Chapter 77: Yan Dan's Choice, Wei Wuji's Comments
A carriage was parked on the side of the road, with guards scattered in a circle around it.

The anger and murderous intent emanating from the carriage made the guards subconsciously lower their heads slightly in response.

In the carriage, Yan Dan, who had already woken up, had a gloomy face, which made his slightly pale face look even more gloomy.

He hated himself for not being able to judge people.

He hated Ying Zifei's plot against him even more.

When he thought about how Ying Zifei was arranging every step of his way forward, he couldn't stop the blood boiling.

How ridiculous would the puppet-like appearance be in Ying Zifei's eyes?
His fingertips pinched the palm of his hand and blood dripped, but Yan Dan seemed unaware.

Yingzi is not hateful!
That shadow is even more hateful!

Thinking of the results of his people's investigation into Shadow, Yan Dan felt the urge to kill someone.

Blind and incompetent.

Extremely incompetent.

If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been manipulated like a puppet by Ying Zifei.

The more Yan Dan thought about it, the more he couldn't suppress his murderous intent, and he didn't want to suppress it at this moment.

Yan Dan wants to kill that guy Shadow.

Yan Dan is going to take revenge on that guy Ying Zifei now.

A plot had caused Yan Dan's pride to be trampled on the ground and stepped on harshly.

Yan Dan's face hurts so much now, it really hurts.

The pain was so deep that it penetrated his heart and soul. He had already put Ying Zifei on the list of people to be killed.

Only death can allow Yan Dan to regain the pride that Ying Zifei had trampled on.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling a long sigh, Yan Dan, with a fierce gleam in his eyes, ordered his men to turn around. He would not return to the capital, he wanted to destroy Ying Zifei's plan.

Yan Chunjun's place is where Yan Dan should go at this time.

The guards followed the order, and the imperial physician, unable to persuade them any more, simply gave up, and the group turned to another direction.

As the group's backs were about to disappear, a man walked over and looked in the direction where Yan Dan and his group were leaving, with a bitter look on his face.

"Six-fingered Black Knight, Six-fingered Black Knight, I shouldn't have agreed to your request."

The old man felt that he really regretted not being able to resist the tempting deal. Ever since he promised the Mohist leader Six-Fingered Black Knight to secretly protect Yan Dan, he has used disguises to disguise himself as different people to protect Yan Dan.

I thought that between Yan Dan and Ying Zifei, Yan Dan would be the first to take action.

Now the facts tell him that he was wrong, extremely wrong.

Before Ying Zifei showed up, he had already dealt Yan Dan a heavy blow, the kind that could most effectively break the mind.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight wanted Yan Dan to go for training. Now, Ying Zifei, the "teacher", is really dedicated and has taught Yan Dan a good lesson.

The old man had no idea whether Yan Dan could gain anything from this lesson.

But he was very sure of one thing, that is, after this lesson, Yan Dan's murderous intent towards Ying Zifei had reached its peak.

"This job is not easy."

The old man muttered with a sad face. He did not underestimate Yan Dan's murderous intention towards Ying Zifei at this moment, nor did he dare to underestimate Ying Zifei's scheming and strength.

This is fucking true. Yan Dan does have a fatal weakness because of what he is thinking. He may treat Yan Dan as a puppet. Ying Zifei, that kid, is not a simple guy.

The old man didn't believe at all that Yan Dan would have a response plan if Ying Zifei's shadow was exposed.

"Six-fingered Black Knight, Six-fingered Black Knight, I'll be a dog if I do business with you next time."

The old man spat, and although he was unhappy, he quickly followed.

……

Yan Dan entered the military camp of Yan Chunjun as a military supervisor.

Even though Yan Chunjun disliked Yan Dan and didn't want him to come over, rules were rules. If he dared to stop Yan Dan at this time, Yan Dan would inevitably take the opportunity to cause trouble.

"Prince, I heard that your old illness has relapsed. Why don't you return to the capital to recuperate?"

Yan Chunjun came up and joked that he already knew that Yan Dan had vomited blood and fainted.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Yanchun. As a military supervisor, I should fight for my country. There is no reason for me to leave just because of a minor injury."

Yan Dan suppressed his displeasure and exchanged pleasantries with Yan Chunjun. He glanced at the generals in the military tent and saw some unfamiliar faces that made Yan Dan think.

"Lord Yanchun, Dan is the crown prince of Yan State, and he knows the names of the generals in our army, but he can't recognize these few. Is Dan derelict in his duty?"

At this moment, Yan Dan was extremely certain that these people were Ying Zifei's men.

Wang Jian and his men did not show any change in expression. At this moment, Yan Chunjun laughed and said, "Prince, these people are the heroes who fought to protect me when I was assassinated by Zhao's secret agents."

"They have made some contributions in the battle some time ago. They should be promoted as a reward and rewarded for their meritorious service. What do you think, Prince?"

Yan Chunjun was not afraid of being exposed at all when he lied with his eyes open. Under the arrangement of Heibingtai, the contact between Wang Jian and Yan Chunjun was almost flawless.

Those who knew their identities now were either Yan Chunjun’s confidants or people from a faction with whom he had a very good relationship.

For these people, the most important thing is to make achievements. Wang Jian and his people don't want any credit. Everyone just takes what they need.

As for choosing to expose it? Haha, not to mention that Yan Chunjun's deterrence is enough to shut these people up, they will also expose this matter in order to prevent their own contributions from being erased.

When the war is over and Wang Jian and his men leave, Yan Chunjun can simply direct and act out a scene in which they are assassinated to end the story perfectly.

The battlefield is so dangerous, is it strange if people die?

It's just a pity that some people can't get the king's award. Yan Dan almost roared at this time, but seeing that everyone was staring at him, he could only smile and said: "If you have made a contribution, you should be rewarded."

"You have fought for the country. This prince will definitely write to my father to ask for credit for you."

"Thank you, Prince."

Wang Jian and the others stood up and bowed. At this moment, they felt it was extremely interesting. It was just as Zhen'an Marquis Ying Zifei said, this kind of experience might only happen once.

After a few polite words, Yan Dan wanted to continue the conversation, but Yan Chunjun sent him away, saying that military matters were more important.

He would not keep Yan Dan here, otherwise, if Wang Jian and his men made contributions, Yan Dan would definitely get a share of the profits. For Yan Chunjun, this was something he could not tolerate.

Yan Dan also knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long. He and Yan Chunjun pretended to be confused on the surface, but deep down, they both knew that once they got the chance, they would defeat the other.

As a military supervisor, Yan Dan began to doubt his safety in this place.

More importantly, now that he has confirmed some things, he must leave and mobilize his own people to get rid of these people.

After Yan Dan left, Yan Chunjun immediately wrote a memorial and had it sent quickly to Jicheng.

Your "old illness" relapsed, and the commander-in-chief kindly let you return to the capital to recuperate, but you, Yan Dan, wandered around in a sickly state. Are you really working hard for the country? Or are you trying to take advantage of the opportunity to win people's hearts or something?

Yan Chunjun, who saw through the king's thoughts and fears, knew that this memorial would definitely work. As for when it would work, it depended on when Yan Dan would do something that would displease the king.

"My prince, you have never understood that your father's mind and ability are not the stage for you to rule."

Muttering something, Yan Chunjun smiled sarcastically, and then burst into laughter.

Isn't power meant to facilitate one's own enjoyment?

If you, Yan Dan, dare to prevent me from enjoying myself in peace, then I will also prevent you from doing anything.

In this world, not everyone can stir up trouble by jumping out.

How many people can stand firmly on that bright and beautiful platform?

……

Yan Dan used the extremely fast speed to send the messages to gather the Mohist knights and the Jianghu knights and swordsmen. Since the open method did not work, he would resort to a secret assassination.

"What a crazy guy.", In the flowing water and the drifting smoke, it is hard for people to be at peace.

Wei Wuji listened to the sound of flowing water and saw the mist rising in the distance. He said to the people beside him: "People whose minds are controlled by fear and hatred are indeed crazy."

"At this point, I really have to underestimate Yan Dan."

The man beside him seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked: "Is it because Yan Dan is unscrupulous?"

"Yes!" Wei Wuji nodded and sighed: "At this time, it is no longer the strategy of encircling and capturing as he and Pang Nuan had agreed upon. He is very clear about this."

"He also knows that if there is chaos on Yan Chunjun's side at this time, it will implicate Ju Xing's main force."

As he spoke, Wei Wuji looked at him with a carefree look in his eyes and said with an inexplicable emotion: "Look, he clearly knew it, but he still chose to take action."

"This is a man who seeks to solve the troubles he sees and the fears he has in his heart, regardless of the consequences."

"If such a person follows every step smoothly and someone helps him finish the job, the hidden danger can be suppressed."

"But if no one helps him solve the follow-up problems, his eagerness to do whatever it takes will backfire on him, and he won't be able to bear the cost."

The man next to him listened and said, "Maybe he thinks that because he has a connection with Pang Nuan, if the situation is really unfavorable to Yan State, Pang Nuan will stop."

"Go and bet on this possibility?" Wei Wuji laughed and said, "Doesn't he think that since Ying Zifei has intervened and the situation is out of control, he can only adapt to the situation."

"If you really want to win, there are still tricks. Is it brave or crazy to gamble on this possibility?"

The man next to him also nodded slightly. As a prince of a country, he really couldn't make such a bet easily.

"If you were for him, how would you break the impasse?" the man next to him showed some interest and asked.

Wei Wuji laughed, his eyes sparkling, and said: "If I were him, I would submit three petitions to the palace of Jicheng to praise Yan Chunjun for defeating the enemy in one battle and making great contributions to the country."

"Then arrange for people in Jicheng to publicize Yan Chunjun's achievements and let the people celebrate for him."

"Haha, Yan Chunjun understands King Yan very well, but King Yan may not tolerate Yan Chunjun's reputation for being virtuous."

"A greedy Yan Chunjun who is shunned by the people is the best Yan Chunjun in the eyes of King Yan."

"I, Wei Wuji, am not the best example?"

The man nodded again. This was indeed a solution. Wei Wuji then said, "As long as the King of Yan becomes suspicious, Yan Dan can make a report and enter the military camp of Lord Yan Chun under the pretext of observing and learning. The King of Yan will certainly agree."

"Haha, the King of Yan will not only agree, but will also give Yan Dan some real power." The man next to him said along with Wei Wuji's words. Wei Wuji nodded and said: "With real power, it will be easy for Yan Dan to do something."

"Unfortunately, in his eyes, the most direct method is assassination."

"Although this method seems to be the most convenient, it is also the most difficult to implement."

The man beside him touched his chin, thought for a moment and asked, "In that case, do you still want to borrow his hand to play a game against Ying Zifei?"

"Why not?" Wei Wuji raised the corner of his mouth slightly and chuckled: "Although I don't know if Ying Zifei has any backup plan now, I already have a backup plan."

"If the people who are now in Lord Yanchun's camp can be killed, I think something interesting will happen in Qin."

"If someone has such military knowledge, he must be a young and vigorous faction in the Qin army that is about to emerge or has already emerged. The death of such a person will weaken the Qin state."

Wei Wuji lifted the fishing rod, and the fish was struggling in mid-air. He laughed and said, "Since Yan Dan does not care about the consequences, why should I, Wei Wuji, hold back?"

"Given the current situation, Pang Nuan's plan to force Yan may really require a big victory."

"He Yingzi must be able to see what Yan Chunjun and others want and take advantage of the cooperation, so why can't we do the same?"

"If you really want to force it, you can send troops to beat Yan once again and then force it to join the coalition. Anyway, the main forces of this coalition can only be Chu, Wei, and Zhao. Yan and Han are included because of their current national strength and momentum."
