Murder and Arson in the Dark Night
It was almost September. For some reason, the autumn wind came especially early this year. The summer heat of September had not dissipated, but this year's September had a bit more bleak and somber than before.
At night, the sky was filled with stars and the moonlight was hazy. The entire sky was a little dark, and the entire Luoyang City fell into a quiet atmosphere.
In Prince Chen Liu's residence, Liu Xie was reading a history book of the Han Dynasty in his study. Under the candlelight, Liu Xie's serious and determined face was reflected.
" Phew," Liu Xie couldn't help but rub his temples and grumbled," Why is the classical Chinese so obscure and difficult to understand in Lao Shenzi's history books?!"”
" It's a pity that Cui Yi isn't here. If he was here, I could ask him for advice." Liu Xie touched the lamp wick and couldn't help but think of Cui Yi who was hundreds of miles away." I wonder if Cui Yi has arrived at Changshan. If Zhao Zilong is here, I won't be afraid of Luoyang with Yue Yun."”
Thinking about the complicated situation, Liu Xie couldn't help but feel a headache." In a few days, Ding Jianyang will be killed by Lu Bu, and Dong Zhuo will be deposed.”
"However, if Dong Zhuo really deposed the Emperor and ascended the throne himself, Liu Bian would be demoted to Prince Hongnong, and soon after, he would be poisoned to death by Li Ru.”
" Thinking about my brother, he has a hard life." Liu Xie frowned." If it wasn't for the peace of the world, I wouldn't be like this."”
Just as Liu Xie was sighing in his study, several assassins dressed in black had already laid in ambush near Prince Chen Liu's residence." Lord Li has ordered that Liu Xie must be killed tonight!”An assassin who seemed to be the leader whispered to the others," Zhang Shan, is the intelligence done? Where is Liu Xie now?"
"Leader Zhou, according to the report of the prince's manor's informant, Liu Xie is currently in the prince's manor study. All the surrounding guards have been transferred away by the informant, and only a Jianghu Wanderer that Prince Chen Liu recruited a few days ago is guarding the study.”
" Yes, that's enough." Leader Zhou's eyes flashed with red light." Brothers, tonight's deal is done. We can take the silver that Lord Li promised and leave. From now on, we don't have to live these bloody days. In the future, everyone can do whatever they want."”
Leader Zhou tossed out a tempting flatbread." The eight of us, Zhang Shan, Zhao Wu, you two go kill Prince Chen Liu. Remember, you must bring out his head in one piece. We still need to rely on him to get the reward money.”
"Wu Ying, Feng Lei, the two of you will support us outside the Imperial Residence and ensure our retreat. After we retreat, contact the spies and start setting fire. The other three will come with me to deal with that so-called Wanderer of the pugilistic world.”
"Yes, sir!" All the men in black nodded in agreement.
" Alright." Leader Zhou took out a dagger that was glinting coldly from his waist. Looking at the dim moonlight tonight, he laughed softly and said," It's a dark and windy night. When you kill and set fire, Liu Xie, you're going to die tonight!”
"Everyone, attack!"
One by one, the men in black were like raccoons as they quickly and vigorously crossed the walls of the mansion. They hid their bodies in the shadows and quietly moved towards Liu Xie's study.
Liu Xie didn't know anything at this moment. He just drank a mouthful of refreshing tea and continued to read the ancient book.
Yue Yun was currently lying in a room close to the study. Suddenly, he felt a trace of killing intent, which was completely cultivated from fighting on the battlefield. He could not help but touch the pair of golden hammers beside him.
"Bang!" Just as Yue Yun was secretly on guard, the wooden door he was standing on suddenly shattered, and four masked men in black broke through the door!
At this moment, two men in black entered the study room where Liu Xie was. Before Liu Xie could react, the two men in black charged at his face with their daggers.
"Bang!" A loud bang rang in Liu Xie's ears. Not only was Liu Xie shocked, but the two men in black who had tried to assassinate him were also shocked.
Liu Xie looked up and saw a huge golden hammer coming straight from the room next to him. A huge hole connected the two houses.
Before the golden hammer landed on the ground, a mighty figure jumped over from the entrance of the cave. He grabbed the golden hammer and blocked in front of Liu Xie.
At this moment, Liu Xie's tears were about to flow out. At this moment, the person blocking in front of Liu Xie was none other than the general that Liu Xie had summoned-Yue Yun, Young Master Yue!
It turned out that Yue Yun had smashed through the two walls and jumped over from the other side. Yue Yun did not stop, raising his golden hammer and smashing it towards the assassin!
There were no extra fancy moves. It was just a simple smash. It focused on strength and speed. The assassin couldn't dodge in time even if he wanted to. He could only watch as the two golden hammers smashed into his head.
"Bang! Bang!" Two sounds that sounded like two watermelons being smashed rang out. The two heads of the arrogant assassins were no longer on their bodies. Blood gushed out from their necks, red and white mixed together, and splattered onto the ground.
At this moment, the two assassins who were supposed to kill Liu Xie were killed by Yue Yun. The assassin who wanted to kill Yue Yun had just run over from another house and saw the miserable state of the two.
These assassins had never seen such a bloody scene before. They were particular about killing in one blow and leaving after killing. How could they know what a real battlefield was like? Seeing such a bloody scene on the ground, one of them immediately vomited on the ground.
Yue Yun's face was cold, and no expression could be seen on his resolute face. Only Liu Xie could feel the iron blood on his face, the pleasure of fighting on the battlefield!
"Leave one alive!" Liu Xie endured the uncomfortable feeling in his stomach and said to Yue Yun.
Yue Yun nodded. He immediately leaped and raised the golden hammer in his hand, smashing it towards another person.
"Bang bang bang!" It was really the sound of a watermelon being smashed. In an instant, three of the assassins had lost their lives. The last person, Leader Zhou, had long lost the courage to resist. He felt that the young man standing in front of him with a dark face and a determined expression was not a human at all. He was a demon, a Yama from hell!
The red and white splashed onto Leader Zhou's body. Only then did Leader Zhou kneel down with a pale face. Looking at the youth who was gently wiping the golden hammer in front of him, he could not help but lower his head and tremble slightly.
" In the dark of the night, when you were killing people and setting fires," Liu Xie walked down from the desk angrily." You have a good plan." Liu Xie pointed a sharp sword at Leader Zhou." Tell me, who sent you to kill me?"”
Zhou Zhang looked at the general holding a golden hammer beside him and the child holding a sharp sword and pointing it at him angrily. His psychological defense was instantly broken. What glory and wealth, what gold and silver, none of them were as important as his life.
" Speak, I'll speak." Zhou Zhang kept kowtowing, his lips trembling." It's, it's Lord Li!" Lord Li sent us to assassinate Prince Chen Liu.”
"Lord Li, which Lord Li?" Liu Xie frowned, unable to recall which official surnamed Li he had offended.
"It's Lord Li Ru."
"Li Ru?" Liu Xie was shocked and angry when he heard that." Li Ru sent you to kill me?!”
"Yes, yes. If this lowly one says anything false, this lowly one will die a horrible death!”Zhou Zhang kowtowed and swore to the heavens.
" If Li Ru wants to kill me, it means that Dong Zhuo wants to kill me." Liu Xie's worry finally became a reality. Dong Zhuo really didn't follow the history. Now, he actually had the intention to kill him!
Liu Xie broke out in a cold sweat. Now, his plan had almost completely turned into a moon in the water, a flower in the mirror. The current situation had already deviated from the track of history and his plan.
Then, what should he do next?!
