The entire court of Yan was filled with expressions of shock, each person wearing a look of bewilderment and incomprehension.

"What assassination?"

"What envoy assassination?"

"What is going on?"

"Are there assassins hidden within our Yan envoy? Attempting to assassinate the King of Qin?"

"Impossible, isn't it?"

"Could it be that the Great King arranged this? Sending someone to assassinate the King of Qin?"

"Seeing the Qin envoy's attitude, and Qin's sudden military mobilization, could it really be because of the assassination attempt? If that's true, then our Yan is in grave danger."

"Our Yan envoy attempted assassination, giving Qin justification, while Qi and Chu have no reason to send troops to assist us."

"This is not good."

"Why would the Great King be so foolish, how could he send assassins?"

"What should we do now?"

Just a few words from the Qin envoy.

The Yan ministers, who were loudly cursing earlier, were all dumbfounded, no longer daring to curse.

At this moment, they were all in panic.

Judging by the Qin envoy's composed demeanor, perhaps this matter is true.

In this case, it is indeed Yan's fault!

"Qin Envoy."

"Could... could the matter be irreparable?"

The King of Yan spoke with a tone of slight vulnerability and even more pleading towards the Qin envoy.

As soon as these words were spoken.

The entire face of Yan's civil and military officials changed completely.

Looking at the King's attitude.

The assassination attempt seemed true.

"King of Yan."

"If it were my Qin envoy attempting to assassinate you, nearly costing you your life, would you forgive them?" The Qin envoy sneered.

There was no concealment of the coldness in his eyes.

As a Qin envoy stationed in Yan, he represented the face of Qin.

With the envoy's backbone, unafraid of death.

This time he came for Qin and for the dignity of being a Great Qin minister.

If the ruler is humiliated, the minister dies.

So it has been since ancient times.

"Qin envoy, this matter was not of my doing."

"If I hand over the one orchestrating this, could the matter be remedied?" The King of Yan still spoke in a low tone.

This time.

Yan had indeed caused a great calamity.

"There's no need for such, King of Yan."

"Your Yan envoy's leader and deputy were aware of the assassination attempt, to Great Qin, this is attributed to Yan."

"If the assassination succeeded, causing turmoil in Qin, wouldn't this be what Yan desires?"

"Now with just a few words, you wish to gloss over the assassination attempt, King of Yan, you think too simply."

The Qin envoy sneered.

The words fell.

Without waiting for the King's grim expression, without waiting for him to speak.

"The declaration of war edict has been delivered."

"I now return to Qin."

"If the King of Yan wishes to kill me, go ahead and try."

The Qin envoy sneered once more.

Directly placing the declaration of war edict on the ground, regardless of whether the King of Yan would accept it or not.

To Qin, whether it is accepted or not, the army has already begun its advance.

As for the Qin envoy's own life and death, he wasn't afraid at all.

If he died.

Countless others would accompany him to the grave.

This, is the dignity of the nation.

And an envoy represents the nation's dignity.

Then.

The Qin envoy directly turned, flicked his sleeves, and walked out of the Yan's Morning Discussion Hall in large strides.

Facing this.

The entire court of Yan dared not speak, the King of Yan dared not make a sound.

Those who previously spoke of tearing the Qin envoy to pieces were now all silent.

Everyone silently watched the Qin envoy leave.

After a long while.

The silence of the entire Yan court slowly began to lift.

"Great King."

"What exactly is going on?"

"Could it be that the envoy's assassination was arranged by the Great King?"

Qing Qin raised his head, asking with a hint of apprehension.

The entire civil and military court also turned to look at the King of Yan.

Among them, many held eyes full of reproach.

This matter had turned Yan, who held the moral high ground, into one bereft of righteousness.

Assassination in the hall.

Or being hidden within the envoy.

No matter what.

Yan could not escape the crime of assassination.

Feeling the gaze of the ministers.

The King of Yan sighed: "Would I be so foolish?"

"Since it wasn't arranged by the Great King."

"Then who could arrange assassins within the envoy?" A Yan minister asked in confusion.

Upon hearing this.

The King of Yan's face turned an ashen shade.

"Summon the Crown Prince to the hall."

The King of Yan spoke coldly, his voice as chilling as the netherworld.

With that one command.

The courtiers exchanged glances.

"Could it be arranged by the Crown Prince?"

Looking at the King of Yan's ashen face, everyone felt the murderous intent, along with anger.

Yet at this moment.

No one dared to speak.

The entire court plunged again into oppression.

After a while.

Yan Dan entered the hall.

Seeing the oppressively charged hall, Yan Dan had already anticipated something.

"Your son greets Father King." Yan Dan bowed deeply.

Looking at Yan Dan.

The King of Yan's eyes were filled with coldness.

"Kneel."

The King of Yan commanded coldly.

Yan Dan did not hesitate, kneeling immediately.

"Do you know the grave error you have committed?" The King of Yan's voice trembled, shouting in fury.

"Though this has failed, your son sees no error."

"Had this plan succeeded, it would have thrown Qin into chaos, and our Yan's opportunity would arise."

"Our Yan could not only avoid the disaster of being conquered but also become stronger."

Yan Dan lifted his head, speaking stubbornly.

With just a sentence.

The entire Yan court understood completely.

This matter was indeed arranged by Yan Dan.

Looking at Yan Dan.

Many ministers struggled to hide their disappointment and anger.

"You fool."

"Even now you do not repent?"

"Do you not know you have brought our Yan to the brink of destruction?" The King of Yan shouted angrily.

Yan Dan still held his head high, responding loudly: "Even if we face destruction, it's only a matter of sooner or later."

"Ying Zheng harbors treacherous ambitions, even without the assassination attempt, he would inevitably invade our Yan. With our Yan's national power, we cannot possibly resist Qin."

"This time I took a gamble for the national fortune of our Yan. Though it failed, it was enough to inspire our whole country of Yan."
