"Even if he were truly willing to go to Qin to assassinate the King of Qin and die as a result, we can only respect him."

Gao Jianli hesitated, wanting to speak but ultimately falling silent.

Jiang Chuan is absolutely right.

Although he was very worried about his older brother, the final decision was still made by his older brother himself.

So, what will Brother Jing Ke choose?

……

The matter of sending envoys to Qin has been decided.

There are only a few days left until the day we enter Qin.

Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang were both leaders of the Mohist school.

They are about to enter Qin to carry out the dragon-slaying mission. How could the Mohists not have a statement?

Therefore, during this period, many leaders of the Mohist school arrived in the State of Yan and the City of Ji, preparing to see off the two righteous men, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang.

It was also during this period.

Jing Ke met Master Ban.

"Jing Qing, Master Xu said you have something to discuss with me?"

Master Ban and Jing Ke met alone.

Master Ban, combining the words Xu Fuzi had spoken when delivering the message, realized that what Jing Ke was talking about was no small matter.

“There is indeed something very important I want to tell Master Ban.” Jing Ke said solemnly, “This is something I cannot decide on my own, so I would like to seek Master Ban’s opinion and views.”

"Oh? What is it about?" Master Ban stroked his beard and asked curiously.

"The truth about the death of Senior Six Fingers!"

As soon as Jing Ke spoke, Master Ban's expression changed slightly.

"Jing Qing, what have you found out?"

It's unlikely that Jing Ke would suddenly bring up the death of the Six-Fingered Black Knight without any reason. Obviously, during his time in Ji City of Yan State, Jing Ke had discovered some things that involved the truth behind the death of the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

This answer might be hard to believe, and it made Jing Ke hesitate, which is why Jing Ke sought him out to ask for his opinion and views.

“I have indeed learned some things,” Jing Ke said in a deep voice, “For example, Senior Six Fingers did not die at the hands of the Yin-Yang School…”

"How could that be?" Master Ban immediately disbelieved upon hearing this.

Jing Ke explained, “I know, Master Ban, you examined the body of Senior Six Fingers and found traces of Yin-Yang School magic on it. Indeed, Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School fought with Senior Six Fingers before he died and severely injured him.”

"But the one who truly killed Senior Six Fingers was not Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School, but... the Farmer School."

From Jing Ke's words, Master Ban learned that the master of the Yin-Yang School who attacked the Six-Fingered Black Knight was actually the mysterious Dong Jun.

However, what shocked him the most was not the fact that Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School severely injured the Six-Fingered Black Knight, but that it was the Farmer School that truly killed the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

"Jing Qing, where did you learn about these things? Why did the Farmer's Clan take action against the Six-Fingered Giant?" Master Ban asked urgently.

Jing Ke remained calm. During this time, he had experienced numbness and confusion, but in the end, he calmed down. Facing Master Ban's complicated expression, he said in a deep voice, "During my time in Jicheng, I met an old friend and learned a lot from him."

"The truth of some things was beyond our expectations. I also doubted the veracity of the matter and secretly investigated it. In the end, I came to a conclusion: what my friend said was...true..."

"It is precisely because the truth is hard to accept that I have kept it hidden in my heart."

“Master Ban, within the Mo family, you and Senior Six Fingers are of the same generation. After Senior Six Fingers’ death, you are the person I respect and trust the most. At this time, I can only trust you.”

"Simply because if this matter is not handled properly, my Mo family may fall into an abyss of no return."

Instead of directly stating what it was about, Jing Ke first used a series of words to express his shock and to show that this matter was of great importance.

Master Ban was not someone who couldn't distinguish between what was important and what wasn't. After hearing Jing Ke's words, he knew that the matter was of utmost importance.

He immediately glanced around and said to Jing Ke, "Shall we go somewhere else to talk?"

Jing Ke also had this idea.

So the two left the Crown Prince's residence and found a quiet place to chat.

The Mohists were not surprised. Jing Ke was about to be sent as an envoy to Qin. As an elder, Master Ban might have something he wanted to say to Jing Ke in private.

After arriving at a secluded place.

Jing Ke then told Master Ban everything he knew.

First, the fact that the Yin-Yang School's Dongjun and the Farmer School both attacked Six-Fingered Black Knight surprised Master Ban.

Immediately afterwards, Jing Ke revealed his motives.

For example, Tian Guang was the leader of the Farmer's School of Chivalry; for example, the origin of the 0.5 Dragon Slaying Plan; in the end, Jing Ke revealed the mastermind behind it all: who exactly sent the Yin Yang School's Dong Jun and the Farmer's School to assassinate the Six-Fingered Black Knight?

Why did the Six-Fingered Black Knight die?

The truth is astonishing.

After learning the whole story, Master Ban was even more shocked than Jing Ke had been.

"Jing Qing, do you know what you're saying?" To calm his shock, Master Ban questioned Jing Ke again.

Jing Ke said, "Of course I know what I'm talking about. In fact, I was also shocked when I first learned about these things. Later, in order to find out the truth, I investigated and met with the Yin-Yang School's Dongjun, and even met with Tian Guang. I confirmed Tian Guang's identity as the leader of the chivalrous sect and confirmed that it was he who told Yan Dan about that plan."

Chapter 345 Verification

This time, it was Master Ban's turn to fall silent.

His breathing was rapid, which showed that he was far from calm.

What Jing Ke said was too outrageous.

He didn't know whether he should believe Jing Ke.

After all, Yan Dan was the new leader of the Mohist school, a fact unanimously agreed upon by all the Mohist leaders. Even after becoming the leader, Yan Dan actively promoted the Dragon Slaying Plan, which contradicted the consistent philosophy of the former leader, Six-Fingered Black Knight.

But Master Ban did not think about it in detail.

After all, Yan Dan is now the leader of the Mohist school, and the previous leader was killed by the Qin state. The Mohists really want to avenge him.

But today, Jing Ke told him that it was not the Qin state that killed the Six-Fingered Black Knight, but Yan Dan.

How could Master Ban dare to accept this?

If it were someone else who said it, then so be it.

Ironically, it was Jing Ke who uttered these words.

He was Jing Qing, a highly renowned chivalrous figure within the Mohist school.

If Six-Fingered Black Knight hadn't appointed Yan Dan as a candidate for Grand Master before his death, Jing Qing would have been the most likely candidate to become Grand Master.

“I know that Master Ban finds it hard to believe these things.”

27 Jing Ke looked at the silent Master Ban and continued, "But there are some things we must find out."

"Master Ban must be well aware of the consequences of assassinating the King of Qin. I am not afraid of death. If assassinating the King of Qin can truly avenge Senior Six Fingers and save the people from suffering, I do not mind doing it."

"But if this was a conspiracy from the beginning, I don't want to die without knowing why."

"Furthermore, Master Ban, have you really not considered the consequences of assassinating the King of Qin?"

"This may be the reason why Senior Six Fingers rejected Yan Dan back then, and subsequently brought about his own demise."

Master Ban remained silent.

He was well aware of the consequences of attempting to assassinate the Qin emperor.

If this matter succeeds, Qin will be plunged into turmoil, but Qin's anger still needs to be vented. At that time, Yan, which carried out this matter, will become Qin's greatest source of anger.

Conversely, while the Yan state bore the brunt of the anger, the other states were able to preserve their lives.

But what if the assassination attempt on the Qin emperor fails?

Therefore, it was not only Yan that suffered the wrath of Qin. After Qin destroyed Yan, the other states would also be attacked.

Doing such things by hand does not align with the Mohist philosophy of non-aggression.

But since Yan Dan had spoken so well, and they wanted to take revenge on the Qin state.

So the dragon-slaying plan was still carried out.

"I... need to calm down."

After a long while, Master Ban finally spoke to Jing Ke.

Jing Ke nodded, saying nothing more.

The rise and fall of the Mohist school depended entirely on a single thought of Master Ban.

If Master Ban still chooses Yan Dan, he will treat those things as lies told by others and continue to enter Qin to carry out the assassination plan.

Conversely, if Master Ban believes that Yan Dan is the murderer of the Six-Fingered Black Knight, for the sake of the Mohist school, he will turn the sword that was originally aimed at Ying Zheng towards Yan Dan.

After reviewing all the information Jing Ke had provided in his mind, he realized that Jing Ke's words were completely absorbed in his thoughts.

Finally, Master Ban turned to Jing Ke and said, "Jing Ke, you said that the Lord of the Yin-Yang School is in the Crown Prince's residence?"

"Yes."
