Qin Official

Chen Yu felt that he had been tricked by Shu Sun Tong.

Although Chen Yu was well-known in Zhao, he was from Daliang in Wei State because he was good at both knight-errants and Confucianism. His friends include not only heroes like Zhang Er, but also great Confucians like Kong Yu...

Kong Yu's hometown is in Lu, but he has lived in Wei for a long time. When the Wei state was still in existence, Chen Yu was a frequent visitor to Kong Kun's family, and they often consulted together. Although their friendship was not as close as that of Zhang Er, he was still regarded as a good teacher and helpful friend.

When the Wei Kingdom fell, Chen Yu went to Yangwu County and failed to rescue Zhang Er's wife and children. After his attempt to rob someone was annihilated by Heifu's plan, he was immediately hunted down by the Qin army and had to flee in panic. He couldn't find Zhang Er's whereabouts for a while, and he didn't dare to go back to Zhao Di's home, so he went to Kong Yu's house in Lu Di to seek refuge.

It was during his stay in Ludi for more than a month that he met Shusun Tong, a disciple of Kong Kun.

Although Shusun Tong was young, he was talented, proficient in Confucianism, and well-spoken. He quickly got along with Chen Yu, and the two had a great conversation.

However, Chen Yu did not stay in Lu for long. He found out about Zhang Er's whereabouts and went to meet him.

When the two of them were worrying about where to go in the future, Qin attacked Chu for the first time. Li Xin went deep into the situation, but was defeated by Xiang Yan. Lord Changping also rebelled against Qin and returned to Chu...

After hearing this, the two of them lost their sad faces, hugged each other, laughed and were ecstatic!

This was not only a victory for Chu, but also the greatest victory of the Six Kingdoms over Qin in more than thirty years! Seven captains, seventy thousand people! Qin's losses were so great that those who wanted to restore the country rejoiced. They regarded this battle as a turning point in the Battle of Handan, and compared Changping Lord's righteousness to Xinling Lord's stealing amulet to save Zhao.

As a result, in the next year, Chen County became the base camp of the anti-Qin forces. Koreans, Zhao people, Wei people, and even Yan people all gathered here, and Zhang Er and Chen Yu were no exception.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the King of Qin, whom they vilified as Fucha and Zhibo, organized 600,000 people to attack again in just one year, and was commanded by Wang Jian, who had great military exploits. Half a chance...

When Xiang Yan was defeated and retreated, Chen County was also captured by the Qin army. People from various countries in the city fled in panic. Chen Yu also wanted to leave, but Zhang Er persuaded him to stay.

Zhang Er said: "Xiang Yan has been defeated, and Chu will surely perish. Pei, Si, Lu, and Xue are all the territories of Qin. Qi is in seclusion and does not accept us. Dai's land is far away from Liaodong. Where can you and I go?"

Chen Yu was anxious: "Although my brother's words are reasonable, we cannot stay here. Chen is an important town in Huaibei, and the Qin army will be stationed with a large army. It is too dangerous."

Zhang Er is worthy of being a county knight. Although he has gained some weight after enjoying wealth for many years, his ambition has been somewhat weakened. But since he was attacked by the Qin army, lost his territory, lost his guests, and had his wife and son captured, he returned to the days of licking blood from the knife edge and became more bold and shrewd.

Regarding Chen Yu's worries, Zhang Er smiled slightly and moved the lit anointing oil lamp in a small lamp on the table in front of Chen Yu for him to see.

"What are you looking at?" Chen Yu didn't understand.

Zhang Er said: "This lamp is lit and will illuminate several feet of the room."

He pointed to the lamp again: "But, look at the size under the lamp!"

Chen Yu took a look and found that indeed, although the flames swayed on the wick and illuminated them, due to being blocked by the lamp itself, a small circle of darkness was created under the lamp...

"Under the bright light, there are also dark places. What's more, the people of Qin have a new land, and they can't imitate Qin's tricks. It's better to stay here than to live in exile in the wilderness. Not only is it safer, but I have familiar connections. , there are many people who have been favored by me and can be used by us. Once the situation changes, the thoroughfare of Chen County will be convenient for us to do things! "

Therefore, Zhang Er and Chen Yu hid in Chen County and lived in the streets of Lilu. Sure enough, as they expected, the tens of thousands of people in the city, plus those who fled from the war, totaled nearly one hundred thousand. The Qin people had no way of checking it. They could only ask each village to report the place of origin and names of the residents and give them. They distributed new tests and transmissions.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu had been in Chen County for a long time. He spoke the local dialect fluently, so he pretended to be from nearby Yangxia County and fled here. In this way, he obtained the "Good Citizen Certificate" issued by the Qin garrison.

Zhang Er shaved off his long beard and pretended to be his elder brother, working as a peddler. Chen Yu grew a beard and pretended to be his younger brother, hiding his identity as a Confucian scholar.

At that time, the two of them still had a glimmer of hope that Xiang Yan would create another miracle. However, things went against their expectations. Last month, news came that Xiang Yan died in battle, Shouchun fell, and the King of Chu was also captured...

The two of them didn't know that Lord Changping had succeeded to the throne, and they just thought that the Chu Kingdom was completely dead.

But at this time, another opportunity came to them: King Qin came to Chen County!

Zhang Er and Chen Yu had no idea at first, but a Korean who was also hiding in Chen County found them and made a suggestion:

"Qin Nan merged with the five countries. Although it was the victory of its sixth generation and had accumulated momentum for a long time, it was still inseparable from the Qin King's ambitious government. He wanted to conquer the world, had a greedy and despicable heart, and carried out the wisdom of self-improvement. A good counselor and general is like waving his arms, sending hundreds of thousands of troops to hunt. Therefore, within seven years, five countries have been destroyed. This is something that has never happened in ancient times, and the government is like a king that has never been seen in a hundred generations."

"Therefore, if you want to prevent Qin's annexation and restore the five kingdoms, it is no longer a matter of confrontation between the two armies. You should follow the example of Prince Dan of Yan and kill the King of Qin with an assassin. I heard that the eldest son of the King of Qin is also underage. If the King of Qin dies, the master of the country will be in doubt. The merger can be slowed down a bit."

After the Korean guest finished speaking, he bowed to Zhang Er and Chen Yuchang and said, "The reason why Liang left Xinzheng and dismissed three hundred servants, but his younger brother was dead without being buried, why? He destroyed his family to relieve the disaster, and he wanted to ask warriors to assassinate the King of Qin! Not only did he want to do something for South Korea’s revenge is also to win back some hope for the restoration of the country for people from all over the world! I hope Zhang Xia and Chen Jun can work together with me to achieve great things!"

…

Thinking back to this, Chen Yu felt a chill down his spine. The Korean Zhang Liang acted very carefully, and every step was well planned.

The three of them divided the work and cooperated: Zhang Liang was responsible for providing the money; Zhang Er was responsible for using his ranger connections to find Kong Wu, a strong and courageous warrior who had a grudge against Qin; Chen Yu was arranged to find out the King of Qin's whereabouts and defense situation , see if you can find an opportunity.

Just when he was struggling to figure out what to do, yesterday, at the north gate of Chen County, he met Shusun Tong who was hurriedly entering the city...

Chen Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned that Shusun Tong was going to see the King of Qin. Of course he would not let this Lu Ru do the assassination, but just asked him to help find out what was going on around the King of Qin.

Shusuntong agreed at that time, but after Chen Yu proudly told Zhang Liang and Zhang Er about the matter, Zhang Liang immediately stood up and asked him.

"How did Chen Jun know Shusun Tong?"

Chen Yu honestly told the story of their acquaintance, and Zhang Liang's expression changed even more: "As the saying goes, if a few things are not kept secret, it will lead to harm. That is why a gentleman keeps secret and does not let it out. The purpose of assassinating Qin is to It’s a secret, but Chen Jun told the matter to a person he’s only known for less than a month. I’m afraid the matter will be leaked, so Shu Liang can no longer accompany me, so I’m leaving!”

After that, Zhang Liang unilaterally terminated the cooperation with the two and disappeared. Chen Yu scolded Zhang Liang for being timid, but he was also a little worried about Shusun Tong.

When Zhang Er arranged for his men to see Shusun Tong following the King of Qin in and out of the Chen County palace in a swaggering manner, wearing a doctor's crown on his head, and saying goodbye to a Qin official, Chen Yu only thought that this guy had rebelled against the revolution, so he lurked in the Where he lives, there is this scene...

Chen Yu pressed the dagger close to Shu Sun Tong's neck: "Master Ru, you would rather be in jail than answer the call of the King of Qin. It's better for you. In just one day, you put on the doctor's clothes of the King of Qin and walked through the market with swagger. You are really a deceiver." Man! Did you surrender us to the King of Qin in exchange for wealth? My reward is worth five hundred taels of gold!"

"If I were like this, Qin officials and soldiers would have broken in with me."

Shusuntong explained: "When King Qin was offering sacrifices, thousands of Zhongche Fuwei and Langwei were surrounded inside and outside the temple, and another thousand people guarded the streets. When I entered, I was searched three times, and in two of them I was almost stripped naked. .”

"Then after King Qin went to the palace, he was escorted by more than a thousand people, and Lang Wei and Qin soldiers were searching in advance in every street and alley that King Qin passed by. Especially the pavilions facing the streets were all cleared..."

"The defense is so tight, Mr. Chen, you have no chance of doing what you want to do."

Although Chen Yu didn't say it directly, how could Shusun Tong not guess what they wanted to do?

So he gently pushed Chen Yu's sword away and sighed: "The King of Qin's defense is tight and there is no gap to take advantage of. Mr. Chen, please let me forget this matter this time. To assassinate him at this time is just a moth to the flame." , it is better to keep it useful and wait for the times to change."

Chen Yu was silent for a while, but then grabbed him and scolded him: "You have surrendered to Qin, of course you will say so!"

But Shusun Tong became serious: "Although my uncle Suntong has been scolded by others for being flattering, shameless, and unfaithful, he only adheres to the five principles of Confucianism, which are benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust. I think that in this turbulent world, these five things are more important than the so-called loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Therefore, since I promised Chen Jun, I will never regret betraying him!"

Chen Yu was silent after hearing this. Isn't it precisely because of this that he trusted Shusun Tong and asked him to help him find out the reality of King Qin's defense?

Shusun Tong kept up his efforts: "Furthermore, today I have pleased the King of Qin and was recruited as a doctor by the King of Qin. If I had not responded, my head would be hanging on the tower right now..."

"But it is precisely because of this that I can go to Xianyang to serve as a doctor for the imperial edict and to serve as internal correspondent for Chen Jun and others. The King of Qin is so happy that he has captured Mount Tai. Maybe there will be a move to enshrine Zen in the future, and he will definitely call all the doctors to accompany him. I am also there, and I may be able to inform you and help Zhang Xia and Chen Jun succeed..."

At this point, Chen Yu no longer had the murderous intention. He quickly pulled Shusun Tong up, bowed and apologized: "Chen Yu is stupid, I almost misunderstood you, sir!"

What he didn't know was that Shusun Tong would not put all his eggs in one basket. The King of Qin would like to please him, but the anti-Qin righteous people would not openly block the road...

Shusun Tong pulled the lapel of his clothes and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Besides, during today's trip, although I found that there is no opportunity to assassinate Qin, I haven't gained anything..."

"I remember that after the death of Wei, Mr. Chen went to my wife. He said that when he was in Wei, Zhang Daxia's wife was killed by a Qin official. He also used treachery to kill Wei soldiers Zhou Shi and hundreds of righteous men. Then what is the name of the Qin official?"

"His name is Heifu!"

Chen Yu gritted his teeth. It was the biggest shame in his life. Ever since that incident, he always felt that he owed his brother Zhang Er, and also felt sorry for Zhou Shi and the rangers and Wei soldiers who died.

"Of course!"

Shusun Tong raised his hand and said with a smile: "I went to see the King of Qin today and happened to meet that black man! He is also in Chen County!"
