The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 547 I Want to See This Sword

Guo Kai said decisively: "Although the king is not here now, I am willing to agree to form a peace alliance with Yan State, and I can also guarantee that Zhao State will never let Yan State down!"

"I can contact everyone. If anything happens to the King of Qin, I am sure I can restore the Great Zhao! Your Highness, you know that the civil and military officials of the Great Zhao, the nobles, all miss the Great Zhao day and night, and the people miss it too. Now it is only because the Qin State is too powerful that we have no choice but to surrender to the Qin State. If there is a chance, as long as the King raises his arm and calls for it, the Great Zhao will be restored in an instant!"

Yan Dan nodded heavily: "Dan naturally knows, who in the world doesn't miss his homeland?"

Guo Kai nodded heavily!

Yan Dan continued, "It's just that this matter is of great importance. Sir, please remember to keep it secret and make sure it is absolutely safe."

Guo Kai nodded: "Your Highness, please rest assured. I know the seriousness of the matter. Even if I contact everyone, I will not say too much."

Yan Dan smiled and said, "Sir, you are a talented person, so I am relieved."

"There is just one more thing that I need your help with, sir."

Guo Kai replied decisively: "Your Highness, please tell me. Helping Yan is helping Zhao. I will do my best and do everything I can."

Yan Dan said sternly: "Sir, you should know that this matter must be successful and there must be no mistakes."

"Brother Dan has mastered the Seven-Step Killing Technique, which makes him extremely powerful. However, he only lacks a suitable weapon."

"The Qin Palace is heavily guarded. It is difficult to hide ordinary swords, let alone carry them inside."

"Besides, his sword moves are extremely fierce and ruthless, and extremely resolute and firm. Ordinary sharp blades cannot bring out their full power. It requires the world's top swords to bring out their strongest power, or even three times stronger."

"You must know that the King of Qin's cultivation is unfathomable. Once this sword is thrust out, there will be no room for maneuver. It must succeed and there must be no room for error. Every minute and every inch of every detail must be done to perfection."

"In this world, only one sword is most suitable."

Guo Kai's face was extremely serious. He spoke slowly, emphasizing each word: "Yuchang Sword."

Yan Dan nodded heavily: "Sir, you are right, it is the Yuchang Sword!"

"The Yuchang Sword is extremely brave and fierce, and it is the most suitable sword style for this move. And I heard that the Yuchang Sword is extremely small and has a restrained aura, which is most suitable for hiding. It is the most suitable choice."

Guo Kai frowned and nodded slowly: "I understand what your Highness means."

"The Yuchang Sword is now in the hands of Princess Ying Xin. Perhaps I can find a way to get it."

Yan Dan was overjoyed and was about to thank him, but Guo Kai continued, "But I also have an unwelcome request, Your Highness, please agree to it."

Yan Dan's heart trembled, and he replied, "Sir, please speak."

Guo Kai looked serious, even a little numb: "I want to see this move with my own eyes first."

Yan Dan frowned and remained silent for a long time. Seeing Guo Kai being so cautious, he felt more reassured.

He made up his mind and said, "Okay, but not in Handan, otherwise we will be exposed. This sword is too murderous, anyone who practices martial arts can sense it ten miles away."

"It must be done in an absolutely secluded and remote place."

Guo Kai nodded: "I understand. I will handle this matter and make sure no one knows about it."

"Now that the important passes of Great Zhao have been occupied by the Qin army, and the royal family has gone to Xianyang, the Qin people have long relaxed their supervision of Zhao officials like us. In a few days, I will be ordered to go to Zhongshan to deal with the local regional division. By then, I can find an opportunity, and Your Highness can bring that expert to find me."

Yan Dan nodded, and the two of them agreed on the matter, repeatedly reminding him that it was a serious matter and should not be disclosed to others.

It was a long time after Yan Dan left that Guo Kai let out a long sigh and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Full of fear after surviving a disaster.

'This man was able to come to my bedroom quietly, and his martial arts skills are unfathomable. Fortunately, he played his part and never slacked off. There were no important letters at home, and everyone thought I was still loyal to the Zhao royal family. If I had gotten carried away after Qin annexed Zhao, I would have been dead by now!'

Guo Kai secretly felt lucky that he had always been careful and cautious in doing things, and had pretended to be a gentleman all his life. His upright behavior had been engraved in his bones.

Any private discussions with the State of Qin would either be conducted in person or, if via letters, would be burned after reading.

As for the Qin State, it has also been keeping me in hiding. I didn't understand it before, but now I understand that it is using me to fish for those anti-Qin forces.

After this incident, Guo Kai became more vigilant and warned himself not to slack off or get carried away. He should behave the same as before and be more loyal to Zhao State and be more cautious in private!
I also need to emphasize again on Lu Xiang's side that as long as I don't have any problems, Lu Xiang's side can also have no problems. My current identity is still of great use. My name can attract countless people who are against Qin. I still need to continue to lurk.

Ying Zheng already had ideas and arrangements for Guo Kai.

Ying Zheng knew very well that no matter how well he did, in the process of unifying the world and in the process of reform, the interests of many people would inevitably be damaged or even completely lost.

There are definitely not a few people who hate the Qin Dynasty, and there are even fewer people who are secretly plotting against the Qin Dynasty.

In this case, instead of the Qin Dynasty going to look for these rats, it would be better to let these rats come to us on their own initiative.

Rats are very good at hiding, and it is difficult to find them if you really want to. However, if you throw out tempting bait, they will crawl out on their own.

Is there any better bait than Guo Kai in the world today?

Being loyal to Zhao meant being against Qin. It was really hard to find someone who was capable, virtuous, prestigious, and famous for being loyal to Zhao. He was naturally the benchmark of the anti-Qin forces and someone that the anti-Qin forces had to win over.

Guo Kai’s great usefulness continues to play an extraordinary role.

The next day, Guo Kai secretly sent the secret letter to Lu Buwei.

After reading it, Lu Buwei was horrified. This was a real and terrible conspiracy to overthrow the Qin Dynasty.

These traitors! Traitors! Evil thieves! Damn bastards!
He actually wanted to assassinate the king. This is such a heinous act that he deserves death!

Great King, the Holy Lord of Heaven! It's the Son of Heaven!

Someone actually wanted to assassinate the emperor. This is too treasonous and outrageous! This is no longer an ordinary villain. We must strike hard!

Moreover, the Crown Prince of Yan, Yan Dan, dared to do such an evil thing, and there might be a bigger conspiracy group behind him.

However, this may also be an opportunity, an opportunity presented to you by the State of Yan.

In any case, this matter is of great importance and must be reported to the king first and await his decision!
Lu Buwei urgently ordered the top-level secret guards to rush to Xianyang at full speed to report the important matter.

When Ying Zheng saw Lu Buwei's urgent letter, he clapped his hands and chuckled, thinking, "That's great! It's delivered to my doorstep."

I was just thinking of a reason to attack your State of Yan and completely take over the north, and now this reason has come.
The Qin State has always been on good terms with the Yan State, and the Qin State and the Yan State have always been on good terms. The Qin State and the Yan State have always been known for their kindness and generosity, so it would be difficult for the Qin State to suddenly attack the Yan State. Even if the Qin State attacked, if it was determined to destroy the Yan State, it would be unreasonable and would have a great impact on the Qin State's reputation.

As the saying goes, if you lose something, you must gain something, and vice versa. In this life, thanks to a good reputation, the annexation of the great cause has been smooth, so naturally, it will also be burdened by the reputation and cannot easily do whatever it wants.

Ying Zheng's plan was to place chess pieces around Yan Dan, and then to instigate a relationship between Yan Dan and King Yan, and then secretly help Yan Dan succeed and ascend to the throne.

Yan Dan murdered his father and his king, which is an unforgivable crime. Moreover, a civil strife in Yan would certainly cause great damage to the vitality of the state. The Qin State could use the name of justice to punish this disloyal and unfilial person, and then destroy Yan State at the same time, bringing the glory of moral education to Yan State, which is also very good.

But Yan Dan was too useless, or rather, King Xi of Yan was too treacherous, and did not give Yan Dan any power to be a loving father and a filial son. In addition, Yan Dan still had some bottom line after all, and the great cause of the unification of the Qin Dynasty was also progressing steadily, so Ying Zheng was not in a hurry.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

In fact, after annexing Han and Zhao, Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to continue annexing other countries. After all, Zhao was different from Han. It was too big. It would take time to swallow it up.

Ying Zheng still prefers to be more cautious, since he has the patience anyway.

But no one expected that Yan Dan would eventually go back to his old ways.

After all, how could a disabled person give him confidence and courage? !

My cultivation is unfathomable and profound. Who doesn’t know it?
It seemed that the Qin Dynasty's speed of annexation was too fast and its development was too powerful, which put too much pressure on him and made him once again choose to seek help from all possible means.

After all, he has an extreme gambling nature in his bones, and he is unwilling to bow down to Ying Zheng. It can only be said that he is worthy of being the son of King Xi of Yan, and the father and son are of the same lineage.

After all, character determines destiny.

That's fine too. Don't miss the excuse that comes to your door.

It can also add some fun to boring life.

The process of Qin's unification of the world cannot be too smooth, otherwise there will be too many people lurking underwater, harboring fantasies and unrealistic ambitions.

Only a cruel execution can bring reality to many people and suppress their unrealistic fantasies.

The fate of South Korea was a case of voluntary submission, while the fate of Zhao was a case of voluntary surrender.

Now it's time for a case of someone committing suicide.

The State of Yan was just the right one. In terms of both its location and size, it was the best chicken to be used as an example to scare the monkeys.

Thunder, lightning, and rain have brought enough rain to all countries. It is time to show the power of thunder, otherwise, the world will lose its awe.

Come on, Yan Dan, your good brother is waiting for you.

Ying Zheng issued instructions to fully promote the plan to assassinate Yan Dan, which was the best excuse to attack Yan.

Also, we must protect Guo Kai. Something like this, where someone was able to sneak into Guo Kai's bedroom quietly, must never happen again.

Guo Kai is too useful, he must not be easily destroyed. Now he has caught Yan Dan, and after the world is unified, who knows how many more people he can catch.

However, we need to think carefully about how to protect him in this incident, how to let him get things done while staying out of it and not ruining his reputation.

It would be best to further strengthen his character of lurking in the Qin Dynasty, seemingly loyal to the Qin Dynasty, but actually enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, so that more rebels will come looking for him in the future.

As for Guo Kai, he had taken too much gold from the Qin Dynasty over the years, nearly 15,000 gold, and other treasures were not insignificant. Moreover, even if a treacherous minister like him had made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng still hated him very much.

After all, it is really hard to like a person who only cares about money.

Ying Zheng originally wanted him to die in disgrace, and the Xuanyu Guards knew exactly where he hid his treasures. By then, all his investments, and even the wealth that Guo Kai had amassed over the years, would naturally return to the property of the Qin Dynasty.

But after thinking about it, I gave up the idea.

Because if it was revealed that Guo Kai was a member of the Qin Dynasty, no matter who exposed it or how, it would have a huge impact on the morality of the entire world, and it would be a very bad impact.

This is not conducive to building the loyalty and morality of the subjects of the world, it is too bad. In the future, the trust between the monarch and his subjects will drop to an outrageous level, and all the subjects will probably follow suit and decline in morality.

In this world, there are only a few ships that leak from the top. Unfortunately, morality is such a ship, and once it leaks, it is extremely difficult or even impossible to repair it.

There are some things that can be done, but cannot be said, let alone publicized. Morality is an inevitable factor in maintaining rule. The higher the moral standards of the subjects, the more stable and convenient the monarch's rule will be, and the lower the cost of rule.

Things like what happened to Guo Kai only needed to be known by a few people at the top. If it became known to everyone, it would cause great damage to the loyalty of all the subjects.

If he is exposed and the Qin kills him, it will have a negative impact on the credibility and morality of the Qin. After all, it is not easy to say that someone will destroy the bridge after crossing it and kill the donkey after it has done its job. This will make other people fear the Qin, such as Hou Sheng and Wei Yong. The Qin has not yet been unified, and this will greatly increase the cost of unification.

And it's not just these top figures in other countries, there are also many other bribed middle-level officials and many favorites of the kings. You have to know that many officials who spoke for the Qin in the courts of various countries were paid, including Wei Liao.

Although Wei Liao's work is not conspicuous, it is also crucial. Many people vote so smoothly because they have received benefits and have some intricate relationship with Daqin. There is always a silent majority in this world. Whichever side has the louder voice, more people will listen to it, and there will always be more people who follow the crowd.

Although there were coercion reasons for the obedient participation of so many ministers and nobles, inducement was also an indispensable factor.

There is another reason, that is, the Qin Dynasty actually used people like Guo Kai, which was even worse, and even Ying Zheng would be tainted.

If Guo Kai was killed quietly and his wealth was confiscated, it would be even more of a loss. After all, someone knew about Guo Kai's affair, and it would take someone to kill him and confiscate his wealth.

What would your subordinates think if you did something like this?
