The '''Fish Belly Blade''' (魚腸劍) was an ancient [[dagger]] wielded by the [[Assassins|assassin]] [[Zhuan Zhu]] to assassinate King {{Wiki|Liao of Wu}} in 515 BCE.

==History==
According to historian [[Sima Qian]]'s ''[[Record of the Grand Historian]]'', in order to get close to King Liao, Zhuan Zhu hid the dagger in the belly of a fish and offered it to the king as a gift. When the King let his guard down, Zhuan Zhu took out the dagger and promptly assassinated him with it, thus given the [[short blade]] its name.<ref name="Hidden Ones 2">''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' – [[The Hidden Ones (Part 2)]]</ref>

After Zhuan Zhu's death in 515 BCE, the dagger was kept and preserved by fellow assassins in [[Northern Treasury of the World|one]] of the many [[secret treasuries of the Chinese Assassins|secret vaults]] constructed as reserve armory of military gear and cache of funds for future ''{{wiki|youxia|xiake}}'', located in what became [[Qinghe Commandery]] during the [[Tang dynasty]].<ref name="Dynasty 34" />

In 756 CE, the vault's guardian [[Pei Min]], who served as the chief of the [[Mohist village|village]] above the vault, offered the dagger to the [[Hidden One]] [[Li E]]. Li E accepted the dagger and fashioned it to his arm sleeve as a [[Hidden Blade]], adding onto his weaponry that he planned to use to eliminate the [[Golden Turtles]] and the [[Yeluohe]].<ref name="Dynasty 34" />

The Fish Belly Blade went on to become his main choice of weaponry, using it to eliminate [[Feathered Forest|Yulin]] general [[Wang Chengye]] in [[Mawei Station]],<ref name="Hidden Ones 5">''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' –  [[The Hidden Ones (Part 5)]]</ref> and [[Yan]] Emperor [[An Lushan]] in [[Chang'an]].<ref name="Final">''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' –  [[Final Chapter: Assassination]]</ref>
