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

Chapter 105 Zi Nu is furious

"What's terrifying isn't the Net itself, but Lord Changxin, who wields it..."

Han Fei watched the show from the sidelines, and he had some thoughts in mind, which were different from those of the others.

While the Luowang organization once under Lü Buwei's control was indeed powerful and terrifying, its intelligence capabilities were not as astounding.

It was only after it came into the hands of Changxin that the style of the Luo Wang changed drastically, becoming increasingly terrifying.

"The Mohist school is one of the two most prominent schools of thought in the world, so the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) will naturally pay close attention to it."

"Besides, Jing Ke, you are a disciple of General Gongsun Yu of the State of Wei."

"However, according to the intelligence from Luo Wang, you should have General Gongsun Yu's granddaughter with you. Why haven't we seen her?"

Ying Jing did not deny the intelligence capabilities of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven), and in just a few simple words, he revealed all the information about Jing Ke.

Seeing the astonished gazes around him, Jing Ke's face turned somewhat bitter.

I should have known better than to come out and help Yan Dan out of that predicament!

He laid bare all his secrets.

At this moment, Jing Ke already sensed it; from some unknown direction, several astonishing "forces" had locked onto him.

In this situation, even with his martial arts skills, escaping would be a pipe dream.

"I never imagined that even after the fall of Wei, the Luo Net would still pay so much attention to me."

Jing Ke's face showed a hint of helplessness: "As for my junior sister, it is inconvenient for me to travel the world with her, so I asked my teacher's old friend to take care of her."

“If Lord Changxin is unwilling to let us escape, he may come looking for me. But please spare my junior sister.”

In the past, the State of Wei was destroyed by Qin. General Meng Ao personally led his army to conquer Chaoge. Gongsun Yu was killed, and Jing Ke fled with Gongsun Yu's granddaughter, Li Ji.

However, Jing Ke admired the chivalrous spirit of the heroes of Yan and Zhao, who dared to help those in distress, and thus possessed the demeanor of a chivalrous hero. He was then drawn into the Mohist school by Yan Dan.

Li Ji, on the other hand, only wanted to live a quiet and peaceful life.

This time, Jing Ke accompanied Yan Dan to participate in the Qianlong Hall's treasure exchange meeting. It would be inconvenient to bring Li Ji along to such a dangerous no-man's-land.

So Jing Ke asked Gongsun Yu, an old friend, to look after Li Ji and left her there.

Now Jing Ke was extremely grateful that he had brought his junior sister along, otherwise they would have been captured by Lord Changxin in one fell swoop.

No one is paying attention to Yan Dan now, and he's happy about it, keeping a low profile by not saying a word.

As for saying a few words in defense of Jing Ke... there's no need for that!

In Yan Dan's view, the fact that Luo Wang was paying so much attention to Jing Ke meant that they had been keeping an eye on him for a long time, and that he would surely die if he encountered Changxin Jun today.

However, Yan Dan was clearly wrong.

"If the Qin state wanted to kill you, how could you have survived until today?"

Ying Jing said indifferently, "As long as you have no intention of revenge or restoring your country, you are naturally not enemies of Qin and Luo Wang."

There are many people under the watchful eye of the Net, and not everyone needs to be killed.

As Ying Jing spoke, the several "forces" locked onto Jing Ke gradually dissipated.

Upon realizing this, Jing Ke was immediately pleasantly surprised.

This is a true escape from death!

"I had long heard that Lord Changxin of Qin once stood up for a dancer from Zhao, even at the risk of offending the King of Zhao and the prince of Zhao. He is an upright and kind man, and seeing him today, I can confirm it is true!"

When traveling through the lands of Yan and Zhao, Jing Ke loved hearing stories with a chivalrous spirit. He had once heard such a story in the Feixue Pavilion of Zhao.

Ying Jing wouldn't appreciate it if his subordinates fawned over him.

But Ying Jing was somewhat gratified by Jing Ke's words.

Finally, someone genuinely praised him for being upright and kind; his reputation and efforts over the years were beginning to bear fruit.

Han Fei had little contact with Ying Jing, but he nodded at this moment.

If this Lord Changxin is truly as his reputation suggests, then Honglian has found a good home.

Yan Chun Jun agreed, feeling that he and Chang Xin Jun were equally upright and kind.

Only Yan Dan was not satisfied, but he dared not speak now, and regretted not saying a word for Jing Ke earlier.

Lord Changxin is clearly a kind-faced but ruthless person, so why did he let Jing Ke go?

However, thinking about her past experiences, Yan Dan immediately understood!

"This Lord Changxin is a hypocrite. He must be trying to protect his reputation and will strike secretly after everyone has left..."

"Therefore, I cannot return with Jing Ke. Now that my master is not by my side, if I am killed by the Net, all my ambitions will be impossible to realize."

Thinking of this, Yan Dan quietly retreated behind the crowd.

Jing Ke, on the other hand, was still emphasizing this to Ying Jing.

"Lord Changxin, please rest assured. Warring states are common occurrences. Jing Ke has no intention of restoring his country, nor does he have the ability to do so. My master also told me that it is a blessing for a general to die on the battlefield, and there is no need for revenge."

"Man is the butcher, I am the fish," Jing Ke solemnly assured him.

Jing Ke was not afraid of death, but it would be best if he could survive, especially since he had his junior sister with him!

"Ah."

Ying Jing gave a faint "hmm" and glanced at Yan Dan, who had retreated behind the others.

"Let's talk about this after the YiBao Conference, so as not to delay others."

As Ying Jing spoke, he lifted Yan Lingji's fair and soft hand and gently slipped a jade bracelet onto it.

"So lovely!"

Yan Lingji seemed very happy and raised her other hand.

However, Ying Jing shook his head and said seriously, "Wearing two is too easy for them to break."

"Is this happening?"

Yan Lingji looked somewhat suspicious and did not insist, but her eyes kept glancing at the remaining jade bracelet.

The YiBao conference continues.

However, no one has had much of an interest anymore.

Only Jing Ke gave the three mysterious crystal arrowheads he brought to Ying Jing, saying that he admired Lord Changxin's integrity and kindness.

To reassure Jing Ke and assure him that the Luo Wang would not harm him and Li Ji, Ying Jing had no choice but to accept the offer.

Including Han Fei's Azure Sea Jade Liquid Bottle and Yan Chunjun's Jade Bracelet... this is the third treasure that Ying Jing has obtained at this Treasure Exchange Conference.

After the entire exchange of treasures, Ying Jing only produced one piece of Water-Dissolving Gold...

Almost no cost, yet you get three treasures for free...

This left Situ Wanli, who was in charge of the Hidden Dragon Hall, somewhat at a loss for words.

"We can't invite people of such high status next time..."

Ying Jing originally thought that three treasures were already quite good.

But that's not all.

"Snapped!"

An ancient-looking box suddenly flew towards Ying Jing.

A ghostly figure appeared, and Zhen Gang caught it steadily.

The fourth treasure is in hand...

"This thing is no longer of use, so why not give it to Lord Changxin as well?"

The gentle voice carried a barely perceptible hint of anger.

Ying Jing couldn't help but look at the graceful figure revealed on the gauze curtain under the lantern light.

Its round body rose and fell, indicating that it was quite angry.
