Chapter 329

Among the various schools of thought, there were quite a few mysterious sects.

The Yin-Yang School was one of them, but the mystery of the Yin-Yang School stemmed from their style of conduct, as they always liked to hide under the cover of night, acting sneakily. But in reality, for Yan Dan, the Yin-Yang School was not particularly mysterious, as the Yin-Yang School had once served the State of Yan, and in some of the State of Yan's archives, there were still records about the Yin-Yang School.

And besides the Yin-Yang School, the Agricultural School was also a mysterious sect. Their mystery was somewhat similar to the Daoist school that lived in seclusion in the Southern Mountains. Their disciples usually hid in deep mountains and old forests, with the woods covering their tracks, casting a veil of mystery over them.

Of course, Yan Dan had a close relationship with the Mohist School and was a high-ranking Mohist figure being groomed by the Six-Fingered Black Hero as the next leader, so he knew some inside information.

The Agricultural School of the past was also very mysterious, but not to this extent.

Now, the reason they were so mysterious and completely absent from the world was that many years ago, they had done something earth-shattering, which angered the Qin Guo and led to their suppression.

"It is actually the Xia Kui himself!"

Upon learning Tian Guang's identity, Yan Dan was shocked, and immediately, he also hurriedly performed a salute to Tian Guang.

The Xia Kui of the Agricultural School, in terms of status, could be equated with the Six-Fingered Black Hero and was a leader of a school of thought. Although he was the Crown Prince of the State of Yan, he had to be polite when facing such a person.

Even, Yan Dan had some thoughts in his heart.

Tian Guang had been hiding his identity and appearing by his side; was it because the Agricultural School also took a fancy to him and was prepared to submit to him?

The Agricultural School had once accomplished that thing back then.

Regarding assassination, the Agricultural School was professional. If there was the help of the Agricultural School, it might not be impossible to complete what Tian Guang said.

Moreover, regarding that matter, he had already proposed specific feasible measures.

The land of Dukang and Fan Yuqi's head were both things used to win Seeing Ying Zheng's trust.

Yan Dan recovered from the shock brought by Tian Guang being the Xia Kui of the Agricultural School and asked Tian Guang, "Ceding the land of Dukang and offering Fan Yuqi's head can only temporarily win Seeing Ying Zheng's trust. Master Tian Guang has not yet said how to carry out the assassination?"

Tian Guang sighed in his heart. Yan Dan was indeed powerful; it was no wonder he was so highly valued by the Mohist School. He had accepted his identity as the Xia Kui of the Agricultural School so quickly and then continued to ask about the previous matter.

This also showed.

Compared to Fan Yuqi, Yan Dan trusted Tian Guang more.

If the strategy proposed by Tian Guang, the Xia Kui of the Agricultural School, was truly feasible, he did not mind sacrificing Fan Yuqi.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is right. Whether it is the land of Dukang or Fan Yuqi's head, they can only temporarily win Seeing Ying Zheng's trust. To complete the assassination, two more conditions need to be met."

"The first condition is a sharp weapon that is indestructible and enough to kill with one blow, and the second condition is a master who can take on this great responsibility!"

"I ask Master Tian Guang to help me!" Hearing this, Yan Dan hurriedly cupped his hands to Tian Guang.

To Yan Dan's surprise, after hearing Yan Dan's request, Tian Guang shook his head gently and said in a deep voice, "I cannot help Your Highness the Crown Prince with this matter. In my Agricultural School, there is no master who can take on this heavy responsibility."

"However, another sect can help Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Looking at Yan Dan, Tian Guang spat out two words: "Mohist School!"

Yan Dan was shocked, and then relieved. Since Tian Guang's true identity was the Xia Kui of the Agricultural School, it was not strange that he knew about the relationship between him and the Mohist School.

"The Leader will not agree to this matter!" Yan Dan said in a deep voice, which could be considered an admission of his relationship with the Mohist School.

"But for the sake of the State of Yan, Your Highness the Crown Prince must persuade the Mohist Leader!" Tian Guang said another sentence.

Yan Dan's expression was solemn, and he fell silent.

He knew the Six-Fingered Black Hero very well and had simulated many conversations with him in his mind. As a result, without exception, the Six-Fingered Black Hero would refuse this matter.

But as Tian Guang said, for the sake of the State of Yan, for the sake of these people of the State of Yan, he had to persuade the Mohist Leader.

Thinking about it in his mind, Yan Dan asked Tian Guang another question.

"Even if the Mohist School forges a sharp weapon that can kill with one blow and selects a master who can take on the great responsibility, how can Master Tian Guang be certain that the assassination can succeed?"

"It is not an easy thing to bring a sharp weapon into the Xianyanggong!"

Before many envoys step into the Xianyanggong, they must undergo a detailed inspection.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince need not worry about this matter. In the Qin Guo, there are people who will help us arrange everything."

"Who?" Yan Dan asked in a deep voice, somewhat curious.

Being able to help the envoys of the State of Yan bring the murder weapon into the Xianyanggong, that person's energy would absolutely not be small.

"Lord Changping!"

"It's him?!"

Yan Dan was very shocked. He certainly knew Lord Changping, who was a high-ranking official of the Qin Guo and had a very close relationship with Seeing Ying Zheng. "How can you be certain that Lord Changping will help me? You must know that his relationship with the Qin Wang is exceptionally close."

"Although Lord Changping holds a high position in the Qin Guo, he is even more a man of the State of Chu!"

Tian Guang said softly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince probably does not know that over the years, my Agricultural School has developed rapidly in the lands of Qi and Chu, precisely because of Lord Changping's funding!"

"Just as Your Highness the Crown Prince does not want to see the State of Yan destroyed by the Qin Guo, Lord Changping also does not want to see the State of Chu destroyed by the Qin Guo."

"He once assisted the Qin Wang in pacifying the rebellion of Lao Ai, with the original intention of hoping that the Qin Guo and the State of Chu could be in eternal friendship. But after knowing the ambition of the Qin Wang when he sent troops to destroy the State of Han, he has already begun to regret it!"

Yan Dan said coldly, "The person funding the Agricultural School is Lord Changping, and Lord Changping let Master Tian Guang come to persuade me to assassinate the Qin Wang. This is preparing to use me as a knife!"

"How dare I!" Tian Guang explained, "Although Lord Changping holds a high position in the Qin Guo and has the help of my Agricultural School, it is extremely difficult to assassinate the Qin Wang. In the world today, only Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Mohist School can accomplish this."

Yan Dan's expression was silent, not showing any self-satisfaction.

Tian Guang continued, "Although the State of Yan might face pressure from the Qin Guo after Your Highness the Crown Prince assassinates the Qin Wang, Your Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured that at that time, Lord Changping will certainly try his best to mediate so that the Qin Guo will not send troops to the State of Yan. In addition, the eldest son of the Qin Guo is Lord Changping's nephew. He is not old and has always trusted Lord Changping. If the Qin Wang passes away and the eldest son ascends the throne, the person he can rely on will only be Lord Changping."

"Lord Changping can imitate the Lu Buwei of the past, and as a regent, handle the state affairs of the Qin Guo on his behalf. Whether it is the State of Yan or the State of Chu, they can all be preserved in this process. By that time, Your Highness the Crown Prince will also have enough time to strengthen the State of Yan."

"Isn't this a win-win situation?"
