The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

"What is it?" Tian Guang asked, somewhat curious.

Jiang Chuan said, "Even if Yan Dan accepts your assassination plan, the Mo family may not be willing to help Yan Dan."

"The Mohists have always advocated universal love and non-aggression. Although they were hostile to the Qin state, the assassination attempt, whether successful or not, would bring about a huge uproar that would affect the entire world. The Mohists dared not gamble on it."

"This is a major event that affects millions of people!"

After hearing this, Tian Guang remained silent for a moment before saying, "Of course I've considered this matter, but this is all we can do."

"In the end, we are not people of Yan. It is Yan Dan who truly wants to preserve Yan."

"Therefore, this is another issue involving trade-offs."

"Is Yan Dan willing to sacrifice the Mohist school for the sake of the Yan state, or to sacrifice the Yan state for the sake of the Mohist school?"

Tian Guang's words were tinged with a hint of emotion.

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Chuan gave Tian Guang a deep look, but said nothing more.

Chapter 319 Decisions and Choices!

These past few days, Yan Dan has been unable to sleep at night.

His mind kept replaying the assassination plan that Tian Guang had proposed to him.

He had considered temporarily forgetting about the assassination attempt and seeking other ways to save the Yan state.

For example, the matter of forming an alliance.

Now that the states of Han and Zhao have been destroyed one after another, the remaining states should join forces to fight against the state of Qin.

However, in today's world, how difficult is it to form an alliance?

With the destruction of Han and Zhao, the passage between Yan and Wei and Chu was cut off. As for Qi, the only state bordering Yan, it had always followed Qin's lead. Why were there only five states in the previous alliances against Qin? It was because Qi did not participate.

Aside from the alliance against Qin, the idea of ​​relying on the strength of Yan to fight against Qin was a joke.

The State of Yan was weak and could not even defeat the State of Zhao, which was once considered the "fourth, fifth, and third" of the state. In contrast, the State of Zhao was destroyed by the State of Qin.

Now, Qin general Wang Jian's army is stationed near the Yi River, looking ready to attack. It only takes one order from Ying Zheng of Qin to launch an attack on Yan.

In this time of crisis, the State of Yan had to take action.

They could either actively prepare their troops for war, or send envoys to Xianyang to seek peace with Ying Zheng.

The former has little hope, almost nonexistent.

The latter, however, is a risky approach; if successful, the Yan state could be preserved.

Because he had no other choice, Yan Dan could only pin his hopes on assassination, and over time, he became somewhat obsessed with it.

On that day, he took the initiative to meet with Tian Guang.

The meeting place was still the post station outside the city.

When Yan Dan arrived, Tian Guang had been waiting there for a long time. Upon seeing Tian Guang, Yan Dan suddenly felt a sense of relief.

He immediately went to sit down in front of Tian Guang.

Unbeknownst to Yan Dan, outside the post station, amidst the wind and snow, a figure stood silently. The snowflakes drifted by but did not fall on the other person, and Yan Dan was completely unaware of the other person's presence or aura.

This is because the other party's existence has become one with heaven and earth.

This is an extremely profound state of "harmony between man and nature".

Inside the post station.

Yan Dan complained to Tian Guang, "I don't understand why the Grand Master would refuse such a righteous matter."

"Even without the help of the Grand Master, I can still send envoys to Xianyang to carry out the assassination. However, without the help of the Mohists, it would be extremely difficult to succeed in the assassination."

The reason it is so high is that Yan Dan has no experts under his command who can take on important responsibilities.

The Mohist school has many masters.

In addition, there are the world's top swordsmiths; only they have the ability to forge weapons that can kill with a single blow.

After finishing her grievances, Yan Dan looked at Tian Guang and said, "Mr. Tian Guang, there are many experts in the Farmer's School. I wonder if it would be possible to..."

He wanted Tian Guang to help him accomplish this.

Tian Guang naturally knew Yan Dan's thoughts, so he decisively refused, "In order to help Lord Changping plan these things, my peasant family is already mired in trouble, and we really don't have much spare strength to help His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Furthermore, Your Highness should know that the biggest beneficiary of this assassination is... the Yan Kingdom."

Yan Dan remained silent; of course he knew this principle.

After all, the state of Yan was the one most in need of saving.

It's already quite remarkable that Tian Guang and Changping Jun were willing to offer him some help.

Admittedly, Lord Changping also had the intention of preserving the state of Chu.

But Lord Changping didn't necessarily have to protect the State of Chu.

That was merely Changping Jun's obsession. However, Changping Jun was not the crown prince of Chu. Even if Chu were to perish, Changping Jun would be fine; he would still be an important minister of Qin.

And he, Yan Dan, was the crown prince of the Yan state.

If the Yan state were to fall, he would certainly not have a good end.

"Your Highness, hesitation will only lead to more trouble!"

Tian Guang said another thing.

Yan Dan's gaze hardened, and he remained silent for a moment before saying, "I need to think about it..."

He was indeed caught in a dilemma.

The Mohists refused to help him, while the Farmers' School, to which Tian Guang belonged, had already provided him with a great deal of assistance. He was not a member of the Farmers' School and had no right to demand their help. Moreover, the Farmers' School was more likely to help the State of Chu than to help him, since Lord Changping was the one behind the Farmers' School.

Because Lord Changping was the mastermind behind the peasants, the peasants obeyed him in every way and were extremely loyal to him.

And what about yourself?

Although he was the crown prince of Yan, he was also a candidate for the position of leader within the Mohist school...

But he was not the true leader of the Mohist school; the one who truly controlled the entire Mohist school was still the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

When a person is drowning, they will often try their best to grasp at the last straw. At this moment, Yan Dan couldn't help but think of Yan Fei's suggestion that day.

Although Yanfei's suggestion was based on the ideas of the Yin-Yang School, and Yan Dan had rejected it sharply at the time, he couldn't help but think of it again at this moment.

If things continue as they are, once Six-Fingered Black Knight dies of old age, he can become the new leader of the Mohist school.

But the Six-Fingered Black Knight is powerful and physically strong; it's unknown how many more years he can live.

What if Six-Fingered Black Knight had an accident and died?

Could I become the new leader of the Mohist school?

Yan Dan couldn't help but think about it.

……

Outside the post station, Jiangchuan stood quietly amidst the wind and snow.

He overheard Tian Guang and Yan Dan's conversation, and a strange smile crept onto his lips.

There is no doubt that Yan Dan is now in a dilemma.

He's become obsessed with the state of Yan.

Jiang Chuan was eager to know what Yan Dan would choose under these circumstances, and whether she would try to kill Six-Fingered Black Knight and take his place.

Despite the fact that in the original story, Yan Fei was reprimanded by Yan Dan for trying to take action against the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

0.5 But in reality, Yan Dan was just someone who reaped the benefits without contributing anything.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight died in the forbidden area of ​​the Mo Clan. As the leader of the Mo Clan, Yan Dan was qualified to enter the forbidden area. Did he not know this?

He knew, of course, but he never told anyone else.

Given Yan Dan's understanding of the Yin-Yang School, he was absolutely capable of discovering the Six Soul Curse that afflicted Six-Fingered Black Knight, but he never revealed this to anyone.

Instead, they shifted the blame for attacking Six-Fingered Black Knight onto Wei Zhuang.

He, on the other hand, cleanly absolved himself of all responsibility and became the leader of the Mohist school. Then, he used the Mohist school to achieve his own selfish desires, and the Mohist school embarked on a path of no return.

Now, would Yan Dan also choose to kill Six-Fingered Black Knight?

Just as Jiang Chuan was thinking this, he sensed a powerful aura, and his gaze immediately sharpened.

Chapter 320 Goodbye Concubine Yan

Amidst the wind and snow, Jiang Chuan's figure suddenly moved, leaving no footprints on the snow. This was the epitome of "walking without leaving a trace in the snow." In an instant, he was far away from the location of the inn. Then, his palm emerged from his sleeve and struck out with a palm.

The powerful palm strike pierced through the wind and snow, striking towards a graceful figure.

After feeling Jiang Chuan's palm strike, the opponent also struck out with his own palm.

boom!

The two palms collided, and the scorching heat swept through, scattering all the surrounding wind and snow. Impacted by the scorching heat, the wind and snow instantly turned into a torrential downpour that fell from the sky.
