Chapter 76 I have three strategies to achieve great things
Geng Jichen didn't know what Mo Jiu had to do, so he put his ear close to the past.
Then Mo Jiu whispered: "Second Young Master, have you heard of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin?"
Geng Jichen nodded and said, "This story of Jing Ke assassination of Qin has been performed countless times, both in books and in operas. How could I not know?"
Mo Jiu continued to ask, "The second young master thinks that Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin did not succeed in the past, and where did he fail?"
Geng Jichen was stunned. He had heard the story of Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin countless times, and even the details were very clear. However, if Jing Ke did not assassinate Qin in the end, it would be difficult to explain what part of the blame for the problem.
Mo Jiu did not wait for Geng Jichen to answer and continued: "When Jing Ke assassinated Qin, he hid the dagger in the scroll of the map. He slowly expanded the map. When the map was completely opened, the dagger was exposed. Jing Ke stabbed the King of Qin with the dagger in his hand. This is also the origin of the sentence "
"To be honest, although Jing Ke is the most famous assassin in a thousand years, his killing skills and level are really average. You should know that assassination is about speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. What is important is to hit a single blow."
"However, he hid the deadliest weapon in the map, and suddenly increased a lot of variables. Even if he was slowing down when he grabbed the dagger with his hands, the King of Qin would find something wrong and naturally he was prepared."
When Geng Jichen heard that Mo Jiu had been talking about Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "I have lived the story of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin countless times. What does what you said have to do with today's assassination?"
Mo Jiu smiled and said, "Second Young Master, don't worry, the show off is here."
"The clothes we are wearing now have a buckle decoration on the cuffs. Do you know what they are for?"
Geng Jichen said impatiencely: "Aren't you responsible for cutting and making this clothes? How do I know what is there?"
Mo Jiu made a gesture, signaling Geng Jichen not to worry, and continued: "The clothes we wear were when I was fighting in Tongguan. I saw that many heroes dressed up like this. Because the style was strange, I remembered it in my heart."
"It's not that I boasted that I'm actually a little talented among the tailor. I dare not say that I can never forget it, but I can still draw pictures of the clothes I've seen, and I can imitate them all."
"I thought the buckle decoration at the cuffs of this set of clothes was strange. I didn't know what it was for. I just thought it was an ordinary decoration, so I copied it together."
"Later, when I was late at night, I would study the buckle on the cuffs. In the end, I really understood that this was not just a simple decoration, but a mechanism for placing the sleeve sword."
As he said that, Mo Jiu quietly took out a dagger from his arms and pressed it on Geng Jichen's inner sleeve. With a "click", the dagger actually clamped against the snap-on of Geng Jichen's inner sleeve.
The dagger is so skillful that it hides on the inner sleeve like a decoration, and it is not obvious that it is a killing weapon.
Mo Jiu smiled and said, "Second Young Master, bend your wrist and try whether this thing is easy to use."
According to what Mo Jiu said, Geng Jichen raised his wrist gently and touched the mechanism inside the inner sleeve. The dagger instantly popped out of the cuff like a poisonous snake. The blade more than seven inches long shone with a cold light.
Geng Jichen was startled and quickly bent his wrist. The dagger with a cold light shrank back instantly.
Geng Jichen's heartbeats continuously, and his face flushed red. He looked around with guilt, but fortunately no one noticed his actions and felt relieved.
Mo Jiu continued: "When Jing Ke assassinated Qin, in the crisis, Jing Ke flew out a dagger, but stabbed into the wooden pillar and could not be pulled out. This made him unarmed and failed."
"So I have also made a little transformation of this sneaker sword. Second young master, have you seen the spring below? If things go wrong, you can still press the spring. The sneaker sword will turn into a crossbow, and the dagger will shoot directly from the sleeve."
"And what's even better is that there is a thin chain behind the dagger. You don't have to worry that like Jing Ke, the dagger can't be pulled out after stabbing into the wooden pillar. As long as you press the motive spring again, you will pull the chain and retract the dagger."
"I have considered everything for the second young master. I also asked the second young master to show his power and kill Ma Shiyao in front of the hall."
Geng Jichen looked at the exquisitely crafted sneak sword in his hand, then looked at the loyal Mo Jiu next to him, and after a long time hesitated, "I have something that I don't understand very well at this moment. Can you explain it to me?"
Mo Jiu whispered: "Second Master, please speak if you have something to do."
Geng Jichen said depressedly: "It's this assassination work. If I do it alone, what do I want you to do?"
After hearing this, Mo Jiu immediately slapped his thigh and said with a grudge: "The second young master doesn't know that this assassination has never been done by one person in history. Jing Ke still needs Qin Wuyang to cooperate."
"Whether this cover, retreat or watching the enemy situation, you need to have companions to support you."
"I have prepared a fast horse outside the door. Once you succeed, you can ride a fast horse out of the city immediately. I, Mo Jiu, have fought my life and will help you cut off the rear, ensuring that you have no worries."
Geng Jichen thought for a while and said to Mo Jiu: "Actually, I think I can do this retreat and cover work, too."
"Do you think this is good? Let's change it. After all, you have rich experience and high martial arts skills. Why don't you come to assassinate me and I will help you to cover me next to you. What do you think?"
Mo Jiuyi said righteously: "No, how can you fake someone else's hand for avenging your father? Besides, the Regent can explain it clearly. Whoever kills Ma Shiyao can be the winner. If I kill Ma Shiyao for you, what's the matter?"
"If the second young master can exert his might and assassinate Ma Shiyao today, even if the eldest young master Geng Jimao complains in the future, he will not be able to say anything. After all, if you gain such a dignified position, others will be understandable. I am considering you!"
Geng Jichen continued to shake his head and said, "You Dao is the son of a daughter who is not in a dangerous place. Although I dare not call him a daughter of a daughter, I am always the future master of the Geng family. If there is danger, the Geng family will fall into the hands of Geng Jimao's wolfish ambition."
"I would rather have some criticism in the future than taking risks now."
"Mo Jiu, you are the slave of my Geng family for generations. The former kings treated you well. For the sake of safety, I think you should change to your actions."
When Mo Jiu heard this, he was about to refuse, but Geng Jichen saw through Mo Jiu's thoughts and said furiously: "Mo Jiu, are you timid and afraid of death and dare not take action?"
Mo Jiu sighed and said helplessly: "Second Young Master, my little life is rewarded by the old prince. In order to repay the old prince's kindness, even if you die without regrets, how could you cherish your life because you are afraid of death?"
"It's not that I don't want to, it's really impossible!"
"When I designed this sneaker sword, I was afraid that it would not be installed firmly and would ruin the second young master's big deal, so I specially installed a snap-on structure that was locked for ten thousand years."
"So if you said this a moment ago, it would be too late. Now the sneaker sword has stuck on your sleeve. If you use a sledgehammer to break the dagger, you may not be able to remove it."
"Actually, I was thinking about letting you avenge your father with your own hands, and I didn't dare to save the idea of robbing the second son of yourselves. This happened...ah."
Geng Jichen heard that Mo Jiu had locked his sleeves to his sleeves, and couldn't help but be angry and startled, saying, "You...you... then we will change the clothes directly, you wear my clothes..."
Geng Jichen had just said half of what he said, but he knew it was inappropriate. Not to mention that there was no place to change his clothes at the wedding banquet, even if he had to force it, Mo Jiu was thin and small, and his figure was as big as Mo Jiu.
If Mo Jiu put on his assassin's clothes, his sleeves would probably have to be half hung down, not to mention the use of a sleeve sword mechanism.
Geng Jichen hesitated for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, "You can't do this, so let's talk about your best strategy."
Mo Jiu nodded, knowing that Geng Jichen would not take any risk to himself, so he said, "Let the second young master take action by himself, to take the right and straightness in it. He would rather take it in the straightness than seek it in the curve."
"But even if this assassination is successful, it is inevitable that there will be brothers who will be killed or injured when retreating later, so I decided to set the plan just now as a plan."
"The ancients said that the superior soldiers attacked the plan, and the second was the superior soldiers. In my opinion, the best way is to be able to observe the wall and let others take action. Whether successful or not, we can get rid of suspicion. This is the best way."
When Geng Jichen heard that he didn't have to do it himself, he immediately said, "This is good, this is good! Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Mo Jiu smiled and said, "It was the young master who chose Zhongce from the beginning, and it was not me who deliberately concealed it."
Geng Jichen was full of surprises that he didn't need to take risks on his own, and he did not blame Mo Jiu for deliberately keeping him in a silence. He said happily: "Let me tell me about your best plan quickly and let me hear what's going on."
Mo Jiu nodded and said, "Actually, there is nothing special. I spent a lot of money to bribe a friend from Wangyun Tower and asked him to assassinate Ma Shiyao as a dead soldier today."
"Why did I say that this wedding banquet does not cost a lot of money? In fact, it is not that I am stingy, but because good steel is used on the blade. How can a dead soldier like this work for you without having to buy it with a lot of money?"
Geng Jichen nodded repeatedly and praised: "Okay, okay, good steel should be used on the blade. Then why are you still waiting for now? Ask your deceased soldier to do it."
It turned out that Ma Shiyao had already arrived at Wangyun Tower at this time, sitting in the front row, chatting and laughing with the group of people at the same table, and from time to time, there were also sounds of laughter coming.
Ma Shiyao, not far from Mo Jiu, said calmly: "This matter is not urgent. Look at the guards around Ma Shiyao, they are all alert. Even if they want to assassinate, they have to wait for a certain opportunity to naturally fall."
The table where Ma Shiyao is located is placed independently, which is a distance away from the tables of other guests.
Next to the table, several strong and armored soldiers stood. Whenever strangers approached, these soldiers would simply search for their bodies.
If someone wants to approach it deliberately, he may be captured by Ma Shiyao's personal soldiers before he gets close.
Mo Jiu looked at the table where Ma Shiyao was and whispered: "Second Master, please be careful. In my opinion, this time is probably coming soon."
Geng Jichen glanced at him twice, but couldn't see anything unusual, and wondered: "Where is the time you were talking about?"
Mo Jiu nodded to the direction of Ma Shiyao's table and said, "Second Master, please pay attention to the dried fruit refreshments on his table. Are you almost finished?"
Geng Jichen looked in the direction of Mo Jiu's mouth and saw that there were some dishes containing melon seeds and snacks on the table where Ma Shiyao was originally placed.
At this time, Ma Shiyao seemed to be having a happy chat with the people at the table. From time to time, people grabbed some dried fruit snacks on the plate and chatted while eating. Several plates had already been seen at the bottom of the plate.
The personal soldiers next to him saw that the melon seeds were empty, so they waved to call the guy and asked him to change them to some new fruit sauces as soon as possible.
One of the guys agreed, but soon after, he came out with a food box in his hand.
Mo Jiu looked at the guy and whispered to Geng Jichen: "Second Master, please pay attention to that guy. This is the dead soldier I hired."
"You see that the food box he is holding now is not there. In fact, the food box is fake. It was a hidden weapon I specially found in Jianghu people. It is called 'Turgling Pear Blossom Needle'."
"Twelve steel needles are hidden in the box, and each needle is highly poisonous, which can be said to be blood-sealed. As long as you press the motivation, the twelve steel needles will be shot out at one go, and it will be difficult for the gods to hide within five steps."
Geng Jichen nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and his eyes stared at the guy.
The guy was holding a food box and was about to walk forward, but he was stopped by a Ma Shiyao's personal soldier.
The personal soldier slapped the whole man's body up and down, and then asked the man to open the food box and check it out for himself.
Seeing that the personal soldier was about to open the food box, Geng Jichen was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe. He couldn't help but grab Mo Jiu's thigh with his hands and stared at the guy with his eyes.
The dead soldier who pretended to be a mate was not as nervous as Geng Jichen. He calmly opened his hands and let several personal soldiers search up and down. Then he opened the food box himself and asked the personal soldiers to check it.
Geng Jichen looked from a distance and saw a few plates of dried fruit and snacks in the food box, which seemed to be less than the heavy rain pear blossom needles Mo Jiu said.
Geng Jichen breathed a sigh of relief, but he was very puzzled and asked Mo Jiu: "Didn't you say that this food box was a rainy pear blossom needle you made specially? Could it be that guy retreated and changed the fake food box to a real food box?"
Mo Jiu said calmly: "How could I admit my mistake in the food box I made myself? That food box is indeed the box of the rainy rain pear blossom needle."
"But when I was making this hidden weapon, I thought of this section. The upper layer of the box was a real food box, but the lower part was hollow, and the hidden weapon mechanism was hidden. No matter how many personal soldiers checked, they would not find any problems. Don't worry, young master."
"I dare not say that I am a clever plan, but everything at the moment is still within my control!"
After Mo Jiu said this, Geng Jimao felt relieved just now, but now he became nervous again. He knew that the dead soldier hired by Mo Jiu did not retreat, but was about to take action. His heart also followed the dead soldier's movements and kept jumping.
At this time, several personal soldiers had completed the inspection and allowed the dead soldier who pretended to be a friend to walk into Ma Shiyao's table.
At this time, Ma Shiyao was still talking nonsense, without knowing that danger was coming.
The dead soldier took two steps forward and raised the Rainy Pear Blossom Needle Receiver, which was pretending to be a food box, high above his head.
Geng Jichen knew whether Ma Shiyao was alive or dead, and he met in an instant. He stared at the Death Soldier holding Ji Ku's hands, couldn't help but open his mouth wide and hold his breath.
But what made Geng Jichen even more shocked was that the scene where he expected the assassination of the dead man was successful, not only did he not appear, but the dead man held up the pear blossom needle in the rain and actually knelt down straight.
He pointed his hand at the table on his side and shouted, "Sir, I report it, I expose it! That table is an assassin, and they will be detrimental to Sir!"
"The hidden weapon in this food box is evidence. Please ask the Lord to capture the assassin!"
No matter how much Geng Jichen calculated, he didn't expect that the assassin hired by Mo Jiu would turn against him at the last minute. He opened his mouth wide and his saliva almost flowed all over the floor.
Chapter completed!
