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

Chapter 106 Reaching Consensus

Zhengang respectfully presented the box, and Ying Jing examined it carefully.

The box has an antique shape and ingenious mechanism, as if it was made using sophisticated mechanical techniques.

However, Ying Jing could tell that this was neither the domineering mechanical arts of the Gongshu family nor the mechanical arts of the Mo family.

"The Guigu School's lineage is indeed remarkable; they even have a dabbling in mechanical arts. Their application of the principles of strategy and tactics to mechanical arts is quite ingenious..."

Ying Jing has had many dealings with the Gongshu family over the years and has gained considerable knowledge of mechanical arts.

Click... click...

With a few seemingly casual flicks, the mechanism on the mysterious box was triggered, and it opened on its own.

This immediately drew everyone's attention in the underground hall.

The last woman in the Ji Pavilion was simply too mysterious.

Not only did they draw back the curtains to conceal their true faces, but the treasures they exchanged were also strange, and they were not allowed to open them before the exchange.

They were unwilling to gamble on exchanging with this strange woman, but their curiosity was undeniable.

However... when the box was opened, the result was somewhat disappointing.

This antique box, even protected by ingenious mechanisms, ultimately contained only a fist-sized piece of gold.

"Hmph, I thought it was some kind of treasure!"

Yan Chunjun immediately showed disdain: "Pretending to be mysterious!"

Jing Ke and Yan Dan were also somewhat disappointed. After waiting for so long, all they got was a piece of gold, and it looked similar to the one Changxin Jun had received before.

Han Fei, on the other hand, looked at the gold he had exchanged for with the Azure Jade Liquid Bottle, and then at the portion in the ancient box in Ying Jing's hand, looking thoughtful.

With that, the YiBao Conference finally came to a complete end, and everyone left one after another.

“Brother Jing Ke, this Lord Changxin is a hypocrite and will never let us go easily. For our safety, let’s split up and leave.”

Yan Dan appeared unsettled, but he didn't forget to find an excuse for himself. While secretly transmitting his voice to Jing Ke, he moved swiftly, as if he would be caught by the assassin if he slowed down even a little.

Jing Ke was somewhat surprised, but he didn't rush to chase after Ying Jing. He simply bowed to Ying Jing before leaving.

If Lord Changxin were to actually make a move, it wouldn't matter whether he ran fast or slow, and he felt that Lord Changxin wouldn't actually do that.

"Congratulations, Mr. Changxin, on your great success! We hope you will continue to treat us well in our business dealings..."

Even as he was leaving, Yan Chunjun didn't forget to come and say goodbye to Ying Jing.

At this treasure exchange event, Han Fei lost the Jade Ocean Liquid Bottle but gained a piece of gold; the others seemed to have just come and gone through the motions.

Ying Jing, who only wanted to join in the fun, bought all the treasures, even the last box.

Isn't it a very rewarding experience?

"What a pity, one piece is missing."

Ying Jing shook his head. There were a total of six people participating in this underground treasure exchange conference.

Aside from himself, Ying Jing pocketed all the treasures brought by the other four people.

Only Yan Dan... he didn't bring any treasures at all, and he seemed more like someone who was just there for the fun than Ying Jing.

"Lord Changxin is right, Yan Dan is really ignorant!"

Yan Chunjun was quite cooperative, and didn't forget to add a few more sarcastic remarks about Yan Dan.

In the State of Yan, Yan Dan opposed him at every turn after returning home, trying to seize important positions in the court and take over his faction.

Even when he did something good by officiating at someone's wedding, Yan Dan would jump out and say that the woman was someone he liked.

Lord Yanchun also loathed Yan Dan.

Fortunately, Lord Yanchun had been managing the state of Yan for many years, and when Lord Yandan returned to the state, he caused great losses to Yan.

Even though he was the crown prince, Yan Dan was still completely under Yan Chun Jun's thumb.

Unless Yan Dan can obtain strong external assistance, such as the support of Lord Changxin... there is no way he can fight against him!

If you step on Yan Dan a few more times in front of Lord Changxin, whether it works or not, Lord Yanchun will feel comfortable anyway.

"Prince Dan was once a hostage in the State of Zhao with my elder brother, but unfortunately their circumstances after returning home were quite different."

"Brother Wang still cherishes some old friendships and hopes to meet Prince Dan again in the future."

"For my elder brother to care so much, it must mean that Crown Prince Dan has a sincere heart for the country, but his methods are somewhat wrong. Lord Yanchun, you don't need to take it too seriously."

Ying Jing smiled faintly. There were several assassins of the "Kill" rank lurking around Lord Yan Chun.

Ying Jing was fully aware of Yan Chunjun's character, and even the sordid relationship between him and Yan Dan.

Yan Chunjun's expression immediately darkened slightly. After Ying Jing's words, he suddenly felt that he had underestimated Yan Dan.

How terrifying was the Qin state! Even Lü Buwei, who once held great power, is now a lonely old man, and even Lord Changxin is willing to submit to him!

Why did Yan Dan manage to gain the Qin King's attention?

It's worth it!

If Yan Dan were to gain power, Yan Chunjun, who opposes him at every turn, would likely suffer a far worse fate than Lü Buwei.

"No, the suppression of Yan Dan must be doubled!"

"Whatever Yan Dan wants to do, we must prevent him from doing it!"

"By the way, doesn't the King of Qin want to see Yan Dan? I'll think of a way to send Yan Dan back to Qin as a hostage. The King of Qin will definitely agree!"

"Anyway, this isn't Yan Dan's first time being a hostage; she has experience!"

In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Yan Chunjun's mind before he finally spoke with a smile.

"What Lord Changxin said makes sense. The Crown Prince is ultimately devoted to the country, but his methods are not quite right."

"As the Crown Prince's uncle, it is my duty to assist the Crown Prince and help him contribute to the State of Yan in the right way."

Upon hearing Yan Chunjun's words, Ying Jing knew that Yan Chunjun had understood his meaning.

"Lord Yanchun's willingness to set aside past grievances and consider Prince Dan's well-being is truly admirable. I admire him greatly."

"Haha, not at all, I should thank Lord Changxin for the reminder. Otherwise, I would have made a big mistake and regretted it too late."

Lord Changxin of Qin and Lord Yanchun of Yan exchanged a glance, reached a consensus, and laughed together.

Lord Yanchun's power is so great that Yan Dan can't do anything.

But besides being the Crown Prince of Yan, Yan Dan was also a wandering swordsman and the leader of the Mohist school.

If Yan Dan is really being suppressed too much, he might take a desperate gamble and use the methods of the martial arts world to deal with Yan Chunjun.

If Yan Dan can persuade the Mohists to take action, even if there are experts from the Luo Wang lurking around Yan Chunjun, it is not safe.

Send Yan Dan to Qin as a hostage as soon as possible, to prevent him from causing trouble.

Lord Yanchun is a very satisfactory partner for Ying Jing; he cannot be allowed to be discarded by Yan Dan.

In the Qin state, under the watchful eyes of Ying Jing and Ying Zheng, Yan Dan, no matter how capable he was, couldn't cause any trouble.
