He had already thought everything through on the way.

Changping-kun has prepared everything and is just waiting for someone to carry it out.

Even if it's a conspiracy.

Chang became a weapon, severely damaging the Qin state, thus achieving the goal of preserving the Chu state.

But if this matter succeeds, it won't just be the State of Chu that will be preserved; the State of Yan will also be spared.

After searching in vain for a way to save the country, Yan Dan had no other choice.

He had to seize this last glimmer of hope.

So, upon returning here, he immediately wrote a letter.

The recipient of the letter was the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist school.

Years ago, the Six-Fingered Black Knight took him into the Mohist school and took good care of him. Over the years, he has always considered himself a disciple of the Mohist school. Now, the Qin state is tyrannical and Ying Zheng is extremely cruel. He hopes that the Mohist school can stand on his side and help him kill this tyrant Ying Zheng, and love all the world, so as to achieve the goal of non-aggression.

The Mohists were the most powerful ally that Yan Dan could conceive of.

Chapter 316 Refusal to Assassinate the King!

Not long after Yan Dan sent out his letter, the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist school, arrived in Ji City.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight was very famous in the martial arts world. Besides the fact that the Mo family itself was very famous, it was also related to his own kind-heartedness, benevolence and chivalry. In addition, there was something else that amazed people in the martial arts world: he had six fingers on his left hand. In addition, he liked to wear a black dress. Over time, he got the name Six-Fingered Black Knight.

The headquarters of the Mohist school is naturally not in the Yan Kingdom, but Six-Fingered Black Knight is indeed in the Yan Kingdom recently, which is why he was able to arrive in Ji City as soon as possible.

There are two reasons why he was in the Yan state.

Firstly, he played a significant role in Yan Dan's escape from Qin. During Yan Dan's escape, the Yin-Yang School intervened to intercept him. In that process, he single-handedly fought against the five elders of the Yin-Yang School to cover Yan Dan's retreat, thus escaping unscathed. After that, he and Yan Dan came to the land of Yan and Zhao.

However, there was one thing that Six-Fingered Black Knight was unaware of: when he was facing the five elders of the Yin-Yang School, the members of the Yin-Yang School had already infiltrated Yan Dan's inner circle and followed him to the Yan Kingdom.

Yan Dan did not tell Six-Fingered Black Knight about this directly; he concealed the woman's identity.

Because he knew very well that the Yin-Yang School and the Mohist School had never gotten along. Although he didn't know the reason for their conflict, the martial arts of the Yin-Yang School did indeed restrain the Mohist School. Only when the Mohist School cultivated its internal energy to the level of universal love could it ignore this restraint.

At that time, the Qin state attacked Zhao. The Six-Fingered Black Knight first walked on the land of Zhao, wanting to stop the war and do non-aggression. Unfortunately, he ultimately destroyed nothing, and the Zhao state was eventually destroyed.

Wang Jian's army then marched north to seize territory, threatening the southern border of Yan. The Yan Kingdom was in grave danger. The Six-Fingered Black Knight did not return to the headquarters of the Mo Clan, but instead wandered the land of Yan.

With a large number of disciples in the Mohist school and Yan Dan holding a prominent position within it, it wouldn't be difficult for him to quickly contact the Six-Fingered Black Knight through the help of Mohist disciples.

Inside the Crown Prince's residence.

Having traveled all night, the Six-Fingered Black Knight's face was covered in frost, and he looked quite exhausted. He asked Yan Dan, "Your Highness, why did you summon me to Ji City in such a hurry?"

Yan Dan looked at the Six-Fingered Black Knight and said in a deep voice, "The leader of the Farmer's Clan found me and told me about a plan!"

He didn't reveal who the leader of the Farmer's Clan was, but only mentioned the plan that Tian Guang had mentioned to him.

Unexpectedly, after revealing the plan to assassinate the Qin emperor, they were met with fierce opposition from the Six-Fingered Black Knight: "Your Highness, the entire Mohist school cannot comply with this order!"

Yan Dan was stunned after hearing Six-Fingered Black Knight's words. He looked at Six-Fingered Black Knight in confusion, not understanding why the other party would refuse. "Grand Master, why do you disagree with this matter? You accepted me into the Mohist school and taught me the spirit of the Mohist school. Our Mohist school advocates universal love and non-aggression. The Qin state is tyrannical and rampant, wantonly starting wars. Now it has even destroyed the Han and Zhao states. If the Qin state continues like this, sooner or later the flames of war will spread to the whole world."

"This contradicts our Mohist school's doctrine of non-aggression. At this time, Prince Changping of Chu, who is in Qin, and the Farmer's School are preparing to carry out this righteous act. If this succeeds, it can save the people of the world from suffering. I don't understand why the Grand Master refuses?"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight saw things very clearly. He explained to Yan Dan, "Your Highness, you only thought that after assassinating Ying Zheng, Qin would fall into internal strife, but you didn't consider that it was an extremely difficult thing to succeed."

"Even if, as you say, Lord Changping is helping in Qin, can this person really be trusted?"

"His purpose was simply to preserve the State of Chu."

"If Ying Zheng is assassinated, the State of Chu can be preserved. If the assassination fails and Ying Zheng is not dead, the State of Yan will directly bear the wrath of the State of Qin, while the State of Chu will remain unharmed. On the contrary, many ordinary people of the State of Yan will become victims of the war."

“It is precisely because my Mohist school advocates universal love that I disagree with doing such a thing.”

"During this time, I traveled throughout the land of Yan. I can say that the common people have already suffered greatly, and they should not have to endure the wrath of Qin any longer..."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight harbors a great love.

When the Qin state launched a war, he tried his best to stop it, not to help those countries, but to help the civilians who were suffering in the war.

The struggle for power and the wars between nations should not have affected these innocent people.

In the past, the Six-Fingered Black Knight recruited Yan Dan into the Mohist school because Yan Dan, despite being the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom, was compassionate towards the common people and willing to mingle with them.

Therefore, he became close to Yan Dan and taught him the Mohist philosophy.

If Yan Dan were willing to promote the Mohist school of thought in the Yan state, the entire Yan state would be saved, and the lives of the lower classes would improve.

But today, Six-Fingered Black Knight realizes he was wrong.

Or rather, he wasn't wrong; rather, when the Yan state faced a crisis, Yan Dan had become somewhat obsessed with saving the country.

Yan Dan still wanted to persuade Six-Fingered Black Knight.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight remained resolute. He then said to Yan Dan, "As long as I remain the leader of the Mohist school, the Mohist school will adhere to the principle of non-aggression. The Mohist school will not, and cannot, do anything that could provoke an even greater war!"

"Your Highness, farewell!"

With that, the Six-Fingered Black Knight turned and left, ending the meeting on bad terms.

Yan Dan still wanted to persuade Six-Fingered Black Knight to stay, but after thinking about it, she finally gave up.

He decided to let Six-Fingered Black Knight calm down and think things through, since he hadn't really given him time to consider.

Then (Ma Li's), he started walking around the Crown Prince's residence again.

He stopped at the door of a room.

A woman lived in the room.

Dongjun and Yanfei of the Yin-Yang School.

He met the other person when he was a hostage in Qin. Although he knew the other person's identity, Yan Dan did not reveal it because he had fallen in love with Dongjun when he was young.

He knew, of course, that Dongjun's approach to him, and even his initiative to mention coming to Yan with him, was for ulterior motives, and that he harbored certain purposes of the Yin-Yang School.

He didn't know what the purpose was for the time being.

However, Yan Dan didn't care, simply because he liked Dong Jun.

It would be best if Dongjun was willing to come to Yan with him. He was very confident in himself and believed that he could influence and move Dongjun, thus making her his woman.

Once upon a time, Yan Dan, who held a high position in the Yan state, had become a sycophant.

Chapter 317 Yan Fei's Purpose

Today, the fact that Six-Fingered Black Knight rejected Yan Dan made Yan Dan very upset.

He had assumed that the Six-Fingered Black Knight, as the leader of the Mohist school, would readily agree to such a noble cause, but reality dealt him a heavy blow, leaving the Six-Fingered Black Knight hesitant.

Indeed, the Six-Fingered Black Knight gave him a perfect answer.

But for Yan Dan, such a thing was unacceptable.

Now, the Qin army is stationed on the border of the Yi River, ready to invade the southern territory of Yan at any time. The state of Yan is in grave danger. For Yan Dan, there is no time to hesitate. He must make a decisive decision and find a way to save Yan.

This was his duty as the Crown Prince of Yan.

Because of his depressed mood, Yan Dan was eager to find someone to confide in. Under such circumstances, he inevitably thought of the woman who had come to Yan with him, Dongjun Yanfei of the Yin-Yang School.

Yanfei is the name she holds within the Yin-Yang School.

In truth, Yan Dan preferred to call her Fei Yan.

Feiyan was the name he secretly gave to the other party.

Once the other party accepts this name, it means that there is no longer any relationship between the other party and the Yin Yang School. From now on, the other party is no longer the Dongjun of the Yin Yang School, nor Yanfei, but has become his... Crown Princess.

Unfortunately, Yan Dan was still some distance away from accomplishing this.

The Mohists and the Yin-Yang School had a long-standing feud, and he knew a bit about the 450 schools of Yin-Yang.

Aside from the fact that the Yin-Yang School was an outlier during the time of Zou Yan and helped the State of Yan, the normal Yin-Yang School replaced humanity with divinity, remaining aloof and indifferent to all emotions.

Dongjun held a prominent position within the Yin-Yang School, yet he chose to appear by his side.

It is obvious that there is another purpose.

However, Yan Dan didn't care about these goals. In the end, the Yan Kingdom was in grave danger, and there was nothing left for the Yin Yang School to scheme for. Admittedly, as an ancient kingdom with a long history, Yan Kingdom possessed many secrets, but at present, these secrets were not enough to save Yan Kingdom.

Conversely, if these secrets could be used to lure Dongjun to his side, thereby changing Dongjun's heart and bringing the high and mighty god down to earth, then he could gain the love of his life and a powerful ally.

This is what Yan Dan was thinking.

It was also his personal motive.

It was precisely because of his selfishness that he concealed Yan Fei's true identity from Six-Fingered Black Knight. Also, in the past, Dong Jun lived a secluded life within the Yin-Yang School, unlike the five elders who were renowned throughout the world. Even Six-Fingered Black Knight did not know that this extremely beautiful woman was Dong Jun of the Yin-Yang School.

The door opens.

A woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a beautiful face, yet as cold as ice and snow, slowly walked out.

Yan Fei glanced at Yan Dan, her eyebrows slightly raised. "Is something on your mind?"

Yan Dan had come here unintentionally because he was in a bad mood. He thought Yan Fei was already asleep, but he did not expect her to come out of the room. However, considering her strength, Yan Dan felt that this was not surprising.

Having his thoughts revealed, Yan Dan pondered for a moment before finally nodding and truthfully replying, "Previously, I met with the Grand Master and asked him for some things, hoping to request his help, but he refused."

"Is that so?"
