The capital of Zhao State, Pingcheng.

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

Zhao Wuxie was sitting on the throne, and the two old men sitting below him were the Prime Minister of Zhao State, You Wuxie, and the Grand Sima Shi An.

These are the two veterans Zhao Yang left to Zhao Wuxie who are worthy of entrusting him with important tasks.

Ever since the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu, and Song were declared overthrown, the entire Zhao Kingdom was in shock.

Because everyone in Zhao knew that after Wu State swept across the Central Plains, the next step would be to start a war against Yan State, Dai State and Zhongshan State in the north.

At this critical moment of life and death, more Zhao ministers were not thinking about how to resist the Wu army's invasion, but about packing up the gold and silver and running away, or persuading Zhao Wuxie to surrender.

The ministers who advocated surrender to Wu have been killed by Zhao Wuxie.

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

Now, a kind of "white terror" pervades the entire Zhao Kingdom (Dai Kingdom) court.

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

This is really a tree falling and the hozen scattering.

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

He wants to give it a try!

Therefore, over the past year, Zhao Wuxie sent people everywhere to secretly search for assassins who could entrust him with important tasks.

He planned to assassinate Wu Wang Qingji.

Now Zhao Wuxie finally found a suitable person.

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

"The grassroots government in Henan, please see your Majesty!"

A young man with an ordinary appearance and a thick waist and a thick back stood under the throne and bowed to Zhao Wuxie.

Zhao Wuxie hurriedly walked down the stage, helped the man named "Yu Zheng" up, and said kindly: "Young man Yu, you don't need to be polite. Please sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

In order to show his closeness to Yu Zheng, Zhao Wuxie specially brought a table and two futons to sit across from Yu Zheng.

Zhao Wuxie's actions really flattered Yu Zheng.

"The common people really don't know how to repay the king for his kindness."

"Master Yu, I have a heartfelt request. I believe the postman has already told you about it?"

"The common people already know."

Yu Zheng said sternly: "We, the knights, despise life and death, but value promises."

"The king wants to assassinate Wu, and the common people are willing to lend a helping hand to the king. But, my king, forgive the blunt words of the common people. In his early years, the king of Wu was known as the 'Number One Warrior in the Kingdom of Wu', and his bravery was unrivaled in the world."

"Although he is old, neglected in military preparation, and not as brave as before, he may still be able to fight back. Furthermore, the King of Wu is surrounded by soldiers, and ordinary people cannot get close to him."

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

Hearing this, Zhao Wuxie nodded with deep understanding and said: "Mr. Yu, I can tell you the truth. I, Zhao Wuxie, have been thinking about this day and night for many years, just to avenge and avenge my shame."

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

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

"I have a rare treasure here, called the Suihou Pearl. It was once the national treasure of Sui State and the national treasure of Chu State, but it fell into my hands by chance."

Zhao Wuxie said in a slow voice: "The Suihou Pearl and the Heshi Bi are both called 'Suihe'. The combination of the beads is the best in the world. The King of Wu already has the Heshi Bi, so he must be coveting the Suihou Pearl."

"Right now, it seems that Wu Manzi will dominate the world and it seems to be a foregone conclusion. Qing Ji is also very ambitious. It is expected that Zhao State will not dare to resist Master Wu and will probably surrender with courtesy."

"Therefore, I will let you serve as the envoy of Zhao, and dedicate the Sui Hou Zhu to Qing Ji together with the map of the country's mountains and rivers, so as to gain Qing Ji's trust, get close to him, and then assassinate him."

After a pause, Zhao Wuxie said confidently: "I have forged a dagger specially for you. It is like a fish intestine sword. The dagger is quenched with poison. It is extremely poisonous. If it touches the skin, it will kill you."

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

Hearing this, Yu Zheng, who was thoughtful, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being frank, your plan is not considered to be sophisticated."

"Oh? I wonder what Zhuangshi Yu has to say?"

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

Yu Zheng squinted his eyes and said: "Wu Palace is heavily guarded, and everything is very cautious. When the common people heard about the dishes eaten by King Wu, they would have someone taste them to see if they were poisonous before letting King Wu eat them."

"Whenever he meets a stranger, King Wu will usually send someone to search him so that he is unarmed and cannot hide any sharp weapons on his body."

"The king said that he wanted to hide the dagger in the scroll. I'm afraid the common people would have found it before they saw the king of Wu. What can be done?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuxie couldn't help but frown and said: "After all, this map of mountains, rivers and the country is where the sincerity of our Zhao country lies. How can the Wu people search it arbitrarily?"

"Furthermore, this picture is confidential. How can ordinary people see it?"

Yu Zheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, be prepared. You cannot place your hopes on others."

"this……"

Zhao Wuxie asked bravely: "I wonder how the warrior plans to assassinate Wu?"

Zhao Wuxie still trusted Yuzheng's character.

Yu Zheng's father was Bi Yang, a famous knight in the Jin Kingdom. By Yu Zheng's generation, his family fell into decline.

However, Yu Zheng, who comes from a family of knights, has good skills, and can easily climb over walls.

Zhao Wuxie sent someone to test Yu Zheng's martial arts skills.

Yu Zheng was framed and imprisoned, but he was able to kill more than a dozen soldiers by himself and then escape. He knew how to identify positions by listening to voices, and he was able to defeat many people while blindfolded.

Such ability is not something ordinary people can possess.

Moreover, Yu Zheng was brave and careful. It is said that when he was thirteen years old, he dared to kill people in the street and was famous for his courage.

Zhao Wuxie thought that only people like Yu Zheng dared to take great risks and go to Wu to assassinate Qing Ji.

In fact, Yuzheng does have such "ambitions"!

So he and Zhao Wuxie hit it off right away.

"Your Majesty, the Suihou Pearl is a luminous pearl. It cannot be seen unless it is dark night. If you can use the Suihou Pearl as an excuse and take advantage of the darkness at that moment, the common people can kill the King of Wu with one blow, and they will definitely succeed."

Yu Zheng squinted his eyes and said, "It's just that it's not appropriate to hide the weapon in the scroll. Before meeting the King of Wu, his eagles and dogs will definitely search the common people. What can be done?"

Can Yu Zheng, who has no weapons and bare hands, kill Qing Ji?

Obviously it's impossible.

"What should I do?"

Zhao Wuji felt worried for a while.
