“I see.” Jiang Chuan nodded. “I didn’t expect that Miss Xue Nu’s pursuit was so simple. I thought that you used to dance at Fei Xue Pavilion because you wanted to become a big star and make a name for yourself in Yan Kingdom. You were just seeking fame.”
The Snow Woman didn't understand what "big star" meant, but she understood what came after.
She looked at Jiang Chuan and said, "In Mr. Jiang's eyes, am I such a shallow woman?"
For her, Jiangchuan held an extremely special significance.
On that day, she was prepared to give up her life to kill Yan Chunjun, and she never thought about what fate awaited her afterward.
Finally, the appearance of Jiang Chuan and Gao Jianli brought her hope and light.
Gao Jianli is one thing.
Jiang Chuan, through various bizarre (Li's) methods, gave her new options beyond fleeing to the ends of the earth, even allowing her to openly live in Yan Chun Jun's mansion, using Yan Chun Jun's power to make him her backer.
Because of these events, Jiang Chuan left a very deep impression on Xue Nu.
So after hearing these words, the Snow Woman offered a few more explanations.
Listening to Xue Nu's words, Jiang Chuan could naturally sense some of her attitude. He said softly, "It seems I have misunderstood Miss Xue Nu."
After a few casual words, Jiang Chuan said, "However, if Miss Xue Nu intends to rely on Lord Yan Chun as her backer and thinks that she can rest easy with Lord Yan Chun's protection, then I must give Miss Xue Nu a few words of advice in advance."
"While there's still time, quickly find a way out for yourself and leave the Yan Kingdom."
"It won't be long before the State of Yan becomes a place of turmoil."
Chapter 332 Shocking Secret
"Why do you say that, Mr. Jiang?"
The Snow Woman was quite surprised after hearing Jiang Chuan's words.
She actually knew about Qin's conquest of Zhao and the fact that Qin's army was stationed on the southern border of Yan.
To be honest, Yuki-onna's feelings were quite complicated at one point.
The State of Zhao was her homeland, a place where she left behind many beautiful memories, but also a place that brought her much pain.
Because of Guo Kai, the respected Mr. Kuang Xiu was forced to leave the State of Zhao and eventually died in the State of Qin.
Afterwards, he was also forced to leave the State of Zhao because of Guo Kai.
Logically speaking, under such circumstances, with the Zhao state destroyed, she shouldn't have felt any grief.
But the truth is, she was devastated when she learned of the fall of the Zhao state.
Although the State of Zhao had treacherous officials like Guo Kai, it also had General Li Mu and respected elders like Mr. Kuang Xiu.
The only thing to be thankful for was that by the time the Zhao state was destroyed, she had already left Zhao and gone to the Yan state.
As for the Qin army stationed on the border of Yan, Xue Nu did not take it too seriously.
After all, none of the powerful nobles in Yan were in a hurry, so why was she in such a rush?
If something really happens, Yan Chunjun can protect her.
Unexpectedly, after several years, when I saw Jiang Chuan again, he said such a thing.
Gao Jianli was equally curious, and upon hearing this, he also looked at Jiang Chuan with a puzzled expression.
Jiang Chuan did not hide anything and told Gao Jianli and Xue Nu the whole story: "The impending turmoil in Yan Kingdom is related to Crown Prince Yan Dan of Yan Kingdom."
"When the Qin state destroyed the Zhao state, its army was stationed on the border between the two states. Yan Dan was terrified. In order to save the Yan state, he was misled by some people and decided to take a risky path and do something that might lead to the immediate destruction of the Yan state."
"What is it?" Jiang Chuan deliberately kept Gao Jianli in suspense, which immediately aroused Gao Jianli's curiosity, and Gao Jianli couldn't help but ask.
As for the Snow Woman, it goes without saying that she was the one who took the initiative to ask Jiangchuan Yan Kingdom why it had become a place of trouble.
"Assassinate King Ying Zheng of Qin!"
Six words were uttered.
Gao Jianli and Xue Nu both trembled, their pupils freezing.
They were not fools, and naturally they were able to realize the risks and consequences of this matter.
Jiang Chuan continued, "This matter is against the will of the world. If it succeeds, it may plunge Qin into a period of turmoil, thus preventing Qin from taking action against Yan. Furthermore, the remaining states in Shandong may take advantage of Qin's weakness to launch a counterattack against Qin."
"However, this is only the best-case scenario."
"In my opinion, even if King Ying Zheng of Qin dies, it will not change the fact that the Qin state is still powerful. On the contrary, the states in Shandong each have their own intentions and never truly united to resist Qin. Now that the states of Han and Zhao have been destroyed, it is still wishful thinking to expect them to fight against Qin."
"On the contrary, Yan Dan's assassination, whether successful or not, will bring great disaster to the State of Yan, making it impossible for the State of Yan to resist Qin's attack and revenge."
"I just don't know how many innocent people will die in this process."
Jiang Chuan sighed.
Upon hearing this, Gao Jianli immediately said angrily, "Yan Dan is truly hateful. For his own selfish desires, he actually wants to drag many innocent people down with him."
After learning from Jiang Chuan what Yan Dan was planning to do, he wanted to stop Yan Dan.
But I don't know how to stop it.
But one thing is certain: if there were a real opportunity to stop Yan Dan from doing something that could bring disaster to the Yan state, he would absolutely not want to miss that opportunity.
As for how to save the Yan state after stopping it?
Gao Jianli didn't think about it in detail; he was only concerned that Yan Dan's actions might lead to countless ordinary people dying at the hands of the Qin state.
Upon hearing this, the Snow Woman's eyes flickered.
She knew that Yan Dan was a very complicated and shrewd person.
When Yan Dan accepted them, the people of Fei Xue Pavilion, and took her in, she knew that Yan Dan was not a selfless saint without desires. He had other purposes in taking them in. However, Xue Nu did not care. She came to Yan Kingdom only to find a place to stay and a powerful backer.
Yan Dan can be her support and provide her with a place to stay. Even if Yan Dan has other motives, so what?
She never expected that Yan Dan's scheming was so profound.
Jiang Chuan continued, telling Gao Jianli and Xue Nu more details about the assassination attempt on Qin Shi Huang. "In order to assassinate King Ying Zheng of Qin, Yan Dan needs to do three things. The first is to prepare a gift of sufficient importance so that his envoy can meet King Ying Zheng of Qin."
"To this end, he planned to present the Dukang region of Yan State and send an envoy with a map of the Dukang region to Qin. At the same time, in order to win the favor of King Ying Zheng of Qin, someone also prepared a second gift for him."
"what gift?"
"Fan Yuqi's head!"
Gao Jianli and Xue Nu didn't care much about the first gift, but they cared a lot about the second one.
Fan Yuqi was a traitorous general of the Qin state.
Kuang Xiu was executed by the King of Qin for helping Fan Yuqi escape.
Logically speaking, because of Kuang Xiu, Gao Jianli and Xue Nu should be close to Fan Yuqi, since he is a good friend whom Kuang Xiu was willing to risk his life to help.
However, during a meeting at a tavern on the border of Yan, Gao Jianli learned some of Fan Yuqi's true nature from Jiang Chuan. Later, when he went to Qin with Jing Ke, he gained a deeper understanding of Fan Yuqi.
For the first time in his life, he felt sorry for Mr. Kuang Xiu.
It's utterly a waste that Mr. Kuang Xiu would risk his life for a coward like Fan Yuqi.
"The Qin state has been searching for Fan Yuqi for several years, and he actually appears at this time." Gao Jianli's words carried a hint of coldness.
"Of course, someone has been secretly hiding him," Jiang Chuan explained to Gao Jianli.
"You don't like Fan Yuqi?" Because of Kuang Xiu, Xue Nu was very curious about Fan Yuqi. Seeing Jiang Chuan and Gao Jianli talking, especially when Gao Jianli talked about Fan Yuqi, his words were cold. She immediately became curious.
Gao Jianli explained to Xue Nu, "You don't know what kind of person Fan Yuqi is. If you did, you would understand how unjust and worthless Mr. Kuang Xiu's death was."
"!!!"
The snow woman became even more curious.
Gao Jianli then recounted to Xue Nu what Fan Yuqi had done.
Chapter 333 Intended for Jing Ke
"I never expected Fan Yuqi to be this kind of person."
After hearing Gao Jianli's story, Xue Nu was greatly shocked.
It can be said that the Fan Yuqi mentioned by Gao Jianli overturned her imagination and understanding of Fan Yuqi.
She never imagined that Fan Yuqi would be this kind of person.
Xue Nu didn't believe that Gao Jianli would lie to her. After all, this was Gao Jianli, a good friend of Kuang Xiu. Before Kuang Xiu died, his biggest injustice was that he played a duet with Gao Jianli and gave the score of "High Mountains and Flowing Water" to Gao Jianli.
Jiang Chuan waited until Gao Jianli and Xue Nu finished speaking before continuing, "Besides these two gifts, the second thing Yan Dan did in order to assassinate Qin was to prepare a sharp weapon. Only a weapon sharp enough can kill with one blow."
"As for the third thing, it is to choose a suitable person to carry out the assassination."
"Let's leave the second matter aside. As for the third matter, do you know who Yan Dan has chosen?"
Jiang Chuan looked at Gao Jianli and once again kept him in suspense.
Gao Jianli, being a sensible person, immediately feigned curiosity and asked Jiang Chuan, "Who is it?"
"Jing Ke!"
When this name reached Gao Jianli's ears, he was immediately shocked: "Brother Jing Ke?!"
He never expected to hear that familiar name here.
