The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 216: Frightened Yan Dan

Xi Yi kicked Jing Ke who was lying on the ground: "Speak."

Qing Ke looked at him coldly and said: "Why would a high-ranking official like you have to talk to a commoner like me? If you want to kill me, then kill me."

Xi Yi snorted coldly: "Hehe, it is not my place to decide whether to kill you. It's a pity that you were only brought before me after being caught."

Xi Yi sneered and asked, "I heard that you are famous for your swordsmanship. Is that true?"

"So what?"

Xi Yi smiled and said, "That's good."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Phantom Sword in his hand was unsheathed. Before Qing Ke noticed it, a few breaths later, severe pain spread to his head.

Xi Yi put the sword back into the sheath.

He then felt a light and sharp sword energy, which had severed the tendons of his right hand and cut all three Yin and Yang meridians of his right hand. If he was rescued in time and met a master of medicine, he might still be able to recover. But if he delayed for a moment, there would be no hope.

In severe pain, Qing Ke was sweating profusely, but he didn't say a word.

At this moment, the despair and pain in his heart were a thousand times greater than that in his body.

More than ten years of persistence and hard work were destroyed in an instant. Training in the coldest and hottest days of winter and summer, hard work and unremitting efforts were all shattered by just one sword.

Xi Yi, on the other hand, looked up at Qing Ke and exclaimed, "He's a tough guy, but unfortunately he's a fool."

"Do you think that your great sin today is enough for you to die alone?"

"If you enter the palace without permission, whether you intend to assassinate or have evil intentions, the Qin law will exterminate your entire clan."

"Do you think your Qing family will be safe in Qi? Humph, naive! The king has great power over the world. With a letter from the king, do you think Qi will still protect your Qing family if you behave like this?"

Qing Ke's face suddenly changed and he shouted, "I am responsible for my actions alone. Kill me, kill me."

Xi Yi waved his hand and ordered his men to put Qing Ke in jail. Qing Ke continued to shout, asking for a quick death.

Xi Yi said calmly: "Young man, let me give you another piece of advice, although you may never need it again."

“A person can do anything in this world, but there is a price to pay for doing anything in this world, whether you can afford it or not, you have to pay it.”

"I hope that before you do anything in your next life, you will think carefully about whether you can afford the price."

Qing Ke then truly felt the fear and struggled non-stop, not caring whether he could still use his right hand.

He kept shouting, hoping for a quick death. Everyone has his own consequences.

But it is already late.

Young people are impulsive when they are young, and always regret after they have done something wrong.

But there is no use regretting some things.

There's not even a chance to regret.

Especially in such a cruel era as now.

The next day, Yan Jin hurried to report the matter after the morning court. Upon hearing the news, Ying Zheng could not help laughing out loud. These gangsters always did stupid things.

He actually thought of breaking into Xianyang city at night. He really doesn't know how to live or die.

As for whether there was someone behind this? It is unlikely now.

Could it be Yan Dan? Even less likely, he is not that stupid.

Li Wu's eyes were already filled with murderous intent. This man really deserved to die. Jing Wei's face also turned cold.

Ying Zheng chuckled and asked, "Where is he now?"

Yan Jin replied: "Your Majesty, this man is now imprisoned in the Xuanyuwei prison."

"I have something to apologize for. After Xi Yi captured this man yesterday, he was extremely rebellious, so Xi Yi crippled his right hand."

"Just lock him up first. It's time to let him be useless. This guy should also learn a lesson."

"As for Xi Yi, let's punish him by not letting him eat for a day."

"Next, keep an eye on this man and don't let him die."

"Also, tell Yan Dan about this and ask him not to leave yet."

Yan Jin replied respectfully: "I obey your command."

After Yan Jin left, Ying Zheng smiled at Li Wu and said, "Li Wu, go and inform Li Ji about this."

Li Wu replied respectfully: "I obey your order."

Yan Jin had already sent people to stop Yan Dan early in the morning.

Yan Dan, who was packing up, found himself surrounded by the Xuanyu Guards early in the morning. He was horrified. What was going on? He was leaving tomorrow. Was Ying Zheng going to kill him? This shouldn't be the case. Ying Zheng was not that kind of person.

Yan Dan hurriedly went up to the captain who was leading the group and asked, "Sir, I wonder what happened? Why did you surround my mansion?"

The captain bowed first, then said in a cold voice: "Your Highness, Crown Prince Yan, Qing Ke has been living in your residence all this time. Is this correct?"

When Yan Dan heard this, his heart trembled. Oh no, something happened.

I didn't see Qing Ke get up to practice sword this morning, which was a bit strange. After all, although Qing Ke loved drinking, he never slacked off in getting up early every day to practice martial arts.

But I didn't take it seriously, thinking it was normal for Qing Ke to go out early in the morning to do some work.

Now it seems that I am afraid
Yan Dan forced a smile and said, "Yes, I have known Qing Ke since childhood. When he came to Qin, I naturally had to entertain him well."

The chief commander smiled coldly: "Last night, Qing Ke broke into the palace and tried to do something illegal."

"He has been captured now. Until the matter is thoroughly investigated, please do not go out at will, Your Highness, and wait in the mansion."

Yan Dan's heart was completely in suspense, and he hurriedly said, "Is the king okay? I want to see the king."

"The king is naturally fine. This ignorant maniac, this petty thief, was caught immediately and is being interrogated now."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince of Yan wants to see the King. Naturally, I dare not stop him. I will send someone to ask for instructions. Now, Your Highness, please return to the palace first."

Yan Dan knew that it was meaningless to argue with a small captain, so he walked back to the mansion with heavy steps. As soon as he sat down, he smashed a cup and cursed in his heart: "What an idiot! How could he do such a stupid thing!"

"Damn Qing Ke, it's fine if you die, and I accept that your investment will go down the drain, but you're really going too far to drag me down with you!"

Yan Dan is now filled with fear and terror. The matter involving Qing Ke is of a serious nature. He and Qing Ke have been too close during this period, and everyone knows it.

In addition, the State of Qin had just about to send himself back to the State of Yan, and was about to form an alliance with the State of Zhao to attack Wei and Yan. At this critical juncture, an expert broke into the palace at night and wanted to do something wrong. It seemed that he had sufficient motives to mastermind this matter!
If the Qin State now insisted that it was the Yan State that intended to assassinate the King of Qin, it could kill itself at the same time, and then form an alliance with the Zhao State, and the world would have nothing to say.

And based on his understanding of his father, he would definitely not stand up for him, and might even send another hostage to negotiate peace with the Qin State.

Yan Dan's life is really hanging by a thread now, and his life depends only on the Qin King's decision.

I hope the King of Qin is willing to meet me. There is still hope if they meet. I hope the King of Qin will not be impulsive!

Good brother, you must see me! We are good brothers!
