Liu Yu helped Xiao Wenshou out of the gate of the Governor's Mansion. Diao Qiu and the soldiers in the mansion were standing aside. The battle outside the mansion had long ended. The ground was covered with corpses of Diao clan members wearing leather armor.
There were not many Liu Yi killers in black clothes. Even Diao Qiu had a few paint marks on his body. He was currently dressing his wounds with the help of the medical officer. When he saw Liu Yu striding out, Diao Qiu's
A look of surprise flashed across his face, and he was about to speak, but Diao Kui behind him said in a deep voice: "No one is allowed to mention what happened tonight. Anyone who dares to reveal even a single word will be killed!"
Liu Yu ignored Diao Kui behind him. He walked out directly from the side door on the west side. A sealed carriage that had been prepared long ago was guarding here. The person holding the handlebar was an ordinary-looking man in his thirties, Liu Laozhi.
Seeing him, he nodded: "According to the Lord's command, I will send this lady and others to Qili Village."
Liu Yu curled his lips and said, "Mom, please go home with your two brothers first. The children still have some things to deal with. I'll send you my regards later."
Xiao Wenshou nodded: "Go early and come back early, pay attention to safety." She said, taking Liu Daolian and Liu Daogui into the carriage, the whip rang, the bell rang, and the carriage quickly disappeared into the night.
middle.
Liu Yu turned around and clasped his fists at one of Liu Lao: "Zhang Liu, thank you very much for your generous help this time. I will see you in the army in the future."
Liu Laozhi said expressionlessly: "When you join the army, you must follow the rules of the army. Maybe you will be under my subordinates by then. I will not show mercy. By then, you will see a complete
I’m different, so let’s live with it.”
He said, turned around and walked away. And those ghostly men in black also left with him, as if nothing had happened.
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly, and he walked towards the west city. He walked through the black streets and alleys. Jingkou was where he had lived for twenty years. He was very interested in every plant and tree that came in.
He was familiar with the area, turned east and went around a dozen alleys, and after confirming that no one was following him, he crossed the city wall, passed through several woods to the east, then turned south, and finally arrived at Pinglu Village.
On a small hill three miles away, this was where he agreed to meet Tan Pingzhi, Liu Yi and others.
It was past the fourth watch, and the night wind was blowing slowly at the long weeds. Liu Yu stopped and smelled a mixture of sweat and blood, which was somewhat similar to the smell on his body. He
After imitating the toad's cry three times, a dozen black shadows rose up from the grass on one side like ghosts. Aren't they Liu Yi, Tan Pingzhi, Yongzhi and Meng Chang?
Tan Ping had a look of surprise on his face and patted Liu Yu on the shoulder with a smile: "I knew you were a lucky person and would be fine. When I saw someone appear and block you in the middle, I almost died of panic. I
I wanted to save you at all costs, but Brother Wei recognized that it was Liu Linzong and said that nothing would happen to you. But we know people and faces but don’t know hearts. When we are here, we are waiting for you. If you don’t come back, we will discuss how to save you.
Go back and save others."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Thank you all brothers for your help. This life-long friendship will never be forgotten by Liu Yu." As he said this, he bowed deeply to everyone's waist. This was already the most important etiquette besides kowtow.
.
Liu Yi curled his lips: "This time we were discovered by a secret whistle when we sneaked in. We started fighting in advance and almost missed your mission. A group of mysterious men in black came from behind. They are all very skilled. We
We almost got trapped in it, but this time we suffered a big loss. Not only did we not get the Diao family's treasure, but we also lost several brothers."
A trace of apology flashed across Liu Yu's face: "Xile, I'm sorry, I owe you all the money. If I become rich in the future, I will definitely return it."
Liu Yi shook his head: "This kind of business of robbing families and homes involves losses and gains. Gambling with one's life may not bring good results. Everyone in this field knows that. Fortunately, he fell into the hands of the enemy without being injured this time.
It’s a blessing.”
Meng Chang said calmly: "Those brothers of yours are really ruthless people. They will kill themselves after hurting those who cannot move. They would rather die than betray their friends. Liu Zheng, where did you find these desperadoes?"
Liu Yi smiled "hehe": "My job allows me to make many useful friends. That's all. Their families are supported by me, so I will never betray my companions even to death. Don't worry,
Now they have left, and many of them do not know each other. Liu Yu, what did you say to that Liu Linzong? How could they leave so easily? "
Liu Yu said seriously: "Liu Linzong is none other than the governor of Yanzhou who came out of Guangling to control the military affairs of the five states, and the general of the army, Xie Xuan."
Everyone's expressions changed greatly, and Tan Pingzhi lost his voice and said: "What, he is actually Xie Xuan?!"
Meng Chang murmured: "That's it. No wonder Liu Daxia can get away so easily. Only Xie Xuan can control the situation. Even Diao Kui doesn't dare to seek revenge from us anymore."
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, General Xie and Diao Kui have a deal. In fact, Diao Kui attacked me this time. He took the initiative to violate the deal. Xie Xuan, whether in black or white, has a way to destroy the Diao family, so Diao Kui
Now I don’t dare to trouble me anymore. As for brothers, what happened tonight will always be etched in my heart and I won’t reveal a word to anyone else.”
Liu Yi nodded: "Very good, but why would Xie Xuan rescue you? Liu Yu, what kind of deal can you have with Xie Xuan?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "The deal is that I am going to join the army. How about it, everyone, starting from tomorrow, General Xie will send out a message to the five states to recruit all the people with lofty ideals to join the army to serve the country and conduct the Northern Expedition against the Huru. Everyone.
Are you interested in coming with me?"
Wei Yongzhi's hare lips moved and he said without thinking: "What's the point of this? Let's go together!"
Tan Pingzhi laughed: "I didn't enjoy the killing tonight enough, but if I have the opportunity to kill Hulu, I won't miss it. Count me in."
Meng Chang's lips curled up, and he said calmly: "Liu Yu, are you joining the army as a scholar, starting directly as an officer, or as a soldier? Do you want to know clearly?"
Liu Yu curled his lips: "This time we are recruiting soldiers, regardless of their origins, only brave men. They all start from small soldiers. Those who are capable will naturally be promoted through meritorious service. How about it, Brother Meng, will you go?"
Meng Chang remained calm and looked at Liu Yi, who was silent on the side: "Xile, are you going?"
Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "Although I didn't show my true face today, Brother Diao Kui will definitely take his anger out on me after being shocked. When the time comes, I will be driven by this dog official, and my life will be worse than death. Okay, then I
I also joined the army, Liu Yu. We have been fighting in Jingkou for these years, and we will continue to fight in the army."
