Hu Yanyan blushed and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty always makes fun of me."

Ying Yuan smiled, walked up to her, and gently held her in his arms. "Yan'er, don't worry, I will definitely win! I will give you a prosperous world!"

Hu Yanyan snuggled in Ying Yuan's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling a sense of security in her heart. She knew that no matter what happened, she would always be by this man's side, sharing the joys and sorrows with him, and relying on him through life and death.

At the same time, Wang Jian led his army to the border of Zhao. Along the way, he kept thinking about Ying Yuan's plan, and his heart was full of uneasiness. He knew that this journey was extremely dangerous, and if he was not careful, he would be doomed.

However, Wang Jian did not back down. As a veteran general, he had already put life and death aside. He had only one belief in his heart, which was to complete the entrustment of His Majesty and defend the country of Daqin!

A few days later, Wang Jian led his army to the border of Zhao State. He sent someone to submit a letter of surrender to the King of Zhao, expressing his willingness to lead his army to surrender to Zhao State.

When King Zhao received the letter of surrender, he was overjoyed and immediately summoned his ministers to discuss the matter.

"Your Majesty, Wang Jian is a famous general of the Qin State. His sudden surrender this time must be a trick!" A minister stood up and said.

The King of Zhao snorted coldly: "Wang Jian is now a lost dog. What qualifications does he have to negotiate with me? If he surrenders sincerely, I will give him wealth and honor! If he dares to play tricks, I will make him die without a burial place!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" the ministers echoed.

The King of Zhao immediately ordered an envoy to go to the Qin army camp to welcome Wang Jian to surrender.

After receiving the envoy from King Zhao, Wang Jian pretended to agree to King Zhao's conditions and led his army into the territory of Zhao.

When King Zhao saw that Wang Jian had really surrendered, he was overjoyed and set up a banquet to entertain Wang Jian and his subordinates.

At the banquet, King Zhao frequently toasted Wang Jian, and Wang Jian pretended to be grateful and drank one glass of wine after another.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, King Zhao gradually relaxed his vigilance.

At this moment, Wang Jian suddenly stood up, drew the sword from his waist, pointed at the King of Zhao, and shouted: "King of Zhao, you have fallen into the trap!"

At the same time, the Qin army ambushed outside the city also launched an attack, and the shouts of killing shook the earth.

The King of Zhao then realized that he had fallen into Ying Yuan's trap and was immediately frightened out of his wits. He wanted to resist, but it was too late.

Wang Jian raised his sword and slashed, and the King of Zhao's head rolled to the ground.

The State of Zhao was leaderless and was soon conquered by the Qin army.

When the news reached Xianyang, Ying Yuan was overjoyed and immediately ordered that Wang Jian be named Marquis Wucheng and be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.

At this time, Li Xin, who was far away in Zhao State, was finally rescued. After he returned to Xianyang, Ying Yuan personally welcomed him and praised him highly.

"General Li Xin, you have worked hard!" Ying Yuan raised his glass and toasted Li Xin.

Li Xin excitedly took the wine glass and drank it all. "I will not refuse even if I die!"

Ying Yuan smiled and patted Li Xin on the shoulder. "I know you've suffered a lot, take a good rest."

Li Xin nodded, his heart filled with gratitude. He knew that he was able to come back alive thanks to the trust and support of His Majesty.

After solving the problem of Zhao State, Ying Yuan began to turn his attention to other countries. He had only one goal in mind, which was to unify the world and build an unprecedentedly powerful empire!
However, just when Ying Yuan was full of confidence and ready to make great plans, an unexpected news came, which made him furious...

Ying Yuan frowned, and he swept the memorial on the dragon table to the ground. It clearly stated on the memorial that "Yan State's Crown Prince Dan sent the assassin Jing Ke to present the Du Kang map and Fan Yuqi's head to Your Majesty".

"Offer a map? Offer a head? Ha!" Ying Yuan sneered, his eyes flashing coldly, "This is clearly Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong!"

He paced back and forth, burning with anger. After destroying Zhao, he was about to march north to conquer Yan, but he didn't expect that Prince Dan of Yan would dare to strike first. This made him feel greatly provoked. Who was he, Ying Yuan? The Emperor of Qin! Invincible in the world! How could he allow others to look down on him like this?
"Someone come here!" Ying Yuan roared.

A guard immediately knelt on the ground and asked, "What do you want, Your Majesty?" "Call Li Si, Wang Jian, and Meng Tian to see you!"

"promise!"

Soon, three important ministers hurried over.

Li Si was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, is this about the State of Yan?"

Ying Yuan snorted coldly: "Besides the State of Yan, what else can make me so angry?"

Wang Jian said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the move by Prince Dan of Yan is undoubtedly a road to his own death. I am willing to lead the troops to Yan State and eradicate him completely!"

Meng Tian also cupped his hands and said, "I second your proposal! Yan is a tiny country, nothing to be afraid of!"

Ying Yuan waved his hand: "No, I want to go to Yan State in person this time!"

The three of them were all stunned. Li Si advised, "Your Majesty, you must not do that! You are the ruler of a country, how can you take risks so easily? Besides, although Yan is a small country, Prince Dan is full of tricks. We must be on guard!"

A trace of determination flashed in Ying Yuan's eyes: "I have made up my mind! I want to see what kind of ability this Yan Taizi Dan has to dare to play tricks under my nose!"

Wang Jian and Meng Tian looked at each other and knew that they could not persuade Ying Yuan, so they had to obey the order and prepare.

Li Si was worried, but he could do nothing about it. He knew Ying Yuan's character, and once he made a decision, nothing could change it.

Three days later, Ying Yuan led a large army and marched towards the State of Yan.

Along the way, Ying Yuan was thinking about how to deal with Prince Dan. He knew that since Prince Dan dared to send assassins, he must have something to rely on.

"Your Majesty, the border of Yan State is ahead." Wang Jian stepped forward to report.

Ying Yuan nodded and looked into the distance: "Pass the order, the whole army speeds up!"

In Jicheng, the capital of Yan State, Prince Dan was discussing the plan to assassinate Ying Yuan with Jing Ke.

"Mr. Jing Ke, whether we can succeed this time depends entirely on you!" Prince Dan said in a serious tone.

Jing Ke stroked the map with a firm look in his eyes: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

However, at this moment, a soldier ran in in a panic: "Report! The Qin army is approaching the city!"

Prince Dan's expression changed drastically: "What? So fast?"

Jing Ke remained calm and composed: "Your Highness, don't panic. Just proceed according to the plan."

When Ying Yuan's army arrived outside Jicheng, they did not attack the city immediately, but set up camp, as if waiting for something.

Inside the city, Prince Dan was extremely anxious. He had no idea what Ying Yuan was up to.

"Mr. Jing Ke, why didn't the Qin army attack the city?"

Jing Ke groaned for a moment: "I'm afraid Ying Yuan wants to lure us out of the city for a decisive battle."

Prince Dan nodded: "Sir, you are absolutely right. We must not fall into your trap!"

However, the development of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations. (End of this chapter)
