Chapter 60: The Mystery of Assassinating Qin

Xunzi said: The martial arts of Qi cannot meet the warriors of Wei, and the warriors of Wei cannot meet the warriors of Qin.

The Qin disciples who were secretly cultivated should be superior to Qin's warriors in combat strength, but even if they could fight one against a hundred, less than ten of them would not be enough to compare with Xiang Yu's 300,000-strong army.

It seems that you can only use your wits, not your strength. Ziying secretly thought.

"Meng Ai Qing, I must go to the banquet in a few days." Ziying showed his cards.

Mengtu frowned slightly, "Does the king really want to be a stupid and benevolent king?"

"No." Ziying explained, "Those Chu people are in great momentum. If we don't go to the banquet, it will appear that we are afraid of them, which is not good for the morale of the army."

"But Xiang Yu killed 200,000 Qin troops in Xin'an. How can the king ensure safety?" Mengtu asked.

"so..."

Ziying stood up and came to Mengtu's side and whispered softly.

"Hahaha." Meng Tu laughed heartily, "I really did not misjudge the person. Your Majesty is indeed very treacherous. Your Majesty, please rest assured. Capturing people's hearts is the basic skill of Qin disciples."

Zi Yingquan took his words as a compliment and listened.

"Meng Aiqing, I wonder if there are any famous people among the Qin disciples?" Ziying was very interested in this group that only appeared in the history books.

"Most of Qin's disciples' tasks are classified. Once you become Qin's disciple, you will also be stripped of your original name." Mengtu said.

"That's it." Ziying was slightly disappointed, "Then I can't find it."

"But there are exceptions." Mengtu explained, "The First Emperor destroyed the six kingdoms, starting with the weakest Hancheng, so the Qin disciples who conquered Hancheng were greatly praised by the First Emperor."

Ziying thought for a moment, the person who conquered Hancheng was an unnamed high-ranking official.

"Is Nei Shi Teng also a disciple of Qin?!" Ziying was surprised.

"Yes, that's him." Meng Tu nodded.

Internal History is just an official title, responsible for the affairs of Xianyang, but his status is higher than that of the governor of the thirty-six counties in the world.

That year, Nei Shiteng attacked Hancheng, captured Han Wangan, confiscated all the land in Hancheng, established Yingchuan County, and managed it in an orderly manner. He was truly a genius with both civil and military skills.

Neishiteng is also a figure who can be placed with the four great generals of Qin in the six kingdoms destroyed by Qin.

"So 'Teng' is not his original name." Ziying analyzed.

"Conquering Hancheng is only the first step. The First Emperor gave him the name 'Teng', which means that this is the beginning of Qin's destruction of the six kingdoms." Mengtu said.

"I am really stupid." Ziying laughed at himself, "A person in a high position does not announce his surname to the world, but only reveals his famous name. I actually believe it."

"Although Tu Qin's strength is far superior to ordinary generals, if he meets a born hero, he will fail." Meng Tu continued.

Ziying's face looked a little ugly. Xiang Yu was a born hero. If he were to reach Bashang, I really don't know if the sharp swords in the hands of several Qin disciples could compete with Xiang Yu's Overlord Halberd.

"Then what time did Meng Aiqing mention that the Qin disciples failed?" Ziying asked anxiously.

"Crunt against the Kingdom of Zhao." Mengtu said, "That Qin disciple was unfortunate because he encountered Commander Li Mu."

The State of Zhao was founded by force, and Li Mu was the backbone of the State of Zhao and the best among the generals. Together with Bai Qi, Lian Po, and Wang Jian, he was known as the "Four Famous Generals of the Warring States Period".

Li Muyanmen defeated the Xiongnu and beheaded more than 100,000 people. He fought against the powerful Qin in the west. He severely damaged the Qin army in Yi'an, destroyed Xiuzhai, captured Linhu, and defeated Donghu who was stronger than the Xiongnu.

There is a popular saying in the State of Zhao - "If Li Mu dies, the State of Zhao will perish."

In the end, the Qin Dynasty could only order the Qin disciples to use alienation tactics to make Zhao Wangqian suspicious and kill Li Mu, destroying the Great Wall. Within a few years, the Zhao Kingdom was destroyed.

"It's not a shame to lose to Li Mu." Ziying explained. As someone who sits on the throne of Qin, he was still a little wary when he heard Li Mu's name.

Meng Tu sighed, "But that Qin disciple was unwilling, so he pretended to be a treason, restored his original name and joined the Yan State. He is the only one among the Qin disciples who can keep his real name."

"The Qin disciples who attacked Han were given the name 'Teng', and why were those who attacked Zhao given the name 'Teng'?" Ziying asked curiously.

"Huanjue."

"Huan Juan?" Ziying thought, revealing a smile, "Huan is the pillar, and Juan is the bite. Fighting against Commander Li Mu is really like chewing on a pillar."

Ziying said, his smile gradually solidified, "Huanjue?! Huanjue...isn't he Fan Yuqi?!"

Dedicate your head to Jing Ke so that he can assassinate Fan Yuqi of Qin!

"Exactly!"

Ziying couldn't accept it, but it was true that Fan Yuqi had two names.

"Then why did he help Jing Ke assassinate the First Emperor?" Ziying couldn't understand.

"Actually, the First Emperor had already known about Yan Dan's intention to assassinate Qin, but due to his childhood friendship, he would not attack Yan before Yan Dan assassinated him." Meng Tu said, "Fan Yu Qi deliberately sacrificed his head to the State of Yan in order to get Jing Ke to take action earlier, which would also eliminate the First Emperor's concerns."

"No." Ziying shook his head and said, "Jing Ke's dagger is quenched with poison. If Jing Ke really succeeds, wouldn't it be a big deal?"

"Does Your Majesty know Qin Wuyang next to Jingke?" Mengtu said, "That is a natural assassin who can kill people at the age of twelve. Why did he look so horrified when he arrived at Xianyang Palace and became a useless person?"

"Why?" Ziying asked.

He also had doubts about this matter. The explanation given by Jing Ke was that he had met the First Emperor and was frightened by his power. Ziying also thought that Qin Wuyang was frightened.

"In fact, Qin Wuyang has been bribed by Fan Yuqi a long time ago, and Jing Ke's dagger has been replaced by a non-toxic one by Qin Wuyang. Fan Yuqi deceived Qin Wuyang. As long as he accompanied Jing Ke to Xianyang Palace, the surrounding guards would instantly kill Jing Ke. Then he gave Qin Wuyang an official title. But when he arrived at Xianyang Palace, what Fan Yuqi promised him didn't happen." Mengtu recalled.

Ziying couldn't control himself. This was something in the textbook, and there was such a secret hidden behind it.

"There is also the imperial physician Xia Wuji who hit Jing Ke with a medicine box." Mengtu continued, "The king has been on the throne for more than ten days. Have you ever heard of this person?"

Ziying covered his head. It was recorded in the book that all the guards were panicked. Only the imperial physician Xia Wuji came to his senses. This was indeed abnormal.

"The wind is rustling and the water is cold. Jing Ke stabbed the First Emperor in late autumn. Autumn is gold. Fire overcomes metal and summer is fire. So the First Emperor organized the group of people into one person named Xia. As for Wu Qi, the king knows What do you mean?"

"Could it be a group of eunuchs?" Ziying said, following Meng's train of thought.

"Yes, the First Emperor wanted to wait until Jing Ke took out the dagger before he could make up his mind to attack Yan. After Jing Ke took out the dagger, a group of eunuchs who were close at hand subdued Jing Ke." Mengtu told the truth about that year.

"Those eunuchs saved the First Emperor's life, so they were made into an imperial physician named Xia Wuji?!" Ziying suddenly realized.
