Chapter 209 The Assassination Plan of the Mo Xia

Zhao State, Handan.

In terms of urban area, Handan is undoubtedly a big city, and it is the top big city in China.

But in this worldly city, not everyone can have a big place to live.

Like many cities in this era in the world, people of different levels live in Handan City. The northward direction, the poorer the people they live in.

In the northwest corner of Handan City, you can see a small alley after passing through a place where vendors and butchers sell.

When you walk into the alley, you will find that both sides of the road are filled with all kinds of domestic waste and feces, and the smell is so stinking. A few tattered clothes are floating outside the house like a pigpen, and there is a stench that makes people feel uncomfortable in the air.

After a spring rain, the already narrow dirt road in the alley suddenly became a little bumpy when it was poured by the rain. Several unclothed naughty children jumped around in the small puddle excitedly, completely regardless of the splashing mud spots on their bodies.

The laughter of the children added a little bit of vitality to this dead alley, but that's all.

This is a place where even the most dedicated officials in Handan City should stay away from it. It has a very famous name in later generations - slums.

If you continue walking a few hundred steps along the playful place of the naughty children, you will find that there is a small house at the end of the alley.

Although this small house looks very dilapidated, compared to the surrounding sheds that are no different from pigpens, this small house can even be regarded as the word "luxury".

In this small house, several men with worn clothes and seemingly sloppy clothes were whispering to discuss something.

A tall black bearded man said angrily: "In order to please King Qin, that giant actually asked us to assassinate King Zhao. It's simply nonsense!"

As soon as the black-bearded man said this, someone shouted: "Ju Zhong, don't speak at will and humiliate the giant boy!"

Ju Zhong snorted and retorted unwillingly: "He giant followed the King of Qin every day and received official positions, but asked us to come and do this dangerous thing! You don't think about it. If the assassination of King Zhao succeeds, we will definitely be destroyed by Zhao and will not be able to return to Qin!"

As soon as Ju Zhong said this, the people in the cottage were silent.

After a while, someone spoke, "Can you contact the local Mo Xia?"

Ju Zhong snorted very dissatisfied when he heard this, saying, "How can you not go?"

Someone said: "You are from Zhao and have been in Handan for many years. You should be responsible for this matter."

Ju Zhong spat and said, "We are all Mo Heroes. Can I do it, can you do it?"

After complaining a few words, Ju Zhong said, "Now King Zhao defeated Qin in Changping, and Zhao State respected him. I hope he led Zhao State to dominate the world. How could he be willing to harm his life? This is not in line with the way of a wanderer."

After a pause, Ju Zhong said again: "Now that Zhao King Dan is building the north and south armies. Anyone who is selected will be given a fourth-class civilian title and will enjoy the treatment of slaves in the mansion. Now most of the rangers in Handan are selected. Anyone who is selected will call Zhao Dan the wise king. How can this be achieved?"

Several Mo Heroes in the hut looked at each other and then said, "Where is the Mo Si of Zhao?"

"Mo Shi?" Ju Zhong sneered and said, "Do you know that King Dan of Zhao met with King Han and Wei in Zhongmu a few days ago, saying that he wanted to calm the disputes in the world? This is exactly the way of love and attack. The Mo Shi of Zhao praised him greatly. How could he help us?"

Someone said, "How about Mo Bian?"

Ju Zhong rolled his eyes and looked too lazy to answer.

"Mo Bian? It's just a verbal person, what's the use!"

The hut fell into a dead silence again.

A few Mo Heroes looked at me and I looked at you, and they felt so painful.

These people all come from the Mo family, and are the Mo heroes among the Mo family.

With the changes of the times, the Mohist school is also undergoing changes subtly.

After the death of Mo Zhe, the founder of the Mo family, their disciples had different interpretations of Mo Zhe's theory and thus split into several schools. One of them was headed by the Fu family and went west to join King Huiwen of Qin, which is the so-called "Mo of the Fu family".

With the increasing prosperity of Qin, the Fu family's ink became more and more powerful, and began to be recognized by other Mo schools. The contemporary host of the Fu family's ink was also selected as a contemporary giant of the Mo family.

In the view of the Fu family, the premise of wanting to achieve a mutual love and not an attack is not to end the attack of the princes, because "the dispute between the princes is endless."

The real way should be to support one of the princes to annex all the other princes, so there will be no war. This is what is called "the unity of the world and the whole world can be achieved without an attack."

Since it has been recruited by Qin, this branch of Fu's ink is of course aimed at helping Qin's unification.

It was in this context that after the Qin State was defeated in Changping that the contemporary Mohist genius sent a team of Mohist heroes to Handan to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Wangdan.

Because this opera Zhong was from Handan, Zhao State and was once famous in the Zhao State Rangers circle, he was appointed as the guide and person in charge of the trip.

Several Mo Heroes came with ambitions and were about to become famous in one fell swoop. However, when they came here, they realized that the difficulty of this assassination was completely beyond their expectations.

Among the giant's explanation and the speculations of several Mo Heroes, a monarch like Zhao Dan who "promotes troops all year round but does not observe the sufferings of the people" should be disgusted, so many people should be willing to help themselves.

But the fact is exactly the opposite. Zhao Dan's reputation in Zhao State is almost comparable to King Ji of Qin.

If Ju Zhong hadn't been careful enough and had never expressed the purpose of assassinating Zhao Dan when contacting others, then these Mo Heroes would have suffered a long time ago.

But without the support of local rangers and Mo Shi, Ju Zhong and others would not be able to know Zhao Dan’s whereabouts or meet Zhao Dan, how could they complete the assassination mission?

The facts made the Mo Heroes a little discouraged.

After a while, someone whispered: "Why don't we just turn to Qin?"

Ju Zhong said with a sneer and said, "If there is no success, how can the giant save our lives?"

All the Mo Heroes look at me and I look at you. This time there is really no way out.

In fact, this is not the first time such a scene has been staged here.

At this moment, Ju Zhong suddenly slapped his thigh: "I have it!"

Everyone was surprised and happy when they heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How?"

Ju Zhong said: "I visited a Handan ink worker the day before yesterday. I heard what he said. Zhao Wangdan had given a reward to the craftsmen of the Hundred Workshop. If anyone can make paper, he would reward tens of thousands of gold and third-class civil servants, and Zhao Wangdan would personally receive it!"

The heroes looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces looked a little suspicious.

Someone said: "Zhao Wang Dan is the king of a country, how could he meet these craftsmen? And how could this paper be made?"

Ju Zhong smiled and said, "I don't know."

Everyone rolled their eyes one after another, you don’t understand, you’re just laughing.

Ju Zhong then said: "But with the respect of Zhao Wangdan, his words must be true. My Mo family is good at being a hundred schools of thought. Although this papermaking technique is difficult, how can it be difficult for the Mo family? I want to write a letter to the Giant, and asked the Giant to send the Mo brother Lingzi to Zhao. When the papermaking process successfully meets Zhao Wangdan, it will be the time when Zhao Wangdan died!"
