Chapter 365 Passage

The palace was empty. When Yan Dan returned to his home from the court, all he felt was a sense of desolation.

As the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom, there are too many things that he cannot decide under one person in the Yan Kingdom.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

In front of Yan Dan, a six-fingered black man in a black robe was standing in front of him. No one noticed him sneaking into the huge Prince's Mansion.

"Black Man!"

"Your Highness seems to be in trouble."

Yan Dan and the Six-fingered Black Man sat opposite each other. Yan Dan, who had just come down from the Yan Kingdom's court, was still feeling melancholy at this moment.

"Up to now, Lord Yan Chun is still in the court, talking about Chen Lianqin's benefits. But my father has not seen the benefits at all, and is confused by the treasures of gold and silver."

"There are many grievances among the seven kingdoms. For hundreds of years, there have been constant disputes. Alliances and alliances are almost constantly being staged. And Qin's strategy of alliances and alliances has always been unfavorable. Does your Highness know why?"

Yan Dan was anxious, but she still observed the etiquette.

"Can you please give me some advice?"

"The stronger the stronger, the weaker will rely on the strong to defend. For Yan Qi, the biggest threat in front of them is not Qin, but the surrounding princes who are watching eagerly. If Zhao loses land to Qin, it will seize it from Yan. To solve the problem The disputes in the land of Yan and Zhao need an opportunity."

"But where is this opportunity?"

Yan Dan has always wanted to ease the relationship between Yan and Zhao, but the bad relationship between the two countries has been deeply torn since Yan betrayed its alliance with Zhao. Over the years, Yan State has always taken advantage of Zhao State's crisis to stab Zhao State in the back. But every time he stabbed a knife, most of them failed miserably.

The military strength of the Zhao army was on par with that of the Qin army. Both the generals and the troops were stronger than those of Yan. In many battles, they always defeated more with less.

Because of this, the hatred between the two countries is getting deeper and deeper. The State of Qin took advantage of the distrust between Yan and Zhao to benefit every time. It even gained dozens of cities from Yan and Zhao with just a few words.

"In Wei!"

Yan Dan looked at the Six-fingered Black Man. He seemed to know what to do, but he didn't say it. The Mo family has always been open-minded and non-aggressive, and the Six-fingered Black Man was never willing to get involved in these matters, but only gave hints.

"By the way, who is the envoy of Qin?"

"It is said that it is Zhao Shuang, Lord of Hanyang, but only the deputy envoy entered the Yan Kingdom, and there was no trace of him."

The six-fingered black man's hand that was originally holding the wine glass paused briefly, and then drank it.

Yan Dan noticed this abnormality and asked tentatively.

"Do you know this Lord Hanyang?"

The Six-Fingered Black Man saw Yan Dan's probing intentions, but did not react too much. Instead, he asked.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Juzi, the commander-in-chief has a close relationship with Lord Hanyang. What is the relationship between them?"

"Your Highness, there are some things that you have to discover and do by yourself after all. Others can't help you. Just like you are the prince of the Yan Kingdom, and what happens to the Yan Kingdom ultimately depends on your decision."

After finishing speaking, he drank all the wine in the glass, and the six-fingered black man stood up with Mo Mei in hand and bowed.

"Farewell!"

Yan Dan thought about the words of the six-fingered black man, and finally shook his head and sighed slightly.

"Wei State?"

After saying that, Yan Dan seemed to have thought of something, and immediately stood up and gave orders to the servants in the mansion.

"Summon the ministers from the Crown Prince's residence. I want to discuss important matters."

"promise!"

Longxi.

The vast grassland stretches for hundreds of miles, extending down from the foothills, with no end as far as the eye can see.

Among the Qiang tribe, in a dark tent, a group of people surrounded a witch, waiting for the result.

A touch.

The witch threw the spices in her hand into the charcoal basin, and then she saw a ball of flames rising and twisting into a strange shape. What seemed to be contained in it?

The witch suddenly opened her eyes wide and shouted urgently, which frightened the Qiang leader in the tent to tremble.

"Disaster! Disaster! Disaster is coming!"

Then, the witch seemed to be twitching all over. When the flames disappeared, her whole body seemed to be emptied and she fell to the ground.

"Sacrifice, what happened? Where did the disaster come from?"

"In the city of the west, the son of Guifang from a distant foreign land, the pale disaster."

All the Qiang leaders were startled and suspicious, Xi Mian?

Could it be that he is talking about Master Mokdu? He has the blood of Guifang and is related to Da Yueshi.

"Master Sacrifice, what will happen?"

Everyone has no idea what will happen?

The witch shook her head.

"Only these are shown in the foreshadowing, and I don't know much more. You go down, I want to rest."

When all the Qiang leaders left uneasily, the witch closed her eyes.

When the moonlight went down, she slowly left her tent and sneaked into the mountains.

The breeze blew through the pine trees, and a calm and handsome man clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the night scene in front of him, and waited. The man's clothes were completely different from those of the Qiang people around him, but when the witch came behind him, she spoke extremely fluent Qin Mandarin.

"Lord Shun, what you told me has been done. What should I do next?"

"Don't be anxious. Mokdu has three thousand elite soldiers and several cities. Even if these Qiang people have doubts in their hearts, they dare not take any action against them. Only when their fear and worry reach a certain level will they be allowed to Turn your back on Mokdu.”

"promise!"

"Something's wrong!"

Mokdu watched his teacher walk into his residence with a sad face and chuckled.

"What's the matter, teacher?"

Tudor's uneasiness stemmed from the very neglectful attitude he received not long ago from the Qiang tribe who were dependent on them towards their envoys who collected supplies.

Tudor told Mokdu, but the other party laughed it off.

"The Qiang people are greedy. They have defaulted on supplies in the past, so there is nothing to worry about. I will send another five hundred warriors to collect money on another day to see if they will pay."

Mokdu owns several cities on the border. Although they are small, they do not need to be exposed to wind or sun. They have large areas of pasture and even cultivated land, and have a stable income.

Elite soldiers are stationed in the city, possessing weapons and armor far superior to those of the surrounding tribes, giving them an overwhelming force advantage.

The nomadic tribes nearby need to pay him certain supplies in order to make a living by grazing on the grass and survive under the order maintained by Mokdu.

"Teacher, put this matter aside. There is another big thing in front of you."

"Are you talking about the trade between the Dayue clan and Qin?"

"I sent spies to investigate. If the border market is really opened, my territory will become a must-pass for caravans. At that time, we can set up a pass and make a lot of money."

"But will this offend Da Yueshi?"

"I'm already angry with Da Xihou of Da Yuezhi. As long as I give him benefits, will I not make any money?"

"That's good!"
