During this period, Li Luo spent a lot of time practicing knife skills. He did not do anything else, but just to protect himself.

He has good physical fitness and strength, and he has fought Captain Cao on Mount Mani. Although he was defeated, he finally killed Captain Cao with a plot to plot against the bow and card, but it was a valuable hand-to-hand combat experience after all.

Now his hand-to-hand combat level is much better than before. If he fights against Pill Chief Cao, he already has a chance to win.

As one of the three private soldiers of the Liu family, Liu Wu must have stronger combat power than Cao's soldiers, but it is impossible to be much stronger. In addition, he was injured and had the courage to take it away, so he had every hope of killing him personally.

Cui Xiuning was a little worried, but when she saw Du Lie bent her bow and arrows in case of accidents, she felt relieved.

Anyway, even if Li Luo is defeated, Liu Wu will not have the chance to kill him.

Li Luo took the initiative to attack and slashed Liu Wu with one sword, fierce and fast!

Liu Wu only saw this knife and his confidence began to shake: this little guy can use a knife!

Liu Wu shed a lot of blood, and lost his strength, and his reaction was no longer quick. He held the knife in his right hand and finally blocked Li Luo's killing moves.

But his body took a few steps back before he stood firm.

This little white face has such strength!

Li Luo cut off Liu Wu with a knife, and his confidence soared. He steadily moved forward, stabbing or slashing, making a tiger full of wind and a lot of rules.

Liu Wu was unable to support his one arm, and his right shoulder was painful. He could only retreat step by step and resisted desperately. In a moment, he felt that the straight knife in his right hand was getting heavier and heavier.

He could not have imagined that Li Luo looked like a pampered young man, but not only had enough strength, but also had some excitement in his sword skills. If he was not injured, he would still be confident that he would kill the other party within ten swords. But now, he had no power to counterattack.

When everyone saw this, they knew that the outcome had been decided.

Li Luo suddenly slowed down his attack and kept giving Liu Wu a chance to counterattack.

Liu Wu finally counterattacked several times, but was blocked by Li Luo. After repeating this seven or eight times, Li Luo gained more experience in hand-to-hand blocking, and his offensive and defensive transformation became more and more natural and skillful.

Liu Wu's face was pale, and half of his body was stained with blood from the wound on his left shoulder. Not only did his strength become weaker, but his eyes began to turn black. In the end, he fought desperately only with his obsession with his life.

Until now, Li Luo knew that Liu Wu's sparring value was gone and he could kill him.

Li Luo withdrew his knife and stabbed it straightly, and easily stabbed into Liu Wu's chest. At the same time, he kicked it out and drew the knife as the situation.

Liu Wu screamed and fell to the ground. He tried hard to raise his head, stared at Li Luo and Cui Xiuning with great resentment, and then died after struggling for a few times.

"I took their swords, cut off their heads, showed them to the township for pirates, and sent them to the county magistrate's office to record their merits!" Li Luo ordered.

…………

Liu Chengqian waited until dawn, but he didn't see Liu Wu and others coming back. How could he know that the assassination failed?

"What a bunch of trash! I'm a big deal!"

Liu Chengqian's face was as gloomy as if it was about to freeze, and the two concubines beside him were trembling in fear.

Liu Chengjuan got up in his clothes and immediately ordered to inquire about the situation. Then he knelt in front of the desk and thought about the next countermeasures.

Liu Wu and the others must have failed. It would be great if they were all dead. They were afraid of being captured by Li Luo. It would be troublesome to confess that he ordered the assassination.

In recent years, Liu Chengqian has been involved in several assassinations, and all of them have succeeded without exception, and no handle is left.

He thought this assassination of Li Luo was as smooth as before. After all, Li Luo lived without high wall protection, and only a few township warriors were used as guards at night. And the eleven people he sent were all elite private soldiers, and they were determined and unintentional. How could they fail?

It makes no sense!

Could it be that the plan was leaked and Li Luo was prepared and set up an ambush?

If this is the case, who would have leaked the news?

There were only a few people present at that time, and Liu Chengzun quickly thought of Ji Ding. Because only Ji Ding went out the most, the suspect was the most.

However, Liu Chengqian did not dare to conclude that the assassination failed because of the leak.

It is also possible that Li Luo was afraid of death, so there were many guards hidden around him, and Liu Wu was outnumbered.

It's also possible...

The more Liu Chengqian thought about it, the more he felt that everything was possible.

But the most urgent thing is to separate the relationship with the Liu family!

Li Luo was a ninth-rank official appointed by the county magistrate himself. He also had friendship with the Lord of Chuandeng Temple. It is said that he was a registered disciple of the Yuan Dynasty national master and also worked as a minor official in the Crown Prince of the Yuan Dynasty.

More importantly, Li Luo is likely to be truly from the Li family in Renzhou.

The Li family in Renzhou is one of the top major clans in Goryeo. It is definitely not something that the Liu family can fight against.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, it is a bit certain that Li Luo must have a good origin and is definitely not an ordinary person.

If the Liu family assassinated Li Luo, at least it would anger the county magistrate Zheng Lu and offend the head of Chuandeng Temple. His seventh-rank joining the army would be considered a matter of the end.

This is the best result. The worst result is to anger the Li family in Renzhou, and the entire Liu family will be in trouble.

In fact, if Li Luo had not done anything to hinder the expansion plan of the Liu family and the plan to use the famine to release usury to force the people to become slaves was dashed, Liu Chengzun would not have been willing to risk assassination of Li Luo.

In the morning, the news finally came. Ten pirates entered the Duzhai camp at night and robbed and killed people. They were met by Li Duzhai who was patrolling the night. Fortunately, there were many archers among the local tyrants. Ten thieves were shot and killed on the spot, and four others were killed by everyone.

Now all ten people have been beheaded and will be displayed in the village for one day tomorrow and sent to the county magistrate's yamen the day after tomorrow.

Now the people in the village are running around and telling each other, and people are very happy. Because pirates have been raging in recent years, the people have suffered a lot. Now that ten people have been wiped out, it is of course the achievements of Li Duzhai.

When Liu Chengqian heard these news, he finally confirmed that Liu Wu and others were wiped out. If Liu Wu happened to meet Li Luo and led the village to patrol the night, and there were archers among the village torches, it would be normal for Liu Wu to fail.

Liu Chengzun sent someone to inquire again. Sure enough, Li Luo did lead dozens of village heroes to patrol the night last night, and he couldn't do it.

In this case, it was not caused by leaks, but Liu Wu’s luck was too bad and he made the wrong choice.

What Liu Chengzun didn't know was that after Li Luo killed Liu Wu and others last night, he really took people to patrol the night, and deliberately let many villagers know about it. There was only one purpose, to confuse the public and prevent Liu Chengzun from thinking of someone to inform him, so as to protect Ji Ding from being suspected.

"Bastard...bastard! Liu Wu is not to be jealous of death!"

Liu Chengqian gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, but he didn't scold him. After all, he didn't want to make the private soldiers around him feel heartbroken.

Liu Chengzun was angry and suddenly thought of a question.

wrong!

Why are there ten people? The assassins he sent out were eleven!

There is another person? Run away? Or...

Liu Chengzun immediately sent someone to inquire whether it was ten or eleven.

Soon, the private soldiers came to report, and it was indeed about ten people. Li Luo issued an announcement and stamped it and posted it, so he would not make any mistakes.

Liu Chengzhang thought hard and said that there were ten people killed by Li Luo, so what about one? Who is this person? Is it dead or alive?

This is a living person! A witness!

Just as Liu Chengjuan was worried, a private soldier suddenly came in and reported: "Da Langjun, Li Luo from Duzhai sent someone to send a letter."

What?

Liu Chengqian took it and saw that the envelope was: "Liu Shenjun personally opened his post, Li Luo, Renzhou."

When Liu Chengqian saw that this was a handsome and unconventional calligraphy, which contained the style of a great man.

Liu Chengzun couldn't help but admire. Just looking at this word, you can tell that Li Luo is not casual and must have an extraordinary background.

But when he opened it and saw the content, Liu Chengzuo almost smiled angry.

The above actually wrote: "I have known all my enthusiasm for joining the army last night. Now I have two points to say. One is to join the army to be polite and pay 2,000 guan to support the people. Now I should repay the reward for the fight against bandits. The other is to join the army and refuse to give up only 2,000 guan. Now I should report the truth to the county magistrate. I hope that the army will not make mistakes."

Liu Chengqian held back his anger and looked at it again, and suddenly laughed loudly. Tears of laughter came out, and even Liu Chengming next to him did not dare to say anything.

Liu Chengrun’s lungs were so angry that they exploded.

Over the years, he has been the one who has made people lose their grief, ruined people, slaves, and killed people. How could he suffer a loss?

But now, not only did the assassination fail and the eleven elite soldiers lose, Li Luo even threatened him and asked him for a ban on 2,000 guan!

But, can you not give it?

That survivor should be in Li Luo's hands and must have confessed. So Li Luo said that he would kill ten people, not eleven people.

This is the witness! Moreover, some villagers can definitely recognize the private soldiers who were killed as the private soldiers of the Liu family.

If Li Luo is serious, he will confirm his plan to assassinate. Assassination is a taboo in the officialdom. The county magistrate will not let go of it easily, and it is certain that he will lose his official position.

Liu Chengming couldn't help but pick up the letter and his face changed, "Brother, should I give it to you or not?"
