Chapter 129: Assassination of the Eunuch
At the end of the 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 wide and flat, his eyes were thin and long, and his eyebrows were as rough and black as brushes.
It took Guo Song a whole hour to complete this set of disguise films, and he almost lost his patience, at least he didn't want to use it again next time.
The disguise mask given to him by Aunt Gongsun does work well, it is not a complete mask, it is easy to be seen as a false mask, just an inverted triangle mask, just covering the forehead, eyebrows, eyes and nose, the mask is as thin as cicada wings, and it feels no sense on the face.
Then use a light black pigment on the face to smooth evenly, the skin will become dark and shiny, must be washed off with a special agent, the biggest effect is that the thin mask on the face of the traces can not be seen at all, even during the day can not see the user has been disguised.
However, this mask also has great limitations, it can only last for a maximum of one day at a time, and the mask will shrink and wrinkle after the time.
Due to the difficulty of manufacturing, the difficulty of use, and the impracticality of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, the Assassins did not want to show their true faces anyway, and the effect of the mask was the same.
Therefore, there were only ten sets of hidden sword buildings before and after, and all three sets of men's disguise masks were given to Guo Song, and he could dress up as three different people.
Changing his appearance, he quickly changed into a samurai uniform, put his bow and sword behind his back, and went out silently.
He hibernate for twenty days, and during those twenty days he hardly went out, honing his swordsmanship in the house.
I have to say that Aunt Gongsun's vision is very unique and sharp, she saw the weakness of Guo Song's martial arts, that is, the chopping power is strong, but the assassination power is insufficient, and the maximum power of the sword weapon is not brought into play, the fundamental reason is not Guo Song's understanding of the sword, but his wrong weapon.
He shouldn't use a knife, and although a horizontal knife can stab, it was designed to be easy to slash and slash, and it was too far behind a sword in terms of assassination.
But the sword is far weaker than the knife in chopping, so Gongsun Auntie chose a heavy sword for Guo Song, and the chopping and assassination are very good, which makes Guo Song find the feeling of ironwood sword again, after twenty days of closed-door hard practice, his comprehension of the sword weapon has reached another level, and it is not far from the realm of Zhenzhi.
After twenty days of hard practice, Guo Song also studied the black sword for twenty days at the same time, but he still didn't understand what kind of metal the black sword was made of, the sword was three feet long, the style was simple, and the normal sword of the same size as it was eight or nine catties, but it weighed twenty-five catties, and the density was extremely high, he felt very much like ferrotungsten, both hardness and density were very consistent with the characteristics of ferrotungsten.
But this is the Tang Dynasty, and the smelting level of the Tang Dynasty can smelt ferro-tungsten? Unless it is obtained by extreme chance, it becomes a special case, and it cannot be mass-produced, and only then can it be explained.
Twenty days could not determine the material, Guo Song did not bother to study it anymore, no matter what, he used this black sword very easily, which could make his martial arts play to the peak.
Although the black sword is rare in the world, the scabbard is very ordinary, it is a half-worn shark skin scabbard, so ordinary that no one wants to look at it when walking on the street.
Not long after, he came to Guanglufang, Guanglufang is located opposite Taiji Palace, Li Fuguo's giant mansion is in the northwest corner of Guanglufang, covering an area of 100 acres, here was originally the house of Princess Taiping, Li Fuguo made great contributions in the incident of seizing the door, Li Longji rewarded this house to Li Fuguo.
The people of Chang'an say that Li Fuguo sleeps in a room every night, this is not wrong, the three assassinations of Li Fuguo in the Hidden Sword Pavilion were unsuccessful, but instead scared Li Fuguo into a frightened bird, no matter where he went during the day, there were at least a dozen warriors to guard.
At night, there were as many as thirty people protecting him, and they were stationed in front of and behind his bedchamber.
But no matter day or night, the brothers Chen Huai and Chen Ji never left him.
Guo Song stood on a large tree outside the high wall, observing the situation in Li Fuguo's mansion, and he found that the guards in the mansion were extremely tight, there were hundreds of Tang soldiers patrolling along the wall outside, and inside the mansion, there were at least hundreds of warriors secretly guarding.
There are no less than twenty mastiffs patrolling within the walls, of course, this atmosphere of almost a big war has only suddenly heated up recently, and Guo Song knows the reason for this very well.
Today he received a letter from Aunt Gongsun, her visit to King Lu ten days ago caused a series of reactions, and it is needless to say that King Lu and King Zheng politically attacked and smeared each other.
The armed struggle also became increasingly fierce, Yu Chaoen and Cheng Zhenyuan's respective samurai groups had several fires, casualties of more than 40 people, among which Yu Chaoen's deer hunting villa was attacked by dozens of people at night, and the warriors of the mountain villa were killed 16 people, so that the deer hunting villa was almost destroyed.
The struggle between Yu Chaoen and Cheng Zhenyuan also gradually spread to Li Fuguo, Li Fuguo's Tianying Tower continued to have people missing or casualties, and Li Fuguo had transferred all the remaining 37 warriors in Tianying Tower to his own mansion.
Although this will increase the difficulty of Guo Song to assassinate Li Fuguo, it also creates conditions for Guo Song to test Li Fuguo's mansion.
Of course, this is the idea of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, it doesn't matter to Guo Song, he just needs to get the information he wants from the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
At this time, a team of patrol warriors walked by, another team of patrol warriors was still fifty steps away, and after a group of patrol warriors in front of him walked more than twenty steps, Guo Song jumped lightly on the high wall, plunged into the hospital, and quickly disappeared into the dark mansion......
Guo Song used various pavilions and pavilions as a cover, and sneaked into the inner house in a moment, the inner house covers an area of thirty acres, most of them are pitch black, only the inner hall is brightly lit, and there is a person sitting on the soft couch in the inner hall, wearing a gold-inlaid gauze hat, wearing a purple robe, and a jade belt around his waist, he is leisurely drinking alone, surrounded by guards who protect him.
Guo Song hid in a big tree outside the inner hall, and he could see clearly that the person sitting on the soft couch was Li Fuguo.
Guo Song had seen Li Fuguo from afar once, Li Fuguo was about fifty years old, well-maintained, white and fat, but he had an obvious physical feature, that is, his left cheek was downward, and there was a cyan birthmark that extended to his neck, and Li Fuguo usually covered it tightly.
But at this time, Guo Song clearly saw Li Fuguo's cyan birthmark on the soft couch, and he opened the placket of his clothes, so that the birthmark was directly exposed to the light, which was particularly dazzling.
It can be said that now Guo Song can shoot Li Fuguo on the soft couch with one arrow, but Guo Song sneered, this is clearly a fake Li Fuguo.
When the court officials return to the mansion, no one will continue to wear official uniforms, they will change to ordinary regular clothes, and now it is time for the first shift, and this Li Fuguo is still wearing a purple robe.
The second is that covering the birthmark is a habit he has developed for decades, and even if he falls asleep, he will not change it easily, and it is impossible to deliberately open the birthmark at night, which is clearly for others to see.
Third, among all the guards around, he didn't see a pair of twin brothers, or rather, he didn't see a person with strong martial arts, Chen Huai and Chen Ji would not be by his side?
Fourth, these guards looked like a great enemy was coming, and they were clearly pretending.
Fifth, Li Fuguo would never sit in the brightly lit inner hall and drink, and he also made it clear that he was attacking the assassins.
Guo Song immediately concluded that this Li Fuguo was a fake, and the real Li Fuguo didn't know where to hide, maybe he was hiding in the basement.
Guo Song was a little embarrassed, Li Fuguo's mansion was too big, and it was dark everywhere, where did he go to find a target? Even if you catch the patrolling samurai and ask, you will definitely not be able to ask, can you only wait for daytime?
At this moment, there was a commotion in the front yard of the mansion, Guo Song was stunned, and only faintly heard someone shouting: "They are coming, resist!" ”
The warriors in the inner hall fled one after another, and no one cared about protecting Li Fuguo, and for a moment, Li Fuguo was left alone in the inner hall, he was so frightened that he trembled all over, and actually crawled into a large box behind him to hide.
Guo Song knew that the opportunity had come, so he jumped onto the roof of the inner hall, quickly ran to the top, and looked around.
At this time, he suddenly noticed that a person had walked out of the west inner courtyard and hurried towards the outer house.
In the map given to him by the Hidden Sword Pavilion, there is no one living in the West Inner Courtyard, there is only one Buddha Hall, could it be that Li Fuguo is hiding in the West Inner Courtyard?
Guo Song looked at the person who walked out of the west inner courtyard again, and saw that this person was about forty years old, short and fat, not like a warrior, but the dozen or so warriors at the gate of the inner mansion were respectful to him.
Guo Song immediately flew towards the west inner courtyard.
If there is an accident in the front yard, it is impossible for Li Fuguo not to care, and he will inevitably send someone to inquire about the news, and Guo Song can almost conclude that Li Fuguo is hiding in the west inner courtyard.
The west inner courtyard is very quiet, it is also dark, there is not a single light, the courtyard is very wide, there is a Buddhist hall on the west side, and ordinary houses on both sides.
As soon as Guo Song landed, a powerful murderous aura shaped like a real thing rushed from behind him, Guo Song was shocked, and he didn't think about it anymore, and rushed forward.
He marked forward like an arrow, and in an instant, he moved forward more than three feet, only to feel that the murderous aura behind him weakened slightly, and he immediately drew his sword and swung it, slashing backwards like lightning.
'When! With a crisp sound, the weapon behind him was knocked away by him, Guo Song rolled over slightly, and his body turned around.
I saw a slender man like a bamboo pole standing a zhang away, no less tall than himself, holding a long sword, I saw that he had a horse face, and his slender eyes flashed with shock, the man obviously didn't expect that the other party would be able to escape from his mortal blow.
Guo Song had never encountered such a dangerous attack, although the other party was a sneak attack, but the swordsmanship was so fast that even the fourth senior brother Yang Yu was beyond his reach, and he really tried his best to avoid this attack.
Guo Song immediately concluded that this person should be one of Chen Huai and Chen Ji, and he immediately looked around vigilantly, except for the thin and tall man in front of him, there was indeed no one else.
Isn't it strange that their brothers never all go together?
The man in the courtyard is Chen Ji, he made a mistake today, he underestimated the enemy, there was a commotion in the front yard, and then Guo Song appeared in the west inner courtyard, Chen Ji thought it was a warrior from Tianyuan Pavilion or Tianqing Pavilion, and attacked the west and attacked the west inner courtyard.
Chen Ji wanted to kill him with a sword, and then quickly retreated, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually escape his kill.
Chen Ji is in a dilemma, if he retreats, he will inevitably be discovered by the other party, but he can summon his brother out, and there will be no one to protect him.
Guo Song didn't give him room to think, the Chen brothers actually separated, what a good opportunity.
He rushed forward without hesitation, the black shadow flashed, and instantly came to Chen Ji's eyes, and slashed head-on with a sword, this sword was extremely simple, without any superfluous movements, but Chen Ji found that he couldn't dodge, he had to swing his sword to block, and his body quickly retreated back at the same time.
This is the second time that Guo Song's black sword has struck the opponent's blade, just listen to 'click!' With a bang, Chen Ji's long sword was actually cut off, and the black sword continued to split, Chen Ji was horrified, desperately tilted his head upward, trying to avoid his head being split by the sword, he only felt a sharp pain, and his jaw was split by the sword.
Guo Song's black sword was immediately changed to a thorn, his arm exploded half a foot long, and the black sword pierced from his jaw, piercing through the back of his head.
As soon as Guo Song drew his sword, Chen Ji knelt down in front of Guo Song, his body was about to fall softly, but Guo Song raised his foot against his chest, allowing this moment to freeze for about three seconds, he slowly raised the black sword, slashed down, and a sword broke Chen Ji's neck, and the head rolled out of the body.
At the same moment, a long howl of grief and indignation rushed out of the Buddhist hall, and an equally thin and tall black shadow jumped out of the window on the second floor, and under the moonlight, another Chen Ji appeared in the air, so angry that his face was deformed.
Guo Song said in his heart, and really stirred Chen Huai out, they are twin brothers, they have never been separated for thirty-five years, that kind of telepathy, that kind of deep flesh and blood feelings, Guo Song doesn't believe that he used the most brutal and humiliating means to kill Chen Ji, Chen Huai will be able to bear it?
Chen Huai witnessed his brother being brutally killed, he went crazy and completely lost his mind, even if Li Fuguo shouted at him in the back, it was useless.
As soon as his feet landed, he killed Guo Song like a whirlwind, this is the most powerful martial art of the two brothers, called the whirlwind double kill, they cooperate with each other, there are no flaws, the speed is extremely fast, and the enemy can be quickly killed.
It's a pity that the double whirlwind has become a single whirlwind, and without the cooperation of another person, there is no one to make up for the flaw.
If it was an ordinary samurai, maybe you wouldn't be able to see where his flaws were? It's a pity that he faced Guo Song, Guo Song flashed sideways, his body was as fast as a ghost, flashed to his left, Chen Huai stabbed the air with a sword, and before he could dodge, he only felt a sharp pain under his left ribs, and he suddenly realized that his brother did not make up for him on the left side.
He screamed, staggered, fell to one knee on the ground, stretched out his hand to support his body, his palm had not yet touched the ground, his neck was in sharp pain, and he didn't know anything.
At this time, the short and fat housekeeper came back from inquiring about the news, and just walked into the courtyard, he was stunned, only to see two human heads rolling together, and two headless corpses lying in the courtyard, the tall and thin figure was not the Chen brothers, he was so frightened that he crawled to the outer courtyard and shouted: "Come on!" Come on! ”
At this time, on the second floor of the Buddha Hall, Li Fuguo was lying on the soft couch, a black sword was pressed against his throat, and he said in a trembling voice: "Don't.... Don't kill me, I'll give you 200,000... Ten thousand taels of silver, spare my life. ”
"Where is the silver?"
"In Baofeng Cabinet Workshop, the bill is in the bag in my arms, and the ring on my hand is.... It's the credentials. ”
"I'm sorry, you have to die!"
Li Fuguo was just about to shout, Guo Song pierced his chest with a sword, Li Fuguo screamed and died instantly.
Guo Song searched for a silk bag and a roster from his arms, wiped three rings from his hands, cut off Li Fuguo's head, turned around and jumped on the roof, and disappeared into the darkness.
