More than ten days later, Zhang Liang and his party arrived at Tan County, the capital of Donghai County. After everyone entered the city, they saw the streets were busy and very lively. A few people entered a hotel and sat around a table by the window. After a while, everyone ordered a table of sumptuous food and wine and started eating. Just as the five of them were eating with gusto, they suddenly heard a shouting sound coming from outside the window. Zhang Liang looked up and saw a large carriage coming from the opposite direction. Because of the speed of the carriage, it even knocked over the table of a stall owner on the roadside. But the car stopped immediately. I saw a man in Confucian uniform getting out of the car. He walked up to the stall owner, called him senior brother, said it was urgent, and apologized to the stall owner. When the stall owner was satisfied, he boarded the car and left.
Zhang Liang felt strange, so he turned around and asked the shopkeeper who was that person on the bus? Why do we call businessmen senior brothers? The shopkeeper replied: "You are from other places, what do you do?" Zhang Liang stood up and saluted and said: "I am from Surabaya, and I want to find a teacher for learning, but I have traveled many places and haven't met a good teacher." The shopkeeper smiled and said: "There is a famous Lord Canghai on the edge of the East China Sea. He is a wise man. Why don't you visit him?" Zhang Liang asked in surprise: "Can you tell me the details?" The shopkeeper said: "I I only know the name, but I don’t know the details. The person on the bus just now and the stall owner are both students of Cang Haijun. The person on the bus is now an official in the county, but the stall owner abandoned Confucianism and became a businessman. Do you want to know about Cang Haijun? If so, just ask him."
Zhang Liang was very happy after hearing what the shop owner said, so he hurried out and invited the stall owner to come into the shop for a chat. The stall owner came to the shop, looked at Zhang Liang and asked doubtfully: "Why are you so polite?" Zhang Liang replied humbly: "I am from Surabaya, and I came here to visit the great master. I heard that you are a student of Lord Canghai. , I would like to ask about Lord Canghai." Seeing Zhang Liang's politeness, the stall owner said, "I am indeed a student of Lord Canghai. My mentor is a Confucian giant with profound knowledge and a reputation on the seaside. This is because the Qin State advocates killing. , my husband moved to the seaside and recruited disciples to teach. I was just a prostitute under his disciples. Just because the emperor expelled many Rujia disciples in Mount Tai last year, I was one of them. From then on, seeing that learning was of no use, I gave up Confucianism and became a businessman. , specializes in supporting parents. The sage said: "On the journey of the great road, the world is for the public; since the great road is hidden, the world is home." If the noble man wants to visit Lord Canghai, he goes to Qu County on the coast of the East China Sea to find him. No one knows it. ." Zhang Liang was very happy after hearing this and thanked him again and again.
The famous Lord Canghai was originally from the state of Lu and was a close friend of Kong Yu. When Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, he fled to the seaside with his family. Because he had great ambitions, he used the sea as inspiration, and was nicknamed "Canghaijun", also called "Canghaijun". He then recruited disciples from all over the country. Just because the First Emperor despised the scholars in Mount Tai, many people came to seek refuge with him. Cang Haijun was giving a lecture that day, and suddenly someone came in and reported: "A distinguished gentleman wants to see you, sir." Cang Haijun asked him to bring in the guest. After a while, Zhang Liang came to the courtyard. He walked into the main hall where Cang Haijun was giving lectures and saluted the great sage. Cang Haijun looked carefully and saw that Zhang Liang was of medium height and was wearing plain clothes. Although he was dusty, he was handsome and handsome. Especially when he had a heroic spirit between his brows, he felt very happy and motioned for him to sit down first. .
Zhang Liang sat on a seat at the back, and then he carefully observed Mr. Cang Hai. He saw that this man had a handsome appearance and a strong spirit. His eyes were like the bright moon on the river, and his body was like the ancient pine on the top of Mount Tai. He had a strange appearance. Extraordinary and extraordinary in character. On each side of him stood a book boy, one holding tea and the other fanning a fan, serving the gentleman with meticulous care. Looking at the central hall, there is a portrait of Confucius hanging, and a simple table below. On the table, there are pu niches, square tripods, fruits, water, wine and other items. Incense smoke lingered in the niche, but the table was spotless. There were two pots of ancient plums on the left and right sides of the table. Although the whole layout is simple, it is very elegant and unique.
Half an hour later, Cang Haijun finished his lecture. After the disciples dispersed one by one, Lord Cang Hai met Zhang Liang. When they met, Unexpectedly, Lord Cang Hai bowed first, and Zhang Liang was so flustered that he quickly knelt down and said, "Sir, you are a great sage from the East China Sea. How dare I accept such a great gift?" Lord Cang Hai helped Zhang Liang up and asked with a smile, "Sir, Where are you from? What are you doing here?" Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Liang bowed again and said bluntly: "Sir, you have lofty ambitions and came here because you were avoiding the Qin Dynasty. He is really a virtuous and refined man! Junior I don’t dare not to tell the truth, right?” Lord Canghai said gently: “Please tell me.” Zhang Liang said impassionedly: “I am a Korean, because my ancestors served as prime ministers of five Korean kings, so I am very attached to my country. Deeply. I hate the Qin State for relying on the army of tigers and wolves to destroy people's countries and destroy people's families. I and the Qin State are sworn in! And because the junior is a descendant of a noble, Ying Zheng ordered the arrest. I don't want to be a slave to the subjugation of the country, and I was forced to have no choice but to take the risk. Now I have traveled thousands of miles to ask you, sir, to find me a warrior who is determined to destroy the Qin Dynasty. He can join me in assassinating Ying Zheng and turning the tide!" Cang Haijun heard this. , was so shocked that he frowned and said: "You kid, do you want to imitate Prince Yan's Pill? You are just a mere scholar, and you want to make a hole in the sky. Is this something you can do?" Zhang Liang said calmly: "Mr. , Zhuanzhu, Yurang, Nie Zheng, Jing Ke and others, whether successful or failed, have left their names throughout the ages. I am looking for a hero like them to conspire with Qin, why not?" Lord Cang Hai asked in reply. : "Even if you kill Ying Zheng, you can't go back to the past. Why are you wasting your efforts?" Zhang Liang said with hatred: "I hate Ying Zheng deeply. Killing him can alleviate the hatred in my heart a little! Mr. You have many disciples, and there must be heroes who hate Qin under your disciples. Please recommend me a brave and heroic warrior to help me assassinate Ying Zheng!" Lord Canghai said in surprise: "Fighting a tiger with bare hands or risking your life to cross the river, I won't fight with you. You are such a reckless and rough man discussing important matters. Get out of here quickly and stop talking nonsense!" Zhang Liang couldn't kneel down and begged for help again and again. Cang Haijun had no choice but to say: "Okay, you get up first and we'll talk about it in three days!" After saying that, he waved his sleeves and walked into the back hall. Zhang Liang had no choice but to withdraw.
Three days later, Zhang Liang came to visit him. Cang Haijun said: "This matter is very important. I can't help you. You can go back!" Zhang Liang said anxiously: "I know that sir is worried about my death. Even so, I will not go back. Please enlighten me. Right?" Cang Haijun hesitated for a while and then said: "You can come in three days." Zhang Liang withdrew. Three days later, Zhang Liang came to see him again. Cang Haijun said: "The matter is very important. You are young and I can't help you. You should go back!" Seeing that Cang Haijun still refused, Zhang Liang knelt down and cried and said: "Junior has made up his mind. If Mr. If you don't help me, I'd rather die here!" After saying that, he burst into tears. Seeing this, Mr. Canghai also shed tears silently, and said very sadly: "Oh! Will you come back in three days?" After saying this, he sighed for a long time and then walked into the inner room.
Zhang Liang waited anxiously for another three days before arriving at Cang Haijun's residence again. After the two met, Cang Haijun asked with a heavy heart: "I thought you would think about the seriousness of the matter and retreat these days, but I didn't expect you to be so persistent. I see that you are strong-willed, honest and reliable. You recommend a person! This person's name is Shilizi. His father was killed by Qin general Wang Jian. He also hates Qin and hates Yingzheng to the core. I will call him out to meet you now. Everything will work or fail. It's your business, don't come to see me again in the future!" Zhang Liang was overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed and thanked him: "This junior is plotting against Qin, and is determined to repay Korea. God can tell you! Is there any reason to betray sir?"
Cang Haijun summoned Shi Lizi to meet Zhang Liang. As expected, this Shilizi was tall, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, broad cheeks and short beard. He has a red scarf on his head, a crimson coat, and a maroon ribbon around his waist. He is really majestic and majestic. Zhang Liang fell in love with him as soon as he saw him. He knelt on the ground and said impassionedly: "Mr. Meng introduced me to me and I know that the strong man has extraordinary abilities. It is a great honor to meet you today!" Shi Lizi also returned the greeting to Zhang Liang and said: "Listen to your respected master, sir. I am not at odds with Ying Zheng, and I am also at odds with him. Only when you and I share the same hatred and revenge, can we be considered a man!" Zhang Liang saw his master Li Zi's heroic spirit and thought he had met a close friend, so he said readily: "Strengthen Qin with tigers and wolves. The master of the army has destroyed people's countries and destroyed people's families. Now he wants to kill them all. It is really too much to bully people. Although I am not talented, I am determined to assassinate Ying Zheng and avenge the people of the six countries! Only hate me. We are so weak that we cannot fulfill this great wish on our own. Now that we have a strong man, our revenge is just around the corner!" Shi Lizi said: "My ancestors lived on the seaside for a long time and made a living by fishing and hunting. They did not compete with the world, but they suffered the same fate. Qin invaded and my father was brutally killed. Qin and I are no longer together! I have gone to Xianyang several times to assassinate Ying Zheng, but my mentor tried hard to persuade me to stop. It is God's will to meet the young master today! I am willing to go with the young master. In the face of hardships and dangers, we must eliminate violence and bring peace to the world!" The two of them held hands and shed tears, as if they regretted seeing each other so late. Zhang Liang was overjoyed to see that he had a helper at this time, so he and Shi Lizi said goodbye to Lord Canghai.
When the two of them came out, Zhang Liang first introduced Hua Wuhai and the other four to Shi Lizi. After meeting, they arrived at the entrance of the village. Zhang Liang sold some more incense and wine, and then went to the Dragon King Temple at the entrance of the village to kneel down and worship. Shi Lizi took the wine and swore to the Dragon King: "By God, my master Lizi and Zhang Liang today became brothers with different surnames. The purpose is to jointly assassinate Ying Zheng. If there is a second intention, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" Zhang Liang also said so! After drinking, he swore an oath: "As witnessed by the gods, today I, Zhang Liang, and Shi Lizi have sworn sworn brothers with different surnames. The purpose is to assassinate Ying Zheng and avenge the people of the Six Kingdoms. If you have two minds, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" After the two said this, I swear, I will drink all the wine in one gulp. According to age, Shi Lizi is the elder brother and Zhang Liang is the younger brother. Then they bowed to the Dragon King a few times, and everyone went to the restaurant to celebrate.
The next day, Zhang Liang said to Shi Lizi: "I want to make a weapon for my brother. What kind of weapon are you good at?" Shi Lizi said: "I can't carry spears and axes, and I'm afraid that my bows and arrows will miss the target." , it is better to make a big iron cone. If you throw it from a distance, Ying Zheng will be shattered to pieces!" Zhang Liang was overjoyed. So everyone found a blacksmith shop and explained to the shop owner about making cones. The shopkeeper was shocked and said: "You are desperate, knowing clearly that the government has an order. To build weapons privately is to exterminate the clan." Zhang Liang said: "You are overthinking. We are hunters. We make iron awls for self-defense. We have no other choice." It's his wish." The blacksmith agreed. Zhang Liang asked again and again, but the blacksmith still refused to make the cone. Shi Lizi was furious after being rejected so many times, so he grabbed the blacksmith and wanted to beat him violently. When the blacksmith saw that his posture was not right, he quickly said: "Hero, calm down, I will take over the job. I just ask you to keep it a secret for me, otherwise I will be dead!" Zhang Liang said of course he would keep it a secret.
After the blacksmith agreed to make the cone, he asked Shi Lizi how heavy it would be. Shi Lizi said: "Make a large iron vertebra weighing 120 kilograms." When the blacksmith heard this, he was surprised and said: "Hero, it's not that I won't make it for you, I'm afraid you won't be able to lift it once I make it." Liang Que said: "Master, don't worry. This brother of mine is very powerful. It's our business if he can't lift it. You don't have a lot of eggs." The blacksmith hesitated for a while, then pointed to a large copper incense burner at the door and said, "Good man. , this incense burner is a treasure in front of the Dragon King Temple at the entrance of the village. It was damaged over time, so the villagers brought it to me in a large carriage for me to repair it. This treasure weighs at least a thousand kilograms. If you move it from the left to the right of the door, I will obey. I'll make you a cone right away. If you can't move, hey! Let me forget it, right?" After hearing this, Shi Lizi strode out the door without saying a word. He looked at the incense burner, then rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the edge of the incense burner and hugged it hard, then slowly raised it over his head, and then turned around three times in front of the door, while the onlookers cheered in unison. Shi Lizi placed the incense burner on the right side of the door again without even taking a breath. The blacksmith was also a strong man. When he saw the situation in front of him, he panicked and crawled on the ground and kept shouting: "Grandpa Strong, you are really a god descending from heaven! I, a villain, can't see Mount Tai!" Zhang Liang and others He was also secretly surprised, so he stepped forward to congratulate him and said, "Brother, you really have extraordinary powers. You are really evil and reborn!" The blacksmith promised to make the cone immediately.
A few days later, Shi Lizi and others came to the blacksmith shop to get a cone. As soon as they entered the door, they saw that the iron spine had been built, and they were very happy. Zhang Liang said to the blacksmith: "It is inevitable that outsiders will know about your cone making. Why don't you open your business in another place and I will give you fifty taels of gold as compensation." The blacksmith was very happy and took the gold with a smile. Then he packed up his belongings and left Qu County.
Then Shi Lizi led Zhang Liang and others to his home and said to his mother, "My child is going out to study, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back soon. I hope my mother won't worry about it." When her mother heard this, she became worried and shed tears. He said: "My son, there is no need to hide it. You often want to avenge your father. How could you not know, mother? Now that a stranger suddenly comes to visit, my son must be in trouble!" After saying this, he started to cry. Shilizi said: "Mom, there is no need to be sad. When the child passes away, you must avenge your father!" He said goodbye to his mother. The mother held her son's head and just cried bitterly. The situation was so touching. Zhang Liang gave Shi Lizi's wife five hundred taels of gold to accept. Shi Lizi refused. Zhang Liang said: "My elder brother and I have become brothers. Your mother is my mother. Why shouldn't a son respect his mother?" Shi Lizi then asked his wife to accept it. Everyone said goodbye to the teacher's wife.
Zhang Liang and others then came to Chengfu County. He entrusted his family's affairs to Feng Qi, his hometown, and then went to a very quiet place outside the city to practice. A few people insisted on going out early and returning late to practice martial arts and archery. Shi Lizi specializes in aiming at the target and throwing iron cones. From then on, everyone waited for the opportunity and prepared to kill the First Emperor.
