1606 [Assault]
After Xiang Nan and Jun Bao came down from the mountain, they rode to Luoyang City.
Along the way, we saw that every village was empty, with traces of burning, killing and looting everywhere.
No matter the officers and soldiers, or the rebels, they were not polite to the people. They looted, burned, and killed. Even the team of heroes and righteous soldiers could not do anything without committing any crime and maintain strict discipline.
After all, everyone is greedy and has selfish thoughts. Only a very small number of people can freeze to death without tearing down their houses or starve to death without looting. Moreover, even if they rebel, they don’t even care about their lives, and if they kill people with red eyes, who would care about it? Benevolence and morality.
Just like the Liu Liu and Liu Qi Uprising, although it was highly praised in history books, in fact the people at that time suffered deeply from it.
Because among their ranks, they were just ruffians who burned, killed, looted, and caused endless harm to the people. Therefore, the people hated them to the core. The idiom "Liu Li Liu Qi" comes from this.
This is also the reason why Xiang Nan is unwilling to join these rebels.
…
In the evening, the two of them had arrived in Luoyang, and then took advantage of the darkness to climb the city wall.
The Luoyang City Wall is thirteen meters high and has a slope of about 80 degrees. For ordinary people, it is naturally out of reach. But for Xiang Nan and Jun Bao, it is not too difficult.
They had all practiced Qinggong, their bodies were as light as swallows, and their fingers were like hooks. They could climb up with just a little bit of strength, so they quickly climbed up the city wall.
Standing on the city wall and looking into the city, I saw that there were few lights in the city, just like a dead city. Only the Liu Mansion in the east of the city was still brightly lit.
After Xiang Nan and Junbao entered the city, they first found Taoist Ling.
Taoist Ling explained the situation in the city again.
Liu Jin was now almost crazy. Not only did he play music every night, go to wine ponds and meat forests, and indulge in pleasure, but he was also suspicious. He was afraid that the people in the city would resist him, so he sent troops to search for rebels throughout the city.
Beheaded if you admit it, or beheaded if you don't admit it. In the past two days alone, more than a dozen families have been executed. The people in the city were so frightened that they kept silent and did not even dare to say anything, for fear of being reported and sent to prison. guillotine.
However, he still contacted a group of people, and after Xiang Nan and Junbao assassinated Liu Jin, they took the opportunity to start an uprising and drive Liu Jin's army out of Luoyang City.
Xiang Nan nodded, took a short rest, and then rushed to Liu's Mansion with Junbao.
…
Along the way, I saw that many of the once bustling and lively streets were now in dilapidated condition. The ground was full of garbage, and most of the shops along the street had no goods, and even the doors and windows had been removed.
In short, it doesn't look like Luoyang City, more like a demolition site.
When Xiang Nan and Jun Bao arrived at the Liu Mansion, they saw that the Liu Mansion was heavily guarded. There was a post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. It seemed that Liu Jin still cherished his life.
However, such a tight guard still couldn't do anything to Xiang Nan and Jun Bao.
The two of them sneaked into Liu's mansion through the waterway in the southeast corner of the house. This path was also pointed out to them by Taoist Ling.
After entering the Liu Mansion, they followed the map and found the back garden.
It can be seen that the back garden of the Liu Mansion covers an extremely large area, probably only dozens of acres. Half of it is dug into a pond, and the other half is piled into a rockery, with pavilions and pavilions nestled in it. It can be said to be quite beautiful.
At this moment, although it is already late at night, there is still a lot of feasting in the backyard.
Liu Jin was sitting on the pavilion in the middle of the lake drinking, surrounded by beauties. On the waterside pavilion on the other side, there was also a group of dancers performing dances.
Silk and bamboo orchestral music, exquisite delicacies, jade liquid and fine wine, beauties as beautiful as jade... Judging from these aspects, Liu Jin is still a person who knows how to enjoy.
However, the soldiers standing around the banquet were full of evil spirits, which made the atmosphere of the banquet not lively in any case.
"I'm going to kill Liu Jin, and I'll leave the remaining soldiers to you. Remember not to be soft, kill when you need to. Otherwise, you and I will both end up here, and he will harm more people." Xiang Nan reminded Jun Baodao.
Gu Xi
He knew that Jun Bao was soft-hearted and would not kill him if he had to. But they were here to assassinate him, and the number of soldiers guarding the Liu Mansion might not be more than 2,000.
If Liu Jin cannot be killed in a hurry, they will be surrounded by soldiers. At that time, even if they have unparalleled martial arts, it will be difficult to escape with their lives.
So, now is not the time to be soft-hearted.
Junbao nodded.
…
The two immediately held their breath, dived into the water, and slowly swam to the pavilion in the middle of the garden.
Immediately, Xiang Nan drew out his sword, climbed up on the pavilion in the middle of the lake, jumped up, and slashed at Liu Jin, "Grudge, your death has come~"
His sword was extremely fast, as if there was lightning in mid-air, and it struck towards Liu Jin.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jin looked drunk, but was extremely agile. He immediately rolled to the side and pushed the beautiful woman next to him out.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan stopped the knife in time, otherwise, the innocent woman's blood would have been splattered on the spot.
"Bold rebel, you have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, and you dare to come and assassinate me. Die!" Liu Jin then pulled out a soft sword from under the table and stabbed Xiang Nan.
At the same time, the surrounding guards also ran to the Huxin Pavilion, and some people knocked on the gong to warn, "Come quickly, there are rebels to assassinate the emperor~"
When Jun Bao saw this, he immediately guarded him in front of the lake pavilion. All the guards had to knock him down first if they wanted to pass.
When Xiang Nan saw Liu Jin stabbing him, he did not dodge or dodge, but he stabbed him as usual.
Time was tight and he didn't have time to deal with Liu Jin, so he completely traded injuries for injuries.
Liu Jin did not dare to fight with Xiang Nan head-on. After all, he had just become emperor and had not enjoyed enough yet.
So he immediately changed his sword moves, thrust the sword horizontally, and held Xiang Nan's sword.
His soft sword seemed extremely thin, weak and boneless. Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan's sword struck it and didn't break his sword. This shows that his sword also has an origin.
However, although he held Xiang Nan's sword in place, the huge force from the sword still shook his jaw and made his right arm sore and numb.
But Xiang Nan refused to give up and continued to attack blindly.
Liu Jin's skills were far inferior to Xiang Nan's. At this moment, she could only try her best to parry, and was beaten and dodged in every direction. From time to time, she had to use the beauty in the pavilion in the middle of the lake to avoid Xiang Nan's attacks.
Xiang Nan had no interest in those beauties, but he couldn't bear to let them die unjustly, so he had some scruples about taking action.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jin was so cunning that he noticed this and simply used these girls as shields.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan had no choice but to destroy the flower with ruthless hands, "I'm offended~"
After that, he kicked all the girls into the water one by one.
Anyway, the water in the pond is not deep enough for anyone. If those girls fall in, they will catch a little cold at most, but they will not drown if they are drowned.
"Let me go, whatever you want, glory, wealth, gold and silver, I will give it to you~" Liu Jin saw that all the shields were gone, and he was really no match for Xiang Nan, and his guards were all tightly held by Jun Bao He was blocked outside the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and he had no choice but to beg for mercy.
"Hmph, you, a castrated dog, have only been emperor for a few days and you are talking so much about me. Do you really think you are a great person?" Xiang Nan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "I don't want what I want.
If there are too many, I want you to have a head on your neck, give it to me~"
As he spoke, he slashed at him with a knife. Liu Jin wanted to dodge, but Xiang Nan slashed with the knife with his right hand, punched with his left hand, and kicked his lower body.
Liu Jin blocked Xiang Nan's sword with her sword and blocked Xiang Nan's fist with her hand. However, she failed to dodge the kick and was kicked on the knee, causing her to kneel down with a thud.
