Jing Ke's gaze returned to the woman before him.

"Is there something you need?"

Yan Fei looked at Jing Ke in front of her, her tone calm.

Jing Ke took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Indeed, you are a rare character. No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince concealed your identity and brought you to Ji City."

"The Eastern Lord of the Yin-Yang School!"

Upon hearing Jing Ke reveal her identity, Yan Fei raised her eyebrows slightly but offered no explanation, which was tantamount to acknowledging her true identity.

Seeing Yan Fei's tacit agreement, Jing Ke's feelings became even more complicated. Then, he revealed his purpose to Yan Fei, "I want to ask you something, Sun."

"What is it?" Seeing Jing Ke arrive and say such a thing, Yan Fei couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Jing Ke said, "Regarding the death of the former leader of the Mohist school, the Six-Fingered Black Knight."

"Did Yan Dan offer you something in return to assassinate Six-Fingered Black Knight?"

"Six-Fingered Black Knight, will I die by your hand?!"

Chapter 342 The truth comes out, how should we conduct ourselves?

Yan Fei and Jing Ke stood facing each other. After Jing Ke asked these questions, Yan Fei remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Why should I answer your questions?"

Jing Ke remained silent. He said in a deep voice, "I know I am not qualified to ask you to tell the truth, but as a disciple of the Mohist school, I have a duty to find out exactly what happened to the Grand Master."

"To be honest, I learned about these things from a Mr. Jiang Chuan."

"He told me that you severely injured Senior Six Fingers. I want to know why. Was it Yan Dan who instructed you to do it?"

When Jing Ke mentioned the name "Jiang Chuan," Yan Fei's eyes flickered, and her expression became quite complicated.

Having met him several times, she already knew who the man was.

Unexpectedly, the person standing before him, Jing Ke, also knew him.

Is the other person a troublemaker?

How come there are traces of the other person's presence everywhere?

When Yan Dan and Tian Guang were plotting, the other party was there.

The other party was also present when he attacked and killed Six-Fingered Black Knight.

And just recently, the other party also appeared near the Crown Prince's residence.

Considering that the arrow was shot in the direction of Jing Ke's room, Yan Fei immediately realized that the arrow must have been shot by that person.

"507, I never expected you to know that person."

Yan Fei sighed.

"Originally, I had no obligation to tell you the truth."

"But now that person has told you everything, don't you already know the truth?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Ke's body trembled immediately.

Yan Fei's words essentially confirmed the truthfulness of Jiang Chuan's statement.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight had indeed been severely injured by the person before him.

This gave the farmer the opportunity to kill the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

The one who instigated the people in front of him and the farmers to murder the Six-Fingered Black Knight was... Yan Dan.

Yan Dan, the current leader of the Mohist school.

The one he respected... Yan Dan.

Jing Ke still had many questions he wanted to ask. His mouth was slightly open, but in the end, he didn't say any of them.

He left with incredibly mixed feelings.

Jing Ke rushed out of the Crown Prince's residence in one breath.

Finally, he even left Jicheng.

He found a deserted spot with a grove of trees, but because of the cold, the trees were bare, without a single leaf. (chaf)

Jing Ke brandished his sword here.

The sword flashed, its speed and power extremely sharp.

However, his mood was a complete mess.

If Jiang Chuan had simply told him the whole truth, he could have chosen not to believe Jiang Chuan.

But as Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School also uttered those words, Jing Ke gradually began to believe Jiang Chuan.

The truth is already quite clear.

Of course, there is another possibility: Jiang Chuan and Dong Jun of the Yin Yang School were in cahoots from the beginning. In order to clear the Yin Yang School of suspicion of killing Six-Fingered Black Knight and to sow discord among the Mohists, they deliberately staged this play.

Therefore, after wielding his sword for a long time, Jing Ke calmed down again.

There is one last party involved in this incident.

That is... Tian Guang.

Jing Ke was also acquainted with Tian Guang, a renowned chivalrous figure from the State of Yan.

Back in the Crown Prince's residence, Jing Ke acted as if nothing had happened.

On this day, while Yan Dan was attending court, he quietly left the Crown Prince's residence.

Tian Guang did not live in Ji City, but his residence was not too far from Ji City. Jing Ke had spent a long time in Yan State and had fought and exchanged skills with various knights-errant in Yan State. Tian Guang was known as a chivalrous and principled man in Yan State, and Jing Ke had also challenged him.

When they arrived at Tian Guang's residence, Tian Guang was drinking alone.

Upon seeing Tian Guang, Jing Ke broke into a hearty smile.

"Brother Tian Guang, what's the point of drinking alone? I've brought you some good wine today, let's have a good drink together."

Tian Guang put down his cup and looked at the newcomer, pausing for a moment before saying, "Isn't this Brother Jing? It's been a long time."

Jing Ke approached Tian Guang and sat down without any hesitation. "It really has been a long time."

As he sat down, he placed the wine jug he was carrying in front of Tian Guang.

"Brother Jing, is there anything I can do for you today?"

Tian Guang knew Jing Ke, not only because Yan Dan had told him that he had decided to choose Jing Ke as the assassin of Qin, but also because he had a previous relationship with Jing Ke. Tian Guang knew very well Jing Ke's strength; among the many leaders of the Mohist school, he was not weak, and his unparalleled swordsmanship was indeed adept at assassination.

It's not surprising that Yan Dan chose Jing Ke; what amazes him is that Yan Dan was able to persuade Jing Ke.

“I learned some things from the Grand Master. I really didn’t expect that Brother Tian Guang would be the leader of the Farmer’s School of Chivalry.” Jing Ke’s gaze fell on Tian Guang’s face, and he was very surprised.

Tian Guang was stunned for a moment, then realized that Yan Dan trusted Jing Ke and had actually told Jing Ke about these things.

However, since Jing Ke was chosen to assassinate the King of Qin, it was indeed necessary for him to know some things.

So Tian Guang spoke up: "Whether you call me a chivalrous leader or a righteous knight Tian Guang, aren't I still your friend, Brother Jing?"

Jing Ke nodded, "That's true."

Then he turned to Tian Guang and said, "The Grand Master is now promoting the Dragon-Slaying Plan in the Mohist School. I heard from the Grand Master that the original planners of this plan were Brother Tian Guang and Lord Changping of Qin?"

Tian Guang calmly said, "We have only given Prince Yan Dan a choice. Whether or not to do this is entirely up to Prince Yan Dan himself."

"Of course, if His Highness Yan Dan makes up his mind, we would not mind giving him some help."

"I see."

Jing Ke nodded, having learned the whole story.

Some questions don't actually need to be investigated to the end.

Asking too many questions might arouse Tian Guang's suspicion.

Based on these two questions alone, he basically had a good idea of ​​what was going on.

Her trust in Jiang Chuan increased even more.

Jiang Chuan did not deceive him.

The assassination plot against Qin was indeed proposed by Tian Guang and Lord Changping, and Yan Dan was willing to serve as Lord Changping's weapon.

In addition, Tian Guang is the leader of the peasant clan, and he also said that if Yan Dan makes up his mind, he would not mind giving him some help.

In other words, the real cause of Six Fingers' death was...

Jing Ke suppressed his complicated feelings and, pretending to be reunited with an old friend, drank wine with Tian Guang.

When he was quite drunk, he did not stay overnight at Tian Guang's place, but chose to leave.

He now knew the truth, and the biggest problem facing him now was how to deal with Yan Dan.
