Chapter 363 The world is vast, but there's nowhere to escape.

At this critical juncture, Yan Dan was still able to mobilize nearly 300,000 troops. Moreover, he secretly colluded with the remaining forces of Zhao, including Zhao Jia, the former crown prince of Zhao, and together with nearly 100,000 soldiers from Dai, he managed to gather a total of 400,000 troops. This was beyond the expectations of the Qin court and the public.

However, even so, the Qin state showed no fear whatsoever, and did not even entertain the thought of resorting to any underhanded tactics.

They faced a combined force of nearly 400,000 men from the Yan and Dai states.

The Qin state had only one intention.

That means fighting, defeating the Yan-Dai allied forces head-on.

Moreover, the alliance between these two parties can be considered a double blessing.

Crown Prince Dan of Yan sent assassins disguised as envoys to Qin with the intention of assassinating the King of Qin. Now that this news has spread, all the soldiers of Qin are furious and filled with hatred, wanting to attack Yan.

The state of Dai was the remnant of the "560" forces of the state of Zhao.

The State of Zhao has already been destroyed, so the State of Dai should not have existed in the first place.

Both the Dai and Yan states were forces that should have been destroyed.

By joining forces, they can enable the Qin state to accomplish both tasks in one go.

In Yan Dan's view, the two armies were roughly equal in size. However, the fact is that in this battle, the Qin army defeated the Yan-Dai allied forces with an unstoppable momentum. The great battle took place near the Yi River.

After this battle, the Yi River was so full of corpses that it blocked the river.

This shows how fierce the battle was.

This also occurred after the defeat in the war.

The once arrogant King Xi of Yan, along with many nobles of Yan, abandoned Ji City and fled to Liaodong.

Yan Dan also fled with his father.

The speed at which the war was being lost surprised him.

But we had considered this possibility before.

Fortunately, my father had already prepared an escape route.

If he had known his father was so powerful, he should have confessed everything to him from the very beginning.

However, during the escape, something else happened that Yan Dan didn't expect.

That was the hatred the King of Qin harbored towards him.

The Qin soldiers relentlessly pursued the fleeing troops, abandoning all opportunities to seize cities in Yan and to destroy Dai, choosing instead to chase them.

During the pursuit, they even offered the promise that if the culprit Yan Dan was handed over, the state of Yan could be preserved.

When these words reached Yan Dan's ears, he was understandably flustered.

After his failed assassination attempt on the Qin emperor, his abandonment by the peasants, and his pursuit by the Mohists, he had already decided to die.

He was not afraid of death.

But it was precisely after that that he saw hope again.

If there were no hope, he would naturally be willing to die, but since Yan State still had a way out, and he also had a way out, he naturally dared not die easily.

Unexpectedly, the Qin state turned out to be so despicable.

It's unbelievable that they would come up with such a slogan.

When these words reached his father's ears, Yan Dan immediately advised him not to listen to Qin's slander, as Qin would not give up on destroying Yan.

He noticed that although his father said on the surface that he would not believe these words, he was actually hesitant, and it was clear that he was tempted.

Yan Dan knew his father well and was not surprised that his father would act this way.

Earlier, the Yan dynasty had assembled an army of 400,000.

His father believed that the State of Yan could resist and defeat the State of Qin, so naturally he would not have such thoughts.

But now, the army has been defeated by the Qin state, and the Yan state has suffered a great loss of strength.

Now they are being relentlessly pursued by the Qin army. If the Qin army catches up with them, their last escape route will be cut off.

They fled to Liaodong.

In order to save himself, his father, the king, might very well sacrifice himself for him.

"I can't just sit there and wait for death!"

"I can't die!"

Back in his tent, Yan Dan said this.

He tightly gripped the Mo family leader's token, Mo Mei, which was still in his hand, and made up his mind.

Over this period of time, he has experienced so much that some gray hairs have appeared at his temples, but his belief has only grown stronger.

The fleeing troops continued their advance.

In the blink of an eye, we were almost at the vicinity of the Yan River.

The Qin army continued its relentless pursuit. The Qin general in charge was named Li Xin, a rising young general in the Qin army. It was unknown whether he would become another Fan Yuqi, but it was certain that the King of Qin indeed liked to give important positions to young generals.

From Fan Yuqi back then to Li Xin and Meng Tian today, they are all young people.

Because the Qin army refused to give up, the King of Yan, after a long period of torture, finally made up his mind...

On this day, the fleeing troops took a temporary rest. The King of Yan sent someone to Yan Dan's camp. The person who came here also brought a sword, a cup of poisoned wine, and a piece of white silk.

Its meaning is self-evident.

The idea was to force Yan Dan to choose one of three ways to die.

In the end, the King of Yan chose himself. In order to save himself, he decided to sacrifice his son, Yan Dan.

But he ultimately underestimated one thing.

That was Yan Dan's determination not to die.

Yan Dan killed the men sent by the King of Yan and successfully escaped from the camp. After that... he disappeared without a trace.

Upon learning of this, the King of Yan was furious and immediately sent men to search for Yan Dan's whereabouts.

……

"Yan Dan cannot escape."

In another tent.

This is Lord Yanchun's camp.

After the Yan army was defeated and the King of Yan and many nobles fled, Lord Yanchun also joined the fleeing troops. Gao Jianli, Xue Nu and others followed him in their escape.

Jiang Chuan easily blended in and came to stand in front of Gao Jianli and Xue Nu.

Upon hearing of Yan Dan's escape, he reached this conclusion.

Why does Mr. Jiang think that way?

Gao Jianli was used to Jiang Chuan's elusive nature.

She would occasionally appear beside him.

However, more than these things, Gao Jianli was curious about what Jiang Chuan had encountered after following his elder brother and the others to the Mo Family's Mechanical City.

He had heard about the name of the Mo Family's Mechanical City from his elder brother Jing Ke. It was said to be the only paradise in the world, but he didn't know what it looked like.

"Of course, it's because someone is waiting for Yan Dan, eager to settle a score with him and put an end to their grudge."

Jiang Chuan didn't say anything more.

He only told Gao Jianli that Yan Dan could not escape.

After escaping from the camp, Yan Dan carried the Mo family's token, Mo Mei. Although he had broken free from everything and rushed into the vast world, this time, Yan Dan felt as if the world was so big, yet he had nowhere to belong.

What should I do next?

Just then, he sensed a murderous intent.

Chapter 364 This humble woman has nothing to repay you with, so she offers herself in return!

"Yan Dan, it's been a long time!"

Sensing the killing intent, Yan Dan turned her head and saw two familiar figures.

After clearly seeing the appearance of the two figures, Yan Dan raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes. In the end, she still chose to greet the two people.

"Jing Ke and Dao Zhi, it's been a long time."

At this point, he no longer addressed Jing Ke as "Jing Qing" or Dao Zhi as "Xiao Zhi," because there was no need for it anymore. Their true colors had already been exposed, and he had completely broken ties with the Mohists.

Now, when they meet again, they are enemies.

"Are you here to kill me?"

Yan Dan looked at the two people and asked again.

Jing Ke said coldly, "Since you know this perfectly well, then I wonder if you are prepared to die by my hand?"
