Chapter 236

~8 min read 1,446 words

Although it was hard to accept that many more wars would break out in the world, there was one thing the Six-Fingered Black Knight had never doubted: whether the Qin State had the ability to wipe out the states and unify the world.

After coming into contact with the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, the Six-Fingered Black Knight could feel Ying Zheng's extraordinary nature more and more, and at the same time, he could not help but marvel at the luck of the Qin State.

One must know that counting the Han and Zhao states that had already perished, among the six states of Shandong, muddled monarchs were common. To be precise, none of the contemporary monarchs of the six states of Shandong could be considered wise monarchs.

And what about the Qin State?

Counting the short-lived monarchs of the previous two generations, for several generations, there had not been a single muddled monarch.

Even the King Zhaoxiang of Qin, who had often raised troops and was feared by many monarchs and ministers of the six states of Shandong, the Six-Fingered Black Knight had to admit that the other party was truly a hero of a generation. Not to mention the kings of Qin before King Zhaoxiang of Qin, it was those kings of Qin who made the Qin State constantly stronger, and it was not until the time of King Zhaoxiang of Qin that the Qin State had the strength to dominate the world.

Back then, when King Zhaoxiang of Qin used Bai Qi as a general, the Qin State actually already had the strength to wipe out the six states of Shandong. After him, the Qin State rested and recuperated for decades, while the six states of Shandong not only did not take this opportunity to restore their national strength, but on the contrary, their national strength became weaker and weaker. Therefore, at present, it was not surprising that the Qin State could easily wipe out several countries.

Although that was the case, as soon as he thought of the innocent people suffering in the war, the Six-Fingered Black Knight still became unhappy.

Su Xuan saw the Six-Fingered Black Knight's unhappiness and immediately reprimanded him sternly: "Since the Six-Fingered Master has already seen the situation clearly and knows that the general trend of Qin wiping out the states and unifying the world is irreversible, then instead of feeling sorry for yourself here, it is better to think of ways to make preparations for the restoration of the land after the war in advance!"

"The agricultural implements that the Six-Fingered Master developed for my Qin State are currently running non-stop in the fields, and many farmers have benefited from them!"

"If one day, such implements, and even more implements, spread all over the world, and all the countries of the world have a bumper harvest, and the grain fills the warehouses, or even overflows, even if many people die in the war, the remaining people can live a better life than they do now. This should also be something the Six-Fingered Master is happy to see!"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight raised his head, looked at Su Xuan, and was stunned.

He did not expect that the leader of the Yin-Yang School would say such words. After all, such words were really not something that the leader of the Yin-Yang School could say, but he had to admit that Su Xuan, the leader of the Yin-Yang School, was different from the leaders of the Yin-Yang School he had known in the past, and he was indeed compassionate to the people at the bottom. A long time ago, he had learned from Nian Duan that Su Xuan had sent Yin-Yang School disciples to help with disaster relief.

Earlier, Su Xuan had even asked him to improve farm tools.

When he helped Yan Dan escape from the Qin State last time, he had observed the Qin State. As Su Xuan expected, those farm tools indeed helped the farmers of the Qin State a lot. If one day, such farm tools spread all over the countries of the world, perhaps the world could really usher in an era of bumper harvests.

Through Su Xuan's words, the Six-Fingered Black Knight gradually found some goals to strive for.

Since he could not stop the general trend of the Qin State unifying the world, he could make some efforts for the restoration of the land after the war.

The Qin army was like a hot knife through butter.

They quickly defeated the Yan-Dai coalition army and then headed straight for Jicheng.

Facing the aggressive Qin army, King Xi of Yan fell into a state of extreme fear. He could only avoid direct conflict with the Qin army and retreated toward the Qin Wuyang land, the lower capital of the Yan State.

Unfortunately, even if they retreated toward Qin Wuyang, the Qin State did not intend to let the Yan State go.

After occupying Jicheng, the Qin State continued to pursue relentlessly.

As a result, the King of Yan could only continue to flee and retreat toward the Liaodong land.

On the way to march, he looked at Yan Dan who was fleeing with him, and he was suddenly filled with anger.

"Rebellious son, it's all because of you that my Yan State has ended up in such a situation. How do you still have the face to follow me?"

Looking at the disheveled and unkempt Yan Dan, King Xi of Yan was extremely angry.

Earlier, the Yan-Dai coalition army resisted the Qin army in the Yi River. Yan Dan once took the lead, but after discovering that the Yan-Dai coalition army could not be relied upon, he decisively abandoned his ally Zhao Jia and fled directly.

Subsequently, he followed his father and kept fleeing.

As they transferred positions one after another and the Qin army pursued relentlessly, the conflict between the father and son gradually broke out.

King Xi of Yan was an incompetent monarch. When something happened, he never looked for the reason in himself, and he did not think that this time the Qin State wiping out Yan had anything to do with him. The cause was all Yan Dan behind his back letting the assassin assassinate Ying Zheng.

If there had been no self-assertion by Yan Dan, he would have already exchanged the Dukang map and the head of Fan Fan Yuqi for peace.

Listening to his father's reprimand, Yan Dan could only lower his head.

He actually had a lot to say, but in the end, he could not say it.

Success makes a king, failure makes a bandit. If the assassination of Qin had succeeded, he would naturally be a hero who saved the Yan State, but the key was that it failed.

After King Xi of Yan reprimanded Yan Dan for a long time, he let him leave temporarily.

After Yan Dan left, another figure stepped into the camp, and the visitor was Lord Lord Yanchun.

"What are you doing here?"

Looking at this younger brother whom he usually favored the most, King Xi of Yan did not have a good face.

Because it was Lord Lord Yanchun who helped Yan Dan, which convinced him to appoint Jing Ke and Qin Qin Wuyang, whom he had never heard of, as envoys.

"I am here to share the worries for my brother!" Lord Lord Yanchun said.

King Xi of Yan immediately looked at this younger brother who was usually ignorant and incompetent and like a wine bag and rice sack with some surprise.

Lord Lord Yanchun explained: "The Qin State's attack on Yan this time was because the Crown Prince sent someone to assassinate the King of Qin. The Qin State came for revenge. At present, the Crown Prince is fleeing with us. The Qin State has never received the head of the enemy, so naturally, they will pursue relentlessly..."

"What do you mean?" King Xi of Yan gradually understood the meaning of Lord Lord Yanchun's words.

But he was still a bit reluctant.

After all, he only had this one son.

"Brother, if you don't cut it off, you will definitely suffer chaos!" Lord Lord Yanchun continued to persuade.

King Xi of Yan also gradually made a decision.

In the end, people are selfish.

Especially King Xi of Yan, who was originally the King of Yan, but was implicated by a brat, and now was forced to flee. The power and wealth of the past were all far away, and he was still a bit unwilling in the end.

If he could use Yan Dan's life to exchange for everything back, it would be worth it.
