Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

The leader asked them to help Yan Dan, was he trying to use this opportunity to get in touch with the Mohists?

Tian Meng's mind raced as he tried to decipher the leader's intentions.

But whatever Xia Kui's intentions may be.

He did not approve of the Xia Kui's behavior.

Simply because the Qin state was powerful.

Yan Dan, as a hostage, chose to flee Qin, which greatly angered Qin.

The deaths of these Mohist disciples indicate that many people were hunting down Yan Dan.

They could have stayed out of it, so why did they have to get involved and help Yan Dan?

This will offend the Qin state.

Tian Meng was a very pragmatic person, especially now that the Qin state had successively destroyed the Han and Zhao states, and its arrogance had reached its peak.

Let alone Yan Dan being just a crown prince of Yan, even if the other party were the King of Yan, the mere state of Yan would be nothing in front of the state of Qin.

"We must obey the leader's orders, of course. However, this forest is vast, and we may not be able to find Yan Dan's whereabouts and then provide him with assistance..."

Tian Meng spoke in a deep voice, revealing his thoughts.

He decided to outwardly comply with the orders of the Xia Kui while inwardly defying them.

At the same time, if possible, he hoped to pull Xia Kui back from the wrong path.

Although we don't know what Xia Kui is thinking or what he's planning, the Farmer's Clan absolutely cannot offend the Qin State because of Xia Kui's actions, or this will bring annihilation upon the Farmer's Clan.

Back then, the peasant family declined because of the suppression by the Qin state.

Now that we have finally grown stronger again, we absolutely cannot let the Xia Kui's selfish desires harm the farmers. We must know that the Qin state today is much stronger than the Qin state of the past.

Tian Meng wanted to find out the reason and become the savior of the farmers.

……

After a period of time.

Xu Qing finally reached the heart of Qin, no longer just lingering on the border as before.

It was after they arrived in the territory of Qin State.

He discovered a "small thing": the Qin state had gained another wanted criminal.

The wanted person is Prince Dan of Yan.

The main reason is that Yan Dan, as a "hostage," chose to escape, and now the Qin government is searching everywhere for Yan Dan's whereabouts.

"Yan Dan is really valuable!"

"A reward of a hundred gold coins will be given for any clues that can be provided about its whereabouts."

Xu Qing looked at the notice and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Jingni, Xiao Hei, and Xiao Bai all stood behind Xu Qing, and naturally, all three of them disguised their appearances.

After all, the three of them either came from the Luo Wang or the Yin Yang School, and the Qin State was the headquarters of these two forces.

If he were to reveal his true appearance directly, it would inevitably cause some trouble.

In comparison, Xu Qing, although many people have seen her true appearance.

But if it's troublesome, it should be a little smaller.

Well, the main reason is that Xu Qing has been hiding behind the scenes and pretending for too long, and occasionally he wants to try not pretending.

"It's just a hostage; why is Qin making such a fuss?"

Jingni was somewhat surprised.

In the past, it was not uncommon for protons to escape between countries.

Putting aside other things, Ying Zheng escaped from the State of Zhao, as did his father, Zichu.

There were also hostages who escaped from the Qin state.

Just like Changping Jun's father, who escaped with Huang Xie's help years ago.

“In the past, the Qin state would naturally not have launched a major military campaign.”

"But Yan Dan's timing for his escape was very clever."

Xu Qing said calmly, "Ying Zheng is no longer in Xianyang."

"Moreover, the Qin state had just destroyed the Zhao state."

Jing Ni quickly realized what was happening.

During Ying Zheng's absence from Xianyang, Yan Dan's escape was undoubtedly a slap in the face to those stationed in Xianyang. They had made a huge blunder and naturally had to find a way to make amends. In addition, Qin's conquest of Zhao also brought Qin's momentum to a new peak.

Even though Yan Dan fled at this time, it still caused the Qin state to lose face.

Therefore, this matter must be handled with great care, and Yan Dan must be brought back.

Ultimately, it all comes down to saving face!

Chapter 243 The plot to assassinate the Qin emperor, a soul locked across a thousand miles.

"Do you intend to get involved in this matter?"

Jing Ni then asked Xu Qing.

She followed Tian Guang to Linzi, where she reunited with Xu Qing.

They even secretly observed the conversation between Tian Guang and Xu Qing.

Afterwards, Xu Qing and Six-Fingered Black Knight met privately, and Xu Qing did not hide it from Jing Ni and the others.

Jingni knew that Yan Dan was suspicious; he was colluding with the Yin-Yang School and plotting against the Mohist School.

At this moment, Yan Dan suddenly fled.

Considering that the Mohist leader, Robber Zhi, had previously marched towards the Qin state, it is clear that Yan Dan had sought help from the Mohists.

The Qin state is the stronghold of the Yin-Yang School, so the Mohists are likely in trouble.

Xu Qing has good relationships with many people in the Mo family. Should he choose to stand by and do nothing, or take the initiative to help?

Whether or not I get involved in this matter depends on whether I happen to be there.

"I just don't know how things are now..."

Xu Qing spoke calmly, then stated his next plan, "I need to find someone to understand the current situation."

Who should I contact to understand the specifics?

As the parties involved, the Mohists seem to be doing well, but helping Yan Dan escape was clearly an important operation for the Mohists. Xu Qing was, after all, just an outsider, and the Mohists certainly couldn't tell Xu Qing the specific details of their movements.

The fact that Six-Fingered Black Knight was willing to let the Mo family disciples help Yan Dan escape shows that he did not believe Xu Qing's warning.

Xu Qing had nothing to say to someone as stubborn as Six-Fingered Black Knight.

In comparison, he was more curious about what the farmers were planning.

It should be noted that Tian Guang told Xu Qing about the problems with Yan Dan.

After some thought, Xu Qing quickly contacted the farmer using a special method.

The headquarters of the Farmer's Family is located in the State of Qin. Within the territory of Qin, contacting the Farmer's Family and Tian Guang is actually easier.

Xu Qing was certain that Tian Guang was currently within the territory of Qin.

The destruction of the Zhao state not only worried the Yan state, but also the benefactor Changping Jun behind Tian Guang.

Tian Guang should be here right now, waiting for Changping Jun to give further instructions.

The same is true.

Not long after Xu Qing's letter was delivered to Tian Guang through special channels, he received a reply.

The contents of the letter were very simple.

"...The Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist School, along with a group of Mohist masters, helped Yan Dan escape. In the Qinling Mountains, they were ambushed by the Luo Wang and Yin Yang School. The Six-Fingered Black Knight fought alone to cover the retreat, and his whereabouts are still unknown."

"Yan Dan, on the other hand, calmly fled Qin territory!"

After reading the letter, Xu Qing's gaze hardened.

He then handed the letter to Jingni, who was standing to the side.

"Take a look!"

Jingni took the letter, read through its contents, and began to analyze it.

"The Six-Fingered Black Knight has a great reputation in the martial arts world. Back when I was in the Luo Wang organization, I read his files. Although he was not a target of Luo Wang's hunt, he was highly regarded within the organization."

"This time, his disappearance in the Qinling Mountains could be due to either several top-tier members of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) joining forces, or it could be that the Yin Yang School has mobilized all its experts."

"However, I never expected that he would go to such lengths for Yan Dan."

Jingni sighed deeply.

The letter emphasized that Six-Fingered Black Knight lost contact to cover Yan Dan's retreat.

Just how much did they value Yan Dan to be willing to sacrifice so much for him?

"It seems Tian Guang miscalculated!"

Listening to Jingni's analysis, Xu Qing didn't care whether the one who made the move was a master of the Yin Yang School or someone from the Luo Wang organization. Instead, he thought of something else.

When Tian Guang told me those things that day, wanting to convey the truth to Six-Fingered Black Knight through my words, his purpose was not hard to guess.

Jing Ni might find it hard to guess.

However, Xu Qing, knowing the plot and Changping Jun's scheme, quickly figured out the key points.

Tian Guang wanted to use Yan Dan's matter to establish a closer relationship with the Mo family.

If they could expose Yan Dan's conspiracy, the Farmer School, as the initial source of information, would definitely become the Mohist School's benefactor.

Given this favor, there is a high probability that we can try to bring the Mohists into the camp of the Agriculturalists.

Especially during times of war, the Farmer School constantly recruited disciples and provided relief to the poor, which was very similar to what the Mohist School did.
