Chapter 224

Yan Dan's ruthlessness was beyond Duanmu Rong's expectations.

Or rather, even Duanmu Rong had not expected Yan Dan to deal such a ruthless blow. Doing such a thing was beyond her imagination. She had a good impression of Yan Dan and had contacted him many times. In her impression, Yan Dan was a graceful gentleman, kind to others, and although he was of noble status, he pitied the bottom-level people. It was because of this that the Six-Fingered Senior chose to be close to Yan Dan.

As a result, she did not expect Yan Dan to be a guy with a human face and a beast's heart.

Duanmu Rong did not think the Six-Fingered Senior would lie. Since he had said it was Yan Dan who plotted against him, then it was clearly all true.

However, there was still some curiosity.

Duanmu Rong asked the Six-Fingered Black Knight again, "Six-Fingered Senior, why did Yan Dan...?"

"Perhaps because I opposed the assassination of the Qin Emperor he proposed!"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight's expression was complex as he recounted what happened in Zhao Guo.

Su Xuan actually knew these things, but he had only told Ying Zheng and had not told Nian Duan and Duanmu Rong.

After the two learned the inside story of the matter.

There was another round of marveling.

At first, they were only shocked that Yan Dan had attacked the Six-Fingered Black Knight. Now, knowing the inside story, they also felt some anger toward Yan Dan.

"This Yan Dan is truly detestable. The Six-Fingered Senior sympathized with the people of the world and did not want to carry out this matter. Yan Dan not listening to the Six-Fingered Senior's advice was one thing, but he actually colluded with Nongjia in private and attacked the Six-Fingered Senior!"

Duanmu Rong said angrily.

She quite agreed with the Six-Fingered Black Knight's statement.

Although Yan Dan kept saying that assassinating Ying Zheng could save Zhao Guo, this was just his delusion. Ying Zheng's death might cause the Qin Empire to fall into a chaotic situation without a leader for a short time, but it was precisely because the Qin Empire fell into chaos that the angry Qin Empire might swing its butcher's knife toward Zhao Guo, which led the assassination. At that time, it would not be as simple as the fall of Zhao Guo; countless innocent people of Zhao Guo would also be sacrificed because of this.

Duanmu Rong had stayed in the Qin Empire for a long time. If her initial impression of the Qin Empire was very poor, then after joining the Yin-Yang School and staying in the Qin Empire for so long, her impression of the Qin Empire had also changed somewhat.

Although the Qin Empire still did not change its original intention, wantonly conquering the world and raising armies, causing the people of various countries to suffer from the hardships of war, and many people to lose their homes and families because of this, she had also heard that the Qin Empire would take the initiative to relieve the civilians there after occupying each place.

She did not know when the Qin Empire started to change and do such things.

Perhaps since that great drought in Han Guo!

But this behavior was indeed praised by Duanmu Rong's master, Nian Duan. Although Duanmu Rong did not say anything on the surface about the Qin Empire's action, she quite agreed with it in her heart.

For her, right is right, and wrong is wrong. The Qin Empire's behavior of conquering the world was naturally wrong, but she had to admit that the Qin Empire was right to relieve the civilians.

This country was not a cold-blooded country without temperature.

Then what about Yan Dan's behavior?

Assassinating Ying Zheng was undoubtedly to wipe out the last bit of temperature this country had. This was an atrocity that disregarded the people of the world for the sake of personal selfishness!

Duanmu Rong did not think that assassinating Ying Zheng could save the world.

In the end, it was just Yan Dan's selfishness at work, inevitably mixed with some personal grudges.

Su Xuan listened to Duanmu Rong's angry voice and also clicked his tongue in wonder in his heart. Before the Six-Fingered Black Knight woke up, Duanmu Rong was absolutely certain that Yan Dan would not do such a thing and that he was slandering Yan Dan. As a result, after hearing the Six-Fingered Black Knight clarify that it was indeed Yan Dan's doing, Duanmu Rong immediately changed her tune.

This could only be said that Yan Dan's past actions were not enough, and his status in Duanmu Rong's heart was ultimately not as high as the Six-Fingered Black Knight's.

"Yes, even I did not expect him to be such a wolf-hearted person!" The Six-Fingered Black Knight's tone was very heavy, and his expression was very complex. He looked at Su Xuan again, "That day you advised me and told me Yan Dan had problems, but I did not listen to your words."

"But in the end, you saved me!"

"I have to say thank you to you again!"

Previously, the Six-Fingered Black Knight had thanked Su Xuan, and now, he said the word thank you again.

It was really because Su Xuan saved him, which made him feel grateful.

He was not afraid of death, but afraid that after his death, the Mohist faction would become a tool for Yan Dan to achieve his ambition, and the entire Mohist faction would perish directly because of Yan Dan.

After finishing the word thank you again, the Six-Fingered Black Knight could not help but ask Su Xuan, "However, I am still very curious, how did you appear in Zhao Guo?"

Duanmu Rong and Nian Duan also looked at Su Xuan curiously.

The fact that Su Xuan brought the heavily injured and dying Six-Fingered Black Knight back from Zhao Guo also made them click their tongues in wonder.

Su Xuan explained, "Lord Yan Chun has a close relationship with our Qin Empire's Net. I happened to go to Zhao Guo because of Lord Yan Chun's affairs, and then I discovered your aura in Jicheng, so I followed you for a while, and then I discovered you were attacked and killed. This can be considered a coincidence..."

Su Xuan did not tell the Six-Fingered Black Knight that he had long known Yan Dan would attack him, so he deliberately went to Zhao Guo. He casually found a reason to fob off the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

Lord Yan Chun, and the Qin Empire have a relationship?

Hearing this news, the Six-Fingered Black Knight could not help but be startled.

And then he felt relieved. Regardless of what relationship Lord Yan Chun had with the Qin Empire, this matter had nothing to do with him anymore, and the rise and fall of Zhao Guo had nothing to do with him from now on.

After walking on the edge of death, he discovered that he also had selfishness.

His selfishness was the Mohist faction.

Putting the rise and fall of Zhao Guo and the rise and fall of the Mohist faction together, he cared more about the Mohist faction.

Because the Qin Empire's general trend had been formed, wanting to destroy Zhao Guo was an easy thing. Stopping the Qin Empire from destroying Zhao Guo was actually going against the general trend. The Six-Fingered Black Knight considered that even if he bet the entire Mohist faction, he could not change this fact.

Therefore, rather than helping Zhao Guo go against the trend, it would be better to find a way to preserve the Mohist faction. The inheritance of the Mohist faction for hundreds of years could not be cut off because of him.

"That was really a coincidence!" The Six-Fingered Black Knight sighed and said again, "I need to go to Zhao Guo. Yan Dan colluded with Nongjia and joined forces to plot against me. I need to go find him to settle the score. I absolutely cannot let the Mohist faction become a tool for him to achieve his ambition!"

"That is probably already too late!"

Su Xuan interrupted the Six-Fingered Black Knight's words, "A few days ago, Zhao Guo already sent a state letter, using Zhao Guo's Dukang land and Fan Fan Yuqi's head as a price to seek peace with the Qin Empire. There are two envoys sent by Zhao Guo to the Qin Empire this time: the chief envoy Jing Ke, and the deputy envoy Qin Qin Wuyang!"
