Zhao Guo, Handan.

In terms of urban area, Handan is undoubtedly a big city, and it is the top big city in China.

But in this great city of the time, not everyone can have a lot of accommodation.

Like many cities in the world of this era, the people of different classes lived in different places in Handan, and the further north they went, the poorer the people lived there.

In the northwestern corner of Handan City, after passing through a place where traders and butchers are selling, you can see a small alley.

Walking into the alley, you will find that both sides of the road are filled with all kinds of household garbage and feces, the stench is stinking, a few tattered clothes fluttering outside the pigsty-like houses, and there is an uncomfortable stench in the air.

Just after a spring rain, the already narrow dirt road of the alley suddenly became a little potholed by the rain, and several naughty children jumped up and down in the small puddle excitedly, completely ignoring the mud spots on their bodies.

The laughter of the children added a touch of life to the dead alley, but that was all.

This is a place where even the most dedicated officials in Handan City will be respected, and in later generations this place has a very resounding name - the slum.

If you walk a few hundred steps along the place where the urchins played, you will find a small house at the end of the alley.

Although the hut looks very dilapidated, it is even worthy of the word "luxury" compared to the surrounding sheds that are indistinguishable from the pigsty.

In the room, several shabby-clad and scruffy-looking men were discussing something in a whisper.

A tall black-bearded man said indignantly: "That giant actually let us assassinate King Zhao in order to curry favor with King Qin, it's just nonsense!" ”

As soon as the black-bearded man said this, someone shouted: "Drama Zhong, you don't want to open your mouth at will and insult the giant!"

Ji Zhong snorted, and retorted not to be outdone: "His giant son follows the King of Qin every day and enjoys official status, but he let us come to do this dangerous thing!" You don't want to think about it, if the assassination of King Zhao is successful, we will die in Zhao, and we will not be able to return to Qin! ”

As soon as the drama Zhong said this, the people in the hut were silent for a while.

After a while, someone spoke: "Can you get in touch with the local ink man?"

Hearing this, the drama snorted very dissatisfied, and said, "Why don't you go?" ”

Someone said: "You are a native of Zhao and have been in Handan for many years, so you should be responsible for this matter." ”

Ju Zhong snorted and said, "We are all ink heroes, I do it, you can't do it?" ”

After complaining a few words in his mouth, the drama Zhong spoke: "Now that the king of Zhao has broken Qin in Changping, the whole country of Zhao respects him, and hopes that he will lead the Zhao country to dominate the world, how can he harm his life?" This is not in line with the way of the ranger. ”

After a pause, the drama Zhong spoke again: "And now that Zhao Wang Dan has built the northern and southern armies, and those who are selected will be given a fourth-class civil lord and enjoy the treatment of a mansion slave and maid." Today, more than half of the rangers in Handan are selected, and all those who are selected will call Zhao Dan a virtuous king, how can this matter be done? ”

Several ink warriors in the hut looked at each other, and then said, "Where is the Mo Shi of Zhao Kingdom?" ”

"Moshi?" Ji Zhong sneered and said, "Do you know that Zhao Wang Dan will meet Han Wei King Yu Zhongmu a few days ago, and talk about wanting to calm the disputes in the world?" This is in line with the way of both love and non-attack, Zhao Guomoshi praised it, how can he help us? ”

Another humane: "How is the ink debate? ”

Ju Zhong rolled his eyes, looking too lazy to answer.

"Ink debate? But what is the use of tongues! ”

There was a deathly silence in the hut again.

A few ink heroes, you look at me, I look at you, it's a pain in my heart.

These people are all from the Mo family, and they are the ink heroes in the Mo family.

With the changes of the times, the Mo family is also changing imperceptibly.

After the death of Mo Zhai, the founder of the Mo family, their disciples had different interpretations of Mo Zhai's theory, and thus split into several factions, one of which was headed by the Belly Clan, and went west to defect to King Qin Huiwen, which is also the so-called "Ink of the Abdomen".

With the increasing prosperity of the Qin State, the ink of the belly clan also became more and more powerful, and began to be recognized by the ink schools of other countries one after another, and the contemporary host of the ink of the abdomen Kang was also selected as the contemporary giant of the Mo family.

In the view of the abdomen Zhimo, if you want to achieve both love and non-attack, the premise is not to stop the attack of the princes, because "the battle between the princes is endless." ”

The real way should be to support one of the princes to annex all the others, and then there will be no war. This is also the so-called "the world is one, and it can be achieved without attacking." ”

Since it has been recruited by the Qin State, then of course, the goal of this branch of the Belly Clan's Mo is to help the Qin State unify.

It was in this context that after the defeat of the Qin State at Changping, the contemporary Mojia giants sent a team of Moxia to Handan, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Wangdan.

Because this drama Zhong is a native of Handan, Zhao State, and was once well-known in the Zhao State Ranger Circle, he was appointed as the guide and person in charge of this trip.

Several Moxia came with full ambition and were bound to become famous in one fell swoop, but when they came here, they found that the difficulty of this assassination operation was completely unexpected.

In the confession of the giant and the conjecture of several ink heroes, a monarch like Zhao Dan, who "rejuvenates the teacher all the year round without paying attention to the suffering of the people", should be disgusted, so there should be many people willing to help him.

But in fact, on the contrary, Zhao Dan's prestige among the Zhao State is so high that it can already be compared to Qin Wangji.

If it weren't for the fact that Ju Zhong was careful enough to never tell the purpose of assassinating Zhao Dan when contacting others, then maybe these ink heroes would have suffered a long time ago.

But without the support of the local rangers and Moshi, the drama Zhong and the others would not be able to know Zhao Dan's whereabouts, nor would they be able to meet Zhao Dan face to face, so how could they complete the assassination mission?

The facts made the ink heroes a little discouraged.

After a while, someone whispered, "Why don't we go back to the Qin State here?"

Ji Zhong snorted and said, "If there is no reactive turn, how can the giant spare our lives?"

Ink warriors, you look at me, I'll look at you, this time there is really nothing to do.

In fact, this is not the first time such a scene has been staged here.

At this time, the drama suddenly slapped his thigh: "There is!"

Everyone was surprised and delighted when they heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How?"

Ju Zhong said: "I visited a Handan ink worker the day before yesterday, and I heard what he said that Zhao Wangdan has sent a reward to the craftsmen of the hundred workshops, if there is anyone who can make paper, a reward of ten thousand gold, a third-class civil lord, and Zhao Wangdan personally received it!"

The Ink Warriors looked at each other, and the expression on their faces looked somewhat suspicious.

Someone said: "Zhao Wang Dan is the respect of a country, how can he go to see this craftsman and his ilk?" And how can this paper be made? ”

Ji Zhong smiled: "I don't know."

Everyone rolled their eyes, you don't understand that you are laughing at a fart.

Ju Zhong then said: "But with the respect of Zhao Wangdan, his words will be true." The work of my Mo family is longer than a hundred schools. Although this papermaking technique is difficult, how can it stump the Mo family? I want to repair a book to Juzi, so that Juzi will send the ink worker Lingzi into Zhao, and when the papermaking succeeds in meeting Zhao Wangdan, it will be when Zhao Wangdan dies! ”

When all the ink heroes heard this, they were overjoyed and said, "Good!"
