A large number of guards swarmed around Liu Xiu, surrounding him. The crossbow arrows fired by the men in black on the surrounding rooftops were all blocked by the shields and bodies of the guards.
Seeing that the crossbow arrows could no longer hurt Liu Xiu, the men in black hiding on the roof jumped down one after another, facing the numerous guards, and launched a strong attack on Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu was surrounded by not only a large number of guards, but also countless soldiers. However, these men in black were not afraid and dared to take the initiative to attack. In addition to the boldness of skilled people, it shows that the opponents are dead soldiers.
.
The men in black rushed into the large number of guards. It was as if they were in an uninhabited land. Several men in black forced their way through the crowd and quickly approached Liu Xiu.
A man in black rushed to a place only five or six steps away from Liu Xiu. He was about to rush towards Liu Xiu. Two guards held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other to stop him.
The two guards were both very skilled in martial arts. They both used their shields as shields and struck hard at the left and right sides of the man in black. The man in black jumped into the air, reaching a height of two meters.
.
A thud was heard in the helix of the ear. The two shields did not hit the man in black, but collided with each other, making a loud noise. Before the two guards could draw their swords at the man in black in the air, the man in black had already waved his sword condescendingly.
Draw a sword.
The two guards felt a flash of cold light in front of their eyes, like mercury falling to the ground. Then, they both fell to the ground, and their necks were opened by the sword of the man in black.
Seeing the two guards dying under each other's swords, Liu Xiu's eyes grew colder. He shouted: "Get out of the way!" As he spoke, Liu Xiu held the Chixiao Sword and pointed at the man in black.
Welcomed it.wavv
The target of the man in black was Liu Xiu. Seeing Liu Xiu coming over on his own initiative, the man in black's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty excitement.
He shouted loudly, stamped one foot on the ground, and shot straight towards Liu Xiu like an arrow. At the same time, he thrust out a sword and struck Liu Xiu's neck and throat.
"Your Majesty, be careful." The surrounding guards were all frightened and screamed. Liu Xiu did not dodge, but raised the Red Sky Sword to block the opponent's sharp edge.
Bang! The sword from the man in black hit the surface of the Chixiao Sword. There was a harsh sound of iron collision, and a cloud of sparks exploded from the tip and surface of the sword.
The sword that was destined to be won was blocked by Liu Xiu, followed by a powerful rebound.
The man in black used his strength, jumped up, and kicked Liu Xiu's chest. Liu Xiu dodged to the side, getting out of the way of the opponent's edge, and at the same time swept out with his sword, slashing towards the opponent's waist. Black
The man in clothes reacted very quickly. He was in the air and retracted his sword to block.
Bang! The Red Sky Sword slashed at the opponent's sword, and the force of the impact caused the figure of the man in black to fly backwards in mid-air.
At the moment he landed, Liu Xiu rushed over and took the Chixiao Sword straight to the opponent's chest. The man in black secretly said, "Quickly," he turned around, drew an arc on the ground, and flashed towards Liu Xiu's chest.
On the side of his body, the blade of the sword slashed towards Liu Xiu's neck. Liu Xiu used almost the same movement technique as the man in black. His body also turned around, drawing an arc on the ground, and the two people passed each other.
The sword edge of the man in black drew a thin blood mark on Liu Xiu's neck, and Liu Xiu's sword edge tore open the throat of the man in black. After both of them stopped, Liu Xiu
He shook his sword and looked at the other men in black.
The man in black who was fighting with him trembled a few times, and then, a blood arrow spurted out from his neck, and his body fell straight down.
With Liu Xiu's skills, he had to use all his strength to deal with a man in black. This shows that these men in black are highly skilled in martial arts. Just when the scene was in chaos, someone suddenly heard a shout: "Kill the assassin."
!Leave no one behind!”
The one who roared this voice was none other than Jia Fu, the Jin Wu, and the subordinate Jia Fu brought was Ben Ming Lang. The arrival of Ben Ming Lang immediately resisted those men in black who looked like wolves and tigers.
At this time, more and more soldiers gathered at the scene. Not only did they completely surround the intersection, but even the two main streets of Kaiyang Street and Xiaojie were completely blocked by the soldiers.
However, the men in black showed no signs of retreating and were still attacking Liu Xiu frantically. Liu Xiu, carrying the Chixiao Sword that had turned red, strode towards the men in black.
"Your Majesty is in danger." The guards nearby tried to stop Liu Xiu, but were pushed away by the latter. He came to the men in black with a sword.
When several men in black saw Liu Xiu's appearance, they were like mad dogs. They immediately abandoned their opponents. Even if they were slashed or stabbed by the opponent, they frantically attacked Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu gave a sudden shout, held the sword in both hands, and swung it outward with all his strength. With three crisp sounds, the three stabbing swords were blocked. Liu Xiu did not retreat but moved forward, facing a black man.
The man in clothes hit him hard.
The man in black kicked his feet on the ground, swept his body backwards, and at the same time swept his sword forward, slashing towards Liu Xiu's face. The latter shouted again, facing the opponent's edge, and struck with the sword.
Crack! Crack!
The collision of swords first produced a sharp iron collision sound, followed by a crisp sound. The man in black's sword broke in response. Liu Xiu's Chixiao Sword continued unabated, cutting through the opponent's left temple, and struck at the opponent's left temple.
His right temple was slashed out, and with one strike of the sword, half of the man in black's head was cut off.
The other two men in black were taken aback. One of them roared angrily and jumped towards Liu Xiu. However, before he could reach Liu Xiu, an arrow shot diagonally from the side hit him in the neck. The man in black did not even say a word.
, and fell to the ground.
Finally, the man in black was shocked and subconsciously looked in the direction of the arrow. Before he could see clearly who fired the cold arrow, the surrounding guards were already moving their hanging knives, and the sound of crossbows firing continuously was heard.
Connected together.
Puff puff puff, in just an instant, dozens of crossbow arrows were inserted into his body.
The man in black knelt on one knee, leaning on the ground with his sword to prevent himself from falling. He raised his head, stared at Liu Xiu with bloodshot eyes, and stood up from the ground with a roar.
This situation is quite scary. The man in black is covered with crossbow arrows, but he can still walk towards Liu Xiu step by step, and he can even raise his sword high in an attack posture.
But soon, the second round of volley fired by the guards fell again, this time with more crossbow arrows. The man in black fell into a pool of blood like a hedgehog, his body twitched a few times, and there was no movement again.
This is just a corner of the battlefield.
As the Benming Army joined the battle, the crazy attack of the men in black was quickly suppressed. The men in black were besieged and killed one after another. The dead men in black were immediately dragged to the street by the surrounding soldiers.
There was no suspense in the ensuing battle, and no one in black successfully rushed towards Liu Xiu.
After two cups of tea, the battle was all over. There were fifty-five men in black who assassinated Liu Xiu this time. None of them escaped. They were either killed in the battle or seriously injured and captured.
To be more precise, they had no intention of running away and were desperately trying to take Liu Xiu's life.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Liu Xiu's face turned ugly. Wu Han, Jia Fu, Zhu Qian and others came forward one after another, knelt on one knee, and said in unison: "The general neglected his duty and frightened Your Majesty. Please forgive me!"
"
Liu Xiu said word by word: "Check! We must find out all the assassins' henchmen!"
If the assassin who assassinated him in Dongying might have been Li Yi's retainer, then what about these black-clad assassins now? Are they also Li Yi's retainer?
If Li Yi really had so many followers who were good at fighting, how could he be assassinated by assassins sent by Zhu Tuna?
Now even a fool can see that these assassins have little to do with Li Yi, and there must be another black hand hiding behind them.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and finally their eyes fell on Zhu Kun, who kept wiping the sweat beads on his forehead.
He has been stationed in Luoyang for such a long time and should be most familiar with the situation in Luoyang. But the problem is that he still has no idea where these assassins came from.
With such strong martial arts skills and such desperate fighting skills, these people are not ordinary dead soldiers at all, but more like elite dead soldiers who have been secretly trained for ten or twenty years.
With so many bold assassins popping up all of a sudden in Luoyang City, as a landlord, how could Zhu Kun not be nervous?
Wu Han said: "Your Majesty, it's better... let's go back to the military camp first!"
"No! Let's continue to the palace!" Now Liu Xiu was also aroused by the successive actions. He wanted to see how many people in this huge Luoyang City wanted to kill him.
Luoyang Palace, also known as Luoyang South Palace. This grand palace occupies almost one-tenth of the entire Luoyang City. The palaces and pavilions are arranged neatly and orderly, row upon row, and are magnificent and majestic.
Liu Xiu was personally responsible for the expansion of this palace. Naturally, he was very familiar with this palace.
The group of them entered through the north gate of the palace, took the Sima Gate, passed through a circular corridor, and walked further in to the Rui Gate on the inner city wall.
After passing Ruimen, there is the Chefei Gate. Only when you enter the Chefei Gate can you truly enter the palace. What comes into view is a huge square. This large square is more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers arrayed in formation.
Crossing the square and looking forward, you will see the main hall of the entire palace. The pedestal is high and the palace is huge. Directly above the door of the palace, there is a huge plaque. On the plaque, there are three big characters written with dragons and phoenixes, but it is not the palace.
Seeing the Quefei Palace, Liu Xiu seemed to go back to the time when he was a Sili school captain in Luoyang. When he was building this palace, he had imagined whether it would be possible for him to sit in the Quefei Palace one day.
In the palace, participate in government affairs.
Now, not only could he sit in the Quefei Hall, but he could also sit on the supreme seat. He followed the steps, walked up to the pedestal step by step, came to the door of the Quefei Hall, and looked inside.
The main hall is empty, with two rows of thick and tall red pillars on both sides. At the inner end of the main hall is the emperor's throne.
Liu Xiu stepped into the main hall, and Wu Han and others followed him in. The height of the main hall was at least seven or eight meters. Standing in it, people would feel that they instantly became smaller.
It was also the first time for Wu Han and others to enter the real palace. While marveling at it, they also let out exclamations. Liu Xiu walked to a pillar, raised his hand and patted it. After more than a year, he was again
came back!
Feeling in his heart, he walked forward leisurely, looking east and west. Everything here was exactly the same as when he left Luoyang.
Before he knew it, Liu Xiu reached the steps at the end of the hall. He walked up and stood in front of the throne.
When building the throne, there were several plans, and the final plan was confirmed by Liu Xiu himself. He first touched the throne lightly, then turned around and slowly sat on it.
The people below were still looking around, but Zhu Qian reacted quickly. When he saw Liu Xiu already sitting on the throne, he immediately knelt down, kowtowed forward, and said loudly: "I have to bow to your majesty!"
