Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The 452nd chapter sacrifice (6)

The envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty were detained, and everyone could not leave the Zhou army camp for a while, the reason was to prevent them from inquiring about the truth. ∈↗ Vertex Fiction,

Li Yu, who was in the palace of Jiangning Mansion, could not get any news and was very anxious, but he had nothing to do and could only wait for the result. He felt like a prisoner waiting for trial, sending Zhou Xian and Liu Liuyao away, everything was out of control. In such a mood, Li Yu couldn't calm down to do anything, and paced back and forth at the gate of the palace all day long.

Looking back, the memorials on the imperial case inside have piled up like a mountain, Chen Qiao's, Liu Cheng's... various ministers have been busy writing letters these days. But Li Yu couldn't read a word. At such a juncture, what memorial could be more important than what he cared about the most?

When I looked up, the snow was still falling. Although it was small, it seemed that it never stopped. Floating in the entire world, covering everything in the world of snowflakes, the palace with double eaves extends to all directions layer by layer, and the palace is very quiet.

A close eunuch came from the corridor under the wide eaves, saw Li Yu standing at the door, and hurriedly knelt down to salute. Li Yu said: "Pingshen. Haven't the envoys heard back yet?"

The eunuch said: "Go back to Your Majesty, I haven't seen any news from my servant."

Li Yu sighed and murmured, "How long have they been away from Jiangning Mansion?"

The eunuch replied: "Two days."

Li Yu said again: "I feel like two years have passed..."

He couldn't tell the eunuch more about the secrets, so he walked into the palace. Two days was not long, but Zhou Jun's barracks was already near Jiangning City, at this time Zhou Xian and the others should have seen Guo Tiejiang, but they didn't know if they had done so.

Li Yu didn't do anything in the past two days, but felt physically and mentally exhausted under tremendous pressure and fear. He returned to the bedroom, lay down on the couch with his body to rest, only to find that there was a piece of paper beside the pillow, and when he picked it up, it was Zhou Xian's handwriting.

It said where to put the important things in his collection, where to put the letters and files that were inconvenient to be released to the court, and where to put the thick clothes that he usually wears when the weather is cold... The last sentence said, I know that this will become an eternal farewell, and I hope your majesty will treat Jiamin kindly.

After reading these trivial instructions, Li Yu immediately got up and sighed.

He suddenly realized that there should be a lot of small memories with Zhou Xian and his wife in the past few years, but he couldn't remember them. He only remembered that the two of them had sworn loyalty to each other many times, and some fun-seeking moments. Li Yu shook his head and said silently: The whole country depends on what Ehuang and you have done these days. I really have no choice, so don't blame me.

I just hope that they can live up to their expectations and send exciting good news!

...

In the barracks of the Great Zhou Army, Liu Liuyao was waiting for the dinner party.

A group of courtesans around were packing up and getting ready for the dance performance. They had been scared and taciturn for a while, but at this moment they started chatting, and vaguely heard them exaggerating each other's beauty against their will. Death is imminent, and these innocent singing girls don't know it yet.

Liu Liuyao looked at herself in front of a round bronze mirror she brought, the eyes in the bronze mirror showed a cold murderous intent, she did not soften her heart because of pity. National hatred, family feud, and bloody revenge are tonight, the only chance!

Zhou Xian had already missed the previous opportunity, Liu Liuyao doesn't know the specific situation now, whether Zhou Xian couldn't let go, or really couldn't find the opportunity... No matter what, tonight's dinner party must be risky, otherwise it will be difficult to find an opportunity to get close to Guo Shao.

Liu Liuyao was very calm and packed her things very seriously, as if she was spending her last moments. The clothes on the inside were tightly bound, and the outside was covered with a flowing dress. Although there were still snowflakes floating outside the tent, the clothes were very thin, and it was impossible to dance if they were thick. Then she picked up a jacket and put it outside to keep warm for the time being.

There are hardly any decorations on the body, which reduces the trouble for the woman who will be searched later.

However, Guo Shao was indeed quite bold, and even allowed the singing girls to dance with their swords. The sword dance must use a sword weapon, a real sword; otherwise, there will be no momentum, it is better not to watch the sword dance. Liu Liuyao sensed an opportunity and was just waiting to adapt. She took a deep breath, the pupils in the bronze mirror shrank slightly, and the coldness was gradually covered by her.

At this moment, an older general came to the door and said, "Are you all ready? Come and stand up, and follow me."

Liu Liuyao's heart tightened suddenly, she recognized this warrior, he was the one who was casually wandering by the river that day...Because almost all the officers and men of the Imperial Guard of the Zhou Army were young and strong, there were not many people of this age, so it was easy to identify them. Liu Liuyao felt that something was wrong, and he had a hunch that Zhou Jun's generals had already noticed something.

A group of singing girls walked forward one after another, Liu Liuyao couldn't stop, and stepped forward amidst the crowd, only to find that the martial artist's eyes found him from the crowd, and he looked twice more.

Liu Liuyao was born in the family of a general, so he was not intimidated by this detail. As she walked, she said silently: Don't forget your words!

These four words were not only a reminder to Zhou Xian yesterday, but also an encouragement to his own courage.

A group of people walked out of the tent, and the ground was a bit muddy, because the snow in the south of the Yangtze River was very light and relatively humid. After a long time, they came to the largest tent, which should be Zhou Jun's Chinese army tent. I saw some military generals walking in one after another. When they reached the door, they untied their swords and put them on the knife holder outside the door... It's really funny. The generals untied their swords, but the singing girls carried their swords.

However, Liu Liuyao and the others did not go to the big tent of the Chinese army, but were taken to an airtight tent next to them for a search. At this moment, Zhou Xian came in wearing a dance costume and jacket.

She soon saw Liu Liuyao, and they looked at each other without saying a word.

Liu Liuyao observed for a while, and found that Zhou Xian looked haggard and depressed. Although this woman is a queen, she doesn't look like a person who can handle big things, she seems too weak; it was indeed a bit difficult to force her to seize the opportunity to assassinate at night. But now it doesn't matter how Zhou Xian is. This time, she doesn't need to intervene in performing dances, and she doesn't have martial arts skills, so it is impossible for her to help. Liu Liuyao is going to do it by herself.

Seeing Zhou Xian's eyes flickering, he was preoccupied. Liu Liuyao cursed secretly, don't want you to assassinate, just dance well, don't make mistakes to alert the other party... You look like this, why don't you participate in the dance!

Liu Liuyao didn't care to look any further, a few women had already walked in outside the door, and the curtain was drawn down to cover it tightly. They were all elderly women, also dressed in rough sarongs, who were recruited from somewhere to cook and cook; but one of them looked a little unusual. Sure enough, the woman said clearly: "Except for the sword, no hard objects are allowed, hairpins and jade ornaments are not allowed. Take off the things first and search the body; put the sword on this table."

No matter what the woman was doing, the singers at this time did not dare to resist, and they all followed her will. The woman sat on the edge of the table and looked closely at the sword placed on it.

In order to pass smoothly without any mistakes, Liu Liuyao did not bring any other lethal weapon except the sword, and she didn't need it either. Looking at the scene of body search in front of her, she already felt that moment was getting closer...
