"Mr. Kong Xuan, Kong Rong, Ma Rixi and other rebellious senior officials have been captured by the coefficient. Can you trust Bei now?" Liu Bei looked at Kong Xuan and said.
Hearing this, Kong Xuan's eyes skipped over Liu Bei and saw Kong Rong and others not far away who were tied into rice dumplings and had a bruised nose and face.
"Where are you going? Let's wait until you execute them with your own hands." Kong Xuan said disdainfully.
Upon hearing this, Liu Bei's face turned pale instantly.
It is not a concept to capture Kong Rong and other loyal officials of the Han Dynasty and execute them with his own hands.
If he had really done this, he might not be able to escape his infamy for the rest of his life.
In order to kill Liu Bei, Jia Xu did not leave any chance of survival.
"Lord."
Xu Shu called softly and woke Liu Bei up.
For him, the most important thing now is to save his life. He can only save his life before he can talk about anything else. If he wants to save his life, he must prove his innocence. Whether he is willing or not, he must personally execute Kong Rong and others.
At this thought, Liu Bei immediately made up his mind. No matter what the future holds, he must first overcome this difficulty.
At this moment, Cao Zhengchun arrived with the swordsman named in the book. After saying a few words in Kong Xuan's ear, Kong Xuan immediately said to Liu Bei: "There is still a fish that slipped through the net, so there is no need to catch it and execute it. Liu Bei,
You go ahead and kill him."
"who?"
Liu Bei asked doubtfully. He knew all the senior officials of the Imperial Party, and he had captured them all without missing a beat. There was no way any fish had slipped through the net.
Kong Xuan did not speak, but Cao Zhengchun said: "The rebel party prepared a substitute for your majesty. This person looks exactly like your majesty. It was because of this person that your majesty was kidnapped out of the palace by the rebel party.
And this counterfeit has caused His Majesty to fall into the hands of the rebels. This is an unpardonable crime and he can just be executed."
Hearing this, Liu Bei felt even more bitter in his heart. Anyone who can be His Majesty's substitute must be a close confidant. Now these close confidants are forcing him to kill His Majesty. This is not to completely force him to be the opposite of the big man.
But there was nothing Liu Bei could do about it.
People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat.
If you want to survive, you have to do what you are told.
"Don't go too far."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both glared at Cao Zhengchun, and they naturally understood what this meant.
Cao Zhengchun sneered and said: "You can decide for yourself whether you want to do it or not. Our family is not forcing you, Mr. Xuande."
"never mind."
Liu Bei stopped Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and sighed: "Bei will go and get rid of this sinner for my big man."
Cao Zhengchun smiled and nodded. He was very satisfied with Liu Bei's knowledge.
At this time, Liu Xie hid in a slum under the protection of several guards and eunuchs.
Since the Qin army had sealed off the entire street, and all the grandmasters and top-notch experts who protected Liu Xie had died in the battle, Liu Xie and a few others could not escape at all.
In desperation, Liu Xie could only hide in the mixed slums to delay time, hoping that the people in the palace would notice and send people to rescue them as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, the pursuers have been killed by slaves. Now we are temporarily safe." A handsome and feminine eunuch said.
Hearing this, Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiao Tianzi, you have done a good job, and my cultivation of you is not in vain."
"It is the duty of a servant to die for Your Majesty."
As soon as Xiao Tianzi finished speaking, the eunuch Wang Zhi pointed at the trembling family of three hiding in the corner, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, this family not only knows our whereabouts, but also heard about your identity, Your Majesty. For safety reasons,
It’s best to start getting rid of it as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, the whole family was so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Liu Xie saw this and said indifferently: "Do it cleanly."
"promise."
Wang Zhi laughed suddenly, and then followed the unlucky family of three. They all died under Wang Zhi's knife without even being able to scream.
"Your Majesty, it's not good."
At this moment, another eunuch Wang Zhen ran over and said anxiously: "The Qin army is searching door to door. I'm afraid it won't be long before they find us."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rapid knock on the door, and he shouted: "Open the door quickly and search for traitors."
The expressions of everyone in the room instantly became extremely ugly, especially Wang Zhen.
The Qin army's men were able to find them so quickly. It was obvious that he had given away his clues when he came back.
"waste."
Liu Xie cursed angrily, while Wang Zhen lowered his head and said nothing.
"Your Majesty, we cannot stay here any longer. I will protect your Majesty and fight your way out," Odazi said.
Liu Xie nodded.
Everyone grabbed their weapons and slowly moved toward the door, ready to rush out. However, before they could open the door, the door was kicked open. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and three others took the lead in breaking in.
Without saying a word, Guan Yu raised his sword and chopped off Wang Zhen's head.
Wang Zhen yelled and raised his sword to block, but he was no match for Guan Yu. The sword in his hand was cut off directly, and his head fell to the ground.
Zhang Fei blocked all the guards on his own, leaving Liu Bei and Wang Zhi to fight in a duel.
After Liu Bei and Wang Zhi fought for more than ten times, he first cut off Wang Zhi's left hamstring with one sword, then cut off his right hand with another sword, and finally sealed his throat with his sword, killing Wang Zhi under the sword.
After killing Wang Zhi, Liu Bei looked around again and saw that no one was alive. All the guards were killed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"Brother, the substitute ran away under the protection of a young eunuch, but he shouldn't have gone far," Zhang Fei said.
Liu Bei glanced at Kong Xuan who was watching him at the door, gritted his teeth and said, "Chase."
The fierce fighting and continuous screams also made the people in the slums realize that killings were taking place where they lived, so they peeked through the gaps in the doors and windows to see what was happening outside.
I saw a eunuch protecting a young man running down the street. It was Xiao Tianzi and Liu Xie, and the one chasing behind them was the famous Uncle Liu Huang.
Liu Xie was running when he suddenly fell, but Xiao Tianzi not only did not help him, but ran away by himself.
When Liu Xie saw this, he immediately showed a look of disbelief. He couldn't believe that the little eunuch he had trained would betray him when he was in the most difficult situation.
Seeing this, Liu Bei said to Guan Zhang: "Second brother and third brother, you go after that eunuch, be careful, he is a master."
"I understand, brother."
After Guan Zhang left, Liu Bei walked toward Liu Xie who was lying on the ground with his sword in hand. As he approached, Liu Xie, who had been motionless, suddenly rose up and pulled out the dagger from his arms to stab Liu Bei.
brush……
As soon as Liu Xie moved, Liu Bei raised his sword and cut off Liu Xie's hand with one strike, and the dagger fell to the ground.
"ah……"
Liu Xie screamed in pain and randomly roared at Liu Bei: "Liu Xuande, how dare you kill the king?"
"Stop pretending, the real His Majesty is over there in the palace, and he is protected by two great masters. You are just a substitute." Liu Bei said calmly.
The violent force made Liu Xie's face become extremely ferocious, but he endured the heartbreaking pain and shouted: "I am Liu Xie."
Liu Bei sighed and shook his head. In his eyes, Liu Xie's behavior was just a means of survival.
"Don't worry. When the day comes when we are ready to eliminate the Qin thieves and restore the Han Dynasty, I will definitely not forget your contribution."
After saying this, Liu Bei ignored Liu Xie and stabbed Liu Xie directly with his sword.
Liu Xie's eyes widened when he saw this, and he hurriedly avoided, but found that he couldn't avoid it at all. Seeing the sword approaching, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and shouted: "Wait, I am really Liu..."
Before he finished speaking, the sword pierced directly through the palm of his hand and then into Liu Xie's heart.
