The night is like ink, and the sun and moon are dull.

In the middle of Yecheng, it is quiet.

In the former Jin King City, three miles to the left of the Assassin's Mansion, in a sturdy cell, it looked like a house palace on the outside, but under the dungeon, it was dark and damp, and the bamboo mats were spread on the ground.

Jizhou Thorn Shi Xu You, wearing a robe, sat cross-legged with a cold expression.

He was only being held in this huge cell.

Under the footsteps of dozens of guards and soldiers patrolling back and forth in the cell, there was silence, and at this time, Xu You's heart suddenly couldn't help but feel a chill rise, he opened his eyes, and muttered: "Suddenly the mood is not sounding, why?" Could it be that the limit of a certain family is approaching? ”

Xu Yu was Yuan Shao's general in the past.

After pacifying Jizhou, he and Xun You and Xiahou Yuan guarded Jizhou, and later Xun You went south and returned to Luoyang, while Xiahou Yuan led his troops north to attack Youzhou.

The whole Jizhou is the only one who is respected.

However, the good times did not last long, and when the news of the defeat of the battle in Youzhou came, he was already a little worried.

Cao Pi led his army south.

He didn't have much defense, after all, he didn't know the situation in Youzhou at that time, and Cao Pi was still Cao Cao's son, the current prince, and it was a matter of course to welcome him into the city.

At that time, after Cao Pi entered the city, he immediately turned his face, occupied Yecheng by force, and directly imprisoned him.

Thinking that he had a dignified history of Jizhou and ordered Jizhou, he couldn't obey, but overnight, he became a prisoner.

But he knew very well in his heart that Cao Pi should not dare to kill him.

Although Cao Pi showed a rebellious heart, he did not have the courage to take responsibility, and he did not have Cao Cao's strong mentality that could be put to death and reborn. I didn't dare to kill him when I first entered Yecheng, and I don't dare to do it now.

Because he represents the Great Wei Dynasty.

However, Cao Pi didn't dare, and others might not dare to ......

So he was still a little worried.

Rumble!

Just when Xu You was emotionally uneasy, under a sudden roar, the door of the cell was violently blasted open from the outside, and dozens of black-clothed people moved like the wind. One by one, they held ring knives and slashed the guards one after another.

"Who dares to break into the prison?"

One by one, the guards drew their broadswords and slashed at the man in black.

"Kill!"

This black-clothed man was elite and strong, and in just a quarter of an hour, he killed all the guards in the prison.

"Who are you?" Xu You raised his head and looked at the man in black.

"Xu Yuanjun, I am a swordsman under the command of a ghost pawn, please come with us!"

The black-clad general at the head. With the swing of the long sword, he directly broke through the shackles of the cell, walked in, looked at Xu You, saw a token on his body, and said respectfully: "The Great Commander is already waiting for you in the city!" ”

"So you're a ghost pawn swordsman!"

Xu You looked at the token of the ghost pawn, and suddenly realized that he was relieved. As for the ghost pawn swordsman, he naturally heard of it. This is an elite dead soldier under the command of the ghost pawn, and he should have been sent by the imperial court to rescue him.

He stood up and said, "It's just in time, let's go!" ”

Woohoo!!

At this time, they had not yet come out of their cells, outside the prison. Suddenly, another group of men in black was killed, and the number of men in black was not large, but there were only a dozen people, but Igor was very elite. Holding a light crossbow, he is constantly shooting ghost swordsmen.

In the face of this round of shooting, six or seven ghost pawn swordsmen who bore the brunt of the attack fell down with a sound.

"Damn, who are you?"

The leader of the ghost swordsman glared angrily, his body stood in front of Xu You, and his fierce momentum exploded, and a sword broke through the air, cutting down more than a dozen arrows from strong crossbows in a row.

"The one who killed you, of course!"

A hoarse voice sounded throughout the cell, and under the murderous awe, this group of black-clothed people swarmed in: "Kill, not a single one will be left!" ”

"Kill!"

In this small cell environment, a skirmish-like battle directly began, and both sides were basically dead soldiers in the dark, elite assassins, and for a while, there was no winner or loser.

"Ghost pawn, protect the envoy, kill me!"

The leader of the ghost pawns had cold eyes, and he was the first to kill, one person and one sword, invincible, and under the explosion of gangqi, no one could stop the power of his sword.

"It turned out to be the chief swordsman of the ghost pawn, Shi A, who has been famous for a long time, but this is the first time we have met, and we are fortunate to meet!" When a voice like a poisonous snake sounded, a sword burst through the sky in the darkness and stabbed at the head of the leader of the ghost pawns, as fast as lightning and at a tricky angle.

"Bell!"

The pupils of the leader of the ghost pawns contracted, a sword back, the two swords met, and a long spark was pulled, and he took three steps back, feeling a trace of wetness under his neck, and it was the blood flowing out of the broken skin.

It's too dangerous.

He almost died.

There was a look of horror in his eyes, holding a long sword in his hand, and he looked at the assassin not far in front of him, as if he had come out of the void: "This is the Spirit Snake Flash, you are Gao Wang, the first assassin of Eastern Wu?" ”

The ghost pawn and the brocade guard have been fighting in the dark for many years, although they have always been at a disadvantage, whether it is an intelligence competition or a confrontation in the dark, they are all winning less and losing more.

But for Jinyiwei, they still have some deep understanding, maybe they don't know a lot about Jinyiwei's hidden intelligence network, but Jinyiwei's assassin power, they are absolutely clear, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, invincible.

"I didn't expect that we would meet here, fortunately!"

At this moment, Shi A, the leader of the ghost pawns, became solemn in his heart, facing the first assassin of Eastern Wu, even if he was strong, he did not dare to underestimate it in the slightest.

"Kill!"

Gao Forget held the long sword and killed, the figure seemed to melt into the darkness, the sword just now was his assassination sword move, superb, but he was not able to kill this kendo powerhouse.

He knew that with his own skills, he might not be able to beat history.

"Jin Yi belongs, listen to my orders. I'll stop them, all obey the order, and kill Xu Yu quickly! ”

So Gao Forget changed his strategy, as long as he delayed the time, the assassins under his command could kill Xu You.

"The ghost pawn obeyed the order, and you immediately escorted the envoy away. I'm going to hold them back! ”

Shi A, the leader of the ghost pawns, shouted, opened the way with his sword, and broke through Gao Forget.

Although this prison is not small, it is not a suitable battlefield built under the cellar, and in a few narrow corridors, the ghost swordsmen and the brocade assassins have already fought together, and the battle under the lights is as violent as madness. One by one, the figures fell.

"Implement the second plan, broken lights!"

Gao Forget couldn't break through the defense of the ghost pawn for a while, and he had a plan, and suddenly shouted at the assassins under his command.

Woohoo......

Under the swing of the long swords of several assassins in brocade, the lights in the prison were suddenly shattered, and it was suddenly dark. In the darkness, there was silence. No one dared to move.

"Chief, it's not good, make Jun die!"

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence.

"Nonsense, I'm still here!"

Xu You was quite calm, but when he heard this sentence, he instinctively hurriedly shouted. He had just finished shouting, when suddenly a chill surged through his heart, as if he had been targeted by a poisonous snake.

"Don't make a sound!"

Shi A already had a feeling of unease when he heard the first voice, but unfortunately his police were too late, and Xu Yu had already spoken out. His voice revealed his position, and he hurriedly drew his sword in the direction of the voice.

Shout!

In the darkness, a sword was cold, blood splashed three feet, a head soared high, and then under the collision of two swords, a long spark was pulled out of the staggering, reflecting the two pale faces.

"Shi'a, you lost today, we'll come back tomorrow!"

In the darkness, the voice of Gao Oblivion sounded faintly.

Then there was a burst of footsteps, and it was obvious that the assassins of the Jinyi Guard had retreated outside, and the entire cell suddenly had a somewhat dead atmosphere.

"Palm Lamp!"

Shi Ah drank.

Several ghost swordsmen hurriedly went to palm the lamp, the light flashed, and the head of a corpse had been cut off, and he couldn't see it, as if he couldn't believe it when he was cut off, and the blood was flowing on the ground.

This corpse is Xu Yu's corpse.

"Damn it!"

Shi A's heart was furious, he actually let the brocade-clothed assassin kill Xu Yu under his nose, which was definitely a great shame for him.

"Chief, the situation in the prison has alarmed the nearby garrison, and hundreds of soldiers and horses have surrounded this place!" A ghost pawn swordsman came to report.

"Withdraw!"

Shi A's eyes were as hot as fire, but he could only suppress the resentment in his heart and drank in a low voice.

"No!"

After everyone received the order, this group of ghost swordsmen withdrew from the palace of King Jin in an orderly manner along a remote path in the dark.

An hour later.

In a mess of cells.

Cao Pi was dressed in a brocade robe, came in a hurry, staring at the corpses on the ground one by one, and finally looked at Xu Yu's corpse, with a handsome look of gloom: "They are so daring, they actually killed people under my eyelids!" ”

"In the palace of guards, you were actually killed by assassins in prison, I don't know yet, it's really useless!" Cao Pi was furious, his voice became more and more gloomy, his eyes looked at several generals, and he shouted coldly: "If the assassin wants to kill a certain family, is it a certain family that died today?" ”

"We are derelict in our duties, please punish Your Highness!"

The generals were in a cold sweat and hurriedly bowed their heads and confessed.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince!"

Cui Zhouping arched his hand and said: "Now that I have checked the corpse, there are two groups of assassins, one of which is to save people, and the other is to kill!" ”

"Who the hell?"

Cao Pi took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked in a cold voice.

"Report to the second prince, the eighteen corpses left by the assassins, these corpses have tokens on them to identify themselves, what can be determined at present is that one of them is a ghost swordsman, and the other should be a brocade-clothed assassin, but there is something strange about this?" Cui Zhou Ping Road.

"What's so strange?" Cao Pi asked: "The ghost swordsman must have come to save Xu You, and the Jinyi assassin must have come to kill Xu You if he wants us to have civil strife, this is normal!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, this is normal, but among the seven corpses of the brocade-clothed assassin, one of them is somewhat familiar!" Cui Zhouping pointed to one of the corpses and said in a low voice: "He is a Wei person, and he is still a soldier of the East Palace, the second prince should have some impressions!" ”

"This is one of the personal soldiers under the command of the imperial brother, Han Zhou!"

Cao Pi looked at the face of this assassin, immediately gritted his teeth, and suddenly a spiritual light burst out in his mind: "This is not a brocade assassin at all, but it is just an imitation of the brocade assassin and died, it turned out that the imperial brother was making trouble in it, he actually sent someone to kill Xu You, what does he want to do?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is probably intentional!" Cui Zhouping's eyes inadvertently crossed a gleam, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "What he means is to let His Highness never return to the court!" ”

"Brother Huang, he's so ruthless!"

"Your Highness, Xu Yu is dead, and we are currently ready to fly, so we have to send it!"

Cui Zhouping took a step forward and arched his hand and said: "My subordinates are willing to share the worries of His Highness, lead 30,000 young and strong people, and 10,000 Black Mountain troops to go north to Julu Qinghe, block Yu Ban Xu Huang, buy time for His Highness, and negotiate with the imperial court!" ”

As long as he doesn't take away the elite people under Cao Pi's command, Cao Pi will not suspect him, these young and strong and Montenegrin troops are all recruited, and for Cao Pi, they are cannon fodder.

"Do you have confidence?"

Cao Pi gritted his teeth, he also knew that as long as Xu Yu died, he and the court would have no room for recovery, so he could only strike first, otherwise he would die by himself, his eyes looked at this loyal strategist of his own, and asked in a deep voice.

Yu Ban Xu Huang is not easy to deal with, can he deal with this little soldier alone?

At that time, he was a little uneasy about using the elite under his command.

"In order to repay His Highness's kindness, his subordinates will never give up, as long as his subordinates do not die, they will never be allowed to go south half a step!" Cui Zhouping shouted loudly, his voice firm.

"Good!"

Cao Pi felt a little relieved in his heart, and said: "As long as you can support it for a month, you will definitely be able to let my father loosen his mouth and spit out the position of assassination!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It was almost dawn, and it was dark.

In an old mansion in Yecheng, Jia Xu was wearing a robe, standing in the courtyard, under the light of a faint oil lamp, his eyes looked at the small lake, and his water chestnut face looked gloomy and cold.

"Failed?"

His voice was very faint, but it was cold, like a poisonous snake sticking out its tongue, cold to the bone.

"We are derelict in our duties, please punish the commander!"

Dozens of black-clothed men knelt behind him, Shi A broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, bowed down and said: "The assassin in brocade is killed, and his subordinates lose their skills, and they are willing to be punished!" ”

"Who is it?"

"Report to the Great Commander, it's Gao Wang, the first assassin of Eastern Wu!"

"It turned out to be him, no wonder you missed!"

Jia Xu smiled coldly: "This guy was the assassin who assassinated the last emperor of the Han Dynasty back then, and his fame chased the assassin Jing Ke who went down in history, and it was not a shame to lose to him!" ”

"If he fights alone, he is not my opponent!" Shi Ah gritted his teeth.

"But when it comes to assassination, he is better than you, otherwise you would have been killed by him in front of everyone, protecting Xu You, isn't you?" Jia Xu said.

"If I meet him again, I will kill him!" Shi Ah said coldly.

"What will happen in the future, we will talk about it later!"

Jia Xu said calmly: "Since Xu Yu is dead, then we can only go sideways with our swords and kill Cao Pi!" ”

"Great Commander, Cao Pi is the prince after all, His Majesty's order is that we capture him alive, if we assassinate him, will it ......?"

"Outside, the military order is not subject to it!"

The corners of Jia Xu's mouth raised a smile of Xiao Killing: "The current situation in Jizhou has changed too much, and Dongwu has played a great role in it, since Cao Zihuan has become a ****, he needs to calm the Jizhou Rebellion with blood, and kill one to level ten thousand troops, even if Your Majesty blames it, I will bear it with all my might, kill!" ”

"No!" Shi Ah nodded in agreement.

"You are in control of Yecheng in this regard, if you find an opportunity, you will do it, at all costs, you must kill him, I will go north to join Xu Huang and them!" Jia Xu said.

"Yes!"

Shi Ah nodded, and a strong killing glint burst out in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
