Chapter 218 The Second Han Fei
Dongjun was originally a bright new star in the Yin-Yang School. On the surface, her status was second only to the Venerable Donghuang Taiyi. She was talented and outstanding among the younger generations of the major families.
Unfortunately, she was defeated in the battle with Zhang Liang in Xinzheng City, but this did not shake the pride of the Goddess of the East.
However, soon after, Zhang Liang's reputation rose rapidly, and he traveled across the city, establishing a powerful force independent of other families. If Dongjun still had some reluctance to accept the battle with Zhang Liang and planned to turn defeat into victory in the future, then as Zhang Liang's reputation grew and his achievements accumulated, this idea in Dongjun's mind had already quietly dissipated.
When he met Zhang Liang again today, Dong Jun felt not only pressure, but also a sense of heaviness as if he was facing Dong Huang Tai Yi. Although Zhang Liang had not yet reached the terrifying level of Dong Huang Tai Yi, his strength had already vaguely revealed a threat beyond the master level.
Therefore, although Dongjun still maintained an arrogant attitude today and even issued a warning to Zhang Liang, deep down in her heart, she was already a little uneasy.
It was her mission to obtain the secret of the "Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon" of the State of Yan, and it had nothing to do with Zhang Liang. However, Yan Dan overestimated his own abilities and wanted to use the fight between Zhang Liang and Yan Chunjun to get rid of Yan Chunjun through Zhang Liang. Perhaps, his calculations were more far-reaching.
Yan Dan thought he was smart and tried to control the situation, but he didn't know that Zhang Liang hated being plotted against the most, and he might end up suffering the consequences, angering Zhang Liang and bringing about his own death. Once Yan Dan died, Dong Jun's mission would not be completed, and the secret of the "Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon" would be missing a key link, which would be detrimental to the layout of the Yin-Yang School and a major challenge to Dong Jun himself.
However, Dongjun was unable to convince Yan Dan, and did not want to reveal his identity in order to avoid arousing Yan Dan's suspicion, so he came to lobby Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang stared at Dongjun in front of him, thought for a moment, shook his head gently, and then said: "Dongjun, is it possible that your appearance is also part of Yan Dan's plan?"
"Yan Dan is a man who thinks things through and never acts rashly. It is not uncommon for ordinary politicians to want to use me to get rid of their enemies, but it is not difficult for him to deal with Yan Chunjun. There is no need for him to take the risk of plotting against me. This kind of high-risk, low-return calculation is definitely not a wise move. The only reason that can make Yan Dan act like this is that he is sure that he will not bring trouble upon himself!"
"I think it's not the Mohists who can make Yan Dan believe that he can keep his life in my hands, but you, the Yin-Yang School, right?"
Zhang Liang looked at Dong Jun with a faint smile, a sneer on his lips, and deep eyes, as if he knew everything in the world.
Dongjun was distracted for a moment. Zhang Liang at this moment brought her even greater pressure. He was like a god overlooking the human world, making her feel that Zhang Liang was closer to Donghuang Taiyi.
However, Dongjun quickly put aside her distracting thoughts and began to seriously consider Zhang Liang's words. After a moment, she said, "You mean, Yan Dan already knew my background and understood my goals, so he used the power of the Yin-Yang School to protect himself!"
"Perhaps he wants to incite a conflict between the Yin-Yang School and the Taoist Tianzong, and even involve the Mohist School. Everyone knows that the Yin-Yang School assisted the Qin State. Although Yan Dan joined the Mohist School, the Mohist School adheres to the way of chivalry and is unwilling to be involved in disputes among countries. It is difficult for Yan Dan to get much help from the Mohist School!"
"Compared with the profound heritage of Qin State and the assistance of Yin-Yang School, Tianzong's closeness to Qin State is far behind Yan State. If a fight is triggered between Yin-Yang School and Tianzong, wouldn't it indirectly weaken the strength of Qin State?" Zhang Liang sneered.
Dong Jun pondered for a moment, then said coldly: "He used himself as bait, what a big plan, what a courage!"
"It's nothing. As a king, you have great ambitions and are not afraid of taking risks. Besides, the Yan State is weak. How can it rise in the world if it doesn't risk everything?" Zhang Liang said with a smile, "It's a pity that you, the Lord of the Yin-Yang School, seem to be used by others without knowing it. Do you feel frustrated?"
"Hmph, I will find out. If this is true, I will make Yan Dan pay the price!" Dong Jun said angrily.
"I hope so. Yan Dan's wisdom is far beyond your imagination. You underestimate him!" Zhang Liang couldn't help laughing.
"I hope you are not making this up!" Dongjun glared at Zhang Liang and disappeared into the night in an instant.
Zhang Liang smiled and looked into the deep night.
"The night is like water, unfathomable, but there are always stars shining, just like this world, there is never a lack of outstanding people!" Zhang Liang sighed: "It's a pity that you want to rely on my power but don't put yourself in the right position. I'm afraid you will become the second Han Fei!"
In Zhang Liang's view, Han Fei, Yan Dan and Ying Zheng were essentially the same, all of them were ambitious heroes in troubled times, but they used different methods and held different powers. However, they all had the same attitude towards Zhang Liang, always trying to win him over and use him, and getting along with him as if he were a high-ranking official, and this was their biggest mistake.
