Chapter 97 A Great Achievement

clang!
Zheng Ge used the excuse of "Jing Ke's assassination of Qin" to order the veteran general Wang Jian to lead Xin Sheng, Li Xin and others to attack the State of Yan. The left prime minister Wang Wan and the imperial censor Feng Quji were responsible for logistics, while Gongshu Chou, the chief craftsman, the current head of the Gongshu family and the descendant of Lu Ban, was responsible for preparing weapons for the army.

A series of orders came out of Zheng Ge's mouth at a rapid speed, ordering the Qin State, a war tool created by Shang Yang's reform, to be mobilized. It made people wonder whether he had prepared the plan to attack Yan State in his mind a few days ago and just said it out loud now.

Although, in fact, it is true.

After assigning the tasks of attacking the State of Yan, Zheng Ge rolled up the Du Kang map in front of him and ordered Zhao Gao to give it to the commander-in-chief of the army, Wang Jian. With the Du Kang map in hand, it would be much easier to attack the State of Yan. After doing all this, Zheng Ge's attention fell on the dragon-slaying sword in front of him that almost killed him, the Canhong Sword.

The short sword, which was more than a foot long, was tapped lightly by Zheng Ge's fingers, making a crisp sound. A cluster of inky black flames flashed on the sword.

"This sword is too fierce and ominous." Although he only touched the back of the sword, it still caused Zheng Ge a slight pain. He frowned and said, "Mix the five metals and recast it."

Halfway through his words, Zheng Ge's gaze fell on Gai Nie, who was standing in front of him with empty hands.

"Gai Nie, you have done a great job in protecting the emperor. Once this sword is recast, I will give it to you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Everyone who protects the emperor will be promoted one level and rewarded with 100 taels of silver."

The reforged Canhong Sword was given to Gai Nie who had lost his weapon, and Zheng Ge remembered the other people who participated in protecting the emperor and gave them rewards.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live forever!"

Everyone, including Tianxuan, was overjoyed at Zhengge's reward and bowed down.

…………

"Prince Dan of Yan, you are so brave!"

"Who does Yan Dan think he is? King Helu of Wu?"

"It's really life-and-death."

……

After the court meeting, the civil and military officials of Qin successively left the palace where blood had just been seen. After leaving the palace, many officials recalled the assassination that had happened before their eyes. They were still in shock and gathered in groups of three or five to criticize Jing Ke, Qin Wuyang, and even the father and son of Yan Wangxi and Yan Prince Dan for not knowing how to live or die.

call!
Tianxuan was also in the crowd. As a meritorious official who had made great contributions to the emperor's protection, his rank was promoted by Zhengge, from the fourth rank to the fifth rank of doctor. Thinking of what he had just witnessed, although it happened quickly, it ended even faster. It was no exaggeration to describe it as "thrilling". The "Jing Ke Assassinating Qin" that went down in history, Tianxuan's emotions were complicated and he exhaled heavily.

"Hehehe."

Suddenly, a hoarse and sharp laughter fell into Tianxuan's ears. The shrill laughter reminded Tianxuan of the cry of an owl, and he looked over subconsciously. He saw the left hand of the Chief Craftsman of the Ministry of Works, Gongshu, whose feet were also made of bronze under the loose official uniform, with sharp claws visible.

Whether it is the non-aggression mechanical arts of the Mohist school or the domineering mechanical arts of the Gongshu school, they are indeed exquisite, but also very dangerous. In order to practice the domineering mechanical arts, Gongshu Chou lost his left arm and both legs, and could only use bronze mechanical hands and feet as replacements. In Gongshu Chou's hand, he holds the dragon-slaying sword - Canhong.

Brother Zheng ordered the sword to be recast, and it looked like Gongshu Chou was going to do it himself. "Master Gongshu."

When he saw Gongshu Chou, Tianxuan suddenly remembered something and called out to Gongshu Chou from a few feet away.

"Master Tianxuanzi, what's the matter?"

The dragon-slaying sword, Canhong, was made by the mother of Master Xu, the leader of the Mohist casting department. As a professional, Gongshu Chou looked at the Canhong sword for a while and found many traces of Mohist casting techniques. Gongshu Chou had a feeling that if he studied this sword carefully, he would be able to take his domineering mechanical arts to a higher level. His heart surged and he laughed like an owl in the night.

When Tianxuan's voice came, Gongshu Chou came back to his senses and saw Tianxuan walking towards him.

Although Gongshu Chou's official rank was much higher than Tianxuan's, Gongshu Chou did not dare to act like a superior in front of Tianxuan. He lowered his Canhong sword and asked in a friendly manner.

Tian Xuan stared at Gongshu Chou and said lightly: "Master Gongshu, I have a great achievement that I want to share with you. What do you think?"

"Great contribution?" Hearing Tianxuan say this, Gongshu Chou became interested, "Master Tianxuan, what kind of great contribution is it? Moreover, since it is a great contribution, why do you want to share it with me? Isn't it better to keep it all for yourself? Unless you have something to borrow from my mechanical skills!"

"Smart!" Gongshu Chou understood what he meant when he saw that he had just made a beginning. Tianxuan snapped his fingers and praised.

"You two, do you need my help?"

Prince Fusu witnessed an assassination attempt on his father, Qin Wang Zheng, and was overwhelmed. After leaving the court, Fusu stayed in the palace for a while, comforting and worrying about Zheng as a son.

When Fusu left the palace, most of the civil and military officials had disappeared on the white marble square in front of the palace. Tianxuan and Gongshuchou, an old man and a young man, gathered together and whispered. Fusu remembered that Tianxuan and Gongshuchou were unable to move around easily, so he wanted to invite them to ride in the same carriage with him. Unexpectedly, when he came over, he heard these words.

When Tianxuan heard Fusu's words, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Fusu, the first crown prince in the history of China and the person he had initially bet on in the pre-Qin era.

"Sir, it would be great if you are willing to help."

After staring at Fusu for a moment, Tianxuan withdrew his gaze and said as if nothing had happened.

[Prince Fusu, let me use this great achievement to test whether you are a wise leader? ]

"The eldest son."

Gongshu Chou also lowered his head, which was shaped like a salted duck egg and had no hair due to physical injuries, to show his respect for Fusu.

Some things are not suitable to be said here. With the addition of Prince Fusu, Tianxuan, Gongshuchou, and Fusu walked side by side out of the palace. The Qin Palace guards they saw along the way were all glaring with anger and murderous intent. It was obvious that although the assassination was unsuccessful, it still brought a lot of excitement to these guards.

When the group was only a hundred feet away from the palace gate, a light and pleasant body fragrance, as cool as the moonlight, suddenly wafted into their mouths and noses. Tianxuan looked up and saw the guardian of the Yin-Yang family, the Moon Goddess, a noble and elegant, purple-haired and peerless beauty.

Swish!
When Tianxuan looked at Yueshen, Yueshen also noticed him. She lowered her head slightly and looked at her little fiancé.

"Tian Xuanzi, Lord Donghuang asked me to tell you. Come to the Yin Yang family's base in a few days! Some promises have come to be fulfilled!" The Moon Goddess retracted her gaze, left a few words calmly, and left.
