Chapter 295 Jing Ke (Part 1)

Handan, Zhao State.

Shen Fei, dressed in black casual clothes, stood dozens of meters in front of the city gate, looking up at the majestic city in front of him. In terms of momentum, Handan is not much inferior to Xianyang in Qin State. The blue-gray city wall seems to be narrating the vicissitudes of this ancient city.

Looking at the Handan City of the Warring States Period in front of him, Shen Fei couldn't help but think of several stories related to Handan City, the most famous of which is the idiom "Learning to walk in Handan".

After learning a little about the information of Zhao State, Shen Fei also roughly understood what the term "Learning to walk in Handan" meant. This is similar to the blind star-chasing in later generations. In the eyes of those people, even if the star farts, it is fragrant.

The reason is actually because of Zhao Wu. Zhao Wu's name is known all over the world. The dance of the Snow Girl is actually Zhao Wu, just like a learned person must want to go to the Confucian Xiaoshengxianzhuang. If you want to practice dancing, Zhao State is the best place.

Not only dance, but also vocal music, Zhao State is also unique in the world. The famous music master Kuang Xiu is from Zhao State, and he is the only inheritor of the famous song "High Mountains and Flowing Water".

If there is a major event in each country, it is proud to invite Kuang Xiu to the scene and play a song in person. Ying Zheng is preparing to invite Kuang Xiu to Xianyang recently.

With Kuang Xiu's identity, if he does not participate in political affairs, even if Zhao State is destroyed later, he is still a guest of honor in Xianyang Palace. But unfortunately, Kuang Xiu finally confronted Qin State because he was from Zhao State. Finally, after passing the music score to Gao Jianli, he died.

In addition to learning to walk in Handan, Zhao State also has two famous idioms, that is, the famous "Returning the Jade to Zhao" and "Carrying the Thorns to Ask for Guilt", the story of Lin Xiangru and Lian Po.

The story of returning the jade to Zhao sounds like how great Lin Xiangru is, but when you really understand the story behind it, you will find that this is purely an exaggeration.

No matter how valuable the Heshi Bi is, it cannot be worth fifteen cities, let alone one city. The gains and losses of territory are crucial to a country, so it is not so casual.

The uncle of Han Fei, Jinglun Jun, who lost his fiefdom in a bet with the Jade Tiger, did not end up in the hands of the Jade Tiger or the Iron Blood Alliance, but in the hands of the royal family.

The Iron Blood Alliance is powerful, but if they dare to take the fiefdom of a country because of a bet, then there will be no place for them in the seven countries. Under the situation of the lips and teeth being cold, no monarch of the seven powers of the Warring States Period would allow such an organization to exist.

In fact, the bet at that time involved many situations, among which Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou had a lot of plans, otherwise how could the Jade Tiger dare to take the bet of the fiefdom easily.

In fact, the Heshi Bi that was brought back to Zhao by Lin Xiangru was soon secretly sent to Qin by the King of Zhao. The Heshi Bi is now in the treasury of the Qin royal palace.

The power gap between Qin and Zhao was so large that Lin Xiangru's move seemed to win a lot of face for Zhao, but in fact it caused a lot of trouble for Zhao, and Lin Xiangru was soon hidden.

Now that it has not been made into a jade seal handed down by Ying Zheng, the Heshi Bi is just a piece of valuable jade. There is a treasure as famous as the Heshi Bi, which is the Suihou Pearl, but the whereabouts of this thing is unknown now, probably collected by that person.

As for the reconciliation between generals and ministers, it sounds like it has never been talked about in the past, but in fact it illustrates another problem, that is, the status of Zhao's literati is much higher than that of military generals. Who is Lian Po? He made great military achievements for Zhao and was one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period in later generations.

And who is Lin Xiangru? He is just a person who got promoted by chance with his eloquence. In this case, Lian Po, a famous general, went to ask for forgiveness, that is, those who don't know anything, will think that this is the reconciliation between generals and ministers.

If such a thing happened in Qin, it would never happen. However, it is not too surprising to happen in Zhao.

Zhao was separated from the three families who divided Jin, so Zhao, Wei, and Han were very vigilant about the powerful ministers below, especially the generals who held military power, and they were suppressed.

Otherwise, Lian Po would not have been temporarily replaced in the Battle of Changping.

Before Jin was separated from Han, Zhao, and Wei, it was the most powerful prince in the entire Central Plains and the prince with the most ability to unify the world. Unfortunately, because of the six nobles system of Jin, Jin was directly divided by the three families.

At that time, Jin and Qin were very friendly. There is an idiom called Qin Jin's good relationship, which comes from this. Unfortunately, Qin was too weak at that time and had no way to threaten Zhao, Wei, and Han. Otherwise, it might send troops to help Jin.

Among the seven powers in the Warring States Period, Zhao was the one that had the most restrictions on military generals. It was very similar to the situation in which civil officials dominated in later generations. If it were not for this, Zhao would not have two famous generals, and there were also Hudao knights under them, which made it so miserable.

The origin of this situation in Zhao was because of the experience of King Wuling of Zhao, which made the subsequent kings of Zhao very vigilant about the generals in the country. They would change their generals before the battle if they left any message.

King Wuling of Zhao was a legendary figure of Zhao. It was he who pioneered the Hufu Qishe. The Hudao knights under Zhao were also established at that time.

Abandoning the traditional chariots and switching to cavalry warfare, it can be said that the overall combat situation in the Central Plains was changed because of King Wuling of Zhao's Hufu Qishe. Now the seven powers in the Warring States Period are mainly cavalry warfare.

At that time, King Wuling of Zhao defeated the State of Qin very badly. Unfortunately, such a legendary hero made a mistake in his later years, which led to his starvation to death in the palace. As for the plan to attack the State of Qin, it naturally ended in failure.

If King Wuling of Zhao had not died suddenly due to a domestic coup, the State of Qin would have been in trouble.

Of course, this is just a legend. It is true that King Wuling of Zhao died because of a domestic coup, but being starved to death is a bit exaggerated. In fact, there are various statements about the death of King Wuling of Zhao, which is similar to Bai Qi of Qin.

As for the truth, perhaps only the parties involved at that time know.

However, King Wuling of Zhao died because of the rebellion of domestic generals at that time. This is beyond doubt, so the kings of Zhao later were extremely vigilant against domestic generals.

Now Lian Po is idle at home. Han Fei had seen him before and exchanged wine with him. It must be said that Han Fei's friends are extremely broad.

As for Li Mu, if it were not for the need to guard against the Huns on the border and the powerful threat of Qin, he would probably be idle.

This Li Mu did not die until the demise of the State of Zhao. Later, he helped Meng Tian when Meng Tian fought against the Huns. For Li Mu, the threat of the Qin State was no match for the Huns. In this era, Li Mu was a well-deserved national hero.

"It's a peaceful and prosperous time. You can't see the miserable situation of the whole city wailing after the Battle of Changping. I have to say that Bai Qi was really ruthless. He beat the State of Zhao back decades in one battle." The God of Killing Bai Qi is worthy of his reputation.

After entering Handan City, looking at the many lively restaurants and brothels, Shen Fei shook his head slightly. At this time when Ying Zheng was preparing for war, Han Fei and Changping Jun had their own plans, there was no sign of reform in the State of Zhao.

In fact, it's not just the Warring States Period. The six countries in the cave are now almost the same. Starting from Shang Yang's reform, each country has launched reforms one after another, but now, all reforms have died down.

Zhao State is famous for its vocal music and dance. There are many places like Zilanxuan and Zuimenglou. Even if it is daytime now, you can hear the lewd sounds inside on the roadside.

"Are there many people following?" Sensing the figure following behind him, Shen Fei chuckled and did not stay in Handan City for too long. Although Handan City is nice, it does not have what he needs.

"It really has the meaning of a scene in a martial arts novel, a night of murder on a dark and windy night." On the way to Yan State, entering a lonely tavern next to the road, looking at the almost full seats inside, Shen Fei suddenly remembered this scene.

Of course, it was not dark at this time, but it was approaching dusk. At this time, most of the people in the tavern were in groups of three or five, and almost everyone carried weapons with them.

The land of Yan and Zhao has been full of generous and tragic people since ancient times. In other words, these are the two countries with the most wandering swordsmen.

"Poison? That's right. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, as long as the poison is used properly, you can be poisoned." Looking at the tea poured by the child in front of him, Shen Fei laughed again.

Facing a master like Shen Fei, there are only two ways to kill him. One is to find enough masters to besiege him and tire him to death, and the other is to use poison. Now from the surrounding situation, the opponent seems to be using both methods.

Shen Fei did not deliberately hide his whereabouts along the way, nor did he eliminate the people who had been following him, so there were countless people who knew his whereabouts along the way, not to mention that there was a certain organization that had been secretly tipping off.

"It seems that you are ready. Remember, next time you pretend to be a waiter, change your shoes. A real waiter can't wear such good shoes."

Looking at the poisoned tea in front of him, Shen Fei did not drink it, but looked at the waiter next to him leisurely. Shen Fei's words made the waiter's face change immediately, and then the tea in his hand was immediately poured towards Shen Fei.

But the next moment, the tea that had been spilled flowed back and splashed directly onto the waiter's face. In an instant, the waiter's entire face began to rot, and with a scream, he immediately fell to the ground and died. At this time, his face was rotten beyond recognition, which showed how toxic this poison was.

"Kill." At the moment the waiter fell to the ground, the guests in other seats immediately drew out their weapons or weapons hidden under the table and rushed towards Shen Fei.

Then, the sword flashed, and all the assassins who rushed towards Shen Fei fell almost at the same time, with traces of blood flowing from their bodies. At this time, Shen Fei had already stood up from his seat, holding the black sword of black and white in his left hand, standing proudly in his original position, looking at the other people around him.

"Go." The people around him, as if they had not seen the corpse in front of them, shouted and rushed towards Shen Fei again.

"Death is the way to go, are you a dead warrior?" Seeing these people's eyes without any fluctuation, Shen Fei couldn't help but think of the Black Crow's Hundred Birds. Ji Wuye thought his Hundred Birds were very powerful. In fact, there are countless such organizations in this world.

"You want to buy time, I will give you time." The purpose of these assassins is certainly not to kill Shen Fei. The other party is not stupid, thinking that they can kill Shen Fei with poison or these people. In fact, these people are just used to buy time.

Under the color of seeing and hearing, the situation outside certainly cannot be hidden from him.

"What you see is not real, and the illusion is not false." Shen Fei's figure suddenly became blurred. He held the black sword in his left hand and took strange steps. He flashed left and right among the assassins. Shen Fei did not make a move during the period, but as time passed, the number of assassins besieging him gradually decreased. It was not until the last person was left that Shen Fei started to make a move.

The illusion of Yin-Yang magic can be used as an illusion. This illusion does not act on people's consciousness, but deceives people's vision, making them see false images. Shen Fei used this trick to make all the assassins see illusions.

Of course, Shen Fei also added the Taoist harmony with light and dust. Taoism and Yin-Yang school have the same roots and martial arts have many similarities.

Taoism gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.

"Speaking of He Guang Tong Chen, if it is used for assassination, it is really good." He Guang Tong Chen has a similar effect to Yin when it is cultivated to a high level, but it is a pity that neither the Taoist Tianzong nor the Renzong can allow people who can cultivate He Guang Tong Chen to be assassins.

The highest Taoist mental method is not something that everyone can practice. Is it crazy for such a person to be an assassin?

"When I return to the pirate world, should I assassinate a big shot? Should I look for the admiral, or the Warring States, or the three disasters under Kaido?" If you use Yin, you may not be able to kill the admiral by surprise, but you will definitely cause the admiral to be seriously injured.

Shen Fei did not return to the pirate world during this period, mainly because he wanted to continue to improve his strength. The admiral and the four emperors in the pirate world are already the ceiling strength. Although their strength is very strong, they are invincible in the world of Qin, but facing the director of the universe family planning office, they are still far behind.

In this case, we can only continue to look for the world. After things here are arranged, Shen Fei should continue to explore.

While helping Ying Zheng, he did not neglect his own cultivation. This time he returned to the pirate world, one was to buy a batch of Den Den Mushi, and the other was to get a lot of sea king food.

"Shoot." Just as Shen Fei was thinking, someone outside suddenly shouted, and as the voice fell, a large number of rockets shot towards the tavern.

Bang, bang, bang.

As a large number of crossbow arrows shot into the tavern, the tavern immediately turned into a sea of ​​fire, but even so, the crossbow arrows did not stop shooting.

"It's really a big deal. Gai Nie was only facing the three hundred dragon and tiger cavalry of the Qin Dynasty in Cangyue Valley, but now there are more than three hundred people outside."

In the tavern, where Shen Fei stood, an ice pillar sealed him inside one meter around his body. Whether it was the flame or the crossbow arrow, it was blocked by the ice pillar outside the body. Sensing the number of people gathered outside, the white sword immediately appeared in his right hand, and then Shen Fei began to step forward.

The moment he took a step, the entire tavern that had turned into a sea of ​​fire instantly turned into an ice sculpture, and even the burning flames were frozen inside, white dew against frost.
