Chapter 9711 9710-
On the other hand, Lin Yi\'s strength was still considered first class, and he wouldn\'t fight to his death unless it was absolutely necessary, but there was still the risk of being schemed against. At most, he would just turn the scheme from the surface to the surface, that\'s all.
At least one thing was for sure. In the eyes of the King of Qin, who was deeply immersed in his role, he was just a chess piece.
Lin Yi took a deep breath. It\'d been a long time since he\'d felt like he couldn\'t control his own fate.
Even in Jianghai college, be it the Council or the repeaters, they were all Masters. Lin Yi\'s strength wasn\'t outstanding in comparison, but at least there was a basic order. Even in the repeating school, which was known as the land of no king, there was a basic order, not to mention that she had Banshi Luo behind her.
It was dangerous, but at least it was Lin Yi\'s own choice.
Unlike now, where he had become the fulcrum of all parties and could be swept away by the general trend at any time, the feeling of having no control over his own body was everywhere.
Naturally, Lin Yi wasn\'t someone who would just wait for his death. If things continued like this, who could guarantee that Qin Wang wouldn\'t burn the bridge after he\'d outlived his usefulness?
Therefore, he had to take the initiative to break out of this situation and grasp more initiative!
"I need a suitable opportunity."
What Lin Yi didn\'t expect was that the opportunity came faster than he expected. He\'d just returned home from the Xianyang Palace when he saw Dong que.
Lin Yi couldn\'t help but smile at the worried look on Dong que\'s face."Sir, did you come back because you found your conscience and came back to collect my corpse?"
"You\'re joking, you\'re joking. "
Dong que was embarrassed. Although it was a rule of conduct in the world of cultivators to kill a fellow cultivator, it was still a bit wrong to put it on the table, not to mention that he had a favor to ask of Lin Yi.
Lin Yi wasn\'t one to dwell on things like this-he cut straight to the point, "I\'ve already mentioned to the King of Qin that the Yan Kingdom wants to submit. He has also expressed his willingness to accept it. You can take action now. Of course, you must show enough sincerity. After all, the King of Qin is a mighty Lord of a generation. He is not so easy to fool."
"Good, you\'re indeed a good friend!"
Hearing this, Dong que was overjoyed, but then he was embarrassed,""But now I need your help with something. It\'s related to the sincerity of our Yan Kingdom to the King of Qin,"
"What sincerity?" Lin Yi blinked.
"Fan Yuqi has betrayed us," Dong que said helplessly."He has already escaped to Xianyang. It seems like he\'s prepared to seek refuge with the King of Qin."
“……”
Lin Yi spat out old time tea.
What kind of person was Fan Yuqi? If he didn\'t go through the entire process of Jing Ke\'s assassination in detail, Lin Yi wouldn\'t have been able to recall it in a short time.
This person was originally a general of the Qin State. He should have participated in the rebellion of Xuanji and failed, so he fled to the Qin State to escape punishment. In history, the Crown Prince of Yan forced him to die in order to facilitate the killing plan, using his head to express his sincerity to the King of Qin.
Logically speaking, the Yan Kingdom would never let such an important figure escape. Even if Fan Yuqi wanted to escape, he wouldn\'t take the initiative to escape to the Qin Kingdom. One must know that the Qin Kingdom was famous for its cruel punishment. It wasn\'t like Fan Yuqi would seek his own death.
But thinking about it carefully, if Fan Yuqi was a cultivator in disguise, then it wasn\'t so hard to understand why he did this.
This person\'s situation was the same as Lin Yi\'s Meng Jia, destined to be an extremely awkward situation, or even worse than Lin Yi \'s. At least Meng Jia still had a lot of value before the death trap was set up, and he still had room to manipulate things.
But Fan Yuqi\'s only value was the head on his neck. He didn\'t even have the right to say no.
Therefore, from his point of view, betraying and escaping was the only option. As for the destination of betraying, of course, he could choose other places, but as an Assassin\'s baptism, there shouldn\'t be such a free option. The more relaxed and happy it looked, the more dangerous it would be behind it.
Perhaps there would be a mechanical God advent, and an old monster from the Yan Kingdom would appear and chase him for thousands of miles.
Even if it was Lin Yi, as long as the mission wasn\'t to kill the king of Qin, he would most likely choose to join the Qin. After all, this was the only place that the Yan camp couldn\'t easily get their hands on. If the King of Qin was a practitioner, as long as the interests of both sides were the same, they might accept him.
"Once Fan Yuqi is captured and accepted by the Qin state\'s military, things will become troublesome," Dong que said angrily."Without his head, we won\'t be able to gather the sincerity that the King of Qin wants. At that time, it\'ll be difficult to set up a killing trap."
"You didn\'t come here to ask me to help you catch him, did you?" Lin Yi looked at him indifferently.
"Your Excellency is a straightforward person, you hit the nail on the head!"
Dong que nodded his head honestly. It was obvious that he was treating Lin Yi as a Grasshopper on the same rope. After all, the evidence of Meng Jia\'s dark history was in his hands. It could be said that Lin Yi\'s entire life was in his hands.
Lin Yi looked at him like he was an idiot,"Do I look that stupid?"
If it was before, as long as Lin Yi didn\'t want to give up, there was a high chance that he\'d be pinched by the nose by the other party. Unfortunately, he\'d already reached a tacit agreement with the king himself.
As long as he was of value to the King of Qin, he would turn a blind eye to murder and arson, let alone corruption and bribery. If the other party wanted to use this against him, he had made a mistake.
Plus, this was something that came from his identity as Meng Jia, it had nothing to do with Lin Yi at all!
Just like the famous saying,"Wan Wan, the one you want to catch is Lu Xun," what does it have to do with me, Zhou Shu Ren?
Seeing Lin Yi\'s reaction, Dong que couldn\'t help but to threaten,"Your Excellency, you have to think carefully. Helping us is actually helping yourself. If we really fail at the last step, it will definitely not be a good thing for you. After all, we are people on the same boat!"
"Oh, really? Did I say I wanted to board your ship?"
Lin Yi\'s eyes turned cold, and the air around him turned ten degrees colder. It was as if he was being stared at by a giant beast. Dong que\'s eyes flashed, and he subconsciously wanted to run away.
He\'d thought that Lin Yi was only able to survive the two men\'s assassination because he was lucky enough to make it to the patrol team\'s arrival, but he finally realized what was going on.
It turned out that the person in front of him was the fierce person who was pretending to be a pig to eat a Tiger!
However, even though Dong que was feeling guilty, there were no weaklings among those who could participate in the Assassin\'s baptism. He immediately adjusted his attitude.
"I\'m sorry, I used the wrong words. What I meant was that since we\'ve already reached a tacit agreement, we naturally have to stick to it. This is good for both you and me. Capturing Fan Yuqi is not only important for us, but also for you, Sir, right?"
Lin Yi couldn\'t help but think more highly of this guy-he wasn\'t someone to be messed with, after all.
