When Qin Zheng heard what Jing Ke said, he knew that Jing Ke was negotiating with him. The Yan Kingdom wanted Qin to get rid of the Hua family in High Willow County. That was why they would serve Qin as their master. At the same time, they were declaring their rights in the sixteen provinces of the Yan Kingdom.
"The Hua family is so powerful that even the Yan Kingdom is no match for them?
But I heard that the King of Yan has already married his two daughters to a genius of the Hua family, and this person is not even the head of the Hua family! "Qin Zheng looked at Jing Ke and said.
"The Hua family's power is beyond imagination. The King of Yan and the head of the Hua family had a big talk in Ji City. In the end, the King of Yan was defeated and had no choice but to send his daughters to a marriage alliance. The Hua family's Azure Dragon Legion once defeated the Fenghu family of Donghu and blocked Linghu to the west of North Mountain.
Qin Zheng had also heard of the Hua family in the High Willow County, but he never thought that one day they would be able to become an opponent of the Qin State. This time, the attack on the Kang Hou Pass failed. Fortunately, Bai Qi acted decisively and ran away. Otherwise, the entire Zhao State would rise up and attack the Qin State. The Qin State would lose all of its military forces in the Zhao State and completely lose all of its power to advance.
"The Hua family is so powerful before the establishment of a country. The head of the Hua family participated in the Hundred Families Debate Competition as the Saint of Qi seven years ago and won first place. I didn't expect the Hua family to be so powerful today." Qin Zheng nodded.
"The head of the Hua family, Hua Kai, is the first Saint of the School of Novels. His students are all over the world.
The Hua family has dozens of Foundation Establishment Realm and nearly a thousand Connate Realm cultivators. Their most powerful Azure Dragon Legion is made up of Qi Refining Realm cultivators. Even the Yan Kingdom can't defeat them.
The Hua family has a close relationship with Chu State, Lu State, and the grassland states. Their Hua family paper, snowflake salt, and woolen sweaters can be found all over the Central Plains. Moreover, the Hua family has an unusually large number of weapons and elixirs. Many people speculate that the Hua family has an alchemy master behind them, "Jing Ke said.
Qin Zheng knew that Jing Ke had exaggerated the strength of the Hua family and said that there was an alchemy master behind the Hua family. He wanted the Qin Kingdom to deal with the Hua family. But it also showed that the Yan Kingdom was sincere in seeking refuge with the Qin Kingdom. It would be good if the Yan Kingdom was sealed in the grassland. The Qin Kingdom had no advantage against cavalry. In this way, it would not be too late to solve the problem of the grassland after the Qin Kingdom unified the world.
"In that case, the Hua family is indeed a great enemy. I heard that the Hua family is going to establish a country next month. This prince has already sent Qin Jiao to High Willow County to congratulate them." Qin Zheng said to Jing Ke.
"Your Majesty, don't underestimate the Hua family. The Hua family has a population of nearly three million people in High Willow County. They organize at least a month of training for civilians every year. They can quickly organize an army of nearly a million people.
Moreover, the Hua family has formed a united front with the Qi State and Lu State. The Yan Kingdom is sandwiched in the northeast. With the Hua family's power in the grassland, they can attack any checkpoint in the north of the Qin Kingdom at will.
Your Majesty, I have a map of the strength of the Hua family. The King of Yan spent a lot of effort to compile it. Please inspect it! "
Jing Ke had already called himself a subject. He wanted to save the Yan Kingdom and wanted to give the King of Qin the map of the Hua family's strength.
A Blood Dragon Guard came up to take Jing Ke's map, but Jing Ke walked to Qin Zheng first. When Qin Zheng saw it, he raised his hand to the Blood Dragon Guard. He wanted to accept Jing Ke and the Yan Kingdom's surrender.
A few days ago, news came from Xiao Guan that the Yuezhi Kingdom had sent 30,000 elite cavalry to attack Xiao Guan. The Qin army had failed several times. This morning, Qin Zheng had ordered Xianyang City to send 50,000 troops to support. Everything Jing Ke said was the same as what the Qin Kingdom knew. The Hua family was a great enemy, but as long as the Yan Kingdom surrendered to the Qin Kingdom, the world would always be on the Qin Kingdom's side.
The Blood Dragon Guard retreated. Jing Ke lowered his head and walked up the stairs with the map. When Jing Ke was only two meters away from Qin Zheng, the Qin Kingdom felt that something was wrong. The willpower around Jing Ke was actually empty. He could not feel his willpower.
At this time, Jing Ke had already reached Qin Zheng's side. When he walked to Qin Zheng's side and took the last step, he suddenly tripped and the map fell to the ground.
When Qin Zheng saw this, he did not have time to check Jing Ke's true cultivation. He could feel a strong sense of danger approaching. He could not care too much. He hurriedly got up and retreated while summoning his Great Xia Dragonfinch.
Jing Ke knelt on the ground. His eyes were as deep as the night sky. A black dagger appeared in his right hand. The dagger suddenly turned into a beam of light and flew toward Qin Zheng. The Blood Dragon Guard in the hall finally realized that Jing Ke was assassinating the King of Qin. The dagger in his hand was a spiritual treasure. Jing Ke merged all his spirit and willpower into the dagger. At the same time, his body started to turn into nothingness. The dagger turned into a shadow and attacked Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng could feel that as long as this attack hit him, he would definitely die.
He took two steps and saw a huge pillar beside him. He did not care too much. As he dodged behind the pillar, he held the Great Xia Dragonfinch and used all his strength to slash at the shadow of the dagger.
The Great Xia Dragonfinch, which carried the fate of the Qin Kingdom, collided with Jing Ke's dagger. Qin Zheng could feel that the fate of the entire Qin Kingdom was rapidly weakening. A figure suddenly appeared beside Qin Zheng. Jing Ke spat out a mouthful of blood. The dagger suddenly broke free from the fate of the Qin Kingdom and continued flying toward Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng only felt pain in his right arm. A cold, destructive aura entered his body. He lost all his spirit and willpower at this moment. He saw that Jing Ke's figure, which was not far away, started to turn into nothingness again. He knew that Jing Ke was going to use his innate magical power to escape again.
Regardless of his injuries, Qin Zheng raised the Great Xia Dragonfinch and chopped at Jing Ke. Even if Qin Zheng did not have Genuine Qi and Spiritual Power, his own strength alone was not something Jing Ke could contend with. Just now, Jing Ke sacrificed his Natal Spiritual Treasure for the attack. At this moment, his Spiritual Power was also seriously injured. Qin Zheng's attack carried the fate of the Qin Kingdom. Jing Ke could not dodge in time and was pierced through the chest by the Great Xia Dragonfinch.
Qin Zheng spat out two mouthfuls of blood. His consciousness started to blur. The fate of the Qin Kingdom had been consumed, and he had lost the ability to sense his willpower. His injuries and negative karma erupted. His consciousness started to blur.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. When the Blood Dragon Guards saw that Qin Zheng had been attacked and injured, they rushed over. Several Blood Dragon Guards stabbed Jing Ke's body at the same time. The heavily injured Jing Ke died instantly. At this moment, cries for help for Qin Zheng came from the hall.
Dark clouds covered the sky above Epang Palace. The spirit rain fell continuously for six hours in Xianyang City. The Qin Kingdom could not suppress the news of Qin Zheng being attacked. Soon, the news of Jing Ke assassinating the king of Qin spread throughout the Central Plains. The people of the Qin Kingdom were mourning. The aristocratic families of the Central Plains were celebrating. Prime Minister Li Si clarified that the king of Qin was only injured and would recover after some rest.
Of course, Qin Zheng was not dead. Otherwise, the spirit rain would not have lasted for six hours in Xianyang City. Everyone was guessing the extent of the king's injuries. The Qin Kingdom was searching everywhere for spirit pills that could heal the soul and spirit.
Many special mystic realms had been discovered in the Divine East Continent. Many people had obtained treasures from these mystic realms. Perhaps someone had found a spirit pill that could heal the soul and spirit.
On the 22nd day of the ninth month, Hua Kai received news that Jing Ke had assassinated the king of Qin. He knew that the king of Qin must be seriously injured this time. Otherwise, he would not have issued a mission that required ten thousand gold for spirit pills.
The happiest people were the Kings of Yan and Chu. As long as Qin Zheng did not appear, they would have the upper hand in the Central Plains. All the advantages the Qin Kingdom had now were fake.
However, at this critical juncture, no one dared to act recklessly. If any king dared to lead the army and Qin Zheng suddenly appeared, the first to be eliminated would be him.
There was still no news of King Zhao and Zhao Dan. Even Lianpo did not see King Zhao when he sent people to the Yan Kingdom. At this time, Chu began to stabilize the situation in Hanzhong County. It was not a good time to break into the heart of the Qin Kingdom. As long as he could stabilize the advantage Chu had in the Qin Kingdom and Qin Zheng did not make a move for a long time, the world would naturally rise to attack. At that time, Chu only needed to take advantage of the situation to reap the benefits.
For this reason, King Chu even called back the 300,000 soldiers in Hanzhong County. He only left half of the elite soldiers behind. It was enough to defend Hanzhong County now!
The situation in the Central Plains was changing rapidly. No one could predict what would happen next.
In the palace of the King of Yan in Ji City of the Yan Kingdom, the King of Yan listened to the discussions of his officials. However, he did not speak.
The assassination of the king of Qin was not a complete success. This worried him. Although he often told his officials that he was not afraid to fight with Qin Zheng, he knew that he was not Qin Zheng's opponent. He would not be at ease if Qin Zheng did not die!
"Although King Jing is dead, his name will be remembered for thousands of years.
As long as King Jing's Dark Destruction Will comes into contact with him, his vital Qi, willpower, and mental strength will be quickly corroded. Even if Qin Zheng does not die, he will be a living dead! "an official of the Yan Kingdom said happily.
"Also, the Qin Kingdom must already know the strength of the Hua family. No matter how much they hate the Yan Kingdom, they have to consider the Hua family. No matter what, we are the safest. When the Qin Kingdom is destroyed, it will be the chance for the Yan Kingdom to prosper. Now, we just need to wait!" the Prime Minister of the Yan Kingdom said with a smile.
"Now, only four of the seven heroes of the Central Plains are left. There are ten factions in the world. The Qin Kingdom occupies three, the Chu Kingdom occupies three, the Yan Kingdom occupies two, the Qi Kingdom occupies one, and the remaining one will be divided equally between the Lu Kingdom and the Hua Kingdom," the general of the Yan Kingdom said with a smile.
When he said this, everyone nodded. The Qin Kingdom had lost Qin Zheng, but it had Wei, Zhao, Han, Zhou, and many other countries. Its population was close to ten million. Even without Qin Zheng, it was still a first-rate country. The number of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in the Qin Kingdom was about the same as the number of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in the other countries combined.
Also, the Qin Kingdom's army was still the strongest in the world.
"If Qin Zheng is not here, this is not wrong. However, if Qin Zheng is not dead, then the Qin Kingdom has the potential to divide the world. The only countries that can fight against the Qin Kingdom are Chu and Yan.
We have to make two preparations now. On one hand, we have to discuss with Chu, Qi, Lu, and the Hua Kingdom that we cannot stop resisting the Qin Kingdom. On the other hand, we have to expand the scale of the pastures in the northern provinces of the Yan Kingdom. Even if the Qin Kingdom unifies the world one day and we shift our focus to the grassland, the Qin Kingdom's cavalry will not be able to do anything to us without elites, "the King of Yan said.
Many people felt that the King of Yan was too conservative. Some people felt that he should unite with some aristocratic families in the Kingdom of Qi and merge the Kingdom of Qi into the Kingdom of Yan. By then, the Kingdom of Lu and the Kingdom of Hua Xia would have to live under their nose.
