Chapter 45: Li Luo's blackmail letter

During this time, Li Luo spent a lot of time practicing his sword skills. Not for anything else, just for self-preservation.

He has good physical fitness and strength, and he has also fought against Captain Cao in Mani Mountain, although he was defeated, and finally killed Captain Cao by means of a bow and a clip, but after all, it is a valuable white-knuckle combat experience.

Now his level of white-knuckle combat is much stronger than before, and if he fights against Captain Cao again, he already has a chance to win.

Liu Wu, as one of the three private soldiers of the Liu family, is definitely stronger than Cao Bingchang, but it is impossible to be too strong. In addition, he was not lightly injured and had gained courage, and he had every hope of killing him personally.

Cui Xiuning was a little worried, but when he saw Du Lie bending his bow and arrows in case of accidents, he was relieved.

Anyway, even if Li Luo was defeated, Liu Wu would not have a chance to kill him.

Li Luo took the initiative to attack, slashing Liu Wu obliquely with a knife, ruthless and fast!

Liu Wu only looked at this knife, and his confidence began to waver: This little white face can use a knife!

Liu Wu shed a lot of blood, lost his strength, and his reaction was no longer agile, he held the knife in his right hand and tried his best to block Li Luo's killing move.

But his body took a few steps back before he could stand firm.

This little white face has such strength!

Li Luo slashed back Liu Wu with a knife, and his confidence skyrocketed, and he moved forward steadily under his feet, stabbing or slashing, tiger and tiger, quite orderly.

Liu Wu was unable to support his one-armed, and his right shoulder was in severe pain, so he could only be forced to retreat step by step, desperately resisting, and after a while, he felt that the straight knife held in his right hand was getting heavier and heavier.

He didn't expect Li Luo to look like a pampered little white face, but not only was he very strong, but his knife skills were also a little hot. If he hadn't been injured, he would have been confident that he would have killed the other party within ten swords. But now, he has no power to fight back.

When everyone saw this, they knew that the winner had been decided.

Li Luo suddenly slowed down his attack, constantly giving Liu Wu a chance to fight back.

Liu Wu finally counterattacked several times, but was blocked by Li Luo. After repeating this seven or eight times, Li Luo gained more experience in white-bladed blocking, and the offensive and defensive transitions became more and more natural and skillful.

Liu Wu's face was pale, half of his body was stained red by the blood from the wound on his left shoulder, not only his strength became weaker and weaker, but even his eyes began to turn black. In the end, he only relied on the obsession of survival to fight desperately.

Until now, Li Luo knows that Liu Wu's sparring value is gone, and he can be killed.

Li Luo retracted the knife and stabbed straight with a sudden step, easily stabbing into Liu Wu's chest, and at the same time kicked out with one kick and drew the knife.

Liu Wu screamed and fell to the ground. He tried to raise his head, staring at Li Luo and Cui Xiuning with resentment, and died after a few struggles.

"Collect their knives, cut off their heads, show them in the township on charges of piracy, and then send them to the county guard yamen to record their merits!" Li Luo commanded.

…………

Liu Chengrin waited until the sky was bright, and he didn't see Liu Wu and the others come back, where did he not know that the assassination failed?

"What a bunch of rubbish! Mistake me for a big deal! ”

Liu Chengrafter's face was gloomy as if it was about to freeze, and the two concubines around him were also trembling with fright.

Liu Chengrin got up in his clothes and immediately ordered to inquire about the situation. Then kneel down in front of the desk and think about what to do next.

Liu Wu and the others must have failed, if they all died, it would be fine, they were afraid of being captured by Li Luo, and it would be troublesome to confess that he instructed the assassination.

In the past few years, Liu Chengrin has done several assassinations, all of which have been successful without exception, and he has not left a handle.

This time the assassination of Li Luo, he thought it would be as smooth as before. After all, there is no high wall protection in the place where Li Luo lives, and there are only a few villagers as guards at night. And the eleven people he sent were all elite private soldiers, and they were calculated or not. How could it fail?

It doesn't make sense!

Could it be that the plan was leaked, and Li Luo took precautions and set up an ambush?

If so, who would have leaked the news?

There were only a few people present at the time, and Yoo Sung-rafter quickly thought of Ji Ding. Because only Ji Ding goes out the most, he is also the most suspicious.

However, Liu Chengrin did not dare to conclude that the assassination failure was caused by a leak.

It is also possible that Li Luo was originally very afraid of death, so there were many guards hidden around him, and Liu Wu was outnumbered.

There is still a possibility ......

The more Ryu thought about it, the more he felt that anything was possible.

But the top priority is to get rid of the relationship with the Liu family!

Li Luo is a nine-rank official appointed by the county guard himself, and he also has a friendship with the master of the Chuandeng Temple, and it is said that he is also a registered disciple of the national teacher of the Yuan Dynasty, and he also worked as a small official in the Prince of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

What's more, it is very likely that Li Luo is really the Li bloodline of Renzhou.

The Inju Lee clan is one of the top clans in Goryeo. It's definitely not something that the Liu family can fight against.

Whether the rumors are true or not, it is somewhat certain that Li Luo must have a very good background and is definitely not an ordinary person.

If the Liu family's assassination of Li Luo is confirmed, it will at least anger the county guard Zheng Lu and offend the master of the Chuandeng Temple. He joined the army with this seven-grade grade, and he can be regarded as the end.

That's still the best outcome. The worst result is to anger the Li family of Renzhou, and the entire Liu family will be unlucky.

In fact, if it weren't for Li Luo's actions that hindered the Liu family's expansion plan and frustrated the Liu family's plan to use the famine year to lend usury to force the people into slavery, Liu Chengrin would not be willing to take the risk of assassinating Li Luo.

In the morning, the news finally came. There are ten pirates who entered the capital village at night to rob and kill, and were hit by Li Duzhai who took the township to patrol the night, fortunately, there were many archers in the night patrol township, and six of the ten thieves were shot and killed on the spot, and four were hacked to death by the people.

Now all ten people have been beheaded, and tomorrow they will be displayed in the township for another day, and the day after tomorrow they will be sent to the county guard yamen.

Now the people in the village are running to tell each other, and the people are happy. Because of the plague of pirates over the years, the people have suffered greatly. Now ten people have been exterminated, of course, it is Li Duzhai's merit.

When Liu Chengrin heard the news, he finally determined that Liu Wu and the others were all wiped out. If Liu Wu happened to meet Li Luo and Xiang Yong patrolling the night, and there were archers among Xiang Yong, then it would be normal for Liu Wu to fail.

Liu Chengrin sent someone to investigate again, and sure enough, Li Luo did lead dozens of villagers to patrol last night, and he couldn't fake it.

In this case, it is not caused by leaks, but Liu Wu's bad luck and the wrong time.

What Liu Chengrin didn't know was that after Li Luo killed Liu Wu and others last night, he really led people to patrol the night, and deliberately let many villagers know. There is only one purpose, to confuse the public and prevent Liu Chengrin from thinking of someone to tell him, so as to protect Ji Ding from suspicion.

"Waste...... Darn! Liu Wu's death is not a pity! ”

Liu Chengrin gritted his teeth and scolded, but he didn't scold, after all, he didn't want to chill the private soldiers around him.

Ryu Chengrin was angry when a question suddenly came to mind.

Wrong!

Why ten, the assassins he sent out were eleven!

What about one more? Ran away? Or......

Liu Chengrin immediately sent someone to find out, whether it was ten or eleven.

Soon, the private soldiers came to report, and indeed said ten people. Li Luodu issued an announcement and stamped it and posted it, so there will be no mistake.

Liu Chengrin thought hard, there were ten people killed by Li Luo, so what about the other one? Who is this man? Is it dead or alive?

That's a live mouth! Witnesses!

Just when Liu Chengrin was worried, suddenly a private soldier came in and said: "Da Langjun, Duzhai Li Luo sent someone to send a letter. ”

What the?

Liu Chengrin took it and looked at it, and the envelope was impressive: "Liu joined the army and opened it in person, Li Luo of Renzhou." ”

Liu Chengrin saw that this is a handsome and elegant calligraphy, which has everyone's demeanor.

Liu Chengrin couldn't help but admire. Just looking at this word, you can know that Li Luo is by no means idle, and he must be from an extraordinary background.

But when he opened it and saw the content, Liu Chengrin almost laughed angrily.

It actually read: "I know all the enthusiasm of joining the army last night." Now let's talk about two distinctions. First, when he joined the army, he was sympathetic to the simplicity of the capital, and he paid 2,000 yuan to help him, and he was rewarded for his efforts to suppress bandits. The second is that he is reluctant to join the army for only 2,000 yuan, and he should report the truth to the county guard. I hope to join the army, don't make a mistake. ”

Liu Chengrin endured his anger and looked at it again, and suddenly laughed. The tears of laughter came out, and even Liu Chengming next to him didn't dare to squeak.

Liu Cheng's rafter lungs exploded.

Over the years, he has made people deflated, ruined, enslaved, and killed. Has he ever suffered a loss?

But now, not only did the assassination fail and lose eleven elite soldiers, but this Li Luo actually blackmailed him and asked him for 2,000 hush money!

However, can you not give it?

That one should be in Li Luo's hands, and he must have confessed. That's why Li Luo said that ten people were killed, not eleven.

This is the human witness! Moreover, the private soldiers who were killed must also be recognized by the villagers as the private soldiers of the Liu family.

If Li Luo was more serious, his plan to assassinate him would be confirmed. Assassination is a taboo in officialdom, and the county guard will not let it go lightly, and losing his official position is certain.

Liu Chengming couldn't help but pick up the letter and read it, and his face changed, "Big brother, this ...... To give or not to give? ”

"Give it to him!" Liu Chengrin gritted his teeth and smiled, "It's only two thousand, he doesn't want much, hehe......"
