Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 285 The Death of Liu Xie
Liu Xie looked at the assassin in front of him quietly, he liked this kind of upright and confident person very much.After all, an assassin who doesn't wear a black scarf mask is himself a miracle among assassins.

However, when Liu Xie really got up and saw the assassin's face clearly, he realized that some people can indeed hide their faces.After all, the purpose of masking is to make people not know their identity.And if you kill all the people who see your face.Then, the dead cannot tell others about his identity.

Han Long, this assassin, is obviously such an aloof assassin.

Before crossing, Liu Xie didn't know that there were rivers and lakes at the end of Han Dynasty.In his impression, Jianghu is an organization that only existed after the Tang Dynasty.But in fact, there is a saying in Jianghu that is really good: Where there are people, there are Jianghu.

After traveling, Liu Xie discovered that the Jianghu organization was almost as long as China's history.For example, the Momen in the pre-Qin period basically conformed to the shape of Jianghu, but it can only be regarded as an embryonic period.The real rivers and lakes originated in the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented the "salt and iron official camp". Iron is okay, the court treats the salt that the common people cannot live without as a monopoly item to earn huge profits, which is really lacking. Dade.

As a result, a large number of salt smugglers came into being, and they were engaged in the business of beheading. Naturally, they had to be organized and armed, and they also needed the support of the government and princes. A real gangster appeared.And the best of the underworld gangs became gangster organizations.

Later, the monopoly of salt and iron was gradually released, allowing private capital to intervene, the world began to transform, and the color of gangsters became weaker and weaker.But there are always some wishful thinking guys who rely on their own martial arts to fight for a future, but still refuse to give up their collusion with officials, nobles, princes and wealthy families.

With rivers and lakes, there will naturally be disputes between rivers and lakes, and in the Han Dynasty when the commercial economy was not yet developed, the most disputed among these people in the rivers and lakes was a name.

Similar to the reputation of scholar-bureaucrats, there are also their recognized rankings in the world.It's just that this kind of ranking list is very vague and non-existent for the scholar-bureaucrat group or the emperor Liu Xie.After all, the main theme of this era is still advocating literature and respecting classics. To the real nobles, the rankings in the rough are just a trick of a group of thugs, bastards, and mud-legged people.

Since Wang Yue became the emperor's teacher, he naturally sat at the top of the ranking list.And this Han Long, because he was in Saibei in the early years, also got the nickname of "Saibei Eagle", and he was at least in the top five on the ranking list-Liu Xie, who is a time traveler and has extensive interests, knows this.The only thing he didn't know was that he would encounter such a bastard today...

Moreover, he was still very confident in killing his bastard with a single sword strike.

"It's Wang's quick sword again!" Han Long's face was very ugly, because when he stabbed Leng Shouguang just now and wanted to kill Liu Xie in one fell swoop, Liu Xie used Wang's quick sword technique to block Han Long's attack. One blow: "However, you don't have to pretend to be a master of martial arts to delay the time. Your iron eagle swordsmen are unlikely to come to rescue you in a short time."

Han Long smiled slightly, his eyes signaled Liu Xie to look to the side.Liu Xie turned his head silently, and sure enough, he saw Yuan Lin's side. The Iron Eagle Swordsman who was forced to hide was already entangled by other assassins.

"Wang Yue was ordered to go to Kansai on official business, and cooperated with Ma Chao to intimidate those Qianghu leaders. His disciple Shi A alone cannot stop me." Han Long spoke again, with a more obvious smile on his lips, that It is the excitement and excitement before the great glory is about to be achieved.

Liu Xie was startled when he heard the words, but then calmed down: Han Long is Diao Chan's subordinate, and now that the Black Ice Platform and Diao Chan are more and more closely connected, Han Long can know that Wang Yue is not there, and It is too easy to have the news of Iron Eagle Swordsman guards by my side.

"That's right, the iron eagle swordsmen can't protect me, but don't look around, there are tens of thousands of Han Dynasty elites within a hundred steps out of this corridor. Do you think you can fight against the iron spears and crossbows with your own strength? Come and go freely in the army?" Liu Xie had a premonition in his heart, he guessed that it was impossible for those Han soldiers to come to rescue him.Otherwise, Han Long definitely did not have such a leisurely conversation with himself.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Liu Xie, who was far away from the high platform of offering sacrifices to the sky, heard a burst of panic.This time, he didn't perform deliberately, but his face became really shocked: Such a chain-linked and extremely ruthless strategy was actually staged in the heavily armored and impregnable ban?Moreover, after he had just presided over the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony? !

Who is the mastermind behind this scene?

Looking at everything that happened today, Liu Xie found that this person had already calculated everything.It gives people the feeling that they are the ignorant prey, walking into the abyss of death step by step according to the rhythm set by the enemy!

In Chang'an, there is such a master planner who is not only familiar with everything, but also has unparalleled wisdom?

If the target of this assassination is not himself, Liu Xie will undoubtedly give the planner 82 points, and for the remaining 666 points, he will shake a [-] leopard for him with the Shake Gu with his own hands. , lest he be proud... No, this person has not revealed his identity so far, so he doesn't get full marks, it's too unreasonable!
"Okay, today I have awakened. It's just that I am the emperor. Before I die, I can't even know the identity of the person who wants to kill me." Liu Xie really didn't delay time this time, he really didn't want to Therefore, he sincerely asked Han Long, "When did Diao Chan betray me, and who else was involved in this scheme? Also, who is behind the scenes?"

"Hmph, you don't need to know this, you just need to know that you will die under my hands, Han Long!" Unexpectedly, Liu Xie's words aroused Han Long's vigilance.After he answered coldly, the long sword spurted out and flickered, turning into a poisonous snake and attacking Liu Xie's chest and abdomen!
At this moment, Liu Xie had nothing in his heart. After holding his breath, he swung the long sword in his hand suddenly, and instead of advancing, retreated to attack Han Long.This time, Liu Xie is no longer using Wang's fast sword method, because Wang Yue's Jianghu swordsmanship is to kill the opponent in the simplest and sharpest way, but now he is facing Han Long who is more familiar with this. Dao's assassin, he, a novice with very little actual combat experience, used a fast sword to attack, and it was very likely that he would die in Huangquan after a few moves.

Seeing Liu Xie's sudden change in Jianfeng at this moment, Han Long was a little shocked for a while.Because Liu Xie's defense was very cautious at this time, he almost never attacked him, but every time he swung his sword, he fiercely defended his long sword with the sword in his hand.Several times of his deliberate attacks were interrupted by Liu Xie's rogue swordsmanship, which made him gradually anxious.

"Unexpectedly, as the son of heaven, you are proficient in two kinds of swordsmanship." Han Long used words to distract Liu Xie while drawing his sword.Although he had made several attacks to no avail, he still had the upper hand in the situation.At the same time, he also knew that the most fearful thing for a swordsman like Liu Xie was to do two things at once.

The only pity is that Han Long underestimated Liu Xie too much.This young emperor who was able to play tricks on those courtiers who were full of hearts and minds in the court was much more insidious than those simple-minded reckless people he had dealt with.The moment Han Long deliberately provoked Liu Xie, instead of opening his mouth, Liu Xie's eyes flashed, and his sword move changed suddenly. When Han Long hurriedly returned to defense with a surprise move of Wang's Quick Sword, he resumed his wide open position again. Dahe's sword move slashed fiercely at the gap in Han Long's iron sword.

With a sound of 'dang clang', Han Long's iron sword snapped.

The Yitian sword in Liu Xie's hand was the first steel sword he forged after recalling the method of frying steel. It was undoubtedly far superior in hardness to Han Long's iron sword, which was only crafted in the Han Dynasty.The careful Liu Xie had observed the jagged gaps that Han Long had left on the iron sword in order to pursue the assassination effect.Therefore, before the counterattack, Liu Xie had the idea of ​​breaking Han Long's long sword.

Fortunately, Ma Chao's sword skills suitable for battle formations are most suitable for defending Han Long.After all, among the chaotic army, the most important thing is not to kill the enemy, but to first protect oneself who will be attacked from all directions.Secondly, it pays attention to seizing the fleeting opportunity to kill the opponent.

Liu Xie was very thankful that he had kept Ma Chao for more than a year, if not for this, without Ma Chao's defensive skills, he would surely die today.

"drink!"

Another immature scolding, Liu Xie adhered to the shameless principle of 'killing you while you are sick', and rushed forward, with swords clanging and crisscrossing, a fierce spark burst out in the daytime.And Han Long, who was holding a broken sword, faced Liu Xie's blow, his eyes were full of anger and disbelief!

After that, the two swords were separated, and the two of them each retreated five steps. A long bloodstain appeared on Han Long's right arm, and the bone was visible from the wound, and half of Liu Xie's crown was cut off.Seeing this result, all the iron eagle swordsmen who were still fighting the enemy roared in despair: "No!"

After that, Liu Xie stretched out his left hand with difficulty, as if he wanted to grasp the sky that he didn't end.But that thin figure fell powerlessly and slowly on his back...
