Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 509: Chapter 215: The Wrath of Qin! Qin Cavalry Attacks!! Yan Despairs! (Part 3)

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.”

“Our Yan border, over ten thousand defending soldiers have been almost entirely slaughtered by the Qin Army.”

“The Qin Army is now massively attacking our great Yan.” The retainer hurriedly said.

Upon hearing this.

Yan Dan’s face immediately turned pale.

His previously confident expression now became panicked, steps faltering.

“What has happened to the Crown Prince?” The retainer asked with puzzlement, very respectfully.

Beside him, Gao Jianli’s expression also changed: “We failed, it definitely failed, that’s why Qin is attacking great Yan.”

“Impossible.”

“This is impossible.”

“How could Ying Zheng evade Jing Ke’s blow?”

“Such a perfect plan.”

“Along with Fan Yuqi’s head.”

“Ying Zheng hated Fan Yuqi to the extreme, with his head, Jing Ke should have completely gained Ying Zheng’s trust.”

“Surely could get close.”

“How could the assassination fail?”

“Could it be that heaven truly intends to destroy our great Yan?”

“Heaven, how can you be so blind?”

Yan Dan was trembling all over.

Just hearing about the Qin Army’s attack, Yan Dan understood that the assassination plan definitely failed.

Otherwise, the Qin state wouldn’t attack without cause.

“This time, the Qin Army attacked our territory under the banner of revenge.”

“There has been news from the court.”

“The Great King has already dispatched envoys to Qi and Chu, requesting both countries to send troops.”

“With Qin raising an unjust war, the countries of Qi and Chu surely won’t sit by idly, they will certainly send troops in aid, so the Crown Prince need not worry too much.”

Seeing Yan Dan’s face becoming increasingly grave, the retainer immediately added.

He naturally thought Yan Dan was worried about being unable to defend against Qin’s invasion of Yan.

Little did he know.

This was entirely due to Yan Dan being engulfed by fear at the moment.

“Without justification?”

Upon hearing these four words.

Yan Dan’s face once again turned pale.

If the assassination this time truly succeeded, then the Qin state would indeed suffer unimaginable damage, but if it failed, then Qin’s troop movement wouldn’t be without justification, but justified.

Even though Qi and Chu have signed an alliance, they can’t send troops to help.

Because it was he who sent the assassin from Yan.

“How am I to face Father?”

“How to face the Yan court ministers?”

At this moment.

Fear welled up in Yan Dan’s heart.

All along.

The reason for Yan Dan’s urgent desire to prove himself was because of his father.

Because from beginning to end, he always felt his father underestimated him, so he wanted to prove himself, and this assassination matter was his biggest chance to prove himself.

Once successful!

Yan Dan can even imagine how his father would praise him, and envision how the people of Yan would admire him.

But now.

Everything was just his fantasy.

“Crown Prince.”

“Right now, you have no need to worry, the Great King will make the decisions on this matter.”

Seeing the stupefied Yan Dan, the retainer spoke again.

“Get out.”

Yan Dan shouted angrily.

“Understood.”

Seeing Yan Dan suddenly enraged, the retainer shivered in fright and quickly withdrew.

Yan Dan’s face was filled with terror, no longer knowing how to face the situation.

Because he had made a grave mistake!

And at this moment.

Inside the Yan state court.

As the King of Yan was decreeing, instructing Qing Qin to lead troops to meet the enemy, sending envoys to Qi and Chu.

Sounds of footsteps again came from outside the hall.

Another urgent messenger quickly ran up.

“Report to the Great King.”

“Urgent news.”

“News concerning why Qin attacked our great Yan.”

“It was sent back at great risk by spies in Qin.”

The messenger knelt on the ground, holding high an unopened dispatch.
