"Aji, are you afraid those Qin people will arrest you?"
On the haystack, the two of them looked up at the roof, watching spiders busy building webs in the dust.
Liu Ji said "hmm".
Lu Wan straightened up and lifted up her sleeves, revealing a long sword scar on her arm.
He whispered: "Just because you kicked Zhang Er and got out of the car? But the Wei knight who came to kill you last time has nothing to do with this Qin army, right?"
Liu Ji reached out and touched the scar on Lu Wan's arm, his eyes a little dazed.
That happened a few months ago. At that time, someone spread the news, and everyone in Fengpei knew about Liu Ji's kicking Zhang's ears in order to survive.
At that time, the public sentiment was fierce, and many hot-blooded young people threatened to kill Liu Ji, a treacherous person. Even Chen Xi, his newly recruited younger brother in Wei, also wanted to turn against him.
However, Liu Ji finally relied on his intelligence to successfully get rid of the "stigma" by proving his innocence through death. He even persuaded Wang Ling and other rangers to personally testify for his character, and this matter gradually subsided.
After all, it was just a "rumor". Without any basis or evidence, it was not as good as the words of heroes such as Wang Ling.
Just when Liu Ji thought the matter was settled, several uninvited guests came to Fengyi in the name of his old friends from Wei.
At that time, Liu Ji was playing on the edge of the river with Lu Wan, Chen Xi and several young knights. He heard that old friends were visiting, and they were from Wei.
Liu Ji immediately became suspicious, and he and Lu Wan and others took swords to greet him.
Sure enough, as soon as they met, Liu Ji found that he didn't know these people at all. The rangers even asked who Liu Ji was.
Liu Ji pointed at Lu Wan.
The rangers were immediately furious, shouting "Liu Ji kicked his benefactor, he is a traitor" and started to kill Lu Wan.
Fortunately, Liu Ji was well prepared. He pointed at Lu Wan just to confuse the enemy.
Liu Ji took the opportunity to fight the enemy with his younger brothers. After a fierce battle, all the Wei rangers were killed, and two of Liu Ji's younger brothers also died.
In addition to Liu Ji himself, Lu Wan, Chen Xi and others also suffered sword wounds. The sword scar on Lu Wan's arm was left at that time.
Regarding the origins of these people, Liu Ji made some guesses. He once heard one of the rangers say before he died, "I feel sorry for the entrustment of Chen Jun." He guessed that Chen Jun was Zhang Er's friend Chen Yu. These people were all
It was sent by Chen Yu.
However, naturally we should not talk nonsense about this kind of thing. According to Liu Ji's explanation to everyone afterwards, these rangers were confused by rumors that came from unknown sources and slandered him. This was a big misunderstanding.
Chen Xi and others had been persuaded by Liu Ji's act of committing suicide to prove himself before. Although they still had some doubts in their hearts, they finally chose to believe Liu Ji. Only Lu Wan, who had grown up with Liu Ji since childhood, knew this man's character well.
, after questioning, I finally learned the truth.
Lu Wan and Liu Ji were born in the same year, same month and same day. They grew up loving each other. Although they were not real brothers, they were closer than real brothers. Therefore, he did not blame Liu Ji. Instead, he comforted Liu Ji by saying that what he did at that time was right.
If he hadn't kicked Zhang Er out of the car, Liu Ji would have become the soul of the Qin army, and Lu Wan would have lost a good brother.
Liu Ji was deeply moved by Lu Wan's words, and the relationship between the brothers became deeper and deeper.
At this time, Lu Wan saw that Liu Ji was worried about the Qin army, and couldn't help but comforted him: "From what I heard, this Qin army should be the army when Qin attacked Chu. Somehow, it came all the way from Qiyi to Fuli.
Coming here should have nothing to do with the affairs of Wei. Don't be frightened by this. On the contrary, I am afraid that the Qin army will massacre Fengyi and kill my father and fellow villagers. The Qin army is famous for its brutality."
Hearing this, Liu Ji also became a little worried.
After all, his father, brothers, and even the bride Liu Jigang married were all in the city. Once the Qin people became ferocious and massacred his father and the Liu family, Liu Jike would be left alone, and how could he not feel pain in his heart.
But when Liu Ji thought about what happened in Waihuang City in the past, he didn't have the courage to go back again.
He comforted Lu Wan and said: "I have dealt with the Qin people before, and I know that although they are called tiger and wolf warriors and are famous for their bloodlust, in fact they only kill enemies who resist them, and they will not kill civilians who do not resist indiscriminately.
Yes, didn't you see that when the Qin army occupied Shanfu, none of the Wei people in Shanfu were killed? On the contrary, people came and went around in Fengfei from time to time, which is not much different from the days of Wei in the past."
Lu Wan nodded. Liu Ji was telling the truth. Fengyi and Shanfu were approaching. He also heard from Shanfu who came here that the Qin army did not kill the old, weak, women and children. Thinking of this, he felt a lot more at ease.
"Let's get some sleep first. Since everyone has escaped, don't think too much about it. Let's go back after the Qin army leaves at dawn tomorrow."
"Um."
They both lay down and closed their eyes to fall asleep.
The night was dark, and there was a cold wind blowing outside the house from time to time, and a bit of cool air blew in through the gaps in the wooden house.
Lu Wan followed Liu Ji to welcome the bride early in the morning, running around and arranging various matters. She was already quite tired. At this moment, she relaxed and lay down, and soon fell asleep, snoring lightly.
Liu Ji could not sleep.
Qin Army.
He actually knew that the sudden arrival of the Qin army had nothing to do with the foreign affairs. Why would people pay special attention to a little ranger like him?
But Liu Ji was afraid. Ever since he knew that Zhang Er, who he kicked out of the car, had his head chopped off by the Qin people, he became afraid of the Qin army. If he was caught, his head would be lost!
A smart person will not stand under a dangerous wall and put himself in danger.
"No matter what, at least Nai Gong's actions are not life-threatening. Father, brother, and Na Lu Pheasant will be fine in the future. When I go back tomorrow, Nai Gong can find an excuse to get over."
Liu Ji muttered, but he really couldn't sleep, so he couldn't help but stand up and wanted to relax by the cold wind outside the house.
But before he opened the door, he remembered that Lu Wan was already asleep. To avoid catching cold, Liu Ji simply took off the Xuanduan wedding dress he was wearing and put it on Lu Wan. Then he opened the door gently and walked in.
In the night.
There is a cool breeze, which makes people feel a little chilly.
Liu Ji was worried again, so he simply drew his sword and danced. Firstly, he moved his body to get rid of the cold. Secondly, he put his mind on the sword dance to disperse his worries.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, he had just danced a few sword flowers when he heard a voice coming from the road not far away. Liu Ji was so excited that he had no time to think too much.
He jumped into the reeds at the edge of the river and hid his body.
Under the starry night sky, a group of people came with torches.
The first one was a Qin general wearing armor and holding a sword, followed by twenty or thirty fully armed Qin soldiers. Among them was a young man in Confucian uniform who was being led away with his head on his head. It was Liu Ji's younger brother Liu Jiao.
.
"Well, you little Liu family man, you took us for a walk in the middle of the night. We searched seven or eight places, but we didn't see Liu Ji. Are you trying to trick Naigong? Naigong tells you, if we can't find him here again, then we can't find him.
Liu Ji, I’ll chop off your little brat’s head!”
The Qin general in charge was cursing, sometimes in Qin language and sometimes in jerky Chu language. While yelling, he slashed at the reeds on the roadside with his sword. The sharp sword tip poked Liu Jiao several times.
Liu Jiao was so frightened that he cried loudly and shouted: "I'm not lying to you, those places are all places where Liu Ji often goes... and this house by the water, he also comes here often. If there is no place here,
Then I really don’t know, really, I didn’t lie to you!”
"Humph, I believe you again. If Liu Ji is not found, Nai Gong will give you a set of water torture first, and then chop your head off." General Qin said cursingly.
Liu Jiao didn't know what waterboarding was, but when he heard that he was going to be beheaded, he felt very scared and couldn't help but cry softly.
"Liu Jiao is such a bastard, he dared to betray Nai Gong. This piece of shit, Nai Gong will have to beat you to death when he comes back."
In the reeds in the distance, Liu Ji gritted his teeth with hatred.
But then, he saw General Qin leading his troops forward and heading towards a fisherman's hut in the night.
Liu Ji's expression changed drastically, but Lu Wan was still sleeping inside!
Instinctively, he wanted to rush over and shout to lure away the Qin people and provide cover for his brothers. But looking at the bright weapons in the hands of the Qin people, Liu Ji bowed down again.
These Qin soldiers had crossbows in their hands.
It would be tragic if he failed to seduce him and was shot down with a crossbow.
"The people of Qin are looking for Naigong, not Lu Wan. Even if he is caught, it should be nothing."
Liu Ji comforted himself.
There were shouting and fighting sounds from the fishermen's hut.
Lu Wan, who had just woken up from his sleep, opened his eyes and saw a group of armored Qin people breaking open the door and rushing in. He was so frightened that he jumped up and hurriedly looked for a sword to defend himself, but before he could find the weapon, he was
Qin Jiang, who was at the head, kicked him to the ground.
"Liu Ji, Nai Gong has caught you!"
Black Hips laughed loudly. When he saw the person in front of him wearing a Xuanduan dress and the iconic beard, he didn't hesitate in his mind. This person was none other than Liu Ji.
"I'm not Liu Ji!"
Lu Wan yelled and struggled to get up, but was immediately held down by the Qin soldiers who came in and tied tightly with ropes.
"Hahaha, you are right if you say you are not Liu Ji. Only a fool would admit it. If you say you are Liu Ji, then I am afraid that you are fake. Since you deny it, it must be you."
Black Buttocks laughed triumphantly, feeling proud of his quick wit.
He turned and walked out of the door, and asked the soldiers to escort "Liu Ji" who was full of denials. He walked up to Liu Jiao and asked, "Xiao Shuzi, is this person Liu Ji?"
Liu Jiao was stunned, because the sky was too dark and the light of the torch was flickering. The first thing he saw was the Xuanduan robes in the hands of the Qin soldiers and the beards of the captured people, and he nodded instinctively.
"Liu Jiao, I am Lu Wan! Look clearly!"
Lu Wan shouted quickly.
Liu Jiao blinked and saw clearly now, and quickly shouted: "He is not Liu Ji, he is Lu Wan."
Black Butt sneered.
"First he nodded, then he shook his head. And you still conspired to confess that it was Lu Wan? Bah, do you think you are just fools?"
"Let's go, take it back to the military camp. When Nai Gong captures Liu Ji and presents it to the military commander, the military commander will definitely praise me, hehehe."
Hei Butt smiled proudly and led the men to escort "Liu Ji" and turned towards the direction of the Qin army's camp.
Only Liu Jiao stood there with a dazed expression on his face.
Now that the real owner has been caught, Black Butt has no time to pay attention to this little brat. After all, the military commander has said that he will not kill innocent people, and Black Butt is still very obedient.
Among the reeds, Liu Ji stood there blankly.
Watching those Qin people walking further and further away, one could faintly hear the howling "I am not Liu Ji" from the sound of the wind.
Liu Ji knew that his premonition of danger was right.
The Qin army that came to Fengyi was indeed here to capture him.
He, Liu Ji, escaped disaster again.
Just, this time.
Liu Ji lost his best brother.
"Lu Wan..."
Liu Ji murmured, tears running down his cheeks, along his beautiful beard, and falling into the soil...
I almost missed the story about Chen Yu's killers, so I'll make up for it.
