, and then, to complete Yan Dan's mission, he began to work hard to adapt to this sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by, and another while passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jing Ke gradually adapted to the Residual Rainbow sword, in his spare time, he worked hard with Qin Qin Wuyang to learn the various etiquettes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qin Empire's army stationed in Zhao Guo had still not withdrawn, and an atmosphere of fear shrouded Zhao Guo. On this day, Crown Prince Yan Dan took the initiative to write to the King of Zhao, proposing to cede land to the Qin Empire to seek peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Dan's proposal surprised many of Zhao Guo's ministers, but Yan Dan spoke with reason and evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qin Empire's army was stationed right next to the Yi River. If the Qin Empire wanted to, it could raise an army to conquer Zhao Guo at any time. Even Zhao Guo could not resist the Qin Empire; could Zhao Guo resist the Qin Empire's attack?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, rather than waiting for the Qin Empire to take the initiative to attack Zhao Guo, it would be better for Zhao Guo to take the initiative to cede land and seek peace with the Qin Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Qin Empire received the benefits, even if it wanted to move troops again, it would be impossible to attack Zhao Guo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were in another country, once such talk of ceding land and seeking peace came out, there would be some opposition, but Zhao Guo was different. Yan Dan had previously been the leader of the opposition. Since he, the leader of the opposition, said so, naturally no one could oppose it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many ministers, including the King of Zhao, praised Yan Dan for his dedication to the country. Although Yan Dan said he would cede the Dukang land, which made the King of Zhao feel some heartache, thinking of Zhao Guo's end, ceding Dukang to preserve Zhao Guo was worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After discussing the way to preserve Zhao Guo, the next difficulty was: who should be the envoy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King of Zhao had originally intended to send important officials of Zhao Guo, but Yan Dan said two names that no one had ever heard of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Ke, Qin Qin Wuyang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who were these two people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were they qualified to take on this heavy responsibility?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many ministers raised objections to this, but in the end, Lord Yan Chun came forward to help Yan Dan lobby, successfully persuading the King of Zhao to appoint these two as envoys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Yan Chun's help surprised Yan Dan, but he gladly accepted his uncle's kindness. He believed that this was his uncle returning the favor, as he had acquiesced to his uncle taking away Xue Nu earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, it had been a long time since Xue Nu entered his uncle's mansion and there had been no news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not know if she had been played to death by his uncle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly a pity for such a beauty to die like this, but being able to exchange her for his uncle's help today, her sacrifice was quite valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ceding the Dukang land and the choice of envoys—these two matters had been handled by Yan Dan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was ready, but to gain Ying Zheng's trust, relying on the map of Dukang alone was not enough. According to Lord Lord Changping's plan, one more thing was needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the court affairs, Yan Dan went to another place in Jicheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a civilian residence in Jicheng, this was Fan Fan Yuqi's dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since coming to Zhao Guo, Crown Prince Yan Dan had always treated him well, which Fan Fan Yuqi appreciated very much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing Fan Fan Yuqi, Yan Dan immediately stated his plan, \"I intend to send envoys to the Qin Empire to offer the Dukang land to gain the Qin King's trust, and then carry out the assassination!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Fan Fan Yuqi's heart chilled. He knew a bit about the current situation in the world, but he had not expected Yan Dan to do such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crown Prince, what courage!\" After spending some time digesting the news, Fan Fan Yuqi praised Yan Dan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Dan said, \"But relying on the Dukang land alone is probably not enough to fully gain Ying Zheng's trust, so I need one more thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What thing?\" Fan Fan Yuqi asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General Fan's head!\" Yan Dan's voice was cold as he stated his purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Fan Yuqi's pupils contracted slightly. He was a person who feared death; he had escaped from the Qin Empire precisely because he did not want to die. Hearing Yan Dan's words, he subconsciously wanted to escape, but the next moment, sharp pain struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure had arrived behind him at some point, and a sword had pierced firmly into his heart. The person who struck was none other than the Hero Tian Guang!\u003C\u002Fp>",1428,"2026-06-17T04:20:18.105Z","2026-06-17T04:29:30.761Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","623ee4bb275be08c4e936c9f22d1a600dae47092b349746a4bba9d6b866dc70f","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-223","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-221",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-cover.jpg"]
