Chapter 494: Chapter 210: Jing Ke Attempts to Assassinate Qin! Zhao Feng Shocks the Grand Hall with One Sword!
Hearing that the State of Yan presented the Carriage Map of the Duchang Territory.
The ministers in the court all wore expressions of shock.
"The Duchang Territory, the granary of Yan."
"This is the granary second only to our Qin’s Guanzhong and the Shu Region."
"The Duchang Territory is extremely important, it is the foundation of the State of Yan. To hand over this map to our Qin is equivalent to handing over the Duchang Territory itself. If our Qin wishes to wage war against Yan, the Duchang Territory would become defenseless."
"Why would the King of Yan do this?"
"Could it really be that he’s worried our Qin will attack his State of Yan, hence this move?"
"It seems that Yan is truly afraid of our Qin."
"If this continues."
"Yan won’t be a concern anymore."
Seeing the envoy from Yan offering up their most important Duchang Territory, many ministers in the court were stunned.
Obviously, the move by Yan bewildered them.
"The King of Yan is thoughtful."
"Willing to give up the Carriage Map of the Duchang Territory."
"With such goodwill from the King of Yan, how could I refuse?"
"Present it."
"I also wish to have a good look at this Duchang Territory." Ying Zheng waved his hand.
Zhao Gao was ready to step down.
But below, Qin Wuyang and Jing Ke felt a chill in their hearts.
"Great King."
"The Duchang Territory requires specialized explanation."
"External envoy deputy Jing Ke is willing to interpret for the Great King."
"Besides."
"Our State of Yan has another grand gift for the Great King."
Perhaps fearing rejection from the King of Qin, Qin Wuyang quickly added.
With a wave of his hand.
Jing Ke immediately stepped forward slowly.
And held up a box.
"What is this?" Ying Zheng asked slowly.
"The head of Fan Yuqi, a long-hunted rebel of Qin for many years."
Qin Wuyang lifted his head, speaking almost word by word.
With those words.
Everyone’s faces were filled with shock.
Even the expression of Ying Zheng on the high seat changed.
"Fan Yuqi’s head?"
"You’re saying it’s Fan Yuqi!"
Ying Zheng’s tone carried a chilling intent to kill.
The entire hall seemed shrouded in a terrifying murderous aura.
Majesty enveloped them.
"To the King of Qin."
"It is indeed Fan Yuqi."
"This is the head of Fan Yuqi."
Jing Ke responded loudly.
Then he walked forward holding the box.
But Zhao Gao immediately walked down the steps, holding out both hands to signal Jing Ke to hand over the box.
Seeing this.
Jing Ke felt disappointed in his heart.
But surrounded by so many eyes, and still some distance from the King of Qin, he had no chance.
So, he could only hand the brocade box to Zhao Gao.
However, the Carriage Map of the Duchang Territory was still in Jing Ke’s hands.
The dagger was hidden inside this map.
Zhao Gao picked up the box, slowly walked up to Ying Zheng, and placed the box on the table.
Ying Zheng’s eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze resting on the box, his face showing excitement and anticipation.
He slowly opened the box.
A bloody head came into Ying Zheng’s view.
In front of this person.
Ying Zheng could never forget.
"Fan Yuqi."
"You finally died."
"Once you almost killed Efang."
"Now you still died before me."
Ying Zheng coldly stared.
But his eyes carried a trace of regret, perhaps because Fan Yuqi wasn’t captured alive.
"Throw this head into the Mass Burial Mound, feed the dogs."
Ying Zheng said coldly.
Zhao Gao immediately picked up the box, and an Imperial Guard Army stepped forward to receive it.
And at this moment!
Ying Zheng looked at Qin Wuyang and Jing Ke with a bit more warmth in his gaze.
"This grand gift from Yan."
"I have accepted."
Ying Zheng said slowly.
Seeing this from Ying Zheng, and feeling the change in his attitude, Qin Wuyang and Jing Ke felt joy in their hearts.
They also knew their opportunity had come.
"Great King."
"I hold the Carriage Map of the Duchang Territory in my hands."
"Today I meet the King, could I personally introduce the scenery of the Duchang Territory to the King of Qin?"
Jing Ke knelt down, holding up the brocade box with the map, looking hopeful and expectant.
"This envoy from Yan is truly humble."
"Offering their most important Duchang Territory and still humbly pleading for an introduction."
"It seems the State of Yan truly fears our Qin as if facing a fierce tiger."
"Perhaps it’s possible to take over the State of Yan without raising arms, just by persuading them to surrender."
"This might really be feasible..."
Seeing Jing Ke as a nation’s envoy kneeling and begging so humbly.
While the ministers in the court expressed disdain, they also felt that conquering Yan would be even easier.
They understood the heart of Ying Zheng, and were clear on the current situation.
No matter how Yan shows weakness or humility, it can’t change the ambition of today’s Great King.
Nor can it alter Qin’s resolve to sweep across the world.
To conquer various countries and unite the realm.
This is the long-cherished wish of the Old Qin People, a legendary achievement that would be remembered for ages.
Who among the entire court of civil and military officials wouldn’t want to be a participant?
Of course.
Regarding Jing Ke’s humility, and Yan’s humility.
No one in the court suspected him of having other intentions, after all, the national power of Qin was here, and this place was inside the safest royal palace of Qin.
Who would dare to act recklessly?
"I also want to see this Carriage Map of the Duchang Territory."
"Come over."
Seeing Fan Yuqi’s head, Ying Zheng was very pleased at this moment.
He immediately waved at Jing Ke.
Upon hearing this.
Jing Ke’s face showed an expression of extreme excitement.
But inside the hall, Qin Wuyang was anxiously watching.
"You must succeed, if you fail, not only will we die, but Yan will also perish."
"Crown Prince."
"You considered the outcome of success, but never the consequences of failure."
"If this fails, our Yan is truly doomed."
Qin Wuyang was filled with immense fear at this moment.
He hoped Jing Ke could succeed, so that even if he died, he could be without regrets, and even in death, he would become a hero of the entire State of Yan.
