Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Since bringing back the Black and White Xuanjian, Ying Jing has been quite idle.

Every day, he would just spend some time cuddling with Li Wu, tease Wei Qianqian, and encourage Jing Ni to read more books and think more.

That seems to be all!

Hei Bai Xuan Jian's injuries have healed somewhat. He just bought a servant to take care of him, and now he can practice his sword in the courtyard.

The black and white blades, wielding fiercely, still possessed formidable power even without any internal energy.

Ying Jing glanced at it a few times...

can't read.

He's cheating; he's never practiced swordsmanship.

However, Ying Jing could see that Hei Bai Xuan Jian seemed to have benefited from the misfortune; he had almost reached the end of his "power".

However, if one wants to take it to the next level and transform "momentum" into "domain", then it depends on opportunity.

Perhaps, I will never have this opportunity in my lifetime.

On the other side, Jing Ni was also practicing her sword.

Compared to Hei Bai Xuan Jian, Jing Ni's sword practice is much more pleasing to the eye.

When she danced, it was as if a giant salamander was swimming in the water.

Ignoring that Jing Ni was practicing her sword, Ying Jing grabbed her slender waist.

The fish-scale suit is still so rough on the hands!

Jingni didn't care about Changxin-jun's closeness.

Getting close to Nagatoshi-kun... is also part of the mission.

But Ying Jing's next words made her freeze instantly.

"Jing Ni, you must have another mission in mind when you came to Wei, right?"

Upon hearing Ying Jing's words, Jing Ni felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Is Lord Changxin really a deity...? Does he already know?

"I can't hide it from Lord Changxin, Jingni does indeed have another mission this time."

Jing Ni's face was somewhat pale, and she unconsciously gripped the Jing Ni sword in her hand.

But then, Ying Jing suddenly continued, "Assassinate Lord Xinling?"

Whew!

Jing Ni relaxed completely and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty is a brilliant strategist. Lord Xinling has united five states to attack Qin. Prime Minister Lü believes that he will bring great trouble to Qin. However, assassinating him is a long-term task and there is no need to rush it."

Ying Jing seemed quite interested: "Then tell me, how do you plan to assassinate Lord Xinling?"

Although it was a little strange that Lord Changxin was so interested in Lord Xinling, Jingni did not hide it.

"Lord Xinling had many retainers, including many skilled assassins. To assassinate Lord Xinling, one must first gain his trust, infiltrate his inner circle, and then seize the opportunity to kill him."

Ying Jing frowned.

"Gaining trust?"

Jing Ni remained calm, removing the spiderweb mask from her face: "This face is enough to gain Lord Xinling's trust. It won't be difficult to infiltrate his side and find an opportunity to kill him."

This is a face as exquisite as a porcelain doll, with fair and delicate skin that seems to break at a touch. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't resemble that of a ruthless killer.

Ying Jing stared straight at her for a long time before finally chuckling softly and gently stroking her flawless face with one hand.

"I'm afraid you'll have to give up more than just this face. In that case, let's make a deal."

Jingni didn't resist; she was just a little dazed.

What qualifications does she have to make Changxin Jun do business with her?

"Your Majesty, please speak frankly."

I've finally gotten a bit more of a brain working these past couple of days, but it feels like it's not enough anymore.

“I helped you kill Lord Xinling. In return, I will take the face and body you were prepared to sacrifice for assassinating him.”

Jing Ni fell silent.

He was unaware of Changxin Jun's strength.

Maybe he really can do it.

However, she didn't quite understand or comprehend it.

Are her face and body really that important? Worthy of Changxin Jun going to such great lengths?

"As a ruler, one should not engage in assassination."

After a long while, Jingni finally uttered a sentence.

Indeed, how could a dignified Lord Changxin, a benevolent man of Jingda, become an assassin?

“Jingni, I have never said that I would assassinate Lord Xinling.”

"Sometimes, killing doesn't necessarily require a sword."

Ying Jing stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes seemingly piercing through layers of emptiness as he gazed upon the Wei Palace.

Jingni tilted her head: "Does Your Majesty intend to poison me? But there are skilled farmers among Lord Xinling's retainers, so poisoning would be useless."

Ying Jing: "..."

This woman's brain definitely hasn't fully developed yet!

Maybe I'll become smarter after getting pregnant?

No, that's not right. They say pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, so you'll probably be even dumber by then.

"Does Your Majesty mean to sow discord between Lord Xinling and the King of Wei?"

Not far away, Li Wu walked slowly towards them.

Having spent a considerable amount of time with Lord Changxin, her mind had completely grown up.

Looking at Li Wu's charming face, Ying Jing nodded in satisfaction, but then shook his head and smiled.

"Lord Xinling was very capable and had great personal charisma, which attracted a large number of followers. However, his plan to steal the tally to save Zhao back then had already determined the conflict between him and the King of Wei. There was no need for us to sow discord between them."

When the State of Zhao was besieged by the State of Qin in Handan, it sought help from the State of Wei. The King of Wei initially disagreed, but Lord Xinling directly had the King of Wei's concubine, Ruji, steal the military tally and falsely issue the king's order.

General Jin Bi at the time had doubts about the authenticity of the king's order. Zhu Hai, who had accompanied Lord Xinling, beat Jin Bi to death, thus allowing Lord Xinling to take control of the military.

Although the final result wasn't bad for the State of Wei, considering what Lord Xinling did, the fact that he's still alive today is a testament to the magnanimity of the King of Wei!

"Recently, there have been some rumors in Daliang City... Lord Xinling is interested in the throne, and he has cultivated a large number of talented retainers who will be able to serve as officials and be granted titles in the future. Moreover, he is on good terms with the General, and the two are sworn brothers."

Li Wu's eyes seemed to ripple with gentle waves, shimmering with moisture, as she stared directly at Ying Jing, as if asking a question.

"This was done by Wei Yong!"

It was Wei Yong who did it, but the idea came from Lord Changxin...

This is not a clever strategy.

Anyone with eyes can see that this is a rumor deliberately spread by someone with ulterior motives, with the aim of sowing discord.

Even if you can tell, it might not matter, as this rumor isn't entirely unfounded.

Did Lord Xinling aspire to the throne?

He also has royal blood, so no one would believe him if he said he didn't.

He kept many talented retainers.

That's true. Who in the world doesn't know that Lord Xinling had many retainers?

He was on good terms with the general, a brotherhood that transcended life and death.

This is even more obvious; they were all involved in stealing the tally to rescue Zhao.

"It must have been difficult for Your Majesty to come up with such a plan for Jingni. Now, Lord Xinling and the General of Wei will probably be unable to defend themselves."

Li Wu, having followed Ying Jing for so long, truly knows how to provide assistance!

"This is... something that Lord Changxin... made for me?"

Jing Ni felt like her brain was growing wildly!

a long time.

"If Lord Xinling is really dead, Jingni's face and body are at Your Majesty's disposal."

Jing Ni suddenly felt very clever.

She was meant to get close to Lord Nagatoku.

Even if Changxin-jun forcibly demands it, she will not refuse to give it to him.

Everything she had never truly belonged to her.

Using something that doesn't belong to you to make a trade.

It's a sure thing, no risk, we have to do it!
