Chapter 770: Assassinate Liu Xiu?

Chapter 770 Assassination of Liu Xiu?

Chapter 768: Assassination of Liu Xiu?

After this battle, four of the six major princes in Jingzhou were killed and two were captured. Not only was there a vacuum in power, but their military strength was also reduced by half.

So it is not difficult to imagine that Hong Xiuquan of Jiaozhou in the south would not miss this opportunity and would definitely lead an army to invade Jingzhou.

The only person in Jingzhou that Qin Hao cares about now is Liu Xiu, a potential threat, and he is the only one that Qin Hao will never let go of. But killing Liu Xiu is not that simple.

Liu Xiu may not be able to resist the Qin army, but that doesn’t mean Liu Xiu can’t escape?

 With the lessons learned from this battle, it is impossible for Liu Xiu to engage in a decisive battle with the Qin army. Therefore, even if a large army is sent to encircle and suppress Liu Xiu, it is not necessarily guaranteed to kill Liu Xiu. As long as Liu Xiu cannot be killed, there is no point in sending troops.

Since it would be difficult to send troops to kill Liu Xiu head-on, Qin Hao planned to send assassins to assassinate Liu Xiu, taking advantage of the effect of Liu Xiu's "Destiny" to directly nip this threat in the bud.

As for the candidate for the killer, Qin Hao already had a plan in mind. He was going to send out all seven swordsmen, making sure to kill with one hit.

As soon as he returned to Wancheng, Qin Hao immediately summoned Dugu Qiubai and other seven people, and gave them the task of assassinating Liu Xiu.

Facing this mission, Dugu Qiubai and others were very surprised. After all, Liu Xiu was just a defeated general, and his subordinates were also very weak, and there were no famous masters.

Why is the lord so afraid of such a person who is not even a prince that he sends seven of them to act together? Any one of them is enough, right?

Although the Seven Great Swordsmen were confused, this mission was personally assigned by Qin Hao after all, so they would never refuse it and headed south to Jiangling without even asking the reason.

On the way, the seven people got the news that Liu Xiu was named Jingzhou Shepherd. Only then did they realize how vicious Qin Hao's eyes were. Liu Xiu was a hidden dragon!

On the only way to Jiangling, Xun Kuang, who was wearing a Confucian robe, walked slowly to the middle of the road, looked at the seven people on horseback with a smile, and said with a smile: "Seven little friends, where are you going?"

They looked at each other with doubts in their eyes. Although Jingzhou is a place where hundreds of families gather, they wouldn't bump into each other when they go out, right?

And isn’t the headquarters of Confucianism in Yingchuan? Why does the former leader of Confucianism appear here?

After all, Xun Kuang was once the leader of Confucianism, and he was listed with Gui Guzi as the "Tian Wen Zong". The reason why Xun Shuang, the contemporary leader of Confucianism, can be listed as the "Tian Xia Shi" with Gui Guzi is because he was born in the Xun family and Xun Kuang left behind a blessing. .

So although the seven people could not guess what Xun Kuang was thinking, they did not dare to neglect him. At the same time, they dismounted and walked to Xun Kuang to show their respect.

Looking at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face, Xun Kuang is Xun Yu's grandfather after all, and Xun Yu's status in the Qin army is very high, and he is one of the few people second only to Qin Hao.

 “I met Master Xun.”

With Gai Nie taking the lead, the seven of them bowed respectfully, and then Gai Nie said again: "Of course we have a mission, and we have to ask why a respected and virtuous master like Master Xun appears in such a wilderness. ?”

“Of course I’m here for the mission of the seven little friends.”

Xun Kuang smiled indifferently, stroked his long beard, and said kindly: "I watched the sky at night and found that the life stars of the seven friends were dim. It is not appropriate to go south at this time. If you force yourself to go south, you will be in disaster. So I am here to advise you to return the way you came."

 The seven people frowned when they heard this, thinking that this was someone who came with bad intentions, but how did Xun Kuang know the content of their mission?

Also, don’t Confucians support the Lord?

 The intricate relationship between Qin Hao and Bai Jia is probably not clear to anyone except Qin Hao himself, and naturally the seven of them don't know either. Although the seven people were confused, they would not give up their mission because of this. They respected Xun Kuang because of Xun Yu, but if Xun Kuang hindered their mission, they would have no choice but to kill him.

Dugu Qiubei stood up with a cold face and said in a deep voice: "Master Xun, we have already put life and death aside. The mission is more important than our lives, so please don't embarrass us."

After saying that, Dugu Qiubai took the horse and walked forward expressionlessly, bypassing Xun Kuang directly.

The other six swords were also shocked when they saw this. Since Dugu Qiubai dared to ignore Xun Kuang, who was the ‘Tianwen Sect’, his courage alone was much better than theirs.

"Master Xun, please forgive me." Gai Nie said calmly, and then the six of them followed.

Being humiliated by seven juniors, Xun Kuang was not angry at all. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and moved his lips slightly. Although he did not make a sound, the expressions of the seven people behind him changed drastically and they turned around at the same time. , with a solemn look on his face, guarding the old man.

The sound of the dense sound is both a way to pass the sound and the attack means. Through the internal force, pass the sound to the brain of others, and practice until Dacheng can directly explode the enemy's head through the sound.

Of course this kind of secret technique cannot hurt the master, and what really shocked the three of them was not Xun Kuang's strength, but the content of what he said.

 If this is the case, Liu Xiu is really difficult to kill.

The three of them secretly thought that now that the incident has escalated, it is no longer a problem that can be solved by killing Liu Xiu. Instead, their mission has become secondary.

Xun Kuang took out a letter and said calmly: "Take this letter back to Qin Hao. Don't worry, not only will he not blame you for giving up the mission, but he will also reward you."

The seven of them looked at each other, and Dugu Qiubai stood up first and took it, saying: "Master Xun, see you later."

Dugu Qiubai bowed his hands, and then the seven of them mounted their horses and left, leaving as quickly as they came.

 Looking at the backs of the seven people leaving, Xun Kuang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although he was a great master, he might not be the opponent of the seven pure swordsman masters in a fight.

Thinking of what he had just experienced, Xun Kuang could not help but feel a flash of loneliness in his eyes, and sighed: "Qin Hao, how come your vision is so accurate? Now our Confucian school is about to be completely divided."

Looking in the direction of Jiangling, Xun Kuang sighed: "Xiu'er, this is all I can do for you, you can do it yourself."

Having said that, Xun Kuang tapped his toes and quickly disappeared into the mountains.

Qin Hao, who was far away in Wancheng, did not know that the assassination operation had failed just after it started. He was making arrangements for Xiangyang at this time.

Looking at the heroic and tall Yue Fei below, Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction and said in a deep voice: "Yue Fei, I have ordered you to be the guard general of Xiangyang. You will lead an army of 15,000 to guard the four counties of Nanjun, and I will allow you to open the granary of the Xiangyang Treasury. , select the best from the surrendered soldiers and the common people, and expand the army to 60,000."

Yue Fei suddenly showed excitement, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists, saying: "Thank you for your trust, my lord. I can only repay you by smashing my body to pieces."

　　　Thank you for the rewards from Love Your Life, Wu Di Yao Mee and others, thank you for your support!
