A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 300 Jing Ke stabs King Huaihuai around the pillar
The city of Jinyang was destroyed, King Zhao was captured, and the state of Zhao was overthrown.The demise of Zhao made all the princes in the world panic, but by this time it was already too late.

The demise of Zhao State directly blocked the connection between Yan State and Qin State.Even the alliance between Qin and Yan is of no use.More importantly, with the demise of the three vassal states that divided Jin in the past, the world was shocked.

The demise of the Jin State had a great influence. You must know that for a long time, the Jin State was the most powerful country in the world. At that time, it dominated the world with the power of one country.It can be said that the only vassal state in the Spring and Autumn Period that could compete with the Huai State.

Now that the Jin State has perished, the Huai State, which occupied the Jin State, now occupies [-]% of the land in the world.Bashu is thousands of miles away, the Hanjiang Plain in Nanyang is fertile, and the Huaihe Plain is the world's granary.

Yan, Qi, and Qin have all been surrounded by Huai, and their destruction is only a matter of time.

In the Yan Kingdom, ever since he learned of the demise of the Zhao Kingdom, King Yan has completely lost his energy and spirit. He no longer has anything to do with national affairs and lives in a state of intoxication every day.

Prince Dan of Yan repeatedly remonstrated, but the King of Yan ignored him.On this day, King Yan was drinking and having fun in the hall again. Prince Dan rushed in and drove all the singers away.

"Father, the State of Zhao has been destroyed, and the three kingdoms of Yan, Qi, and Qin are the only ones left in the world. If we don't unite, we will be destroyed by the State of Huai sooner or later. Why are you still dreaming and dying, and don't care about this?" Prince Dan said sadly.

King Yan drunkenly looked up at him, grinned and said: "Care? How to care? Unless King Wu is resurrected and King Huai is stupid and absurd, there is no chance, burp."

"It's better to enjoy it while you still have time, burp. It won't be a loss then."

"Father, how could you have such an idea?" Prince Dan was shocked.

"Since you want to do it, then I'll leave it all to you." King Yan waved his hand and wrote an edict. He was unwell and needed training for Prince Dan to preside over state affairs.

Prince Dan also seemed to be in a dream, gaining power in the Yan Kingdom so easily.

But after he took control of the Yan State, he discovered that things were not as simple as he thought, and he had no good way to face the Huai State.After much deliberation, Prince Dan finally decided to use the most effective and direct method and send an assassin to assassinate King Huai.

There was a man named Jing Ke among the disciples of Prince Dan, who had extraordinary martial arts and extraordinary courage. Prince Dan invited him to talk about the affairs of the Huai Kingdom. Jing Ke immediately said: "I have received great kindness from the Prince and I have nothing to repay. I only have martial arts and am willing to sacrifice myself." Give your life to help the prince assassinate King Luo of Huai."

"Thank you brave man!" Prince Dan immediately paid homage to Jing Ke and promised to hide Jing Ke's family and take care of them on his behalf.

"Prince, it is not easy to meet Prince Huai. I wonder if the prince can do anything?"

"Don't worry, I will present the topographic map of the Yan Kingdom in the name of surrender. You will be the envoy of the Yan Kingdom. Then you can approach King Huai. As for the rest, it depends on you!" Prince Dan said.

Jing Ke: "I'll get ready right now!"

King Yan learned about Prince Dan's actions and did not intervene. He just said: "No matter whether this plan succeeds or fails, Yan State will be at odds with Huai State. Then a disaster will be imminent. I will not live long. You can figure it out yourself."

Prince Dan thought for a moment, then handed his youngest son to a confidant, and then asked him to take his son and leave Yan State incognito.

After annexing Zhao State, Wang Luo was very happy. At this time, Yan State suddenly sent an envoy to express that Yan State was willing to surrender.

"Your Majesty is powerful in the world, the Holy King of Derby, King Yan admires your reputation and is willing to surrender. Your Majesty is your destiny!"

"The great king Wei is in the world, the holy king of Derby, where destiny belongs!" "The great king Wei is in the world, the holy king of Derby, where destiny is!"

"Hahaha, please let me be saved!" King Luo of Huai was so satisfied that he destroyed Wei and Zhao, forced Yan to surrender, and then unified all the Xia. Even his calm temperament couldn't bear it. Stay excited.

Soon the envoy from the State of Yan came to Jinling all the way. After some etiquette training and inspection, Jing Ke came to see him with the map of the State of Yan.

Wang Luo attached great importance to Jing Ke's audience and specially arranged a large court meeting to give the Yan State enough face.Qianyuan Hall, Jing Ke was quickly led by the chamberlain to the main hall.After bowing respectfully, the chamberlain stepped forward to take the map of Kanyu from Jing Ke's hand and deliver it to Wang Luo.

"Your Majesty, I admire your Majesty's heavenly power, and please allow me to come forward and deliver the map of Kantu to your Majesty in person, so that I can admire the beauty of the sky." Jing Ke passed by the chamberlain and said respectfully.

When the officials of the Huai Kingdom in the main hall heard Jing Ke's words, they all looked at him in surprise.This envoy from Yan State didn't even care about the dignity of the country, but he could be so shameless.

Jing Ke ignored these glances and still respectfully saluted King Luo of Huai.Wang Luo laughed loudly, stood up immediately and said, "Okay, I will give you this opportunity."

Jing Ke was overjoyed and said thank you to the king. Then, under the leadership of his chamberlain, he came to Huai Wang Luo with the map of the state of Yan.Jing Ke grabbed the scroll and unfolded the drawing, and a detailed map appeared in front of him.

After seeing the drawings, Wang Luo was very happy and was about to praise Jing Ke a few words. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his head, he saw a bit of metallic luster coming from the scroll.Wang Luo's expression changed, and he subconsciously shouted: "Come here, take him down!"

Upon hearing the shout, Jing Ke immediately grabbed the scroll, a short sword appeared instantly, and stabbed Wang Luo.Unfortunately, Wang Luo was already prepared and dodged in a flash.

Because of the bonus of China's top ten divine swords, the Wang family's direct lineage's military strength is not low. Even if Wang Luo has not been specially trained, his military strength can reach eighty. If placed in a military camp, he will be equal to ten people.Although caught off guard, the reaction was still very quick.

Wang Luo dodged and circled behind a pillar. Jing Ke pursued him, but there was a pillar blocking him and he could not catch up with Wang Luo.At this time, the ministers of Huai Kingdom also reacted and shouted: "The king draws his sword, the king draws his sword!"

Only then did Wang Luo react, thinking that he also had a weapon, and he immediately pulled out the sword from his waist. This sword was none other than Long Yuan, one of the top ten divine swords. It was extremely sharp.Wang Luo turned around and slashed.

A flash of sword light flashed, and then a scream was heard.Blood flew everywhere, one arm fell to the ground, and Jing Ke, who had been chasing just now, fell to the ground, covered in blood.

"My rescue came too late, my king, please forgive me!" Several Yulin guards held Jing Ke down and begged Wang Luo.

Wang Luo, who was still in shock, was furious and immediately shouted: "Go and break up Jing Ke's chariot! Kill everyone in the Yan delegation!"

"Come here, pass on my order, recruit a large army, attack the Yan Kingdom immediately, and let me capture the King of Yan and execute him!"

Following Wang Luo's order, Huaiguo's war machine immediately started running.

In the eighth year of Emperor Huai's reign, Jing Ke offered a picture as a pretext for assassinating the king. He took the picture and presented it to him, but when he saw the picture, the dagger failed to reach him. King Huai was frightened and dodged, but missed.Jing Ke chased the King of Huai, and the King of Huai walked around the pillar, unable to summon his troops. He was in a panic and didn't know what to do. People on the left and right said: "The king is carrying his sword! The king is carrying his sword!" Then he drew his sword and struck Jing Ke, breaking his arm, and Jing Ke was defeated.The king of Huai was angry and had his chariot broken apart, and all the Yan envoys were executed.
