Bai Qi's son

  Jing Ke was the son of General Qing Ji (or King Qin Ji).

  "General, do you really believe that Fengxinzi has the power of ghosts and gods, and can see what will happen in the future?" In the main tent of the Qin army, two people sat facing each other, namely Wang Jian and General Tu Guang, who had rushed from the Zhangshui front line after receiving a secret order. At this time, Tu Guang's face was full of sorrow, and he asked: "He said that he really 'saw' that not long after, General, your entire family and the end general will all be killed by our king?"

  "General Tu, your uncle General Huan Yi was indeed a close friend of Tian Ji! In the past when he lost to Li Mu, it was not only because Li Mu was a capable general, but also due to some hidden circumstances that led to his defeat. After the battle, he had no choice but to flee to the State of Yan in fear of punishment...” With a sigh, General Wang Jian revealed a long-buried truth:

  The mother of Qin Wang Zheng was originally a concubine of Lü Buwei. In those years, Lü Buwei presented Zhao Ji to King Zhuang Xiang of Qin for political purposes and gave birth to Zheng; as the son of a hostage son who was not favored, Ying Zheng spent his youth in Handan, the capital of Zhao.

  Later, King Zhuang of Chu was mediated by Lü Buwei and returned to Qin, and recognized Huayang as his mother. After several political struggles, he finally gained the trust of Huayang. Lü Buwei spent a lot of effort and money to bring Zhao Ji and her son back to Qin, and from then on, King Zheng began his political career in the palace of Qin.

  In the third year of King Zhuangxiang of Qin (247 BC), King Zhuangxiang died, and Ying Zheng ascended to the throne as the king of Qin. At the time of his accession, due to his young age, state affairs were controlled by Prime Minister Lü Buwei, who was also honored as "Zhongfu" (a title equivalent to that of a senior uncle or mentor). Lü Buwei not only dominated the court but also continued his illicit relationship with Queen Dowager Zhao.

  As King Zheng of Qin grew older, Lü Buwei feared being discovered and presented a fake eunuch named Lao Ai to the Queen Dowager. Lao Ai pretended to have been castrated but only had his beard removed before entering the palace. As Qin Shi Huang grew up, they deceived him by saying that the Queen Dowager's bedroom was not auspicious and should be moved away from there. Qin Shi Huang believed it to be true, so they moved far away from Qin Shi Huang. As a result, the Queen Dowager gave birth to two illegitimate sons, while Lao Ai pretended to be the king's father and, with the help of the Queen Dowager, was enfeoffed as Marquis Changxin, ruling over Shanyang and Taiyuan, gathering followers for himself.

  Lü Buwei had been operating in Yongcheng for many years and established a powerful force, which was another strong political force after Lü Buwei.

  When King Zheng of Qin held a capping ceremony at Xianyang Palace, Lao Ai used the royal seal and the queen dowager's seal to launch a rebellion, attacking Xianyang Palace. Qin Shi Huang had already arranged for 3,000 elite soldiers to be stationed at Xianyang Palace, defeating the rebels. Lao Ai then attacked Xianyang Palace again, but there were also troops stationed there, and Lao Ai fled alone, was soon captured. Qin Shi Huang had Lao Ai torn apart by five horses, exposing his corpse to the public; he also imprisoned his mother Zhao Ji in Yongcheng's Yangyang Palace. Qin Shi Huang later removed Lü Buwei from his position as prime minister and exiled him to Bashu.

  ……

  "But what does this have to do with my uncle and the Grand General?" Tu Guang listened, still puzzled, and asked: "Could it be that... Luan Po's rebellion..."

  "No, no, no...!" Wang Jian hastily waved his hand in denial and said: "That time when you rebelled, your uncle had known about it beforehand, but he didn't participate and even dissuaded Nangong Yu, only..."

  "What's that?"

  "It was just that your uncle and General Fan Yuqi at the time were both very close to Lao Ai. Taking a deep breath, Wang Jian said: "After Lao Ai's affair was exposed, his two illegitimate sons with Zhao Ji were not caught by the Emperor and imprisoned together with Zhao Ji in Yongcheng's Shangyang Palace... but rather they were..."

  "Could it be that I, my uncle and General Fan Wuji...?" Tu Guang hastily replied, his face already filled with shock and panic, he knew Qin Wang Zheng all too well.

  King Xiang nodded slightly and continued: "Your uncle and Fan Yuqi each took one of the children and escaped from the chaotic army, then hid them separately. But... this was already a disaster of epic proportions. The two children still had something even more deadly in their hands..."

  "What thing?" Tu Guang hurriedly asked: "What kind of thing could make King You of Zhou force my uncle and General Fan Yuqi to flee from the state of Qin one after another?"

  "It's better not to say, it's better not to say." He waved his hand repeatedly, and Wang Jian stood up with his back facing him, saying in a low voice: "If you know, you will be killed by the King of Qin! Why bother? You go out first, those who want Li Mu to come and urge me to send troops to attack Han should also arrive. Just tell them that I suddenly fell ill... temporarily don't want to see anyone! Go!"

  "But..."

  "Go on, go on..."

  ……

  "Cough, cough, cough..." An old man was coughing violently, his voice echoing freely in the overly spacious and dark grand hall. On the high steps above, behind a strange screen, a masked man leaned sideways, facing the empty grand hall, and weakly said: "Wind, you're back?"

  With a "hush" sound, a figure flashed in and stood at the foot of the stairs, clasping his fists and reporting: "Wu Zun, Lord, Feng Xinzi has returned to ask for further instructions!" The newcomer was none other than Feng Xinzi, who had rushed back from Fanwu.

  "Haha, I know you've done a great job, tell me how it's going now!"

  "Adult, Wen Pei pretended to be Li Mu's daughter without any suspicion. Currently, the Zhao army is under our control, and Sima Shang will arrive at Fanwu soon. However...” After hesitating for a moment, Feng Xinzi glanced around cautiously and continued: “However, that Qin general Wang Jian, although I have shown him the 'future' on the 'Fantasy Stone' as a divine being, he still has doubts in his heart. It's probably not easy to control him! Why don't we capture him or kill him, and let our own brother become the great general of Qin country instead?"

  "Haha, one plan can't be used twice!" The martial arts master spoke up and said: "Moreover, there are many heroes in this world who are not afraid of death. If Li Mu and Wang Jian were to rebel at the same time, it would already raise a lot of suspicions. If we're not careful and someone discovers our plan, our entire scheme will be ruined. One true and one false, it's actually more beneficial for us."

  "...". After a moment of contemplation, Feng Xinzi hastily nodded and praised: "It's still better that Lord Wu Zun thought it through. I'll go to Qin Guo now to make arrangements. This fake play must become real!"

  "Haha... Wind, don't go to Qin State, I've already made arrangements." Weakly saying this, Wu Zun suddenly thought of something and said: "There's one more thing, I've sensed that Jing Ke is about to arrive here. You should prepare now and make sure to perfectly perform the play you've rehearsed in front of him!"

  "Oh, Jing Ke is coming! Haha, alright, sir! I'll go prepare now!" After saying that, Feng Xinzi backed away to the entrance of the grand hall, turned around and left.

  ……

  Fenyang East Township is located in the arms of a large mountain, with dense forests and numerous birds and beasts. The mountains are also home to streams that flow gently, where fish swim happily.

  "Brother, come and help me quickly!" A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy was splashing around in a creek that was waist-deep, scaring the fish away in all directions, sometimes even jumping out of the water. Just as he finished shouting, his foot slipped and he fell with a "ouch".

  "Haha." On the grassy riverbank, a young man was practicing his swordsmanship. His sword flashed left and right, its movements tightly linked, and the sword's tip seemed to be drawing out beautiful golden sword energy. Next to him were laid out knives, guns, crossbows, and arrows, indicating that his martial arts skills were not weak, and he must have received good guidance. Turning back to see the boy in the river tumbling down, he sheathed his sword and laughed happily.

  "Whoosh!" Emerging from the water, the boy was already soaked to the bone. He pouted his mouth, rolled up his sleeves and said with a mischievous grin: "Big brother didn't come to help Si Gang catch fish, but Si Gang fell into the water and was teased by the fish, still laughing so happily! Just you wait, I'll get you... hehe..." As he spoke, he put his hands on his hips and stepped onto the shore.

  "Alright, alright!" The big brother chuckled and admitted his mistake: "It's my fault, isn't it? Hehe, how can the precious Four of General Wang Jian's family be teased by a little fish? Watch me take revenge for you!"

  It turned out that the child who fell into the creek was actually the youngest son of General Wang Jian of Qin State, and the one he called "Big Brother" was none other than Wang Jian's eldest son, Wang Bi.

  "Great, great!" Wang Si heard this and immediately changed his scowl into a smile. He clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Today I want my brother to use a crossbow to shoot one, then use a spear to stab one, and also want my brother to chop one with a knife!"

  "Uh..." Hearing his brother's request, Wang Bo was taken aback, slightly blushing and said: "That would be easy if it were Father, but my knife skills are not good enough!"

  "No matter what... " It's as if you want to see me make a fool of myself, Wang Si grinned mischievously and handed over a large knife first, "Brother, why don't you try it out?" Then he turned around and picked up the long spear from the ground, ready to use.

  Holding the knife, he walked quietly into the water, not daring to make any big movements. Wang Bei concentrated his mind and stared at the clear water where the fish were swimming slightly, raising the knife high.

  "Huh, what's that?" Suddenly attracted by something, Sì pointed at the smoke rising in the distance and asked: "Brother, quick look, what is that? Who's cooking with such a big fire?"

  He put down the knife and looked in the direction his brother was pointing, and suddenly shouted "Oh no" in his heart. Where would that be someone's cooking fire, it should be...

  Hurry up and get ashore, grab your brother's hand and run towards the mountain: in the distance, it was their home, Fengyang East Township. At this time, every household had already started a fire, with thick smoke rolling in, and vaguely visible were many horseback riding soldiers, galloping back and forth - killing people!
