"In order to preserve the state of Yan, he did not even care about the lives of many innocent people in Yan. This action violated the Mohist principles of universal love and non-aggression. This can be proven by his painstaking efforts to carry out the assassination of the King of Qin."

"Although the Six-Fingered Black Knight treated him very well, what is the Six-Fingered Black Knight compared to the fate of the Yan Kingdom?"

"As for why Yan Dan would want to kill Six-Fingered Black Knight."

"I wonder if Six-Fingered Black Knight's refusal to help Yan Dan assassinate King Ying Zheng of Qin counts as a reason?"

"Lord Changping sent Tian Guang, the leader of the Farmer's School of Chivalry, to Yan Dan to persuade him to assassinate the Qin emperor. He told Yan Dan the whole plan and even prepared Fan Yuqi's head for him. All Yan Dan needed to do was to choose a suitable person to go to Qin to assassinate the emperor. Only the Mohists could take on such a great task."

"Yan Dan had a close relationship with the Mohists, so he naturally sought help from the Six-Fingered Black Knight. However, the Six-Fingered Black Knight refused him. He harbored resentment because of this. With the Qin army stationed on the border of Yan, the state of Yan was in grave danger. Assassinating the Qin emperor was the only way to save Yan. Even though Yan Dan knew that he was being used as a tool by Lord Changping, he was determined to do it."

"He's willing to pay any price to get this done."

“Since Six-Fingered Black Knight disagrees, he doesn’t mind killing Six-Fingered Black Knight and taking his place.”

"After all, he was originally a candidate for the leader of the Mohist school. As long as the Six-Fingered Black Knight dies, he will become the new leader of the Mohist school."

Jiang Chuan then launched into a long string of words.

Jing Ke's feelings were very complicated. On the one hand, Jiang Chuan's words were reasonable and logical. On the other hand, he could not accept the truth that Yan Dan was such a person.

He and Yan Dan were very familiar with each other.

Back when Six-Fingered Black Knight brought Yan Dan into the Mo family, he served as Yan Dan's bodyguard and stayed by Yan Dan's side for quite some time. It was because of this time spent together that he trusted Yan Dan and thought he knew Yan Dan's character very well.

Now Jiang Chuan tells him that Yan Dan is the murderer who killed Six-Fingered Black Knight. For a moment, he doesn't know whether to believe Jiang Chuan or not...

"I'm just telling you the truth. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

Jiang Chuan looked at Jing Ke and said, "In order to become the leader of the Mohist school, Yan Dan had to get rid of the Six-Fingered Black Knight. So, he secretly found Dong Jun of the Yin-Yang School, who had come to Yan with him, and made a deal with him."

"Yan Dan knew very well why the other party had come to his side, and he used that thing as a bargaining chip to persuade Dong Jun."

"Finally, Dongjun made his move and killed Yan Dan."

"But having only one Dongjun is not very safe, so Yan Dan went to Tian Guang, the leader of the Farmer's School, and asked for the Farmer's School's help."

"In the end, Dongjun intervened and severely injured Six-Fingered Black Knight. During his escape, Six-Fingered Black Knight was ambushed by the Farmer Clan and died."

"How did I know these things?"

"Because during the fight between Dongjun and Six-Fingered Black Knight, I sensed her aura. I had been there before. Dongjun and I had a fight in Xinzheng, Korea. She also sensed my aura, so she gave up the attack on Six-Fingered Black Knight and fought me instead. It was because of this 503 reason that Six-Fingered Black Knight was able to escape Dongjun's hunt."

"Unfortunately, he ultimately underestimated the ruthlessness of human nature. Dongjun's attack was never the most crucial factor. Behind the mantis stalking the cicada, there was also the oriole lurking, eyeing him. The peasants' encirclement and attack was the most deadly."

Jiang Chuan remained silent.

He has said enough today.

He had told Jing Ke everything about the cause, background, motives, and many things Yan Dan did during his assassination attempt on the King of Qin.

Whether or not Jing Ke is willing to believe him is entirely up to him.

Jing Ke remained silent for a long time, expending all his energy on digesting and accepting what Jiang Chuan had revealed.

Of course, doubts still remained, even though Jiang Chuan explained how he knew the truth about the death of Six-Fingered Black Knight.

But how did Jiang Chuan learn about the schemes between Changping Jun, the Nongjia, and Yan Dan?

These were all questions in Jing Ke's heart.

In the end, he didn't continue to ask Jiang Chuan these questions, but only asked one question, "Who is Dong Jun?"

Do you remember that Jiang Chuan said Dongjun was in Yan Dan's mansion?

If it's still there, perhaps you could go and verify the truth with the other party.

Jiang Chuan immediately revealed who Dong Jun was.

Chapter 341 Face-to-Face Questioning

Jing Ke returned to the Crown Prince's residence, reeking of alcohol.

After learning the so-called "truth" from Jiang Chuan, Jing Ke drank a lot of alcohol, trying to drown his sorrows. He thought that if he got drunk, he could treat what Jiang Chuan said as a dream, as if it were a lie.

However, this is actually nothing more than a self-deceptive tactic.

After resting for a night in the Crown Prince's residence, Jing Ke woke up with a splitting headache, a consequence of his hangover.

Jing Ke immediately sat cross-legged, circulated his internal energy to dispel the remaining alcohol fumes in his body, and afterwards, he felt much better.

Inside the Crown Prince's residence, Qin Wuyang was still diligently learning the etiquette of an envoy.

In the past, after drinking and enjoying himself, Jing Ke would accompany Qin Wuyang to study, because he would be the chief envoy when he went to Qin. However, he learned about those things from Jiang Chuan.

At this moment, Jing Ke's feelings were extremely complicated. What was the point of going on a diplomatic mission to the Qin state?

He just wanted to find out the truth and figure out whether what Jiang Chuan said was true or false.

If it's false, he can pretend he's never heard of those things and continue to regard Yan Dan as the leader of the Mohist school.

But what if it's true?

How could someone like Yan Dan continue to serve as the leader of the Mohist school?

He had to seek justice for the death of his senior, Six Fingers.

I thought of some things I had learned from Jiang Chuan.

The Yin-Yang School's Dongjun, who had severely injured the Six-Fingered Senior, is currently in this Crown Prince's residence.

As for Jiang Chuan witnessing the death of Senior Six Fingers but failing to save him, Jing Ke did not blame Jiang Chuan. After all, Jiang Chuan was not a disciple of the Mohist school. Jing Ke was already very grateful that Jiang Chuan was willing to tell him these truths.

Next, it's up to him to verify everything and find out the truth.

As the crown prince of Yan, Yan Dan was very busy.

Especially now that the Qin army is on the border of Yan, and may invade Yan at any time, even if the King of Yan is incompetent, he is still worried at this time and holds court meetings every day to discuss ways to save the country with Yan Dan and many ministers.

After the court assembly, Yan Dan would visit many of the talented individuals he considered wise and capable, discussing with them ways to save the country.

Even though they had already learned of the assassination plot against Qin from Tian Guang.

And we are preparing to implement this plan.

However, Yan Dan never liked to put all his eggs in one basket. For example, when he attacked Six-Fingered Black Knight, he made two preparations. If there was a better way to save Yan, he would naturally not let it go.

At the same time, he had also considered the consequences of the assassination attempt and was preparing a way out for himself.

That way, even if something really happens, you can be sure you'll survive.

Only by surviving can there be hope, and only then can we talk about the future.

Not to mention, Yan Dan, in addition to being the Crown Prince of Yan, has also become the leader of the Mohist school. With these two identities, he has been extremely busy lately and rarely stays at home.

This also gave Jing Ke an opportunity to observe the Crown Prince's residence.

Now, Jing Ke is a retainer of Crown Prince Yan Dan, and he can move freely in the Crown Prince's residence. However, he has also served as a guard of Yan Dan in the past, and is extremely familiar with this place.

After several days of observation, he finally decided on Dongjun as his candidate.

This evening.

Yan Dan wasn't home, so she took advantage of Qin Wuyang's inattention.

Jing Ke arrived at a room in the backyard.

He arrived at the door.

The door opened at the right moment, and a beautiful face came into his view. After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Jing Ke roughly understood why Yan Dan had concealed the other person's identity and brought her to the Yan Kingdom.

Simply because the woman in front of him was indeed very beautiful.

It's not surprising that Yan Dan would have such ideas.

Thinking of this, Jing Ke couldn't help but think of his junior sister, Li Ji.

Li Ji was also incredibly beautiful, but no one knows where she is now.

Several years ago, he received a message from Ding Pangzi, the leader of the Mohist school stationed in Sanghai City. It was relayed by his junior sister, Li Ji. Only then did Jing Ke learn that Li Ji was living alone in the State of Qi and had been coveted by Hou Sheng, the prime minister of Qi. Hou Sheng's men wanted to capture her. She met a strange man, traveled around the State of Qi, and finally decided to follow that strange man into seclusion.

Upon learning of his junior sister's message, Jing Ke was both worried about her and unsure of what to say.

If you want a peaceful life, just go find him. He can bring your junior sister into the Mo Family's Mechanized City.

As a result, I ran off with that so-called extraordinary person. Was that person reliable? Was he a good person?

Jing Ke was very worried about his junior sister, Li Ji.

However, what's done is done, and all he can do is try to find his junior sister's whereabouts, hoping she is safe and sound.

No, I should say they are definitely fine.

If she were unwell, it would be impossible to find Fatty Ding and have him relay these things. Moreover, according to Fatty Ding, when his junior sister said these things, there was a young man next to her.

The other party appears to be a distinguished guest from the Confucian school.

It must be the extraordinary person my junior sister mentioned.

The extraordinary person was not an old man, but a young man, which inevitably made Jing Ke think more and feel a little jealous.

However, he also knew that he was a prodigal son who had always left his junior sister to live alone in Qi. He carried too much on his shoulders and was indeed unable to give his junior sister a stable home.

After Yan Dan proposed the plan to slay the dragon, Jing Ke wanted to go and find his junior sister to see her, but since he didn't know where she was, he eventually gave up.

I pulled back the complex thoughts that had been swirling in my mind.
