Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 770 Assassination of Liu Xiu?

Chapter 768: Assassinate Liu Xiu?

After this war, the six major princes of Jingzhou, four killed and two captured, not only the power vacuum, but also the military force has dropped by more than half.

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

Now the only thing Qin Hao cares about in Jingzhou is Liu Xiu, a potential big threat, and he is the only one Qin Hao will never let go of, but killing Liu Xiu is not that simple.

Liu Xiu may be powerless to resist the Qin army, but that doesn't mean Liu Xiu can't escape?

With the lessons learned from this battle, Liu Xiu could not be in a decisive battle with the Qin army, so even if a large army was sent to encircle and suppress it, it would not necessarily be able to kill Liu Xiu.

Since it was difficult to send an army to kill Liu Xiu head-on, Qin Hao was going to send a killer to assassinate him. Before the effect of Liu Xiu's 'Mandate of Heaven' was restored, he directly eliminated this threat in the bud.

As for the candidate for the killer, Qin Hao also has a plan in mind. He is going to send all the seven swords, and he must ensure that he can kill with one blow.

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

In the face of this mission, Dugu Qiufeng and others were very surprised. After all, Liu Xiu was only a defeated general, and his forces were also very weak, and there were no famous masters.

Such a person who is not even a prince, why is the lord so jealous, to send seven of them to act together, any one of them is enough?

Although the Seven Great Swordsmen were confused, Qin Hao personally assigned the mission this time, so they would never refuse, and went 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 was. 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?"

The people looked at each other with doubts in their eyes. Although Jingzhou is a place where hundreds of families gather, they wouldn't encounter them when they went out, right?
And isn't the base of Confucianism in Yingchuan?Why did the former leader of Confucianism appear here?
After all, Xun Kuang was the leader of Confucianism, and he was also listed with Guiguzi as the 'Tianwen Xianzong', and the reason why Xun Shuang, the leader of contemporary Confucianism, and Guiguzi can be listed as the 'Master of the World' is because he was born in the Xun family and Xun Kuang left behind blessings. .

Therefore, although the seven people could not guess Xun Kuang's thoughts, they did not dare to neglect, and at the same time they dismounted and walked to Xun Kuang to show their respect.

Instead of looking at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, Xun Kuang was Xun Yu's grandfather after all, and Xun Yu had a high status in the Qin army, but he was one of the few people second only to Qin Hao.

"I have seen Master Xun."

With Gai Nie taking the lead, the seven of them bowed respectfully together, and then Gai Nie said again, "We naturally have a mission, why would such a virtuous master like Master Xun appear in such a wild place? ?"

"Naturally, it's for the mission of the seven little friends."

Xun Kuang smiled lightly, stroked his long beard, and said genially: "The old man watched the sky at night and found that the fate of the seven little friends is dim. It is not suitable to go south at this time. Forcible south will be very difficult, so I come to advise you to return to the same way."

When the seven people heard the words, their brows instantly wrinkled, and they thought that this was an unkind person, but how did Xun Kuang know the content of their mission?

Also, doesn't Confucianism support the Lord?
The intricate relationship between Qin Hao and Baijia, except Qin Hao himself, I am afraid that no one can understand, and the seven of them naturally do not know.

Although the seven people were at a loss, they would not give up their mission. They respected Xun Kuang because of Xun Yu, but if Xun Kuang hindered their mission, they could only kill him.

Dugu Qiufeng stood up with a cold face and said solemnly: "Master Xun, we have already put our life and death aside. The task is more important than our life, so please don't embarrass me."

After speaking, Dugu Qiufei led the horse, walked forward with no expression, and bypassed Xun Kuang directly.

The other six swords were also stunned when they saw this. Since Dugu Qiufeng dared to ignore Xun Kuang, who was the 'Tian Wen Zong', this spirit alone would have beaten them by many.

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

He was humiliated by the seven juniors, but Xun Kuang didn't understand anger at all. Instead, his eyes narrowed slightly and his lips moved slightly. Although he didn't make a sound, the expressions of the seven people behind him changed drastically, and they turned around at the same time. , with a dignified look on the old man's guard.

Secret sound transmission is not only a sound transmission technique, but also an attack method. It directly transmits the sound to the brain of others through internal force, and when it is practiced, it can directly blast the head of the enemy through the sound.

Of course, this kind of secret technique can't hurt the master, and the real shock of the three is not Xun Kuang's strength, but the content of what he said.

If this is the case, Liu Xiu is really not easy to kill.

The three secretly thought in their hearts that now the incident has escalated, and it is not a problem that can be solved by killing one Liu Xiu, but their task has become secondary.

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

The seven looked at each other, Dugu Qiufei took the lead and took it, saying, "Master Xun, there will be a future."

Dugu Qiu bowed his hands and bowed, and then the seven of them left on horseback, coming and going faster.

Seeing the seven people leaving, Xun Kuang breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was a great master, if they fought, he would not necessarily be the opponent of the seven pure kendo masters.

Thinking of the experience just now, Xun Kuang couldn't help but flash a trace of loneliness in his eyes, and sighed: "Qin Hao, why are you so accurate, my Confucianism is about to be completely divided."

Glancing in the direction of Jiangling, Xun Kuang sighed: "Xiu'er, this old man can only do this for you, you can do it yourself."

After saying that, Xun Kuang tapped his toes and quickly disappeared into the mountains.

Qin Hao, who was far away in Wancheng, didn't know that this assassination operation had just started and it had already failed. He was arranging matters in Xiangyang at this time.

Looking at Yue Fei, who was standing tall and heroic below, Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction and said solemnly: "Yue Fei, I will order you to be the guard of Xiangyang, lead [-] troops to guard the four counties of Nanjun, and allow you to open the granary of the Kufu in Xiangyang. , select the elite from the descendants and the common people, and expand the army to [-] people."

Yue Fei suddenly showed excitement, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fist and said, "Thank you for your trust, my subordinates can only repay them by smashing their bodies to pieces."

　Thank you for loving your life, wailing me and others for the rewards, thank you for your support!
