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

Jiang Chuan sheathed his sword, looked at Yan Fei in front of him, and spoke again.

"Humph!"

Yan Fei snorted coldly, ignoring Jiang Chuan's teasing.

Jiang Chuan knew that the other party was unwilling to talk to him, but he still chose to pester him. "As the Eastern Lord of the Yin Yang School, the Yin Yang School broke away from the Yan State many years ago and is now serving the Qin State. But now you have appeared in the Yan State, where the Yin Yang School used to serve. Could it be that the Yin Yang School has changed its mind and wants to return to the embrace of the Yan State?"

Before Yan Fei could answer, Jiang Chuan shook his head again, "No, probably not."

"Now that the Qin state has gained momentum and has successively destroyed the Han and Zhao states, the Yan state is also in grave danger. You have come to the Yan state at this time, which means you have something to do with it."

"Let me think, what exactly does the State of Yan have that would be worth your Yin-Yang School's scheming?"

"I thought of it!"

Jiang Chuan spoke eloquently, uttering four words in front of Yan Fei: "The Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon!"

Yan Fei's pupils immediately contracted sharply, and she was shaken to her core.

Jiang Chuan continued, "Seven countries, seven boxes, the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions have been circulating throughout the world for a long time. It is said that whoever masters it and deciphers its secrets can obtain the powerful force to control the world."

"In the past, there were seven powerful countries in the world, which corresponded to the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon. Your appearance in Korea must be for Korea's control of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon."

"However, because of me, you did not succeed. Now, you have appeared here again just before the fall of the Yan Kingdom. So, are you trying to seize the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions of the Yan Kingdom?"

"Considering your presence near Yan Dan, can I assume that you have gotten close to Yan Dan and infiltrated his inner circle?"

As Jiang Chuan spoke these words, Yan Fei grew increasingly horrified.

If Jiang Chuan only knew about the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, that would be one thing, since this secret is widely known throughout the world and there are quite a few people who know it.

But Jiang Chuan knew the Yin-Yang School's purpose, and he knew her purpose, which made things unusual.

If it weren't for the fact that there were some things only she knew, she would have once thought that Jiang Chuan could read her mind.

"Who are you?"

For the first time, Yan Fei seriously examined the man in front of her.

She didn't know the man's name or background. The first time they met was in the Korean royal palace. Even though he was powerful and defeated her, she didn't care too much. At most, she just remembered him and learned that there were many strong people in the world. Even though she was known as a woman of extraordinary Yin-Yang skills in the Yin-Yang School, there were still people among her peers who could rival her.

Temporary success or failure is nothing; the next victory will be a cause for celebration.

Even now, after losing to Jiang Chuan once again and hearing these words from him, for the first time in her life, she felt curious about a man.

This has never happened before.

Chapter 322 Grand Master, why are you objecting!

Yan Fei has left.

After a brief conversation with Jiang Chuan in the snow, she left the place.

Jiang Chuan also left.

When Jiang Chuan arrived back near the post station, Yan Dan and Tian Guang had just finished their conversation inside. Jiang Chuan immediately circulated his internal energy to conceal his aura and physical form.

Even though Yan Dan was not weak, he still couldn't find Jiang Chuan's whereabouts.

Watching Yan Dan leave, Jiang Chuan returned to Tian Guang's side, revealing his presence. "It seems Yan Dan is conflicted."

Tian Guang was already used to Jiang Chuan's elusive nature. He said in a deep voice, "On one side is the Mohist school, and on the other is the Yan state. For Yan Dan, it's a choice between family and country. Should he protect his family or his country? He can only choose one of the two, and anyone would be extremely conflicted."

"However, I believe that Yan Dan will make up his mind soon."

Tian Guang's tone was extremely confident.

"why?"

Jiang Chuan looked at Tian Guang with some curiosity, waiting for his answer.

"Because besides being a disciple of the Mohist school, Yan Dan's primary identity is that of the Crown Prince of Yan. If he were merely a member of the royal family of Yan, that would be one thing, but he is the Crown Prince of Yan. This identity makes him closely connected with Yan. If Yan were to perish, he would be one of the people who would find it most difficult to accept."

"So, you're convinced that Yan Dan will ultimately abandon... the Mohist school for the sake of the Yan state?"

Tian Guang nodded, "Yes."

"However, I am also very curious to know what Yan Dan will do then, because the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist School, does not agree to the assassination."

How exactly will he convince Six-Fingered Black Knight?

Tian Guang doesn't have an answer to this question yet.

Jiang Chuan looked thoughtful.

……

Jicheng, within the Crown Prince's residence.

After meeting with Wada Hikaru, Yan Dan's melancholy did not dissipate but instead intensified.

If you continue to cut off, you will be subject to chaos.

It's easy to say, but some things are not so easy to decide.

Several more days passed.

Beside the Yi River, the Qin army was stirring with activity, and some of them had already begun to cross the Yi River and enter the territory of southern Yan.

Although the Qin state still did not launch a formal attack on the Yan state, this move only made many ministers in the Yan court more fearful.

Scouts, like shooting stars, kept heading towards Jicheng, reporting the latest movements of the Qin army.

An atmosphere of fear enveloped the entire Yan state.

In the Crown Prince's residence, Yan Dan had just finished talking with his teacher, Ju Wu, the Grand Tutor of Yan. Unfortunately, they still couldn't come up with any good plan to save the country.

Sending envoys to the Qin state to seek peace was the most common method used by various states when facing Qin's conquests.

However, it has now been proven that this method is completely useless when facing the Qin state.

Even though the state of Han sent Han Fei as a hostage to Qin, it still could not change its fate of destruction.

When the State of Zhao was being attacked, it actually tried to make peace, but to no avail.

It was because he saw these things that Yan Dan thought of escaping and returning from the Qin state.

"Is it really the only option to sacrifice the Mohists?"

Yan Dan's eyes narrowed.

On one hand, there was the nearly thousand-year-old Yan Kingdom, the land and its people; on the other hand, there was the Mohist school, which treated him extremely well, and the Mohist leader, Six-Fingered Black Knight, whom he regarded as his father.

In Yan Dan's heart, she already knew which was more important.

It is said that the Mohists were to be sacrificed, but in reality, only one person needed to be sacrificed.

That was the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist school.

However, even so, making up one's mind is not so easy.

Yan Dan decided to meet Six-Fingered Black Knight again.

And so, another letter was sent to Six-Fingered Black Knight.

It was still in the Crown Prince's residence that Yan Dan and Six-Fingered Black Knight met.

Upon seeing Six-Fingered Black Knight again, Yan Dan first apologized to him for his previous rudeness.

Faced with Yan Dan's apology, Six-Fingered Black Knight gladly accepted it. He planned to continue teaching Yan Dan the true meaning of universal love and non-aggression, so that Yan Dan would give up the idea of ​​assassinating Ying Zheng.

Because once this matter is implemented, regardless of success or failure, it will be a curse rather than a blessing for all living beings.

In particular, the State of Yan will become the target of Qin's retaliation.

This is not something that the so-called Qin minister, Lord Changping, can change. In fact, Lord Changping's instigation of Yan Dan to assassinate the Qin emperor was precisely to use the Yan state as a sacrifice.

However, it seems that Yan Dan didn't hear what Six-Fingered Black Knight said.

Yan Dan brought up the assassination attempt again in front of the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

This time, he went so far as to use the nearly thousand-year history of the Yan Kingdom and the people of Yan to try to persuade Six-Fingered Black Knight.

However, Six-Fingered Black Knight is not someone who can be easily persuaded.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight has an extremely firm will.

Finally, this conversation ended unhappily once again.

After the Six-Fingered Black Knight left, Yan Dan seemed to have lost all his energy and spirit. In the end, he found some wine and drank to drown his sorrows.

"Grand Master, why?"

Why won't you agree?

"The State of Yan is weak, and normal methods cannot save it. Only this method can give Yan a chance to breathe. If you give me enough strength, I can carry out reforms in Yan and perhaps even recreate the hegemony of King Zhao's time, and then compete with the State of Qin."

The King Zhao mentioned by Yan Dan was not King Zhao of Qin, but King Zhao of Yan.

Zhao is an absolutely beautiful posthumous title. It means that a person is handsome and dignified, has outstanding virtue and merit, or is well-known and respected. Generally, a king who has this posthumous title is at least handsome.

In a rather coincidental period, two kings with the posthumous title "Zhao" appeared in the world: King Zhaoxiang of Qin and King Zhaoxiang of Yan.

Yan Dan was a very ambitious man. He wanted to carry out reforms in the State of Yan and restore the hegemony of the time of King Zhao of Yan.

In the past, King Zhao of Yan sent Su Qin to Qi as a spy. The five states, excluding Chu, joined forces to attack Qi. Although the coalition ultimately disintegrated due to Chu's divisive tactics, the battle was still a great success for the weak state of Yan.
