This time, Li Xiuyuan did not leave in a hurry with Zhang Liang.
Instead, he stayed quietly for some days and taught a group of children how to practice drawing swords and how to meditate and circulate Qi until all the children had completed Qi gathering.
At this time, the recasting of the swords has been halfway completed, and many children can start practicing with their own swords.
It wasn't until the end of autumn that Li Xiuyuan prepared a medicine for Xu Fu mixed with some elixir.
Looking at him, he said quietly: "In the spring of next year, let Zhao Meng accompany you back to the imperial city to meet the King of Qin."
After completing the final agreement with Xu Fu, it also gave him a reason to explain to the King of Qin. Li Xiuyuan was planning to leave. There was a long road ahead, so he wanted to accompany Zhang Liang.
Xu Fu knew he couldn't keep the two of them, so he finally followed Zhao Meng, and the four of them had another drink.
In the early morning of the frost day, when Xu Fu and Zhao Meng were still hungover.
I sat in a carriage with Zhang Liang and quietly left this small fishing village on the edge of the East China Sea.
Lifting the corner of the car curtain, all the grass on both sides of the road is in mourning, and the eyes are filled with a chilling atmosphere. It won't be long before it snows.
Although the snow in Daqin has not yet fallen on this small fishing village on the edge of the East China Sea.
What Li Xiuyuan didn't expect was that the Master actually asked Zhang Liang to meet Dayan's Prince Dan. This was completely beyond Li Xiuyuan's expectation.
In his opinion, he just needs to return to the imperial city and quietly wait for that day to come.
In this world, even the King of Qin only achieved the unification of the territory, but did not unify the hearts of the six countries.
As long as people's hearts are not unified, there will be unwilling people who want to assassinate King Qin! Even if the flood is raging, even if it never comes back!
This is an inextricable knot.
The world has been divided for too long. In the hearts of the six countries, they only have their own land and king.
In their view, the King of Qin's unification of the six kingdoms meant that they had perished, and there would be fearless soldiers who would spend all day thinking about how to assassinate Qin and how to make their name immortal.
Even the aloof King Qin was afraid that monks from the six countries would come to the imperial city to assassinate him.
"I said, Shuzi can learn a lot by staying with the Master this time."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the vast wasteland outside the car, thinking that in the cold weather, maybe the master would take Xiaohei's Shuzi back to the academy. He just didn't know how long it would take the two of them to go to Dayan.
Zhang Liang leaned on the carriage and smiled: "It's hard to say. If Xiao Hei and Shuzi were more diligent and used their mouths more, they might be able to learn a lot from Master."
In his opinion, if these two guys only think about having fun, they will end up traveling around, eating and drinking.
After all, Zhang Liang understands Confucius.
And the Master is an old man who doesn’t ask questions about his son and doesn’t talk about his teacher.
Li Xiuyuan was just the opposite. He only wanted Xiao Hei to learn Confucian principles from his master, and the masters of the academy would slowly teach him the art of poetry and calligraphy.
The carriage drove on the wilderness for two days and finally arrived at the edge of the Yellow River.
The frost has passed and it is early winter. The water of the Yellow River has not yet frozen, and the carriage boarded the ferry and headed for the other side.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the rolling waves in front of him. There were scattered snowflakes falling from the sky. Zhang Liang looked in a daze and reached out to catch the falling snowflakes.
He also didn't expect that it would start snowing in the blink of an eye after the two of them had been out for just a short time.
Even if the two of them crossed the Yellow River and went all the way north to Anyi in Wei State, they would still have to spend several days on the road.
But he didn't know how long it would take to go all the way from Zhao to Dayan?
Fortunately, the two of them were not in a hurry, so they could enjoy the scenery of the North Country and move forward slowly.
Zhang Liang was a little excited after leaving the fishing village. After all, he had never been to Dayan, which was a place he yearned for.
Li Xiuyuan was wearing a rough black shirt, and Zhang Liang, who was afraid of the cold, had already put on a brocade fur coat. In the eyes of a group of merchants crossing the river, Li Xiuyuan was Zhang Liang's housekeeper or servant.
There are even people pointing fingers behind my back. Such a master is too mean.
Zhang Liang smiled faintly and said: "I said you are also the shopkeeper of the wine shop. Is it possible that Xu Fu didn't take good care of you all the way and made you spend all the money?"
Li Xiuyuan quietly looked at the scenery on the other side and ignored Zhang Liang's teasing.
"We are brothers. How about I buy you a leather jacket when we get to Anyi?" Zhang Liang patted his chest and exhaled softly.
"No need to trouble you about this."
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said: "I have long been accustomed to dressing like this. There is no need to waste money. I have to earn money to pay Xiaohei's tuition. Don't you know?!"
Zhang Liang looked at him blankly and said, "It's so thin, isn't it cold?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "Maybe one day, you will get used to this."
…
In Dayan Jicheng, it is already the season when the sky is full of wind and snow.
In a palace, a pot of charcoal fire was burning quietly, giving a hint of warmth to the otherwise cold weather.
Prince Dan in a white robe was holding a cup of hot tea. He looked at the man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a straight nose and said, "What do you think of the future, Mr. Jing?"
If Li Xiuyuan were here, he would hold his hands and marvel that the man sitting in front of Gongzi Dan is exactly the Jing Ke he imagined.
He is also Gao Jianli's best friend, a passionate man.
Jing Ke waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "The ambition of King Qin was known to all the six countries, but did the six countries unite? They were defeated one by one."
The Six Kingdoms have been broken, and the final unification of the Seven Kingdoms has become the general trend of the world. This is a fact that no one can change.
Even Jing Ke could only sigh with emotion.
Prince Dan sighed and said quietly: "Fortunately, Mr. Jing and Mr. Gao are with me, so this long winter will not be so difficult."
Jing Ke shook his head: "The Qin army will eventually cross Yishui. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with His Highness all the time. Let Mr. Gao accompany you from now on."
Jing Ke put down the tea cup in his hand, bent down to pick up a few pieces of charcoal, and carefully placed them in the middle of the extinguished brazier.
After just a moment, the charcoal started burning brightly.
Prince Dan frowned slightly and said, "Time is my destiny, God won't give it to me, what can we do for Dayan with just our passion?"
The situation was about to come true, and even as a prince, he was powerless to save the situation.
Jing Ke's brows furrowed tightly, and it took a long time before he relaxed, with a determined expression on his face, as if he had made a final decision.
Jingjing said: "I will assassinate Qin... If it succeeds, Qin will no longer have the power to attack Yan."
Prince Dan was shocked when he heard this, and even had a look of panic on his face.
He shook his head and said, "Even if Mr. Jing is righteous... Last time there was an assassination in Bolangsha, and now the King of Qin is frightened. How do you get close to him?"
Not to mention the envoys of the Six Kingdoms, even the minister of Qin, Jin Dian Shangli, had to keep a distance of ten feet from the king and was prohibited from wearing weapons.
Trying to enter the heavily guarded palace to assassinate Qin is tantamount to wishful thinking.
However, Jing Ke did not think so, and said calmly: "The King of Qin wants to capture General Fan, and has promised a reward of a thousand gold pieces and ten thousand households."
Tai Dao Dan shook his head and said, "No, General Fan is my guest. I said I would protect his safety."
"Instead of living like this, I believe General Fan will choose to recover his blood debt from King Qin..."
Jing Ke said in a deep voice: "I will take the head of General Fan and present the map of Yan Kingdom to the imperial city. The King of Qin will definitely come to see me... Then there will be a chance..."
Prince Dan sighed and said, "General Fan came to vote for me because he believed in me. How could I take his head and offer it to the King of Qin? Mr. Jing will think of any other good ideas!"
Jing Ke replied coldly: "I am not afraid of death. I believe that General Fan has the same thoughts as me and does not want to live in this world."
Gongzi Dan couldn't help but fell silent when he heard this, because he also knew Jing Ke's determination.
Without enough temptation, how could King Qin, as the emperor, easily walk down the golden palace and see a silent man?
An unknown envoy?
After a while, Prince Dan analyzed: "You need to find an extremely sharp weapon, otherwise you won't be able to kill him even if you get close."
"Even so, you still need a powerful helper, otherwise how can you hold the map and..."
Jing Ke responded: "Let's start preparations now, otherwise the nights will be long and we will have many dreams. We must not wait for the Qin army to attack and then regret it."
"Then it's decided!" Prince Dan said quietly: "What should I do about General Fan? He came to Dayan to seek refuge with me, but now I want to take his head and present it to the King of Qin."
Prince Dan sighed and said worriedly.
Jing Ke slapped his thigh and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to visit General Fan right now. I believe he is thinking the same thing as me and is looking forward to the moment of revenge."
"May heaven bless us!" Taizi Dan said solemnly, "The future of Dayan is entirely in my hands."
Jing Ke nodded, thinking that he would have to fight Gao Jianli to figure this out.
After all, this is not a trivial matter. Dayan's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains cannot withstand the trampling of the Qin army, and they must not be ruined in their own hands.
After being stunned for a long time, he looked at Prince Dan and said softly: "After you find the righteous man, please come and notify me."
Gongzi Dan slammed the wooden table in front of him and said bitterly: "We always have to do something meaningful in this life. We fight for our ideals. So what if we turn around?!"
Jing Ke thought about General Fan and couldn't help but shouted in sorrow and anger: "Even though there are tens of thousands of people, I'm leaving!"
Prince Dan took a deep breath and said, "Let us leave a star that will shine through the ages for this long night."
Thinking about the success of the weapon before, Jing Ke said: "In my opinion, there is no need to ask anyone to cast the sword. It would be best to post a notice offering a reward."
"How do you say this?" Prince Dan frowned and asked, "What if the news leaks out?"
"That's not possible." Jing Ke said softly: "By the time the news reaches the ears of King Qin, I will probably have completed the assassination by then! After all, who is going to tell the truth in these thousands of mountains and rivers?"
"That's great!" Prince Dan sighed and said, "Let's decide like this. I will ask someone to offer a reward tomorrow, because I want to practice swordsmanship..."
Jing Ke laughed and said, "No one would have thought that His Highness would have the intention to assassinate Qin, right? Don't worry, this matter will fall on me."
Prince Dan's thin face showed a look of perseverance. The world was already in such chaos. Who said that the monarch and his ministers couldn't do something earth-shattering?
There may be no such lofty ideals before me, then I and Jing Ke will become those people who are legendary throughout the ages!
Jing Ke secretly sighed in his heart. Just as he was determined to die, why didn't His Highness in front of him risk his own life for a bright future?
He could convince General Fan to risk his life and cooperate with him to assassinate the King of Qin, but how could the Prince Dan in front of him not be an upright hero?
Thinking of this, Jing Ke chuckled and said, "By the way, I haven't seen Gao Jianli for a long time. Without him around, I always feel that there is less fun."
Gongzi Dan was stunned when he heard this, and then he also laughed: "If you see him some other time, let him come and see me. My ears have been itchy for a long time."
Jing Ke clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "I have to capture him and have a few drinks with His Highness, and then play a piece of nature's music that is unique in heaven and earth."
Prince Dan also laughed loudly and said: "Heroes have emerged from Yan and Zhao since ancient times. Mr. Gao is also a passionate man!"
