However, this could not change the fact that Fan Yuqi caused the destruction and death of 100,000 families.
"Perhaps Fan Yuqi's actions saved the State of Zhao from disaster, but he caused the destruction of 100,000 families in the State of Qin. If Fan Yuqi had been brave enough to take responsibility and wisely chose death to show that he did not want to start a war, I might have thought more highly of him," Jiang Chuan continued. "But the fact is, he escaped..."
"On the one hand, he advocated benevolence and righteousness and was unwilling to start a war; on the other hand, he was afraid of being punished by the King of Qin and fled in fear of punishment."
"Does such a person deserve to be called a gentleman?"
"As expected, at this moment, Fan Yuqi was even cursing and hating the King of Qin in his heart."
He believed that the King of Qin was unrighteous and cruel, and that he had killed his parents and his entire family.
"Little did they know, all of this was Fan Yuqi's own fault; the deaths of his parents were entirely his own doing."
"If one day he wants to take revenge on the Qin state because his parents and family were killed by the King of Qin, I just want to say, who should the relatives of those 100,000 dead soldiers take revenge on?"
"Li Mu? Or perhaps...Fan Yuqi!"
Jiang Chuan spoke eloquently, expressing his disdain for Fan Yuqi and revealing Fan Yuqi's thoughts at that moment.
Upon hearing these words, Jing Ke and Gao Jianli immediately fell into deep thought.
After a long silence, Jing Ke asked Jiang Chuan, "You seem to have a lot of opinions about Fan Yuqi?"
Jiang Chuan said, "It's not that I have a problem with Fan Yuqi, but rather that I know a lot of things, so I've disliked Fan Yuqi from the very beginning."
"In my opinion, Fan Yuqi is an absolute villain."
"Although some call him a hero, it still cannot cover up the despicable things he did."
Facing the curious Jing Ke and Gao Jianli, Jiang Chuan continued, "Do you know the hidden story behind the rebellion of Lord Chang'an of Qin in the past?"
"Is there some hidden story behind this?" Jing Ke became even more curious. He didn't know if Jiang Chuan was telling the truth or not, but he didn't mind listening to Jiang Chuan's words as if they were stories.
At this moment, many enemies in the tavern have been eliminated.
The drinks were also available, so drinking and listening to stories was just right.
Jiang Chuan continued, "There is indeed another hidden story!"
He then recounted how Fan Yuqi had instigated the rebellion of Lord Chang'an Chengjiao years ago, and finally revealed that he had escaped disaster only because of the protection of Lü Buwei and Lord Changping.
"From this perspective, Fan Yuqi is truly not a human being!"
He should have been executed for inciting the rebellion of Lord Chang'an Chengjiao, but the King of Qin gave him a chance to redeem himself through meritorious service. However, because of his hypocrisy, he caused the annihilation of the entire Qin army of 100,000.
Qin law was harsh, and no matter how you look at it, the King of Qin's punishment of him was reasonable.
However, Fan Yuqi fled to avoid punishment.
Such a person should be despised in any country.
Jing Ke didn't know if Jiang Chuan was telling the truth or not. If it was true, he really couldn't feel any affection for Fan Yuqi. If he were to meet such a person, he would want to draw his sword and kill him.
"Alright, that's about enough for now."
"Our meeting is like duckweed floating on water, sometimes together, sometimes apart. It is fate that we met. However, a chance encounter is just a coincidence, and now it is time to say goodbye."
"I hope that we will have the opportunity to meet again someday, and I also hope that when we meet again, we will be friends, not enemies."
Jiang Chuan said a lot, then took out some money from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Then Jiang Chuan reached out again, and an invisible force emanated from him, snatching the musical score from Gao Jianli's hand.
Under Gao Jianli's horrified gaze, Jiang Chuan opened the sheet music, looked it over, then closed it, seemingly having memorized it. He then tossed the sheet music back to Gao Jianli.
Gao Jianli took the sheet music, and then Jiang Chuan got up and walked out of the tavern.
His so-called copying of sheet music was actually done in this way?
Is it possible to remember something just by looking at it once?
Gao Jianli was somewhat surprised.
The tavern door was pushed open, the north wind blew, and snowflakes flew. Jiang Chuan, dressed in white and carrying a long sword, quickly disappeared.
Gao Jianli and Jing Ke looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long while, Jing Ke was the first to let out a sigh.
"Truly an extraordinary person!"
Chapter 261 The Myriad Phenomena of Mountains and Rivers, Grandmaster Realm!
His encounter with Jing Ke and Gao Jianli was purely accidental.
Jiang Chuan's feelings towards Gao Jianli and Jing Ke, two characters from the original novel, are actually complex.
Gao Jianli's most profound impression was that he acted the coolest and got the worst beatings.
As the second strongest Mohist in the original novel, second only to the leader Yan Dan, Gao Jianli was no weakling. Before his appearance, he created a mysterious and powerful atmosphere by having Master Xu comment on famous swords. His first battle with the Water Cold Sword was also extremely powerful.
Unfortunately, his good fortune didn't last long, and he was soon humiliated by Wei Zhuang, suffering a crushing defeat at Wei Zhuang's hands.
In the subsequent battle at the farmhouse, he and Big Iron Hammer were soundly beaten when they faced Tian Ci.
Not to mention Gao Jianli's memories in the original work.
At Feixue Pavilion in Yan State, he stood up for Xue Nu, but ended up getting a good beating from Jueying, one of Yan Chun Jun's men.
However, considering that Gao Jianli's primary profession was a musician and his secondary profession was a swordsman, and that he only learned swordsmanship for self-defense, it was already quite remarkable that he had been able to learn it to that level.
It should be noted that Gao Jianli's mastery of music was even greater.
Jiang Chuan felt it was a pity about Jing Ke.
It's a pity that I met the wrong person.
Jiang Chuan didn't know what kind of person Jing Ke was in history, but the friends Jing Ke encountered in the anime were indeed not good men.
Whether it was Prince Yan Dan of Yan State or his close friend Fan Yuqi, if the anime hadn't mentioned what they had done, it would have been fine. But after it was mentioned, Jiang Chuan naturally had no good feelings towards these people.
Consequently, he also felt some sympathy for Jing Ke.
Therefore, after Jing Ke mentioned Kuang Xiu, Jiang Chuan thought of another person involved in the story, Fan Yuqi, which led to his question in the tavern.
Jiang Chuan had no idea what Jing Ke would think afterward.
After leaving the tavern, he disappeared into the snow and continued his travels in the Yan Kingdom.
The State of Yan was very weak. Among the seven states in the world today, its national strength was about the same as that of the State of Han, extremely weak. However, if we go back a few decades, the State of Yan had also accomplished the feat of defeating a stronger state with a weaker one, and almost destroyed the powerful State of Qi.
At the same time, the State of Yan was also very large.
Of the seven kingdoms in the world today, it has three capitals.
The three capitals were Shangdu (Upper Capital) Jicheng, Zhongdu (Middle Capital), and Xiadu (Lower Capital) Wuyangcheng.
Ji City was the earliest capital of the Yan State. Later, due to the Zi Jiao Rebellion, King Zhao of Yan built Wuyang City next to the Yi River, which became the lower capital of the Yan State. During the reign of King Zhao of Yan, the Yan State rapidly grew stronger.
Although the State of Yan is no longer as prosperous as it was during the reign of King Zhao of Yan, the system of three capitals has been preserved.
Among them, Shangdu Jicheng was the location of the ancestral temple of the Yan state.
Zhongdu, on the other hand, was a military fortress, established in the past for use during wartime.
The lower capital, Wuyang City, served as the administrative center.
In earlier years, the major administrative affairs of the Yan state were handled in Wuyang City. Even the current King Xi of Yan had great ambitions in his early years, but due to various accidents, he failed to conquer Zhao and was instead invaded by Zhao. After suffering a defeat, he gradually became disheartened and moved the administrative center from Wuyang City to Ji City.
The main reason for doing this was that Wuyang City was located next to the Yi River, which was too close to the State of Zhao. If the State of Zhao wanted to invade the State of Han, it would have to pass through here. It would be too dangerous to place the administrative center here.
As Prince Xi of Yan moved the administrative center back to Shangdu Jicheng, Wuyang City gradually declined. The Golden Terrace, built next to Wuyang City on the banks of the Yi River, also declined.
The Golden Terrace was a high platform built by King Zhao of Yan to seek out talented people. It was not made of pure gold, but for the many learned people in the world, its existence truly demonstrated King Zhao of Yan's determination to seek out talented people.
The State of Yan also rose to prominence around that time.
King Zhao of Yan became a great ruler comparable to the founder of the Yan state.
Unfortunately, Wuyang City is now in ruins, and the Golden Terrace is overgrown with weeds.
As Jiang Chuan passed by the Yi River, he naturally didn't mind visiting the famous Golden Terrace. Looking at the now desolate Golden Terrace, Jiang Chuan seemed to see the decline of the Yan Kingdom.
He did not stay there for long afterward.
After visiting Huangjintai and Wuyangcheng, they passed through Yanshui, the place where Yan Dan was historically forced to commit suicide.
Here, we must mention the second characteristic of the Yan state.
Although it is as weak as South Korea today, its territory is by no means small, and is much larger than South Korea's.
Of course, although the land is very large, there are not many places suitable for living. Most areas are harsh and cold, with a large but sparsely populated area.
As Jiang Chuan walked through it, he saw many people of different races.
Those were all barbarians.
The states of Yan and Zhao were located near areas inhabited by foreign tribes, such as the Donghu, Yuezhi, and Xiongnu. Not all of them invaded the Central Plains; some were friendly and chose to do business in the Central Plains. Among them, Yan and Zhao were the countries they visited most frequently.
Jiang Chuan merely glanced at them but didn't pay them any further attention.
He continued his journey through the land of Yan.
The Yan and Zhao regions have always been home to many generous and tragic heroes.
Jiang Chuan had already traveled to the Zhao state.
The State of Yan, however, was quite different. Although the two states were very close, their customs and habits were not similar.
