At the end of the Warring States period, the State of Qin kept sending troops to occupy other countries.
In order to resist Qin, Prince Dan of Yan asked Jing Qi to assassinate the King of Qin.
Jing Qi and his assistant Qin Wuying bring the head of Fan Yuqi and a map of the Dugong region of Yan to the King of Qin.
The King of Qin was very happy to know about this and received them.
Jing Qi, who was in front of them, was holding a box with Fan Yuqi's head in his hands, while Qin Wuying was following behind with a map.
The King of Qin asks Jing Qi to bring him the map that Qin Wuying is holding, so Jing Qi presents the map.
When the King of Qin opened the map, a shiny dagger was revealed.
Jing Qi grabs the King of Qin's sleeve with his left hand, and with his right hand, he takes the dagger and stabs the King of Qin.
In the end, Jing Qi missed the King, but was killed by the King's guards.
Five years later, Qin destroyed Yan and unified the world.
The idiom of the real intention is revealed in the end comes from the story of Jing Qi's stabbing of the King of Qin.
And it is used to describe the final development of a matter, when the real intention of the matter is finally realized.
