Chapter 190: Beginning and End, Soul Seed!

Yan Dan developed the intention to escape.

Even though he was a hostage, escaping from Qin Guo back to Yan Guo would bring some criticism to Yan Guo, as well as pressure from Qin Guo, but for the future of Yan Guo, he had to go back.

Admittedly, when he was in Qin Guo, he could use the channels of the Mohist School, as well as Tian Guang, a hero he met in Yan Guo, to do some things, such as writing a letter and giving a token, so that the people of Yan Guo would take in the great general Fan Fan Yuqi, who was wanted by the King of Qin.

But this was not him being in Yan Guo personally. Qin Guo was far from Yan Guo, and he wanted to do things, but he was always beyond his reach, not as good as going back and implementing it himself.

Yan Dan also knew that he seemed free in Xianyang and not restricted, but in fact, it was not so. There were always eyes and ears of the King of Qin around him, and it was not an easy thing for him to escape.

But fortunately, he was never alone.

The day he encountered the people of the Yin-Yang School and fell into a coma, it was the Mohist leader, the Six-Fingered Black Knight, who saved him. For this Mohist leader, Yan Dan owed a lot, and he did not know how to repay the other party.

But repayment was one thing; at this moment, he intended to escape and had to borrow the power of the Mohist School again.

Yan Dan wrote a letter and handed it to the people of the Mohist School through secret channels.

Not long after, the Six-Fingered Black Knight, who received the letter, came to Xianyang again.

Honestly, the Six-Fingered Black Knight did not really want to come to Xianyang. More than a year ago, the time he escorted Yan Dan to Xianyang, that Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School left a very deep impression on him. If it were not necessary, he really did not want to come into contact with this person again.

But Yan Dan had a request, and he had to come.

Yan Dan was one of the few royal grandsons who agreed with the Mohist philosophy today.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight and the other party could be said to have hit it off at first sight, and then became close friends. More than a year ago, Yan Dan was snatched of his soul by Su Xuan, and the Six-Fingered Black Knight almost did not hesitate to go to the Yin-Yang School alone. Well, it could not be said to be alone; there were Nian Duan and Duanmu Rong accompanying him, but it was also a voluntary step into a dangerous situation.

It must be known that the Mohist School and the Yin-Yang School had long-standing grievances. Even if many experts of the Yin-Yang School surrounded and killed him, he could not find any reason to excuse himself.

Even for the Yin-Yang School, killing him did not require the joint efforts of many experts; that Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School was enough to defeat him.

Even so, he still showed no fear of life or death at that time.

It was because of his high regard for Yan Dan.

In other words, he could be said to have risked his life, and even helped Qin Guo manufacture two agricultural tools, to exchange for Yan Dan's life. If he just abandoned Yan Dan like this, it would be a bit unreasonable.

So after receiving Yan Dan's help letter, he rushed to Xianyang again without hesitation.

"Please, Leader, help me!"

After seeing the Six-Fingered Black Knight, Yan Dan spoke quickly.

"What does the Crown Prince want me to help you with?" The Six-Fingered Black Knight asked Yan Dan in a deep voice.

Yan Dan said: "I heard that the King of Zhao passed away from illness, and Zhao Guo's great general Li Mu also passed away with him. Li Mu once crushed a hundred-thousand-strong Xiongnu army and was the leading figure among the many generals of Zhao Guo. With these two passing away one after another, Zhao Guo will probably find it difficult to resist Qin Guo's attack. If Zhao Guo is destroyed, Yan Guo will have to face the threat from Qin Guo directly!"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight frowned and said: "Just because the King of Zhao and Li Mu died, the Crown Prince concludes that Zhao Guo will be destroyed. Isn't that being too worried?"

Yan Dan said with a heavy expression: "The Leader does not know. For more than a year, I have been carefully observing Qin Guo. The power of Qin Guo exceeded my expectations. I thought that destroying Han Guo would hurt its vitality to some extent, but as a result, destroying Han Guo did not hurt Qin Guo's vitality at all. Especially last year, Qin Guo relied on the power of the Gongshu family to develop two tools used in agriculture. Combined with the Zheng Guo Canal that was completed earlier, the Guanzhong land could be said to have a bumper harvest everywhere, and there was so much grain that the warehouses could not hold it."

"The strength of Qin Guo's military edge and the prosperity of its national power are beyond ordinary imagination."

"Not to mention anything else, at the beginning of this year, Qin Guo attacked Zhao. If it were not blocked by Li Mu, coupled with Wang Xuan Jian's old and steady nature, if they went all out regardless of the cost, they could have destroyed Zhao Guo in one battle!"

"Now that Zhao Guo has no Li Mu, coupled with the death of the King of Zhao, the situation has not stabilized. It is impossible to successfully resist Qin Guo again. If Qin Guo raises arms again, Zhao Guo will surely be destroyed!"

"So for the sake of Yan Guo, and to deal with Qin Guo's future conquest of Yan Guo, I must return to Yan Guo and make some preparations in advance!"

Yan Dan stated the purpose of calling the Six-Fingered Black Knight here.

He wanted to return to Yan Guo.

After the Six-Fingered Black Knight learned of Yan Dan's purpose, he was silent for a while and said: "That day, I escorted the Crown Prince to Qin Guo. Now that the Crown Prince wants to go back, I should help you!"

"Thank you, Leader!"

After getting the promise of the Six-Fingered Black Knight, a trace of joy appeared on Yan Dan's face.

As he expected, the Six-Fingered Black Knight agreed to help him.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight added: "You are a hostage sent by Yan Guo to Qin Guo, and your status is noble. The King of Qin seems not to have restricted your freedom, but it is limited to this Xianyang land. If you escape, Qin Guo will definitely pursue you with all its strength."

"To escort you back to Yan Guo safely, I need to make some preparations!"

Yan Dan nodded, indicating he knew.

After this chat with Yan Dan, the Six-Fingered Black Knight left again. No one knew where he went until a few days later, when he appeared again. To help Yan Dan escape successfully, he had made some preparations in these few days.

Now, it was basically ready.
