公子止王曰：「趙王田獵耳，非為寇也。」 The prince restrained the king and said: 'The King of Zhao is merely hunting, not invading.'

居頃，復從北方來傳言曰：「趙王獵耳，非為寇也。」 Before long, word came again from the north: 'The King of Zhao is only hunting, not invading.'

公子曰：「臣之客有能深得趙王陰事者，趙王所為，客輒以報臣，臣以此知之。」 The prince replied: 'Among my retainers there are those who can obtain detailed knowledge of the King of Zhao's private affairs. Whatever the King of Zhao does, my retainers immediately report to me. This is how I know.'
