Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 323 The Greatly Fake Yan Dan

Three days later.

Yan Dan finally met the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist school, who was wearing a black cloak.

"teacher."

At the summit, Yan Dan faced the back of the six-fingered black-clad swordsman and bowed respectfully.

"Was it your idea or Grand Tutor Ju's idea to use the Xiongnu to eliminate Xu Lin?"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight said with a serious smile.

In his view, it was a very foolish thing to kill Xu Lin through the Xiongnu Chanyu Touman.

Who is Xu Lin?

Killing him is easier said than done.
And even if you kill Xu Lin, will the King of Qin let the State of Yan go?
"It was my idea."

Yan Dan lowered her head.

He knew now was not the time to shift the blame.

"I once told you that the best strategy is to subdue the enemy without fighting."

"The Qin state's power is already established. Even if Xu Lin doesn't exist, there will be Wang Lin or Li Lin."

"Would killing him solve the fundamental problem?"

Six-Fingered Black Knight turned to look at Yan Dan.

His face was expressionless, and his tone was full of displeasure.

“Those involved are often blinded by their own interests. Only now do I realize that killing Xu Lin is merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause.”

"I have failed my teacher."

Yan Dan clasped his hands in a respectful bow.

He appeared very sincere because he knew that Six-Fingered Black Knight was not a heartless person.

If Six-Fingered Black Knight doesn't want to take him in, he won't see him.

What are your plans next?

The Six-Fingered Black Knight asked.

Yan Dan was still young and inevitably made mistakes. In his youth, he almost made a serious mistake due to his arrogance.

Although Xu Lin and the King of Qin knew that Yan Dan was the mastermind behind Xu Lin's death, fortunately Xu Lin was still alive, so Xu Lin and the King of Qin would most likely not completely break ties with the State of Yan because of this!

"I intend to go to the State of Qi or the Baiyue region to seek refuge."

Yan Dan said as she thought about it.

He initially intended to seek refuge in the Mo Family's Mechanical City, but then he reconsidered and decided it would be better to retreat in order to advance.

He is the personal disciple of Six-Fingered Black Knight. Will Six-Fingered Black Knight send him to the State of Qi or the Baiyue Kingdom to live in anonymity?
Upon hearing this, Six-Fingered Black Knight felt a sense of relief.

The fact that Yan Dan didn't mention seeking refuge in the Mo Family's Mechanical City shows that Yan Dan has matured. Going to the Mo Family's Mechanical City would only bring trouble to the Mo Family.

Seeing that the Six-Fingered Black Knight remained silent, Yan Dan's Adam's apple bobbed.

Would Six-Fingered Black Knight really send him to Qi or Baiyue for refuge?

He was using a retreat as a tactic to advance; he didn't really want to go to the State of Qi or the Baiyue!

But since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue to advance by retreating.

To prevent Six-Fingered Black Knight from not trying to keep him, he decided to play the emotional card.

"We part today, and who knows how many years it will be before we meet again."

Take care, teacher!

"My teacher's words were truly profound and I will never forget them!"

Yan Dan feigned sadness.

After speaking, he bowed deeply to the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

Then he looked up and gazed at the State of Qi.

The Baiyue region is a land of miasma and pestilence, far from the Qin state, and is not as good as the Qi state.

Take care, teacher!

Seeing that the Six-Fingered Black Knight did not try to stop him, Yan Dan pretended to choke up.

After saying this, he knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Then, feigning resoluteness, he left.

His loyalty and sense of righteousness made it impossible for Six-Fingered Black Knight not to try and keep him.

After more than ten breaths, the Six-Fingered Black Knight raised his hand and called out to Yan Dan.

People can not escape from doing wrong?
"The Mohists advocated universal love and non-aggression, while the Qin state insisted on conquering the world."

"Qin Mo is ultimately an enemy. If that's the case, why go to such lengths to seek help when you can find someone nearby?"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight spoke slowly.

Although Yan Dan has many shortcomings, she also has many advantages.

For example, he was very respectful to him, knew the bigger picture, and behaved like a gentleman.

"I do not want to implicate my teacher."

Yan Dan was delighted upon hearing this, then stopped and explained in a serious tone.

"A teacher for a day, a father for life."

"Since I am your teacher, I am not afraid of being implicated by you."

Six-Fingered Black Swordsman. Then he took Yan Dan to the Mo Family Mechanical City.

Yan Dan was overjoyed, but his face still showed worry and melancholy, as if he was truly afraid of implicating the Mo family.

……

at the same time.

Xu Residence, Liaodong, Yan State.

A biting wind blew outside the window, while Xu Lin and Nongyu played chess by the fireplace in the study.

The roaring fire radiated light and warmth, making Nongyu, dressed in a pale yellow dress, look very soothing.

"gentlemen."

When are we going back?

Nongyu put her legs together and blinked her beautiful eyes as she asked.

Now that the King of Qin has sent envoys to Yan, their mission is complete.

In Nongyu's opinion, there was no need for her and Xu Lin to stay in Yan.

"You want to go home?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

In his later years, he was a left-behind child from the time he could remember. He went to primary school in the village, junior high school in the town, high school in the county, university in the provincial capital, and later worked in the Yangtze River Delta region.

Therefore, he is not a homebody.

"kindness."

"I miss Sister Zi Nu and my mother a little."

Nongyu nodded slightly and tucked a strand of hair from the left side of her face behind her ear.

She didn't used to be attached to home because she had no home to be attached to before. It was only after reuniting with her mother that she began to feel attached to home.

In the end, Nongyu was still a girl who was not even twenty years old!
"I miss them too."

Xu Linxin said.

"The YiBao conference is starting the day after tomorrow."

"I plan to wait until the YiBao conference is over before I leave."

Xu Lin said seriously.

In the original story, Touman Chanyu of the Xiongnu participated in the treasure exchange conference.

If Touman participates in the Yibao Conference again, it will be a good opportunity for revenge!

"it is good."

Nongyu nodded.

Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip of the weak tea.

"Yu'er."

What do you think is the meaning of life?

After deliberately narrowly losing to Nongyu, Xu Lin sat cross-legged and asked a question.

Upon hearing this, the elegant Nongyu was taken aback, and after opening her mouth for a long time, she was unable to utter a complete sentence.

She hadn't thought about this question before.

She would be content if Xu Lin, Sister Zi Nu, and her mother were all safe and sound.

"Life is about experiences."

Aren't you curious about the YiBao Conference?

Xu Lin said loudly.

Nongyu pursed her lips, indicating that she was somewhat curious.

However, she did not entirely agree with Xu Lin's statement that life is about experiencing things.

Burning, killing, raping, and looting are also experiences; shouldn't everyone try them at least once in their lifetime?

Many people have also laid hands on their adoptive mothers and godbrothers. Is it really worth trying such a thing?
Thinking of this, Nongyu's cheeks flushed slightly. She coughed twice and shook her head. What was she thinking about?

It's all Xu Lin's fault for insisting on saying that life is about experiences!
She's probably going to have one of those weird dreams again tonight!

Upon realizing this, Nongyu suddenly got up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Xu Lin was completely puzzled when he saw this.

He just said, "Life is about experiences," and why did Nongyu blush?

……

Two days later.

Mo Family Mechanical City.

Yan Dan was very respectful and gradually gained the trust of Master Ban, Master Xu, and others.

Although Six-Fingered Black Knight never said he would pass the position of Grand Master to Yan Dan, Yan Dan was already prepared to become the next Grand Master of the Mohist School.

The Mo Family's mechanical city is not only well-hidden, but also easy to defend and difficult to attack. With nearly ten thousand Mo Family disciples scattered across various countries, if they can all be put to use, what is there to worry about in achieving great things?

Master Ban's mechanical skills have reached a state of perfection. If they can be used by the Yan Kingdom, what fear is there of the mechanical beasts of the tyrannical Qin?

Master Xu's sword-making skills have also reached a state of perfection. With him forging weapons for the generals of Yan, how could Yan not rise to prominence?
