Chapter 768: Assassination of Liu Xiu?

After this war, the six princes of Jingzhou were killed and captured in two deaths. Not only did they have a vacuum of power, but their military strength was sharply reduced by half.

So it is not difficult to imagine that Hong Xiuquan from Jiaozhou in the south would not miss this opportunity and would lead the army to invade Jingzhou.

The only thing that Qin Hao cares about in Jingzhou is Liu Xiu, the potential threat that Qin Hao will never let him go, but it is not that simple to kill Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu may be unable to resist the Qin army, but it doesn’t mean that Liu Xiu can’t escape?

With this battle lesson, Liu Xiu could not fight head-on with the Qin army, so even if he sent a large army to encircle and suppress it, it would not be possible to ensure that Liu Xiu was killed. As long as Liu Xiu could not be killed, it would be meaningless to send troops.

Since it is difficult to kill Liu Xiu head-on, Qin Hao is preparing to send a killer to assassinate him. While Liu Xiu's "Destiny" effect has not yet recovered, he will directly eliminate the threat in the bud.

As for the candidate for the killer, Qin Hao already had plans in his mind. He was going to send all the seven swords, and it was necessary to ensure that he could kill one blow.

As soon as he returned to Wancheng, Qin Hao immediately summoned Dugu Qiubai and seven others, and issued a task to assassinate Liu Xiu.

Facing this mission, Dugu Qiubai and others were very surprised. After all, Liu Xiu was just a defeated general, and his power was very weak, and he had no famous masters.

Why is the lord so afraid of such a person who is not even a prince? He sent seven of them to act together. Is it enough for any of them?

Although the Seven Swordsmen were confused, this mission was issued by Qin Hao himself after all, so they would never refuse. They went south to Jiangling without even asking about the reason.

On the way, the seven people received the news that Liu Xiu was named the governor of Jingzhou. Only then did they realize how vicious Qin Hao's vision was. Liu Xiu was just a hidden dragon!

On the road that was necessary to go to Jiangling, Xunqiu, wearing a Confucian robe, slowly walked to the middle of the road, looked at the seven people on the horse's back with a smile, and said with a smile: "Seven friends, where are you going?"

The man looked at each other with confusion. Although Jingzhou is a place where hundreds of families gather, he would not encounter it just by going out, right?

And isn’t the Confucian base camp in Yingchuan? Why did the Confucian predecessor appear here?

After all, Xunqiu was once the leader of Confucianism and was listed as the "Tianxia Wenzong" with Guiguzi. The reason why Xun Shuang, the leader of Confucianism, was able to be ranked as the "Tianxia Master" with Guiguzi because of his origins from the Xun family and Xunqiu.

Therefore, although the seven people could not guess Xunzi's ideas, they did not dare to neglect them. At the same time, they dismounted and walked to Xunzi to show respect.

Without looking at monks and Buddha's faces, Xunqiu was Xun Yu's grandfather after all, and Xun Yu's status in the Qin army is one of the few people second only to Qin Hao.

"I've met Master Xun."

Leading by Gai Nie, the seven people bowed respectfully together, and then Gai Nie said again: "Of course we have a task. Why did we appear in such a wilderness to Master Xun?"

"Of course, it's for the mission of the seven friends."

Xunzi smiled indifferently, caressed her long beards, and said warmly: "I looked at the sky at night and found that the fate of the three friends was dim. It is not appropriate to go south at this time. If you force it to go south, there will be a great disaster, so I will advise you to return the same way."

When the seven people heard this, they frowned and thought to themselves that this was the bad person who came, but how did Xunqiu know the content of their mission?

Also, doesn’t Confucianism support the lord?

The complex relationship between Qin Hao and Baijia is probably not clear about anyone except Qin Hao himself, and naturally the three of them don’t know.

Although the seven people were confused, they would not give up their mission because of this. They respected Xunzi because of Xun Yu. However, if Xunzi hindered their mission, they could only kill them.

Dugu Qiubai stood up with a cold face and said in a deep voice: "Master Xun, we have already put life and death aside. The task is more important than our lives, so please don't make things difficult for us."

After saying that, Dugu Qiubai led the horse, walked forward expressionlessly, and directly bypassed Xunzi.

In addition, Liu Jian was shocked when he saw this. Since Dugu Qiubai dared to ignore Xun Qiong, who was the "Wenxia Wenzong", this kind of courage alone defeated them.

"Master Xun, please forgive me." Gai Nie said lightly, and then the six people followed.

Xunqiu was defeated by the seven juniors, but she didn't know how to be angry at all. Instead, her eyes narrowed and her lips moved slightly. Although he didn't make any sound, the seven people behind her changed their faces and turned around at the same time, with a serious look on her face.

Concealing sound transmission is not only a sound transmission technique, but also an attack method. It directly transmits the sound to other people's brains through internal force. When you practice until you are successful, you can directly knock the enemy's head through sound.

Of course, this secret technique cannot hurt the master, and the real shock of the three people is not Xunzi's strength, but what he said.

If this is the case, Liu Xiu is really not easy to kill.

The three of them thought to themselves that the incident has escalated now, and it is not a problem that can be solved by killing one Liu Xiu, but their mission has become secondary.

Xunqiu took out a letter and said lightly: "Take this letter back to Qin Hao, don't worry, he will not only not blame you for giving up the task, but will also reward you."

The three of them looked at each other, and Dugu Qiubai took the lead and took it over, saying, "Master Xun, there will be a time later."

Dugu Qiubai bowed his hand and then the three of them rode their horses away, coming and going faster.

Looking at the three of them leaving, Xunkui also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was the cultivation level of a great master, if he fought, he might not be the opponent of the seven pure sword masters.

Thinking of the experience just now, a trace of loneliness flashed in Xunqiu's eyes and sighed: "Qin Hao, why is your vision so accurate? Now my Confucianism is about to be completely divided."

After looking at Jiangling's direction, Xunzi sighed and said, "Xiu'er, I can only do this for you, please do it yourself."

After saying that, Xunzi lightly his toes and soon disappeared into the mountains.

Qin Hao, who was far away in Wancheng, didn't know that this assassination had failed just now. He was arranging matters in Xiangyang at this time.

Looking at the heroic and upright Yue Fei below, Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction and said in a deep voice: "Yue Fei, I will order you to be the garrison of Xiangyang, leading 15,000 troops to guard the four counties of Nanjun, and allowing you to open the granary of Xiangyang Kufu, select strong people from the surrendered soldiers and the people, and expand the army to 60,000."

Yue Fei suddenly showed excitement, knelt on one knee and fisted and said, "Thank you for your trust, but you can only repay him by crushing your bones."
