Chapter 93 The curtain opens
He was wearing a light yellow short-sleeved shirt, a white shirt with blue edges, his arms were exposed, and he had wrist guards on both arms. He had a handsome face and an indifferent expression!
Tianxuan knew that whether Zhengge was another time traveler as he had guessed, Jing Ke's assassination of Qin would not succeed today. However, Tianxuan could not help but be somewhat curious about the legendary figure who had gone down in history for assassinating the First Emperor and even surpassed Nie Zheng, Yao Li, and Zhuan Zhu to become the most famous assassin in history.

As Jing Ke continued to walk towards the center of the hall, Tianxuan's eyes were filled with curiosity and fell on Jing Ke who was holding his head high. He was about to die, but there was no fear on Jing Ke's face or in his eyes. For a moment, Tianxuan almost doubted whether Jing Ke was here to assassinate Zheng Ge or to go on a picnic.
[Jing Ke's psychological quality is quite good, he is indeed a character! ]

Tianxuan looked back into his eyes and commented secretly.

Brush and pull!

Zheng Ge, sitting on the throne, looked down at Jing Ke who was walking towards him, without the slightest emotion on his face, as if he had known for a long time that Jing Ke was coming to assassinate him, but was just summoning an envoy in a very ordinary way.

"Jing Ke, the envoy of Yan State, and his deputy Qin Wuyang, come to see His Majesty."

There was a set of complicated etiquette for foreign ministers to meet with the king of another country. Once this set of etiquette was violated, the warriors in the palace could step forward without hesitation and kill them as assassins. When Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang were thirty steps below the king's steps where Zheng Ge was, they stopped and saluted Zheng Ge on the throne.

Bang!
The head hit the scarlet carpeted floor with a deep thud.

"No need to pay tribute."

Seeing his love rival kowtowing at his feet, the usually serious Zheng Ge raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a rare hint of pride in his tone, and gave the order.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang had no interest in paying respects to Zheng Ge for a long time. Before Zheng Ge finished speaking, they stood up at the same time. Their eyes met, and a fierce look appeared in their eyes.

"In order to seek friendly relations, Yan State is willing to present the head of Qin's rebel general Fan Yuqi to Your Majesty, and then cede Yan's Du Kang to Your Majesty. Please accept it!" Jing Ke stood up and mechanically repeated the words he had already thought of.

"Someone, bring over Fan Yuqi's head!"

In the past, Zheng Ge's half-brother, Chang'an Jun Cheng Jiao, started a rebellion based on Zheng Ge's life experience. It is true that Cheng Jiao's rebellion was quickly suppressed, and Cheng Jiao himself died at the hands of Luowang assassins. However, Fan Yuqi, the rebel general who started the rebellion with Cheng Jiao and fled after the defeat, has always been a thorn in Zheng Ge's heart.

creak!

Zhao Gao came forward like a ghost, took the box held by Qin Wuyang, and put it on Zhengge's dragon table. With a crisp sound, the lid opened, revealing a well-preserved head wrapped in quicklime.

"Pass on my order, grind Fan Yuqi's head to dust." Zheng Ge only glanced inside the box and saw that it was indeed Fan Yuqi's head. After he had solved his problem, he was still filled with resentment and said angrily, "This is the fate of betraying me and the Qin Dynasty!"

Hearing that Zheng Ge would not even let go of Fan Yuqi's head, all the civil and military officials in the hall were horrified, as if a cold wind was whistling around them, and everyone was frightened.

"Here."

Zhao Gao took the order, picked up the box in front of Zheng Ge, and retreated like a ghost.

"Show me the map of Yan State's Du Kang."

After ordering his men to crush Fan Yuqi's head to dust, Zheng Ge's eyes fell on Jing Ke. For a moment, Jing Ke felt like a mouse being stared at by an old cat. No matter how hard he struggled, he was powerless to escape the cat's claws. [Ying Zheng, do you think you are a giant cat and me a tiny mouse? Today, I, a mouse, will kill you, a giant cat! ]

Finally, the last moment came, and Jing Ke suppressed the waves of emotion in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the terrain of Dukang is complicated. Please allow me to come forward and explain it to Your Majesty?"

"Can!"

Zheng Ge naturally knew what Jing Ke was up to, but he didn't care. Because, in front of Zheng Ge, the descendant of Guiguzi, Gai Nie, was standing like a sculpture, holding a sheathed sword. On Zheng Ge's waist hung the famous Chu sword, Tianwen, which he could draw at any time.

Thirteen lines of defense were set up inside and outside the hall. As long as Zheng Ge gave a call, seven masters of the Lihe realm and fifty-six warriors of the Kaiyuan realm would appear.

Facing Jing Ke's pleading eyes, Zheng Ge accepted his request.

Nearly a hundred years ago, the State of Yan suffered from the Zizhi Rebellion and its national power declined greatly. In order to revive the State of Yan, the successor King Zhao of Yan recruited talents from all over the world, led by Yue Yi. Yue Yi led the coalition forces of five countries to attack Qi, forcing Qi to the point of near destruction. In addition to Yue Yi's outstanding military talent and the support of a wise ruler like King Zhao of Yan, the role played by Du Kang, the most fertile land in the State of Yan, should not be underestimated.

It is no exaggeration to say that Dukang is the most essential part of Yan State. Once Dukang is ceded, Yan State will only be left with the bitter cold land of Liaodong, existing in name only, just like the Wei State today. If King Xi of Yan and his son Yan Dan sincerely ceded Dukang, then Zheng Ge could have given Yan State a break and let it survive in the bitter cold of Liaodong.

【The real purpose is finally revealed! 】

Thanks to Prince Fusu, Tianxuan was able to stand in a position close to Zhengge. He saw Jing Ke, with Zhengge's deliberate indulgence, holding the Du Kang map which contained the dragon-slaying sword - Canhong, and walking towards Zhengge on the throne. He knew that the scene that would go down in history was about to appear before him, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

tread!tread!tread!
Jing Ke, holding the rolled-up Du Kang map, stepped onto the platform step by step under the worried gaze of his old friend Gai Nie standing in front of Zheng Ge. Every step he took was particularly loud and clear against the empty environment. It was only a distance of thirty steps, but in Jing Ke's cognition, every step he took was like a lifetime.

The distance of thirty steps, like the cycle of life and death in the Honghuang storybook written by Tian Xuanzi, happened thirty times to Jing Ke.

…………

At the same time, in the harem of Zhangtai Palace.

"Well!"

Zheng Ge's favorite concubine, Lady Li Ji, tried to run out with her slender and tall body, and her cold and delicate face was filled with worry and fear from the bottom of her heart. However, her body was imprisoned and she could not move at all. Only drops of heart-breaking tears kept flowing from her eyes.

After struggling for a long time, Li Ji was still unable to break free from the restraints and could only let out a painful moan from her mouth.

"Madam Li Ji, don't waste your energy." The noble and elegant Moon Goddess with three thousand long light purple hair came to Li Ji's bedroom on the orders of Brother Zheng.
