Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 89 Take the initiative
Thistle City.

On the street, there are few people, and inside the palace, people are in panic.

A few days ago, Crown Prince Dan of Yan State killed his cousin, son Dai, which caused his uncle, son Qing, to become furious.

Can the pain of bereavement be endured?
The always calm and calm son Qing actually wants to turn against his half-brother Yan Wangxi.

However, Gong Ziqing did not use the military talisman to mobilize the army of the fief, but hoped that Yan Wangxi would use the criminal law to exile Prince Dan and establish another prince!
Naturally, Wang Xi of Yan would not agree. The covenant between Qin and Zhao had already been signed, how could he change it with just one word?

What's more, abolishing the elders and setting up the young will easily lead to turmoil in the country of Yan. At a small scale, it is nothing more than brotherhood, but at a high scale, it is a party struggle in the court and the way to subjugate the country!

Yan Wangxi thought about it again and again, but did not agree, but gave Prince Fu to death, but it did not appease Young Master Qing's anger.

Young Master Qing even put down his cruel words, and said coldly: "If the prince is not dead, you and I will no longer be brothers!"

Naturally, Yan Wangxi didn't accept this kind of trick. Since the negotiation was not right, it would be a big deal to meet swordsmen!
Hearing that King Yan was going to start a war with Young Master Qing, everyone in the capital panicked.

At this moment, a carriage slowly drove into Jicheng, and the [-] iron cavalry behind them showed a fierce look, and the people who were already in fear became even more uneasy.

King Yan was as happy as sitting on pins and needles, thinking that young master Qing really wanted to fight for the eldest son.

But it was later learned that the three hundred cavalry and carriages were all special envoys of the State of Qin.

King Yan's trembling heart calmed down, and he quickly summoned all civil and military officials to gather in the main hall of the palace.

In the main hall, Yan Wangxi walked out from the screen and sat on the ground, showing tiger eyes, causing all the officials in the court to bow their heads and remain silent.

The Qin envoy Chang Wenjun took a deep breath when he saw the depressing atmosphere in the palace. When he looked at the young master's ferocious face, he couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine. However, he still held back his composure and said with a smile: "The King of Yan and the King of Qin have reached an alliance, and now I have The king's crown prince has already rushed to Jicheng, please Yan Guo to send the crown prince Dan to Qin as a hostage!"

King Yan raised his brows with joy, and squinted at Young Master Qing's dignified complexion.

In the main hall, it was as quiet as a chilling cicada, which made Chang Wenjun feel chills all over his body, and a slight chill appeared on his back.

Yan Wangxi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Gong Ziqing: "Prince Dan has family affairs to deal with, can you choose someone else to join Qin!"

Chang Wenjun shook his head calmly, and said with a sneer, "Family matters? The exchange of protons between the two countries is a major national event!"

"What's more, the two countries have signed an alliance, how can it be changed at will?"

"Furthermore, my king's edict requires Prince Dan to enter the Qin Dynasty and talk with the King of Qin about the past."

Hearing this, Young Master Qing's face sank, and the anger accumulated in his heart quickly surged up, his face gradually turned red and swollen.

Yan Wangxi caught a glimpse of the young master's displeasure, and smiled lightly: "What the envoy of Qin said is very true! Can you ask the envoy to escort you to Qin?"

Lord Changping nodded slightly, but Ziqing suddenly stood up from the group of officials and walked straight to Lord Changwen, his eyes shimmering, staring at Lord Changwen.

The two got closer and closer, and it seemed that they were about to fight together.

King Yan was unhappy, his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

This is the court!Not the inner palace!How can you be so presumptuous?

Yan Wangxi jumped up and shouted: "Don't be rude!"

Seeing this, Young Master Qing stopped, snorted coldly, and said lightly: "Since the alliance agreement cannot be changed, please ask the Qin envoy to stay in Jicheng for a few more days, and let Prince Dan enter Qin after the family affairs are settled. "

Chang Wenjun nodded in agreement, and left immediately. King Yan opened his eyes wide with joy, shook his sleeves, and said sternly, "Retire!"

After the court retreated, Chang Wenjun knew that Yan Wangxi had something hard to say, so he went to pay a private visit to Yan Wangxi.

Seeing Lord Changwen enter the palace, King Xi of Yan immediately ordered his servants to hold a banquet to entertain the envoy of Qin, but Lord Changwen politely refused.

After Yan Wangxi pushed the left and right attendants back, Chang Wenjun took out the Qin King's edict from his collar and offered it with both hands.

After Yan Wangxi unfolded slowly, his face instantly turned into a piece of ice. Qin Wang's imperial edict clearly stated the cause and effect of Prince Dan's death of Prince Dan, as well as the attitudes of Yan Wangxi and Prince Qing.

This made King Yan feel chills down his spine. Logically speaking, the distance between Yan and Qin is far away, and the two countries have never communicated. Why is Qin Wangzheng so well-informed about the news.

Yan Wangxi immediately called an attendant, and after whispering a few words, the attendant nodded and said: "I understand!"

Chang Wenjun can also guess about it, naturally he is worried that Yan State has spies from Qin State.

But Lord Changwen didn't panic at all, turned around and said coldly: "I know that King Yan has something to hide. However, I can secretly escort Prince Dan to Qin!"

Yan Wangxi swayed from side to side. He also thought about secretly escorting Prince Dan out of the city, but doing so was just to avoid the problem. Instead, it aroused Gong Ziqing's dissatisfaction. The gap between the two grew wider until a conflict broke out.

Isn't this the result Yan Wangxi wanted to see?

Seeing that Yan Wangxi was indecisive, he must have been worried, Chang Wenjun explained: "In this case, it is better to take the initiative to attack!"

Yan Wangxi became interested, and Chang Wenjun whispered in Yan Wangxi's ear.

The next day, the cock crowed.

The suspension bridge at the north gate of Jicheng rumbled down, and a carriage led fifty cavalry secretly out of the city.

Young Master Qing was keenly aware of the danger, and immediately followed Chang Wenjun after he left.

On the deserted cultivated land north of Jicheng, there is only a bright post road for driving. After seeing Gong Ziqing's army, Chang Wenjun frantically whipped the reins with a whip, and the horseshoes rumbled.

Young Master Qing shouted loudly: "The envoy of Qin secretly hijacked Prince Pill out of the city, kill him!"

The horseshoes of Yan State's war horses are thick, and they can run for thousands of miles without any effort. The speed is [-]% faster than that of Qin State's war horses.

Seeing that he was about to catch up, Chang Wenjun yelled at the people behind him, "Quick!"

Immediately, a hundred iron cavalry charged quickly, throwing up sand and dirt, but it was still difficult to escape Young Master Qing's grasp.

After being caught, Gong Ziqing yelled loudly: "Qin envoy Xiuxiu flees! Give me back Prince Pill!"

Chang Wenjun got out of the carriage, and said with an innocent face: "I didn't take Prince Pill away!"

After Young Master Qing ordered people to get off the horse and search for the carriage, there was still no trace of Prince Pill. Young Master Qing's face was livid, and he was stunned for a few seconds before coldly saying: "Not good!"

The next moment, Yan Wangxi led the remaining three hundred cavalry of the Qin army to catch up, and said coldly: "Young Master Qing, how dare you chase and kill the Qin envoy?"

Young Master Qing shook his head to explain the situation, but Chang Wenjun cried out in pity: "The King of Yan wants to make the decision for me! My Wang Mizhao ordered my ministers to return to Xianyang quickly, but unfortunately, they were hunted down by the Qin army!"

Yan Wangxi and Chang Wenjun sang a double reed, one singing and one chord, which caused the son Qing to be speechless, and the son Qing was charged with intercepting and killing the envoys. According to the laws of the Yan State, he was dismissed from office and his title, and even the fiefdoms were all dismissed.

Young Master Qing no longer had the strength to resist Yan Wang Qing, and could only watch helplessly as Young Master Dan was safely escorted to Qin State.

And Chang Wenjun also hurried to Xianyang to inform Qin Wangzheng of the news.
