Chapter 358: The Canhong Sword is forged!

~4 min read 648 words

Logically speaking, Jing Ke should not have been melancholy. In the Battle of Puyang, his master Gongsun Yu had died at the hands of the Qin Guo, so he already had a blood feud with the Qin Guo. After the Battle of Puyang, it was the Black Hero with Six Fingers who took him into the Mohist School and taught him martial arts. The Black Hero with Six Fingers treated him like his own child; he was a person equivalent to a father figure to him. The Black Hero with Six Fingers had been harmed by the joint forces of the Qin Guo's Yin-Yang School and Luo Wang.

His blood feud with the Qin Guo could be considered to have deepened by one more layer.

At this time, Yan Dan gave him an opportunity, entrusting him with a heavy responsibility to go and assassinate the King of Qin, Seeing Ying Zheng. Logically speaking, he should have been happy and should have firmly grasped this opportunity.

But in all honesty, Jing Ke actually did not want to carry out this mission.

Because he was greedy for life, he was reluctant to part.

His junior sister, Gongsun Liji, after the Battle of Puyang, because she was unwilling to join the Mohist School, was currently living alone in the State of Qi under the arrangement of the Mohist School. What Jing Ke was reluctant to part with was precisely his junior sister, Gongsun Liji.

Assassinating Seeing Ying Zheng, regardless of success or failure, he would very likely end up in the Qin Guo.

The people of the Qin Guo would not let go of a person who attempted to assassinate their King.

If he died, what would his junior sister do?

She had already lost her grandfather, and was about to lose him, her senior brother!

Jing Ke did not consider himself a person who feared death, but upon thinking of the consequences of assassinating Seeing Ying Zheng, he still couldn't help but have many thoughts.

Unlike Jing Ke.

Another person beside Jing Ke appeared somewhat carefree.

"Is Brother Jing worried about not being able to complete the task entrusted by the Leader?"

"Brother Jing, rest assured, I will definitely do my utmost to help you complete this matter. I must make that King of Qin, Seeing Ying Zheng, die to avenge Leader Six Fingers!"

The person speaking had a burly figure and was full of a sense of power. He was younger than Jing Ke. His name was Qin Wuyang, and he was originally from the State of Yan. Because he killed a man in a fit of rage on the street at the age of thirteen, he was subsequently wanted by the State of Yan.

Although the lands of Yan and Zhao had many heroes and occasionally had fights with weapons, this did not mean the Yan authorities ignored such things. In any case, the impact of Qin Wuyang killing a man on the street was too great. Even though he killed a notorious villain, he became a wanted criminal because of it. If caught, he would be executed.

Later, it was Crown Hearing Yan Dan who came forward to protect Qin Wuyang and even brought him into the Mohist School. Qin Wuyang was young, vigorous, and exceptionally brave. Not many years after joining the Mohist School, he became one of the Mohist leaders.

Although the Mohist School had many leaders, in reality, they had their own factions.

Like Master Ban and Xu Fuzi, they were purely neutral. Master Ban was because of his extremely old seniority, while Xu Fuzi was because his family had forged swords for the Mohist School for generations, making them an old-established force of the Mohist School. People like them never deliberately attached themselves to anyone; in any case, whoever was the Mohist Leader, they would listen to that person. ===== CHAPTER 360 =====
