Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 69
That Liu Xian vomited for a while, and when he stood up again, his face looked much better.

He smiled at the man behind him, shook his head and said: "This drinker is not good enough, of course there are subordinates to save the situation. Let's go to be the county lord, just stretch out your hands and grab the money in your arms!"

This Liu Ang spoke generously, and he laughed again after speaking: "Do you think so, brother Du Heng?"

This Du Heng raised his brows and responded with a smile, "What Brother Liu Ang said is absolutely true!"

Liu Ang and Du Heng were both successful candidates in Jinke. They became disciples of Changsun Wuji and became members of the Guanlong Group.

Once they entered the Guanlong Group, it meant that their official careers would be smooth and stable in the future, so these two had become the most watched new stars in this year's exams.

But they didn't expect that Changsun Wuji would send them to Shu as officials. This was not a good job.

They were afraid of Li Ke's reputation and worried that Li Ke would use tricks to harm them, but Changsun Wuji's orders must be obeyed.

Fortunately, Changsun Wuji has personally summoned these eighteen officials, saying that they are important pawns, and he will definitely take care of them and keep them safe.

So, a group of 18 of them rushed to Shu by boat.

Among the companions, there was an old You Tiao who had been an official for many years, and he suggested to find a girl to accompany him as soon as he boarded the boat. Liu Ang and Du Heng are both descendants of aristocratic families, so they are not surprised by this. Almost.

At this moment, a gust of evening wind came, causing Liu Ang to shrink his neck and look out: "It's pitch dark around here, but it's quite cold!"

Du Heng was born taller, so he straightened his chest: "Where is it cold?"

Then he smiled faintly, wrinkled his eyebrows and said: "Could it be that brother Liu Ang has been too happy these two days and ruined his body?"

After saying that, without waiting for Liu Ang's rebuttal, he turned around and walked towards the cabin again: "Go back quickly! The girl Chunzhao is still waiting for Brother Liu to be happy! If you are not well, I will do it for Brother Liu..."

When Liu Ang heard this, he said anxiously: "What are you talking about? I, Liu Ang, am also the vanguard in the romantic formation. How can I be afraid of such a small scene? When we arrive in Shu, Liu will take Brother Du to visit Explore the customs of Shu and have fun!"

Just as he was talking, another gust of cold wind hit, making Liu Ang shiver again.

"It's so cold!"

Liu Ang sighed and tightened his clothes.

This gust of wind came and went quickly. Soon the wind and waves stopped, and the surrounding area suddenly became quiet.

"what?"

Liu Ang was stunned for a moment, he frowned and tilted his ears, as if he was listening to something.

"What's going on? Why does it sound like something is hitting the ship's plank?"

He was talking to himself, and put his ears on the side of the boat, listening carefully.

"Hey! Brother Liu, do you really want to stop drinking? Then I will be disrespectful to recruiting girls!"

Du Heng's yelling came from inside the cabin, he was hugging a woman at the moment, laughing out loud.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ang quickly got up and walked towards the cabin with big strides: "Brother Du, someone is here! Quickly put Miss Chunzhao down!"

At this moment, under the surface of the official boat, ten black-clothed men were diving to the bottom of the boat holding their breath. They formed a circle, pulled out the chisels they carried with them, and were hitting the bottom of the boat one by one.

There were many winds and waves at night, and the sound of the river beating against the planks of the boat provided cover for their movements.

"Dum, thump, thump!"

With more than a dozen knocking sounds, a gap finally appeared at the bottom of the boat, and the river water began to pour into the boat.

They did not go so deep as to leave traces of someone deliberately chiseling the boat.

Once the boat was cut open, they stopped and quickly floated up to the stern. They used the stern to hide their bodies and put their heads out of the water to breathe.

These people are the killers under Li Ke's command.

At this moment, the leader counted the number of people, then threw away the chisel in his hand, and whispered: "I have seen the portraits of those people, can you recognize them?"

The subordinates nodded in response.

"Okay, once these people fall into the water, we will quickly drag these people to the bottom of the water and drown them. Keep your hands and feet clean, and don't leave any evidence!"

The leader ordered again.

Everyone nodded, and then the ten killers stopped talking, quietly waiting for the official ship to sink.

The bottom of the boat leaked, and it didn't take long for the entire hull to capsize. It didn't take long for the boat to start sinking.

The hull had begun to tilt slightly, and was tilting towards the direction they had just dug the hole.

At this time, the people on board seemed to have discovered something unusual, and the killers could already hear someone screaming on board.

"The boat is leaking! Run away!"

First there was a shout from the boatman, and then there were screams from men and women.

These people were also afraid of death. At this time, they saw the water leaking from the hull and ran out of the cabin.

"Ah! What should I do?"

"Quick... jump off the boat..."

"I...I don't know how to water..."

"Help!"

After waiting for a long time, people finally started to jump off the ship.

"action!"

When the first person jumped off the boat, the leader of the killer gave an order and told his subordinates to act.

The killers swam away quickly, watching the divers in all directions.

Their target was the eighteen officials, and of course the others ignored them.

This is also easy to distinguish. They have seen the portraits earlier and can already recognize these people.Even if there are shadows where the light cannot shine, they cannot distinguish the diving person, they can still distinguish whether they are officials by their actions and smell.

Those officials were all drunk, and they were all running out crookedly at this moment. As soon as they approached the side of the ship, the killer could already smell the alcohol.

But these people seem to cherish their lives very much, and they haven't dived alone yet.

Soldiers and boatmen have already dived into the water, but the killers don't care, they just hide their bodies, pretending to wait for the opportunity in the dark night.

Finally, an official dived into the water. It was a young man, and it was Liu Ang who had heard the sound of the boat chiseling earlier.

"thump!"

After this sound, a killer swam past in the middle of the night.

This Liu Ang was standing on the boat before, the lights on the boat flickered his figure, he could still see his face clearly, but once in the water, it was completely impossible to distinguish him.

But how could the killer who had been staring at him miss it?

The killer quickly swam to Liu Ang's side, and started diving when he was about ten feet away from him.

You don't need to dive too deep, as long as you dive until Liu Ang can't find him approaching, that's enough.

Swimming to Liu Ang's side, the killer moved suddenly, grabbed Liu Ang's thigh, and sank down hard.

That Liu Ang was still not sober at the moment, he jumped into the water, just paddling his hands subconsciously to keep his body balanced.

But suddenly a gravity pulls, how can he resist it?Immediately it was pulled underwater.

Shashou dragged Liu Ang all the way to the bottom of the water, pressing him down desperately, not letting him get up.

This requires excellent water skills, but the killer has been rigorously trained to do this kind of action underwater with ease.

That Liu Ang struggled violently at first, but after a while, he slowly slowed down his movements, and immediately stopped moving completely.
