Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 119
When Jing Ke was in the palace, not only was his three fingers cut off, but he was also severely injured. After being thrown into the prison, he passed out due to excessive blood loss.

Fortunately, not long after, a doctor came to diagnose and treat him, and only then did he save his life.

"Prisoner Chief, that Jing Ke who assassinated the king has not eaten for a day." The jailer in charge of the prison food reported to the prisoner Wang Chenghui.

"Didn't you eat anything?" Wang Cheng, the jailer in Xianyang Prison, asked with a frown.

After Jing Ke was imprisoned in the prison, Wang Cheng didn't take his life and death seriously at first, this man dared to assassinate the king on the top of the hall, nine lives were not enough for him to die.

The reason why he asked a doctor to diagnose and treat him was to prevent him from dying of illness before King Qin executed him.

However, things developed in a different direction. In the evening, the imperial doctor from the palace came to give Jing Ke a new diagnosis and treatment, and carefully bandaged all the wounds.

The only one who can send an imperial doctor here is King Qin.

This immediately made Wang Cheng a little puzzled. To be able to get a fat job as a jailer in Xianyang, Wang Cheng naturally has no connections at all.

After many inquiries, I learned about Ziying's pleading for Jing Ke during the court meeting.Depending on the situation, because of Mr. Chang'an, the king may plan to save the assassin of the Yan Kingdom.

Since Jing Ke is Ziying's sworn elder brother, and Chang'an gentleman Ziying has not received any substantial punishment, this Jing Ke naturally can't let him have any mistakes in prison, so he specifically asked the prison guards below to take care of him.

"From morning to night, no grain of rice was eaten, and no water was even drunk."

"Take me there to have a look." After saying that, Wang Cheng got up and followed the jailer towards the cell where Jing Ke was being held.

The cell where Jing Ke was held was much better than the rest of the prisoners. Not only was he alone in a single room, but there was also a simple bed inside.
Wang Cheng walked over, looked at the food on the ground that hadn't diminished at all, picked up the rice bowl and said, "The high-quality round-grained rice, this is what I specially prepared for you."

"People who are about to die, why bother." After saying that, he supported the wall with one hand, stood up staggeringly, and said, "Let's go."

Wang Cheng smiled and said, "I prepared food for you, but I didn't say I would let you out."

"Didn't you come to escort me to the execution ground?" Jing Ke asked.

After he failed to assassinate the King of Qin, Jing Ke had already prepared for this. I am afraid that beheading would be the lightest sentence.

"Because of Mr. Chang'an, your life is probably saved, but if you want to go out, I'm afraid you will have to live in the next life." Wang Cheng pushed the food in front of Jing Ke, and said in a strange way: "It's better to eat the food honestly." Come on, Lord Chang'an of the province suffered for you for nothing."

"Mr. Chang'an?" Jing Ke frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, he had no acquaintance in Qin State, let alone someone like Feng Jun.

"Oh, by the way, you probably don't know that Li Jun, the deputy envoy who came with you, is His Royal Highness Chang'an Jun of the Qin Kingdom, Zhao Ziying, the king's nephew." Wang Cheng said with reverence in his eyes: "His Royal Highness Chang'an Although he is only in his teens, he is a household name in Qin State, he was known as a 'virtuous monarch' when he was in Zhao State, and he has made outstanding achievements repeatedly after returning to Qin State."

Wang Cheng's words struck Jing Ke like a thunderbolt.For a moment, the whole person became sluggish. : "My sworn brother turned out to be Lord Chang'an of Qin!"

Jing Ke, who was not in the mood for a while, couldn't accept the news.

"No, I don't believe it, go and call Li Jun, I want him to tell me himself!" After a long time, Jing Ke roared loudly, the voice was not like that of a seriously injured person.

In order to let Jing Ke eat the food honestly, Wang Cheng also played a trick, deliberately exaggerating the difficulty of Xia Ziying's pleading for him, and said to Jing Ke: "You think your life is so easy to save. Begging the king to spare you the death penalty, His Highness Chang'an knelt in front of the main hall for a day and a night.

It is not so easy to appease the king when he is angry. Not only did he not get any rewards for this trip to the country of Yan, but he was also punished for it, Lord Chang'an.

I'm afraid Chang'an's life will not be as good as yours!Even if His Highness thought about it, he might be powerless.

It's a good thing you don't eat anything here, I think you are the unrighteous person. "

After finishing speaking, he put the meal king Jing Ke in front of him and left Jing Ke's cell.

Wang Cheng's words made Jing Ke's heart flustered immediately, and he was a little at a loss as to what to do.

For the crown prince Dan Jingke, he was grateful for his kindness, so he risked his death to enter Qin.

Although Ziying lied to himself, it was also because Ziying caused his assassination of Qin to fall short, but his life was indeed saved by Ziying's desperate efforts.

I won't mention Jing Ke's psychological entanglement for the time being, but at least Jing Ke has no intention of begging for death at this time, and he no longer eats nothing.

Jing Ke's assassination of Qin gave an excellent excuse to the Qin army who had been ready to move for a long time. After Xia Liang entered the warehouse, King Qin took Wang Jian as the main general and Li Xin as the vanguard, and sent [-] troops to attack Yan.

Prince Dan of the Yan State gathered the elites of the Yan State to build a solid line of defense on the side of the Great Wall at Yishui, intending to use the danger of Yishui and the Great Wall to block the Qin army's attack.

Who would have thought that the cavalry of the Qin army led by the vanguard Li Xin detoured thousands of miles, bypassed the Yan army's defense line from the north of the Great Wall of Yan State, and rushed straight to the rear of the Yan army's defense line after two days of rapid travel.

At this time, the large army led by Wang Jian had already arrived at the Pan of Yishui.

The Qin army's two armies attacked back and forth, and the Yan army was defeated immediately. Prince Dan led the remaining Yan army to retreat eastward.

To the east of the Great Wall of Yishui is the land of Dukang in Yan State. The flat terrain and fertile land are the fertile land of Yan State, and the city is also densely populated.

However, the detailed map of military and civilian deployment in Dukang's land had already been sent to Xianyang in order to win the trust of Qin State in the previous plan to assassinate Qin.

Personnel can be transferred, but many fortifications, granaries and other buildings are difficult to change in a short period of time.

Under the guidance of Dukang's detailed map, the land of Dukang in Yan State can be said to be undefended. In just three months, Wang Jian's army conquered more than ten cities in Yan State. They have marched under Jicheng and surrounded Yandu.

However, although the Yan Kingdom is weak, the capital city was built with high walls and thick walls. Faced with such a strong city, Wang Jian had no good idea for a while, so he had to temporarily besiege Jicheng.

As for Ziying, he recuperated in Chang'an Junfu for half a year in accordance with the foot ban.

Although he couldn't go out, the palace was not as lively as usual. Not only Peng Yue, Sima Shang and other old subordinates came to visit from time to time, Sima Jingjing even lived in Chang'an Palace directly.

So even though the feet were grounded, Ziying's life was very comfortable.
