Looking at the furious King Xi of Yan, fear appeared on Yan Dan's face, but he remained stubborn and resolute.
"Father."

"Ying Zheng is a wolf with ambitious designs; if he is allowed to swallow up the Zhao state, our great Yan will be in even greater danger."

"This benefits our great Yan." Yan Dan insisted stubbornly.
"You unfilial son, are you really this foolish?"
"It has come to this point."
"Do you still not understand what diplomatic relations between two states mean?"
"Do you still not know what national interest is?"
"You're right, Qin threatens our Yan far more than Zhao does. But Qin sent troops in response to our Yan's request for aid. If not for Qin, our Yan would have perished at Zhao's hands. In both sentiment and reason, Qin is now our Yan's benefactor."
"This time, our Yan and Qin are allies."
