Seeing his friend die before his eyes, Jing Ke's hatred for the Qin state only intensified.

However, Yan Dan ultimately made some miscalculations.

Upon learning that the person before him was the renowned Fan Yuqi, Jing Ke's eyes widened in fury, and he exclaimed in extreme anger, "Fan Yuqi, you shameless scoundrel, you're still alive?"

"Why don't you die!"

Yan Dan's expression changed slightly.

Fan Yuqi looked bewildered.

He didn't understand why Jing Ke was so angry after hearing his name. What prejudice did Jing Ke have against him?

……

Inside the Crown Prince's residence.

Jing Ke, led by Yan Dan, returned to this place.

Contrary to Yan Dan's expectations, Jing Ke did not establish a friendship with Fan Yuqi during their first meeting, and the meeting ended unhappily.

Jing Ke harbored a deep prejudice against Fan Yuqi. Even when Fan Yuqi curiously asked Jing Ke why he hated him so much, Jing Ke was too lazy to even say a word, and naturally, he was unwilling to explain anything to him.

Yan Dan even realized that if it weren't for his presence, Jing Ke would have loved to draw his sword and kill Fan Yuqi.

In order to assassinate the Qin emperor, Fan Yuqi ultimately had to die.

After his family members all died, revenge became Fan Yuqi's only obsession. The farmers also convinced him that he would die when necessary, but definitely not now.

Because the two couldn't get along, Yan Dan had no choice but to temporarily abandon the plan to arrange their meeting and leave with Jing Ke. On the way, he tried to persuade Jing Ke to change his prejudice against Fan Yuqi.

Unexpectedly, Jing Ke turned around and talked about some things concerning Fan Yuqi...

According to Jing Ke, Fan Yuqi was a treacherous and utterly despicable villain.

For the sake of the people of Zhao, they were willing to abandon the campaign against Zhao, but this resulted in the deaths of 100,000 Qin soldiers.

Although the King of Qin was tyrannical and cruel, how innocent were those 100,000 soldiers and their families?

The Mohists advocated universal love and non-aggression. Since it was about universal love, how could they be prejudiced against the Qin state just because it was the other party?

Therefore, Fan Yuqi, who did such a thing, was never a benevolent person.

Instead, he was an incompetent, cowardly, and afraid-to-die villain.

Jing Ke even mentioned that Fan Yuqi had instigated Cheng Jiao to rebel years ago.

"Jing Qing, where did you hear about these things?"

Yan Dan felt there was a misunderstanding, and that someone must have misled Jing Qing.

Jing Ke, however, stated frankly that these were the truths he had discovered after conducting on-site investigations.

Yan Dan also wanted to explain and say a few good words for Fan Yuqi in front of Jing Ke. Jing Ke hated Fan Yuqi so much, especially since he had even sympathized with the people of Qin in his previous words. This was not something Yan Dan could accept.

He needed to incite Jing Ke's hatred for the Qin state. Only when Jing Ke harbored boundless hatred for Qin could he transform that hatred into motivation and deliver the most fatal blow to King Ying Zheng of Qin.

Yan Dan continued to try to persuade Jing Ke, but to no avail.

Left with no other choice, he could only let Jing Ke calm down first.

At the same time, I wondered if it was a bit presumptuous of me to rush Fan Yuqi and Jing Ke to meet.

0.5 after Yan Dan left.

When Jing Ke was alone, he appeared to be in some kind of pain.

"Master, why don't you believe me?"

"Fan Yuqi is really not a good person!"

He couldn't help but think of the Six-Fingered Black Knight from back then.

After learning Fan Yuqi's true identity from Jiang Chuan, he investigated Fan Yuqi in Qin and Zhao to uncover the truth, and ultimately concluded that what Jiang Chuan said was true.

Later, he also mentioned Fan Yuqi, who was "unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness" in the Yan and Zhao regions, to the Six-Fingered Black Knight. In the end, the Six-Fingered Black Knight agreed with Jing Ke's opinion that Fan Yuqi was a villain and that his actions were unworthy of being called a son.

Without a doubt, the Six-Fingered Black Knight and Jing Ke had more in common.

The current leader, Yan Dan, felt somewhat unfamiliar to Jing Ke.

Chapter 335 A Letter, an Old Friend Reunited!

Was assassinating King Ying Zheng of Qin truly the right thing to do?

It is true that the Qin state was tyrannical, repeatedly launching wars that caused immense suffering to the people.

However, they wanted to resist the Qin state and save the Yan state.

Is assassination really the only solution?

Although Jing Ke agreed to help Yan Dan assassinate King Ying Zheng of Qin, he was not a mindless tool. He truly hated the Qin state and Ying Zheng.

But I did think about it when I was doing things.

He thought of the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

If it were the Six-Fingered Elder, would he have allowed the Mohist school to carry out the dragon-slaying mission?

Jing Ke never expected this.

Or rather, he actually thought of it, because he was very familiar with the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

If it were the Six-Fingered Black Knight, he would absolutely not do something that takes such a huge risk.

Whether this matter succeeds or fails, it will have extremely serious consequences.

But since the Six-Fingered Black Knight is dead, the current leader of the Mohist School is Yan Dan. This is a task assigned by Yan Dan, and the Mohist School disciples can only obey the leader's orders.

Jing Ke could only subconsciously try to forget the Six-Fingered Senior.

As for accepting the assassination attempt on Qin Shi Huang, he even became a candidate to assassinate Ying Zheng.

Naturally, it's because he genuinely wanted to avenge his senior, Six Fingers.

Jing Ke couldn't help but think of the time earlier that Yan Dan had taken him to meet Fan Yuqi.

A villain like Fan Yuqi was described as a righteous man by Yan Dan, who preferred to believe Fan Yuqi rather than him.

This made him very upset.

For the first time in his life, Jing Ke had a thought that Yan Dan might not be suitable to be the leader of the Mohist school.

However, he could only think about this idea in his heart in private.

After all, the appointment of Yan Dan as the leader of the Mohist school was decided long ago by the Six-Fingered Black Knight. The Six-Fingered Black Knight appointed Yan Dan as a candidate for leader, and after the death of the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leaders of the Mohist school unanimously confirmed Yan Dan's status as leader through the Heavenly Will.

These were all their own choices.

Just as Jing Ke was deep in thought.

Suddenly, a sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

Jing Ke looked towards the window and saw that there was a hole in it, which had appeared out of nowhere.

The opening was extremely small.

Jing Ke looked in the direction of the cave entrance and saw an arrow stuck in the wall of his room.

Previously, he only felt the sound of something cutting through the air, but did not feel the arrow flying towards him.

This shocked him.

What caught his attention even more was the letter tied to the arrow.

Filled with curiosity, Jing Ke opened the letter.

"Brother Jing Ke, it's as if we're meeting in person after reading this letter. How have you been lately?"

"I miss you dearly since we parted ways at the tavern in Yan Kingdom..."

The letter begins with some literary remarks about reminiscing, which makes Jing Ke ponder. So, which tavern in Yan State is this?

Jing Ke loved to drink, and he had been to many taverns in the Yan state and even the former Zhao state, where he had made many friends. So he really couldn't remember which friend had sent him the letter, and in such a unique way.

He continued reading and came across a very important piece of information.

"Gao Jianli wants to see you."

"Tomorrow, in the tavern south of the city."

"Remember, don't let Yan Dan know."

Jing Ke didn't know who the messenger was, but he was no stranger to Gao Jianli.

He had no idea that the letter was related to Gao Jianli.

Why does Xiao Gao want to see me?

……

While Jing Ke was deep in thought.

Outside the Crown Prince's residence, Jiang Chuan was holding a powerful bow.

A figure gracefully appeared beside him.
