Chapter 563 Fatal Attack
With the people brought by Han Yu, and the fact that Han Yu had arranged the retreat route and the supporting troops before arriving, the group retreated smoothly. Although they encountered a small group of pursuers and killed them directly, it was not a problem. It didn't take much effort, so far everything was safe. Even later, it was almost very smooth. There were no pursuers or obstacles at all, and we could quickly retreat to a safe area.
Because of this, everyone relaxed their vigilance, but Han Yu could feel a kind of calm before the storm in this atmosphere. However, he kept these thoughts in his heart and did not remind everyone, but secretly made arrangements for everything. He needs this opportunity to make Liu Xiu completely trust him, instead of staying at the optional stage. Once a crisis or certain events occur, trust may be shaken. After this time, he will rely on this unshakable trust. , occupying the most important and trustworthy position beside Han Yu.
However, Han Yu would not be too hypocritical, so he gave a slight reminder: "Uncle Wen, this road seems to be too quiet. I always feel that there is some kind of crisis hidden here. Let's leave here as soon as possible to avoid being hit by the enemy." Ambush."
"Xiu Qi has always been so cautious. I feel that this journey has become more and more peaceful. It is very likely that Zhao Fan learned that we had escaped far away and knew that we could not catch up, so he gave up and withdrew the pursuit. After all, our troops have captured Yiyang City and achieved their goal, so why bother pursuing them so closely. "
At this time, Liu Xiu did not feel that he could threaten the imperial court, and he ignored his weight in Wang Mang's heart, so he thought so. After all, the imperial court had been in chaos for a long time, and his group was not the only one who wanted to rebel. It was just his group that had the strongest momentum of development. That's why Wang Mang became afraid and sent a large army to encircle and suppress them. Now that everyone has Already defeated, the threat to the imperial court was reduced.
It's just that in Wang Mang's eyes, he was very afraid of and valued Liu Xiu from the beginning. First, Liu Xiu's development momentum was very strong, and there were many capable people to help him, which gave him a sense of crisis. Secondly, because Liu Xiu's brother was also a very powerful force in the rebel army. He had been persistently fighting against the imperial court, which had a very bad impact on the imperial court. More importantly, the two brothers were both descendants of the Liu family. In this way The first-level identity makes it easier for many people who are loyal to the Liu family to defect to him.
Han Yu had Sikong Ling as an internal agent in the court, and he was quite aware of the internal and external affairs of the court. Knowing these situations, the people in the court would never let Liu Xiu go easily, fearing that they would have saved him long ago. The idea of killing and then quickly, otherwise there would be no previous assassination. Now Liu Xiu is even more fearful to the court, and it is even more impossible to let him go. But he knows that Wang Mang has officially issued a kill order to Liu Xiu. Therefore, Zhao Fan's people will never give up so easily.
Han Yu had already reminded Liu Xiu, and he had fulfilled his duty. As for how Liu Xiu would respond and react, believe it or not, what should happen next would still happen, so he returned to silence and said nothing more.
However, although Liu Xiu was not aware of the danger, he obviously trusted Han Yu more than before. Now that Han Yu said this, Liu Xiu always felt a little uneasy, so he refused to stay any longer, stopped resting, and led the people to start again. Hit the road.
"What Xiu Qi said is not unreasonable. The enemy is cunning. It's better for us to be careful and leave the Yiyang Mansion as early as possible to reach a safe place. It won't be too late to have a good rest."
Han Yu actually wanted to say that it was already too late to be vigilant at this time. After Liu Xiu said this, not long after he set off, when he passed by a hillside, countless soldiers came out. It seemed that they had been ambushing beside the hillside for a long time. Yes, I am lying in ambush here, just waiting for them to come over and take action.
"Kill them all! A death order has been issued from above. Liu Xiu must be captured. Regardless of life or death, as long as Liu Xiu is captured, he will be heavily rewarded. Liu Xiu must not be allowed to leave. Otherwise, he will be engaged in military law. Today is not his death. It’s us who will die, kill us!” the leading soldier shouted in a loud voice.
With that soldier in mind, it was a matter of life and death. The soldiers rushed towards Liu Xiu with their knives as if they had been given blood. They all wanted to kill Liu Xiu with their swords.
"His grandma wants to kill me. It depends on whether you have the ability or not. It depends on whether you kill me first or whether I kill you first!" Liu Xiu didn't know whether he was angry or angry at those words. It was a rare occasion for him to utter a foul language. It seemed that he was angry because of the indifference between life and death.
"Liu Xiu, don't be so arrogant as a traitor. If I don't take your life this time, then your head will be returned to claim the reward!"
After speaking, the general of that place was impatient to talk and spoke directly with the knife in his hand.
Liu Xiu was not a vegetarian. Not to mention that he was protected by many guards and soldiers. He was also a man of literary and military skills. He also joined the desperate camp with a knife. The two parties fought hard, killing Hong. Blinded.
"Lord, be careful!" Han Yu escorted Liu Xiu without hesitation, occupying a favorable geographical location to prepare for what was to come.
When Liu Xiu saw Han Yu's actions and saw Han Yu guarding him with such a protective posture, he felt a little more moved and relieved, just like his reaction when encountering pursuers these days.
"Don't worry, Xiu Qi. Just go ahead and face the enemy. Don't worry about me. I, Liu Xiu, am not that useless scholar with no strength. I can still handle the assassinations of these soldiers!" Liu Xiu said while holding a hand in his hand. The sword and phoenix dance, and two lives were harvested in the blink of an eye.
"Well, Uncle Wen, be careful. Swords have no eyes. You must be careful to protect yourself. Leave this to me." Liu Xiu is so important to the court that he actually sent so many people to chase him. Although Han Yu has his own plans, the current problem still needs to be solved.
"Don't worry, I..." Liu Xiu was full of confidence. Even though there were a lot of pursuers this time, they were not important figures. With Han Yu here, he felt relieved! But before he finished speaking, a sword light stabbed behind him, but Liu Xiu himself didn't notice it and was only concerned with fighting with the person in front of him.
Seeing the sword light approaching Liu Xiu, the assassination technique and strength showed that it was an assassination master who could ambush in the team, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
Although Han Yu's hands were moving non-stop, he kept paying attention to the situation on Liu Xiu's side. Seeing this, he shouted to remind Liu Xiu. Before Liu Xiu could react, he quickly moved his body to block the fatal attack.
Liu Xiu had not yet reacted to Han Yu's words "Be careful, there is an assassin behind you", and he just turned around subconsciously.
