Everything returned to silence. The three young swordsmen sat together, toasting and chatting.
" Come, please drink to your fill. Please," he raised his glass high and downed it in one gulp. He smiled at Jing Ke and Gao Jianli.
"Please-"
"Please-"
Gao Jianli and Jing Ke looked at each other and smiled. They also raised their wine glasses and downed them in one gulp. This was how men's friendship was. Friendship and farewell, kindness and ugliness, were often decided in a single thought. This was the meaning of drinking a thousand cups to meet a bosom friend.
"I saw Brother Zhao's swordsmanship earlier, which master of the Hundred Schools of Thought did you learn from?”Jing Ke, who had a forthright personality, was the first to ask.
Yan Hong's swordsmanship had combined the strengths of Confucianism, Mohism, and the School of Political Traversers. With the accumulation of his previous life, he had long formed a school of his own. He could be said to be a genius. In time, he would become an outstanding figure who could rival the philosophers of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Even though the swordsmanship of the three schools had not been fully integrated, it was not something Jing Ke could see through.
"Haha, Big Brother Jing, you can just call me Zi Huan. As for where I learned my sword art from, I'm not a disciple of the Dao of Sword.”
Clang! The long sword was unsheathed. It was steady yet agile. It was simple yet filled with killing intent. This was the first move of Mozi's swordsmanship, Stick to the Rules.
"What do you two brothers think?" He sheathed his long sword and smiled faintly.
" Mozi's Sword Art!" Surprise was written all over their faces, and the two of them were speechless.
"Yes-"
"I didn't expect it to be one of our own. Little Gao is right.”Gao Jianli calmed down and returned to his senses. He cupped his hands slightly at Yan Hong.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. It's really God's blessing. If someone wants to cause trouble for us, we'll meet our own family members. It seems that my luck is not just ordinary.”
Jing Ke had a forthright personality. At this moment, he knew that his family was already joking. However, when they found out that Yan Chunjun had originally wanted to find trouble with Yan Hong, they did not know what kind of expression they would have when they were used as meat shields by Yan Hong.
"I am Zhao Huan. Greetings, brothers.”
"Zihuan's swordsmanship is outstanding, but why isn't he famous in the Mo Family? With Zihuan's intelligence and martial arts, he should be the leader of the Mo Family.”Gao Jianli's tone was filled with confusion.
"That's right! How about this, I'll recommend you to the giant tomorrow and let you be the leader of my Mo family.”Jing Ke also thought of this point, so he said.
"Thank you, two elder brothers. It's just that this little brother is used to being at ease and doesn't like to be restrained.”
Jing Ke and Gao Jianli looked at each other and saw the doubt in their hearts. However, the other party did not pursue the matter anymore because he had something to hide.
"Alright, since you like to be free and unfettered, then we won't force you.”He raised his cup and drank, showing the heroic demeanor of a generation.
"This sentence is wrong. It should be the three of us. Big brother, don't you think so?”Gao Jianli, who was a man of few words, confirmed Yan Hong's identity.
"Yes, sir! Xiao Gao is right. The three of us belong to the Mohist family. If we hit it off so well, we will be brothers from now on. What do you think?”
"The two elder brothers 'favor is exactly what Zihuan wishes for. Big Brother Jing, Second Brother Gao, this little brother Zhao Huan greets you-haha.”He stood up and bowed to the two of them.
"Good-somebody come! Place the incense on the table. Today, the three of us are sworn brothers!”
After worshiping the gods, the order of seniority was determined. Jing Ke was the eldest, Gao Jianli was the second, and Yan Hong was the last. Who knew what kind of expressions they would have when they found out that they had become brothers with the descendants of the Yan Kingdom?

The main building of Lord Yan Chun's residence was simple and unadorned, but it was full of grandeur and nobility. This was the atmosphere that a noble bloodline that had been passed down for thousands of years should have.
Dressed in a black robe, he sat on the main seat, quietly looking at the corpse. He sighed lightly and said to Shadowless," Have you investigated it?”
"Ruler, according to this subordinate's observation, this person is indeed Young Master Yan Hong. His sword is exactly the same as the Dragon Spring Sword.”
"Oh! Good--”He muttered to himself, using a voice that he could hear.
Down below, Shadowless knelt respectfully on the ground, not daring to overstep his authority because his life and death were only in the hands of his master.
The sound of light footsteps could be heard. A man in white walked in and whispered a few words into Yan Chunjun's ear before leaving quietly.
"Alright, Jueying, you go down first. Be more careful in the future. No one will be rewarded with a thousand gold for the dead today, but the injured will be rewarded with five hundred gold.”
"Thank you Ruler. This subordinate will take his leave."
Everything had been arranged properly. He hoped that he would not be needed, or else…
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
At the edge of the Yi River, Jing Ke was dancing with his sword, Gao Jianli was playing the zither, and Yan Hong was playing the flute. They were all very relaxed.
If one listened carefully, one would realize that Gao Jianli and Yan Hong were performing " High Mountain and Flowing Water ", which was from Kuang Xiu. Boya Ziqi, a soulmate was hard to find. A flute and a piece together had truly earned Yan Hong Gao Jianli's recognition. The distant and majestic high mountain and flowing water were performed vividly by the two of them, making Gao Jianli feel as if he had returned to the scene when he was performing with Kuang Xiu. After Kuang Xiu passed away, Gao Jianli had once again found a soulmate.
The melody was long and lingering, lingering for a long time. It was a beautiful melody, deep and serene, the cold Yishui, and the new green leaves in the early spring. Everything was so intoxicating when it bloomed.
No one knew how long this scene could last. There was always a huge rock in Yan Hong's heart that made him unable to breathe. Jing Ke's assassination of Qin was not far away.
Everything returned to calm. Jing Ke stood quietly by the Yi River, not saying a word. The heroic spirit that made people admire him was no longer there. Instead, it was dyed with a touch of faint sorrow.
Yan Hong looked at Gao Jianli with a questioning look in his eyes. The latter shook his head gently, meaning that he could ask Jing Ke himself.
Jing Ke gently patted his shoulder. He turned around and looked at the caring look in his eyes. He nodded slightly.
"Big brother! I see that your expression is strange. What's the matter?”
" Third Brother, I'm sorry. I'm fine. I just thought of her-"
She-Could it be that the story circulating in the Six Nations is true, Li Ji really-" Eldest Brother. Could Li Ji really be?" He stopped abruptly at this point.
"Yes, sir! She is, she has always been my lover. We were childhood sweethearts, and we had no romantic relationship. I only hate that Ying Zheng coveted Li Ji's beauty and coerced her into joining the Qin Dynasty..." As he said this, his fingernails had already sunk into his flesh, showing the hatred in his heart.
"Big brother, there's something I don't know if I should say.”
"Third brother, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it.”
"The day before yesterday, my close friend Ge Nie sent a message that Li Ji gave birth to a baby boy in the Qin Imperial Palace!”
Upon hearing this, Jing Ke felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue. He stood there in a daze, then grabbed Yan Hong's collar and asked," Is what you said true? Li Ji gave birth to Ying Zheng's children! -- Ah!"
"Big brother! Let go of Third Brother first, and we'll talk about it after we calm down.”Gao Jianli saw that Yan Hong's face was red and knew that Yan Hong was out of breath, so he quickly stopped him.
"Big brother, let me finish. When Li Ji asked Brother Gai to send her a message, she once said that the child was not Ying Zheng's, but your blood and bones!”Yan Hong immediately added after Jing Ke put him down.
"My flesh and blood, my child. I, Jing Ke, have an heir. Good!" Alright! Did Li Ji ever say what the child's name was?”
"It's-it's bright. The sister-in-law said,"You guys thought of this name long ago, right?"”
"Yes, yes, Tianming, do I have to go to the Qin country? I have to go to Xianyang to get the mother and son out!”
As he spoke, he rushed forward without caring about anything. The current Jing Ke was already muddle-headed. Everything was not as important as Li Ji and Tianming. In his heart, he only thought of a family reunion. Gao Jianli saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly stopped Jing Ke. You want to stop me?" "Yes, sir! I want to stop you because if you go like this, there will only be death. Xianyang is the capital city of the Qin country. There are 100,000 valiant soldiers guarding it, and there are even the Yin-Yang School's peerless experts overseeing it. How are you going to save Li Ji mother and son duo! " Answer me…" For a moment, Jing Ke was speechless. Gao Jianli's words had mercilessly shattered Jing Ke's fantasy. Yes, everything was just his fantasy. He had forgotten Ying Zheng's thoughts, neglected the Yin-Yang School, neglected Wang Jian and Meng Tian, and only obsession and hatred remained in his heart!
He bowed deeply to Yan Hong and Gao Jianli and said," Thank you for saving my life, brothers. Today, I feel depressed and want to be alone. I'll take my leave first."”After saying that, she staggered away.
The remaining two young men looked at Gao Jianli and laughed bitterly in unison. They were hurt by love and trapped by love. They did not know if Jing Ke would still be the same Jing Ke from now on!

He was drunk and lay on the official road with his sword in his hand in the capital.
The moon waning in autumn, the wild goose's blood, the sound of ancient cicadas.
The wind and dew hang in the green fields, and the green lamp shines on the zither.
Where do I place my white hair? it still makes a dragon's cry on the water.
