They almost destroyed the Yan state.
If it weren't for Tian Dan later emerging and using a clever plan to restore the state, the Qi state might have been completely destroyed in that battle.
But at that time, the Yan state was indeed extremely powerful.
Moreover, the time of King Zhao of Yan is not too far removed from the present day. Since King Zhao of Yan was able to make the Yan state powerful, it shows that the Yan state had the conditions to become stronger.
Why can't it be done right now?
Chapter 323 The Intent to Kill Arises!
In just a few decades, the State of Yan went from being powerful and prosperous to such a state.
From a very young age, Yan Dan had heard about the story of King Zhao of Yan establishing his hegemony.
After that, he traveled around the State of Yan and witnessed its weakness firsthand. He developed an ambition: why couldn't he become another King Zhao of Yan and rebuild the hegemony of the State of Yan?
With this dream in mind, Yan Dan has been working hard.
He summarized the reasons why the State of Yan rose to prominence during the reign of King Zhao of Yan.
Whether it's offering a thousand pieces of gold to buy a horse's bones or seeking talent at the Golden Terrace, the fundamental purpose is to acquire talented individuals. With enough talented people to assist, the Yan state can rise again.
Therefore, he befriended heroes from all walks of life and recruited talented individuals to serve him.
Over time, he, the crown prince of Yan, also earned the reputation of being good at nurturing scholars.
Unfortunately, this still did not make the Yan state stronger.
Yan Dan certainly knew why.
Ultimately, it was because he was merely the crown prince of Yan, not the king of Yan.
While the crown prince's status existed in the Yan state, it was still subject to various restrictions.
His father, the king, and his uncle, Lord Yanchun, were both capable of restraining him.
However, Yan Dan was not discouraged. He firmly believed that once he ascended the throne, he would be able to change the state of Yan. Now, he only needed to accumulate experience quietly and wait for the opportunity to come.
Unexpectedly, the Qin state was unwilling to give him enough time.
The Six-Fingered Black Knight, whom he treated like a father figure, was completely unwilling to help him.
While drunk, Yan Dan saw many things clearly, and resentment gradually began to grow in his heart.
"Master, since you are unwilling to help me, then I will have to find a way myself..."
What solutions could he come up with?
Of course, we should change the leader!
Once the Grand Master dies, he can naturally become the Grand Master of the Mohist School. Once he becomes the Grand Master, the Mohist School will become his greatest asset, and he can do whatever he wants.
In his drunken state, a ruthless glint flashed in Yan Dan's eyes.
Finally, he forced himself to stand up and went to another part of the mansion.
This is before Yanfei's room.
As Yan Dan reached the door and leaned against the frame, the door suddenly opened, and a pungent smell of alcohol wafted into the room. Yan Fei, who opened the door, raised an eyebrow slightly and asked Yan Dan, "What do you want to do?"
Her voice was slightly cold.
She thought Yan Dan had drunk too much and was acting crazy, wanting to do something to her.
Yan Dan's eyes were glazed over as he glanced at Yan Fei. His voice, slightly unsteady from drinking too much, sounded a bit off. "Fei Yan, I... I want to ask you for a favor?"
"If you're willing to help me, I can give you anything!"
"Feiyan?" Yanfei raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this name.
Because Yan Dan had drunk too much, he subconsciously uttered the name he had given Yan Fei in his heart. This name made Yan Fei feel a little awkward.
She was well aware of Yan Dan's feelings for her, but unfortunately, she had no interest in him whatsoever.
Even if Yan Dan was indeed the crown prince of Yan.
But Yan Dan was simply too weak.
Such a person is not worthy of her; all she seeks is the supreme Dao.
After all, her title in the Yin-Yang School is Dongjun.
Dongjun is the sun god, and the sun should naturally hang high in the sky, dazzling and brilliant. How could mortals covet it?
Assigned by Donghuang Taiyi to approach Yan Dan and come to the Yan Kingdom, she only regarded it as a mission.
If Yan Dan is willing to accept her, it would be even better if he were willing to give her that thing.
If she doesn't want to, she has her own ways to obtain that thing when the time comes.
Yan Fei then ignored Yan Dan's address of her by name and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want me to do for you?"
What she cared about was Yan Dan's last sentence: he could give her anything.
"Kill...Six-Fingered Black Knight!"
A ruthless killing intent flashed in Yan Dan's eyes. After a moment's hesitation, he told Yan Fei his request.
Upon hearing this, Yan Fei looked at Yan Dan with some surprise.
Having known Yan Dan for so long, she was well aware that Yan Dan had a close relationship with the Mo family.
When Yan Dan fled from the Qin state, Six-Fingered Black Knight personally came to his aid. He helped Yan Dan fend off the pursuit of the five elders of the Yin-Yang School and retreated calmly. In terms of strength, Six-Fingered Black Knight was indeed quite powerful.
He has already taken more than half a step into the realm of Grandmaster.
However, she is still not as good as him.
Logically speaking, it is highly unreasonable that the leader of the Mohist school, one of the two most prominent schools of thought in the world, only possessed such limited strength.
?sand ?concrete ?concrete ?????concrete ?concrete/p>
But conversely, it is also reasonable.
Ultimately, the Mohist school was not a sect that excelled in martial arts or combat. They advocated universal love and non-aggression, and their greatest skill was in mechanical arts.
The most powerful mechanical beast, if used properly, is capable of contending with a Grandmaster-level expert.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the leader of the Mohist school only had the strength of a grandmaster.
Earlier, Yanfei had also told Yandan to kill Six-Fingered Black Knight and take his place, but she was reprimanded by Yandan instead.
Yan Fei also understood that Yan Dan was not a member of their Yin Yang School, so some methods that could be used by the Yin Yang School were not applicable to Yan Dan.
.... ..... .......
Unexpectedly, not long after, Yan Dan changed her mind.
Why did Yan Dan change her mind?
Yanfei was somewhat curious.
Immediately, in front of Yan Dan, she revealed her purpose: "I want the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon from the Yan Kingdom!"
Yan Dan's eyes narrowed instantly.
The confusion caused by drunkenness had subsided somewhat, and I became much more sober.
The Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon have been widely circulated throughout the world for thousands of years.
And what about the State of Yan?
It has been nearly a thousand years since the founding of the nation.
It can be said that the existence of the State of Yan predates that of the Zhou royal family. It originated from the enfeoffment at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty. Now, even though the Zhou Dynasty has perished, the State of Yan still exists.
Over such a long period of time, although the Yan state was weak, it also learned many secrets.
For example, the secret of the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions.
The Azure Dragon Seven Mansions originated from the Zhou Dynasty. In the past, King Wu of Zhou conquered King Zhou of Shang and established the Zhou Dynasty. All the wealth belonging to the Shang Dynasty fell into the hands of the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty learned from the lessons of the Shang Dynasty's demise. Therefore, with the help of Taigong Wang, the Zhou Dynasty prepared some contingency plans so that it could quickly rise again if the Zhou Dynasty declined.
These are the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.
Unfortunately, King Wu ultimately underestimated the incompetence of his successors.
First, during the reign of King You of Zhou, the Zhou Dynasty declined and perished. Although King Ping later moved the capital east and established the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, many things were lost in the process, including the Azure Dragon's seven constellations.
Later, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by the Qin state, and the Nine Tripods, which represented royal power, were also lost.
Chapter 324 I will shoulder all the blame!
During this process, the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon moved among various countries and were eventually controlled by them.
Among them, there are also those who want to collect the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon and unravel this secret.
But in the end, they all came to nothing.
Above the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, there seems to be a strange power, and no one has ever been able to collect them all. As for the Yan Kingdom, it has always claimed to be the legitimate descendant of the Zhou Dynasty, and it also possesses a copy of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.
In his early years, he had placed his hopes on the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, hoping to unlock this secret and make the Yan Kingdom stronger, but in the end, there were no results.
On the contrary, during the reign of King Zhao of Yan, the state of Yan became powerful for a short period of time through reforms and the recruitment of talented individuals.
