Chapter 116: Killing
The Spring Festival court seal on the fifteenth, this is a rare rest in the year, even the princes who study hard day and night have a holiday, can enjoy the hard-won leisure time.
The 15th is not long, but it is not short, because of the inconvenient transportation, the officials who are far away from their hometowns are unable to return to their hometowns to visit relatives, so they have to stay in the capital to have fun, so that Changxing City in the Spring Festival will be more prosperous.
Under the careful care of Liu Yi and Mrs. Liu, Xu Rui and the Liu family seem to have become a family, just missing the status of a righteous son.
In fact, as early as Jingyang, Liu Yi intended to accept Xu Rui as his adopted son, but it was only because of Yang Weiyuan's death in battle that the matter has been shelved until now.
Fortunately, Liu Yi and Xu Rui are not people who are obsessed with small things, and a big battle has already allowed the two to establish a deep relationship that seems to be father and son, and they don't take the so-called name seriously at all.
Xu Rui is the first time to celebrate the Spring Festival with his "family".
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when he took the red envelope handed by Mrs. Liu with both hands and put on the new clothes that Mrs. Liu sewed for him, Xu Rui felt at home for the first time.
Looking at the stern Liu Yi and the kind Mrs. Liu, Xu Rui felt like his real parents in a trance.
"I finally have a home......"
He had been yearning for such warmth for too long, and for a while his dream came true, tears came out of his eyes, and "let's da, let's go" fell to the ground.
When Mrs. Liu saw Xu Rui suddenly crying, she was immediately distressed, and surrounded her to ask for warmth, Xu Rui had a warm current in her heart, and quickly wiped away her tears, only saying that she was blinded by the sand.
How could Mrs. Liu be fooled by such a shoddy lie, knowing that Xu Rui was crying with joy, but she was distressed in her heart, and while muttering, "Let this child suffer", she gave him all the new clothes and red envelopes that were originally prepared for the next people.
Xu Rui accepted the gift with tears and laughter, but the happiness in his heart became more and more intense.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Xu Rui followed Liu Yi to visit the homes of familiar colleagues in strict accordance with the rules of this world, and then had time to visit the lively street market with the second elder.
Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the curfew was canceled in Changxing City, day and night were jubilant, lively and extraordinary, whether it was a dignitary or a common person, they would go to the night market and guess the lantern riddles.
Xu Rui was the first time to see the night market in this world, and everything he saw along the way was very novel, Liu Yi and Mrs. Liu were also relieved to see him happy, so they followed him and forgot to return, and this visit was late at night.
When the bell rang, the family left the crowd happily and returned home, and An Ge had already set up the carriage and waited outside the crowd.
Liu Yi and his wife got into the car first, Xu Rui also followed, and just as he was about to get into the car, the shadow next to him suddenly stopped and looked at an alley with a frown.
Xu Rui was slightly stunned, and looked at her gaze, only to see that the alley was pitch black, and there was nothing to see at all.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Rui asked her suspiciously.
Shadow thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Let's go, General Liu and his aunt are old, and it's not good to stay up late."
Seeing that Ying Yu didn't say anything, Xu Rui urged and pulled Ying Yu into the carriage home.
There was always a trace of uneasiness in Ying Yu's heart, but she couldn't tell what made her feel wrong, and when she got into the car, she took one last look at the alley, but she still didn't find anything, so she had to follow Xu Rui into the carriage.
"Drive!"
An Ge raised his whip and slapped the horse's back, the wheels slowly turned, and the carriage gradually moved away from the bustling street market and began to move towards Liu's mansion.
Not long after, in the dark alley, where the last glance of the shadow came, a figure slowly walked out, and it was the one who had traveled thousands of miles from the south to Changxing City.
He originally planned to follow King Wuling's instructions to find out who actually commanded the Northern Wuwei, and then wait for an opportunity to get rid of it.
But after he came, he found that he didn't need to bother to investigate at all, because Xu Rui transferred the Yin soldiers, built the Immortal Bridge, and the soldiers took Lingdong without blood, and the deeds of the thunder to destroy the black flag have been spread to everyone, and even the three-year-old child is familiar with it, and he can already do it directly.
And today, Xu Rui and Liu Yi are traveling together, and he can just get rid of the two people who made plans and actually ordered them together, so that he can be regarded as completing the order of King Wuling to the letter, which is a godsend.
"That woman, the senses are still keen."
To look away from the carriage that had already driven away, he sneered, tapped his toes lightly, and his body suddenly flew up, like a night owl, and he rushed quickly against the roof in the dark night.
Who would have thought that after Liu Yi returned to the dynasty, he was reused by Emperor Hongwei, and now he is the right governor of the Governor of the Five Armies, and he has become the third largest man in the military.
In order to ensure that there are no accidents, he is not ready to do it near the lively street market, but sets the place of attack in front of Liu's mansion.
On the one hand, this place is very deserted in the middle of the night, and you can avoid accidents by making a move here.
On the other hand, when they were about to return to Liu's Mansion, it was the time when everyone's vigilance was the most lax, whether it was a master hiding in the shadows or a guard in the open air, they would be affected by inertial thinking, and they were most likely to reveal a flaw, so that they would have a chance to leave.
Although he thinks highly of himself and has outstanding martial arts, he is alert by nature and never fights uncertain battles, not to mention that this is his first task since his debut, so as to be foolproof and hit with one blow.
Liu's carriage drove alone on the official road, and today it was a private patrol, with no pomp, and there was no escort in sight except for the four soldiers who accompanied the car.
But to leave the void has already discovered three existences hiding in the shadows from the non-existent qi.
One of them was the shadow in the carriage, and the other two were masters like him, who quietly followed the car.
It is necessary to learn art from Situ Yuan, the ghost ancestor of Nanyue, who has outstanding talent and has followed one of the six great martial saints in the world since he was a child, and what he has learned is both miscellaneous and refined.
In addition, he is also accustomed to seeing masters from all walks of life, and his vision is very high, just from his breath, he can conclude that the three people who secretly protect Liu Yi are all dead soldiers, and there is a certain gap between his martial arts and him, at least he can find these three people, but these three people are difficult to detect his existence.
In the darkness, like a nocturnal bat, he skimmed lightly across the rows of roofs, his eyes locked on the carriage, and he secretly calculated the steps to make a move.
Every detail had been carefully planned and rehearsed countless times in his mind, and any conceivable and possible contingencies were calculated.
According to his plan, when the carriage stopped in front of Liu's Mansion and the people in the car were about to get off, he would shoot quickly with lightning speed.
first killed the four soldiers in one fell swoop, then killed the dead soldier in the carriage, and finally sent the stunned Liu Yi and Xu Rui to the west together, and fled the scene with a swagger before the two dead soldiers who followed the shadows arrived, and returned directly to the Southern Dynasty.
After thinking about it again, he didn't find anything missing, and he was about to bounce out of the roof in the distance, slowly float to a roof directly opposite the door of Liu's mansion, and hide his body behind the bulging ridge.
He calmed down, slowed his breathing, and adjusted his body to the best state, like a coiled poisonous snake, quietly waiting for his prey to come to the door.
The sparkling torches pierced the night, and the carriage finally drove outside the gate of Liu's mansion, and the two big red lanterns hanging high emitted bright light, which naturally gave birth to a sense of security in the dark night.
"Appeal ......"
An Ge let out a long snort, grabbed the reins of the horse, and shouted happily into the carriage: "We're home!" ”
There was a small noise in the carriage, and it was clear that the people inside were preparing to get out of the carriage, completely unaware that the Grim Reaper was quietly approaching.
"Death is coming!"
With a sneer, he stood up from behind the roof where he was hiding, his hands slowly clenched into fists, his legs slightly bent, and he took a breath in his chest, and he was about to launch a thunderous blow.
