Chapter 327

Inside the post house, the stove was burning fiercely, and from time to time, crackling sounds came from the flames.

Yan Dan looked at Tian Guang quietly and asked in a deep voice, "What wonderful strategy does Master Tian Guang have?"

Tian Guang did not state his strategy directly but looked at Yan Dan and asked a question: "Before answering Your Highness the Crown Prince's question, I need to confirm one thing!"

"Since Your Highness the Crown Prince escaped from the Qin Guo back to the State of Yan, has your greatest wish—the wish you would spare no cost to realize—wavered until now?"

What was Yan Dan's wish?

It was to strengthen the State of Yan so that it would be enough to contend with the Qin Guo and not perish at the hands of the Qin Guo.

Although this wish could not compare to Han Fei's "He wants ninety-nine of the seven kingdoms," relatively speaking, the difficulty was actually much lower, provided that Yan Dan had enough time.

As long as he was given time to let the State of Yan become slightly stronger, not to mention defeating the Qin Guo, it was actually possible to hold out for a few more years under the conquest of the Qin Guo.

After pondering, Yan Dan said with a solemn expression, "It has not wavered!"

Tian Guang sighed and said softly, "I understand."

Immediately, he stated his countermeasure.

"The Qin Guo is attacking Zhao and has now reached Handan. The State of Zhao is about to perish. Once the State of Zhao is occupied by the Qin Guo, the Qin army can cross the Yi River at any time and threaten the State of Yan... Even if Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to make the State of Yan strong enough to contend with the Qin Guo, you do not have enough time, or rather, the Qin Guo will not give Your Highness the Crown Prince that time."

"In the current situation, to confront the Qin Guo and hinder their pace of conquering the world, one must take a sword-slanting path and take a risky move to have any hope of winning a glimmer of hope!"

"What does Master Tian Guang want to say?"

Yan Dan heard something unusual in Tian Guang's words.

"Assassinate... Ying Zheng!"
