Not long after Li Xiang left the Qin country, Ying Si officially inherited the position of Duke of Qin. He was self-restrained and diligent. In the court, outside the court, he managed everything in order, but he always felt that something was missing.
Ying Si had the intention of going east, but Qin had been biding its time for a long time during the time of Duke Xiao of Qin. He did not know if Qin was ready. Even if they were prepared, Ying Si didn't have the right talents or the right strategy to plan the strategy of going east.
At this moment, the Wei Kingdom and King Hui of Wei, whose national strength had recovered slightly, were unwilling. They decided to invite the various marquises to Pengcheng, including the Qin Kingdom.
The difference between the so-called Prince of Xiang and a king was that one was acting on his own initiative, while the other was publicly acknowledged by the world. Just like the King of Wei, he had only been overstepping his authority when he claimed the title of king. However, at that time, the Wei Kingdom was at its peak and no one dared to say anything.
"Prince of Xiang? The Qin country will naturally go!" Ying Si finally found the first thing he decided to do, which was to proclaim the Qin Kingdom as king to show its might.
After confirming the Prince of Xiang's date, Ying Si, dressed in black armor and red robes, prepared to consult Ying Qian before heading to Peng City.
" Uncle Gong, Ying Si is going to…" Ying Si slowly walked into the room and looked at the white-haired old man before him as he spoke. "Go!" Ying Qian interrupted Ying Si's words and sighed. "Uncle Gong?" Ying Si looked at Ying Qian in confusion. "Since we're already in a predicament, do you still need me to say anything?”Ying Qian sat on the couch and slowly turned his back as he spoke. "Uncle Gong, teach me!" Ying Si took a step forward and asked hurriedly. "Sigh, since that's the case, I'll say a few more words while I still have strength.”Ying Qian sighed and slowly said. "The hatred between the Wei and Qin countries has been going on for a long time.”"Regardless of whether it is targeted at you personally, the entire Qin country, or both, I'm afraid it will be difficult to avoid.”
Ying Qian sat on the couch and pulled out the Mugong Qin Sword that Duke Xiao of Qin had entrusted to him before he died. He said with a complicated expression.
"Then Ying Si…isn't going?" Ying Si said carefully.
"Foolish! If you don't go, you'll be breaking your promise to the world. At that time, the King of Wei will definitely spread the news. All the vassals will come, but the Qin King will be as timid as a mouse and won't even dare to leave his house.”Ying Qian suddenly withdrew his sword and shouted in a deep voice.
"How do we break out of this situation?" Ying Si frowned and asked hurriedly.
"Let Sima Cuo lead the main army to follow the guards, while Ying Ji and Ying Hua lead the hidden guards to follow closely behind. We should be able to deal with them…From now on, we can only rely on you to adapt to the situation.”Ying Qian handed over the Tiger Tally to Ying Si.
"Thank you, Uncle Gong!" Ying Si received it and thanked him. He then handed the Tiger Tally to Ying Qian." Uncle Gong, this is the Tiger Tally for the mobilization of Xianyang City's army. Please use this time to intimidate the little ones."”
"Take it back. This old man has the Duke Qin Sword.”-- Only Ying Qian dared to say this.
……
The next day, on the way to Peng City, Ying Si indeed encountered trouble. A group of masked elites charged out with swords in their hands. The main army led by Sima Cuo was skilled in battle formations. When they encountered such a surprise attack, they were instantly killed. The enemy was clearly not an ordinary person.
The leader of the masked soldiers killed his way to Ying Si. His martial arts were also rare in the world. No one could match him within ten steps.
Very quickly, Ying Si and the rest were surrounded by the masked elites. However, what the masked elites did not expect was that a hundred meters away, they were also being targeted by a stronger and more secretive team. The slightest movement would immediately kill them.
"I am unwilling."
Ying Si knew that he was absolutely safe, so he immediately had the thought of playing with him. He opened his mouth and said to the masked general in front of him.
"Afraid of death?" The masked general glanced at him and snorted.
"I am willing to fight you one-on-one. If I win, let my soldiers return to their homes and I will die alone.”Ying Si said as he pulled out the sword at his waist.
"Hmph."
The masked general did not say much. He raised his scabbard and slowly pulled out the blade, indicating his agreement.
The two of them drew their swords and charged at each other, fighting. Ying Si's swordsmanship was complicated and strange, while the masked general's swordsmanship was exquisite and fierce. Ying Si had Qinggong, but now he wanted to fight, so he didn't deliberately dodge.
"Ha!"
The masked soldier had also tried to figure out Ying Si's strength. Suddenly, he hammered Ying Si's chest with one hand and took the opportunity to send Ying Si's sword flying. With the other hand, he held the sword across Ying Si's neck.
"Awesome, awesome!" Ying Si exhaled." Your Excellency uses troops like a ghost and moves like the wind. I'm convinced that I've lost to you.”
Hearing this, the masked soldier fell silent and raised his sword, ready to take Ying Si's life.
"Wait." Ying Si suddenly said.
"Still afraid of death!" The masked general seemed to be a little impatient and said disdainfully.
"If I can see your true face, Ying Si will die without regrets.”
"Qin Jun is the first person who understands my art of war.”
The masked general was silent for a long time before he slowly pulled down his mask.
"Gongsun Yan!" The people behind Ying Si exclaimed in unison.
Zongheng-Gongsun Yan
······
"Mister Gongsun, as a famous scholar, you actually used such underhanded methods!”
The civil servant behind Ying Si pointed at Gongsun Yan and said indignantly.
Gongsun Yan was also helpless. As a citizen of Wei, he had followed the orders of the King of Wei to kill the King of Qin, Ying Si. He was clearly a talented general, but he was used for such a purpose.
Don't think that assassin groups and secret organizations are very cool things. These are all underhanded jobs that can't be seen on the table.
"Brothers, my sword cannot bear to be stained with Ying Si's blood!”
Gongsun Yan shouted at the masked soldiers behind him. At the same time, he stabbed the sword in his hand into the ground, turned his back, and slowly left.
"Kill!"
After Gongsun Yan walked ten meters away, the masked soldier raised his sword and charged at Ying Si.
Pfft--
Before they could get within five steps of Ying Si, all the men in black were pierced by the crossbows, leaving Gongsun Yan alone. He looked at the figures that appeared on the surrounding mountains in shock.
"This is a secret guardian that my master and Uncle Gong personally established. What do you think, Mister Gongsun?”Ying Si laughed loudly.
===========
"Great King, will you be able to fulfill your wish after killing Qin Jun?”Hui Shi asked with a bitter look.
"Hehehe, Minister Hui." The King of Wei smiled awkwardly." The reason why I didn't discuss this matter with you at the beginning was because I was afraid that you would be soft-hearted and afraid of this and that.”
"If this Qin Jun is gone, there will be another Qin Jun!”Hui Shi looked straight at the King of Wei and pointed out the meaninglessness of the assassination.
"Come out, come out, he can come out. Which country doesn't do this?”The King of Wei said shamelessly, but his expression suddenly changed.
"But Minister Hui, you must understand that now that Xianyang has changed hands, the Qin country will definitely be in chaos.”
"Three to five years! I don't believe that Wei won't find an opportunity to destroy Qin!”
As expected, this King Hui of Wei still hated the Qin country because he could not hate the Qi country that was still powerful. He could only comfort himself that everything was the Qin country's fault.
"I would like to ask Your Majesty to think about it. In recent years, there has been no war in the western region of Wei Country because Shang Yang was killed, Grand Tutor Li Hou disappeared, Ying Qian was old, and the new ruler was tired of dealing with the remaining aristocratic families!”
"If Qin Jun is killed, the entire Qin Country will definitely be united and share a common enemy!”
"The Wei Kingdom will give the people a chance to speak first, and the other countries can just watch from the sidelines and reap the benefits. Who will send troops to save them!”
Hui Shi's words made the King of Wei feel that it made sense and he admitted his mistake. However, the King of Wei still could not change his habit of putting his emotions into national affairs. Hui Shi could only sigh. At this time, Gongsun Yan was also released by Ying Si. Facing Ying Si's recruitment, he flatly refused and chose to return to Wei to face punishment.
All the men of sacrifice of the Wei Kingdom were silenced. Gongsun Yan barely survived after Hui Shi's statement of the pros and cons. However, he was still not put in an important position. Instead, he was looked down upon even more because of this failure. Ying Si once again set out and was intercepted by the Wei army. This time, he did not mask his face and did it openly. It was during this ambush that Ying Si got to know the future Queen of Huiwen, Wei Shu.
……
After repeated obstructions, even if the Ying Si troops sped up, they still missed the Prince of Xiang's ceremony.
"King Qi, please forgive us for delaying the ceremony.”Ying Si galloped into Peng City and dismounted before speaking to the various dukes.
"If Qin Jun had arrived two hours earlier, he would have become the King of Qin. Unfortunately, it seems that Qin Jun has the heart to be king, but he doesn't have the destiny to be crowned.”The King of Wei stood among the vassals and said mockingly.
"It's not that heaven's will is making things difficult, but that there are villains blocking the way.”Ying Si said with a smile.
"Oh? Tell me." King Qi asked curiously.
"King of Wei, are you interested in listening?”Ying Si leaned forward and asked the King of Wei.
The King of Wei was rendered speechless by this question. He exchanged a few glances with Ying Si and then with King Qi. King Qi instantly understood that it was the King of Wei who had sent people to kill Qin Jun, and he immediately felt awkward.
"The Royal Court is closed, and I still have some administrative matters to attend to in Daliang. If you are free, why don't you tell everyone?”After the King of Wei finished speaking with a straight face, he was about to leave when he was stopped by Ying Si.
"What does Qin Jun mean?"
"I don't have any intentions. I just want to ask the King of Wei why he repeatedly intercepted me on the way!”Ying Si didn't have any scruples and directly opened it.
"Oh, this kind of thing?" The King of Wei's face darkened, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"This kind of thing came from the mouth of Qin Jun, so there must be real evidence. Otherwise, it would be a slander. You have to be careful to ruin my reputation in front of so many nobles!”The King of Wei said through gritted teeth.
" The King of Wei should be careful. I made an alliance in good faith to show my friendship, and I was almost harmed by this villain…"
"Alright, alright, Qin Jun, don't be angry anymore. This time, you didn't become king.”King Qi saw the tension in the air and stepped forward to mediate.
"The Qin country has won a few battles in these few years, but it is still a lowly small country. To think that it would dare to dream of becoming king, overestimating its own strength, hahaha!”The King of Wei did not buy it at all and continued to laugh.
"What? Ever since our King of Wei succeeded to the throne, he has been defeated repeatedly. He has harmed the country and the people. He doesn't think about politics and is actually addicted to being king.”Ying Si didn't show any weakness and directly exposed the King of Wei's scar.
"Ah, please don't quarrel. Peace is the most precious. King Song has already prepared a banquet for the two of you. Why don't we get drunk?”King Qi, who had been watching from the sidelines, saw that the battle was about to begin and hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"Good!" "Give King Qi this face."
This time, the two of them finally stopped, and the surrounding dukes heaved a sigh of relief.
