Ziyou and Jingke rented a small courtyard. As soon as they tied up the carriage, Prince Yan came to visit. He offered gold and silver and invited them to live in the Prince's Mansion, but Ziyou refused. After failing to win over Ziyou, he tried to win over Jing Ke, but Jing Ke didn't agree. Finally, after being polite, he left with his entourage.
"This Prince Yan is extremely well-versed in information. He found us so quickly, and his attitude seems to be a good one," Jing Ke said.
During these days in the Yan Kingdom, Jing Ke came into contact with the rangers the most, and then came into contact with many Mohist disciples. He heard a lot about Yan Dan's deeds from their mouths, and felt that he was a good person. After this meeting, Jing Ke had a better understanding of Yan Dan. More direct to the senses.
"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing the heart. This man looks like a humble gentleman on the surface, but in fact he is an ambitious man. He has been a hostage in the Zhao Kingdom for many years. His desire for power is higher than anyone else." Ziyou shook his head. He said, "Anyone who is close to such a person will become a stepping stone for him to ascend to the throne of power. Brother Jing Ke, it is better to stay away from such a person. It is easy to be taken advantage of."
This is what he inferred based on the memory of his previous life. In his previous life, Prince Dan of Yan used his wife to kill the six-fingered black man who was kind to him for the ridiculous dream of power, and used Jing Ke to assassinate Qin, and finally for his dream of power. , and pushed the entire Mohist family into a pit of fire. It can be said that this is an out-and-out careerist.
In the past few days, Jing Ke gave him a good feeling. He was indeed a good friend. He still had to remind him when he needed to be reminded. He didn't want Jing Ke to be used to assassinate Qin in the end, and ended up with his wife committing suicide and his children being hunted down.
Jing Ke smiled and said nothing, and then began to discuss going to Feixue Pavilion.
"I told you to go tomorrow. I heard that tomorrow there will be a performance by Fei Xue Pavilion's top performer, Snow Girl's Lingbo Feiyan." Jing Ke said with great interest.
"The splashing jade flying flower stage, the flying swallows dancing on the waves, is the best among the seven countries. It is indeed worth seeing." Ziyou said with interest. In his previous life, he was very interested in the flying swallows on the waves in the animation. Now that I have the chance to take a look, of course I will go.
"I heard that this Snow Girl is highly pursued by the dignitaries of the Yan Kingdom. Especially Yan Chunjun, who invited Snow Girl to dance in his house many times, but was rejected all times. Yan Chunjun, this old man, Thieves are also greedy for beauty, and they don't know when they will get it, so they watch the flying swallows dancing on the waves less often." Jing Ke followed Ziyou and gossiped enthusiastically.
Jing Ke had been around the world for several years earlier than Zi You. He spent a lot of time in the Yan Kingdom, so he was very clear about the gossip here. He kept telling Zi you about the news he knew, such as the powerful Prince Yan Pill. The backstage of Feixue Pavilion and so on.
"The battles in the royal family of the Yan Kingdom are not ordinary chaos." Ziyou said with emotion.
"I don't know about these things anymore. This kind of court affairs is the goal of a talented person like you and has nothing to do with a prodigal like me." Jing Ke shook his wine bottle and said.
Late at night, Ziyou and Jingke were already asleep.
In the woods outside the courtyard, the killers sent by Lord Yan Chun were on standby. The leader was Li Zhe, who was also a famous swordsman in the Yan Kingdom. He was ordered to be put down by Lord Yan Chun.
"Remember the mission goal and set off." Li Zhe said in a low voice.
A dozen black figures wandered in the dark woods and soon reached the base of the wall of the other courtyard. Li Zhe nodded and several killers took the lead in climbing over the wall.
At the same time, at the rear of the courtyard, a group of men in black were doing the same thing.
Soon the two teams reached the outside of Ziyou's room. Following the orders of the two leaders, the sound of broken windows was heard, and the two teams broke into the room.
Li Zhe saw the man in black opposite. The man in black looked at Li Zhe. There was no Zi You in the room at all. Instead, there were some killers with sharp swords in their hands.
Both of them had question marks on their faces. Could it be that your Majesty (Prince) sent someone else here?
The other team was sent by Yan Dan. Yan Dan's thoughts were surprisingly consistent with Jueying's. Seeing that they couldn't get Ziyou, they both wanted to destroy him. Even if they couldn't be destroyed, they would use him to attack the opponent. So a team belonged to The killer from the Prince's Mansion also arrived today.
At this time, in the prince's palace, Yan Dan was waiting for the report from his subordinates with a serious face. Ziyou's refusal was already clear, so he wanted to use Ziyou's hand to attack Yan Chunjun.
When he was held hostage in Zhao State, he secretly had contact with the Mo family. After returning to the Yan State, he even formed a relationship with the Mo family's great son Liu Finger Black Man. Relying on his identity as the prince of the Yan State and his attitude as a polite and virtuous corporal, Soon he gained many supporters in the Mo family.
In addition, the Confucians and the Mohists already had a bad relationship, so he provoked some people, and these people decided to blame Yan Chunjun for the Yan Kingdom's decision to assassinate Ziyou, so this scene happened.
Zi You and Jing Ke, who were on the roof of the other courtyard, scratched their chins and looked at the two groups of people fighting life and death in the courtyard. They were also a little confused. These people were discovered by the two when they sneaked in, but no one took the lead. Instead, he hid on the roof to see who sent him.
But what they didn't expect was that two groups of people came. As a person who likes fun, Jing Ke took out a stone from his arms, pointed it at a killer's head and shot it.
The killer felt the pain, touched his bleeding head and shouted
"No, there's an ambush!"
The sound of an ambush woke him up instantly, the sound of swords being unsheathed was heard, and for a while, the entire other courtyard was filled with the sounds of swords and swords and the sounds of fighting.
"Mo's swordsmanship?" Ziyou said, looking at the swordsmanship used by one team. As for the swordsmanship used by the other team, it was a swordsmanship more suitable for assassination.
"Mo family? Why are people from the Moh family here?" Jing Ke scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Although the Confucian family and the Moh family are mortal enemies, the Moh family would not use such a despicable method to assassinate you, right?"
"Of course it's not the Mo family, it's just someone with intentions taking advantage of the Mo family. As for the two teams, I think the purpose is the same."
Just as the two teams were fighting to the death, a sound of horses hooted and a rough voice shouted
"Someone come and capture these people who are attacking civilians!"
"yes!!"
The soldiers shouted in unison, and then there was the sound of bows and arrows being stringed. Whoosh! A large number of bows and arrows were shot at the other courtyard. Some killers were shot dead on the spot. The two leaders shouted when they saw that the situation was not right.
"withdraw!"
Then one person lost his face and got a token and fled first. Yan Yi saw these people preparing to run away, and thought of Yan Chunjun's order not to leave anyone alive, so he shouted
"Don't let these thieves escape. Go ahead and kill them without mercy."
A large number of soldiers rushed to the other courtyard.
"It seems that there are quite a few people who want Brother Ziyou dead." Jing Ke said with a playful smile.
"Since you want to use my life to do something, you have to be prepared to pay the price." Ziyou said with a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of coldness. It was obvious that someone wanted to use his life to make a fuss, and Ziyou was not a fool. Damn it, people of Xunzi's group don't have a good temper.
"Brother Ziyou, do you know who it is?" Jing Ke asked.
"Of course, they are just the two most lively people in the Yan Kingdom's court." Ziyou said.
"You mean Prince Dan of Yan and Lord Yan Chun?" Jing Ke looked at Zi You with wide eyes.
"That's right. If you don't believe it, you can follow that person and see where he ended up going?" Ziyou said, pointing to the back of a person running away.
Jing Ke didn't say anything, his expression was uncertain, and he mobilized his inner strength to use Qinggong to follow the man.
