Chapter 380
Obviously, something happened that prompted Jing Ke to change his mind.
Even, 073, even the deputy envoy Qin Wuyang did not know that Jing Ke had changed his mind, which was why he was furious after hearing Jing Ke's words and chose to assassinate Seeing Ying Zheng alone.
Unfortunately, although Qin Wuyang was brave, he was only one person and ultimately could not become a great trend.
In the end, he died under the long sword forged for the purpose of assassinating Seeing Ying Zheng.
"I really feel more and more unwilling as I think about it!"
In the mansion, Lord Changping clenched his fists, and his nails embedded into the flesh of his palms, bringing a burst of stinging pain.
If Jing Ke had not betrayed, he would have approached Seeing Ying Zheng with the excuse of letting Seeing Ying Zheng flip through the map. When the map was flipped to the end, the long sword would appear, and holding the long sword, he could take Seeing Ying Zheng's life with one sword.
But because of his betrayal, all of this fell short of success.
He calculated everything and planned everything, but the only thing he did not expect was the human heart.
If he had known that Jing Ke was so unreliable, he should not have fooled Yan Dan into letting the Mohist School do this. He should have let the Agricultural School help him.
At that time, he was still too hesitant.
Because he could not bear to part with the Agricultural School and wanted to let the Mohist School become a sacrifice.
But he did not understand clearly that if (aiee) sacrificing an Agricultural School could kill Seeing Ying Zheng, that would also be worth it.
At the same time, those eunuchs who inspected Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang were taken away as soon as they finished the inspection. Seeing Ying Zheng's calmness, and later, his issuing an edict to pardon Jing Ke, all confirmed Lord Changping's conjecture that Seeing Ying Zheng had long anticipated the assassination, and even, Jing Ke might have been attached to him from the beginning.
"Seeing Ying Zheng, oh Seeing Ying Zheng, how much do you actually know?"
Things gradually deviated from his control. Lord Changping could not help but feel a bit panicked. At the moment, he could only pin his hopes on Yan Dan, hoping that Yan Dan did not tell the Mohist people that the plan to assassinate the Qin Wang was plotted by him. In that case, if Jing Ke really defected to Seeing Ying Zheng, he would appear very passive.
Even if Seeing Ying Zheng did not have substantial evidence, some things did not need evidence. Just a suspicion could potentially make many of his plans come to nothing.
Just like the death of Bai Qi, Bai Qi did not have the intention of rebellion, but he had the ability to rebel, so he could only die!
State of Yan.
After Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang went to the Qin Guo, Yan Dan had been waiting quietly in the Crown Prince's mansion.
He had been in a state of anxiety.
On one hand, he was a bit nervous. What if the assassination of the Qin Wang failed, Seeing Ying Zheng did not die, and the angry Seeing Ying Zheng swung his butcher knife toward the State of Yan? What should he do then? However, after this thought arose, he tried his best to comfort himself.
No, the assassination of the Qin Wang would not fail.
For this matter, he prepared so much, and even the Six-Fingered Black Hero, who had great grace toward him, was willing to murder. Plus, there was Lord Changping in the Qin Guo as an inside man to provide help, so the assassination of the Qin Wang would not fail.
Of course, even if it succeeded, he had to make some preparations.
After all, it was the envoy of the State of Yan who assassinated the Qin Wang, Seeing Ying Zheng. The State of Yan, in reason and emotion, would be implicated.
What he needed to do was to avoid this risk as much as possible. As long as he could bear the anger of the Qin Guo, and wait until the situation of the Qin Guo gradually stabilized, the Qin Guo, having lost its King, would no longer have the heart to send troops against the states of Shandong.
Time passed slowly.
Because the State of Yan was far away from the Qin Guo, the news from the Qin Guo had not been sent back yet.
Yan Dan had always not known the specific situation in the Qin Guo.
On this day, someone brought the King's order and summoned him.
"Crown Prince, the King wants you to enter the palace!"
Yan Dan changed his clothes and hurriedly went to the palace. After stepping into the palace hall, he found his father, as well as many ministers, all present. His uncle, Yan Chun Jun, was even looking at him with sinister eyes, somewhat unkindly.
Yan Dan raised his eyebrows, realizing that something was wrong.
"Father, what happened?"
He tried to ask his father tentatively.
King Yan Xi heard Yan Dan's words and also came back to his senses. He looked at Yan Dan fiercely and said: "It's all because of the good things you did!"
When the news from the Qin Guo was sent back, he only then knew what this rebellious son had done. Those two envoys selected by him were not envoys at all, but thugs carrying sharp weapons.
One person defected on the spot, and the other attempted to assassinate Seeing Ying Zheng without success.
For a matter like assassinating the Qin Wang, if this rebellious son had informed him in advance, it would have been fine!
Although he still would not have agreed, at least he would have had some psychological preparation.
As a result, this rebellious son acted on his own initiative.
It would have been fine if he succeeded, but the key was that he failed.
Yan Dan listened to his father's reprimand and was somewhat puzzled. Soon, he understood.
"The Qin Guo sent us a gift, as well as a letter!"
As for the gift, Yan Dan soon saw it.
It was exactly Qin Wuyang's corpse. His state of death was extremely miserable, and one arm was cut off.
As for the letter from the Qin Guo, Yan Dan soon saw it too.
The content on the letter was very simple, just one sentence.
"I am very satisfied with the gift the State of Yan sent me, and I will send someone to take it soon!"
What gift did the State of Yan send Seeing Ying Zheng? That needed Seeing Ying Zheng to take it himself?
Besides the Dukang territory and the head of Fan Yuqi, were there any other gifts?
Soon, the monarch and ministers of the State of Yan knew.
After the gift from the Qin Guo was sent to the State of Yan, some details about the Xianyang Palace were also learned by the people of the State of Yan.
King Yan initially only knew that Jing Ke defected and Qin Wuyang's assassination attempt failed.
This time, new news was sent back, which included the words spoken by Jing Ke.
He offered the state and society of the State of Yan as a gift to Seeing Ying Zheng.
In the Crown Prince's mansion, Yan Dan's anger attacked his heart, and a mouthful of blood instantly sprayed out from his mouth, "Jing Ke, that little brat, has ruined me!"
