At the first watch, Guo Song stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror.
His face was dark and shiny, his nose was broad and flat, his eyes were thin and long, and his eyebrows were as rough and thick as a brush. He looked like a big man that he didn't recognize.
It took Guo Song a full hour to complete this set of disguise masks. He almost lost his patience, at least he didn't want to use it again next time.
The disguise mask that Aunt Gongsun gave him was indeed very effective. It was not a complete mask, which could easily be seen as a fake mask. It was just an inverted triangular mask that just covered his forehead, eyebrows, eyes and nose.
It's as thin as a cicada's wings and feels nothing when applied to the face.
Then use a light black colorant and spread it evenly on the face. The skin will become dark and shiny. It must be washed off with special agents. The biggest effect is that the traces of the thin mask on the face will be completely visible.
No longer coming out, the user cannot be seen to be disguised even during the day.
However, this kind of mask also has great limitations. It can only last up to one day at a time. If it exceeds time, the mask will shrink and wrinkle.
Because it is difficult to make, troublesome to use, and impractical, for Hidden Sword Pavilion, the assassins do not want to show their true colors anyway, and the effect of the mask is the same.
Therefore, Zangjianlou only made ten sets in total, and all three sets of male disguise masks were given to Guo Song, so that he could dress up as three different people.
After changing his appearance, he quickly put on his warrior uniform, slung his bow, arrows and sword behind his back, and went out silently.
He hibernated for twenty days. During these twenty days, he hardly left the house, honing his sword skills in the house.
It has to be said that Aunt Gongsun has a very unique and sharp vision. She saw the weakness of Guo Song's martial arts, that is, his cutting power is strong, but his assassination power is insufficient, and the maximum power of the sword is not exerted. The fundamental reason is not Guo Song's skill with the sword.
The problem is not the understanding of weapons, but that he chose the wrong weapons.
He shouldn't use a knife. Although a horizontal knife can also stab, it is designed to facilitate chopping and is far inferior to a sword in stabbing.
But the sword was far weaker than the sword in cutting, so Aunt Gongsun chose the heavy sword for Guo Song. It was very good at cutting and assassinating. This made Guo Song find the feeling of the iron wood sword again. After twenty days behind closed doors,
After practicing hard, his understanding of swords has reached a new level, and he is not far away from reaching the ultimate state.
After twenty days of hard training, Guo Song also studied the black sword for twenty days, but he still didn't understand what metal the black sword was made of. The sword was three feet long and simple in style. Normally, swords of the same size would only be eight or nine.
Jin, but it weighs twenty-five kilograms and is extremely dense. It feels very much like ferrotungsten. Both the hardness and density are in line with the characteristics of ferrotungsten.
But this was the Tang Dynasty. Could the smelting level of the Tang Dynasty be able to smelt tungsten ferro? Unless it was obtained by accident, it became a special case and could not be mass-produced. Only in this way can it be explained.
He couldn't confirm the material for twenty days, and Guo Song didn't bother to study it anymore. In any case, he used this black sword very smoothly, which allowed his martial arts to reach its peak.
Although black swords are rare in the world, the scabbard is very ordinary. It is a half-old sharkskin scabbard. It is so ordinary that no one is willing to take a second look when walking on the street.
Not long after, he came to Guanglu Fang. Guanglu Fang is located opposite Taiji Palace. Li Fuguo's huge house is in the northwest corner of Guanglu Fang, covering an area of 100 acres. It turned out to be Princess Taiping's house, and Li Fuguo was trying to seize it.
After making great contributions to the Li family incident, Li Longji rewarded the house to Li Fuguo.
People in Chang'an said that Li Fuguo slept in the same room every night. This was not wrong. Zangjian Pavilion failed to assassinate Li Fuguo three times. Instead, it frightened Li Fuguo. No matter where he went during the day, he was personally guarded by at least a dozen warriors.
At night, there were even thirty people protecting him, stationed around his bedroom.
But no matter day or night, brothers Chen Huai and Chen Ji never left his side.
Guo Song stood on a big tree outside the high wall and observed the situation in Li Fuguo's mansion. He found that the guards in the mansion were extremely tight. There were hundreds of Tang Army soldiers patrolling along the wall outside, while inside the mansion, there were at least hundreds of them.
The warriors were on guard in secret.
There are no less than twenty mastiffs patrolling the wall. Of course, the atmosphere of approaching war has only recently heated up suddenly, and Guo Song knows the reason for this very well.
Today he received a letter from Gongsun Auntie. Her visit to King Lu ten days ago caused a series of reactions. Needless to say, King Lu and King Zheng attacked and smeared each other politically.
The armed struggle also became increasingly fierce. Yu Chaoen and Cheng Zhenyuan's respective samurai groups had several firefights, resulting in more than forty casualties. Among them, Yu Chaoen's Hunting Deer Villa was attacked by dozens of people at night, and ten samurai warriors were killed.
Six people made the Hunting Deer Villa almost destroyed.
The struggle between Yu Chaoen and Cheng Zhenyuan also gradually affected Li Fuguo. People in Li Fuguo's Tianying Tower continued to go missing or were injured or killed. Li Fuguo had transferred all the remaining thirty-seven warriors from Tianying Tower to his own residence.
Although this will increase the difficulty for Guo Song to assassinate Li Fuguo, it also creates conditions for Guo Song to test Li Fuguo's mansion. If something happens in the mansion at this time, Li Fuguo may not necessarily think that it is the emperor who attacks him, but he may think that it is Yu Chaoen.
The fierce fight with Cheng Zhenyuan once again spilled over to himself.
Of course, this was Hidden Sword Pavilion's idea, and it didn't matter to Guo Song. He only needed to get the information he wanted from Hidden Sword Pavilion.
At this time, a group of patrolling warriors passed by, and another group of patrolling warriors was still fifty steps away. When the group of patrolling warriors in front walked more than twenty steps, Guo Song lightly jumped onto the high wall and jumped into the courtyard.
, quickly disappeared into the dark mansion...
Guo Song used various pavilions and pavilions as cover and sneaked into the inner house in a short time. The inner house covered an area of thirty acres. Most of it was dark. Only the inner hall was brightly lit. There was a person sitting on a soft couch in the inner hall, with his head on his head.
Wearing a gauze hat inlaid with gold, a purple robe, and a jade belt around his waist, he was drinking alone and leisurely, surrounded by guards who were protecting him.
Guo Song hid in a big tree outside the inner hall. He could see clearly that the person sitting on the soft couch was Li Fuguo.
Guo Song once met Li Fuguo from a distance. Li Fuguo was about fifty years old, well-maintained, fair and chubby, but he had an obvious physical feature, that is, there was a cyan birthmark on his left cheek downwards, which extended to his neck.
Li Fuguo usually covered it up tightly.
But at this time, Guo Song clearly saw Li Fuguo's cyan birthmark on the soft couch. He opened his clothes and exposed the birthmark directly to the light, which was particularly dazzling.
It can be said that now Guo Song can kill Li Fuguo on the soft couch with one arrow, but Guo Song sneered. This is obviously a fake Li Fuguo.
When the court officials returned to the palace, no one would continue to wear official uniforms. They would all change into ordinary uniforms. Now it is the first watch, and Li Fuguo is still wearing a purple robe.
Secondly, covering the birthmark is a habit he has developed over decades. He will not change it easily even if he is asleep, and it is impossible for him to deliberately leave the birthmark open at night. This is obviously for others to see.
Third, among all the guards around him, he didn't see a pair of twin brothers, or in other words, he didn't see a person with strong martial arts skills. Would Chen Huai and Chen Ji not be by his side?
Fourth, these guards looked like a powerful enemy was coming, and they were clearly pretending.
Fifth, Li Fuguo would never sit in a brightly lit inner hall and drink, as this was also a clear target for assassins.
Guo Song immediately concluded that this Li Fuguo was a fake, and the real Li Fuguo was hidden somewhere, maybe in the basement.
Guo Song was in a bit of a dilemma. Li Fuguo's mansion was too big and everything was dark. Where could he find the target? Even if he caught the patrolling samurai and asked, he would definitely not be able to find the target. Could he just wait until daylight?
At this moment, there was a commotion in the front yard of the mansion. Guo Song was startled, and he could only faintly hear someone shouting: "They are coming, hold on!"
The warriors in the inner hall fled one after another, and no one cared about protecting Li Fuguo. For a moment, Li Fuguo was left alone in the inner hall. He was so frightened that he climbed into a large box behind him and hid.
Guo Song knew that the opportunity had come. He jumped onto the roof of the inner hall, quickly ran to the highest point, and looked around.
At this time, he suddenly found a person walking out of the west inner courtyard and hurriedly walked towards the outer house.
In the map given to him by Zangjian Pavilion, no one lives in the West Inner Courtyard and there is only one Buddhist temple. Could it be that Li Fu would be hiding in the West Inner Courtyard?
Guo Song looked at the man walking out of the west inner courtyard again, and saw that this man was about forty years old, short and fat, and did not look like a warrior, but the dozen or so warriors at the gates of the inner house all respected him.
Guo Song immediately flew towards the west inner courtyard.
If something happened in the front yard, it was impossible for Li Fuguo not to care. He would definitely send someone to find out the news. Guo Song could almost conclude that Li Fuguo was hiding in the west inner courtyard.
The west inner courtyard is very quiet and dark, with no lights visible. The courtyard is very wide, with a Buddhist hall to the west and ordinary houses on both sides.
As soon as Guo Song landed, a powerful murderous aura that looked like a real thing rushed from behind. Guo Song was shocked and rushed forward without thinking too much.
He pointed forward like an arrow, and moved forward more than three feet in an instant. He felt the murderous aura behind him weaken slightly, and he immediately drew his sword and swung it, striking behind like lightning.
‘Dang!’ There was a crisp sound, and the weapon behind him was knocked away by him. Guo Song turned his body slightly and turned around.
I saw a slender man like a bamboo pole standing about a foot away, no less tall than me, holding a long sword in his hand. He had a horse face, and his slender eyes flashed with shock. The man obviously didn't
To think that the opponent could actually escape from his killing blow.
Guo Song had never encountered such a dangerous attack. Although the opponent was a sneak attack, his sword skills were so fast that even his fourth senior brother Yang Yu could not catch up. He really tried his best to avoid this attack.
Guo Song immediately concluded that this person should be one of Chen Huai and Chen Jizhong. He immediately looked around vigilantly. Except for the tall and thin man in front of him, there was indeed no one else.
This is strange, don't their brothers always go to school together?
The man in the courtyard was Chen Ji. He made a mistake today. He underestimated the enemy. There was a commotion in the front yard. Then Guo Song appeared in the west inner courtyard. Chen Ji thought he was a warrior from Tianyuan Pavilion or Tianqing Pavilion. He was attacking in the east and west.
A sneak attack on the west inner courtyard.
Chen Ji wanted to kill him with one sword strike, and then quickly retreat, but he didn't expect that the other party actually escaped his one-shot kill.
Chen Ji was in a dilemma. If he retreated, the other party would inevitably discover the lord's hiding place. But if he summoned his brother to come out, there would be no one to protect the lord.
Guo Song did not give him any room to think. The Chen brothers actually separated. What a great opportunity this was.
He rushed forward without hesitation, and with a flash of black shadow, he was in front of Chen Ji's eyes and struck him head-on with a sword. This sword was extremely simple, without any unnecessary movements, but Chen Ji found that he had no way to hide.
He had no choice but to block with his sword and quickly retreated with his body.
This was the second time Guo Song's black sword struck the opponent's blade. With a "click!" sound, Chen Ji's long sword was cut off. The black sword continued to strike. Chen Ji was horrified and raised his head desperately, trying to
He dodged his forehead and was split open by the sword. He felt a sharp pain and his jaw was split open by the sword.
Guo Song's black sword immediately changed from chopping to stabbing, his arm suddenly grew half a foot long, and the black sword penetrated under his jaw, straight through the back of his head.
As soon as Guo Song drew his sword, Chen Ji plopped down on his knees in front of Guo Song. His body was about to collapse, but Guo Song raised his foot to hold his chest, letting the moment freeze for about three seconds. He slowly raised the black sword high.
, slashed down suddenly, and broke Chen Ji's neck with one sword, and his head rolled out ten feet away.
At the same moment, a long and angry roar rushed out from the Buddhist hall, and a similarly tall and thin black figure jumped out from the second floor window. Under the moonlight, another Chen Ji appeared in the air, his face filled with anger.
Distorted.
Guo Song thought in his heart, and Chen Huai was really excited. They were twin brothers, and they had never been separated in the past thirty-five years. Guo Song didn't believe that kind of telepathy, that kind of deep flesh-and-blood affection, and he used the most cruel,
Will Chen Huai be able to endure the most humiliating method of killing Chen Ji?
Chen Huai witnessed his brother being slaughtered with his own eyes. He went crazy and completely lost his mind. Even if Li Fuguo called him urgently from behind, it was of no use.
As soon as his feet landed on the ground, he rushed towards Guo Song like a whirlwind. This was the most powerful martial art of the two brothers, called whirlwind double kill. They cooperated with each other, there were no flaws, and they were extremely fast and could kill the enemy.
Kill quickly.
It's a pity that the double whirlwind turned into a single whirlwind. Without the cooperation of another person, no one can make up for the shortcomings.
If he were an ordinary warrior, he might not be able to see his flaw? Unfortunately, he was facing Guo Song. Guo Song dodged sideways, as fast as a ghost, and dodged to his left. Chen Huai stabbed the air with his sword and did not wait for him to dodge.
When he opened it, he felt a sharp pain under his left rib, and he suddenly realized that his brother had not patched up the flaw on his left side.
He screamed, staggered, fell to one knee on the ground, stretched out his hand to support his body, but before his palms touched the ground, a sharp pain shot through his neck, and he didn't know anything else.
At this time, the short and fat housekeeper came back from inquiring about the news. As soon as he walked into the yard, he was stunned. He saw two heads rolling together and two headless corpses lying in the yard. The tall and thin figures were not the Chen brothers.
He was so frightened that he rolled over and ran towards the outer courtyard, shouting: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
At this time, on the second floor of the Buddhist hall, Li Fuguo was lying on a soft couch, with a black sword pressed against his throat. He said in a trembling voice: "Don't... don't kill me, I'll give you two hundred thousand
...10,000 taels of silver, spare my life."
"Where is the silver?"
"In Baofeng Cabinet, the receipt is in the bag in my arms, and the ring on my hand is... the proof."
"I'm sorry, you have to die!"
Just as Li Fuguo was about to shout, Guo Song pierced his chest with his sword. Li Fuguo screamed and died immediately.
Guo Song found a silk bag and a roster from his arms, wiped three rings from his hands, beheaded Li Fuguo, turned around, jumped onto the roof, and disappeared into the darkness.
