The attendants in the palace walked to Jing Ke's case.

Jing Ke opened the copper box on the case and saw a small box inside.

He glanced at the small copper box with an expressionless face, took it out with both hands, and said with his feet (jì): "This is the head of Qin's traitorous general Fan Yuqi, and I offer it to you now."

The attendant stretched out his hands, took the small copper box, turned around and sent it to the big case in front of King Qin.

"The head of the traitorous general Fan Yuqi is here. Please inspect it, your Majesty."

Following the call from the visitor, Zhao Tuo straightened his spine and raised his eyes to look at King Qin.

They saw that King Qin did not open the box immediately, but watched silently, with no idea what he was thinking in his eyes.

Zhao Tuo was surprised. Everyone in the world heard that King Qin hated Fan Yuqi and wanted to cut him in half and eat him alive.

For this reason, the King of Qin not only annihilated the three tribes of Fan Yuqi, but also offered a reward for his head with a thousand catties of gold and ten thousand families in the city.

But judging from the current situation, the hatred between King Qin and Fan Yuqi may be more complicated than imagined.

Zhao Tuo didn't know what happened between the two. There were various theories among the people, but many of them were rumors with ulterior motives and should not be taken seriously. I'm afraid only the parties involved knew the true situation.

Finally, King Qin sneered. He opened the copper box and looked directly at the processed human head inside.

"Fan Yuqi, Fan Yuqi, why have I failed you? How dare you betray me? You deserve to end up like this."

"Pass it on so everyone present can take a good look."

Following the edict of King Qin, the attendants picked up the copper box and showed it to the ministers in the palace.

No one in the palace made a sound. Even the two most powerful prime ministers and the chief minister Li Si, who was deeply trusted by the King of Qin, just circulated it silently without making any sound.

Fan Yuqi's incident was a major scandal in the Qin State and was also a restricted area for the King of Qin.

After a long time, the attendants reported that all the ministers had finished reading.

The King of Qin said coldly: "Send it to Zhao, and ask the general and other generals to meet their old friends."

"only."

The silence in the hall and the heavy and solemn atmosphere made Zhao Tuo feel very depressed.

This was different from the scene he had imagined before. He thought the map was the focus, but he didn't expect that a single head of Fan Yuqi would change the color of the entire Xianyang Palace.

But fortunately, after some warm-up, the show finally started.

Lord Changping spoke first: "Your Majesty, this time when the envoy of Yan comes to court, in addition to presenting the heads of the rebels, he will also present a map of the Dukang land."

King Qin nodded and turned to the two envoys from Yan in front of the palace. His eyes paused for a moment on Zhao Tuo, and finally fell on Jing Ke.

"Is the State of Yan sincere in begging for surrender?"

Jing Ke's expression did not change, he cupped his hands and said, "When your Majesty asks, foreign ministers should report truthfully. Now Qin has destroyed Han and Zhao, and its military power is shocking in the world. My king does not want to go to war with Qin, but I am also grateful for your kindness." Virtue, I hope that all the people in the country will become the king's vassals, and all I want is to protect the ancestral temple. I hereby offer the Dukang land to show my sincerity, and hope that the king will inspect it."

King Qin stared at Jing Ke, the sharp look in his eyes gradually disappearing.

He smiled lightly and said: "In that case, please ask the envoy of Yan to submit the map. I heard that the Dukang land is the most fertile and the strategic point of the Yan Kingdom, so I would like to ask the envoy of Yan to point it out in detail for me."

Jing Ke was stunned, and Zhao Tuo on the side was also surprised.

This script is wrong!

According to the rules, this map should have been presented by the waiter, just like Fan Yuqi's head.

Jing Ke and Zhao Tuo only had to sit behind the case and wait for King Qin to ask questions.

In Jing Ke's original idea, only the King of Qin ordered someone to submit the map. In the name of cherishing the national gift and explaining the key points on the map, he requested to present the map in person. In the end, the map was revealed and dealt a fatal blow to the King of Qin.

But now, King Qin actually took the initiative to speak and asked him to come forward with the map, which was really unexpected.

Qin Wangzheng, Qin Wangzheng, you are asking for death!

It seems that God took pity on Ke and helped me succeed. Fortunately, I am so lucky!

Jing Ke was overjoyed. Although things had changed, they were still beneficial to him.

This must mean that even God cannot stand the cruelty of King Qin and wants to get rid of him with his own hands.

The ministers in the palace were a little surprised, but they didn't say much. They just felt that King Qin asked the envoy to present the gift in person, maybe because he wanted to show his favor, and it was not a big deal.

Jing Ke was overjoyed and was about to reach out to get the map placed on Zhao Tuo's case.

At this moment, King Qin spoke again: "The deputy envoy brought up the map. One person will show it and the other will explain it, so that I can feel the style of Yan land."

As soon as these words came out, Jing Ke was stunned, Zhao Tuo was stunned, and all the officials were also stunned.

"Your Majesty, this is not in line with etiquette!"

"Your Majesty, this is not allowed. Just one person can come forward, but never two!"

The two ministers beside Lord Changping looked tense and tried to dissuade King Qin.

King Qin just smiled faintly and said: "It doesn't matter, I have my own sense of discretion. Two envoys, come with the map."

The visitor said: "The envoy of Yan presented the picture."

The king's order has been given, and there is no room for maneuver.

"only."

Jing Ke bowed his head in response.

Zhao Tuo also bowed silently and stood up with the map before presenting the case.

Jing Ke felt something in his heart. He turned his head and took a deep look at Zhao Tuo, not knowing what he was thinking in his eyes.

The waiter led the way, and Zhao Tuo followed Jing Ke holding a slender copper box. The two of them walked to the King of Qin's case under the thoughtful eyes of the Qin officials.

The bronze case in front of King Qin was very large, five feet wide and nine feet long, and someone could lie on it.

King Qin looked indifferent as he watched the two people kneeling opposite the bronze case. The distance between him and the two people was more than six feet, a full step. If anything happened, there would be room for buffering.

There was silence in the hall, and one could even hear the heavy breathing of some people.

"Get the picture."

King Qin spoke, and Queen Zhu's eyes narrowed slightly.

At this moment, even though Zhao Tuo had been preparing for a long time, even though he came from later generations and knew all the cause and effect, even though he had rehearsed many times under Jing Ke's guidance.

But, when the chips are down, how can you not be nervous!

This is a major event that will shock the world, far more shocking than the events of Zhuan Zhu and Nie Zheng!

If it happens, the world will be shocked, and the entire history of China will be changed!

If the incident fails, Zhao Tuo will also leave his name forever!

Jing Ke tilted his head slightly and looked at Zhao Tuo calmly.

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath and regained his composure. He reached out to open the slender copper box and placed the thick scroll on the king's case.

"Exhibit the picture."

King Qin said indifferently, his eyes staring at Zhao Tuo's hand.

Zhao Tuo also entered the state at this moment. He slowly stretched out his hand and began to unfold the map.

With a faint smile, Jing Ke pointed at the slowly unfolding map and began to introduce it.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

"This is the map of Dukang of the Yan State. The fertile land here is thousands of miles away, and the people are abundant. It can be compared to the fertile land in Guanzhong of the Qin State..."

The moment Jing Ke dropped the word "Tu", the map was completely unfolded, and a dagger with a cold light suddenly appeared in the scroll.

See you in the picture!
