Chapter 5 Assassination of the King of Qin(1/2)

This is the fourth day of the fire falling from the sky.

The sunset in the distant sky has gradually restrained its dazzling light and turned into a red sun hanging in the sky.

The last light rendered a pale yellow dusk mark on the entire earth, and the sunset ended on the distant mountains.

Under the sky, at the border between Qin and Zhao, a group of people were moving forward carefully on the wasteland on the border.

"Madam, the young master will arrive at the Qin border immediately in front of you."

Even though it was half a day before we reached the border of Qin, Zhao Ping, the head of the team, still did not dare to neglect the slightest.

In his life, he was able to escort the wife and son of a prince of a vassal state like Daqin, which was already the pinnacle of his life.

"Um!"

The beautiful woman who opened the door curtain in the car nodded and signaled that she knew.

Then she pulled the curtain on the car, turned her head and said softly to the young man who was only about ten years old in the car, "Zheng'er, we are about to arrive in Qin State. You are not far from seeing your father."

The young man was dressed in a gorgeous manner, but he still felt majestic.

His eyebrows were mature incomplete with his age.

Ten years old can no longer be considered a young age in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Children in troubled times will have a long mind.

Especially for a young man who was hunted by Zhao people throughout his childhood, his character is much more than ordinary people.

"Um."

The young man named Zheng'er responded softly and nodded to indicate that he had already known and would not say too much.

No one knows what he is thinking.

Only he knew that his mind was not on Qin, where he was about to go back, nor on his father who was about to meet.

His mind was still on the strange man who fell from the sky after the car behind him.

On the second day of the strange man's arrival, Zhao State released the mother and son and returned to Qin.

Zhao Zheng always thought it was that weird guy who was protecting them. He knew it was ridiculous, but that was what he thought.

Stunningly pretending.

Strange words.

What's even more strange is the way he appears.

Falling from the sky, did he live in heaven?

The young man gently lifted up a trace of the curtain on the car and looked into the distant sky.

Looking at the clouds with a layer of gold edges on the sky above the sunset, Zhao Zheng imagined the scene outside the clouds in his mind.

There may be a palace there!

I just don’t know what the palace that is driving above the sky will look like.

Thoughts echoed in Zhao Zheng's mind.

But the team will not stay because of his thinking.

In the slight long wind, the carriage followed the escort team sent by Zhao toward Qin.

The car was riding on the wooden wheel and making a "crying" sound.

It's like the dream of an unknown creature.

The Qin and Zhao border are sparsely populated, with only the long sky and sunset, accompanied by slightly withered wild grass.

From time to time, you can see messy dead bones and rusty remains of weapons next to the weeds.

They show the impermanence of this world.

Zhao Ping was wearing armor, his hands were placed on the long sword, and he looked at the dead bones everywhere with a slight heart.

During this period, he may have been familiar with him, but they are now lonely ghosts.

"I really don't know when this world will end!"

Zhao Ping sighed.

Today is him looking at the dead bones all over the ground, and tomorrow may be someone else looking at him.

No one can tell how impermanent the world is.

After careful calculation, since 770 BC, when the Zhou emperor moved east to Luoyi, the war on this land has lasted for more than five hundred years.

The ritual system that the Zhou clan relied on to govern the country was divided into Jin as early as the three families, and the Chen Tian clan had completely collapsed after the reign of Qi.

War, killing, strategy and reform are the main themes of this era.

At this time, Qin Xiaowen, King Qin of Qin, became the new King of Qin.

In order to ease the relationship between Qin and Zhao, Zhao State had to send Zhao Ji, the wife of Zichu, who was made the crown prince, back to Qin State.

Because ten years ago, when Qin and Zhao Changping fought, the killing god Bai Qi and Changping had already smashed the spirit of Zhao State, and because the war between Yan and Zhao State did not allow Zhao State to have other threats.

At this time, it is already a fantasy that the world can compete with Qin with its own strength.

However, this does not mean that Qin can unify the world.

In the five hundred years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, starting from the Xiaoba Zhongyuan Duke of Zheng Zhuang, Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, King Zhuang of Chu, and Duke Mu of Qin were not the great overlords.

But no one can stand out in the world for a long time.

Everyone said: Wealth is only rich for three generations, but in fact, most of the British masters even declined in second generations.

Western Qin is already lucky enough. Since King Xiaowen of Qin, four generations of wise monarchs have emerged. In the eyes of everyone, the luck of Western Qin is almost exhausted.

Everyone is waiting for the decline of Qin State. Perhaps this newly promoted Qin King (King Xiaowen of Qin) is a foolish monarch.

But not everyone is waiting. Some people are still unwilling to be strong in Qin, and what they choose is to take the initiative.

No one in the world can compete with Qin.

However, it can join forces and unite the troops of the world, and resist Qin soldiers outside Hangu.

The Qin State lived west of Hangu Pass, and the six countries lived east of Wushan. The six countries had the power to defeat the Qin State's eastward prospect.

In the past, Su Qin and Xinling Jun achieved such a feat.

The former is sealed by the six kingdoms, while the latter is united with the military armor of the five kingdoms, which has left no one to leave Hangu Pass for many years.

This is the only opportunity.

Twilight gradually enveloped the entire earth, and darkness slowly became the main color of everything.

The escorted team ignited a few flames on the ground.

In the distance between Zhao Ji and his son's convoy, a team of people lurking in the weeds at the Qin and Zhao border.

Looking at the convoy where torches were lit in the distance, the middle-aged man in charge whispered:

"Here you come!"

In the darkness, they were like lurking hunters, waiting little by little for the prey to enter the lurking.

I guessed that the distance from the convoy was already much different, and the middle-aged man reminded him for the last time:

"Remember! We are from Zhao!"

"promise!"

Among the weeds, dozens of people nodded in unison.

Their eyes were staring at the carriage coming in from a distance, while their hands were placed on the crossbow, with murderous intent in their eyes.

There were not many soldiers from Zhao State who escorted Zhao Ji and his son. After all, the monarch of Zhao State did not expect anyone to intercept Zhao Ji and his son.

Zhao Ji and his son are just the wife and descendants of the prince of Qin, and they are not considered the crown prince.

What's the point of intercepting them?

But there are always eyes in the world that can transcend the times, and they can clearly see the threat of Qin.

For the little opportunity of Hezong, they didn't care about achieving this overall situation with the lives of Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng.

Those who consider the overall situation, why not be afraid of small matters?

After the night fell into darkness, a fire lit up the sky in Muye's sky.

Then dozens of fire lights soared into the sky.

The sharp arrows roar.

Zhao Ping looked at the rocket flying towards him and drew his sword and said in surprise:

"Enemy attack!"

For a moment, the formation of the carriage team began to scatter.

The horse pulling the cart was frightened and began to become restless.

The sound of soldiers drawing their swords, the neighing of horses, and the sound of long arrows breaking through the air, the chaotic sounds surrounded the entire car.
To be continued...
