Chapter 492: The people who got in the way are dead
More than 100 torches jumped and rushed towards the street where Liu Wei was standing from a distance.
Standing in the middle of the street, Liu Wei could clearly hear the chaotic footsteps of hundreds of people running on the bluestone pavement.
The crowd of people holding torches got closer and closer, and gradually, Liu Wei saw that he was running over in the Qing Dynasty with a group of heavily armed dragoon guards.
In the vast night, the golden feathers on the helmets of the Dragoon Guards appeared in the light of the firelight. As they ran, the feathers trembled sharply in the wind, like a ball of fire shining with stars in the night.
"Your Highness!" Running in front of this group of dragoons, it was Deng Zhan, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and when Liu Wei approached, the servants clasped their fists together and bowed to Liu Wei, Deng Zhan said to Liu Wei with a panicked face: "The last general's protection is not effective, so that His Highness is taken advantage of by thieves, and I beg His Highness to forgive him!" ”
"General Deng was also injured, so he was taken advantage of by thieves, and he didn't mention it!" Liu Wei did not blame Deng Zhan, but waved his hand at him, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun, and said to them: "This time, this king has the help of nobles, and he escaped with his life. ”
"No!" Liu Bian's tone of voice was very hurried, and from his tone, Deng Zhan and the others heard that something was urgent, and they didn't dare to delay any longer, so they hurriedly responded, leading more than 100 dragoon guards, and hugged Liu Bian in the direction of the official mansion.
While Liu Wei returned to the official mansion surrounded by Deng Zhan and others, in a private house in the city, more than a dozen black-clothed people were sitting in a circle, and their eyes were all looking at the other black-clothed person standing in front of them.
In the small room, four white candles were lit on a candlestick that was only half cut off. The flickering light of the white candle illuminates the room.
Everyone's faces, in the light of the fire, were glowing with a thin flush.
The man in black who was watched by everyone was none other than the one who asked Wang Wei to kill Liu Er before.
At this time, with a cold face, he looked around at the people sitting in the room, and after a long time, he said to everyone in an extremely depressed tone: "Huainan Yuan Shu sent people to assassinate the king of Luoyang, and the people who acted were almost wiped out by the king of Luoyang, except for a few people who escaped by luck, most of them died!" ”
Listening to what the leader in black said, the people sitting around the room all looked solemn, and from their faces, they couldn't tell what they were thinking at this time.
"The assassins from Luoyang City are secretive, although we have tried to contact them, but they have always avoided us and have not been able to meet them!" As he spoke, the leading man in black revealed a little gloom in his tone, sighed lightly, and then said to everyone: "As for those people from the north, they can't be relied on at the moment, and I am doomed to fail when I wait for this assassination!" ”
When the leader in black said the words "success and failure", everyone in the room had a little more unwillingness and humiliation on their faces.
However, none of the black-clothed men spoke, they just raised their heads slightly one by one, looked at the black-clothed man in the lead, and waited for him to continue.
"We were ordered to come, and when we left, we made an oath that if we failed, even if we died, we would never leave half of the King of Luoyang alive!" Lowering his head slightly, the black-clothed man in the lead narrowed his eyelids a little, and said in an endless desolate tone: "Right now, it seems that it's time for me to go on the road!" ”
"I will never be captured alive by the King of Luoyang!" Before the leading man's words fell, a man in black stood up, lowered his voice, threw down such a sentence, pulled out a long sword from his waist, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, the tip of the sword against his lower abdomen, and his wrist was violently forced.
The sharp sword, pushed by the man's fierce force, pierced his lower abdomen and pierced through the back of his back.
Turning his head to look at the man who committed suicide, the leading man's indifferent eyes revealed a strong unbearability. But he didn't come to the rescue, but turned his head to the side again, no longer looking at the man who fell to the ground with a long sword in his lower abdomen and twitched.
The man who committed suicide fell to the ground, not breathing for a while, and his whole body was still convulsing. His blood flowed down the long sword that pierced his body, and a strong bloody aura filled the room.
The rest of the men all hung their heads down, and none of them spoke, and none of them looked at the man who had fallen to the ground and was convulsing.
After being silent for a while, the leading man let out a long sigh, pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand, and waved his hand to the black-clothed people sitting in the room with the other hand and said, "Brothers, let's all go on the road!" ”
When the man in black waved his hand, all the men in black stood up silently, drew their long swords from their waists in unison, and the two of them stood in a group, facing each other.
When the men in black stood up, the man in black in the lead turned around, put his hands behind his back, and slowly closed his eyes.
The moment he closed his eyes, a flash of tears flashed in his eyes.
Several black-clothed people held long swords, slowly lifted the long sword, and pressed the tip of the sword against the heart of the companion standing opposite, until a flash of determination flashed on the companion's face, and then suddenly stabbed the long sword into the companion's heart.
The black-clothed people were in a group of two, and with a "poof" sound when the tip of the sword pierced the human body, one by one the black people fell to the ground with a long sword in their chest.
In the small room, there was a thick bloody atmosphere, and when a man in black fell to the ground, the leading man in black slowly opened his eyes, stared at the window without blinking, and said indifferently: "It's your turn!" ”
Before his words fell, the door was gently pushed open, and Wang Xun, who was holding a long sword, slowly walked in from outside the house. The candlelight shone on the long sword in Wang Wei's hand, and the sword body of the long sword glowed with a faint orange halo under the candle flame, making the sword qi that should have been cold actually a little warmer.
Entering the house, Wang Wei had a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at the man in black, and was speechless for a long time. His handsome face, under the light of the white candle, was half bright and half dark, making his whole person look extremely weird.
"You swore an oath, too!" Pressing the hilt of the sword with one hand, the man in black frowned slightly, and said in a cold tone to Wang Xun who entered the house: "Once the matter is revealed, you will ......"
Without waiting for the man in black to finish speaking, Wang Wei raised an arm, sneered with ridicule, interrupted him, and said to him: "So-and-so just negotiated a deal with someone, but he didn't get too many benefits, and before he got the benefits, he died, I'm afraid that so-and-so won't be willing!" ”
"How are you going?" Wang Chen's words made the man in black suddenly feel a trace of vigilance, his eyes suddenly opened, he glared at Wang Chen, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword couldn't help but clench tightly, and asked Wang Xun in a cold voice.
"Carry your head to the king of Luoyang, I'm afraid you don't have to die!" Standing three steps away from the man in black, Wang Wei held a long sword, the tip of the sword pointed obliquely to the ground, the corners of his mouth pulled up a faint smile, and a cold light flashed in the corners of his eyes, and said to the man in black: "If someone says that he wants to kill the king of Luoyang, and he will be crowned an official under the command of the king of Luoyang, I am afraid it is not impossible to ......."
"Poof!" Before Wang Chen's words were finished, the black-clothed man who pressed the hilt of the long sword suddenly drew his sword, and the long sword drew a silver arc of light and cut towards Wang Xun's throat.
This sword came out without warning, but it did not surprise Wang Xun at all, at the moment when the long sword was about to cut his throat, his wrist flipped to the sword, the long sword was straight up, and with a crisp sound of "bang", it lightly dissolved the sword attacked by the man in black.
The sudden attack did not work, and the man in black knew that it was impossible for him to kill Wang Chen, who was much higher than him in swordsmanship, and when he mentioned the strength of the most rear, he roared, waved his long sword, and rushed towards Wang Xun, intending to fight to the death, and also fight with Wang Xun to lose both.
The room was very small, and there were several corpses lying on the ground, which was very inconvenient to move around. In an eye, the man in black had already attacked more than ten swords, but Wang Xun only dodged left and right, except for occasionally raising his long sword to block, he didn't do any counterattack at all.
Dozens of swords were attacked in a row, and the sword moves of the man in black gradually slowed down, and just when he attacked one sword and the other sword was not renewed, Wang Wei finally made a move.
With an arc of light, the man in black howled miserably, a stream of blood shot out from his wrist, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a "boom", and then he squatted down holding his wrist.
While the man in black squatted down, a long sword pointed straight at the top of his head, and Wang Xun stood straight in front of him, staring at him coldly.
"Why don't you kill me?" Pointed at by Wang Wei with a long sword, the man in black raised his face, glared at him with hatred on his face, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "As long as I am alive, one day, you will die in my hands." ”
"So-and-so suddenly changed his mind!" As soon as the man in black finished speaking, the corner of Wang Chen's mouth pulled up a strange smile, and said to him: "Give you alive to the King of Luoyang, I'm afraid you can get more back!" ”
"Wang Chen!" When Wang Xun said that he would give him to the king of Luoyang alive, the man in black gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "A certain will definitely not let you succeed? ”
"That's hard to say!" The long sword in his hand was slightly deviated, the blade of the sword was placed on the shoulder of the man in black, and he gently drew the sword, and wiped the blood stains on the sword with the shirt on the shoulder of the man in black. After a failed assassination, he let all his men kill themselves, like you, how can you conspire with you? ”
Wang Xun's words stunned the man in black, raised his head, looked at Wang Xun with a stunned face, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything after that.
Seeing that the man in black had doubts on his face, Wang Wei put away the long sword, inserted it back into the scabbard, turned his back to the man in black, lowered his voice, and said to him: "This time you enter the city, you are waiting for too many people." If there are too many people, it will often spoil big things, and now that the idle people have been cleared, you and I are just a chance! ”
"...... you?" Hearing Wang Chen's words, the stunned man in black's face became more and more serious, he held the injured wrist, slowly stood up, looked at Wang Chen's back, and stopped talking as soon as the words came out.
"Liu Er's stay with the King of Luoyang seems to be detrimental to us, but in fact, it is greatly conducive to the assassination of the King of Luoyang!" With his back to the man in black, Wang Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "It's just that this matter, I'm afraid someone can't do it, and I need your help!" Whether this matter is successful or not, it is all up to Liu'er! ”
Standing behind Wang Chen, the suspicion on the face of the man in black became heavier and heavier, he never trusted Wang Wei very much, but after thinking about it, with the current form, if Wang Xun wanted to capture him and dedicate him to Liu Wei, he could only be restrained, so he said to Wang Wei with the mentality of gambling on the last game: "Everything is according to the orders of Mr.!" ”
