Chat group: In Daqin, Dongjun brought happiness to us

Jing Ke suddenly said, "Your Highness, wait a minute!"

Ying An knew that the key to the assassination attempt on Qin was revealed. If his predictions were correct, the map in Jing Ke's hand must contain the dragon-slaying sword... Canhong!

After the assassination attempt on Qin Shi Huang failed, the Broken Rainbow was recast as the Deep Rainbow, becoming Gai Nie's sword.

As Jing Ke is considered to be the best assassin in the world, the difference in strength between him and others with a sword in his hand is as huge as the difference between heaven and earth.

At this moment, Jing Ke suddenly spoke, he must be trying to get close to him and play a trick to reveal his true intentions.

"Your Highness, you don't know!" Jing Ke seemed to lower his head in response, but out of the corner of his eye, he quickly glanced around. He said calmly, "The map in my hand was drawn by the State of Yan. Without someone to explain it, it would be difficult for outsiders to understand. It would be better for me to explain it to Your Highness in person."

Although the Black and White Sisters knew that the envoys from the four countries were here to assassinate Ying An, as long as Ying An did not speak, they could only wait for Ying An's decision.

Ying An smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect that the map of Yan State actually has a secret. In that case, let the envoy personally explain the mystery of this map to me!!"

These meaningful words made Jing Ke's heart skip a beat.

No one knew better than Jing Ke what mysteries were hidden in the map of Yan State in his hand.

However, the arrow is now on the string, and no matter whether Ying An has really discovered something or not, Jing Ke cannot afford to retreat.

Taking a deep breath, Jing Ke bowed to Ying An and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

As he spoke, Jing Ke walked towards Ying An with steady steps.

When he was three meters in front of Ying An, Jing Ke stopped, hung up the map, and slowly unfolded it while explaining: "Your Highness, this is the Hutuo River. This is the Yishui River. My king intends to cede the Hutuo River to the Qin Dynasty. The Yishui River is..."

"There's no rush! Let me finish looking at this map first! After all, I still have to seize ten cities on the map of Yan State!" Ying An said with a smile.

"Yes!" Jing Ke nodded reluctantly and continued to explain.

As the map opens, it becomes larger and larger.

The next moment, a flash of sword energy suddenly burst out, like a dragon emerging from the sea. At a speed that was difficult for people to react, it shot towards Ying An.

Off to the side, Gai Nie seemed to be a beat slow to react. After the sword energy burst out, he didn't immediately attack.

Chapter 273: Ying An’s Disappointment! Where is the Majesty of the Qin Dynasty?

Although Ying An bore the brunt of the attack, when facing Jing Ke, who was arguably the most elite assassin and swordsman in the Qin Dynasty world, he was still able to spare some of his attention and pay attention to Gai Nie standing beside him.

Unfortunately, Gai Nie's slow reaction ruined his last chance in Ying An's heart.

At first, he clearly recognized Jing Ke, but he chose to ignore him. Without any warning, knowing that Jing Ke's assassination swordsmanship was unrivaled in the martial arts world, he allowed Jing Ke to approach Ying An.

Even after Jing Ke had already taken action, Gai Nie still showed a slow reaction.

All this made Gai Nie completely useless in Ying An's heart.

Yes! !

It's about utilizing value.

Although Gai Nie would become a recognized swordsman in the future, in Ying An's eyes, Gai Nie was of little value to him from the beginning to the end.

In terms of wisdom, he, a descendant of a family of diplomats, possessed no knowledge of the art of strategy, aside from his renowned swordsmanship. In terms of martial arts, even if the Qin Dynasty's swordsmanship reached its peak, how could it compare to the human immortal martial arts and divine soul immortal ways of the Yangshen World?

Now, when Ying An is about to be assassinated by Jing Ke, Gai Nie has lost even his loyalty.

A swordsman who lacks the power to intimidate, possesses no wisdom to offer advice, and whose loyalty is questionable. Just imagine, which superior would care about such a person?

At the same time that Ying An had completely given up on Gai Nie in his heart, Jing Ke's sword energy had already penetrated Ying An's body in a flash.

“Your Majesty!!”

In the hall, exclamations came one after another.

Civil and military officials rushed towards Ying An one by one.

However, compared with the civil and military ministers standing on the left and right, the envoys from Wei, Qi and Chu behind Jing Ke also drew their weapons from the map and rushed towards Ying An fearlessly at the moment Jing Ke took action.

Although Jing Ke thought that his sword had pierced through Ying An's body, he didn't relax at all. He rushed towards Ying An with the sword in hand. It was clear that he wanted to kill Ying An once and for all.

At this moment, Gai Nie seemed to have finally come to his senses. He rushed to Ying An with his sword in hand, blocking Jing Ke in time, and single-handedly blocked the envoys from Qi, Wei, and Chu, including Jing Ke, the envoy from Yan.

Facing Gai Nie's attack, Ying An's face showed no expression at all.

He just stared blankly at the fight between Gai Nie and the envoys from the four countries, as if he was trying his best to stop Jing Ke.

Although Gai Nie's swordsmanship had not yet reached its peak, at this moment, he had effectively bought time for the arrival of the Qin guards.

Even though Jing Ke's assassination swordsmanship was unparalleled, the Qin Dynasty was ultimately a world of martial arts. Even the future Gai Nie was severely injured by the siege of 300 elite Qin soldiers.

Jing Ke, who was particularly good at assassination and swordsmanship, was even less likely to stop the tigers and wolves of the Qin Dynasty.

As the guards rushed into the hall, in less than a few breaths, the envoys from Qi, Chu, and Wei were quickly cut into pieces by the guards.

Even Jing Ke was injured one after another and his life was coming to an end.

When the guards rushed over, Gai Nie pulled away in time and stood firmly in front of Ying An.

But at this moment, seeing Jing Ke's miserable end, a trace of confusion flashed in Gai Nie's eyes again.

The next moment, the long sword in Gai Nie's hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling sword light and attacked Jing Ke directly.

But just as the sword energy was about to strike Jing Ke, the void fluctuated, and the sword energy disappeared without a trace.

In this instant of change, Jing Ke, who was seriously injured in more than ten places, finally lost the strength to resist and was captured by the Qin guards.

At this moment, Gai Nie closed his eyes unable to bear it.

Although this series of changes may sound slow, in fact, the entire process only takes place within ten seconds.

"Mr. Gai Nie!" Ying An's cold voice came from behind Gai Nie.

At this time, Gai Nie seemed to realize that Ying An had been hit by Jing Ke's sword energy before.

He hurriedly turned around, saluted Ying An, and asked, "Is Your Highness injured?"

Ying An looked at Gai Nie with a half-smile and said, "If I remember correctly, you and Jing Ke should have known each other for a long time, right?"

The moment Ying An said Jing Ke's name, Gai Nie was stunned.

The truth is, although Jing Ke was quite famous in the martial arts world, he had always been active in places like Yan, Zhao, and Wei. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Ying An to know Jing Ke.

Even if he had heard of Jing Ke's name, how did Ying An know that he and Jing Ke were good friends?

Seeing that Gai Nie hadn't responded yet, Ying An asked, "Why? Is it difficult for you to answer my question, sir?"

Coming back to his senses, Gai Nie hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, I... did know Jing Ke!"

He nodded noncommittally, his eyes quickly passing over Gai Nie and resting on Jing Ke, and said, "Sir, what do you think should be done with Jing Ke?"

"Your Majesty!" The faces of the Qin civil and military officials changed drastically in an instant.

In the Qin Dynasty, assassinating the king and killing his charioteer was an unforgivable crime.

Logically speaking, Ying An didn't need to ask anyone about how to deal with Jing Ke.

No matter what reputation Jing Ke had in the martial arts world, or what his motives were, the moment he chose to assassinate Qin Shi Huang and stepped into the main hall of the Xianyang Palace, he had only one fate!

That is death!!

If Jing Ke had not died, where would the reputation of the Qin Dynasty be?

Where is the majesty of the Qin Dynasty?

Ying An twitched his sleeves, stopping the civil and military officials from trying to persuade him. He then pressed Gai Nie, "Sir? You haven't answered my question yet. What should we do with Jing Ke?"

If Gai Nie didn't know at this time that Ying An was already dissatisfied with him, then he would not be worthy of being someone trusted by Ying Zheng.

Although Gai Nie's strategy was a mess, he was much better than his junior brother Wei Zhuang in dealing with people.

Gai Nie gritted his teeth and could not bear to look at the thin and slender Jing Ke again. Instead, he bowed to Ying An and said, "Jing Ke intended to assassinate Your Highness. This crime will be dealt with according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty. It is not for me to interfere!"

Giving Gai Nie a meaningful look, Ying An smiled and said, "Since Mr. Lian says so, then Jing Ke is truly guilty of an unforgivable crime!"

The moment the words fell, a warm breeze instantly flew out from Ying An's body and passed over Jing Ke's body in the blink of an eye.

The moment this yang and peaceful spirit passed through Jing Ke's body, everyone in the hall clearly saw that a shadow with no signs of injury and a look of astonishment floated out from Jing Ke's body under an invisible force.

The entire hall instantly fell silent.

Chapter 274: Use your own strength to promote the world's upgrading!

"This is..." Jing Ke's spirit, which had been separated from his body, looked at his current state in astonishment, then looked at his miserable body. His gaze suddenly fell on Ying An.

"The Great Qin actually has such magical powers?"

In the annals of history, Jing Ke might be remembered as a renowned warrior. But in Ying An's eyes, Jing Ke might not have such a great reputation in the future of this world.

In Ying An's opinion, the main reason for Jing Ke's reputation was that the Qin Dynasty fell too early.

The Han Dynasty naturally denied the legitimacy of the Qin Dynasty. And the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And on this point, the Han Dynasty clearly succeeded. Not only did the Qin Dynasty become a tyrannical dynasty, but even the assassin Jing Ke became a heroic hero of all time.

But in this world, with Ying An, who in the world can overthrow the Qin Dynasty even if it relies solely on tyrannical military suppression?

Jing Ke, who assassinated Qin Shi Huang, was either forgotten or completely infamous for eternity.

Jing Ke's soul was extracted in full view of the crowd. Ying An glanced around.

Seeing that both the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty and the guards gathered in the hall, all of them showed expressions of shock and fear.

Ying An, however, opened a passage to the underworld without making a sound.

Along with this, a cold and gloomy energy spread out, making people feel cold all over.

A figure dressed in imperial robes stepped out of the passage and appeared in the main hall of Xianyang Palace.

As soon as the Lord of Mount Tai appeared, he bowed slightly towards Ying An and said, "Lord of Mount Tai, greetings to the Human Emperor!"

"Thank you for coming!" Ying An smiled and said, "This spirit intended to assassinate me in his lifetime. Its crime is unforgivable and cannot be redeemed even by death!"

The Lord of Mount Tai, who shared Ying An's true identity, certainly couldn't possibly contradict him on this point. Upon hearing this, he declared, "Assassinating the Emperor is a grave crime. I will condemn him to eternal torture in the underworld to atone for his sins!"

Ying An and the Lord of Mount Tai sang the same tune, although it seemed that there were no fancy magical powers or techniques that were shocking.

But no matter if it was the ministers in the court, the ordinary guards, or Gai Nie and the others, they all felt a chill running through their bodies.

Wanzai torture?

Life is only a few decades long, and living to seventy has been rare since ancient times.

If it were just a sin committed in the mortal realm, the worst that could happen would be death. But in this world, even souls existed, and even the Lord of Mount Tai appeared in person.

What is even more incredible and unbelievable is that the Lord of Mount Tai and Ying An actually have an attitude of equality in their relationship. In particular, it seems that the Lord of Mount Tai has a feeling that he is inferior to Ying An.

Doesn't that mean that once the Qin Dynasty unifies the six kingdoms, not only will the people of the world be ruled by the Qin Dynasty in life, but they will not be able to escape death either?

Now even Gai Nie couldn't sit still anymore.

Even though he knew Ying An already loathed him, Gai Nie couldn't help but plead, "Your Highness! Death is the end of all debts! Although Jing Ke assassinated Your Highness, it wasn't for selfish reasons. I hope Your Highness will show mercy!"

"Have mercy?" Ying An looked at Gai Nie with a half-smile, and said, "Then I wonder what you think of the punishment, sir?"

Gai Nie gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "Since Jing Ke is dead, he should be handed over to the underworld for punishment!"

"But the Lord of Mount Tai has already said it. Jing Ke's crime will never be redeemed!"

Gai Nieke didn't know what the relationship between Ying An and the Lord of Mount Tai was.

Seeing Ying An putting the blame on the Taishan Lord, Gai Nie knew his plea wouldn't work. But for the sake of his former friendship with Jing Ke, he still bravely bowed to the Taishan Lord and said, "I am from the Guigu Zongheng lineage. I greet you, Your Majesty!"

The Lord of Mount Tai looked as if he didn't know whether to proceed or not.

Although he had just passed through the space channel, he arrived at the Xianyang Palace of Qin State at the summons of Ying An.

But in reality, the Lord of Mount Tai had already understood everything that had just happened through communication with Ying An's spirit. He even knew Ying An's complete disappointment in Gai Nie.

At this time, facing Gai Nie, the Lord of Mount Tai would certainly not have a good face.

Are you kidding? Now all the schools of thought have surrendered to the Qin Dynasty. Although Gai Nie is the heir of this generation's strategist, apart from his swordsmanship, where has he inherited any of the strategist's wisdom?

If it was the previous generation of Guiguzi who was begging for mercy, perhaps the Lord of Mount Tai would still negotiate a little bit because the other party had completed the inheritance of Zongheng.

But Gai Nie...either in terms of personal strength or influence, is not enough to make the Lord of Mount Tai care about him.

"You want to plead for mercy for this traitor who assassinated the Emperor?" The Lord of Mount Tai sneered and said, "Do you know that this man's crimes are unprecedented?"

On this point, neither the Lord of Mount Tai nor Ying An intended to be mysterious.

Don't forget, the Lord of Mount Tai is one of Ying An's incarnations. At the same time, Ying An is also planning to establish a complete system of heaven and hell in the Qin Dynasty world.

For the Qin world itself, which has been falling from ancient gods and demons, Ying An's actions are simply pushing the world to an advanced level with his own strength.
