Chapter 169: Negotiations
The crowd hurriedly nodded as if a chicken pecked rice, "Brother, it's important to go and save the prince, do you have anything else to say?"
This Jin prince is the emperor in everyone's hearts, who dares to say a word. The people are afraid that because of themselves, they will delay the opportunity to save the prince, and they will put themselves to death!
"Go, go!" shouted the crowd, stomping their feet.
Liu Zhiyuan felt a little awkward at this time, what kind of prince is not a prince, what does it have to do with himself, do you think you are in a hurry? !
Just now, he just made a move, he was because an old man was hunted down and couldn't see it, and this prince had nothing to do with him.
But now, everyone is forcing him to save some prince! He is a little uncomfortable, why? There are so many of you, why don't you save me?!
Since he was imprisoned, he has developed a kind of hatred for any prince, an official, and a powerful person, and he has no good feelings.
Now let him save the prince, naturally there is a preconceived aversion.
At this moment, the frontyard nurse ran over and shouted loudly: "Go and save the prince, the prince is in danger!"
Because the situation in the front yard was critical, it was difficult for the guards to stop the masked assassin.
Someone had just told him that in the back garden, there was a man who had defeated the masked man in black, so he hurriedly ran for help.
When the family in the back garden heard this, he hurriedly responded: "Brother, brother, hurry up, people are ...... here!"
Pushing Liu Zhiyuan to run to the front yard, the nurse saw it and said happily: "Okay, ......!"
Busy and excitedly ran back to the front yard to report the news.
Liu Zhi had a foresight and was sure that the front yard had indeed encountered difficulties, otherwise he would not have called himself a prisoner to go over.
When Liu Zhiyuan rushed to the front yard, he saw a mess, and the family member of the nursing home was lying on the ground, but the masked man in black was gone.
"Where are the others?!" Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly asked everyone.
The family members who were lying on the ground pointed with their hands, "Go ahead and chase the prince......
"Oh......!" Liu Zhiyuan replied, and hurriedly chased forward again.
After turning a few moon gates, I came to the front yard.
The house of the Jin Dynasty is a typical mansion with high doors and vermilion walls.
The roof ridge is continuous, the courtyard is layered, and the middle verandah is connected. Carved balustrades, painted cornices.
In the yard, there is a pond rockery, flowers and plantains, and the scenery is pleasant.
But Liu Zhiyuan has no intention of appreciating this beautiful scenery, since he promised to save people, he will save them to the end.
He saw a few nurses from a distance, guarding the panicked prince, running around the pond rockery. The masked man was in hot pursuit.
Seeing that he was about to catch up, the nurse turned around to fight, and he was cut down one by one by one, and became a substitute for the dead.
For a while, blood was splashed, shocking, and everyone was terrified, but in order to protect the prince, they had to fight hard.
The leader of the nursing home was stained red with blood, and his eyes were full of fear and despair, but he always adhered to his duty and did not dare to slack off.
Seeing the masked man, a knife slashed at the prince, and hurriedly used the knife to resist, "clanging" a crisp sound, the swords collided, splashing bursts of sparks.
The leader of the nursing home felt a soreness in his right arm, and the sword in his hand was almost unable to hold it, and he almost came out of his hand.
He is like a mirror in his own heart, and his own skills can be said to have a considerable gap compared with this masked man, and he really can't afford to protect the prince.
Thinking of this, not only was I anxious, but I was afraid of this in the fight, and my mind would be chaotic, and there would be loopholes for a while.
One was accidentally slashed by the masked man, and he wanted to dodge, but it was too late, and the knife actually chopped into his left arm, and he screamed "whoop".
The masked man slammed again, and his entire arm fell to the ground. When he saw it, he fell to the ground in fright, and could not get up again.
At this time, there were only three nursing home guards guarding the prince's side, looking back at each other, staring at each other in horror, opening their mouths wide, and they couldn't close them for a long time.
The heart "bang, bang" jumped, his legs were already soft and numb, how could he still have a heart to fight, tremblingly pulling the prince, just running forward around the pool.
The masked man saw the doorway, and when he saw that everyone was already frightened, he smiled slightly, and stopped in order to wait for the rabbit.
As it happened, the crowd turned around, and when they looked up, they saw the masked man standing in front of several people, standing head-on with a sword. was shocked for a while, I don't know what kind of kung fu he made, it was so fast, in fact, everyone was confused.
The three nursing homekeepers, with an exclamation, had to fight hard, fighting to the death, with the crisp sound of "clanging", three knives flew out in unison, and the three people turned around and wanted to run, the masked man's knife had arrived, and the three heads rolled to the ground.
When the prince saw it, the whole person stiffened there, staring at the masked man with stupid eyes, and the masked man was stunned at this time, but then he reacted and put the knife on the prince's neck at once.
"What else do you have to say?!" he shouted, "I'll send you to report to Lord Yama'......!"
As he spoke, he waved his knife and slashed at the prince, seeing that the knife was about to fall on the head of the prince who had reached a dead end, and the prince was about to die.
At this time, a shout came, "Stopββ!"
Immediately after, there was a sound of footsteps of "kick and tap", and a group of soldiers rushed in with weapons in hand, surrounding the Assassin.
When Liu Zhiyuan arrived closer, he saw that the person commanding the soldiers was a person dressed as a general, and took a closer look, it was General Li Siyuan, who rescued him that day.
He was wearing armor and a golden helmet, majestic and magnificent, holding a cold sword and rushing to the forefront.
Pointing at the masked man in black, he shouted: "You can't escape from this place with your wings, if you don't let go of the prince quickly, I can save you from ...... death!"
When the prince saw it, he was overjoyed and shouted: "My son, come and save my ......!"
"Daddy, please relax, the child is coming......" Li Siyuan shook his sword and stepped forward.
"Don't come here......" The masked man suddenly put the knife on the prince's neck, "If you take one step further, I will chop off his head ......!"
The masked man howled hysterically, knowing that facing these well-trained and battle-hardened soldiers was absolutely different from the guards of the home.
He knew that the moment they came in, he had no hope of life, and he had to fight to the death.
Hearing his words, Li Siyuan was stunned, his brows tightened, and his eyes stared at the masked man in black with a cold light, for fear that his small move would anger the assassin and cause harm to the prince.
"You...... Don't mess around, ......!" Li Siyuan shouted loudly, he was worried at this time, his father was in the hands of this person, even if there was no sword injury, the fright was excessive, and it could also cause illness.
What should I do? What should I do? His eyes searched for an opportunity, and he shouted loudly: "All soldiers obey orders, and without my orders, they are not allowed to move ......!"
When the masked man in black saw it, he was overjoyed, and immediately said, "Hurry up and let these people take ten steps back, otherwise, I ......will do it!"
Li Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and pondered for a moment, he knew that if he took ten steps back, the chance of rescuing the hostages would be even more slim.
"What? don't you retreat?" Seeing that Li Siyuan hesitated, the masked man angrily slapped the waist knife on the shoulder of the prince.
Li Siyuan was shocked, afraid of hurting the prince, so he hurriedly beckoned everyone, "Hurry up and take ten steps back......!"
The soldiers were unwilling, and hesitated to retreat. Because they had the impression that, under the command of General Lee, they had never advanced on the battlefield and did not retreat. Therefore, when they heard General Lee's order, they were all taken aback.
However, the soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty, and he has no words, only obediently takes ten steps back.
Li Siyuan watched the soldiers retreat ten steps back, his heart was like a knife for a while, and his chest was mixed, he wanted to rush up and fight to the death, to be an upright strong man, but he was a rat bogey, his father was in his hands, and he didn't want his father to have a little mistake.
He asked the masked man in black in a hoarse voice, "What do you want?!"
"What do I want to do? General Li, don't you know?" The masked man in black grabbed the prince's shoulder with his left hand, put the knife on the prince's neck with his right hand, and stared at Li Siyuan and asked rhetorically.
Li Siyuan shook his head, his eyebrows tightened, "This strong man, I really don't know what you want? How many gold and silver treasures do you want, you name the number, and I, Li Siyuan, can promise you, as long as you put the prince down, don't hurt him!"
"You're wrong, General Li, what do you think of me?!Do you think I'm just a short-sighted, money-hungry ......gentleman?!!" the masked man stared at Li Siyuan.
Li Siyuan's face immediately became gloomy, his teeth were clenched, and he said word by word: "Then what do you want?!"
"How is it? I want you to stop the campaign against the Great Liang Dynasty, can you agree?!" the masked man in black said viciously with resentment and murderous aura flashing in his eyes.
Li Siyuan was shocked, he understood everything, this person was definitely not something that money could buy! He was an assassin sent by the Great Liang. At this time, the Jin army was fighting fiercely with Daliang, and Daliang was losing and retreating, but they used these three indiscriminate methods!
Li Siyuan's face showed a mocking sneer, "The dignified Liang actually used such a method, it's really incredible!"
"Don't talk nonsense......" The masked man in black shouted, "General Li, do you promise to withdraw the army?!"
When Li Siyuan heard his words, he froze there for a moment, whether to withdraw the army or not is a major military matter, how can he decide it alone.
But if you don't agree, then Daddy's life will indeed be gone today. Because, he could tell, the masked man in black was a vicious thug......
