Yan Dan developed the intention to escape.

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

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

But after all, he was not in the State of Yan in person. The Qin Guo was far away from the State of Yan. If he wanted to do things, he was always beyond his reach, not as good as going back and implementing it himself.

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

But fortunately, he was never alone.

That day, after he encountered the people of the Yin-Yang School and fell into a coma, it was the Mohist Leader, the Six-Fingered Black Hero, who saved him. Yan Dan owed this Mohist Leader a lot, and he did not know how to repay him.

But repayment is one thing; at this moment, intending to escape, he 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 Hero, who had received the letter, came to Xianyang again.

To be honest, the Six-Fingered Black Hero actually did not want to come to Xianyang. More than a year ago, when he escorted Yan Dan to Xianyang, that Yin-Yang School Master 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 in the world today who agreed with the Mohist philosophy.

The Six-Fingered Black Hero and the other person could be said to be like old friends at first sight, and then became inseparable. More than a year ago, when Yan Dan's soul was snatched away by Su Xuan, the Six-Fingered Black Hero almost did not hesitate much before going to the Yin-Yang School alone. Well, it could not be said that he went alone; Nian Duan and Duanmu Rong accompanied him, but it could also be considered as actively stepping into a desperate situation.

One must know that the Mohist School and the Yin-Yang School had long-standing grudges. Even if the many experts of the Yin-Yang School surrounded and killed him, he would not find any reason to absolve himself.

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

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

It was because of the high regard he had for Yan Dan.

In other words, he could be said to have risked his life, and even helped the Qin Guo manufacture two pieces of agricultural equipment, just to save Yan Dan's life. If he were to abandon Yan Dan just like that, it would be somewhat unjustifiable.

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

"I ask the Leader to help me!"

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

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

Yan Dan said: "I heard that the King of Zhao passed away, and the Zhao Guo Grand General Li Mu also followed him. Li Mu once crushed the 100,000-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 the offensive of the Qin Guo. If Zhao Guo is destroyed, the State of Yan will have to directly face the threat from the Qin Guo!"

The Six-Fingered Black Hero 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 overly anxious?"

Yan Dan said with a solemn expression: "The Leader does not know that for more than a year, I have been carefully observing the Qin Guo. The power of the Qin Guo exceeded my expectations. I originally thought that destroying the State of Han would more or less hurt its vitality, but as a result, destroying the State of Han did not hurt the vitality of the Qin Guo at all. Especially last year, the Qin Guo relied on the power of the Gongshu family to develop two pieces of equipment used in agriculture. Combined with the Zheng Guo Canal that had already been completed, the Guanzhong region could be said to have bumper harvests everywhere, and there was so much grain that the warehouses could not hold it all."

"The strength of the Qin army and the prosperity of the country are beyond ordinary people's imagination."

"Not to mention anything else, at the beginning of this year, the Qin Guo attacked Zhao. If it hadn't been blocked by Li Mu, coupled with Wang Jian's maturity and prudence, if they had gone all out regardless of the cost, they could have destroyed Zhao Guo in one battle!"

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

0 ········ Begging for flowers ········

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

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

He wanted to return to the State of Yan.

After the Six-Fingered Black Hero learned of Yan Dan's purpose, he was silent for a while and said: "That day, I was the one who escorted the Crown Prince to the 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 Hero, a trace of joy could not help but appear on Yan Dan's face.

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

The Six-Fingered Black Hero added: "You are a hostage sent by the State of Yan to the 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, the Qin Guo will definitely pursue you with all its might."

"To escort you back to the State of Yan safely, I need to make some preparations!"

Yan Dan nodded, indicating he knew.

After this chat with Yan Dan, the Six-Fingered Black Hero 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 gone to make some preparations these past few days.

Now, it was basically ready.
