Chapter 768: Assassinating Liu Xiu?

After this war, the six major princes of Jingzhou were killed and captured, not only did there be a vacuum in power, but also the strength of the army was sharply reduced by half.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that Hong Xiuquan of Jiaozhou in the south will not let go of this opportunity and will definitely lead the army to invade Jingzhou.

Now the only thing in Jingzhou that Qin Hao cares about is Liu Xiu, a potential big threat, and only he is Qin Hao will never let go, but it is not so simple to kill Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu may not be able to resist the Qin army, but it doesn't mean that Liu Xiu can't run away?

With the lessons of this battle, it is impossible for Liu Xiu to fight a head-on battle with the Qin army, so even if he sends a large army to encircle and suppress, it does not necessarily ensure that Liu Xiu will be killed, and as long as Liu Xiu cannot be killed, there is no point in sending troops.

Since it was difficult to send an army to kill Liu Xiu head-on, Qin Hao was ready to send a killer to assassinate him, and while the effect of Liu Xiu's 'Mandate of Heaven' had not yet recovered, he would directly nip this threat in the bud.

As for the killer candidate, Qin Hao already had a plan in his heart, he was ready to send all the seven swords, and he must ensure that he would be killed with one blow.

As soon as he returned to Wancheng, Qin Hao immediately summoned Dugu and the other seven people, and gave them the task of assassinating Liu Xiu.

In the face of this mission, Dugu and the others were very surprised, after all, Liu Xiu was only a general of the defeated army, and his forces were also very weak, and there were no famous masters.

Why is the lord so jealous of such a man who is not even a prince, and sends seven of them to act together, any one of them is enough, right?

Although the Seven Great Swordsmen were confused, after all, this mission was personally ordered by Qin Hao, so they would never refuse at all, and went south directly to Jiangling without even asking the reason.

On the way, the seven people got the news that Liu Xiu was named Jingzhou Mu, and then they realized how vicious Qin Hao's vision was, Liu Xiu was a hidden dragon!

On the way to Jiangling, Xun Kuang, who was wearing a Confucian robe, slowly walked to the middle of the road, looked at the seven people on horseback with a smile, and said with a smile: "Seven little friends, where are you going?" ”

The people looked at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, although Jingzhou is a place where hundreds of schools gather, but they won't run into it when they go out, right?

And isn't the stronghold of Confucianism in Yingchuan? Why did the former leader of Confucianism appear here?

After all, Xun Shuang was once the leader of Confucianism, and he was also listed as the 'Tianxia Sect' with Guiguzi, and the reason why Xun Shuang, the contemporary Confucian leader, was able to be listed as the 'World Master' alongside Guiguzi was also because of his background in the Xun family and the blessings left by Xun Condition.

Therefore, although the seven people couldn't guess Xun Qian's thoughts, they didn't dare to slack off, and at the same time dismounted and walked to Xun Jing to show respect.

Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, Xun Kuang is Xun Yu's grandfather after all, and Xun Yu's status in the Qin army is very high, but he is one of the few people second only to Qin Hao.

"I've seen Master Xun."

With Gai Nie taking the lead, the seven of them saluted respectfully, and then Gai Nie spoke again: "We naturally have a task, why would a respected person like Master Xun appear in such a wild place?" ”

"Naturally, I came here for the mission of the seven little friends."

Xun Guo smiled indifferently, stroked his long beard, and said kindly: "The old man watched the sky at night and found that the fate of the three little friends was dim, it is not appropriate to go south at this time, and it will be difficult to force the south, so I will persuade you to return the same way." ”

When the seven people heard this, they immediately frowned, and said in their hearts that this is not good, but how did Xun know the content of their mission?

Also, didn't Confucianism support the lord?

The intricate relationship between Qin Hao and the hundred families, except for Qin Hao himself, I am afraid that no one can figure it out, and the three of them naturally don't know.

Although the seven people are confused, they will not give up the task because of this, they respect Xun Yu because of Xun Yu, but if Xun Yu hinders their mission, then they can only kill him.

Dugu stood up with a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "Master Xun, we have long put life and death aside, and the task is more important than our lives, so please don't embarrass us." ”

After that, Dugu led the horse, walked forward expressionlessly, and directly bypassed Xun Quan.

The other six swords were also stunned when they saw this, since Dugu dared to ignore Xun who was the 'Heaven Sect', this courage alone was more than them.

"Master Xun, please forgive me." Gai Nie said lightly, and then the six of them followed.

was embarrassed by the seven juniors, but Xun Jing didn't understand anger at all, but his eyes narrowed slightly and his lips moved lightly, although he didn't make a sound, but the seven people behind him changed their faces greatly, and turned around at the same time, with a solemn look on guard against this old man.

Dense sound transmission is not only a sound transmission technique, but also a means of attack, through internal force to directly transmit the sound to other people's brains, practice to Dacheng can directly blast the enemy's head through sound.

Of course, this kind of secret technique can't hurt the grandmaster, and the real shock of the three of them is not Xun Jing's strength, but what he said.

If that's the case, Liu Xiu is really not easy to kill.

The three of them secretly said in their hearts, now that the incident has escalated, it is not a problem that can be solved by killing a Liu Xiu, but their task has become secondary.

Xun Kuang took out a piece of letterhead and said lightly: "Bring this letter back to Qin Hao, rest assured, not only will he not blame you for giving up the task, but will also reward you." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and Dugu took the lead in standing up and taking it, and said, "Master Xun, there will be a period later." ”

Dugu bowed his hand to defeat, and then the three of them left directly, coming and going faster.

Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, Xun Jing also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he was the cultivation of the Great Grandmaster, if he fought, he really didn't have to be the opponent of the seven pure kendo masters.

Thinking of the experience just now, Xun Kuang's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of loneliness, and he sighed: "Qin Hao, why is your vision so accurate, now my Confucianism is about to be completely split." ”

Glancing at the direction of Jiangling, Xun Jing sighed: "Xiu'er, the old man can only do it for you, you can do it yourself." ”

With that, Xun Guan tapped his toes lightly, and soon disappeared into the mountains.

Qin Hao, who was far away in Wancheng, didn't know that this assassination operation had failed just at the beginning, and he was arranging Xiangyang matters at this time.

Looking at the heroic and upright Yue Fei below, Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Yue Fei, this general ordered you to be the general of Xiangyang, lead 15,000 troops to guard the four counties of Nanjun, and allow you to open the granary of Xiangyang Treasury, select the strong from the soldiers and the people, and expand the army to 60,000 people." ”

Yue Fei suddenly showed excitement, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for your trust, and your subordinates can only repay them with broken bones." ”
