When people were in Qin, they ruled the world

Chapter 392 Death and Rebirth

In the tranquility of Xianyang, another city, Jicheng, also recovered its tranquility.

The last embers of the fire in Yanwang Palace were also burned out. Fortunately, the Qin army invaded Yanwang Palace in time and blocked the spread of the fire in the first place. Therefore, in this fire, only Yanwangxi and The main hall where his relatives lived was burned down, but the other palaces were preserved intact.

If this is not the case, Qin will suffer a great loss in the fire in Yan Palace.

In front of another ruin in Jicheng, Qin Army Chief General Li Mu stopped and looked at it. The ruin in front of him was the former Prince's Mansion.

It's a pity that only the remains of the flames are left in this mansion at this time.

"General, a total of thirty-two corpses were dug up from the ruins, and one of them had the seal of Yandan on his body, which should be Yandan himself." A soldier covered in pitch black came out of the ruins and reported to Li Mu.

"Besides, is there any other place to verify the identity of the corpse?" Li Mu asked.

As the chief culprit of the assassination incident, Yan Dan's life is more important than Yan Wangxi's life to a certain extent. If Yan is allowed to escape, then the battle to destroy Yan will no longer be perfect.

"No." The soldier shook his head.

"If it's just that, it can't be concluded that Yan Dan is dead." Li Mu pondered.

At this moment, a rider came from the east.

The soldiers came twenty steps away from Li Mu, jumped off their horses, and then quickly walked towards Li Mu.

"General, Yan Dan is dead." The soldier took out a map from his pocket and handed it to Li Mu.

Li Mu found the map, opened it, and saw the route from Jicheng to the Jibei area of ​​Qi State drawn on it.

"What's going on specifically?" Li Mu didn't look surprised by the news brought by the soldiers, but asked calmly.

"When we were suppressing the resistance forces in Nancheng, we accidentally discovered a house where Mohist disciples gathered. After we entered, we found Yandan. After a fierce battle, we shot and killed Yandan and the resisting Mohist disciples with a crossbow. , This is the map found on Yan Dan." The soldier said.

"Why do you conclude that that person is Yan Dan?" Li Mu asked.

"General, Yandan is a military order issued by the king himself. How can we play games? After shooting Yandan, we found a minister of the Yan Kingdom who had been allowed to enter and leave the Yan Palace, and asked him to personally verify that person. Whether it is really Yan Dan or not, the answer is yes," said the soldier.

"This is too much of a coincidence." Li Mu pondered.

I was wondering if the corpse dug up from the ruins was Yandan himself, but on the other side, I got another more authentic Yandan corpse. The coincidence revealed during this period made Li Mu instinctively produce a kind of doubt.

The body of Yandan in the ruins may be fake, so why not the other one.

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Li Mu couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Because Yan Dan is related to the writing submitted to the Xianyang Palace Military News, if there is any deception in it, the consequences will be serious.

"General, we can find some people to confirm." The soldier said.

To Li Mu, Yan Dan may not be a big deal, after all, in the battle to destroy Yan, Li Mu should be the first to contribute, so he may not be able to see the credit of Yan Dan's head.

But for Li Mu, it's just a little bit of credit. For ordinary soldiers, it is indeed a way to reach the sky. If you have this military merit, no matter whether it is a title or a military position, it is enough to make these soldiers who participated in the siege of Yandan entrust civilians His identity is precisely to enter the military officer system of the Qin State, which is a major event that can affect the future of the entire family and clan.

Under such circumstances, no one hopes that Yan Dan is true more than this soldier.

"Yes." Li Mu said.

However, although Li Mu said so, the doubt in his heart never dissipated.

In a small courtyard in Jicheng, Gao Jianli listened expressionlessly to the sound of footsteps passing by on the street outside the courtyard and the friction sound caused by the running armor.

He knew that the country of Yan was over.

At this time, in his heart, there was not much fluctuation, because before Yan State fell, his best friend had already died in Qin State. Under that blow, the matter of Yan State's subjugation is now, for him, Still within the acceptable range.

"Xiao Gao, what are your plans next?" Amid Gao Jianli's silence, a woman with her hands folded in her sleeves came out of the room.

This is a young and beautiful woman, but the clothes on her body seem to be ill-fitting, because the sleeves seem to be a little too long.

"I am a homeless person, and I will be homeless in the future. What kind of plans can a person without a home and country have?" Gao Jianli said with a wry smile, "But Mrs. Sister, if you have no other plans, you should stay here. Such things as national enmity and family hatred are not something a woman should provoke."

"National hatred and family hatred? If I say that I have no national hatred and family hatred, will you look down on me?" The woman hesitated for a while.

This woman who Gao Jianli became Mrs.-in-law was exactly the maid that Jing Ke begged from Yan Dan back then. Her clothes at this time were not inappropriate. There was nothing wrong with her clothes. The problem was her body. After Yan Dan was cut off, no matter what clothes she was wearing, the sleeves would look a bit long.

Moreover, she will deliberately buy some clothes with relatively long sleeves to cover her handless wrists.

She didn't want others to see her disability, which was a great cruelty for a woman.

In Gao Jianli's silence, the woman said: "I was sold by my family when I was young. I was very young at that time, and I really don't remember my parents. Moreover, even if I do remember, I probably have more grievances. As for Guo, to be honest, for me, I don’t know what a country is, I only know that Yandan and the others are Yan Guo, but, for them, do you think I will be sad for what happened to them now? ?”

While the woman was speaking, she stretched out her wrist from her sleeve. The wound that was once healed, but the lost thing could never grow back.

If someone else said these words, Gao Jianli would definitely refute them, but the woman in front of him said these things, but Gao Jianli couldn't say anything.

Because Gao Jianli knew that the misfortune of the woman in front of him was caused by Yan Dan and Jing Ke, he really had no reason to criticize what the woman said just now.

"Maybe the national feud is really too far away, and only family is what can be truly felt." Gao Jianli pondered.

Hearing Gao Jianli's words, the woman's face brightened, and she asked: "Then do you want to stay?"

"Well, I will stay. Brother Jing's blood, I will take good care of him. This is probably the only thing I can do for Brother Jing now." Gao Jianli said.

"Really?" Gao Jianli only answered Gao Jianli's inexplicable words from a woman, and he didn't know who he was asking.
