Chapter 67: Yan Dan and the Six-Fingered Black Knight

"What a vigilant boy." In a mansion in Handan City, Pang Nuan said leisurely and sighed with dissatisfaction.

He made the decision to surround and kill Ying Zifei after learning about some actions Li Mu had taken after returning to the border.

It is obvious that Wu'an Jun Li Mu was also persuaded by Ying Zifei to have certain thoughts.

For Pang Nuan, he did not doubt Li Mu's loyalty to the State of Zhao, but he was more worried that some court officials in the court would be seduced and used by Ying Zifei, and would do something that would make things get out of control.

The stability of the Zhao court is the environment that Pang Nuan needs. If he is caught up in internal strife, how can he promote the alliance?

It is also because of this that Pang Nuan's murderous intention towards Ying Zifei has reached its extreme. That kid is a troublemaker. What he says and does always makes some people deviate from their track unknowingly.

"General, do we still want to continue searching for his whereabouts?" the confidant asked. Ying Zifei was too alert and left. It would not be easy to surround and kill him without the army.

"Keep investigating." Pang Nuan's eyes showed determination and murderous intent, and he said coldly: "The more alert he is, the more I will be wary of him."

"You have people spread the word that the Chiyou Sword has a great secret, and obtaining it can greatly increase one's strength."

"Make up more mysterious stories. Only when we can attract the attention of some people in the martial arts world, can we be helpful."

The confidant agreed and turned to leave. Pang Nuan looked at the letter in his hand leisurely, then he exerted his internal strength and shattered the letter into pieces.

"You want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, so what if I'm just this knife?"

……

In the capital of Yan State, in the prince's mansion, the prince Yan Dan, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a handsome face, looked like a graceful young man. At this time, he was standing in front of the Mohist leader, the Six-Fingered Black Knight, and felt uneasy.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight was feeling helpless about some of Yan Dan's actions at this moment, especially since Yan Dan had secretly and quickly gathered some rangers this time. He just felt a headache.

"Dan, your impatience will hurt you." The Six-Fingered Black Knight said slowly. He accepted Yan Dan as his disciple because he saw this guy's courage and determination to take on responsibilities. But now, he discovered that in addition to Yan Dan's outstanding advantages, he also had fatal shortcomings.

Being eager for quick success and instant benefits, and achieving one's goals without considering the dangerous consequences.

Last time, he helped Yan Dan solve some hidden dangers, but this time, in order to expand the available forces in his hands, Yan Dan did not care and began to recruit rangers other than the Mohist rangers.

Despite repeated reminders and instructions, Yan Dan was still so eager for quick success, and the Six-Fingered Black Knight felt exhausted.

Yan Dan bowed and explained: "Teacher, most of the people in the Yan court are greedy and greedy. The country's strength has declined to this point. Dan can't sleep every night."

"Now that all parties are suppressing me as the crown prince, I have no chance to take power. At this moment, I have no choice but to find another way. When the time comes, I will clear the court of evil spirits and strengthen the national strength of Yan."

There was an uncontrollable urgency in his words, and murderous intent in his eyes.

The six-fingered black knight had a complicated look on his face and sighed, "Dan, you are the prince of Yan State. Although the ranger forces can help you, it is not the right way for you to cultivate your reputation."

"There should be rules for fighting in the court. Dan, if you break the rules, you will only be suppressed and excluded by all forces in Yan State."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight thought that Yan Dan's current path was too deviant. If Yan Dan really wanted to use the ranger as a knife to carry out assassination, once he was exposed, he would only be rejected by all parties in the Yan court.

The fighting in the martial arts world has its own rules.

The struggles in the court also have their own rules.

Before you have the ability to make rules, you must integrate into the rules and make use of them.

Yan Dan remained silent, and subconsciously clenched his hands into fists under his robe.

His teacher, Six-Fingered Black Knight, had repeatedly warned him that he was too eager for quick success. Yan Dan also knew how serious the consequences would be if he made a mistake, but in the end, he could not suppress his eagerness.

His anxiety was because the national strength of Yan State was too weak.

His anxiety came from the fact that they were both hostages in Zhao, but now Ying Zheng was the King of Qin and he was the Crown Prince of Yan.

His anxiety lay in the fact that King Ying Zheng of Qin had made steady progress in stabilizing the political situation in the Qin State, while he, Yan Dan, was now trapped in the prince's residence and could do little.

Everything was forcing him to speed up.

In this turbulent era, Yan Dan knew very well that if he was one step slower, he would still have a chance to catch his breath; if he was two steps slower, the crisis would come; if he was even slower, the country would be in danger of collapse.

The current situation and circumstances forced him to subconsciously ignore some things and just think about moving forward.

Faster, faster!
Suppressing his thoughts and letting out a breath, Yan Dan said: "Teacher, if Dan wants to achieve something, he must try to accumulate strength."

"Now I am gathering more rangers to eliminate evil and deter scoundrels."

"It's better to have a knife hanging over some people's heads than to let them do whatever they want."

Hearing this, the Six-Fingered Black Knight sighed again. He knew that Yan Dan had this intention. Yan Dan had the title of crown prince and could indeed use this method to intimidate some people.

It would be better if this guy acted more cautiously.

Thinking this in his mind, the Six-Fingered Black Knight shook his head subconsciously, feeling that he was being too demanding of perfection.

"Dan, go and handle it yourself." The Six-Fingered Black Knight knew that he was too eager to make Yan Dan grow up quickly. If he helped him finish the mess again and again, it would only blind Yan Dan's vision. At this time, it was time to leave Yan State.

Yan Dan passed the test but he was not happy at all. He seemed to have sensed something about his teacher's intentions.

"Teacher, are you leaving?"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight nodded and said, "You have been stranded in Yan State for a long time. Now that I have finished teaching you the Mohist School's mental method, it is time to leave."

"When your realm reaches a higher level, I will take you into the Mo family mechanical city and teach you the subsequent mental methods."

"Dan, thank you, teacher." Yan Dan bowed and stood up reluctantly, "Teacher, I will practice the Mohist philosophy and let the people of Yan live a good life."

The six-fingered black knight nodded, stood up and said to Yan Dan: "Dan, the current situation in the world is between Yan and Zhao."

"As the ruler of the Black Ice Platform of Qin, Ying Zifei will definitely get involved in this situation."

"When fighting him, you must be extra careful. His strength should not be underestimated."

Yan Dan nodded seriously to show that he understood. The more rumors about Ying Zifei there were, the more he dared not to take them lightly.

After giving a few more instructions, the Six-Fingered Black Knight left. After he left, Yan Dan looked at his back with a complicated expression.

"The Mohist Mechanical City? If I can get all the help from the Mohist, I will be able to realize my ambitions."

Muttering something, Yan Dan turned and left. He was secretly investigating some people in Yan Chunjun's faction. Now that the evidence was solid, he should prepare to take action.

First eliminate the minions, then destroy the great evil, and revive the State of Yan, which is what Yan Dan wishes for.

……

"You leaving now is not a good time for Yan Dan to gain experience."

Three streets away from Prince Yan Dan’s residence, in an inn, inside a room, the innkeeper spoke with a worried look in his eyes.

"So I came to find you." The Six-Fingered Black Knight looked at the man, smiled and said.

"You want me to protect him secretly?" The innkeeper's eyebrows jumped, and then he shook his head like a rattle and said, "You want to train your apprentice, but you want me to put myself in danger. I won't do it."

The man said this with an expression that he refused to participate. The Six-Fingered Black Knight smiled and said slowly: "How about I help you find the God-Blinding Gu?"

The three words "bewitching Gu" immediately attracted this person's attention. When he reacted, he looked conflicted.

After pacing back and forth in the room for a while, he sat down and said somewhat disappointedly: "You really have me in your hands. Okay, I agree."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight smiled happily and said, "Don't worry, I have already obtained accurate information. In half a year at most, the God-Bending Gu will be delivered to you."

"Once you have solved your own problems, you won't have to live in seclusion here and become a mercenary innkeeper."

The innkeeper rolled his eyes and snorted, "Let me make it clear first, I can protect him, but I will never listen to his orders."

"You, my disciple, are so impatient that you don't think about the consequences. Especially since his opponent this time is Ying Zifei. I don't want to become a dead man before I solve my own problems."

Hearing this, the smile on Six-Fingered Black Knight's face faded, and he looked at the man and asked seriously, "Are you worried that he wants to take this opportunity to hunt down Ying Zifei?"

The innkeeper looked at the six-fingered black knight with a playful look in his eyes, and laughed: "Master, you really didn't realize that your disciple has already started to have a demon in his heart."

"After he returned to Yan, he initially behaved like a wise prince, but when the situation in Qin changed, he could no longer control his mind."

"After Qin State launched the paper, he sped up the pace of recruiting Mohist Rangers. After he became your disciple, his pace was even faster because of your help in finishing the job."

At this point, the innkeeper looked at him with a long and meaningful look, "Sir, don't you realize that Yan Dan's various actions are actually the manifestation of his inner desire to combine the abilities of Qin King Ying Zheng and the talents of Black Ice Platform ruler Ying Zifei into one?"

"Perhaps he has not realized that he is trying to imitate the actions of Qin King Ying Zheng, and is also developing an intelligence network similar to the Black Ice Platform based on Ying Zifei's template."

"A man who keeps company with bad people will be corrupted; a bystander will see things more clearly. I am not blind, and I can see some signs."

"Once he starts to compete with Ying Zifei, will he go to great lengths to eliminate certain people?"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight was only terrified at this moment. He really hadn't discovered this problem. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Although I believe in your vision, does he really have such an obsession deep in his heart?"

The innkeeper shook his head and looked at the six-fingered black knight and said, "This problem can only be solved by you or him."

"Old buddy, in this round, you'd better pray that Ying Zifei doesn't have murderous intentions towards Yan Dan. Otherwise, this round will not be a training, but a cruel blow."

Upon hearing this, the Six-Fingered Black Knight hesitated for a moment. If it came to ruthlessness, that guy Ying Zifei was no less cruel.

If the whetstone breaks the sword, it would not be a training for Yan Dan.

After thinking for a while, the Six-Fingered Black Knight made a decision and said, "The more dangerous the situation is, the more likely it is to wake him up. Old friend, I'll trouble you to take more care of him this time."
