"My lord."
"What on earth has happened?"
"Why return to the capital so hastily?"
Han Chenyan asked puzzled.
"Envoys from Yan have come, with an opportunity for assassination." Zhao Feng urged his horse and continued in a deep voice.
"Impossible!"
"Could Yan be so bold as to attempt assassination within our Great Qin Palace? Would that not be a dead-end?" Han Chenyan was completely shocked, unable to conceive of such a possibility.
Not just him, no one else could possibly conceive of this.
In the entire court, perhaps none could think of this.
After all, no one would dare perform such an act under the guise of diplomacy.
Firstly, it would be a grave crime, and secondly, the chance is slim.
Because there’s absolutely no opportunity to get close to King of Qin.
"You cannot think of it."
"Others also regard it like this, none could think of it."
"Even the Great King would not be able to think of it."
"Thus, the chance of Yan’s assassination attempt is far too high." Zhao Feng spoke solemnly, urging his horse continually, his expression growing ever more serious.
Had history unfolded as originally.
Jing Ke’s assassination attempt.
The King of Qin would be incredibly embarrassed, fleeing around a pillar to save his life.
This is in the scenario where history hadn’t deviated.
The King of Qin would not be in mortal danger from this assassination attempt, in fact, he would gain a justified reason to attack Yan.
Thus.
The Qi and Chu states would have no reason to aid Yan.
Yan has sent people to attempt assassination, to kill the King of Qin, in his righteous fury, the King could justifiably send troops against Yan.
"Why is the lord so certain that Yan will attempt assassination?"
"From whatever angle, Yan would not dare."
"If they fail, it’d be the end of their country." Han Chenyan still couldn’t fully comprehend.
"Because Yan has an arrogant Crown Prince." Zhao Feng laughed coldly.
Then he swiftly urged his warhorse: "Onward."
Five hundred trusted aides escorted.
Kicking up clouds of dust from the ground, hundreds of cavalry seemed as though in wartime, galloping swiftly down the official road.

The Capital of Great Qin!
Xianyang!
The envoy from Yan’s caravan traveled slowly within the city.
Led by the Qin Imperial Guards in front.
Although observed by many citizens on the way, looking on with pride.
"Our Great Qin is now indeed a might of heavenly grandeur."
"Yan dispatches envoys to pay respects, clearly afraid of our heavenly might."
"Precisely."
"Wherever Great Qin’s heavenly might reaches, it surely can unite the world."
"There’s no country now able to stop our Great Qin’s warfront."
"Blessed is Great Qin..."
Numerous citizens proudly proclaimed.
"The spirit of Qin is thus."
"Truly fearful."
"The Crown Prince’s worries were correct."
Yan’s chief envoy Qin Wuyang sighed.
Though sitting within a carriage, they could not fail to hear the fervent cheers outside.
"A certain death mission this time."
