After Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang separated, they each went back to pack up some things and set off with their men.
On the banks of the Yishui River.
"Take care on your journey."
Gao Jianli held Jing Ke's hand tightly with reluctance in his eyes.
A handsome face was full of solemnity.
He did not approve of his friend's trip to Qin to assassinate the King of Qin.
The Xianyang Palace was heavily guarded, and the King of Qin was cruel and bloodthirsty. If the matter were to be exposed, his good friend would surely die.
He only had this one like-minded friend in his life. Without him, who would he turn to for drinks and conversation, or to play music and sing?
But he knew very well that Prince Dan had been very kind to his friend, and now that his friend was entrusted by Prince Dan, he could not refuse, and would not refuse.
He couldn't stop his friend, so he could only bury everything deep in his heart and hope that his friend would return triumphantly.
"Don't worry, I'm still waiting to come back and drink with you and listen to you play the zhu."
Jing Ke patted Gao Jianli's hand and looked at Prince Dan beside him.
"Your Highness, I don't know when I will be able to return. I hope you can take good care of my good friend."
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully him."
Prince Dan felt no pressure regarding Jing Ke's instructions.
It's just a matter of taking care of one more person. He has many houses and can just choose one for him to live in.
Just arrange a few more people to watch over him and prevent anyone from bullying him. It's that simple.
Jing Ke turned around and boarded the boat with Qin Wuyang and a dozen guards.
Gao Jianli stretched out his hand, grabbed forward twice, but finally stopped and put his hand into his sleeve.
Looking at his friends on the boat, he picked up the zither beside him, pressed the strings with one hand, and struck the strings with a bamboo ruler with the other.
Hearing the voice, Jing Ke suddenly turned around and looked at Gao Jianli on the shore, feeling a sense of sadness.
"The wind whistles and the Yi River is cold. Once the hero leaves... he will never return."
The boat is going farther and farther away, but the voice of my friend seems to still be in my ears.
Gao Jianli's eyes were filled with tears, and his movements of playing the zither became faster and faster!
Until the boat disappeared, he suddenly stopped moving, stood up, took two quick steps forward, and then suddenly stopped again.
"I'll leave them to you. If you need anything, please go to the Prince's Mansion and find me."
"I have several vacant houses. If you are not comfortable living in your current residence, you can ask them to move you there."
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After speaking calmly, Prince Dan casually pointed to two guards to stay and left with the others without looking back.
"The wind whistles... the Yi River is cold, the warrior leaves... and never returns."
Gao Jianli's shoulders slumped and he kept muttering these words.
The sorrow in his heart almost overwhelmed him.
My friend, now that you are gone, will we ever see each other again in this life?
...........
Qin State.
Xianyang Palace.
A Black Ice Guard suddenly appeared in the hall and saluted Ying Zheng.
"His Majesty."
"explain."
Black Ice Guard said, "Spies report that Jing Ke from Yan has entered the territory of our Great Qin!"
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Jing Ke has indeed come.
"Well, I understand. Keep an eye on his movements."
"promise."
The Black Ice Guard disappeared again.
Feng Quji frowned and asked, "What is Jing Ke doing here?"
Wang Wan, who was standing by, couldn't help but exclaim, "Could it be that Jing Ke really came here to assassinate Your Majesty?!"
"Your Majesty, please take precautions early!"
What Qi Pan said really came true. Jing Ke really came to assassinate His Majesty!
What?
Assassinate His Majesty?!
Feng Quji looked at Wang Wan in confusion, then at Ying Zheng, completely bewildered.
Ying Zheng said, "I haven't told you yet, but that young man said that Prince Dan of Yan sent Jing Ke to assassinate me."
What?
How could the Yan State be so bold?!
How dare you send someone to assassinate His Majesty? ! !
Feng Quji hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please arrest Jing Ke immediately and put him in jail!"
Since he is such a dangerous person, of course we have to capture him first and eliminate the danger!
But Ying Zheng said, "No rush."
He is very curious.
Would Jing Ke really dare to assassinate him as Qi Pan said?
In other words, he still had a hint of doubt about what Qi Pan said.
He wanted to verify whether what she said was true or false.
Could there be any deviation between the facts and the history she told?
Wang Wan and Feng Quji were immediately anxious, "Your Majesty..."
Ying Zheng raised his hand to stop them from finishing their words and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Lord Wang, Lord Feng, I know you are worried about my safety."
"You don't need to worry. I won't joke with my own life."
"Let's see what Jing Ke is going to do, and take this opportunity to verify what the young man said."
"If Jing Ke is really as that young man said, then I must adjust my attitude towards her appropriately and not neglect her."
Wang Wan and Feng Quji looked at each other.
"As long as Your Majesty understands the situation, I will not say anything more."
Jing Ke, along with Qin Wuyang and others, traveled through mountains and rivers and finally set foot on the land of Qin.
They came to Qin as envoys from Yan State.
After entering Xianyang, Jing Ke discovered that he could not enter the palace to meet the King of Qin just by arriving in Qin.
The palace gate was heavily guarded. He went there several times and begged to be allowed to see the King of Qin, but was refused every time.
There were countless envoys of all sizes from various countries, and the King of Qin would not receive every envoy who asked for an audience.
Jing Ke, who was originally full of ambition, was hit on the head by the guard at the palace gate before he even met Ying Zheng.
The blow made his body stagger and his face look extremely ugly.
Looking at the towering city walls and the fierce Qin guards, Jing Ke could only turn around and walk towards the inn where he was temporarily staying.
After returning to the inn and entering the room, Qin Wuyang walked quickly forward and asked.
"How about it? When can we go to the palace to meet the King of Qin?"
They had been in Xianyang for three days, but they had not even been able to enter the Xianyang Palace.
How about assassinating the King of Qin?
He had also thought about sneaking into the Xianyang Palace and killing the King of Qin under the cover of night.
But he couldn't even enter the Xianyang Palace, let alone find the King of Qin and assassinate him.
The only way now is to enter the palace so that they can have a chance.
"I tried, but no matter what I said or what conditions I offered, the guards at the palace gate refused to report on my behalf."
"He accepted the money, but he was still so stubborn and refused to say a word."
Jing Ke's face turned pale. He didn't expect that the guards in the palace were so difficult to deal with!
I received a lot of benefits from him for nothing, but didn't do anything for him!
It's really abominable!!
"So what should we do now?"
Qin Wuyang also had a gloomy face. He didn't expect that the Qin soldiers were so shameless!
Just taking money but not doing anything!
Xianyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, this is what Jing Ke secretly gave to me."
