Chapter 1645: Strength Gap
Without drawing his long sword, Deng Zhan approached the men who appeared behind the restaurant step by step.
They all drew their long swords, and the men stared at Deng Zhan with panicked expressions.
Fear is the deadliest in swordsman duels.
Deng Zhan alone forced more than a dozen swordsmen who intended to be unfavorable to Liu Wei to retreat step by step.
When they came to Luoyang, they had been dormant for a long time, and they originally planned to watch the imperial court use troops to Jiangdong, but they could not wait for the news of the imperial army's expedition.
The suzerain behind the scenes finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked them to take Sun Shangxiang hostage from Luoyang City, and then spread rumors to urge Jiangdong to expand his revenge on the imperial court.
As the emperor, Liu Wei has always fought in the south and the north, and he has not stopped for a moment, but anyone who is disrespectful to the court, whether it is a foreign race or a hero, will be killed.
With a deep understanding of his temperament, the people behind these swordsmen believed that as long as Jiangdong dared to increase his revenge against the imperial court, the date of the imperial army's southward march would be much earlier.
At first, they didn't think about assassinating Liu Bian, after all, as the emperor, Liu Bian's power around him was too huge, and assassinating him was not a wise choice.
But Liu Wei suddenly went to the market with Sun Shangxiang and had a banquet in the market, which really made these people who lurked in Luoyang City feel that they had seized the opportunity.
The emperor in the restaurant is easier to assassinate than the emperor in the palace, which is a truth that even children understand.
There was no time to ask the people behind the scenes for instructions, and the men who infiltrated Luoyang City made a temporary decision to assassinate Liu Wei.
They thought that this mission would be easy to achieve, but they didn't expect that the dragoon guards had been waiting for them for a long time, just waiting for them to come to the door and be caught in a net.
"What His Majesty expected was really not bad!" While approaching the men, Deng Zhan said lightly: "If Your Majesty eats in the city, you must think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it and come to assassinate you!" ”
Deng Zhan's words made the hearts of the men pull into their throats.
They had already thought that Liu Bi's hosting of Sun Shangxiang in a restaurant in the city this time might be a trap, and what Deng Zhan said happened to confirm their guess.
Holding a long sword, the leading man turned his heart sideways and rushed towards Deng Zhan with a burst of applause.
The man rushed towards Deng Zhan, but Deng Zhan didn't draw his sword at all.
When the long sword was about to slash at the top of his head, he suddenly shortened, stretched out his right hand violently, and grabbed the man's neck.
The neck was choked by Deng Zhan, and the man only felt breathless, and the scene in front of him gradually blurred.
Waving his arm, he tried to beckon the long sword to Deng Zhan again, but his wrist was grabbed.
Deng Zhan grabbed his wrist, his two fingers were slightly forced, the man was in pain, his palm was open, and the long sword fell to the ground with a thud.
The leading man is the strongest martial artist in this group of men, he was subdued by Deng Zhan with one move, and what is even more terrifying is that Deng Zhan did not use his sword at all, but just grabbed his neck with one hand, making the fear in the hearts of the more than ten men who followed behind a little deeper than before.
"Do you want to do something, or do you just wait for your hands to be tied?" After taking two more steps towards those men, Deng Zhan's tone was even more gloomy than before.
Seeing that it was impossible to retreat with their whole body, the men showed their determination to die on their faces one by one, and they violently lifted their long swords and stabbed them into their hearts!
