The first thousand six hundred and sixty-seventh chapters kill No. 1 (1)
(Many thanks to ‘xcites’ for your monthly support and encouragement!)
In midsummer, in the early morning of Chang'an City, a drizzle fell.
The cool rain washed away all the blood shed in the past few days in Chang'an City, leaving no trace.
Killer King No. 1 walked silently on Suzaku Street, heading towards the Imperial City.
If someone looks closely, they will find that he walks in an absolutely straight line, and the size of each step is exactly the same, as if it was measured.
I don’t know whether it’s because of the rain or because too many people have died in Chang’an City in the past few days. The streets and alleys of Chang’an City seem particularly cold. There are few pedestrians on the streets. Occasionally, there are people walking by, and they are also patrolling the city in a hurry.
Soldier.
The rain never got heavier, it just fell sparsely.
The drops fell on the tile backs of the houses in Chang'an City, in the bluestone alleys, on the small bridges and in the flowing water, and on the graves of corpses.
No matter where it falls, the raindrops always sound a very rhythmic, slow and beautiful, but never-changing melody.
Although the King of Killers No. 1 was always looking forward, some scenes of the houses and shops on both sides still fell in his eyes.
When he saw that some shops and houses had glass windows from time to time, a light shone in his eyes.
"These are all created by No. 2 and Wang Junlin. They should not have appeared in this era." Killer King No. 1 muttered to himself, but because there was no emotion in his voice, it was difficult to tell.
The thoughts in his mind, or his attitude towards this matter.
In the past few years, as Fanyang glass has gradually become popular all over the world, despite the troubled times, it has not affected the glass and has gradually become popular among aristocratic families, small and medium-sized nobles, large, medium and small landowners, and wealthy businessmen.
Many of the wealthy families and nobles who followed or placed their treasure on Li Yuan followed Li Yuan and moved to Chang'an City. On the one hand, they believed that being with Li Yuan was undoubtedly the safest in these troubled times. On the other hand, they
This is because everyone knows that Li Yuan will eventually establish a kingdom in Chang'an and proclaim himself emperor.
This will be the center of the future world.
It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin was able to blockade Chang'an City and wipe out almost all these wealthy families, leaving only the children who were officials and generals in other counties in Guanzhong.
Wearing a unique tight-fitting black suit, Killer King No. 1 was walking in the rain. Although he was wearing a hat to cover some of the rain, because his walking was too uniform and straight, it gave people a very strange feeling, unconsciously.
It attracted surprised looks from people taking shelter from the rain on both sides of the street and from people in shops.
In particular, the target of this person's trip was clearly the palace, which aroused countless people's wild speculations, because in the past few days, remnants of powerful families have been trying to sneak into the palace to assassinate Li Shimin for revenge, but in fact most of them surrendered themselves.
Snare.
Rain dripped down the edge of the black hat and fell on the arms and back of Killer King No. 1. It quickly wet his clothes, but he didn't seem to feel any discomfort or notice at all.
A flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, followed by a huge thunder, which frightened many people nearby who were taking shelter from the rain to let out a soft cry of surprise. Some children were frightened by the thunder and cried, and there was a cry for their mother.
Voice.
After the lightning and thunder, the midsummer rain gradually became heavier.
The speed of Killer King No. 1 remained unchanged and he continued to walk in the heavy rain.
Under the strange and curious looks of people on both sides of the street, he walked all the way to the end of Zhuque Street, to the square on the south side of the Imperial City.
Wet raindrops kept dripping down the bamboo hat on his head and fell on his clothes.
His clothes were completely wet, making his body surface temperature a little low, but when he thought that Li Shimin had finally found the kind of jade he had been looking for, something in his body began to speed up involuntarily.
It's like the heart of people under excitement begins to beat faster.
However, he still noticed that the inside and outside of the Imperial City today seemed to be different from the previous two days, but he did not think much about it, because it was a troubled time now, and it was normal for Li Shimin to mobilize more troops to the Imperial City. After all, the clans in Chang'an City
Although the aristocratic family has been exterminated, the power hidden in the city has not been completely eradicated, especially those Guanlong nobles, who have been operating in Chang'an City for many years and are deeply rooted. It is not that easy to eliminate them. This was also the case before Li Yuanchi
One of the reasons for the delay in taking action.
However, Killer King No. 1 still stopped in front of the imperial city, then raised his head slightly and glanced at the imperial palace, which was no longer surrounded by mist and mist.
After watching for a while, he was about to move forward when suddenly, he turned his head and looked to the right.
Then there was a rumbling sound, and the ground trembled slightly.
It was the sound of at least a thousand cavalry galloping.
At this moment, a light flashed violently in the eyes of Killer King No. 1, and then he felt the aura of danger.
Because, a thousand cavalrymen charged towards him alone.
In the past, the King of Killers No. 1 would have left immediately. As long as it was not an encirclement of certain death, he would have plenty of means to leave.
However, he hesitated today because Li Shimin said that he had found that kind of jade. Although Li Shimin might be lying to him, this jade was so important to him, so important that if he didn't get it, he might really die.
.
He had only a few days to live.
Therefore, he did not leave, but stood there, staring at the cavalry charging towards him.
No one can withstand the charge of thousands of elite cavalry head on.
Unless there really is a God in this world.
Of course there is no god in this world, but to ordinary people, the No. 1 Killer King can also be regarded as a god.
Therefore, he could resist, but he did not escape.
Killer King No. 1 still stood there motionless.
He didn't seem to see the cavalry charging towards him with all his strength.
At this time, the wind and rain were still raging all over the sky, and endless rain fell from the sky, constantly washing away the No. 1 Killer King, but no one noticed that his previously soaked clothes had dried up at some point.
"kill!"
The captain who led the thousand cavalry had a murderous look on his face, but as the distance between him and the target kept getting closer, his eyes narrowed slightly. He was a general who had fought many battles, and he was a master in the stagnation period. He believed that even if
In front of him were three or four accomplished masters. He could kill them all with these thousand fine cavalry. Of course, many of these thousand cavalry would also die in the end.
However, at this moment, he could clearly feel a biting chill from the target in front of him. Countless battles on the battlefield made him feel a sense of danger from the target.
However, this kind of coldness and this kind of danger did not make him afraid at all, but instead aroused his overwhelming fighting spirit and murderous intention, and even a hint of madness.
There was naturally a reason why Li Shimin was able to send him to lead a thousand cavalry in the first battle. No one in the world could match Li Shimin in terms of employing people. Even Wang Junlin couldn't match Li Shimin if he hadn't cheated.
"kill!"
A thousand cavalry roared in unison, the sound shook the sky and resounded throughout Chang'an City.
The moment the killing sound ended, a thousand cavalrymen rushed in front of Killer King No. 1.
After being within the attack range, all the cavalry at the front who could reach Killer King No. 1 slashed hard at the opponent with their sabers.
At this moment, a sword light illuminated the rainy sky in front of the imperial city.
Different from Sword God.
The No. 1 King of Killers made very little movement when he drew out his sword. Even when he drew out his sword, there was no sound. There was no scene where the sword glowed loudly or sword aura flew.
The King of Killers No. 1 just steadily drew out the black thin sword at his waist at a speed that was as fast as magic.
Then, he stabbed it out.
His first sword stabbed into the empty space on one side, but the strange thing was that when he reached the tip of the sword, a war horse's eye automatically hit the tip of his sword.
The war horse was in great pain, and suddenly neighed shrilly, then went crazy, and threw the knight off the horse, blocking a large area of the cavalry behind it, and more than a dozen war horses were "rear-end" to varying degrees.
Almost at the moment when the momentum of the charge was blocked and chaos arose, the figure of the No. 1 Killer King appeared like a ghost in the middle of the dozen or so horses chasing after them, cleverly avoiding being collided by other cavalry.
risks of.
After entering the middle of the chasing horses, Killer King No. 1 thrust out his second sword, his third sword, his fourth sword...
The speed with which he drew his sword did not seem very fast despite the violent wind and rain. He did not even have any wonderful moves, and it seemed very ordinary.
However, the strange thing is that every time he handed out the rapier very lightly, the tip of the sword would accurately stab the throat or heart of a cavalryman.
There will never be a second time to kill an enemy with one sword, and there will be no wounded, only the living and the dead.
It even feels like these cavalrymen are using their own throats to hit the tip of the sword in the hand of King Killer No. 1. In fact, even if the cavalry use their own throats to actively hit the tip of the sword, it is impossible to achieve such a high accuracy.
Accurate, clean, and stable, this is what Killer King No. 1 feels like when he takes action. It's very simple.
It's as simple as it gets, and in fact it's almost as simple as it gets.
The charge formation of a thousand cavalrymen was pierced by Killer King No. 1. In fact, he was moving within a radius of five meters from beginning to end, so to be precise, this is not a pierce. It is just a wave of charges that ended, leaving behind
Nearly a hundred corpses.
From the moment the captain yelled the word "kill" to the moment King Killer No. 1 stabbed nearly a hundred corpses to death, the end of this wave of charges was only a dozen breaths of time.
In the rain, the bodies of Killer King No. 1 fell on the ground in front of and behind him.
Blood gradually poured out from the throats of the corpses. Because the wounds were not large, there was not much blood at the beginning, but towards the end there was more blood.
