Chapter 248 Thorough

The spring rain continued, and Xinzheng was covered with rain. The waves were rolling on the lake behind the Mohist Guild Hall, and there was no peace in the past.

Zhao Shuang was sitting in the backyard room, with a chill on the wooden floor.

The fire was slightly hot, with a scarlet luster, and traces of heat emerged from the bronze furnace mouth, dispelling the chill.

"Commander, Qin Wuyang and Jing Ke are here."

Zhao Shuang opened his eyes, seemingly surprised.

Although the Mo family looks peaceful now, there are already cracks inside.

Most of the emerging Mohist forces in the land of Qin and Chu were promoted by Zhao Shuang. They maintained a certain distance from Guancheng and were clearly separated from the Mohist forces in the lands of Yan and Zhao.

At this time, Qin Wuyang and Jing Ke were not in Guancheng, could they?

While Zhao Shuang was thinking, there were footsteps outside the door.

Qin Wuyang and Jing Ke were both dressed in cloth, holding swords in their hands, and between them was a man who was guarding his body without any trace of trace.

The man lifted his hood and revealed his face. It was Yan Dan, the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhao Shuang really never thought that Yan Dan would appear in front of him like this.

The existence of Yan Dan is actually not a secret among the top leaders of the Mohist family, but to the outside world, few people can notice that the person who is hidden in the darkness and is far away from a huge river and lake power will be the Yan State. Prince.

But on the surface, Yan Dan actually has little connection with the Mohist family.

"Great Commander!"

Yan Dan nodded slightly and looked at the surrounding scenery.

"I heard that the predecessor of this guild hall was the famous Zilan Pavilion in Xinzheng. Judging from the layout, the former owner of this place, although he was in trouble, was indeed Huizhilanxin."

After a brief compliment, Yan Dan got down to business when he saw that Zhao Shuang was indifferent.

"There are rumors in the world that the commander-in-chief is going to fight with the Xiongnu leader to test his archery skills. I wonder if this is possible?"

"indeed!"

When Zhao Shuang's answer came, Yan Dan paused slightly and made a request.

"I wonder if the commander-in-chief can stop this competition?"

"Why?"

Zhao Shuang was a little surprised. Yan Dan's request was really strange.

"As far as the Yan State is concerned, the Donghu are a powerful enemy in the north, and the Xiongnu can contain their power. Therefore, a thousand war horses will weaken the Xiongnu's combat power."

"Your Highness is afraid that Donghu will take the opportunity to attack the Xiongnu?"

Yan Dan shook his head, but the answer he gave was completely the opposite.

"No, on the contrary, I am worried that when the Xiongnu's strength is damaged, they will take risks and plunder Donghu. This will change the situation on the border and cause turmoil."

"Why did His Highness say that?"

"Donghu was first defeated by our country's general Qin Kai, and then by Li Mu. The East Hu declined for a long time, and the Xiongnu became prosperous. It is not uncommon for the Hu tribes to merge with each other. Touman is not an easy character to deal with. The nature of the Hu people will change once If you suffer a loss, you will go crazy to make up for it from others.”

When he said this, Yan Dan's expression changed and his tone was very sincere.

"Personally, I don't want the Xiongnu to move their main force from Henan to Monan. In this way, the Qin State will have one less layer of restraint, and will use its troops more unscrupulously."

The Hu tribes are nomadic and have fixed grassland areas, but they will migrate to other places based on other factors.

These factors may be due to the climate or water sources, but they are mostly due to the military needs of the upper class of the Xiongnu.

Yan Dan spoke very sincerely and had no intention of hiding anything.

"What Your Highness said is indeed possible. However, this matter is difficult to handle. It is not me who is causing trouble, but the Hun Touman who must compete with me."

Zhao Shuang shook his head slightly. He thought Yan Dan would be entangled, but he quickly gave up.

Yan Dan nodded, sighed slightly, and took a box from Jing Ke's hand.

"There are three mysterious crystal arrowheads here, which were obtained by Jing Ke. They may be helpful to the commander-in-chief."

Zhao Shuang glanced at Yan Dan and then at Jing Ke, who seemed to have no objection.

"In that case, I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince and Jing Ke for their kindness."

"Members of the Mohist family should help each other. Although the commander-in-chief and I have different views on the world, gentlemen are harmonious but different. After all, it is difficult to say what the world will be like in the future."

"I heard that His Royal Highness is raising horses recently?"

Zhao Shuang said softly, Yan Dan's expression did not change much, but Qin Wuyang behind him had a strange expression.

They raised the horses in secret and were very careful. Qin Wuyang was surprised, how did the commander know.

However, Zhao Shuang did not intend to resolve Qin Wuyang's doubts.

"If His Highness the Crown Prince does not give up, the Mo family still has a hundred horses in the horse farm in South Korea. Although they are not considered good horses, they can still be driven."

"In this case, Dan is being disrespectful."

Yan Dan talked with Zhao Shuang, and the three of them left quickly.

Zhao Shuang smiled when he saw that Yan Dan had left these three Xuanjing arrowheads.

"I really underestimated him before."

Yan Dan is much more difficult to deal with than Zhao Shuang imagined.

A layer of flames ignited from the house, and Zhao Shuang glanced at the woman who walked out of the flames.

"You come to my place more and more often, aren't you afraid that others will see you?"

Concubine Yan asked with a nonchalant look on her face.

"Why, are you afraid that the disciples of the Mo family will see that you, a dignified commander, get so close to a demon girl from the Yin Yang family and lose your face?"

"That's not true."

"snort!"

Feeling Zhao Shuang's perfunctory attitude, Concubine Yan snorted lightly. She glanced at the Xuanjing arrowhead in the box and was a little surprised.

"Such a precious thing is rare! However, it has no use anymore."

Zhao Shuang's heart twitched, feeling that Concubine Yan's words had profound meaning.

"What do you mean?"

"I have already dealt with the Hun leader named Touman and his men."

Concubine Yan clapped her hands, held her head high, and looked like she was begging for praise.

"You're not going to kill them all, are you?"

"Am I that stupid? If they die, everyone will suspect you. Besides, what about the one thousand war horses?"

"Then you are?"

"I put the Yin Yang family's secret medicine in their food. There is no danger to their lives. Outsiders can't tell. They will become very weak and their strength will be reduced by half. By then, let alone draw the bow, they will just pick up the bow and arrow. It will become very difficult. If you want to win, it will be easy."

"You are so thoughtful for me." Zhao Shuang twitched his eyebrows, "But have you ever thought that the Huns might just run away if the situation is bad."

"Will their methods be so cruel?"

Seeing Concubine Yan's confused look, Zhao Shuang didn't know how to answer for a while.

Finally, he sighed, hurried out of the house, and gave an order.

"Go to the Huns' place quickly and copy whatever you can!"
