Chapter 1604 1606【Assassination】
After Xiang Nan and Jun Bao went down the mountain, they rode to Luoyang City.
Along the way, I saw that every village was empty, with traces of burning, killing and looting everywhere.
Whether the officers and soldiers or the rebels are not polite to the common people. Looting, burning, and killing, even the team of heroes and righteous men can't do it without crime and strict discipline.
After all, people are greedy and have selfish thoughts. Only a very small number of people can freeze to death without demolishing houses, and starve to death without looting. What's more, even rebellion has been created, life is lost, and murder is red-eyed, who would care about benevolence, righteousness and morality.
Like the Liu Liu Liu Qi uprising, although it was highly praised in the history books, the people at that time were actually deeply affected by it.
Because their ranks are full of ruffians, rogues, and rascals who burn, kill, and loot the people, causing endless harm. So the people hate it to the bone. The idiom [Liu Li Liu Qi] comes from this.
This is why Xiang Nan is unwilling to join these rebels.
…
At night, the two had already arrived in Luoyang, and then climbed up the city wall in the dark.
The city wall of Luoyang is 13 meters high, and the **** is about 80 degrees. For ordinary people, it is naturally unattainable. But for Xiang Nan and Jun Bao, it is not too difficult.
They have all practiced lightness kung fu, their bodies are as light as a swallow, and their fingers are like hooks, they can climb up with just a little effort, so they climbed up the city wall very quickly.
Standing on the city wall and looking into the city, there are few lights in the city, just like a dead city. Only the Liu Mansion in the east of the city was still brightly lit.
After Xiang Nan and Jun Bao entered the city, they first found Taoist Ling.
Taoist Ling told the situation in the city again.
Liu Jin is almost crazy now. Not only is he singing and singing every night, drinking and drinking, he indulges in pleasure, but he is also suspicious. He is afraid that the people in the city will rebel against him, so he sent troops to search for the rebels throughout the city.
If you admit to beheading, if you don't admit it, you will be beheaded. Just in the past two days, more than a dozen households have been ransacked and beheaded. The people in the city are so frightened that they don't even dare to speak. guillotine.
However, he still contacted a group of people, and after Xiang Nan and Jun Bao assassinated Liu Jin, they took the opportunity to revolt and drive Liu Jin's army out of Luoyang City.
Xiang Nan nodded, took a short rest, and then rushed to Liu Mansion with Jun Bao.
…
Along the way, you can see the once bustling streets, but now many of them are dilapidated. The ground is full of rubbish, and most of the shops along the street have no goods, and even the doors and windows have been removed.
In short, it doesn't look like Luoyang City, but more like a demolition site.
Xiang Nan and Jun Bao came to the Liu Mansion, and saw that the Liu Mansion was heavily guarded, with one post every five steps and one sentry post every ten steps. It seems that Liu Jin still cherishes his life.
However, such strict guards are still unable to do anything to Xiang Nan and Jun Bao.
The two of them sneaked into Liu's mansion from the water channel in the southeast corner of the house. This path was also pointed out to them by Taoist Ling.
After entering Liu's Mansion, they followed the map and found the back garden.
I saw that the back garden of the Liu Mansion occupies an extremely large area, and there may not be dozens of acres of land. Half of it was dug into a pond, and the other half was piled up into a rockery, with pavilions and pavilions hidden in it, which can be said to be quite beautiful.
At this moment, although it is late at night, there are still banquets in the backyard.
Liu Jin sat drinking on the pavilion in the middle of the lake, surrounded by beauties. On the water pavilion on the opposite bank, there is also a group of maiko dancers.
Silk and bamboo orchestras, delicacies, jade liquid and fine wine, beauties like jade... From these aspects, Liu Jin is still a person who knows how to enjoy.
It's just that the soldiers standing around the banquet were full of evil spirits, which made the atmosphere of the banquet not lively no matter what.
He knew that Jun Bao was merciful, and he was unwilling to kill him if he had to. But now they are here to assassinate, and the soldiers guarding the Liu Mansion may not have more than 2,000 soldiers.
If Liu Jin cannot be killed in a hurry, they will be surrounded by soldiers. At that time, even if the two of them have unrivaled martial arts, it may be difficult to escape with their lives.
So, now is not the time to be softhearted.
Jun Bao nodded.
…
The two of them held their breath, dived into the water, and slowly swam to the lake pavilion in the garden.
Immediately, Xiang Nan drew out his big knife, climbed up on the Huxin Pavilion, jumped up, and slashed at Liu Jin with a knife, "Girl dog, your time of death has come~"
His knife was extremely fast, like a lightning strike in midair, and he slashed towards Liu Jin.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jin looked drunk, but was extremely agile. He immediately rolled to the side and pushed the beautiful woman beside him out.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan retracted the knife in time, otherwise, the innocent woman would have been splashed with blood on the spot.
"Bold rebel, you have eaten the heart of a bear, and you dare to assassinate me, die for me!" Liu Jin immediately drew a soft sword from under the table, and stabbed at Xiang Nan.
At the same time, the surrounding guards also ran towards the Huxin Pavilion, and someone knocked on the gong to warn, "Come on, there are rebels assassinating the emperor~"
Seeing this, Jun Bao immediately guarded in front of the Huxin Pavilion. All the guards had to knock him down first if they wanted to pass.
Seeing Liu Jin stabbing at him, Xiang Nan didn't dodge or dodge, and as usual he slashed at him.
Time is running out, he doesn't have time to deal with Liu Jin, so it's all about exchanging injuries for injuries.
Liu Jin didn't dare to fight against Xiang Nan, after all, he just became the emperor, and he hasn't enjoyed enough yet.
So he immediately changed his sword move, crossed the stabbing sword, and held Xiang Nan's knife.
His soft sword seemed extremely thin, weak and boneless, but he didn't expect Xiang Nan's sword to strike on it, but it didn't break his sword. It can be seen that his sword also has a history.
But even though he held Xiang Nan's knife, the huge force from the knife still made his mouth tremble, and his right arm was numb.
But Xiang Nan refused to let go, and continued to attack blindly.
Liu Jin's skills are far inferior to Xiang Nan's, so he can only try his best to fight at this moment, and was beaten to dodge around. From time to time, he had to rely on the beauties in the pavilion in the middle of the lake to avoid Xiang Nan's attack.
Xiang Nan didn't have much interest in those beauties, but he couldn't bear to let them die unjustly, so he was a bit hesitant to take action.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jin, who is so cunning and cunning, would notice this, and simply use these girls as a shield.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan had no choice but to destroy the flower with his hands, "I'm offended~"
After finishing speaking, he kicked these girls into the water one by one.
Anyway, the water in the pond is not as deep as one person. If those girls fall, they will catch a little cold at most, and they will not be drowned.
"You let me go, what do you want, glory and wealth, gold, silver and treasure, I will give you~" Liu Jin saw that the shields were gone, and he was really no match for Xiang Nan, and his guards were all firmly held by Jun Bao. Those who stopped outside the Huxin Pavilion had no choice but to beg for mercy.
"Hmph, you **** has only been the emperor for a few days, and you're full of words. Do you really think you're the Ninth Five-Year King?" Xiang Nan couldn't help laughing, "I don't want it." Too many, I want your head on the neck, give it to me~"
As he spoke, he slashed with a knife. Liu Jin wanted to dodge it, but Xiang Nan slashed with his right hand, punched with his left hand, and kicked his lower body.
Liu Jin blocked Xiang Nan's knife with his sword, and blocked Xiang Nan's fist with his hand, but he couldn't dodge this kick. He was kicked on his knee and fell to his knees with a plop.
Xiang Nan raised the knife in his hand, and with a puff, he held the big head in his hand.
