Xia Wuqie

The Green Clothed Girl earnestly explained this so-called cultivation to Fusu.

Fusu listened, feeling completely lost, but his long-standing trust in the Green Clothed Girl made him almost blindly follow her words! In short, as long as Master said it, it was correct!

This was a shared thought between him and Ying Zheng, although Ying Zheng no longer asked the Green Clothed Girl for decisions.

But Master wouldn't harm them, right?

"Master, Fusu understands!"

Fusu bowed to the Green Clothed Girl. She looked at him as if he were a promising student. She wanted to rub his head but realized the youth was fifteen years old, making that impossible. So, she patted his shoulder instead.

"Very good, much more obedient than your Father King was back then!"

A well-behaved child molded by court etiquette was different from one who grew up wild in Handan city.

On the day Jing Ke arrived, the Green Clothed Girl specifically chose a good spot. It was too good, in fact, directly occupying the former position of Prime Minister Changping Jun. Changping Jun retreated to stand behind her. As Mi Hua's father and the Prime Minister of Great Qin, he knew how special the Green Clothed Girl was.

The civil and military officials of Great Qin saw this and dared not say a word.

Qin Wu Yang was a coward, his courage shattered by the grandeur of the Qin Palace. He held the lacquered box containing Fan Yu Qi's head but dared not step forward.

Jing Ke had no choice but to ascend the hall alone.

When he saw a Green Clothed Girl standing in the Qin Imperial Court, his originally calm expression showed a flicker of astonishment. However, his psychological fortitude was excellent, and he adjusted his mindset within a single breath, respectfully kneeling in the Grand Hall.

"Yan Envoy Jing Ke, pays respects to the Great King!"

He presented Fan Yu Qi's head and the map of the Du Kang region to Ying Zheng.

At the end of the map was a dagger coated in poison. Jing Ke grabbed the dagger, seized Ying Zheng's sleeve, and lunged at him!

Ying Zheng's expression was one of great shock. He dodged the attack, shed his royal robe, broke free from Jing Ke's grasp, and instinctively ran towards the Green Clothed Girl, attempting to draw his sword as he ran!

However, the King of Qin's sword was long, making it difficult for him to draw.

He saw the Green Clothed Girl standing ahead. He wanted to call out to her but gritted his teeth, turned, and ran in another direction, dodging Jing Ke around the hall's pillars. Outside the hall, the Qin Army killed Qin Wu Yang but dared not enter the hall.

Just as Jing Ke was about to strike Ying Zheng, Xia Wuqie was nowhere to be seen.

The Green Clothed Girl frowned and directly drew Changping Jun's saber, "Mi Qi, lend me your sword!"

She threw the sword at Jing Ke, knocking away his dagger.

Although Jing Ke was a heroic warrior, how could the Green Clothed Girl truly watch him kill Ying Zheng? However, after throwing the sword, the Green Clothed Girl experienced a moment of trance and realization.

Was she perhaps History's Xia Wuqie?

At this instant, Changping Jun cried out, "The King bears the sword!"

Ying Zheng heard this, drew his sword, and severed Jing Ke's left leg. Jing Ke stumbled and fell, but still managed to throw his dagger. The dagger struck a bronze pillar, sending sparks flying.

Ying Zheng's expression turned somewhat manic. He intended to strike Jing Ke again, but Verdant Green Maiden stopped him.

"Master?"

Ying Zheng froze, his mind clearing slightly.

Verdant Green Maiden asked, "Why didn't you run to me? You know I could have saved you."

"I wouldn't dare trouble Master..." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

Verdant Green Maiden looked at him with surprise. Was this a rebellious phase? But... he was so old, how could he still be in a rebellious phase? Verdant Green Maiden didn't understand.

She tutted and crouched before Jing Ke.

Jing Ke's face was ashen. He coughed a few times and stared at Verdant Green Maiden, saying, "If you hadn't blocked me, I would have already killed the King of Qin!"

"And then what? Replace him with a younger King of Qin who harbors even more hatred for Yan?"

Verdant Green Maiden retorted.

Even if Jing Ke had succeeded, the new King of Qin, to stabilize his throne and appease the royal ministers, would have surely launched a war against Yan! In other words, whether the assassination attempt succeeded or not, it wouldn't change the outcome of Yan being destroyed by Qin.

Jing Ke fell silent for a moment. He looked at Verdant Green Maiden and weakly clenched his fist.

"If not for you... how could Violent Qin have become like this! You are the King of Qin's Master, you've raised a pack of Tigers and Wolves!"

"You've failed the people of the world!"

Ying Zheng frowned and said coldly, "You are not to disrespect Master!"

Verdant Green Maiden waved her hand, indicating she didn't care about that. She asked Jing Ke, "Among the people of the world you speak of, are there any Qin people?"

Hearing this, Jing Ke fell silent.

He lost consciousness in his silence, collapsing powerlessly in the pool of blood.

Ying Zheng returned to his throne with a stern expression, looking down at the ministers below. As their eyes met his, the ministers all retreated. When he was being pursued by Jing Ke, not a single one had dared to step forward and stop him!

Heh...

"Wang Jian!"

Ying Zheng's voice was deep, echoing in the solemn and majestic Grand Hall of the Qin Palace.

Wang Jian stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "This minister is here!"

"Destroy Yan!"

"Yes!"

When the news of Ying Zheng's assassination attempt reached the harem, Mi Hua's heart tightened. She hurriedly brought Fusu to visit Ying Zheng.

Seeing that Ying Zheng appeared as usual, Mi Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Qing Nü asked, "Is everything really alright? Why don't we call Xia Wuqie to take a look? Don't be careless."

"Xia Wuqie?"

Ying Zheng and Mi Hua were both stunned.

He looked at Qing Nü and asked doubtfully, "Master, who is this Xia Wuqie?"

"Xia Wuqie is none other than..."

Halfway through her sentence, Qing Nü froze.

She recalled everything that had happened in the Grand Hall and fell silent. After a long while, she started to laugh. So, this Xia Wuqie was her! After two thousand years, even when she was Guiguzi, she had never felt this way.

Qing Nü suddenly realized that she had already become a part of History.

"Master... what's wrong?"

Fusu, seeing Qing Nü laughing to herself, asked with concern.

Qing Nü waved her hand, turned, and walked outside. She said, "I'll go back and rest first."

Ying Zheng took a few steps forward, gazing at Qing Nü's retreating back.

He wanted to say something, but fell silent again. A flicker of thought crossed his eyes, and he murmured to himself, "Master seems... to care a lot about the name Xia Wuqie?"

Fusu looked bewildered and asked, "Xia Wuqie, is that Master's name?"

As soon as he said this, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up. He turned to look at Fusu, and then, as if suddenly enlightened, nodded.

"So that's how it is, I understand!"

Not long after, the Qin Army crossed the Yi River and headed straight for Ji City! It took them just over a month to capture the Yan Capital.

King Xi of Yan, along with the Crown Prince and the royal family and guards, fled to Liaodong Commandery.

The Qin State also captured Chenying of the Chu State and sent Lord Changping Mi Qi to appease the people.

However, just as Ying Zheng was planning to promote young generals and cultivate his own new nobility based on military achievements, due to the inaction of the old generals in the Imperial Court during the assassination attempt, Lord Changping rebelled!

As Mi Hua's father and the future maternal grandfather of the King of Qin, he rebelled against Qin!

After the death of the King of Chu, Fu Chu, he was established as the King of Chu.

His rebellion caused Ying Zheng's plan to destroy Chu and promote new forces to completely fall through. He had no choice but to swallow his pride and ask the old general Wang Jian to take action again, handing over six hundred thousand Qin troops to him! These were all the combat-ready soldiers of the Qin State!
