Nine years old?
The words of a child, yet Yan Dan actually believed them.
Moreover.
He doesn’t mention the interests between the countries at all.
Only focusing on his Yan state, making Ying Zheng seem like he belongs to Yan.
Truly naive and innocent!
"Once Ying Zheng is dead."
"The Qin state will surely be in chaos."
"With Qin in chaos, the Land of the Three Jins will also be in disorder."
"Not only will Qin lose the capability to invade our great Yan, but as chaos erupts in the Land of the Three Jins, our great Yan might seize the opportunity to expand."
"This assassination plan is truly a win-win."
"When the news from Qin arrives, Father will surely regard me highly, and the people of Yan will also look up to me."
"I, Ji Dan, will become a hero of our great Yan."
With great excitement, Yan Dan extended his hand.
For this day.
He has indeed been planning for too long.
For this day.
He has also sacrificed too much.
"But have you thought, if the assassination fails, it will be a disaster for Yan."
"Such an act of assassination."
"The King of Yan might be slaughtered by Qin." Gao Jianli slowly spoke.
Unexpectedly.
Upon hearing this.
Anger surged in Yan Dan’s eyes.
He abruptly turned around, staring daggers at Gao Jianli: "There’s no way it will fail, I will never fail."
"Ying Zheng must die!"
Seeing Yan Dan in this frenzied state.
Fear flickered in Gao Jianli’s eyes, and he dared not speak further.
Though he and Yan Dan grew up together, their social status is distinctly different, and if he truly angered Yan Dan, he might strike.
"Jing Ke."
"Alas."
Gao Jianli sighed inwardly.
And at this moment!
A retainer of the household quickly ran up, an urgent expression on his face.
"Crown Prince."
"Something has happened."
"Something major has happened."
The retainer rushed forward, kneeling before Yan Dan.
"What is it?"
"Has something happened in Qin?"
A gleam of joy crossed Yan Dan’s eyes as he hurriedly asked.
"How does the Crown Prince know?" The retainer’s expression showed surprise.
"Is Ying Zheng dead?"
Yan Dan inquired again, eyes flashing with delight.
"Crown Prince."
"How could the King of Qin be dead?"
The retainer looked puzzled at Yan Dan, seemingly not understanding why he would ask such a question.
And Yan Dan was taken aback.
"The King of Qin isn’t dead?" Yan Dan frowned, hurriedly asked: "Then what major event has occurred in Qin you speak of?"
"The Qin Army has crossed the border, invaded our great Yan territory."
