The most intelligent general in the world

Chapter 221 Chess Pieces

"Goodbye!" Yan Dan bowed lightly, with a look of disappointment on his face, and turned to leave the suite in the luxury apartment.

Da Tiechui stood there, looking confused, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. Although he did not fully understand the conversation between Zhang Liang and Yan Dan, he knew that these were not things he should intervene in, let alone things he could control.

"Wait a moment!" Zhang Liang suddenly said.

"Hmm..." Da Tiechui was startled and found that Zhang Liang did not speak to him, so he looked at Yan Dan who was about to leave.

Yan Dan turned around and looked at Zhang Liang, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Is Jing Ke in Yan State?" Zhang Liang asked directly.

"Jing Ke?" There was a strange light flashing in Yan Dan's eyes.

"You should be familiar with him. If Jing Ke is in Yan State, I would like to meet him!" Zhang Liang said calmly.

“Okay, I will try my best to investigate Jing Ke’s whereabouts and arrange for him to meet you as soon as possible!” Yan Dan bowed politely and left quickly.

Although his goal was not achieved, Zhang Liang asked him to help find Jing Ke, which was good news for Yan Dan. At least it showed that Zhang Liang did not hold a grudge against him because of the previous misunderstanding.

Yan Dan couldn't help but recall his plan for Jing Ke, and felt quite hesitant.

"Should we still carry out that plan?"

There are not many chess pieces to deal with Zhang Liang, and Jing Ke is one of them; similarly, there are not many chess pieces to deal with Jing Ke, and Gongsun Liji is one of them.

Yan Dan had already devised a plan. He planned to present Gongsun Li Ji to Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng through special means, and then lure Jing Ke to assassinate him. Regardless of success or failure, Zhang Liang would develop a disgust for Ying Zheng.

This plan took human nature to its extreme. As long as the first step was successful, Yan Dan wouldn't have to worry about anything else. It was simple, perfect, and impeccable!

However, after meeting Zhang Liang, this plan, which he had only conceived in his mind but had never told anyone about, let alone had time to implement, made him feel hesitant, as if Zhang Liang had seen through his intentions.

"What should I do?" Yan Dan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Zhang Liang's casual words caused Yan Dan to interpret them in many ways, which turned into deep fear. He no longer dared to act rashly on his plans.

Yan Dan did not deny that his plan had a very high chance of success, but he knew better that if he followed the original plan, whether Jing Ke succeeded or failed, it would ultimately be blamed on him.

To other people, Yan Dan would present facts and reason with them, but he knew very well that people like Zhang Liang would not act based on evidence, and his reasoning would not be able to convince Zhang Liang.

Some people follow the rules, some people go beyond the rules, Zhang Liang belongs to the latter.

However, Zhang Liang's deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and still made Yan Dan feel fearful. Even though he knew it was just a thought that flashed through his mind and could not be easily noticed by others, he still felt uneasy.

Yan Dan was hesitating and thinking, and didn't notice the big hammer following him.

After a while, when Yan Dan noticed the big hammer, they had already walked a long way.

Da Tiechui followed Yan Dan silently. Although this was his first time meeting him, he had a good impression of Yan Dan. At least in Da Tiechui's opinion, Yan Dan was determined to revitalize the State of Yan, and he was not like other princes and nobles who bullied others by taking advantage of their power.

Although he did not fully understand the conversation between Zhang Liang and Yan Dan, Da Tiechui knew that Yan Dan was doing it for the good of Yan State, and that was enough.

"Da Tiechui, please go back. Don't tell anyone about what happened today, okay?" Yan Dan turned and looked at Da Tiechui, his tone earnest and serious.

"I know, and I won't tell anyone!" Big Hammer answered seriously.

"Yeah!" Yan Dan looked at the big hammer deeply, then turned and left.

Yan Dan had a good impression of Da Tiechui. Even though they had not known each other for a long time, with his shrewdness, he could tell the character of Da Tiechui. He believed in Da Tiechui.

Of course, even if the conversation between Yan Dan and Zhang Liang was leaked, it would not be a big deal. At least most people would not care too much after hearing it.

The two parted ways on the busy street and went their separate ways.

They didn't notice that not far away, a pair of bright eyes were watching them.

When they all walked away, the owner of those eyes instantly appeared in Zhang Liang's room.

"How about it? What do you think?" Zhang Liang looked at Dong Jun in the room with a smile.

"Humph, he is indeed unfathomable. I was fooled by him!" Dong Jun sneered, feeling angry and embarrassed.

Zhang Liang understood her feelings. She originally thought that Yan Dan was her prey and could be manipulated at will, but now she, the genius of Yin-Yang School, was being played by others.

In terms of cultivation, combat effectiveness and martial arts potential, Dongjun is naturally a top figure of the contemporary era, and few can compare to him. However, in terms of scheming and scheming, Dongjun is far inferior to Yan Dan, Han Fei, Ying Zheng and others.

It was precisely because of their scheming and cunning that they dared to plot against Zhang Liang again and again.

But this time, Zhang Liang did not deal with Yan Dan personally, but used Dongjun as a pawn...
