If the Mohists also had the concept of a crown prince, then he was the crown prince.

This shows how much Six-Fingered Black Knight values ​​him.

For this reason, he also knew about the token.

Yan Dan's expression immediately changed, and he was very surprised. "This is the Shennong Token... Brother Tian Guang, you?"

He guessed Tian Guang's identity.

Everything went as he had predicted. After taking out the Shennong Token, Tian Guang bowed to Yan Dan and said, "The leader of the Farmer's School greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The truth has come to light.

Tian Guang's true identity is that of a chivalrous leader among farmers.

No wonder the other party took in Fan Yuqi, no wonder the Qin state spent years searching for him without success; it turns out he was hidden away by the peasants.

However, even after learning Tian Guang's true identity, Yan Dan still had new questions in her mind.

Why does Brother Tian Guang want to help me? To help the State of Yan?

What was the peasant hero's motive for going to such lengths to help him?

Tian Guang quickly provided an answer to this question.

"It is not that I want to help His Highness the Crown Prince, but rather that I, a descendant of farmers, want to help His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Who?" Upon learning that there was another person behind the farmer's house, Yan Dan was greatly shocked and quickly asked.

"His Highness the Crown Prince has met this person before and is quite familiar with him."

"I've seen it before?" Yan Dan became even more curious.

Immediately, Tian Guang uttered a name, "Lord Changping!"

"It's him?!" Yan Dan thought of the man she met in Qin when she was a hostage there. He was a kind and amiable man. She never expected that this loyal minister to Ying Zheng would be the mastermind behind the peasant family.

The other party actually assigned farmers to help them.

Next, Tian Guang recounted the relationship between the farmer and Lord Changping.

Outside, snow was falling, but inside the post station, it was very warm.

Yan Dan couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined that the rapid expansion of the peasant faction's power in Chu and the Central Plains over the past twenty years was actually due to the support of Lord Changping."

"Now, the farming community has become a force for him outside the imperial court and in the martial arts world."

Tian Guang showed no expression at Yan Dan's sentiments. He picked up the wooden dummy's head from the table, held it between his fingers, and continued, "This is all part of Lord Changping's plan. It started when I helped Your Highness escape from Qin, and it continues to this day when I came to Yan to help Your Highness achieve your wish."

"Was it all arranged by Lord Changping back then?" Yan Dan's feelings suddenly became very complicated. He had always thought that his ability to escape Qin was due to his own resourcefulness, but also largely to the help of the Mohists. In addition, Lord Dongjun, who came from the Yin-Yang School, had also helped him a lot.

 …

He knew, of course, that Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School approached him and chose to come to the Yan Kingdom with him for ulterior motives, but he didn't care, after all, Dongjun was a powerful expert.

Moreover, the Yin-Yang School was originally based in the State of Yan. Zou Yan had once assisted King Zhao of Yan, so it is not surprising that the Yin-Yang School would help him, the crown prince of Yan.

Now, he suddenly learned that his escape from Qin was not only due to the Yin-Yang School, but more importantly, it was due to the arrangements made by Lord Changping. How could he not overthink this?

"From the peasant school to the Mohist school, from the Qin state, the Chu state, and then to the Yan state... This Lord Changping's reach was truly far-reaching and omnipresent, and his schemes were meticulously planned from afar, yet they were all foolproof. It is hard to imagine that all of this was done by one person."

Tian Guang lowered his head and uttered an undeniable statement: "In the entire world, there is only one Lord Changping!"

Yan Dan remained silent, skillfully avoiding the topic, and asked, "Does Fan Yuqi's arrival in Yan mean that Lord Changping is ready to make a move?"

Tian Guang didn't speak, but silence was the best answer.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Yan Dan finally voiced his deepest question: "Why would Lord Changping, a high-ranking official of Qin, want to destroy Qin?"

Tian Guang also provided an answer to this question.

"Although Lord Changping is an important minister of Qin, he is also a prince of Chu!" (5.)

Chapter 314 Different Countries, Same Goal!

Tian Guang's words made Yan Dan understand why Lord Changping had gone to such lengths to plan so many things.

It turns out, it was for the sake of the State of Chu.

He also knew some things about Lord Changping. Lord Changping's father was King Kaolie of Chu. In the past, he was a hostage in the State of Qin. Later, he married the daughter of King Zhaoxiang of Qin and had Lord Changping.

In terms of status, Lord Changping was the grandson of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, making him a generation older than Ying Zheng.

Later, with the help of Lord Chunshen (Huang Xie), King Kaolie of Chu escaped back to Chu. Lord Changping was left in Qin. Fortunately, at that time, Qin and Chu were constantly forming marriage alliances, and under the care of Queen Dowager Huayang, Lord Changping was able to grow up peacefully in Qin.

Later, Empress Dowager Huayang even held a wedding for Ying Zheng, who married a princess from the State of Chu.

It is worth mentioning that the Chu princess whom Ying Zheng married, strictly speaking, was actually the half-sister of Lord Changping, according to the "four-four-seven" generational ranking. As a result, his generational relationship changed again, making it more difficult to discuss with Ying Zheng.

But this is not surprising.

Since the collapse of the social order, there have been countless chaotic and disorderly marriage alliances among the various states.

Yan Dan wasn't thinking about these matters of seniority, but rather about how well Qin had treated Lord Changping. Although Lord Changping was from Chu, he was born and raised in Qin and had never spent a single day in Chu.

As it turns out, this very person always longed for the State of Chu.

What an interesting thing this is!

Then he realized the significance of Lord Changping sending Tian Guang to him to persuade him to assassinate Ying Zheng.

If Changping Jun's sole purpose was to preserve the State of Chu...

So why would he try to persuade him, the crown prince of Yan, to assassinate King Ying Zheng of Qin?

"Changping-kun, you're using me as a weapon!"

Yan Dan had thought of this.

This is a method of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

Lord Changping orchestrated everything for him, and all he had to do was act as an executor to assassinate Ying Zheng.

If successful, the Qin state would lose its king. Ying Zheng's son, Fusu, was too young to succeed to the throne, and for a long time, the Qin state would not have the mind to conquer other states.

If they fail, the King of Qin will be furious, and his anger will only be directed at the State of Yan, not at the State of Chu.

As for why Tian Guang was brought to him at this time to propose this plan...

Yan Dan also guessed the answer.

Because Lord Changping panicked.

With the fall of the states of Han and Zhao, large swathes of Chu's territory were directly exposed to Qin's watchful eye. Given Chu's vast territory, Qin could launch attacks on Chu from multiple directions simultaneously.

In fact, for the Qin state at present, the Chu state is the biggest rival, and the Qin state may very well take advantage of the situation and destroy the Chu state first.

Because the remaining countries are not very strong.

The states of Wei and Yan were both extremely weak.

As for the State of Qi?

He was nothing more than a loyal lackey of the Qin state.

However, even after understanding this, Yan Dan did not point out Changping Jun's conspiracy.

They even planned to do something like that.

Because the State of Yan had no other choice.

He had to seize the last glimmer of hope.

Let him be the knife.

However, Yan Dan then faced another problem.

Tian Guang had already explained the specific plan to him.

Fan Yuqi's head, located in the Dukang region of the Yan state, was enough to allow the envoy to approach Ying Zheng within ten steps.

Moreover, with the assistance of Lord Changping in the Qin state, the weapons hidden in the scroll should also be able to be brought before Ying Zheng.

The biggest problem right now is, who should be chosen to carry out the assassination?

Tian Guang has already put forward a plan and prepared Fan Yuqi's head, so it is obviously not good to trouble the farmers to take action.

Therefore, only the Mohists could be considered.

Yan Dan couldn't help but recall what Han Fei had said to him when he was in the Qin state before he was about to flee.

"To save the Yan Kingdom, we must make good use of all the power at our disposal, and we must stop at nothing..."

Did Han Fei foresee all of this?

That's why he came to me and said those words.

The fall of the state of Han filled Han Fei with deep hatred.

Because his ancestral temple still existed, and his father and brothers had all been brought to Qin alive, he harbored hatred, but not to the point of personally destroying Han.

However, the other side was also happy to see the Qin state fall into turmoil.

Yan Dan thought of the people he had met while he was a hostage in Qin...
