Under the shroud of the night, Xiangyang City looked so majestic and solemn, and on a cold night, there were no people on the road, and even the patrol team was reduced by half.

However, a dark shadow kept shuttling in this quiet city, like a bolt of lightning, quickly evading the patrol and heading towards the government office in Xiangyang City.

This dark shadow is none other than Chen Dao.

Chen arrived in Xiangyang City in the evening, entered the city when the city gate was about to close, and then hid in a relatively remote place in the city, recuperating his energy, waiting for the evening, ready to risk his life to complete the task given to him by Liu Bei.

Xiangyang City was originally prosperous, and even in winter, the night was relatively lively. However, since the Cai family and his party were killed, because Liu Qi killed too many people, and the curfew began to be implemented, Xiangyang City was like a dead city at night, without any vitality.

However, the people are very supportive of this, because when the Cai family was in power, Xiangyang City was more lively at night than during the day, casinos and brothels were very popular, but they were not something that ordinary people could consume, most of them were the sons and daughters of the Cai family, making waves here.

Because, whether it is a casino or a brothel in the city, they are all opened by Cai Mao, so some of the people who come to patronize are to relieve their worries and boredom, and some are for pure filial piety, in order to please Cai Mao.

When Cai's party was killed, all the properties under Cai's name were confiscated, including three gambling houses, four brothels, and prostitutes in brothels. They were all forced to be prostitutes by Cai Mao. Liu Qi knew that after the road. He sent someone to secretly send them back to their hometown, and kept the secret from them.

After that, Xiangyang City began to implement a curfew, as long as it was night, the city was very quiet, and the people had a good living environment from then on, at least at night, no longer had to be disturbed by noisy sounds.

Chen waited until the second half of the night. Only then did he start to act, he had been to Xiangyang City a few times before, and he had long been very clear about the road to the mansion, he skillfully avoided the patrol team, and came directly to the back door of the mansion, pricked up his ears and heard that there was no movement inside, so he used his vigorous skills, crossed the high wall, and jumped directly into the mansion.

It was the second half of the night. Most of the people in the palace had already fallen asleep, and the soldiers standing guard were also yawning constantly. Dizziness and drowsiness.

Although Chen Zhi came in, the mansion was so big, and he had no idea where Liu Qi was sleeping. As a result, Chen Zhi had to knock one of the guards unconscious, then drag him to the rockery, extract a confession from him, and ask where Liu Qi was.

"I'm sorry." Chen Zhi asked where Liu Qi was, and suddenly a dark smile appeared on his face, and he said to the guard.

Before the words arrived, I saw that the knife in Chen Zhi's waist quickly came out of the scabbard, and the knife fell from his hand, and the guard's head fell to the ground, and he was killed by Chen Zhi without even screaming. Chen Zhi has always done things neatly and neatly, never dragging mud and water, and anyone who has met him, he will never leave anything alive, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to himself.

After Chen arrived at the mouth, he did not go directly to Liu Qi's room as the man said, but arrested three guards in a row, and then forced them to question, and when the answers were all the same, he was bold and went towards the room where Liu Qi was.

Of course, the guards who were forced to question by Chen Zhi finally could not escape the doom of death, and they were all wiped out. This is Chen Zhi's prudence, as well as his consistent style of doing things, he doesn't trust anyone except himself, if he wants to not make mistakes, he can only work more, and when the answer is the same, he dares to act.

Chen Zhi cautiously approached Liu Qi's room little by little, there were very few guards along the way, Chen Zhi couldn't help but feel that the guards in the palace belonged to the type of outsiders who were strong and middle-class, the outer guards were three layers inside, and the outer three floors, but when they arrived at the inner mansion, the guards basically couldn't see a few, and they were replaced by family members and maids.

However, in this way, it was extremely beneficial to Chen Zhi, and when he came in, he also designed an escape route.

It was late at night, and there were only a few housekeepers on duty in the inner mansion where Liu Qi lived, and they kept yawning there.

Suddenly, a black shadow quickly flashed in front of them, and before the family could react, they were all knocked unconscious by Chen Zhi.

At this moment, there was a sudden fire outside the inner mansion, and there was a loud noise, and the patrol team found the guards who had been killed by Chen Zhi, and realized that an assassin had broken in, so they immediately gathered all the guards and shouted to catch the assassin.

Chen Zhi heard the noise outside, but he didn't panic, because there was still a distance of more than a hundred steps to get here from the outside, and this distance of more than 100 steps was enough for him to cut off Liu Qi's head.

Without further ado, Chen Zhi immediately pulled out a short blade that he was carrying, the cold light flashed, and the edge was exposed. He gently pushed open the door, and in the faint light outside, he vaguely saw two people lying on the bed. He crept in, and when he came to the side of the bed, he adjusted his eyes to the darkness, and finally saw two people lying on the bed, one of whom was a man and the other was a woman.

At this time, the noise of catching the assassin and the sound of hurried footsteps were getting closer and closer to Chen Zhi, who was still unhurried, stretched his neck, and took a closer look at the man lying on the bed, only to see that the man had a dark face, a beard hanging on his chin, and a slightly old face.

When Chen Zhi saw this, his brows couldn't help frowning, he once had a relationship with Liu Qi, and with his ability to never forget, it can be concluded that the person in front of him is not Liu Qi, but - Liu Biao!

"Oops!" Chen Zhi suddenly felt a thrill in his heart, he suddenly realized that he had made a fatal mistake, when he asked the four guards, he only asked where Jingzhou Mu lived, but did not ask Liu Qi by name.

Liu Biao is the pastor of Jingzhou, and Liu Qi is also the pastor of Jingzhou, but Liu Biao is Liu Qi's son, Liu Qi has only been in office for a few days, and in the eyes of the guards and the family, Liu Biao is still the pastor of Jingzhou.

At this moment, it was too late for Chen Zhi to regret it, just when he wanted to quickly withdraw out, but unexpectedly, Liu Biao suddenly opened his eyes, and when he saw Chen Zhi appear in front of him, he was suddenly surprised, and hurriedly opened his mouth wide, and just wanted to scream, but Chen Zhi had already covered his mouth with a big hand.

Liu Biao resisted as much as he could, and also woke up the woman who was asleep next to him, and when the woman saw all this, she suddenly opened her throat and let out a sharp soprano cry: "Ah-"

The sudden appearance of the situation made Chen Zhi suddenly murderous, his short blade quickly slashed through the woman's neck, and the scream of "ah" stopped abruptly, and a stream of blood gushed out directly from the neck, splashing Chen Zhi and Liu Biao.

Liu Biao was even more frightened, but his mouth was covered and he couldn't say anything, but his limbs were trying their best to resist Chen Dao.

Wrong! And it's a big mistake!

Chen Zhi's heart was also a burst of loss, such a perfect plan, just because of his own negligence, he missed the opportunity to kill Liu Qi, and ran to Liu Biao instead.

Now that Liu Biao has seen his face clearly, if he doesn't kill him, he will implicate Liu Bei. So, Chen Zhi quickly made a decision in his heart, since he was already wrong, then he would be wrong, and he would kill Liu Biao first, and then find an opportunity to kill Liu Qi.

Chen Zhi's eyes showed a fierce light, holding the short blade's right hand, and quickly inserted the sharp short blade directly into Liu Biao's heart.

Liu Biao's heart soon stopped beating, and then his limbs stopped moving, and his eyes were wide with horror, and he couldn't even bat himself.

After Chen Zhi killed Liu Biao, he quickly escaped from the room, he noticed that the fire outside the courtyard was near, he didn't dare to stay here for half a step, and fled the scene as quickly as possible according to the originally designed escape route.

A moment later, the guards in the palace rushed in, and when they saw all this, everyone was surprised that Liu Biao had been assassinated.

The commander of the guard did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately sent someone to inform Liu Qi, and when Liu Qi came here, he saw the scene of Liu Biao's tragic death, and immediately cried loudly.

Liu Qi suddenly pounced on Liu Biao's corpse, let out a hysterical wail, and immediately sent guards to start searching for the assassin, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he would also arrest the assassin back, Liu Qi wanted to kill the assassin Ling Chi with a knife to vent the anger in his heart!

So, the guards went their separate ways, and Liu Qi also sent someone to find Sima Yi.

Sima Yi discussed things with Liu Qi late last night, so he didn't go back, so he stayed in the mansion. But these days, due to overwork, so the physical strength is a little overdrawn, and he fell asleep, plus the guest room he lived in was in the front yard of the mansion, which was far away from the inner mansion where Liu Biao was located, so he couldn't hear the noise at all, until someone came to the door of his room and knocked on the door urgently, he was awakened.

Sima Yi slept in his clothes last night, and when he heard a knock on the door, he immediately jumped out of bed, and the moment he opened the door, he saw the captain of the guard next to Liu Qi with a nervous look, and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

The captain of the guard hurriedly nodded and said, "Strategist, it's not good, something is wrong, the old lord was assassinated and killed!" ”

When Sima Yi heard this, he was also surprised, and hurriedly said to the captain of the guard: "Lead the way ahead!" ”

The captain of the guard took Sima Yi and walked towards the inner mansion, along the way Sima Yi had a lot of thoughts, how could Liu Biao be suddenly assassinated? (To be continued......)
