Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 970
The capital of Zhao State, Pingcheng.

At this time, in a simple palace, Zhao Wuxie, who already called himself "King Zhao", was receiving a special person.

Zhao Wuxie sat on the Majesty's platform, and the two old men sitting next to him were Zhao Guo's Xiang Bangyou Wuxie and Da Sima Shi'an.

These are the two old ministers that Zhao Yang left to Zhao Wuxie who are worthy of entrusting important matters.

Since the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu, and Song were declared to be destroyed, the entire Zhao Kingdom was terrified.

Because all Zhao people knew that after Wu State swept the Central Plains, the next step was to start war against Yan State, Dai State, and Zhongshan State in the north.

At this juncture of life and death, more ministers of the state of Zhao were not thinking about how to resist the invasion of the Wu army, but to pack up the gold and silver and run away softly, or persuade Zhao Wuxie to surrender.

The minister who advocated surrendering to Wu has been beheaded by Zhao Wuxie.

Just because Zhao Wuxie had a deep hatred with Wu State, he would rather die than surrender to Wu State.

Now, there is a kind of "white terror" in the court hall of Zhao State (Dai State).

Even among the people of the Dai Kingdom, many Zhao people or people from the Loufan, Xiongnu, and Donghu tribes have fled.

This is really a tree falling and a hozen scattered.

However, Zhao Wuxie still did not give up hope of resisting Wu Jun.

He's going to give it a go!
Therefore, in the past year, Zhao Wuxie sent people everywhere to secretly look for assassins who could entrust important matters.

He planned to assassinate Wu Wang Qingji.

Now Zhao Wuxie has finally found a suitable person.

That person also passed the various tests set by Zhao Wuxie.

"Caomin Yuzheng, see Your Majesty!"

A young man with an ordinary appearance and a bee waist and ape back stood under the majesty's platform and bowed to Zhao Wuxie.

Zhao Wuxie hurriedly walked down to the majesty's stage, helped the man named "Yuzheng" up, and said kindly: "You don't need to be polite, strong man Yu. Please sit down!"

"Thank you king!"

In order to show his closeness to Yuzheng, Zhao Wuxie specially moved a table and two futons to sit opposite Yuzheng.

Zhao Wuxie's actions really flattered Yuzheng.

"Your Majesty's kindness, Caomin really don't know how to repay it?"

"Yu Zhuang, I have an unfeeling request, the postman must have told you?"

"The grass people already know."

Yuzheng said solemnly: "I wait for a chivalrous man, despise life and death, and pay more attention to promises."

"Your Majesty wants to assassinate Wu, and Caomin is willing to help him. It's just Your Majesty. Forgive Caomin for speaking bluntly. In his early years, King Wu was known as the 'No. [-] Warrior of Wu', and his bravery was unmatched in the world."

"Although he is old, lacking in military equipment, and not as brave as before, he may still be able to fight back. Besides, the king of Wu is surrounded by armored soldiers, and ordinary people can't get close to him."

"If the grassroots cannot get close to King Wu, the plan to assassinate Wu may be in vain."

Hearing this, Zhao Wuxie nodded in agreement, and said: "Scholar Yu, to tell the truth, for today, I, Zhao Wuxie, have been thinking and looking forward to it for many years, just to avenge my shame."

"The plan to assassinate Wu has been planned by the widow and the officials for a long time, and there is already a careful deployment."

Yuzheng nodded slightly and said, "I would like to hear the details."

"Here I am, there is a rare treasure called 'Suihou Pearl'. It used to be the national treasure of Sui, the national treasure of Chu, but it fell into the hands of the widow by fate."

Zhao Wuxie said slowly: "Suihou Zhu and Heshibi are called 'easy-going' together, they are perfect in combination, and they are the best in the world. King Wu already has Heshibi, so he must be coveting Suihouzhu."

"Right now, Wu Manzi's dominance of the world seems to be a foregone conclusion. Qingji is also full of ambitions. It is expected that Zhao Guo will not dare to resist Wu Master, and most of them will surrender with courtesy."

"Therefore, I will let you, as Zhao's envoy, dedicate the Suihouzhu and our Zhao country's mountain, river and community map to Qingji, so as to win Qingji's trust, get close to him, and then assassinate him."

After a pause, Zhao Wuxie said confidently: "The widow specially forged a dagger for you, like a fish intestine sword, the dagger is poisonous, extremely poisonous, and it will kill you when it touches the skin."

"The dagger can be hidden in the scroll of Shanhe Sheji Map. When you present this map, you can get close to Qingji and kill him with one blow."

Hearing this, the thoughtful Yuzheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, with all due respect to the grassroots, this plan of yours is not considered thorough."

"Oh? I don't know what advice Mr. Yu Zhuang has?"

Zhao Wuxie was not annoyed at all, but asked Yuzheng humbly for advice.

Yuzheng squinted his eyes and said, "Wu Palace is heavily guarded and is very cautious in everything. The grass people have heard that the dishes that King Wu eats have special personnel to taste whether there is any poison before letting King Wu eat them."

"Whenever he meets a stranger, the King of Wu will usually send someone to search him to make him unarmed and not have any sharp weapons hidden on his body."

"Your Majesty said that if you want to hide the dagger in the picture scroll, I am afraid that the grassroots will be searched before they see the King of Wu. What should I do?"

Hearing this, Zhao Wuxie couldn't help frowning and said: "This map of mountains, rivers and communities is, after all, the sincerity of my country of Zhao. How can Wu people take the liberty to search it?"

"Furthermore, this picture is a secret, how can ordinary people see it?"

Yuzheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, be prepared. You can't pin your hopes on others."

"This……"

Zhao Wuxie bit the bullet and asked, "I don't know how the strong man plans to assassinate Wu?"

Zhao Wuxie can still trust Yuzheng's character.

Yuzheng's father was Bi Yang, a famous chivalrous man from the Jin Kingdom, but in Yuzheng's generation, his family has fallen into decline.

However, Yuzheng, who was born in a family of chivalrous men, has good skills, and it is easy to fly over the wall.

Zhao Wuxie sent people to test Yuzheng's martial arts.

Yuzheng was framed and imprisoned, and he was able to kill more than a dozen soldiers by himself and then escaped. He knew how to listen to voices to identify positions, and he was able to defeat many people while blindfolded.

This kind of ability is not something ordinary people can have.

Moreover, Yuzheng is bold and cautious. It is said that he dared to kill people in the street when he was 13 years old. He is famous for his courage.

Zhao Wuxie thought that only people like Yuzheng dared to take great risks to go to Wu to assassinate Qingji.

In fact, Yuzheng did have such "ambitions"!
So he hit it off with Zhao Wuxie.

"Your Majesty, the Suihou Pearl is a night pearl. It's not the night, so it doesn't see its effect. If you can use the Suihou Pearl as an excuse, and take advantage of the darkness at that moment, the grassroots can kill the King of Wu with one blow, and they will surely succeed."

Yuzheng squinted his eyes and said, "It's just that it's not appropriate to hide the utensils in the scroll. Before meeting King Wu, his hawks and dogs will definitely search the grassroots people. What can I do?"

Can the unarmed and unarmed Yuzheng kill Qingji?
Obviously it is impossible.

"How can this be good?"

Zhao Wuxie felt worried for a while.

Could it be that the assassination of Wu has been prepared for so long, and everything is like a mirror, a castle in the air?
