Chapter 375

As the exclamation sounded, many guards rushed onto the hall, intending to capture Jing Ke.

Jing Ke did not have any nervousness. Also not nervous was the Qin Wang, Ying Zheng.

"Guards, withdraw first!"

The Qin Wang spoke, and the many guards had to withdraw.

This "zero seven zero" move by the Qin Wang surprised many ministers. Among them, after Jing Ke said that a sword was hidden in the map, Lord Changping's expression changed slightly. The matter seemed to be deviating from his expectations.

Jing Ke did not do as he had plotted, using the excuse of the Qin Wang flipping through the map to assassinate the Qin Wang, but instead stated from the beginning that a sword was hidden in the map.

"This person... has a problem!!"

Lord Changping's mood was complex. In a short moment, he thought of many things.

He had to make the worst preparations.

Even if the assassination of the Qin Wang failed, as long as he held a high position in the Qin Guo, there were still many opportunities to save the State of Chu. At the moment, the first thing he needed to do was to eliminate those few people who inspected Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang before the imperial road.

Those people acted on his instructions, deliberately relaxing the inspection, thereby allowing Jing Ke to bring the sword in.

Even if he did not directly order those people, if investigated carefully, some clues could still be found.

If these clues were discovered, it was very likely that he would be implicated.

At this time, he had to protect himself.

At the same time, he also tried hard to comfort himself that even if the assassination of the Qin Wang really failed, it could actually be considered a good thing. At least, after this, the anger of the Qin Guo would be vented entirely on the State of Yan, and all attention would be focused on the State of Yan, leaving no time to care about the State of Chu.

Ying Zheng ignored the thoughts of the many ministers in the court. His gaze continued to fall on Jing Ke, "I have never seen a sword forged from meteorite iron from beyond the heavens. Take the sword out and let me have a look!"

"Yes!"

While Jing Ke was speaking, under the gaze of everyone and the indignant gaze of Qin Wuyang, he directly opened the scroll of the Dukang map in his hands. As the huge map was flipped to the end, the figure of a sword suddenly appeared.

As this sword appeared, in an instant, the temperature in the air also rose quite a bit, and a scorching, fierce, and evil aura permeated out.

"There really is a sword?!"

Seeing the map end and the sword appear, many ministers were shocked. Although they had called for guards earlier, there was also a possibility that Jing Ke was deliberately lying, pretending that a sword was hidden in the scroll.

As a result, they had not expected that a sword was really hidden in the scroll.

Were those eunuchs who inspected the Yan State envoys before the imperial road eating for free?

The laws required that they could not even bring in hairpins, yet this person brought in such a long sword!

"Master Gai!"

Ying Zheng turned his head and spoke.

A figure who had been guarding by his side walked out.

After seeing this figure, Jing Ke could not help but be stunned, just because he knew this person, even though they had actually not met for many years.

Gai Nie was from the State of Zhao.

He was a disciple of the Guigu Zongheng School. The Guigu School's whereabouts were hidden, and ordinary people did not know where their sect's base was. But because of his master Gongsun Yu, Jing Ke knew a little bit. The Guigu School was hidden in the Yunmeng Mountain of the Wei Guo. If one traced the land of Yunmeng Mountain further up, it actually belonged to the Wei Guo, but it was later occupied by the Wei Guo.

Because of this, the Guigu School's base was not far from the Puyang City that he and his master defended back then, and his master Gongsun Yu seemed to have a deep connection with the contemporary Guiguzi. After some back and forth, Gai Nie, the first disciple of Guiguzi, could be considered an acquaintance of his.

When Puyang was still there, Gai Nie often traveled between Puyang and Guigu, and could be considered an old friend he had known since he was a youth.

Unfortunately, a war.

Puyang fell, his master Gongsun Yu died in battle, and he and his junior sister Gongsun Liji eventually left Puyang and went to the Mohist School. The marriage alliance between him and Gai Nie was also interrupted because of this.

Jing Ke did not expect to see Gai Nie again here.

He could not help but have some conjectures in his heart.

If he followed Yan Dan's requirements and continued to execute the plan to assassinate the Qin Wang, Gai Nie would probably become the biggest obstacle to his plan!

Gai Nie, as a descendant of Guigu, had powerful strength. Back in Puyang, when the two of them sparred with swordsmanship, Gai Nie had the upper hand. Now, many years later, Gai Nie was probably even stronger.

As Jing Ke's thoughts flickered, he saw Gai Nie walk in front of him.

Although they were old acquaintances, this was not the time to reminisce. Jing Ke and Gai Nie looked at each other and handed the sword in his hand to Gai Nie.

Gai Nie took the Canhong Sword. As soon as the sword was in his hand, he felt a scorching sensation, as if it was going to burn the skin of his palm. This made Gai Nie even more convinced of the fact that this sword was a fierce sword.

When this sword appeared earlier, he had felt a scorching evil aura.

"What a fierce sword!"

Gai Nie said softly, and immediately, he circulated his internal energy. In an instant, the fierce and evil aura of this sword was forcibly suppressed.

From the time Jing Ke obtained the Canhong Sword until now, he had been trying hard to adapt to the Canhong Sword and had the clearest feeling of the Canhong Sword. He immediately noticed the change and could not help but look at Gai Nie in surprise.

'Brother Gai is truly impressive!'

Gai Nie held the Canhong Sword and walked back to Ying Zheng's side. He held the Canhong Sword with both hands, and Ying Zheng carefully examined the Canhong Sword for a while, "It is somewhat interesting!"

In fact, he could not see any difference between the Canhong sword forged from meteorite and an ordinary sword, but since Jing Ke said it was a gift, he had to express that he liked this gift.

After finishing looking at the Canhong Sword, Ying Zheng asked Gai Nie to put the Canhong Sword away and stand aside, and then asked Jing Ke, "The sword forged from meteorite iron from beyond the heavens is the third gift. I wonder what the fourth gift is?"

Jing Ke's expression was complex, and in the end, he still said the words in his heart, "This fourth gift is the ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains of the State of Yan, the state and society. This gift requires the Qin Wang to send someone to take it himself!"
