Chapter 2: Downstairs at Night
"King Hongnong, it's time to hit the road." The reluctance of the young couple before parting had already made Li Ru on the side feel very impatient, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Liu Wei with a bit of playfulness: "People will eventually die, and today is the period of His Royal Highness's limit, so entanglement, it's just to add trouble." His Royal Highness only needs to go on the road, and after His Highness leaves, the ministers will take care of the princess. ”
Slowly letting go of the hands around Liu Bian's waist, Tang Ji took two steps back in despair, her legs were weak, she sat on the ground, her hands pressed the ground, her body tilted slightly to the side, and she looked at Liu Bian with a sad face.
Li Ru on the side may have been a little impatient to wait, and urged again: "King Hongnong, don't delay any longer, it's late now, it's a trivial matter to delay the rest of the ministers, if the princess is delayed, how can the ministers take care of it!" ”
Liu Wei turned his head, glanced at Li Ru with some resentment, and said coldly: "It's too late now, Tang Ji should go to bed earlier, but General Lao Li is bothered!" ”
Li Ru bowed slightly, made a humble appearance, glanced at Tang Ji who was sitting on the ground, and handed the poisonous wine in his hand forward.
Liu Wei looked at the poisonous wine in Li Ru's hand, but did not reach out to take it.
"King Hongnong, it's time to hit the road!" Seeing that Liu Biao hadn't taken the wine glass, he frowned slightly, straightened up, the expression on his face suddenly became hideous, and he stretched out one hand to pinch the back of Liu Bian's neck, and the other hand held the wine glass, and raised his hand to pour poisonous wine into Liu Bian's mouth.
Li Ru didn't notice that when he reached out to choke the back of Liu Bian's neck, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Liu Bian's mouth.
The hand he shrunk in the sleeve of his wide robe suddenly slammed out and hit Li Ru's chest hard, making a muffled sound of "Peng".
Li Ruyuan, who had reached Liu Bian's lips with the wine glass in his hand, opened his eyes, first snorted, and then looked at Liu Bian standing in front of him with an incredulous expression, his eyes were full of astonishment and incomprehension.
A hand clenched into a fist against Li Ru's chest, between the fist and Li Ru's chest, a red blood stain was slowly seeping out, Liu Wei squinted slightly towards Li Ru with a weird smile on his face.
Looking at the weird smile on Liu Wei's face, the expression on Li Ru's face became complicated, but unfortunately his chest was already deeply pierced into a hairpin used by a woman when she wore her hair in a bun.
In order to prevent Liu Wei from injuring people or committing suicide, all the sharp weapons in his residence had already been confiscated, but Li Ru did not expect that an emperor who had been deposed would use such a small thing as a hairpin to kill people.
"I don't want to die, so I have to ask you to die first!" Liu Wei smiled, snorted softly, and said this to Li Ru in a somewhat cold raised voice in his tone, and then gently pushed Li Ru's chest with his other hand.
Life was withdrawn from Li Ru's body, and when Liu Bian's palm pushed to his chest, he fell on his back, a pair of eyes that were not too big stared round, and his eyes that had lost their luster stared at Liu Bian who was standing in front of him, and there was a small hole in his chest that was still bubbling with blood.
When the two eunuchs saw that Liu Wei had killed Li Ru, they opened their mouths wide in surprise and opened their eyes, and they were so frightened that they didn't come back to their senses for a while.
A moment later, one of them came back to his senses first, and he was about to scream, when Liu Wei stepped forward, the hand holding the hairpin waved violently, and the hairpin still stained with Li Ru's blood pierced his throat deeply.
There was a hairpin in his throat, the eunuch's eyes were wide open, the look in his eyes gradually dimmed, and his body collapsed to the ground weakly.
The clean and neat killing method frightened the other eunuch almost to death, his eyes opened in horror, and a stream of heat gushed out from between his legs, and his pants were wet in an instant.
There was a smell of bloody urine in the room, Liu Wei frowned, raised his blood-stained hand, pointed to the corner of the wall and said to the eunuch: "Face the wall, stand in the corner!" ”
His legs trembled uncontrollably, and with all his strength, the eunuch finally turned around and rubbed towards the corner of the wall trembling all over.
Before he could reach the corner, Liu Wei had already raised his heels, one arm went around behind him and hugged his cheek, and the other palm pushed the back of his head and twisted it hard.
only heard a crisp sound of "click", and the eunuch's neck was twisted off by Liu Bian, and after Liu Biao let go, his body also collapsed softly on the ground.
Everything in front of her frightened Tang Ji in the room stupidly, her mouth opened into an "O" shape, and she looked at Liu Wei in astonishment at Liu Wei whose cold murderous aura had not yet subsided.
Twisting off the neck of the last eunuch, Liu Wei was slightly panting.
This skin is too weak, although in the past few days, he has secretly done some exercises, but after all, it is too weak, and it is difficult to make a big change for a while.
When twisting the eunuch's neck, he only had to hold the eunuch's face with one hand and push it up from the side with the other. But this body is too weak, and the strength of his arm is not enough, so he can only use his arm to wrap around the eunuch's cheek, and with the help of the strength of the entire arm, he can achieve the effect of killing with one blow.
Twisting off the neck of the last eunuch, Liu Wei walked up to Tang Ji, who was sitting on the ground, stretched out a bloodstained hand to pull her up, lowered his voice and said to her: "You and I quickly change into the clothes of eunuchs, take advantage of the dark, and leave Luoyang." ”
It has been some time since she married into the palace, Tang Ji never thought that Liu Wei would have such a neat killing method, she looked from the place where she was sitting, the eunuch whose neck was twisted by Liu Wei seemed to want to die, Liu Wei's hand just pushed lightly, and he twisted his neck aside very cooperatively, breaking the neck bone.
After being pulled up, she was still frightened, trembling slightly, and subconsciously wanted to pull out the hand that was tightly held by Liu Wei, but she couldn't pull it out after a while.
Glancing at Tang Ji's frightened pale face, Liu Wei let go of her hand, gently patted her arm twice, turned around and squatted next to the corpse of a eunuch and untied the eunuch's clothes.
"Put it on!" Throwing the relatively clean set of clothes to Tang Ji, who was still trembling slightly, Liu Wei lowered his voice and said to her: "This set of clothes is clean, and there is no blood on it." ”
Although Tang Ji was very afraid of Liu Wei at this time, he also knew that if he didn't flee as soon as possible, once Dong Zhuo found out that Li Ru was dead, they would die sooner or later. She trembled and took the clothes handed to her by Liu Wei, walked to the side, took off the palace clothes on her body, and put on the clothes of a eunuch.
When she changed her clothes, her skin glowed with a lustrous luster under the candlelight, exuding a strong youthful atmosphere, which was definitely a temptation that was difficult to refuse in the eyes of any man.
But Liu Wei didn't have the mood to look at her at this time, the danger was in front of him, there were guards at the door who were in charge of guarding them, it was important for him to escape here quickly, no matter what beauty and spring, it was not important to take his life.
After the two changed their clothes, Liu Wei walked to the window, stretched out his head to look out, then turned back to the house, tore the cover, twisted the cover into thick strips, connected with each other, and knotted into a thick rope.
Looking at Liu Wei's skillful movements, Tang Ji's heart couldn't help surging, although she was still very scared, but she was a little more excited and excited in her heart.
Ever since she was placed under house arrest in this attic, she had no hope for the future. She never dared to think that Liu Wei, who had grown up in the palace since she was a child and had never seen blood, would cleanly solve the person who wanted to kill him at a critical moment, and she was quite responsible to take her out of the palace.
After tying the rope, feeling that the length was enough, Liu Wei pulled it hard again, making sure that it could withstand the weight of a person, so he tied one end of the rope to Tang Ji's waist, and the other end to a column in the house.
led Tang Ji to the window, he first motioned for Tang Ji to stand aside, then hid by the window and looked out. There were no patrolling guards outside the window, and on the opposite side of the attic there was a bush of grass and trees large enough for three or five people to hide. After making sure that the surroundings were safe, and choosing a hiding place after going downstairs, he reestimated the length of the rope again, thinking that it was indeed enough to put it at the bottom of the building, and then pointed to the window and motioned for Tang Ji to climb up.
Although there are some doubts in his heart, Liu Wei was once a generation of emperors after all, and as his princess, Tang Ji will not disobey him.
Timidly climbed up to the window, Tang Ji turned his head to look at Liu Wei who was standing behind him, his eyes were full of uneasiness and panic.
Liu Wei didn't speak, just nodded at Tang Ji and gave her an encouraging look.
Tang Ji pursed her lips and looked downstairs.
The attic is very high, and in the night, the downstairs is so dark that you can't see the ground at all. Grabbing the rope with both hands, Tang Ji trembled slightly, even her lips were slightly pale because of nervousness, and she once again looked at Liu Wei with a pitiful look.
Knowing in his heart that Tang Ji must have never gone down directly from such a high place, Liu Wei smiled at her and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I am pulling the rope, and the other end is also tied to the pillar, you will not fall." Close your eyes and don't look down. ”
Under Tang Ji's panicked gaze, Liu Wei pulled the rope tightly, quickly wrapped one end of the rope around his arm, and then said to Tang Ji: "I will put you down little by little." ”
Pulling the rope tightly with both hands, Tang Ji loosened little by little downstairs, and seeing her feet fall to the ground, Liu Wei let go of the hand pulling the rope, and gestured to Tang Ji, who was standing under the attic with a panicked look and didn't know what to do next, and motioned for her to hide in the opposite bush.
