Chapter 290: It's Dark Under the Lamp

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 the Wei state. Because he was good at both knight-errants and Confucianism, his friends included not only heroes like Zhang Er, but also great Confucians like Kong Yu...

Kong Kun's hometown is in Lu, but he has lived in Wei for a long time. When the Wei state was still alive, 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, they were still regarded as good teachers and helpful friends.

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 people was annihilated by Heifu's plan, he was immediately hunted by the Qin army and had no choice but to flee in panic.

Hui couldn't find Zhang Er's whereabouts, 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 chatted happily.

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 people's faces disappeared, and they hugged each other, laughed and were ecstatic!

This is not only a victory for the Chu State, but also the greatest victory of the Six Kingdoms against Qin in more than thirty years! Seven captains, 70,000 people! Qin State suffered such a heavy loss, which made people with ideals to restore the country rejoice. They will

This battle was regarded as a turning point in the Battle of Handan, and Lord Changping's act of righteousness was compared to Lord Xinling'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 had 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 what my brother said makes sense, 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 and his ambition has been somewhat weakened. However, since he was attacked by the Qin army, lost his territory, lost his guests, and lost his wife and son, he has returned to the sword.

In the days of licking blood, I became more and more bold and shrewd.

In response to Chen Yu's worries, Zhang Er smiled slightly and moved the small lit anointing oil 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: "If this lamp is lit, it will illuminate several feet of the room."

He pointed to the lamp again: "But, let's 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 Qin people have newly acquired a new land and cannot immediately transfer the Qin country's tricks. Instead of living in exile in the wilderness, it is better to stay here. Not only is it safer, but I have familiar connections.

, there are many people who have received my favor and can be used by us. Once the situation changes, the thoroughfare of Chen County will be convenient for us to do things!"

So Zhang Er and Chen Yu hid in Chen County, living among the streets and streets. As they expected, the tens of thousands of people in the city, plus those who fled from the war, totaled nearly one hundred thousand, and the Qin people

There is no way to check, so we can only ask each village to report the place of origin and names of the residents, and distribute new certificates and biographies to them.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu had been in Chen County for a long time. He spoke the local dialect very 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 faced the annexation of the five kingdoms. Although it was the victory of its sixth generation and had accumulated momentum for a long time, it was still inseparable from the fact that the Qin king had a very ambitious government and wanted to conquer the world. He had a greedy and despicable heart and 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 the Qin 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, Chen Yuchang bowed to Zhang Er and said, "The reason why Liang left Xinzheng was to dismiss three hundred servants, but his younger brother died without being buried. Why? He destroyed his family to save the country, 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. That Korean Zhang Liang acted very carefully, and every step was well planned.

The three people divided the work and cooperated: Zhang Liang was responsible for paying; 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 we can find an opportunity.

Just when he was suffering from no idea of ​​what to do, yesterday, at the north gate of Chen County, he met Shusun Tong who was hurriedly entering the city...

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

Shusun Tong agreed at the time, but when Chen Yu proudly informed Zhang Liang of the matter, Zhang Liang immediately stood up and asked him.

"How did Chen Jun know Shu Sun 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 his secrets secret and does not go out. The purpose of assassinating Qin is to

It is a secret, but Chen Jun told the matter to a person he has only known for less than a month. He is afraid that the matter will be leaked, and Shu Liang can no longer accompany him, so he has to say goodbye!"

After that, Zhang Liang unilaterally terminated the cooperation with the two of them and disappeared. While Chen Yu scolded Zhang Liang for being cowardly, he was also a little worried about Shu Sun 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 thought that this guy had rebelled against the revolution, so he lurked in the

Where he lives, there is this scene...

Chen Yu put the dagger close to Shusun 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 long ago."

Shusuntong explained: "When the King of Qin was offering sacrifices, thousands of Zhongchefu guards and Langwei were surrounded inside and outside the temple, and another thousand 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 in front and on the left and right. There were Lang Wei and Qin soldiers who searched every street and alley that King Qin passed through in advance, especially the pavilions facing the streets. They were all emptied..."

"The defense is so tight, Chen Jun, 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, if you want me to tell you, let's forget about it 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 gained the favor of the King of Qin and was recruited as a doctor by the King of Qin. If I had not responded, my head would have been 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 an internal response 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..."

Having said this, Chen Yu no longer had any 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 break up and 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 was no opportunity to assassinate Qin, I didn't gain anything..."

"I remember that after the fall 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 palm 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!"
