The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 560 The plan is very good, but no, you have to listen to me (ask for monthly votes~)

Jing Ke then said in a deep voice: "The person who was not selected will have a heavier responsibility. He will have to take care of the brothers' families. Whether the plan succeeds or not, Qin will surely take revenge on him. Death is not terrible. What is terrible is to face Qin's revenge. The road ahead will be very difficult."

"And he needs to tell the world about our deeds. There have been people like us in this world, and together we have done something earth-shattering, something that even changed the world."

After a long time, Gao Jianli nodded.

The person who was drawn was Ren Feng.

Gao Jianli closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he saw Jing Ke in great pain.

And on the side, there was a smiling Ren Feng, who looked relieved but also deeply sad.

"I'll do what I have to do."

Gao Jianli only said this one sentence.

When the few people went to see Yan Dan, Yan Dan was extremely moved. He sent the gold, treasures, carriages, beauties, and servants that had been prepared in advance to the mansion that had been prepared for the two of them. He also patted his chest and assured Ren Feng that he would do his best to take care of Ren Feng's family.

Both of them accepted it. If they didn't, Yan Dan would not feel at ease.

Next, several people discussed the implementation of the plan again.

Jing Ke told the two of them all the details of his plan.

After hearing this plan, Gao Jianli and Ren Feng felt the riskiness of this plan, even though they did not understand the court etiquette and the Qin State's etiquette for receiving envoys.

The biggest problem is how to ensure that Canhong can be brought in. Once discovered, the plan will be exposed and everything will be over.

Yan Dan said solemnly: "Ci Fei and I have already discussed this."

"This time, in the name of celebrating Qin's acquisition of Zhao land, our Great Yan sent envoys to Qin to congratulate. In order to attract the attention of the King of Qin, Great Yan offered land as a vassal. We offered the most prosperous Shanggu County and Guangyang County, more than 40 cities, to Qin."

"These two counties are the richest and most important lands of Great Yan. They have occupied more than half of Great Yan's territory. King Qin cannot help but be tempted."

"Bribe the ministers of the King of Qin and tell them that Yan wants to submit to Qin and offer land first so that Yan can be integrated into Qin. We, the Yan family, only want to be rich and noble and are willing to follow the example of the Han family. Spread this rumor and use this humble attitude to make the Qin people and the King of Qin take it lightly."

"The King of Qin has always boasted of his generosity and humility, and he has always treated envoys from other countries with respect. Since Great Yan is so sincere, the King of Qin will certainly treat our envoys with courtesy and will never do anything disrespectful or humiliating. And his subordinates will never dare to cause trouble."

"I spent a huge amount of money to have someone use Jincheng paper to draw a map of the two counties. Jincheng paper is delicate and tough, smooth and white, like an egg membrane, but it also reveals dazzling golden lines that block the view."

"The map was drawn in four pieces, each six feet long. The width of the piece was two feet and five inches, so there was no need to cut it. The remnant rainbow was only two feet long from beginning to end. Once the map was rolled up, it would fit perfectly inside."

"In addition, I ordered skilled craftsmen to make an extremely exquisite box out of South Sea agarwood, decorated with beautiful jade, jewels, silk and feathers, to hold the rolled-up and bound map. This box is already a treasure and should not be touched lightly."

"Jincheng paper is the best paper in the world. It is very expensive, costing one hundred gold coins. It is made with exquisite craftsmanship and is extremely precious. The only drawback is that it is too delicate and cannot be easily bent. In addition, the map is a land map presented as a gift, bound and mounted with silk brocade. Even if the guards were to check it, they would never dare to open it."

"When the guards check the weapons, as long as we open the box openly, we can also lower the guards' vigilance and they won't have to check the map."

"After all, this map is to be presented to the King of Qin in person by the envoy in the palace, in front of the crowd, and opened by the King of Qin himself. If the map is contaminated, the guards will definitely not be able to bear the responsibility. The most the guards can do is use magnets to check for weapons."

"And the remnant rainbow is made of meteorite iron from outer space, so it won't be attracted by magnets."

After listening to Yan Dan's plan, everyone nodded in agreement, thinking it made sense. In this way, the biggest problems were solved.

All that remains is to act according to circumstances and fight to the death.

Next, all that’s left is to prepare for the funeral.

In fact, there is another biggest reason, which everyone knows but does not say. That is, since ancient times, there has never been an envoy who acts as an assassin. Under such circumstances, no one would have thought that this was another incident that broke the moral bottom line.

However, this matter was too against the rules and too shameful to be discussed publicly, so everyone tacitly kept silent about it.

A few days later, Jing Ke changed his name to Jing Qing, dressed up a little, and was recommended to King Xi of Yan by Yan Dan along with Ren Feng.

However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

King Xi of Yan agreed to appoint Jing Ke as the chief envoy, but rejected Ren Feng as the deputy envoy. He instead appointed Qin Wuyang, the grandson of Qin Kai, one of Yan's top generals, as the deputy envoy.

This disrupted Yan Dan's plan.

King Xi of Yan had his own ideas. The first was that he was worried about Ren Feng. King Xi of Yan knew something about Jing Ke, and he was very confident about him. But he really looked down on Ren Feng, a dog butcher, and he was more confident that he was a descendant of a famous family.

What a joke! How can a dog butcher understand how to kill people? Qin Wuyang has been killing people since he was thirteen years old. Ordinary people dare not look at him straight in the eye!
The second is to guard against Yan Dan. Qin Wuyang is Yan Wangxi's loyal warrior. Regardless of whether the dragon-slaying mission succeeds or not, he is ready to put the blame on Yan Dan and will never give Yan Dan the opportunity to drag Yan Wangxi into the water. This is enough with just a shout.

The third is to prepare to reap the credit after the task is accomplished.

The dragon slaying was successful, naturally, because everything was accomplished under my planning.

Qin Wuyang is only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old now. He comes from a famous family in the State of Yan. His grandfather Qin Kai is a famous general known throughout the world!
Qin Kai was a minister of King Zhao of Yan. He was once a hostage among the Donghu, and took the opportunity to understand the customs, military geography and other situations of the Donghu. Later, he waited for an opportunity to return to his country as a general, led his troops to defeat the Donghu, and expanded the territory of the Yan State by more than a thousand miles.

After expelling the Donghu, Qin mobilized the military and civilians to repair barriers, from Zaoyang in the west to Xiangping in the east, and built the more than 2,000-kilometer-long Northern Great Wall of Yan. Five counties, Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong, were successively established on the vast new land to defend against the Donghu.

After that, the Kingdom of Gojoseon was ready to move and looked towards China. Qin Kai led his army eastward, crossed the Liao River, and brazenly attacked the Kingdom of Gojoseon on the Korean Peninsula, making it cry for its parents. It expanded its territory by more than 2,000 miles again, reaching Manfanhan. If the Kingdom of Gojoseon had not run far enough, it would have been destroyed on the spot.

By this time, Yan State had occupied the entire Liaoning Province and parts of the Korean Peninsula in the east, becoming the overlord of the Northeast. As a result, the Gojoseon State never recovered and became increasingly weak.

After this, Yan State surpassed Zhao, Qi and Han in territory, and was second only to Qin and Chu, ranking third among the countries (only in terms of land area).

Qin Kai can be said to be one of the top three famous and powerful generals in the entire Yan State in the past 800 years. He and King Zhao of Yan were of one mind, and the king was wise and the general was strong, and they achieved eternal achievements together.

Qin Wuyang grew up listening to his grandfather's glorious deeds and great achievements. He always respected his grandfather the most and regarded him as his lifelong idol.

My lifelong dream is to fight in battles like my grandfather, to conquer all over the country, to establish achievements that will be passed down through the ages, and to leave my name in history and be remembered forever.

For this reason, he practiced hard since he was young, although he could not endure much hardship and read fewer books.

He looked down on studying, and thought that a real man should fight with swords and horses, and charging into battle was the right path! Therefore, his cultivation was still acceptable, not worse than that of the elite disciples. However, because he was the eldest son of the family and lived a comfortable life, it was not his turn to go to the battlefield.

After he came of age, because of his family background, he went directly to the palace to serve as the secretary of the Yan Wangxi, similar to the minister of state of Ying Zheng, and became the confidant of the Yan Wangxi.

This time, King Xi of Yan gave him the task. It was easy for King Xi of Yan to control such a young man. The thought of a name known all over the world and recorded in history was enough to make Qin Wuyang dizzy and forget about life and death.

Yan Dan was furious about this last-minute substitution, but he had no choice but to endure it. He also actively communicated with Qin Wuyang and pulled Qin Wuyang into his chariot.

It is impossible to hide such an important matter from the deputy envoy.

Moreover, it is better to have one more person than one less. Qin Wuyang's cultivation is also very high, so he can be considered a good helper.

But what was beyond Yan Dan's expectation was that when he quietly revealed that Qin Wuyang's actual purpose of coming to Qin was to slay the dragon, although Qin Wuyang was a little surprised, he actually agreed without hesitation. Not only was he not afraid, he was even eager to try.

Yan Dan was not worried about Qin Wuyang's loyalty. The Qin family had been nobles of Yan State for four or five generations and had been important officials for generations. It was impossible for them to have other thoughts. However, Qin Wuyang was so straightforward that Yan Dan still felt uneasy.

After repeated attempts, he was sure that Qin Wuyang was only thinking about leaving his name for eternity, and only then did he feel completely relieved.

Alas, this stuff is unreliable. It seems that I can only rely on Cifei.

Moreover, my father must be clear about his plan.

It all went so well.

The financial support, the free access to the treasury, the selection of envoys, the generous gifts of ceded land and cities, all these proved that everything he did had the secret and strong support of his father.

All of this is to allow myself to give it a go without any worries.

Yes, without my father’s support, how could I have achieved all that I have now?

Although he had received support, Yan Dan's heart was now as cold as ice.

Father, father, are you going to give up on me again?
Just like before.

Jing Ke felt both happy and worried about the replacement of his deputy envoy.

The good news is that my good brother’s life was saved.

What worries me is that the person I replace him with may not be very reliable.

In the end, I can only sigh, it's fate. This is just to add a layer of insurance, just pretend that there is no help from beginning to end, after all, people can only rely on themselves.
