After Chu State, Qin State's greatest rival, fell, the remaining Yan State and Qi State had long since become lambs waiting for slaughter.
At this time, an envoy from Yan State wished to present a map to Qin King Ying Zheng, indicating that Yan State was ready to surrender and only awaited the King's troops to come take control.
Having already glimpsed part of the future, Ying Zheng learned that this envoy was named Jing Ke.
So he had long since laid an ambush with a group of experts. If an assassination attempt occurred, he could make a major issue of it, and the Qin army could immediately march north and destroy Yan State!
Filled with immense hatred, Jing Ke, now one of the leaders of the Mo Clan, accepted Yan Dan's order.
The hatred between Jing Ke and Ying Zheng was no simple matter. His childhood sweetheart and junior sister, Gongsun Liji, had caught Ying Zheng's eye and been directly taken back to the Qin Royal Palace.
Every night, when Jing Ke thought of his junior sister sharing a bed with Ying Zheng and performing the rites of Zhou Gong with him, he wanted nothing more than to fly straight to Xianyang City and cut off Ying Zheng's head.
Xiao Zhen had been hiding in the shadows and observing all along. He did not want the partner he had worked so hard to find to die.
Based on some of the original plot, Xiao Zhen vaguely remembered that Jing Ke had infiltrated the Qin Royal Palace and met Gongsun Liji, only to learn that his junior sister was carrying his child.
In the end, for reasons unknown, Jing Ke had deliberately held back during his assassination attempt on the Qin King and was then killed by Ge Nie.
