Chapter 321 Severely Damaging the Yan Kingdom
"who are you?"

Hong'er frowned slightly upon hearing this. How did the other person know her name?

After speaking, she instinctively took a few steps back.

This was the first time she had seen Qian Sha. Qian Sha was filled with murderous aura and didn't look like a good person at all!
"It doesn't matter who I am."

"But I can take you away."

Qian Sha said with a serious smile.

Hong'er was startled again upon hearing this.

Who is coming?

Sent by Yan Dan?
It should not be.

After a moment's hesitation, Hong'er straightened up.

"What do you want from me?"

Hong'er's eyes widened.

Although she couldn't compare to Nongyu, Zinu, and others, her looks were not bad.

Although Yan Dan is hypocritical, he has always had good judgment. For example, he befriended Tian Guang, the leader of the Farmer's School of Chivalry, the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist School, and the wandering knight Jing Ke. If Hong'er were really bad, would Yan Dan have taken a liking to her?
"A few days ago, Touman suddenly attacked Mr. Xu. Is this related to Yan Dan?"

Qian Sha remained expressionless.

He stood very straight, like a sharp sword.

Hong'er's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. After a moment's thought, she nodded.

Yan Dan had already given her away—no, he should say he gave her away to a beast—so why was she still helping Yan Dan?
"Write down everything you know."

Qian Sha took out paper and pen from his sleeve.

"it is good."

Hong'er nodded slightly.

Then he took the paper and pen and began to write about Yan Dan's cooperation with Touman.

To save her life, she dared not lie.

She wrote it in great detail.

Seeing this, Qian Sha's eyes lit up with satisfaction, and then he left with Hong'er.

The Xiongnu cavalry were no match for Qian Sha, and before long, dozens of Xiongnu cavalrymen had died under Qian Sha's sword.

Hong'er followed Qian Sha closely, her clothes stained with blood. She knew there was no turning back.

……

at the same time.

Touman was drinking with the Right Wise King in the yurt.

"Your Excellency, Chanyu."

"People from the Central Plains cannot be relied upon."

"Only money, food, and women are real."

The Right Wise King said solemnly.

He didn't trust the people of the Central Plains. He had tried to dissuade Touman from cooperating with Yan Dan, but Touman wouldn't listen.

Touman used his dagger to cut open the half-cooked beef in front of him, threw it into his mouth, and nodded in agreement as he chewed.

The reason he suffered a major defeat some time ago was because he trusted Yan Dan too much and thought Xu Lin was easy to deal with. As a result, not only did he fail to deal with Xu Lin, he almost lost his life in Liaodong.

"Chanyu".

"If you ask me, we shouldn't cooperate with that Yan Dan."

"Although Yan Dan is the crown prince, he has no real power. Who knows if his actions are intended to make you antagonize the Qin state?"

The Right Wise King offered his advice.

After speaking, he picked up the sizzling lamb chop and handed it to Touman.

The sheep of the Xiongnu had little gamey smell and tasted very good.

"Kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

"He doesn't have the guts."

Touman shook his head.

Then we began to feast on the lamb chops.

Although he was the Chanyu, he ate in a very bad manner, drooling and making a lot of noise, just like the barbarians described by the people of the Central Plains.

"I've actually thought about what you're saying."

"But I did take his concubine after all."

"Taking money without doing anything, isn't that a bad idea?"

Touman said as he ate.

Although he hadn't read many books, he valued his reputation highly; in his view, reputation was very important.

If his reputation is ruined, who will want to cooperate with him in the future?

"It's not that we won't do it, but that we'll postpone it."

The Right Wise King gently stroked his brow and said.

The implication of his words was clear: to continue cooperating on the surface, but to actually contribute nothing.

"good idea!"

Touman's eyes lit up.

Immediately afterwards, his men reported that someone had kidnapped Hong'er.

"???"

"Who did it?"

"Did Yan Dan regret it?"

"No one from the Central Plains can be trusted!"

The Right Wise King slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"I'm not sure if the person who came was sent by Yan Dan." The person lowered his head.

Touman remained silent and left the yurt in a menacing manner.

By the time he arrived, Qian Sha and Hong'er were long gone.

"Yan Dan, you brat, have insulted me far too much!"

"Guards, take me away..."

Touman, seeing that nearly a hundred people were wounded, was furious.

Few people knew that Yan Dan had given Hong'er to him, so he couldn't think of any other possibility except that Yan Dan had gone back on his word and sent people to kidnap Hong'er.

"Wait a minute!"

"Your Majesty, I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing."

The Right Wise King stopped him.

What do you mean by that?

Touman was still angry, so his tone was very harsh.

"My lord, you should think about it. Xu Lin is the Grand Tutor of Qin and a favorite minister of the King of Qin."

"Will this assassination attempt just end like this?"

"The mastermind behind this is none other than that scoundrel Yan Dan. So why don't you just stand by and watch?"

The Right Wise King had a big smile on his face.

"Sitting on the sidelines and watching the tigers fight?"

"good idea!"

Tou Man frowned slightly, then spoke in a loud voice.

After saying this, he ordered that discussions about his past cooperation with Yan Dan would no longer be prohibited.

Sending people directly to Liaodong to spread the news would arouse Xu Lin's suspicion, so Touman chose a 'slow' approach.

The Luo Wang assassins are everywhere. If Xu Lin wants to investigate, it won't be long before the news reaches his ears.

……

The next day.

Xu Residence, Liaodong, Yan State.

Xu Lin had just finished breakfast when Qian Sha arrived.

"Have you all already eaten?"

Xu Lin looked at Qian Sha and Hong'er and asked.

Qian Sha nodded, while Hong'er shook her head.

Upon seeing this, Xu Lin did not have Nongyu serve rice to Hong'er. Instead, he pointed to the pot not far away and told Hong'er to serve herself the rice.

"Thank you, sir!"

Hong'er was very surprised by this.

Then he quickly walked towards the kitchen.

Qian Sha hesitated for a moment, then handed the 'confession' written by Hong'er to Xu Lin.

Xu Lin put down his bowl and stared intently at the 'confession'.

After reading it, he asked Hong'er to recount the whole incident again.

After confirming that Hong'er was not lying, Xu Lin wrote a letter to Ying Zheng, intending to take this opportunity to severely damage the Yan state.

Since Hong'er was a witness, Xu Lin instructed Qian Sha to send people to protect her.

"promise!"

Qian Sha immediately accepted the order.

Although Xu Lin was not a member of the Luo Wang organization, Qian Sha considered him his superior because Ying Zheng, the leader of the Luo Wang organization, had ordered him to be protected.

"Go."

Xu Lin nodded.

Then he let Qian Sha and Hong'er leave.

"gentlemen."

When are we going back to Xianyang?

After Qian Sha and Hong'er walked away, Nongyu blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.

She missed her mother and her sister Zi Nu.

Now that it has been confirmed that Yan Dan was the mastermind behind Touman's assassination, is there any need to continue staying in the State of Yan?
"You want to go back?"

Xu Lin asked.

"There are some."

Nongyu gently gathered her hair, without denying it.

"Wait a minute."

"Since we've come all the way to Liaodong, how can we not attend the Treasure Exchange Conference?"

Xu Lin smiled indifferently.

Then he opened his arms and told Nongyu that if she felt cold, she could come into his arms.

"I'm not cold."

Nongyu immediately refused.

She was Xu Lin's sworn sister. Since they were alone in a room, she couldn't have too much intimate contact with Xu Lin.

She dreamt of Xu Lin last night; in the dream, she and Xu Lin...

Thinking of this, Nongyu coughed lightly twice, her cheeks slightly flushed.
