Lianxian

Chapter 201 The Way of Thorns

The wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong men will never return when they are gone." The vast ancient battlefield, the rustling waters, behind the people of the six kingdoms, and in front of the powerful tigers and wolves. The people do not allow me to escape, and history does not allow me The only choice is to assassinate Qin, to use Yingzheng's blood to pay homage to the souls of the six kingdoms, and to use Yingzheng's head to comfort Prince Pill's acquaintance. But I, regardless of success or failure, have to die.

Gao Jianli's tragic sound of construction is still ringing in my ears, but I can only gallop on horseback, flying sand in front of me, and my eyes are yellow.Is the yellow sand blocking my sight or my heart has long been covered by dust?I was running fast but lost my way.Xiao Ge of Yishui has long passed away, and the faces of the prince and guests are gradually blurred.The sun has set lazily in the west, and the night is like a huge spider covering me and suffocating me.I suddenly felt a great fear hit me, is it death?no.Is it fear?Not at all.I don't understand, I can only gallop on horseback.

I don't know how long it took, a little light appeared in front of it, maybe it was someone else.I urged the horse forward.The person who opened the door was an elder with white hair and a childlike face, and a long beard fluttering.

"Passers-by get lost and beg for a night." I don't want to tell my true identity.

The old man smiled and beckoned me in.

The furnishings in the thatched hut are very simple, a mat, a jug of wine, two cups, the rest is only weak candlelight, in the candle oil, a bug is struggling, is it a silent cry or a helpless lament?I reached out to rescue it.The old man stopped me.

"What's the benefit of saving a dying worm? What's the benefit of saving this worm to the world?" I was shocked and avoided the table to worship him.The old man laughed and took out a picture from his sleeve.

"Although the strong Qin is violent, it is still indispensable. If there is no strong Qin, the seven kingdoms are in chaos, where are the people? Where is the peace? Where is the common people?"

I looked up and saw that the old man was no longer there, and neither was the thatched hut. I was the only one there in a daze.

"Everyone in the world?" Why did I assassinate Qin Qin?Is it to repay Prince Dan for his kindness?Is it to restore the seven-nation melee?Or for the common people in the world?

'The world? "I feel that the burden on me has suddenly increased a lot. I am not only assassinating a king of Qin, but more importantly, bringing about a new war among the princes. The people will fall into the ocean of war again. Then I will become a sinner through the ages But who will repay Prince Dan's kindness? Who will repay the souls of the Six Kingdoms? I have no choice. For the first time, I discovered that there is something more important than righteous characters.

I rode my horse and galloped, hoping that the biting cold wind would wake up my chaotic heart, but I was wrong. Not only did the cold wind not wake me up, but it made me more confused.prick?Do not stab?I really have a hard time choosing.

Before you know it, the east is already bright.I rode my horse and galloped all night, only to find that I was only circling around a lonely tomb, Qin Wuyang was still sleeping there, he had no idea how far I had traveled that night...

Moving forward, we still rushed to Xianyang.

Xianyang, I must go, King Qin, I must also stab.I'm just a swordsman, a ranger who doesn't belong to me, an assassin has an assassin's mission, and the world has a way back.In the eyes of an assassin, the world is no longer the world, and grievances are no longer grievances. I can only complete the tasks assigned to me by Prince Dan as an assassin.However, the world, let the world decide for itself.

Xianyang, this is the legendary land of tigers and wolves, but I found a bustling city. Compared with the broken walls and ruins of the six kingdoms, this is a paradise on earth. In a peaceful life, without the slightest trauma of war, this is peace and this is happiness. If the world can be like this, why is it necessary to divide the Qin Kingdom and the Six Kingdoms?What is the difference between King Yan and King Qin?

Wuyang has already bribed King Qin's favorite minister, Meng Jia. Tomorrow, King Qin will summon me in the hall, and history will push me to the forefront, and even push me to the abyss.I know that tonight will be the last time I see the moon, but I wonder if King Qin will see it again?

The night was already very deep, but I didn't feel sleepy at all. The dim candle flame danced in front of my eyes, and the face of the white-haired old man appeared in front of me again, and I didn't go away for a long time.

"Assassin Qin? The world?" I smiled wryly, and pushed the door to the courtyard. Tonight's moon is very round, hanging like a jade plate in the sky. A few wisps of autumn wind lazily blow through the treetops, blowing down a few yellowed leaves. Floating on the shining water.

"The moon is melting, the wind is light, and the wind and the moon are on the blue sky." Looking at this night scene, I can't help but feel emotional.

"The moon is melting, the wind is light. The wind and the moon are hard to go to the sky." A voice sounded in the distance, deeply penetrating into the bone marrow.

"Who?" There was no reply, only a black shadow passed over the wall, leaving the rustling sound of branches shaking.

"What's the matter?" Wu Yang also walked out of the room, obviously he couldn't fall asleep.That's right, tomorrow is a life-and-death fight in the Great Hall of the Qin State, so how can we sit back and relax tonight.

"It's nothing, it's a stray cat, I'm going out for a walk." I don't know why I have to hide it from him, maybe this is just a secret that belongs to me alone.

"Be careful, you will be cut in half if you walk alone at night."

"Cut in half?" I laughed out loud and pushed the door out.Only the dazed Wuyang and the deathly silence remained.

Outside the post house is a small river, the river is cool and deep like my heart, the gurgling water plays a sad music in the silent night.

I walked along the stream, walked on the golden path covered by moonlight, and walked down listening to the nursery rhymes woven by the stream.I don't know where I'm going.I just let the feeling lead me away, into a deep unknown world.

The creek flows through a deep forest, and the forest in late autumn is particularly terrifying. Several owls are standing on the branches and devouring voles, making "cuckoo" sounds from time to time.It's dark and humid here, I can't tell where I am, I can only hear the echo of running water, the wailing of insects and the howling of wolves in the distance, but this makes me feel very refreshed, maybe this is the The right place for me.I should belong to the dark and lonely.

Continue to walk forward, suddenly a few bright lights appeared in front of me, like the eyes of ghosts flickering, I stopped my steps instinctively, holding the dagger at my waist tightly with my right hand, staring at those bright lights for a long time, Perhaps curiosity overcame timidity, and I walked along the light.The light came from a hut, just like the hut I encountered that day when I was lost.

Is it a ghost?Or hallucination?I stand outside the hut

"The chivalrous man is coming soon, why don't you have a drink with the old man?" An old man's old voice came from inside the room.

I opened the door and entered, just like before, with a table, a jug of wine, and two wine glasses, except that there was a huge calligraphy and painting on the wall - the world.

Sitting at the table was still the same old man, with white hair and childlike face, and long beard fluttering.

"Has the chivalrous man ever thought about it?"

"Clear is turbid, and turbid is also clear"

"Wonderful! Good! There is neither clarity nor turbidity. Please drink this cup to the full."

I picked up the glass in front of me and drank it down, suddenly feeling bitter and unbearable.

"How about this wine?" The old man asked with a smile.

"bitter"

"Since it's bitter, why not abandon it?"

"How can you throw away the wine in your mouth?"

"Wonderful! Good!" The old man clapped his palms and laughed, "The chivalrous man came right away. He knew that the King of Qin could not be stabbed, but he had to do so. He had to think twice. I have been at ease all my life, but the knights have not gone, why?"

"Since I have answered Prince Dan's request, how can I retreat and avoid him? Even if I retreat for the rest of my life, what face will Ke show to others? Everyone calls it: Jing Ke, a real coward, but even though he is alive, he is still dead. beneficial?"

"Will a chivalrous man die for nothing?" The old man was still smiling.

"Life will always have something to ask for in this world. Emperors will help each other to achieve their great achievements. Migrate guests and poets write their articles through the ages. Chivalrous and righteous people walk the world with the word righteousness, and walk the world with the word letter. If you escape today, you will lose trust in the world and lose your chivalry. Exhausted, ashamed of the word "chivalry". The ancients said, "People leave their names when they pass, and geese leave their voices." I, Jing Ke, how can an ordinary person escape?"

"Since this is the case, the chivalrous man will be successful tomorrow, and his reputation will spread far and wide, and he will be promoted to a noble." The old man is still as calm as water

"I'm afraid that tomorrow, Jing Ke will be infamous for thousands of years."

"Why?"

"Assassinate the King of Qin, and the state of Qin will be in chaos, and the chaos of Qin will lead to chaos in the world. All countries will rise together, and the flames of war will reignite. The iron cavalry of all countries will once again set foot on the mountains and rivers where the gunpowder is not exhausted. Then the people will be uneasy, and the world will be in chaos. I will not be ashamed for thousands of years. However, no If I kill the King of Qin, I will lose my trust in Prince Pill, lose my trust in the heroes of the world, and I will still be infamous for thousands of years. Whether I stab or not, I will die, and I will be infamous for the rest of my life, and the peace talks will be famous far and wide?" I sighed softly.

long, deep silence

"I have a plan, is the knight willing to listen?"

"Respect and be taught"

"Do chivalrous men cherish their fame? Do they cherish their lives?" asked the old man

"name"

"Since this is the case, the knights will assassinate Qin in tomorrow's palace."

"Assassinate King Qin?" I was shocked

"No, no. To stab is not to kill. Tomorrow, the king of Qin will summon the knights within ten steps. If the knights stab, it will be as easy as turning the palm of your hand. If you see him with a dagger, the king of Qin will die. However, the knights will go here to assassinate Qin, not kill Qin. To stab is to stab, but to kill is not to kill. If the king of Qin stabs but does not die, the knight will surely die. If this is the case, the world will be safe, and the hero will know that the knight stabs Qin and dies, and his reputation will not be damaged. What do the knights think?" I asked. After pondering for a long time, he laughed out loud, and the cold laughter echoed in the empty woods.

I skipped the table and worshiped again, and my mind suddenly disappeared.

"A knight has any regrets"

"Jing Ke has no regrets in this life!"

"It's nothing rare, please drink this cup to the brim." The old man raised his glass

I took the wine glass, drank it down, and suddenly felt the aroma filled my throat

"How about this wine?"

"sweet"

"All hardships come with rewards, and the chivalrous warriors go all the way."

Xianyang, Qin Palace.

The west wind, mixed with wisps of dust, swirled in the air, blowing off a few dead leaves that hadn't been tuned.The sky is gray and vast, like a layer of veil, and there is a faint sound in my ears, like the tragic cry of the west wind, and like the mighty horn of the Qin soldiers. I know that my life will come to an end, and my life will be painted on this A full stop, whether it is complete or not, history will give me an answer.

The messenger led me into the palace, and I saw the majestic Qin Palace, the towering spire, and rows of majestic and mighty Qin soldiers, holding iron spears in their hands, swords hanging on their waists, bows and crossbows on their backs, and iron hooves. Clanking and murderous, this is Yingzheng's tool to sweep the world. It is hard to imagine how the leaderless Qin army will trample on this already riddled land. What kind of world will the world be like then?

The ceremony of the nine guests was over, and the envoy led me into the hall. In the hall, there was no sound, and the cultural relics of the Qin State were juxtaposed on both sides of the hall. I saw Zhang Yi, who traveled across the six countries, Li Si, who was strategizing, and Lu Buwei, who was tough and diplomatic. Seeing Wang Jian who swept the six kingdoms, Bai Qi, they were fifty steps away from the Qin State, this is the rule of the Qin State "not the king's call, but fifty steps away from the king", and today the King of Qin called me within ten steps, Qin soldiers are at a hundred steps away, and Qin generals are fifty steps away. This is a thousand-year opportunity for an assassin. "Ten steps and one death" how could King Qin live? "Three days ago, I might have thought this way, and I would do the same. With my martial arts, Tuqiongdagger was definitely the day when the prince died suddenly, but today, in this close distance, I will give up, give up writing history This opportunity will bring peace to the world.

I sat ten steps away from the King of Qin, and looked at the King of Qin: I was wearing a gold silk soft armor robe, and my feet were wearing boots that climbed to the sky, and my face was full of fortitude and heroism.Compared with King Yan, King Qin is not only a great king who sits high in the palace, but also a general who commands well and runs rampant on the battlefield. The domineering aura of an emperor leaks from his blood, flows throughout his body, and flows throughout Qin. , flowed throughout the whole of China, the king of Qin is not dead, and the world is settled.

"Where is Fan Yuqi?" King Qin asked, his powerful voice echoed in the empty hall.

I glanced at Wuyang beside me, motioned him to open the box, Wuyang handed the box to me, and whispered: Please offer it, I can't do it.I smiled slightly, "If you know death, why fear it?"

I took the box and the map, and took five steps forward to show Qin.King Qin got up angrily when he saw Fan Yu's letter. "silting, silting

Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. Do you know today? "

I held the picture in front of me, and the King of Qin was overjoyed. If I got this picture, the day of breaking the Yan could be waiting.But he didn't know it. At this moment, his life was controlled by an assassin, and I suddenly felt a burst of sadness: So what if he is the king of Qin who dominates the six kingdoms?Staying on top of the empty hall all day, not allowed to step in fifty steps away, guarding against being killed day and night, but what is the result?An assassin is three steps away but he doesn't know it, his life is about to end but he still plans the world.I feel the fragility of life. Just like me today, I know that I am going to die, but I can only choose to die. King Qin is for profit, and I am for fame. They are all sad victims of history.

I slowly opened the map, time seemed to freeze at this moment, I stopped standing suddenly, looked at King Qin, King Qin was shocked, I laughed, the voice was very small, maybe only I could hear it.

"I am an assassin," I said softly.I saw the astonishment and shock of the prince, but what surprised me was that I didn't see fear in his eyes. His eyes pierced me like two sharp knives. Maybe this is the domineering that only he has.

The King of Qin wants to stand up, but his silk armor has been held down by me. Although the King of Qin is powerful, he is no match for me.King Qin glared at him.

"Why stab me?"

"For Prince Dan"

"Why stab?"

"If you see a poor dagger, you will die in ten steps", the picture has already been exhibited, revealing the extremely poisonous dagger.

"If you want to stab me, what is me?"

"For the world" I said quietly

"The world?" King Qin was astonished.

"Yes, Tianxia" I said lightly, "You and I are only half a step away, so how about killing you with my strength?"

"I must die," King Qin replied

"Unknown also"

"Why?" King Qin was puzzled.

"Take my life for the world." As I said that, I took the dagger and cut off King Qin's brocade robe, and shouted: "Qin thief, today's funeral."

The king of Qin got up and left, and I chased after him. When Qin soldiers heard about it, they came one after another and poured them in front of the hall.

The King of Qin has already carried the sword, and I have seven wounds on my body, all of which are critically injured by the sword.

"Although you have not stabbed me, I will kill you. Not killing you will not be enough to secure the world of Qin. If you did not kill me, it is your fault. I will kill you, and it is also your fault. How can a woman's benevolence achieve great things?"

"Great Qin Tianxia?" I looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "King Qin is cruel, and everyone in the world knows it. Seeing him today is as expected."

"Those who threaten me, those who threaten me, and those who deceive my life will all die." King Qin said bitterly.

"I am bound to die, but the unknown death, feeding the tiger with my body is my sorrow, but I am the world, not the world of Great Qin." I got up angrily, raised the dagger and threw it, the dagger passed through King Qin's hair, and hit the pillar And drop.

King Qin was shocked and retreated ten steps away from me.

I looked up to the sky and laughed, the laughter echoed above the hall and overwhelmed all the noisy noise, and I felt a huge pain from the bottom of my heart.This is not the result I want.But it is the arrangement of fate, the sorrow of the world, and the annihilation of human nature. I don't know if I am doing the right thing.The world is uncertain.There are wars everywhere, the world is set, can the world be safe and happy?The cruelty of the King of Qin chilled my heart, and the chill pierced my bones, but there was only a black expanse of land in front of me. . . . . .
