My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1141: You take drunken boasting seriously? Who is a loyal minister and who is a traitor!
Qin Wuyang's scalp felt tingling when he saw the dagger that Liu Yuan was holding with both hands.

Qin was just talking nonsense after drinking too much!

You should praise Qin for his bravery, and then we should drink a cup together, laugh loudly, and curse Qin Chang'an Jun together. This is the way of a warrior.

Who would take seriously the boasting of someone who is drunk?
How come you actually sent a dagger to Qin?

Take this dagger?

With this dagger, you can go and assassinate Ying Chengjiao!

Thinking back to the tangible murderous aura of Su Jiao, Ying Bu and others, Qin Wuyang almost peed again.

Don't take the dagger?
Then the boasting Qin Wuyang had just made would be shattered, and Qin Wuyang's face would fall to the ground hard.

Qin Wuyang, who boasts about killing people when he was a minor and has been reckless and proud since childhood, has no shortage of money, power or women. What he fights for is face. He cannot accept that he has no face at all!
Qin Wuyang was struggling and hesitating in his heart. He stretched out his hand, then retracted it, and stretched it out again, undecided.

Zhao Chuan said in a gentle voice, seemingly with good intentions: "Never mind, it's just a joke after drinking."

"Why did the county magistrate take it seriously?"

"The bravery of Qin Chang'an is known to everyone in the world. How can the county governor sit idly by and watch Brother Wuyang lose his life in vain?"

"Brother Wuyang, you must think twice before you act. Don't act rashly because of your passion!"

Liu Yuan's eyes widened: "What do you mean you lost your life in vain?"

"Brother Wuyang's bravery is known to everyone in the world. As long as Brother Wuyang makes a move, he will take the life of Qin Chang'an."

"Is it possible that the County Magistrate Zhao looked down on my dear brother Wuyang?"

Qin Wuyang wanted to take advantage of the situation but he didn't know how to start without losing face. The officials who always helped him out of trouble were all silent and just stared at him with burning eyes.

In Qin Wuyang's view, these gazes could pierce his heart more than the tips of knives or arrows!
"Homeowner!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the door, and an old man ran into the yamen right after him, rescuing Qin Wuyang, who was breathing rapidly and was embarrassed and ashamed.

Facing Zhao Chuan's dissatisfied gaze, the old man ran all the way to Zhao Chuan's side, presented a scroll of bamboo slips with both hands, and whispered: "Li Zishi sent his servant to deliver a letter!"

When Zhao Chuan heard that the letter was from Li Ke, he felt uneasy.

Zhao Chuan knew that they used Qin Wuyang's family background as an entry point and deceived Li Ke into introducing him to plan for the future of the people of Yan. They could deceive Qin Wuyang but not Li Ke.

Zhao Chuan gritted his teeth and opened the letter, expecting to be met with a barrage of insults, but the words in the letter were far beyond his expectations!
"Hiss~" Zhao Chuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Liu Yuan and the others and said repeatedly: "Li Zishi said that Qin Chang'an has respected the righteous men of Yan for a long time because of the past deeds of Jiang Qu, Qin Kai and other righteous men of Yan. Li Zishi also lobbied for us and finally persuaded Qin Chang'an not to treat us like other people of the fallen country, but to show us more kindness."

"Qin Chang'an Jun is the commander-in-chief of the Qin army and a well-known hero in the world. The request that has been made will not change."

"But as long as we can make Qin Chang'an Jun see our loyalty and sincerity, he will promote the young and strong men in our tribe to join the Qin army, follow Qin Chang'an Jun to the north to Donghu to gain military merit, and be awarded titles according to merit like the Qin army soldiers!"

"And if we surrender the city to Qin, Qin Chang'an Jun will be willing to be severely punished by the King of Qin in the future, and will also reward us with an official position below 2500!"

"Those who return to Qin first will have the opportunity to follow Qin Chang'an Jun to the north to fight against the Donghu, which is an unprecedented achievement!"

Liu Yuan threw the dagger in his hand onto the table and asked in surprise, "Zhao Juncheng, do you think this is true?"

Zhao Chuan said without hesitation: "Li Zishi is a marquis, and he even surrendered to Qin as the prime minister. His words cannot be trusted."

"But Qin Chang'an is a famous gentleman in the world, and he has never said even a single false word in his life."

"Qin Chang'an Jun's words are trustworthy!"

There was a sound of people sucking in their breaths of shock in the county government office.

They had already begun to waver in their hearts at the humiliating demands that Qin Wuyang brought back, and now faced with the conditions offered by Li Ke, many officials even felt dazed.

Are the conditions so good?
Could this be a trick?
Liu Yuan licked his lips dryly, and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back: "If you show your sincerity, you can send your clan members to join the army. If you surrender the whole city, you can become a general in the army."

"This is just the reward offered by Qin Chang'an Jun. If we really surrender voluntarily, King Qin will definitely give us another reward!"

"What do you think, colleagues?"

Zhao Chuan spoke first, and said in a decisive voice: "My colleagues all know that Qin has already defeated the coalition forces and destroyed the state of Zhao. It has concentrated its forces and is advancing from the west, north, and south by water to the outside of the pass."

"I think the State of Yan is in imminent danger!"

"In this critical moment, the king not only did not send more troops to the front line, but instead led the main force of our Great Yan, important ministers and generals, as well as a group of concubines and princes to the north to Donghu."

"I thought that the king had no intention of returning to Yandi when he went north this time!"

"We are nominally defending the territory for the king, but in reality we are nothing more than the king's abandoned pawns. Once the Qin army arrives, the king will surely abandon us."

"If the ruler treats his subjects like dirt, then the subjects will treat the ruler like an enemy!"

"Since the king wants to abandon us, we should return Liaoxi County to Qin!"

Qin Wuyang's eyes widened, and he shouted in shock: "What did you say?!"

"Return to Qin?!"

"Mr. Zhao, don't forget that everything we have now was given by the king, and we are the king's subjects. How could we commit rebellion!" Qin Wuyang is fundamentally different from Zhao Chuan, Liu Yuan and others.

It is true that the vital interests of Zhao Chuan, Liu Yuan and others are closely related to the State of Yan, but they themselves are important ministers. If they surrender to Qin, although they will lose everything they have now, they can not only obtain military positions in the Qin army, but also receive courtesy in the Qin State, and do not have to start from scratch.

But Qin Wuyang is different. Everything Qin Wuyang has depends on Yan general Qin Kai. If Yan State survives, the ruler and ministers of Yan State will more or less respect Qin Wuyang for his achievements. The wealth left by Qin Kai is enough for Qin Wuyang to live a rich life. But if Yan State perishes, the wealth left by Qin Kai will be taken away by Qin State, and Qin Wuyang will no longer have enough food and clothing. The people whose families have been bullied and killed by Qin Wuyang will immediately come to Qin Wuyang for revenge.

As for Qin Wuyang's voluntary surrender? Qin Wuyang was just a commoner, with no official position or title. Even if Qin Wuyang voluntarily surrendered, the Qin State was too lazy to accept him!
Therefore, all the officials in the yamen can choose to surrender, but Qin Wuyang will definitely not choose to surrender!

Zhao Chuan looked at Qin Wuyang without the usual gentleness. Instead, he angrily scolded him, "You cowardly pig-headed man!"

"Qin Chang'an Jun clearly has good intentions towards us. We can win his magnanimity with just some lobbying."

"But instead of lobbying, you angered Lord Qin Chang'an, causing him to set such conditions in public, and it was inconvenient for him to change his mind afterwards."

"I shouldn't have sent you to Qin to lobby just because you are the grandson of General Qin Kai!"

Qin Wuyang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets: "What did you say?!"

"How dare you insult Qin!!!"

Qin Wuyang was about to explode with anger!
A group of Liaoxi officials cast angry glances at Qin Wuyang.

A waste that fails to succeed but fails to succeed!
Too lazy to pay attention to Qin Wuyang, a group of Liaoxi County officials spoke out quickly or slowly:
"I have no intention of returning to Qin. I only wish to fight against the Donghu in the north to avenge the Yanhu. To avenge this, I will have no regrets even if I return to Qin!"

"I really don't want to be unworthy of Your Majesty's kindness, but, just, I really can't bear to see my men die in vain!"

"The king has abandoned us to cover his retreat, so why should we be loyal to him? We only wish to follow the county magistrate and return to Qin with him!"

As long as there is a glimmer of hope for victory, they will not all choose to surrender.

If King Xi of Yan was still in Yan, they would not all choose to surrender.

Unfortunately, there is no if in reality.

These officials chosen by King Xi of Yan to cover the retreat had no awareness of dying for the State of Yan. King Xi's march north also meant that their families were no longer under his control and they had no worries.

He gave up the power that was about to be completely lost, and the money and power that could be taken away by Ying Chengjiao at any time, in exchange for the possibility of becoming a general in the Qin State.

value!
Seeing that everyone agreed, Liu Yuan laughed loudly: "Since this is what my colleagues want, I will not go against their will."

"This matter is settled!"

Liu Yuan showed a relaxed look for the first time in a long time: "Last time, we had many misunderstandings and slanders against Li Xiang. We did not tell him the plan frankly, which almost harmed him. However, Li Xiang did not hold a grudge and still spoke up for us."

"I think we should give Prime Minister Li a generous gift to express our apology and thank him for his kindness!"

Before surrendering, Li Ke was the enemy who betrayed them, so he should be on guard and careful.

After surrendering, Li Ke became their leader, and more likely their benefactor, so it would never be too much to please him!

Zhao Chuan and other officials nodded in agreement: "What the county governor said is very true!"

Qin Wuyang was stunned to see that Liu Yuan, Zhao Chuan and others, who were shouting that they were willing to die for the State of Yan just a quarter of an hour ago, were now chatting and laughing about bribing Li Ke and planning to return the county to Qin.

Liu Yuan, Zhao Chuan and others, who had just called Qin Wuyang a brave warrior and his good brother, no longer paid any attention to him who was no longer of any value to them.

Qin Wuyang was shocked and angry at their shamelessness.

Their disregard was like a slap in the face of Qin Wuyang, making Qin Wuyang deeply understand what kind of situation would be waiting for him after the demise of Yan State!
"A bunch of rats!" Qin Wuyang glared at Liu Yuan and the others, angrily scolding: "You are unworthy of the king's kindness!"

"But my three generations have all received Your Majesty's kindness and loyalty. I will never betray Your Majesty!"

Filled with passion, Qin Wuyang grabbed the dagger on the table and turned away!
Zhao Chuan immediately stood up and shouted, "Someone come!"

Liu Yuan waved his hand and said, "After all, he is the grandson of General Qin Kai, and Qin Kai is respected by Lord Qin Chang'an. If we kill him, I am afraid that Lord Qin Chang'an will be annoyed."

Zhao Chuan said worriedly: "But this man left with a dagger, and he is impulsive and easily angered. I am worried that he will really go and assassinate Qin Chang'an Jun, and ruin our great plan!"

Liu Yuan looked at Qin Wuyang's back and sneered, "No problem, he's just a strong boy who has been used to having everything go his way since childhood."

"He has a noble bloodline, a poor family background, and is easily deceived by pig brains. He can be used for one thing."

"He appears to be fierce but is weak, good at private fighting but lacks great courage, so he is not to be feared."

"If he really had the guts to assassinate Qin Chang'an Jun, how could he return here?"

"Don't bother."

"It won't take more than a few days for his blood and courage to drain out of himself."

"My fellow colleagues, let's discuss the matter of returning to Qin first!"

Turning back and sitting down, Liu Yuan said solemnly: "If we want to return to Qin, we must hurry up and surrender before the king is defeated or surrenders."

"In this way, we are surrendered generals instead of defeated generals. We can also give all the detailed information about the main force of the Yan army to Qin Chang'an Jun to win his goodwill!"
