Chapter 972: Assassinating Wu
The capital of Zhao State, Pingcheng. At this time, in a simple palace, it has already called itself
Zhao Wuxian of "King Zhao" is meeting a special person. Zhao Wuxian sat on the top of the majestic platform, and the two old men sitting at the bottom were Zhao Guo's Xiangbang Post Wuxian and Da Sima Shiyan.
These are the two old ministers that Zhao Ying left to Zhao Wuxian who are worthy of entrusting him with great things. Since the collapse of the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Song, the entire Zhao State was shocked.
Because, all the Zhao people knew that after the Wu State swept through the Central Plains, the next step was to start a war against the Yan State, the Dai State and the Zhongshan State in the north.
At this critical juncture of life and death, more ministers of Zhao did not think about how to resist the invasion of the Wu army, but packed up the gold and silver and ran away, or persuaded Zhao Wuxian to surrender.
The minister who advocated surrendering to Wu had already been beheaded by Zhao Wuxian. It's just that Zhao Wuxian has a deep hatred with Wu Guo, and he would rather die than surrender to Wu State.
Now, the court of the entire Zhao State (Daiguo) is permeated with a kind of
"White Terror". Even the people of Daiguo have already fled from the Zhao people or the Lou Fu, Xiongnu, and Donghu tribes.
It's a real mess. However, Zhao Wuxian still did not give up hope of resisting the Wu army. He's going to give it a go!
Therefore, in the past year, Zhao Wuxian sent people everywhere to secretly find assassins who could be entrusted with big things. He planned to assassinate Wu Wang Qingji.
Now Zhao Wuxian has finally found a suitable person. That person also passed all kinds of tests set by Zhao Wuxian.
"Grass people Yu Zheng, see the king!" A young man with a mediocre appearance and a bee-waisted apeback stood under the majestic platform and bowed to Zhao Wuxian.
Zhao Wuxian hurriedly walked down the stage and named
The man of "Yu Zheng" helped him up, and said with a pleasant face: "Yu Zhuang doesn't need to be polite. Have a seat! ”
"King Xie!" In order to show his closeness to Yu Zheng, Zhao Wuxian also deliberately moved a table and two futons to sit opposite Yu Zheng.
Zhao Wuxian's actions really flattered Yu Zheng.
"The king knows the kindness of the encounter, and the grass people really don't know how to repay it?"
"Yu Zhuangshi, the widow has a reluctant request, presumably the postmaster has already told you?"
"The grass people already know." Yu Zheng Zhengse said: "I am a chivalrous warrior, light life and death, heavy promise." ”
"The king wants to assassinate Wu, and the grass people are willing to help the king. It's just that the king, with all due respect to the grass people, King Wu had the title of 'the first warrior of Wu Kingdom' in his early years, and his bravery was the best in the world. ”
"Although he is old, unprepared, and not as brave as he used to be, he may still have the strength to fight back. Besides, King Wu was surrounded by armor soldiers, and ordinary people couldn't get close to him at all. ”
"If the grass people can't get close to King Wu, the plan to assassinate Wu will probably be in vain." Hearing this, Zhao Wuxian nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Yu Zhuangshi, I really don't hide it, for today, I, Zhao Wuxian, have been looking forward to it for many years, just to avenge the shame." ”
"The assassination plan, the widow and the ministers have been planning for a long time, and there is already a careful deployment." Yu Zheng bowed slightly: "I would like to hear the details." ”
"Here, there is a rare treasure called 'Suihou Zhu'. It used to be the national treasure of Suiguo, the national treasure of Chu, but it was fated to fall into the hands of widows. Zhao Wuxian said slowly: "Suihou Zhu and He's Bi are called 'easy-going', and they are the best in the world. King Wu already has a He family, and he must be salivating over Suihou Zhu. ”
"Right now, the general trend of Wu Manzi dominating the world seems to be a foregone conclusion, and Qingji is also full of ambition, and it is expected that my Zhao State will not dare to resist Wu Shi, and most of them will surrender with courtesy."
"Therefore, the widow will let you be the envoy of Zhao, and dedicate it to Qingji with Hou Zhu and the mountains and rivers of my Zhao State, so as to win the trust of Qingji, get close to him, and then assassinate him." After a pause, Zhao Wuxian said very confidently: "The widow has forged a dagger specially for you, like a fish intestine sword, the dagger is quenched with poison, it is extremely poisonous, and it will die when it touches the skin." ”
"That dagger can be hidden in the scroll of the Shanhe Society diagram, and when you present this diagram, you can get close to Qingji and kill him with one blow." Hearing this, the thoughtful Yu Zheng shook his head and said, "King, forgive the grass people, this plan of yours is not a secret. ”
"Oh? I don't know what advice Yu Zhuangshi has? Zhao Wuxian did not feel the slightest annoyance, but humbly asked Yu Zheng for advice.
Yu Zheng squinted his eyes and said, "The Wu Palace is heavily guarded, and everything is very cautious. When the grass people heard about the dishes eaten by King Wu, they all had someone to taste whether there was poison or not, and then let King Wu eat it. ”
"Whenever he received a stranger, King Wu would generally send someone to search his body, so that he was unarmed and could not hide any sharp weapons on his body."
"The king said that he wanted to hide the dagger in the picture scroll, I'm afraid that before the grass people saw King Wu, they would have been searched, so what can I do?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuxian couldn't help frowning and said: "This map of mountains and rivers is the sincerity of my Zhao State after all, how can the Wu people take the liberty of searching?" ”
"Besides, this picture is a matter of secrecy, how can ordinary people see it?" Yu Zheng shook his head and said, "King, be prepared. You can't put your hopes in someone else. ”
"This ......" Zhao Wuxian asked stubbornly, "I don't know how the strong man plans to assassinate Wu?" "Regarding Yu Zheng's character, Zhao Wuxian can still be trusted.
Yu Zheng's father was Bi Yang, a famous chivalrous man in the previous Jin Kingdom, and when he arrived at Yu Zheng's generation, his family was in the middle.
However, Yu Zheng, who was born in a chivalrous family, has a good skill, and it is not a problem to fly the eaves and walk the wall.
Zhao Wuxian sent people to test Yu Zheng's martial arts. Yu Zheng was framed and imprisoned, and he was able to escape after killing more than a dozen armor soldiers with his own strength, he knew how to listen to the voice and distinguish the position, and he could defeat many people blindfolded.
This kind of ability is not something that ordinary people can have. And Yu Zheng is bold and careful, it is said that he dared to kill people in the street when he was thirteen years old, and he is notoriously bold.
Zhao Wuxian thought that only a person like Yu Zheng dared to take a huge risk and go to Wu Guoxing to assassinate Qingji.
In fact, Yu Zheng does have such a thing
"Ambitious"! So he hit it off with Zhao Wuxian.
"King, Suihou Zhu is a pearl of the night, and it is not dark and does not see its effect. If you can use the display of Hou Zhu as an excuse, taking advantage of the darkness of that moment, the grass people can kill King Wu with one blow, and they will definitely be able to succeed. Yu Zheng squinted his eyes and said: "It's just that it's not appropriate to hide the artifact in the picture scroll." Before meeting King Wu, his eagle dog would definitely search the grass people, so what can he do? "Without weapons, can Yu Zheng, who is bare-handed, be able to kill Qingji?
Apparently impossible.
"How's that okay?" Zhao Wuxian was worried for a while. Could it be that after preparing for such a long time, everything is a mirror and a mansion in the sky?
