A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"No!"

Jing Ke just stretched out his hand to refuse, but Yan Dan quickly waved his hand and said

"It's just a horse. If Lord Jing wants to eat its liver, why not?"

Yan Dan looked at his mount and still said

"Pull it down, kill it and take the liver for Master Jing to enjoy!!"

Jing Ke was naturally moved when he saw that Yan Dan was so humble and lowly in order for him to take over the task of assassinating Qin. He had been testing and observing Yan Dan for the past few days, just to know whether the prince in front of him was worth it. Kill yourself.

He was silent, watching the horse being pulled down, then raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and finally said

"Prince, we, the common people, are so lucky to have you take such great care of us. Seeing that you care so much about the people of the world, if I reject you again, I will feel uneasy..."

"You, you finally agreed?"

Yan Dan suddenly burst into tears. After these days of hard work, she finally got the result she wanted.

"Are you willing to take this risky step for me, for the people of Yan State, and for the sake of all the people in the world?"

"Um……"

Jing Ke nodded.

"Even if I die, having the prince love me so lovingly during my lifetime will make my death worth it!"

The two hit it off immediately, and then the plan to assassinate Qin began to be prepared in full swing.

Yan Dan, Jing Ke, and Ju Wu thought of many plans to assassinate Qin, but they were all rejected by Yan Dan. He was the person who knew Ying Zheng best, so he naturally knew what Ying Zheng wanted most!

Finally, Jing Ke came up with a plan and got Yan Dan's approval.

"I know that Ying Zheng is not a womanizer, so the prince's use of beauty to seduce him at the beginning must have made a mistake. As an ambitious tyrant like him, he naturally wants the territory of the world. Since he wants the six kingdoms Territory, why don’t we offer it with both hands?”

"This...you're not asking me to cede Yan's territory to him, are you? I will never agree to this!"

Yan Dan immediately refused after hearing this.

"How can I ask the prince to really cede the land to him!"

Jing Ke smiled and replied confidently

"We pretended that we were frightened by the strength of the Qin army. We knew that the Yan state was weak and could not compete with the Qin army. For the sake of the overall situation, we took the initiative to offer several cities of the Yan state to show our loyalty. Then..."

Jing Ke smiled a little cunningly

"The dagger was hidden in the scroll depicting the city of Yan State. When I came forward to present the map to Ying Zheng, when he was looking carefully at the map of Yan State, I took advantage of his distraction and killed him with one knife!"

Yan Dan and Ju Wu looked at each other after hearing this, and Ju Wu even shook his head and said

"Isn't this move too dangerous? If it's slightly wrong, it won't be effective! Besides... there are hundreds of civil and military officials standing in a room, how are you going to assassinate them in full view of everyone?"

Jing Ke smiled and continued to respond.

"Only in the public eye can he have a chance to succeed! Ying Zheng never imagined that a small envoy from the Yan Kingdom would dare to assassinate in public."

Yan Dan listened carefully and finally nodded in agreement.

"This method is feasible. Although it is risky, the chance of winning is high! If your assassination fails, I can ask my informants in the Qin Palace to help you again!"

"You mean the concubine who is a beloved wife? Why does the prince think she will help us again?"

Jing Ke asked

"She will definitely help us. She and Ying Zheng have a blood feud. If I tell her that there is a chance to kill Ying Zheng, how could she not be moved?"

Yan Dan looked at Jing Ke

"This is a double-layered guarantee. Even if your assassination fails, she will give Ying Zheng another fatal blow in the dark. Even if Ying Zheng gains wings, he will not escape death!"

The three of them negotiated and finally formulated this plan. After thinking hard, Yan Dan said

"It is really difficult to kill Ying Zheng just by using a dagger. I will find a poison master. We will apply a layer of poison on the dagger and let him seal his throat when he sees blood. There will be no chance of survival!"

"We still lack one thing."

Jing Ke looked at Yan Dan with a smile

"I lack something that can make King Qin completely convinced of me."

"What?"

Yan Dan asked

Jing Ke clasped his hands in front of his chest, it was inevitable

"I heard that there was a general who fled from the Qin State to the Yan State. The King of Qin hated him to the core and offered thousands of gold as a reward for his head, but no one did it. This man... is still alive in the Yan State..."

"You mean... Fan Yuqi?"

Yan Dan asked.

"Yes! This is King Qin's old enemy. If I offer his head along with the city of Yan State, then King Qin will definitely trust me! There will never be any doubt."

"You asked me to kill Fan Yuqi? But... he has never done anything wrong in the Yan Kingdom for many years, and he is loyal to me. You tell me to kill him for no reason. It is really difficult for me to do it."

Jing Ke seemed to have guessed that Yan Dan couldn't bear it, so he didn't try to persuade him, but asked

"Can you tell me where Fan Yuqi's family is? I have never seen this general, but now I want to meet him..."

Now that he has decided to do something, he must be prepared to do everything possible. In order to repay Yan Dan's respect, Jing Ke naturally has to risk everything.

He found Fan Yuqi's home and expressed his intention of coming without saying a few polite words.

"General Fan was very loyal and sacrificed his life for the Qin State. But now his family has been slaughtered. He also spent thousands of pounds of gold and granted thousands of households to buy the general's head. What is the general going to do? He has been hiding in the Yan State. Forever?"

Speaking of this, the old general burst into tears, shook his head and sighed.

"Ying Zheng slaughtered my whole Fan family. I dare not forget this hatred even in my dreams. It's just that my wish has not been fulfilled for many years. I am really powerless!!"

Jing Ke saw him crying sadly and said again

"Now you have an excellent opportunity for revenge. It depends on whether General Fan is willing to help me!"

"What is the opportunity?"

Fan Yuqi wiped his tears and asked

"I want to borrow the general's head!"

Jing Ke smiled at Fan Yuqi's shocked expression and slowly explained

"I have been favored by Prince Yan, and now I am ready to sacrifice my life. I plan to go to Qin to meet Ying Zheng, pretending to offer the Yan Kingdom's city, but actually to assassinate him! But... if I go to Qin with only the map, Keep him on guard, if... I take General Fan's head with me, then Ying Zheng will definitely not suspect it!"

This young man said such terrible words as soon as he entered the house. The old Fan Yuqi was still confused. Jing Ke said again

"In order to repay the favor of the prince, I am determined to sacrifice myself. I wonder if General Fan... can help me!"

Although Fan Yuqi is old, his energy and blood are still there. When he heard that he could kill Ying Zheng, he naturally agreed!

"If my head can make the prince's plan succeed, it will not only save the Yan Kingdom, but also avenge the entire Fan family! It's just a head on my neck, I am willing to give it to you!"
