When Zhu Can saw that the visitor was only twenty steps away from him, instead of panicking, he was overjoyed. He repeatedly ordered the people around him: "Hey, this guy is really brave. Hurry up! I want to taste his flesh if you catch him alive."
What a taste!"
Not only does this guy like to eat human flesh, but he also has a unique way of choosing his guards, using stupid and thick rough guys. These people don't know martial arts or even riding skills. Their only advantage is their strength. After Zhu Can's order, these rough guys drove themselves.
The war horse rushed towards Liu Ziqiu.
If forty or fifty horses collided with each other all at once, it would be really difficult for Liu Ziqiu to deal with it. At least the momentum of his attack would be greatly weakened. But these rough guys were not charging at each other, but walking away. Once the distance between the two sides was close,
The war horses were unable to gallop. Secondly, these rough men were not very good at riding horses, and their bodies were extremely large, so the war horses could not move forward.
Liu Ziqiu's riding skills were refined on the grassland. With a slight lift of the reins, the black horse seemed to understand Liu Ziqiu's intention. It rushed left and right among the forty or fifty horses and ran to the big blue flag.
noodle.
Zhu Can stared at Liu Ziqiu's performance in stunned silence, as if he was dreaming. When he came to his senses, Liu Ziqiu had reined in his horse and stood in front of him, and there was no one on his left or right to protect him. Zhu Can was also a brave man, otherwise he would have
How to control so many subordinates? After being shocked, he shouted loudly and struck Liu Ziqiu with his sword.
Liu Ziqiu didn't panic, and gently stretched out his left hand. His movement didn't seem to be fast, he just stretched it out slowly, but Zhu Can tried his best but couldn't get out of the way, and Liu Ziqiu had already grabbed the pole.
Zhu Can was also known for his great strength. Seeing that the long stick was caught by Liu Ziqiu, he tried his best to drag it into his arms. Unexpectedly, the long stick seemed to have taken root. No matter how hard he tried, it remained motionless.
Seeing this, the more than 40 rough guards gathered around again. Liu Ziqiu shouted loudly, and Mo Dao drew a circle around him. A sharp murderous aura passed through, and the group of rough men only felt the stinging pain in their faces, and the weapons in their hands
The "ding-dong-dang-dang" fell to the ground, and many of it had been broken into two or three pieces. The rough men looked at Liu Ziqiu as if they had seen a ghost, and they all screamed and fled in all directions.
Zhu Can also had a pale face, but he still held on to the pole tightly.
Liu Ziqiu chuckled: "If you want it so much, I'll give it back to you."
After saying that, Liu Ziqiu let go of his hand. Zhu Can was grabbing the pole and dragging him back. Liu Ziqiu's release came so suddenly that he couldn't react. He fell backwards and fell under the horse.
In desperation, Zhu Can was in a hurry and abandoned Changshan. He just wanted to hold on to the reins. Because he knew very well that if he fell off his horse in the chaos of the army, he would probably be killed by the enemy even if he was not killed.
The army was trampled to pieces.
Just when Zhu Can's head was about to hit the ground, he suddenly felt his body stagnate. Then he rose into the air and fell heavily again. He was so frightened that he subconsciously closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he realized that he had already
Being pinned firmly to the horse, Liu Ziqiu was horrified and asked repeatedly: "You, who are you?"
Liu Ziqiu sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that if you don't stop them quickly, you will never see the sun tomorrow again!"
A cunning smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Zhu Can's mouth: "Do you still want to retreat calmly in the midst of thousands of troops? If you understand the current situation, let Zhu go immediately, and Zhu can share wealth and wealth with you!"
Liu Ziqiu secretly used his inner strength and laughed loudly. The laughter spread clearly and could be heard clearly both above and below the city. Many people stopped what they were doing. The battlefield suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere was strange and depressing.
.
Amid laughter, Liu Ziqiu suddenly shouted: "Zhu Can has been captured alive by Liu! If you abandon your weapons and surrender, Liu can pardon your innocence! Liu can also allocate you food and land to keep you safe.
Wait until the autumn harvest!”
The reason why these people were coerced by Zhu Can was that on the one hand they were afraid of being eaten by Zhu Can, and on the other hand they were indeed hungry and desperate. Who doesn't want to be a good citizen with peace of mind, the days of cannibalism are unbearable after all. Listen.
After listening to Liu Ziqiu's words, many traitor soldiers had begun to discard their weapons and even opened a path leading to the city gate.
Liu Ziqiu held Mo Dao in one hand and Zhu Can in the other, rode his horse to the city, and said loudly: "This is Liu Ziqiu, the general manager of the Sui River West Road. Zhu Can has been captured alive by someone, why don't you open the city gate quickly!"
Ma Yuangui poked his head out from the city, raised his hands and said, "I have heard the name of General Manager Liu a little bit. But General Manager Liu is far away in the west, but the warrior is here alone. How can we prove the hero's identity? Please forgive me for not dare to open this city.
Door."
Liu Ziqiu laughed: "Since you don't dare to open the door, Liu can come up himself!"
I saw Liu Ziqiu suddenly standing up on his horse, tapping his feet lightly on the city wall, and after a few ups and downs, he had reached the top of the city. Everyone above and below the city were stunned, and no one had time to react.
Liu Ziqiu threw Zhu Can to the ground and shouted: "Tie him up!"
A dozen defenders hurried forward and tied up Zhu Can, as if Liu Ziqiu was really their commander.
Ma Yuangui was stunned for a moment, then he had no choice but to step forward to greet him and said, "Is it true that the strong man is really the steward?"
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "It's guaranteed to be replaced if it's fake!"
After more than two years of tempering in the Western Regions and Mobei, Liu Ziqiu himself was surprised. His internal strength had improved by leaps and bounds compared to the past, especially the use of spiritual power, which seemed to be a bit self-taught. Just a few words.
, the mentality of the more than 100,000 people in the city gradually changed.
In fact, the hand of the general manager of Hexi Road could not reach Nanyang. But Nanyang has always been rich and merchants gathered. As the prefect of Nanyang, Ma Yuangui naturally lived a comfortable life. At the same time, he could often get news from all directions. Of course,
I have also heard the story of Liu Ziqiu.
With such a legendary figure in front of him, Ma Yuangui was also at war with heaven and man in his heart. Nanyang is close to Henan County. If he sides with Liu Ziqiu, he will definitely offend Li Yuan. And Li Yuan's army is probably much stronger than Zhu Can. But if
He didn't have the guts to take down Liu Ziqiu, who was riding alone. He had seen the strength Liu Ziqiu showed just now with his own eyes. If there was even the slightest hint of unfavorable intentions for Liu Ziqiu in his eyes, I'm afraid he would be the first to die.
Liu Ziqiu seemed to have read through Ma Yuangui's thoughts and said with a smile: "Master Ma, Liu will not make things difficult for you. I only ask you to help Liu with two things."
Ma Yuangui frowned and said, "Strong man, please speak!"
Until now, Ma Yuangui still refused to admit Liu Ziqiu's identity as the general manager. Liu Ziqiu did not care about him. He pointed towards the city and said: "First thing, these people outside the city were all brought here by Zhu Can. They cannot be ordered to do so."
They died innocently. Please ask Governor Ma to allocate food to alleviate the temporary emergency. Governor Ma can rest assured that we don’t need too much food, as long as it can last them for one month."
There are mountains of food in Nanyang City, and although there are more than 100,000 rioters outside the city, they cannot stop Ma Yuangui. He hesitated for a moment and asked: "What will happen after one month?"
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said: "In one month, food will arrive from the south of the Yangtze River!"
Ma Yuangui nodded: "Okay! Ma followed the strong man on this matter. I wonder what the second thing the strong man said was?"
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said: "The second thing is that Liu needs to use the road to return to Chang'an. Liu doesn't need you to do anything, but you can't leak the news that Liu is here!"
In fact, this is the really difficult thing to do. Liu Ziqiu rode alone and bravely attacked Zhu Can's army of 100,000 people. Such shocking news would definitely spread like wildfire. Li Yuan's spies were indispensable in Nanyang City. If he wanted to keep the secret
How difficult it is.
Ma Yuangui's face was uncertain, and after a long while he said: "I can promise you this, but I can only guarantee it for two days. If you want to keep it a secret after two days, please forgive Ma for being unable to do so!"
Liu Ziqiu laughed loudly, pushed Zhu Can in front of Ma Yuangui, and said: "One day is enough! Thank you Master Ma for your help, I will give this gift to you! Liu will say goodbye, and we will see you later!"
After saying that, Liu Ziqiu jumped down from the top of the city and landed lightly on his horse. More than 100,000 people on and off the city watched Liu Ziqiu drive away one by one, but no sound was made for a long time.
From that day on, the legend of a black knight has been circulating in Nanyang and other places.
…
More than ten miles away, Gao Xiuer hugged Liu Sigen and looked anxiously in the direction of Nanyang. When the black horse appeared in her sight, she could no longer hold back and ran over with tears in her eyes.
Liu Ziqiu lovingly wiped away the woman's tears and comforted him: "Okay, okay, am I back safely? Look, there's not even a trace of blood on me. I listened to you and didn't dare to kill anyone.
,Aren’t you still happy?”
If he didn't want to save the lives of more than 100,000 people, Liu Ziqiu could have taken advantage of Nanyang City's destruction and Zhu Can's rebel army to loot the city, and quietly bypassed the alley. They had already arranged their retreat when they came.
Gao Xiuer buried her head deeply in Liu Ziqiu's chest: "Not only do I not want you to kill again, but I also want you to stop taking risks. Just for me and Sigen."
Liu Ziqiu chuckled and said: "I promise you that I will never take risks again. Come on, let's go home!"
Of course Gao Xiuer didn't believe Liu Ziqiu's words. She had been in contact with Liu Ziqiu for so long, so how could she not know that Liu Ziqiu was an adventurous person at heart. However, Liu Ziqiu could make such a statement, and she was still full of joy and whispered: "Husband, I still want to take risks."
I want to ride with you on the same horse."
Liu Ziqiu nodded: "Okay, let's go!"
The two of them took the lead, and Daleng led dozens of people to escort Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji closely behind them, gradually turning into a small road and hiding in the grass.
Gao Xiuer glanced at Liu Ziqiu's wrist inadvertently, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Husband, when did you start to believe in Buddhism?"
