"Your Highness, this is …" Jing Ke looked at the things that Xia Pingan had people bring in with a shocked expression.
Several attendants stood in front of Jing Ke with bowed bodies. On the plates in their hands were four pairs of lifelike and polished hands of beauties.
"Hahaha, Qing Jing, didn't you say that the girl's hands were beautiful a few days ago? These days, I asked all the skilled craftsmen in the Yan Kingdom to sculpt a pair of golden hands, a pair of silver hands, a pair of jade hands, and a pair of bronze hands according to the appearance of the girl's hands. I'll give these four pairs of hands, together with the girl playing the zither, to Qing Jing. You can enjoy them to your heart's content in the future!" Xia Pingan laughed out loud.
"Your Highness, why do you have to do this?" Jing Ke sighed as he looked at the four pairs of magnificent hands and the gentle and beautiful girl playing the zither in front of him.
Xia Pingan smiled, "As time flies, beauties age easily. These hands of beauties will not be so perfect and beautiful in a few more years. However, these four pairs of hands of beauties can be preserved in the world for thousands of years. After thousands of years, when you and I are no longer here, these four pairs of hands of beauties can still be preserved. When people see these four pairs of hands of beauties, they will know what kind of hands of beauties can make Qing Jing fall in love with them. You and I will leave behind a good story for the future generations!"
Jing Ke was moved. Such a gift was too special. He had never received such a gift before.
These days, Crown Prince Dan had built a mansion for him, gifted him beauties, gold, silver, and treasures. These were all normal things. However, these four pairs of hands of beauties and Crown Prince Dan's words just now revealed a sense of sincerity, which made Jing Ke speechless.
"Jing Ke thanks Your Highness!" Jing Ke bowed deeply to Xia Pingan. After that, he waved his hand to dismiss the girl playing the zither and the attendants. After that, he said to Xia Pingan, "I've already understood Your Highness's intention. However, if we want to get close to assassinate Emperor Qin, we need two more things!"
"What else does Qing Jing need?"
"I also need Fan Yuqi's severed head and the map of Shengdi Governor Kang. If I present these two things to Emperor Qin, Emperor Qin will not be suspicious and will have a chance to get close to Emperor Qin!"
…
Not long after, the world of the Realm Pearl shattered and Xia Pingan opened his eyes in the resting room of the Inspection Department.
Fusing with this Realm Pearl wasn't difficult. In the real history, when Crown Prince Dan praised the beautiful hands of the zither girl in order to win over Jing Ke, Crown Prince Dan did a very cruel thing in the blink of an eye. He directly chopped off the hands of the zither girl and gave her bloody hands to Jing Ke.
In order to make Jing Ke risk his life for him, the Crown Prince Dan was willing to do anything. Cutting off the hand of a beauty and giving it to Jing Ke was actually not a gift, but a harvest. He wanted Jing Ke to use his life in exchange for this favor.
In the end, Jing Ke had no choice but to do so. If he did not do so, he would become an ungrateful villain.
Crown Prince Dan was an ambitious and ruthless person.
Xia Pingan did not chop off the hands of the zither-playing beauty. Even in the Realm Bead, he did not want to do such a thing. A real man had to do what he could and could not do. He gathered the craftsmen of the Yan Kingdom and made four pairs of Hands of Beauties. Together with the woman, he gave them to Jing Ke.
Reality proved that Jing Ke was moved and was willing to assassinate Qin.
After the fusion of the Realm Beads was completed, the relief sculpture of the summoning assassin in the secret mandala expanded. In addition to Tian Guanglun's bravery, there was also the story of how Crown Prince Dan gave the hands of a beauty to win over Jing Ke. The summoning position of the assassin in the relief sculpture also changed. The assassin's appearance seemed more illusory and crafty. This was a second-grade assassin.
This was the last Realm Bead to be fused today.
Xia Pingan finished fusing with the ten Realm Beads that Lin Yi sent over in one afternoon.
To be honest, Lin Yi was still a little stingy. Among the ten Realm Beads he sent over, eight were Realm Beads with Divine Power and only two Realm Beads with summoning positions.
Of the two Realm Beads, one was' Duke Mu of Qin Lost His Horse 'and the other was' Uncle Yang teaches King Chu archery '.
'Duke Mu of Qin Lost His Horse' allowed Xia Pingan to summon soldiers in the wilderness while 'Uncle Yang teaches King Chu archery' allowed Xia Pingan to summon archers.
Soldiers in the wilderness were more powerful than elite slave soldiers. Soldiers in the wilderness could fight like a regular army and had the ability to hunt.
Back then, Duke Mu of Qin lost his beloved horse. As a result, his beloved horse was caught and eaten by a group of people living on a mountain. Then, the officials of Qin State caught those people who ate Duke Mu of Qin's beloved horse and sent them to Duke Mu of Qin, asking him to punish them.
Unexpectedly, after Duke Mu of Qin knew what had happened, he told those people that a gentleman would not harm others with animals. After eating horse meat, one would easily hurt others if one didn't drink wine. Therefore, he rewarded those people with fine wine. Later, Duke Mu of Qin attacked the Jin Kingdom and was besieged by the Jin Kingdom's army. He was on the verge of death. Hearing the news, those mountain people who had been eating his horses and drinking his wine formed a dare-to-die assault team of more than 300 people. They forcibly rescued Duke Mu of Qin from the siege of the Jin Kingdom's army and turned defeat into victory.
However, as long as one had enough divine power, they could summon an unlimited number of elite slave soldiers while they could only summon 360 soldiers in the wilderness.
After half a day, Xia Pingan merged with another 11 Realm Beads in his resting room. The divine power limit of the secret mandala reached 5,756 points. He was closer to the 6,930 points of the Six Sun Realm.
Xia Pingan walked out of the resting room. It was evening outside the window. It was almost time for the Inspection Department to get off work.
Xia Pingan called the iron masked man and left the Inspection Department with the little black pig. They went to the roadside and called a carriage to the bank of the Shang Dynasty.
An hour later, Xia Pingan came out of the bank. Most of the gold notes on him had been exchanged for gold coins and stored in his spatial warehouse.
…
The carriage passed by a bustling street and randomly found a restaurant to have a sumptuous dinner. When he returned to his rented courtyard in Changle Alley, the sky was already dark.
Xia Pingan returned to his room and had a good sleep. When he woke up a few hours later, it was already late at night.
Xia Pingan walked out of his room energetically. The tiredness and confusion that came from merging dozens of Realm Beads disappeared after a good night's sleep.
It was completely silent outside. Only the sound of insects could be heard. The courtyard was filled with moonlight. Xia Pingan came to the living room and saw the iron masked man sitting in the dark room like a statue. He was startled.
"Why aren't you sleeping? You gave me a fright," Xia Pingan said.
"Aren't you awake too?"
"I just took a nap. I'm going to the secret room to study the changes in the secret mandala!"
"Hmm, it's the same for me to meditate here …" The iron masked man nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.
Xia Pingan didn't say anything and directly entered the secret underground chamber. He thought to himself, 'The 100,000 gold coins I spent today were well worth it. After taking the gold coins, the iron-masked man became even more diligent in his job as a bodyguard.
…
A few minutes later, Xia Pingan entered the Spiritual Realm through the Golden Arch again.
The night in the Spiritual Realm seemed to be as bright as day. The sky was full of brilliance. The stars appeared again and everything in the Spiritual Realm became lively again.
Xia Pingan took the waist token and long sword of the Spirit Herder and silently entered the gray mist.
The Spiritual Realm was completely different from the real world. Xia Pingan had tried before. The waist token and long sword of the Spiritual Realm could only be brought to the Spiritual Realm Shrine in the secret mandala. They couldn't be brought to the real world at all.
Xia Pingan let the gray mist wrap around his body and hide his tracks. He ran on the ground and quickly rushed towards the Spirit Herder Castle he saw yesterday.
But after a few minutes, Xia Pingan felt that something was wrong and suddenly stopped in the gray mist.
Xia Pingan felt that there was something in the sky. He looked up and saw that the souls of the stars in the sky were entangled by a black thing, which made them look dim. If it weren't for the black thing wriggling and causing the stars to flicker strangely, he wouldn't have noticed it.
Xia Pingan was shocked when he took a closer look. He didn't know what the black thing entangled on the stars was.
The monster had a snake-like body and was covered in black scales. However, it had six ant-like legs and a pair of huge antennae on the monster's forehead. They were like suction cups that were sucking on the spiritual stars in the sky.
