From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

The rain lasted for three days. Although the heavy rain turned into continuous drizzle, there was still no sign of stopping.

Xianyang, Wu Mansion.

Wu Fengdeng stood under the eaves of the door, with his hands behind his back, looking at the smoke-gray dome outside, and felt very calm for a moment.

But in this calm, there was also a different feeling that made him feel that something was about to happen.

"After learning the Qimen technique, my intuition is no longer mysterious. I can actually foresee something. Is there going to be a disaster soon?"

Wu Fengdeng murmured in his heart, subconsciously attributing the cause of the disaster to the Yin-Yang family.

"The Yin-Yang family, the only ones who are a threat to me now are Taiyi and the other four. The Yin-Yang family is now completely in hiding, but Dongjun Wangshu and the others must be busy doing something outside."

"Could it be that they are looking for something again, something that can help Taiyi ascend to heaven?"

Wu Fengdeng frowned slightly, and then summoned out the Four Plates of Qimen, which slowly rotated, with one evil door facing the northeast.

"That is Dai County, and further east are the two countries of Yan and Qi. Could it be that the Yin-Yang family has moved to one of them?"

While he was deep in thought, Jiang Qiyu walked out of the room behind him and asked curiously, "Brother Fengdeng, what are you thinking about?"

"I have a bad feeling, I always feel..."

"General Wu!"

At this moment, a feminine voice was heard from the courtyard. The fat and bloated figure covered by a big umbrella was none other than Xu Ran from the palace.

"Manager Xu."

"Haha, General Wu's disciples are enjoying the rain, quite elegantly!"

Xu Ran smiled while twisting his fingers. His eyes sunken deep in the cleft were filled with reverence. He no longer had the calm and superior attitude he had when facing the younger generation.

After all, the current Marquis of Qin is comparable to the prime minister and general in terms of strength and official status. He is already someone Xu Ran needs to flatter.

Wu Fengdeng said calmly: "Manager Xu, thank you for the compliment. What have you been doing these days..."

"It's like this. The king has ordered us to invite you to the palace to discuss something important."

"it is good."

Without asking any questions, he had the carriage prepared and headed for the palace.

In the carriage, Manager Xu was still smiling happily, with obvious crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, which must be some good news.

"Does Manager Xu have any good news recently?"

"Yes, there is a happy event, and it's a huge happy event, hahaha!"

Xu Ran patted his knees and continued to smile: "But it's not just our family's happy event, it's the whole Daqin's happy event!"

"The king has taken another concubine?"

"No, no, no, the general was just joking."

Xu Ran waved his hand, then leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Yesterday, Prince Yan Dan of Yan State sent a letter, showing weakness and begging for surrender!"

The smile on Wu Fengdeng's face froze, and suddenly he seemed to realize something.

"Haha, the King of Yan is quite sensible. He knows that the mighty Qin army is unstoppable and the two countries of Yan and Qi are just a matter of seconds. So he took the initiative to beg for surrender to avoid embarrassment and punishment."

"Tsk tsk, ten cities in total. That's one-third of Yan's territory, and they're all fertile land!"

"Also, the traitor Fan Yuqi has finally been executed. Let's see who dares to betray our Great Qin!"

Xu Ran's voice made Wu Fengdeng's face even gloomier.

Of course he knew what this meant.

Jing Ke assassinated Qin. This event that I often worried about finally happened.

Jing Ke had saved his life twice, and he and Ying Zheng were friends for life and death, so Wu Fengdeng was caught in a difficult position.

Sit back and watch Ying Zheng kill Jing Ke? No, that would go against his kindness.

Watch Jing Ke kill Ying Zheng? No, Ying Zheng must not die.

We have to find a way to mediate.

Wu Fengdeng frowned and fell into deep thought.

Soon afterward, he met Ying Zheng and Han Fei in the palace hall. The two were sitting opposite each other, with a map of the State of Yan placed in front of them.

"Brother Wu! Come quickly, I have something good to share with you!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand with a relaxed and cheerful smile on his face that Wu Fengdeng rarely saw. Han Fei beside him also smiled warmly.

"Yesterday Yan Dan sent a letter asking for surrender. Guess who the messenger will be tomorrow?"

Wu Fengdeng shook his head and laughed, "It's your good brother Jing Ke! Last time he helped you in the battle of Hechi City, I didn't have time to reward him. I heard it's good wine, right? This time we can drink to our heart's content!"

Ying Zheng was different from other monarchs. Apart from his ruthless political tactics, what remained was the youthful heroism and talent. When facing his peers like Wu Fengdeng, he did not put on any airs as a monarch.

Of course, this is also based on the fact that Wu Fengdeng and Han Fei know their place and understand the current situation, but it does not hinder Ying Zheng's loyalty.

As for Jing Ke, it can be said that he loves his family as well as his relatives.

Faced with his enthusiasm, Wu Fengdeng just smiled bitterly. Han Fei beside him continued, "Brother Jing is young and promising. It's a pity for him to stay in Yan State. If it's possible, it would be better for him to stay in Daqin."

"Brother Wu, you have to persuade him well then."

"Correct!"

Ying Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "As long as Jing Ke can stay in Qin, I will give him the title of earl and let him serve in the army!"

He knew the importance of talent, and he had also heard from Han Fei about Jing Ke's high combat power. He must be a strong man now, so of course he wanted to try his best to win him over to the Qin State.

Seeing how sincere he was, Wu Fengdeng felt even more sad.

Ying Zheng values ​​Jing Ke so much that everyone would be happy if he could be recruited. However, given Jing Ke's loyal character, he would most likely refuse to accept the invitation, and Ying Zheng's love for him would turn into fear.

At this critical moment for the Qin State, any threat must be nipped in the bud.

Therefore, for Jing Ke, there is no doubt that except entering the Qin State to survive, any other path would be a dead end.

Wu Fengdeng then nodded and said: "I will try my best to persuade him, but before he comes to Xianyang, I want to meet him first."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for good news in Xianyang!"

Ying Zheng did not notice the strangeness in his eyes, and was rarely overwhelmed by joy.

But Han Fei, who was standing next to him, had a sharp eye and keenly noticed Wu Fengdeng's unnaturalness. Being cautious by nature, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Jing Ke's visit to us may keep him in Qin, which is a good thing. But why do you look unhappy, Brother Wu?"

"Is there some conflict between him and Jing Ke? Or is he worried that he can't persuade Jing Ke to rebel? With his wisdom, he should be able to think of Jing Ke's current situation..."

"No, that's not right. Even if Jing Ke refused, the king would not kill him. At most, he would be imprisoned. Brother Wu, there is no need to be so worried."

"So the problem is not here, but with Jing Ke. Is there something wrong with him? Is he hiding something... with an impure purpose?"

Han Fei's pupils shrank slightly, and considering the current situation, a terrible idea instantly emerged in his mind.

Looking at Ying Zheng who was laughing heartily and Wu Fengdeng who was forcing a smile, Han Fei was the most nervous one.

I hope I am overthinking... (End of this chapter)
