Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Chapter 104 Yan Dan, Jing Ke

"Exchange the Azure Jade Liquid Bottle for the jade bracelet?"

Yan Chunjun was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Change it, change it, of course we'll change it!"

Even if Ying Jing offered a stone in exchange, Lord Yanchun would not refuse, let alone a treasure like the Jade Ocean Vessel.

After agreeing to the exchange, Yan Chunjun suddenly turned pale.

"No, no, no, since Lord Changxin has the discerning eye to appreciate my jade bracelets, please take them. There is no need to exchange them!"

What is a mere Azure Jade Wine Bottle? The most important thing is to maintain a good relationship with Lord Changxin.

Although they were both feudal lords, and even though Lord Yanchun had a greater influence in Yan than Ying Jing did in Qin, Lord Changxin was the one who made the money!

What matters most is that it brings in bright, shiny gold.

It must be said that although Ying Jing's partners were all treacherous and powerful officials, they were also all shrewd and capable of adapting to changing circumstances.

At least when it's profitable, they're all very easy to talk to.

"Then thank you very much, Lord Yanchun,"

Ying Jing didn't stand on ceremony with him.

Yan Chunjun has earned quite a bit over the years, so it's only right that he presents two jade bracelets as a token of his respect.

However, seeing Ying Jing accept the jade bracelet, Yan Dan in the corner turned ashen-faced.

When Lord Changxin was sent as an envoy to the State of Zhao, he endured the hardships of keeping a low profile throughout the journey, and finally managed to persuade his master, the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist school, to help him escape.

With a top expert like Six-Fingered Black Knight who has mastered the "Domain," and with the assistance of the Mo family's Vermilion Bird Mechanism, this should have been a sure thing.

As a result, they were blocked by an army of several thousand men from the State of Zhao.

Faced with the army's encirclement and attack, Six-Fingered Black Knight could only escape with serious injuries, and Yan Dan was also captured.

What a coincidence! They were ambushed by the Zhao army as soon as they left!

Afterwards, Yan Dan and Six-Fingered Black Knight reviewed and discussed the incident, and they understood the situation.

The reason he was arrested in the first place was clearly because this seemingly kind but actually ruthless Lord Changxin leaked his information.

hatred!

The more I think about it, the more I hate it!

Yan Dan clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, drawing blood.

If he hadn't been arrested back then, how could his position as crown prince be in such an awkward situation now!

The State of Yan was no match for the State of Zhao to begin with, suffering repeated defeats and even having to exchange for the captured crown prince... The ultimate price paid was extremely high.

Therefore, Yan Dan was not well received after returning to China.

Although he was the crown prince, he had little real power, his position was awkward, and no talented people would come to him.

He could only rely on his identity as a disciple of the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist school, to make friends with some martial arts heroes.

Even so, he did not give up and actively participated in court affairs, wanting to get involved in every possible aspect.

He wanted to prove to the King of Yan that with such a crown prince, the future of the Yan Kingdom was promising!

But all of this was ruined by Lord Yanchun!

With Uncle Yanchun around, Yan Dan simply couldn't get anything done smoothly.

Initially, Yan Dan wanted to place his people in the court, but as soon as a suitable position became available, Yan Chunjun's people would immediately take it, making it impossible for him to compete.

He wanted to open a restaurant to gather intelligence, but ended up being extorted for protection money by several gangs.

So Yan Dan wanted to recruit several gang members so that he would have people to do things, but it turned out that the gangs were also backed by Yan Chunjun.

He also saw the cooperation between Yan Chunjun and Ying Jing... and wanted to set up a business association to make money.

As a result, when they sent people to Hanoi, they didn't even get to see Ying Jing. Zhao Gao told them that Lord Changxin only chooses one person to cooperate with in a country.

Even the daughter of a general whom Yan Dan had his eye on, who could solidify the crown prince's position, was married off to someone else by Yan Chunjun ahead of time.

If we're talking about hatred, Yan Dan's first hatred is for Lord Yanchun, and only second is for Ying Jing.

But now, these two people who hate each other the most have become friends, laughing and chatting happily.

How could Yan Dan not hate this!

But he could do nothing but hate.

Even Lord Yanchun restricted the Crown Prince in every way, let alone Lord Changxin of Qin, who held the deadly weapon of the Net.

“That is Crown Prince Yan Dan of my Yan state. I heard that Lord Changxin accompanied him when he was sent as an envoy to the Zhao state, so we must be old acquaintances.”

"To have seen you today, yet you did not come to pay your respects; you truly do not understand etiquette."

Seeing that Ying Jing accepted the jade bracelet, Yan Chunjun was overjoyed. At the same time, he noticed that Ying Jing's gaze was slightly fixed on Yan Dan, and he couldn't help but say a few bad things about him.

The underground hall was only so big, so Yan Dan could hear Yan Chunjun's words very clearly.

At this moment, no matter how much dissatisfaction or how deep the hatred, Yan Dan could only forcefully suppress it in his heart.

He stepped forward and came to Ying Jing's side.

"Several years have passed since we last met. Lord Changxin is even more handsome than before. I dare not recognize him at first, so I have not come to pay my respects. I hope Lord Changxin will not be offended."

It sounds nice when you say it, but the reasons aren't very convincing.

Ying Jing's identity was not hidden; it had already been revealed by Lord Yanchun during the exchange of treasures.

If Yan Dan were to say that now, it would seem somewhat hypocritical.

Yan Chunjun immediately looked at Yan Dan with a cold smile, but considering that Ying Jing was still there, he did not speak.

Jing Ke seemed puzzled but remained silent. Han Fei, on the other hand, stood aside, watching the scene with a faint smile, looking somewhat reluctantly at the Jade Ocean Bottle that Ying Jing was playing with in his hand.

Ying Jing was too lazy to bother with such a trivial matter.

"Don't be offended?"

Ying Jing emphasized it again.

"Although Jing is Lord Changxin of Qin, Crown Prince Dan is the Crown Prince of Yan. How can you blame him?"

"Why is Prince Dan so humble and subservient? Do you perhaps think that the State of Yan is inferior to the State of Qin?"

As he spoke, Ying Jing put down the jade bottle he was playing with and took the jade bracelet that Yan Chunjun had brought from the jade shelf to examine it carefully.

"Yes, it is indeed a fine jade, and the workmanship is also exquisite. It feels smooth and warm to the touch, without any flaws."

He still had a smile on his face, and it was even a very gentle smile, as if he were just chatting casually with a friend.

But Yan Dan is unable to relax now.

This Lord Changxin is truly wicked; he set a trap for him with just a few words!

The State of Yan is inferior to the State of Qin, so he probably doesn't want his position as crown prince anymore.

If Qin is inferior to Yan, then Qin will be held responsible for attacking Yan in the future if it uses this as a pretext.

To say that the two countries are similar and have no superiority or inferiority? Then isn't your humble attitude as the Crown Prince of Yan a disgrace to Yan?

"Lord Changxin is joking. Prince Dan is merely showing respect for Lord Changxin's talent and learning."

Seeing that Yan Dan seemed to have been stumped by Ying Jing's question, the young man dressed as a wandering knight finally couldn't stand it anymore and took out three Xuanjing arrows as a way to exchange for treasures.

Although he was somewhat disapproving of Yan Dan's performance today, Yan Dan was, after all, a direct disciple of the Mohist leader and one of the Mohist leaders.

"Jing Ke, the leader of the Mohist school?"

Ying Jing chuckled softly, wondering if Jing Ke's assassination attempt on the King of Qin would ever happen again in this life.

Hearing Ying Jing accurately pronounce his name, Jing Ke was immediately shocked.

"I had long heard that the net of heaven and earth was all-pervasive, but I never imagined that someone as insignificant as me could even fall into Lord Changxin's ears!"

Not only Jing Ke, but everyone present was somewhat shocked.

Before Ying Jing spoke, they all thought Jing Ke was just an ordinary wandering knight.

The Net of Deception is indeed terrifying!
