Chang Yu expected that although the King of Qin acquiesced to return to Yongcheng to preside over the crown ceremony, the return journey must not be peaceful!

After all, he has already hated King Qin, is there a more convenient way than to kill himself directly?

Chang Yu didn't dare to bet!

Zhao Ji didn't know that all Chang Yu's concern was false! The real purpose is to think about one's own safety. Separated from Zhao Ji, the assassin's target must have been staring at Zhao Ji and ignoring Chang Yu. No matter who intercepted and killed on the way, he would never dare to touch Zhao Ji. When the people who intercepted and killed found out that something was wrong, they had long since disappeared.

An imperceptible smile appeared on Chang Yu's face, and he got into the carriage with Zhao Ji outside the mansion gate.

Crane made sure that Chang Yu got into the car, quietly hid in the crowd, and immediately reported and assassinated.

On the way out of the city, Chang Yu and the others made sure that no one was following behind, so the carriage stopped in an unnoticed place and quietly got off. If the crane is here, it will be shocked.

It turned out that Chang Yu had changed his outfit between getting on and off the car, and the original high-value crown was replaced by a phoenix golden hairpin. Coupled with a green coat, she seems to have become a beautiful singer.

Chang Yu was born handsome, and she was born as a servant, and her dress was vivid, and even her voice was replaced by a soft female voice. In this way, no one will recognize him as he is.

Chang Yu entered a mansion, and when he came out again, he had changed into a carriage and drove towards Yongcheng brightly.

As envoys of the Chu State, Xuan Ying and Liu Xuan were also eligible to participate in the Qin crown ceremony, and at this time they also got into a carriage and rushed to Yongcheng. Jing Ke sat on the side with his sword in his hand, thinking about the assassination of Chang Yu.

Su Ying found a topic and asked, "Jing Qing, what did that person look for you yesterday?" ”

Jing Ke squinted at Yan Ying and said, "Do you know what I'm doing?" ”

Su Ying said: "Aren't you a ranger?" ”

Jing Ke said: "Since you know that I am a ranger, you should know that rangers travel in all directions, and most of them are engaged in chivalrous business." Such an act is indispensable for murder, assassination, ambush and blood, how can I tell you such news? ”

Su Ying smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't say it, but if you say it, it doesn't reveal your purpose?" If it's just an inconsequential matter, you shouldn't mind telling me, since you don't say it, it's a business and someone is looking for you to kill someone! And since you are in the same car as me, the destination can be imagined, the person you assassinated is in Yongcheng! ”

Jing Ke was not only okay, but also continued to fold his fingers and said, "Let me guess, who are you going to kill!"

If you can invite a master like you to make a move, whether it is the person who invites you or the person you want to kill, it must not be a lonely person. And what happened in the past few days, there are exactly two people who fit this situation..."

"Stop!"

Jing Ke stopped Jian Ying from continuing to analyze: "You must have guessed wrong!"

Kan Ying ignored Jing Ke's words, and continued: "I just don't understand, that Chang Yu is rushing to Yongcheng with Zhao Ji, and it stands to reason that the best time to assassinate him is on the road." Because once you return to Yongcheng, you will be at the territory of Chang Yu. The Queen Mother and Chang Yu have been running Yongcheng for more than ten years, who knows how many people have been placed, and it will be difficult to assassinate again at that time, if you don't catch up quickly, but set off with the two of us, wouldn't it backfire! Why is that? ”

Jing Ke didn't answer, looked out the window and said leisurely: "After I lost to Gai Nie, I realized that I was a frog at the bottom of the well. After that, he followed Gai Nie to learn the sword. ”

Unable to figure out why, she asked, "What does this have to do with my question?" ”

"Of course it does!"

Jing Ke said: "The assassination first needs to be secret. Even you can guess my purpose, so how can Chang Yu not guess it? The person who invited me was of a noble position, and I was not allowed to refuse this business, so I had to accept it. But I thought, they came to me so blatantly, how could the target person not know! Since he knew, he must have made arrangements on the way. Even if I follow, I will inevitably return in vain, so why should I join in the fun!

That's what Professor Gagnie told me!

Back then, I begged him to teach me swordsmanship, but he didn't agree, but told me that in terms of swordsmanship, I was already among the masters in the world, and what I lacked was not swordsmanship, but the way of assassins! ”

As a fellow sword-wielder, it was the first time that he had heard that there was such a way in the world, so he bowed and asked sincerely, "Dare to ask, what is the way of an assassin?" ”

Jing Ke said: "Walking with a sword to take people's lives, such people are outlaws, and they cannot be called assassins!"

Walking alone with a sword, such a person can only be called a murderer, not an assassin!

Only those who are virtuous can be called assassins!

For example, if you are about to assassinate someone, you must first ask yourself, "What kind of person is My Sword to kill!" If a man is merciful in the sea, what reason is my sword directed against him?

If I get a person, and my deeds make the people, what reason will my sword point to him?

This is one, and the two, if one of them is a man of no way, a cruel man, but he guards a horde, and with the strength of one of us, he will surely die at his hand, how can I take his life? Therefore, the Assassin must have his disciples and his friends. How to arrange, need to have a strategist, how to monitor the target, there must be a disciple to replace it, how to retreat to save life, there must be a friend to help.

There is a university question in this, and those who know the way have their way. Those who don't know the Tao are not Taoists! ”

Su Ying really didn't expect that Jing Ke would be an assassin with faith! In the past, I only felt that Jing Ke had extraordinary knowledge, but now it seems that in this world, Jing Qing is enough to call him a scholar!

She couldn't help but think of a story related to this.

Assassins use swords, and swords also have kendo!

At that time, King Zhao Wen liked swordsmanship, and the fencing people flocked to him, and the swordsmen under King Zhao Wen once reached more than 3,000 people, and they tried each other's swordsmanship day and night in front of King Zhao Wen, and there were more than 100 swordsmen killed and injured every year. And Zhao Wenwang's penchant for fencing has never been satisfied. After three years like this, the national strength of Zhao State was declining day by day, and the princes of all countries were planning how to attack Zhao State. The crown prince was very worried, and asked the left and right attendants: "Who can persuade King Zhao to stop the swordsmanship competition and give him a thousand gold."

The left and right attendants recommended: "Only Zhuangzi can take on this role."

The prince then sent someone to bring a generous gift to Zhuangzi, and wanted to ask Zhuangzi to talk about King Wen. Zhuangzi did not accept it, but followed the envoy to meet the prince. When they met, they asked, "What advice does the prince have to give me a generous gift?"

The prince said: "I heard that Mr. is wise and wise, and I would like to offer a thousand gold to reward the servant." Sir doesn't want to accept it, what else do I have to say!"

Zhuangzi said: "I heard that the prince wants to use me, because he intends to cut off King Zhao's love for swordsmanship. If I persuade King Zhao but go against King Zhao's wishes, and fail to meet the wishes of the crown prince, I will definitely be tortured and killed, where else can I use these gifts? If I can convince King Zhao and meet the prince's wishes, what do I hope to get in the world of Zhao?"

The prince was silent, nodded for a long time, and said, "That's the case."

Zhuangzi said again: "So what do I do, Your Highness must not only agree, but also not intervene!"

The prince acquiesced, and Zhuangzi continued: "I am also good at using swordsmanship, please ask the prince to recommend me to the king." “

The prince had promised that he would not refuse, so he had to turn around and say: "The fencers that my father has seen are all unkempt in hair, in protruding buns, with low hats, thick hats, tight clothes, wide eyes, and panting, and the king likes to see people dressed like this. Now, if Mr. wore Confucian clothes to meet King Zhao, things would definitely be messed up. “

Zhuangzi didn't seem to hear the prince's meaning, and begged: "This is easy to do, please give me a swordsman's costume, and I will see him in this dress."

The two had a word in advance, and although the prince thought that Zhuangzi could not succeed, he still agreed to his request. Three days later, the swordsman's costume was finished, and Zhuangzi met with the prince and the prince to meet the king of Zhao, who unsheathed his sword and waited for Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi entered the hall without hurrying, and when he saw King Zhao, he did not bow down. As soon as King Zhao saw the two, he understood what they meant and said, "You let the prince introduce you first." Begin to have something to enlighten me? The widow is tired of hearing it, so please go back. “

Zhuangzi said: "I heard that the king likes swordsmanship, and specially uses swordsmanship to see the king."

Zhuangzi was very interested in King Zhao, and King Zhao asked with great interest, "How can your swordsmanship stop the swordsman from defeating the opponent?"

Zhuangzi said: "My swordsmanship, kill one person in ten steps, and leave no trace for a thousand miles!"

King Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "Isn't the world your opponent?" “

Zhuangzi said: "The essence of fencing is to deliberately expose the weakness to the opponent, and then use the opportunity to lure the opponent, and then attack the opponent, and at the same time to hit the opponent first." I hope I have a chance to try my swordsmanship. “

King Zhao's interest increased greatly, and he was overjoyed: "Mr. will temporarily return to the hall to rest and wait for the notice, I will arrange a grand meeting of the fencing competition and then invite Mr. to come forward to compete."

King Zhao then spent seven days having the swordsmen compete in martial arts, killing and wounding more than 60 people, and selected five or six of them to wait under the palace with swords, and then summoned Zhuangzi. King Zhao said: "You can let the swordsmen test their swordsmanship with Mr." “

Zhuangzi has a masterful demeanor: "My sword is already hungry and thirsty!" “

King Zhao was curious and asked, "What is the length of the sword that Mr. is used to?"

Zhuangzi replied, "My swordsmanship is suitable for both long and short skills. However, I have three kinds of swords, and I am at the mercy of the king, so let me explain them a little before I can try them. “

King Zhao bowed and saluted: "Please!" ”

Only then did Zhuangzi explain slowly: "There is the sword of the Son of Heaven, the sword of the princes, and the sword of the people."

King Zhao: "How about the Sword of the Son of Heaven?" Zhuangzi said: "The sword of the Son of Heaven takes Shicheng Mountain in Yanxi as the tip of the sword, Mount Tai of Qi as the blade, Jin and Wei as the sword spine, Zhou Wangji and Song as the sword ring, and Korea and Wei as the hilt; Use the four realms outside the Central Plains to wrap, wrap with the four seasons, wrap with the Bohai Sea, and use the Heng Mountain to make a tie; rely on the five elements to control, rely on criminal law and morality to judge; Follow the changes of yin and yang and advance and retreat, follow the seasons of spring and autumn and extend, and follow the arrival of autumn and winter. This kind of sword, stabbing straight forward without hindrance, holding up nothing high, invincible according to the sword downward, swinging it as if there was nothing next to it, cutting the floating clouds upwards and cutting the earth downwards. Once used, this kind of sword can correct the princes and make all the people of the world submit. This is the sword of the Son of Heaven. “

King Wen of Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "Where is the sword of the princes?"

Zhuangzi said: "The sword of the princes, take the wise and brave as the tip of the sword, the honest as the blade, the virtuous as the spine, the loyal and holy man as the sword ring, and the heroic as the hilt." This kind of sword is unstoppable when it stabs straight forward, and there is nothing on it when it is raised high, and it is invincible when it is pressed downward, and it is as if there is nothing next to it when it is wielded; The upper is to follow the sky and conform to the sun, moon and stars, the lower is to follow the earth and conform to the four-time sequence, and the center is to conform to the will of the people and stabilize the four directions. Once this kind of sword is used, it is like a thunderbolt that shakes the four realms, and there is no one who does not obey the king's orders. This is the sword of the princes. “

King Zhao seemed to vaguely understand what Zhuangzi meant, and asked, "What about the sword of the people?"

Zhuangzi said: "The swords of the common people are all unkempt hair, protruding buns, hats hanging low, thick hats, tight clothes, wide eyes and panting. Fighting and assassinating each other in front of people, the upper can cut off the neck, and the lower can cut the liver and lungs, this is the sword of the people, no different from cockfighting, once the life is exhausted, it is useless for state affairs. Now that the king has the position to seize the world but loves the sword of the people, I privately think that the king should despise this practice. “

King Zhao was silent for a long time, so he changed his past and dismissed the swordsmen to concentrate on governing the country.

When she thought of this, she suddenly became lost!

Su Ying has been in Daqin for some time, and he saw that Daqin was full of talents, but on the other hand, the Chu State was fighting endlessly. I'm afraid that the sword of the Son of Heaven is about to be unsheathed, what can a mere assassin change!
