The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 549: A Dream of the Moon, Seven Steps to Kill
Moreover, this sword cannot be wielded in a hurry.

A sword that condenses everything must accumulate power.

Although there seems to be nothing unusual when charging.

But no matter what, this sword is still a shocking sword, a peerless sword! It is shocking enough.

Being able to create such a sword move at this age, and with such power, he is definitely a man of extraordinary talent! He is a genius that is rare in the world!

No wonder Yan Dan is so confident, he is indeed extraordinary!
but,

Shi Wei thought about the skills Ying Zheng occasionally displayed in front of these Tianzi secret guards, as well as the occasional guidance he gave.

He still shook his head in his heart. This sword could kill anyone by surprise, but it was far from enough to kill the king.

Moreover, Jing Ke had no chance to surprise the enemy, as everything was under the control of the king.

Guo Kai was extremely shocked. He had never seen such a terrifying sword move. Guo Kai had never taken these people in the martial arts world seriously, but after seeing this move, he had a completely different view of them.

At a critical moment, if such a person works hard, he may really be able to change the whole world.

All this happened in a flash. After the sword move was made, Yan Dan took a step forward, supported Jing Ke and blocked the subsequent storm for him.

At this time, Jing Ke's face was pale, his breathing was rapid, and he could hardly stand steadily, which was in stark contrast to his strong energy and blood, upright posture, and steady movements just now.

Yan Dan supported Jing Ke, and they went to a cleaner place to talk. The place was already a mess. Yan Dan used his energy to regulate Jing Ke's breath.

Jing Ke forced a smile and said weakly, "Mr. Guo Kai, I used 40% to 50% of my strength in this sword. This sword is a life-and-death sword. If you use your full strength, I will follow suit. Please forgive me for not being able to show my full strength. When the big event comes, I will use my full strength. By then, the power will be even greater and it will be absolutely infallible."

When Jing Ke spoke, he was already very weak.

Guo Kai and Shi Wei were even more shocked when they heard this. Such a terrifying sword was not even used with full strength. They couldn't imagine what kind of earth-shattering scene it would be if it was used with full strength.

After Jing Ke said this, even Shi Wei felt a little anxious. This sword was too terrifying.

Then a trace of murderous intent arose in his heart, and he wanted to take this opportunity to solve this disaster that might threaten the king, but he suppressed it in an instant.

He is absolutely, even blindly loyal to Ying Zheng. If the king doesn't say to kill him now, then he cannot be killed.

He also had absolute confidence in Ying Zheng. The king was born divine, a saintly monarch favored by heaven, with cultivation that was unparalleled, just like a god, and no one could defeat him!

Guo Kai swallowed his saliva and praised loudly: "This sword of the warrior is like a comet hitting the moon, like a rainbow piercing the sun, it is really unparalleled! With such a sword, great things can be accomplished! I admire you! I admire you!"

After Yan Dan used his Qi to straighten out Jing Ke's disordered Qi, he spoke up, "Sir, it is because of Ci Fei's peerless sword that Dan Fang came up with this plan. If it weren't for this foolproof plan, he would never have dared to dream of this."

Guo Kai nodded repeatedly.

Yan Dan continued, "Sir, you should have noticed that this was not the power of a single sword. The sword in my hand could not withstand it and broke into pieces. And this is only 40% to 50% of the power. If I had used all my strength, it would have collapsed before I even stabbed the sword."

"This is also the reason why Dan asked you to find a way to get the Yuchang Sword. Only a peerless sword like the Yuchang Sword is the most suitable for Cifei's sword. It can exert the greatest power, or even extraordinary power. Only in this way can it be truly infallible."

Guo Kai nodded repeatedly to show his approval, which was genuine.

It's already so powerful to hold an ordinary dagger. If he holds a peerless sword, he can really kill gods and demons.

Guo Kai said, "I understand. Your Highness, please rest assured. I will find a way to obtain the Yuchang Sword when I return and will definitely make this happen! With a warrior of this level of skill, there is no way this will not work."

Yan Dan was overjoyed when he saw that he had convinced Guo Kai. He felt that he had a better grasp of the situation and could also drag the people of Zhao into the water. Great!
Yan Dan hurriedly said: "Thank you sir! I'll leave everything to you! With your help, great things can be accomplished!"

Guo Kai shook his head gently: "It's just a small contribution, not worth mentioning. It's all thanks to your Highness's efforts and the sacrifices of brave men. How can I not help you with all my strength? Your Highness, please don't say such things again. I am really ashamed."

Guo Kai bowed deeply to Jing Ke and said gratefully: "Everything depends on the warrior. The warrior's sacrifice is heavier than a mountain. The two countries of Yan and Zhao, and the people of the world, all depend on this warrior. This action of the warrior will surely go down in history and be remembered forever! The people of Yan and Zhao will remember it in their hearts and admire it for generations to come!"

Jing Ke waved his hands and said, "Sir, your words are really too kind. I am just an ordinary man. I am grateful for your kindness and for doing my best for the two countries. I am satisfied with my life and I dare not ask for anything else."

Guo Kai said in a strong voice: "This is a brave and righteous man!"

He turned his head and looked at Yan Dan: "Your Highness, there is no time to lose. I will go back and think of a solution. Please wait for good news!"

After the two agreed on how to contact each other, they separated.

At this time, Shi Wei suddenly asked Jing Ke: "What is the name of your sword?"

Jing Ke was stunned for a moment, then slowly replied, "Dark Moon and Deep Dream. You can also call it Seven Steps to Kill."

Shi Wei nodded: "Well, this is really an amazing sword. Jing Ke, you are amazing."

"It's a pity that you are an enemy of the Qin Dynasty. You want to assassinate the king, which is extremely unforgivable and deserves death!"

The night is dark, I am alone in the cold wind, I want to speak but cannot.

The waning moon is hazy, and my soul is stuck in a dream. When will I see the dawn?
The reason why it is called the Seven-Step Kill is not because a person can only be killed within seven steps, but because when Jing Ke broke into the Xianyang Palace at night, he was captured after only taking seven steps into the palace.

That was an eternal pain in his heart, not only because of his own overestimation of his own abilities, but the consequence of that rash action also killed his own heart.

After they said goodbye to each other, Guo Kai and Shi Wei returned to the mansion in the city and dismissed the servants. Shi Wei confirmed again and again that there was no one else.

Guo Kai frowned and said, "Shi Wei, you also saw the sword today. Do we really need to carry out the plan? The risk is too great, and none of us can bear this responsibility. Your Majesty is worth a fortune, there is no need to take this risk, just send someone to kill Jing Ke." "In my opinion, Yan Dan is a gambler. Even without Jing Ke, he will definitely continue with this plan. However, there are only a few masters like Jing Ke, and there are even fewer masters like him who are suitable to be assassins. As long as we change an assassin, the risk will be greatly reduced, and it will not affect our continued progress."

Shi Wei replied: "That makes sense. But we should ask for your instructions first. Your Majesty, please make the decision."

Shi Wei comforted Guo Kai and said, "Master Guo, you don't have to worry about this. The king has great power and has known about this matter for a long time. Everything is under control. It is not a threat."

"This is because he has the opportunity to thrust the sword. If he is not given the opportunity, he will not be able to thrust the sword at all."

Shi Wei snorted coldly and said, "Yan State is a bitter and cold place after all. People in small places have never seen the world."

"How would he know? Anyone who enters the palace to meet the king cannot carry any weapons. For an absolute outsider like this, especially one with a high level of cultivation, he must seal his power even if he enters the palace."

"Moreover, among the guards around the king, there are people who practice pupil skills, so everything hidden can be seen. His sword is really extraordinary. There is no sign before the sword is drawn. However, I observed carefully and found that he actually needs to accumulate strength in secret."

"Only when all the energy, spirit, internal strength, murderous intent and murderous aura of the whole body are gathered together can this stunning sword be thrust out. And this requires time and process. Even if there are no signs on the surface, the circulation of internal strength in the body cannot be silent."

"The people around the king who are proficient in pupil observation are very sensitive to any aura and can see through illusions and the movement of internal energy. Moreover, anyone who comes within ten steps of the king will be closely watched to see if there is any abnormality and whether the internal energy is moving. For someone like Jing Ke who has concentrated all his internal energy, it is obvious that he is going to assassinate the king. He will not have any chance at all and will be captured in an instant."

Shi Wei snorted and laughed, "Only people from small places like them don't understand the real process of meeting the king, don't understand the guards around the king, or think things are too simple."

"Jing Ke was able to stab with this sword because the king wanted him to do so and gave him the opportunity. Otherwise, it would have been impossible."

Guo Kai nodded and put his mind at ease.

Indeed, let alone the Qin State, even in the former Zhao State, if a stranger with a high level of cultivation wanted to meet the king, he would have to seal his skills and would have additional experts and special guards around him.

As for the palace invasion, well, this kind of stupid thing hasn't happened for hundreds of years. Do you really think the palace is a place where you can come and go as you please? Once you come, don't even think about leaving.

Since King Wu established his rule over the world, many monarchs have been killed due to political struggles over the past 800 years, but the number of monarchs who were assassinated can be counted on one hand.

Shi Wei changed the subject and continued, "But everything that happened today still needs to be reported immediately. We still need to ask for instructions on what to do specifically and whether there are any changes to the plan."

Guo Kai nodded repeatedly in approval.

In the secret letter that Shi Wei reported, he exaggerated the power of Jing Ke's sword by half and described it in great detail, saying that Jing Ke only used 30% of his strength.

After seeing this, Ying Zheng estimated that Jing Ke had used 20% of his strength, and then added the power of the Yuchang Sword, quadrupling the power. In the end, he was very sure that even so, there was no need to worry, so he wrote back to Guo Kai and others, telling them to continue with the plan without changing it.

As the saying goes, a gentleman worth a thousand gold does not stand under a dangerous wall. Ying Zheng, with a body worth millions of gold, would not take any risks.

Ying Zheng lives such a comfortable life that he won't seek any excitement for himself.

Originally, he just wanted to find the best reason to attack Yan and add some fun to his boring life, not to put himself in danger.

Even a little bit is not enough. Ying Zheng saw this very clearly.

If it was a risk that had to be taken, then that was fine, as Ying Zheng had the courage to take a chance. But if it was an unnecessary risk, then he didn't want to take it at all.

Ying Zheng has always been cautious and would rather be suspicious than be prudent.

Recklessness is not bravery, impulsiveness is not courage, arrogance is not prudence.

What a joke! I own the whole world, how can I use my own priceless dragon body to seek excitement?

When Guo Kai received the news that the plan could go ahead, he was completely relieved. After all, he would do whatever the king said.

Lu Buwei also created opportunities for him.

It is now May of the twelfth year of King Zheng of Qin. After half a year of hard work, Lu Buwei has basically sorted out the Zhao area. Now it is time for him to bring the important officials of Zhao back to Xianyang.

More than ten important civil and military officials including Lord Jianxin, Guo Kai, Le Cheng, Yao Jia, etc., led by Lu Buwei, went to Xianyang together.

These people will also be arranged elsewhere, and of course they cannot be released back to their local areas for the time being. These people have great influence, so they will first be given a high honorary title in Xianyang, a position with high power but no great authority, to do things that will not affect the overall situation, and then they will be gradually arranged and employed according to their abilities.

First learn about the rules and regulations of the Qin Dynasty in Xianyang, and then be assigned to serve as an official in other places later. Anyway, it is definitely impossible to return to Zhao to serve as an official.

It is impossible to use the surrendered officials of various countries, but they certainly cannot be allowed to return to their local areas to be local bosses. Even if they need to be arranged in their original countries, they rarely return to their original places, and even less often they serve as local chief officials. Fortunately, the world is big enough, and there are plenty of places to be arranged.

The people of Han served as officials of the people of Zhao, the people of Zhao served as officials of the people of Wei, and the people of Wei served as officials of the people of Chu. The four chief officials of the prefecture or county and their deputies all had to come from different backgrounds, so there was no need to worry about any trouble.

If they can still unite like this, then it would be a disaster and a big ghost.

There may be more internal fighting and lower efficiency, but it is acceptable, better than having ill intentions, operating the local area, and plotting rebellion. There is gain and loss, you can't have it all, otherwise you will end up with nothing.

Rule is the most important thing, even if it means suffering to the people. If the situation is really getting out of hand and harming the country and the people, then it is reasonable to kill them all, and you can also win back the people's hearts. Anyway, the people always have a bad memory and always remember food but not beatings.

Win mah, win mah.

When the people of Zhao entered Xianyang, even if they still had some thoughts, they were completely gone. In the past six months, Qin's absorption of Zhao was much smoother and faster than they had imagined. These were the top smart people, and they could see the situation clearly.

It is because he sees it clearly that he has given up certain thoughts and is also anxious to find a new position in Daqin.

Ying Zheng welcomed these people wholeheartedly, not only to save face and win people's hearts, but also to make the show complete.
