Chapter 191

In Xianyang City.

Su Xuan, while enjoying the massage of Yan Yan Lingji, said softly: "After the Zhao Guo matter spread, it made many people restless. Yan Dan has already contacted the Mohist School and is preparing to escape from Qin Guo."

"How do you know about this?" Yan Yan Lingji's hand massaging Su Xuan stopped abruptly, and she looked at Su Xuan with some curiosity.

"There is always a way to know!"

Su Xuan did not explain anything.

It could only be said that the way of the soul was more mysterious than imagined. At the beginning, he performed the soul-snatching technique and took away one of Yan Dan's souls. Although he later sent that soul back into Yan Dan's body because of the Six-Fingered Black Knight, making him recover, after that incident, he had actually left a mark in Yan Dan's body. If the distance was close, he could use this mark to peek at some of Yan Dan's recent situation.

Yan Dan choosing to escape at this time was not a surprising thing.

Knowing that Yan Dan had already contacted the Six-Fingered Black Knight in private and was ready to escape with the help of the Mohist School at any time, Su Xuan went to the Xianyang Palace again and saw Ying Zheng, who was handling government affairs.

Ying Zheng was very busy. He was strong-willed and liked to do things himself, so he would rather handle many government affairs himself than hand them over to others, especially after realizing that many people around him had problems, he was even more unwilling to delegate power.

Basically, he had to be busy handling official business for most of the day, and not all official documents were written on silk; some were written on bamboo slips. Bamboo slips were thick, and a roll of bamboo slips could not carry much content, but looking at the pile of bamboo slips in front of Ying Zheng, sometimes it was daunting. Seeing this, Su Xuan's thought of papermaking flashed by.

Since he could not persuade Ying Zheng to give up handling official business, he could only find ways to reduce some pressure for Ying Zheng in other aspects.

After the thought arose, he looked at Ying Zheng, who had put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and talked about the matter of coming here.

"In other words, after Yan Dan learned of Li Mu's death, he was certain that Zhao Guo could not block Qin Guo, so he prepared to escape from Qin Guo. He knew that it was difficult to escape by himself, so he contacted the Mohist School, preparing to use the power of the Mohist School to escape from Qin Guo?"

After learning of Yan Dan's purpose, Ying Zheng frowned.

He did not expect Yan Dan to have such courage. As a hostage, he actually thought of escaping from Qin Guo. However, thinking of himself and his father, Ying Zheng developed some complex feelings.

Because he, as well as his father, King Zhuangxiang of Qin, were both hostages who escaped from Zhao Guo.

After knowing Yan Dan's purpose, Ying Zheng asked Su Xuan: "Mr. Su, how do you view this matter? Should we stop Yan Dan from escaping, or let him leave?"

Even if Yan Dan escaped back to Yan Guo, Ying Zheng did not care. After all, the national power of Yan Guo determined his upper limit. Even if Yan Dan was powerful, it was impossible to change Yan Guo out of thin air in a short time, making Yan Guo able to contend with Qin Guo.

The current Qin Guo had already formed a great trend.

After the Li Mu incident, Ying Zheng had already begun to prepare to raise arms again in the second half of the year, vowing to destroy Zhao Guo in one battle. The Han Guo matter told him that to destroy the six states of Shandong, one must be fast and not give them any preparation time or breathing space.

Zhao Guo had already lost Li Mu, which was equivalent to destroying its own Great Wall.

No other great general had Li Mu's military talent to contend with Qin Guo. Although Li Mu's deputy general Left Sima Shang was also okay, compared to Li Mu, he was still much worse.

Coupled with the fact that the King of Zhao had just passed away from illness and Zhao Qian had not finished the mourning period, the situation in Zhao Guo had not stabilized, so it was difficult for Ying Zheng not to think about destroying Zhao Guo.

It must be known that the previous destruction of Han Guo was also at a time when the former king of the enemy state had just passed away, the new king had not yet ascended the throne, and the situation had not stabilized.

"Has the King given up the heart to conquer the Mohist School?" Su Xuan asked Ying Zheng a question.

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Since the two agricultural tools manufactured by the Mohist leader were officially promoted, they have reclaimed I don't know how much fertile land for my Qin Guo, reduced the burden of a lot of manpower and animal power, and are deservedly divine tools for farming!"

"If the Mohist School is willing to be used by my Qin Guo, of course, it would be best!"

For some of the Mohist School's philosophies and theories, Ying Zheng did not agree, but the other party's mechanism techniques did move Ying Zheng.

Even if there was already a Gongshu family in Qin Guo, and the Gongshu family was also proficient in mechanism techniques, the two schools were ultimately different in what they were good at. At least, the Gongshu family had not created such agricultural tools for Qin Guo since they had been serving Qin Guo for so long.

"If the King wants to conquer the Mohist School, my suggestion is to temporarily let Yan Dan return to his country!"

"Oh?"

Ying Zheng looked at Su Xuan curiously, waiting for his explanation.

"Yan Dan will have the intention to return to his country, nothing more than seeing that Zhao Guo is difficult to resist Qin Guo, so he is prepared to return to Yan Guo and make some preparations to prevent Qin Guo's attack." Su Xuan narrated the cause and effect of the matter, "I know that in the King's view, even if Yan Dan is given another ten years, Yan Guo will not be Qin Guo's opponent, and Yan Dan's actions are all in vain. But in this world, since there are open plots, there are also secret plots..."

"Through legal reform, enriching the country and strengthening the army, resisting Qin Guo is indeed a way, but besides that, there are other ways to temporarily stop Qin Guo's attack!"

"What way?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Zhuan Zhu assassinates King Liao!"

Su Xuan said five words, but it was a story from many years ago. At the end of the Spring and Autumn period, Prince Guang of Wu, the later King Helu of Wu, wanted to kill King Liao of Wu and establish himself. Wu Wu Zixu recommended Zhuan Zhu to Prince Guang. Prince Guang took advantage of the emptiness inside Wu, conspired with Zhuan Zhu, and in the name of feasting King Liao of Wu, hid a dagger in the belly of a fish to present it. Zhuan Zhu assassinated King Liao of Wu on the spot, but was also killed by his guards. Historically, it is called "Assassinating King Liao," and the sword that Zhuan Zhu used to assassinate King Liao of Wu has been called the Fish-Gut Sword since then.

After Su Xuan said these five words, Ying Zheng knew what the other way was.

It was to stop Qin Guo from retreating by assassinating him.

"It's really funny, does Yan Dan think that by assassinating me, he can stop Qin Guo from destroying Yan Guo?" Ying Zheng sneered.

Su Xuan said: "Although the general trend cannot be violated, if the Qin Guo of that time falls into a state of having no leader, it will have no time to take care of Yan Guo in a short time. This move can win a certain amount of time for Yan Guo."

"Even if it is as the gentleman said, Yan Dan must be able to succeed. I live in the Xianyang Palace, how could I let him succeed!" Ying Zheng was very proud. He already had quite a bit of experience in encountering assassination.

When he was in Han Guo, he was safe and sound from the assassination of Xuan Xuan Jian, the top-tier 'Heaven' grade of the Net. There was no more dangerous moment than that. It must be known that at that time, he was not in Xianyang, not even in Qin Guo, alone in Xinzheng, with only one guard, Gai Nie, beside him. And Xuan Xuan Jian's strength was tyrannical. According to Gai Nie, when he and his junior brother Wei Zhuang joined forces, they were not Xuan Xuan Jian's opponents.

Xuan Xuan Jian's strength was shocking.

But even so, he still did not die.

Of course, this was also his good luck, meeting Su Xuan's help, but sometimes, luck is also a part of strength.
