Chapter 228 Persuasion
After walking out of the palace, Wu Fengdeng stopped for a moment, first went to the doctor's home, and asked Doctor Huang for a special-purpose pill. Then he jumped directly into the air, penetrated the clouds, and flew straight towards Hangu Pass.

Hangu Pass is the most strategically important place for the Qin State to defend itself from the numerous attacks by other states.

Wu Fengdeng arrived at night, briefly informed the Meng family army stationed there, and asked people to build a small wooden pavilion in the border desert.

Then the table was set for the banquet and the jar of fine wine was poured.

Wu Fengdeng waved his hand and said, "Retreat. Between now and tomorrow night, no one is allowed to enter within a ten-mile radius."

"Here!"

The Qin army bowed in response, then retreated with respect on their faces.

Wu Fengdeng lifted up his clothes and sat down, looking at the vast world in front of him, with a look of melancholy in his eyes.

I sat like this for the whole night.

In the early morning of the next day, the rain stopped and the dawn broke out in the east, stretching out in strands across the wasteland. Wu Fengdeng's face became brighter.

Da Da Da~
The sound of horse hooves approaching.

It was a luxurious carriage team with about a hundred people, most of whom were elite guards, flying the banner of [Yan].

Hu~~~
At this time, the deputy general on horseback in the front noticed the abrupt wooden pavilion at the end of his sight. Under the pavilion, a young man in a bright red robe was drinking.

Boom!
He just sat there so calmly, but the deputy general's heart suddenly trembled, and a strong feeling of palpitations spread throughout his body.

This, this is a master!

He knew that this was the body's instinctive crisis against the strong, and to the extent that it was a threat to the kind that could completely crush him!
The state of Concealing Qi, at least the state of Concealing Qi!

The deputy general swallowed and hurried to the carriage behind him.

"Mr. Jing, there is someone blocking the road ahead. It seems... he is waiting for us."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door curtain opened and Jing Ke saw the young man in red in the distance. His expression immediately became a little complicated.

"Wuyang, you and your men stay here. No one can move forward without my order."

"Here!"

Under the wooden pavilion.

"Hahaha, Brother Wu, why are you here? Are you here to welcome me?"

Wu Fengdeng looked up at the young man in front of him who was dressed in iron blue. His handsome face was more resolute than before.

He smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Jing was going to Qin, so I set up a banquet here. Let's have a drink first!"

"Why go to so much trouble? It would be fine in Xianyang. Why do you have to run so far?"

Jing Ke was not shy and sat opposite him: "Could it be that the Xianyang banquet is priced sky-high? Hahaha!"

Wu Fengdeng smiled and raised his hand to fill his glass: "Try it, the famous local wine in Hangu Pass, Desert Blade."

The slightly turbid rice wine poured down, and Jing Ke picked it up and drank it all without hesitation. His brows frowned slightly, and then relaxed again.

"What a strong drink! It's powerful and gives me strength!"

"The people here are strong-willed and the wine they brew is strong. If you like, I'll load a carload for you later."

After he finished speaking, Jing Ke also understood the hidden meaning of his words, but he remained calm on the surface and just asked calmly: "Brother Wu, neither you nor I are the kind of people who beat around the bush. You must have come here not just to drink with me. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Wu Fengdeng realized that his words had hit the mark, so he stopped wasting time and said in a deep voice, "Go back now, don't go to Xianyang. The King of Qin is busy with other things now and it's not appropriate for him to meet guests." "Whatever the attitude of Yan State is, we can exchange letters. If the relationship eases this time, Qin State will not attack Yan immediately. I can guarantee you the title of Champion Marquis."

He knew that Jing Ke would not return easily without some substantial promises, so Wu Fengdeng thought about it all night before coming up with this delaying tactic.

Given his current status, this move might cause some criticism, but no one would dare to say no.

Jing Ke smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Wu, you are joking. I am only here to visit the King of Qin on the orders of the King of Yan. If I leave now, I will not be able to report to the King of Qin!"

"It's okay. I'll write a letter when I get back and explain the reason."

"Haha, no need for that. We are all here now, so it's no problem for us to wait in Xianyang for a few days. It just so happens that you are the host, so please treat me to a tour of all the restaurants in Xianyang. This is what you promised me in the beginning!"

Jing Ke patted him on the shoulder and said, "When the King of Qin is free, we will go to the palace to pay him a visit!"

Seeing that he was so persistent, Wu Fengdeng paused and said seriously: "Brother Jing, listen to me and go home now. I will definitely treat you to a drink if I have the chance in the future, but not now."

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere began to become somewhat heavy and strange. Jing Ke's smile gradually faded, but then he smiled bitterly and said, "Can I know the real reason?"

"The real reason is that if you go any further, it will be a dead end."

"Does the King of Qin want to kill me?"

Wu Fengdeng looked gloomy, staring into his eyes, and said word by word: "Brother Jing, who will kill who?"

Call ~
The wind suddenly became stronger, black hair fluttered, the two people looked at each other, and the cold light that gradually spread in their eyes made the temperature around them drop sharply.

At this moment, Qin Wuyang, who was watching from a distance, also felt a hidden aura of terror. He subconsciously tightened the sword at his waist, and sweat broke out on his face.

"Are you going to start now?"

He stared at the two people under the wooden pavilion in the distance, looking nervous, which made the other guards around him also look serious.

"I don't understand you."

After a long time, Jing Ke finally spoke.

Wu Fengdeng said coldly: "It doesn't matter whether you understand or not. You just need to know that if you go further, you will be in endless hell. It's not too late to stop now."

"I don't care what Yan Dan said to you. Your life is precious. It is not worth dying for him or the State of Yan."

"People live their whole lives just for the word righteousness."

"I know!"

Wu Fengdeng growled, holding his wrist tightly, leaning close to him and saying seriously: "I promise you, as long as you turn back now, there will be no war in the Shenzhou Continent this year, no matter if it is in Qin or other places, there will never be war again."

"But I can only guarantee that this year, even if Daqin does not start a war, other places and other countries will also be in constant war. You can't control it now, and you can't control it!"

As Jing Ke listened, his face grew uglier, but Wu Fengdeng continued to speak fluently.

"Isn't your ideal a peaceful world? It's still a long way from that. If you die now, are you willing to do so?"

"I still say the same thing. If we want to have no wars in the world, if we want the people of China to live and work in peace and contentment for thousands of years, the various states in China must be unified! And now the only state that has the ability to do so is Qin!"

"So what you are doing now is completely a waste of time! You should join the Qin army now. With only Yan and Qi left, with your help, everything will be accomplished. By then, won't your ideal of world peace be realized?"

"Instead of thinking about killing Ying Zheng, this will only cause unrest in Qin and China. How many people will be affected by the fight for the throne and die innocently? Have you ever thought about this problem?"
