Palace banquet.
Ying Zheng sat at the top, with his ministers sitting on both sides.
The palace servants came in one after another, carrying dishes, fruits and placed them on the tables of everyone.
Several dancers were dancing in the hall.
After the song ended, the dancers left one after another, and a young man walked into the hall holding a zither.
Although there were straps around his eyes, it did not hinder his progress.
Walking to the middle, Gao Jianli sat cross-legged.
Among the ministers sitting nearby, looking at Gao Jianli's appearance, he whispered to the person next to him.
"Hey? Who is this musician? Why have I never seen him before?"
"I don't know. I have no impression."
"Look at him, he's a musician who can't see?"
"How strange! How can someone who can't see learn to play a musical instrument?"
"I don't know about this. Maybe it's a natural talent?"
"Yeah, that makes sense..."
"Then I'll take a good look at how he's progressing in learning the instrument."
Ying Zheng was not at all surprised to see Gao Jianli appear in the hall.
There was actually a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
A few days ago, he received a tip from the border that an innocent soldier guarding the night gate of a small town was killed.
The death was miserable.
After investigation by the Black Ice Guards, they discovered that the soldier was killed by Gao Jianli.
Now he hasn't gone to look for him yet, but he appears in front of him.
Thinking of the information found by Black Ice Guard.
The soldier who died had been married for just over a month, leaving behind his elderly parents and his newlywed wife.
Boundless coldness began to brew in Ying Zheng's eyes!
The look he gave Gao Jianli was as if he were looking at a dead person.
Gao Jianli was still thinking about how to get close to the King of Qin.
Then a cold voice was heard.
"No need to play music."
Gao Jianli paused what he was doing.
He raised his head in confusion, and looked at Ying Zheng with his dark eyes.
The ministers around were originally chatting and laughing with smiles on their faces.
At this moment, everyone fell silent and sat upright, looking at Ying Zheng.
I wonder what happened to Your Majesty?
Ying Zheng raised his hand and said, "Come here."
The two soldiers immediately walked quickly into the hall and saluted.
"His Majesty."
"Drag this man out and chop him up."
Wh-what?
The ministers around him widened their eyes in shock!
Your Majesty, what happened?
Why did they suddenly kill a musician???
Could it be that the musician's playing was so awful that it displeased His Majesty?
But they didn't find it unpleasant to listen to.
The two soldiers have always fully carried out Ying Zheng's orders!
He immediately walked to Gao Jianli, lifted his arm, and dragged him out.
If His Majesty says to drag him out, then he must be dragged out!
No discounts at all!
Seeing that he was about to be dragged out and chopped, Gao Jianli didn't care about exposing his identity and shouted quickly!
"King Qin! How dare you kill innocent people?!"
"What have I done wrong that you ordered someone to chop me down?!"
He couldn't accept that he was dragged out and chopped to pieces before he even touched the corner of Ying Zheng's clothes.
"Killing innocent people indiscriminately?"
Ying Zheng raised his hand and the two soldiers stopped.
But he didn't loosen his grip and was still holding Gao Jianli's arm.
Ying Zheng said indifferently, "You said I killed innocent people?"
"When you cut the gatekeeper's neck, why didn't you say you were killing innocent people?"
"What did that soldier do wrong? Why do you want to kill him?"
What?
This musician killed the gatekeeper?
How come they don’t know?
When did this happen?
Which gatekeeper was killed?
How could this musician, a blind man, be so bold as to kill a soldier?
The ministers looked at each other in confusion.
After hearing what Ying Zheng said, Gao Jianli knew that his identity was exposed.
So he stopped hiding it and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
"What if I know, what if I don't know?"
Ying Zheng said, "You killed my Qin soldiers, so I cannot forgive you."
"Oh!"
Gao Jianli said coldly, "He's just a soldier. Is it worth making such a fuss?"
"You're just afraid that I'll kill you, why are you pretending?!"
He just didn't believe that Ying Zheng wanted to kill him just because he killed a soldier casually.
He must have known his identity and was afraid that he would avenge Jing Ke.
That's why he gave the order to have him dragged out and beheaded.
The ministers on both sides were so frightened that their faces turned pale!
What?
Assassination?!
This musician wants to assassinate Your Majesty?
Or a blind man?
"You are just a blind man who wants to assassinate me?"
"You're still a long way off."
Ying Zheng didn't take the man in front of him seriously at all.
When they were at the inn, Qi Pan mentioned Jing Ke's friend Gao Jianli.
He would blind himself and sneak into the palace as a musician.
Waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him.
Since he already knew Gao Jianli's identity, and this person appeared in front of him.
Then he didn't need to give him any more chances and could just chop him down.
So that he won't harm other people again.
Ying Zheng directly ordered, "Drag him out and chop him off."
"No! King Qin, you can't!! Ugh! Ugh..."
Before Gao Jianli could finish his words, he was silenced by the soldiers beside him.
He struggled desperately to say something.
But he was held tightly by the two soldiers who were dragging him!
After leaving the palace, the soldiers who had been waiting on the side wiped the swords in their hands.
