Shopkeeper Ma thought about it and felt that what Liu Qi said was reasonable. He had lived in Xiangyang for decades, and he also didn't want to leave Xiangyang. He was just forced to have no choice before. Now with Liu Qi's guarantee, he felt that this was good. He said to the young man: "Young Master
He has been a life-saving gift to us, and he has a strong heart, so you might as well stay with the eldest son."
The young man couldn't make a choice at this time. He originally planned to go to Jiangdong, but he also had his own worries. As Liu Qi said, he was unfamiliar with the place after leaving Xiangyang, and survival might be more difficult than now. Sun Quan of Jiangdong was recruiting talents, but this was just
Rumor has it that Liu Biao is also famous for being a virtuous person, but he has not been seen to use wise men in high positions. It is hard to say whether Sun Quan is like Liu Biao. Besides, his father is too old to travel long distances and his body cannot bear it, and he does not want him to bear the pain of leaving his hometown.
Liu Qi's words undoubtedly gave him an opportunity, an opportunity to make contributions.
Liu Qi is Liu Biao's eldest son. If nothing unexpected happens, he will inherit Liu Biao's position in the future. If he stays with him, he is afraid that he will not have the chance to get ahead in the future. Moreover, Liu Qi has already seen his skills just now.
He believed that his martial arts skills were passable, and he also had a good impression of Liu Qi, who was not as domineering as those from ordinary aristocratic families.
Thinking of this, the young man no longer hesitated and knelt down on one knee: "See my lord."
Liu Qi was very happy when he saw that the young man agreed, and hurriedly helped the young man up: "Okay, okay, okay. From now on, you will be my guard commander. All the guards in the house are handed over to you, why don't you let me down." After that, he turned his head.
He looked at Shopkeeper Ma and said, "Shopkeeper Ma will also move to the mansion in the future, so that I can be taken care of."
"Thank you, Lord. Ma Zhong will be shattered to pieces without any hesitation." The young man said gratefully. The guard is to protect Liu Qi's safety, and the guard commander should protect Liu Qi every day. He is Liu Qi's close minister. He has held such an important position since he arrived.
His position shows Liu Qi's trust. Moreover, when his father is taken into Liu Qi's house, he doesn't have to worry about the revenge of Liu Cong and others. He also has more time with his father. After all, if he enters Liu Qi's house, he won't have much time to come back and see him.
Father.
"Thank you, eldest son, for causing trouble to the eldest son." Shopkeeper Ma said gratefully. Shopkeeper Ma was equally happy. How could he not be happy to see his son become successful? In the past few years, he has seen his son grow up and reach the age of starting a family and starting a business. But he himself
He was just a restaurant owner and couldn't give him much help. Although his son didn't say it, he could feel that his son was unhappy. Now that he saw his son happy, he became happy too. At the same time, he was even more grateful to Liu Qi.
"Okay, you guys can rest at home for two days. You can move to the house at any time. It's getting late and we should say goodbye." Liu Qi looked at the sky. It was almost noon. Uncle Zhang would be anxious if he didn't go back.
Liu Qi led Liu Pan and two others towards the mansion. Liu Qi was very happy to have recruited a talented person today. He and Liu Pan were talking and laughing along the way, and they were very happy.
"Help. Help..." A cry for help came from the front.
"Huh? Let's go and see what's going on?" Liu Qi, who was chatting happily, looked a little gloomy. He met Liu Cong when he came out today, and Zhang Yue was doing mischief there. Just after that, he met someone calling for help. This Xiangyang
The security in the city is so bad.
"I also want to see who is acting recklessly in Xiangyang City?" Liu Pan's face was also gloomy. In his memory, the security of Xiangyang City was very good. Even though he usually acted a little recklessly, he did not dare to go too far.
Now there is someone crazier than him, how can he not be angry.
"That's right." Liu Xiu also said.
The three of them said and already led the guards towards the shouting.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the place where the shouts came from. They saw a dozen men in black chasing a middle-aged man on the street. There was also a man in black standing next to him, watching silently and not intervening.
The middle-aged man has good skills, and his martial arts foundation is obviously stronger than that of the man in black, but the man in black clings to the middle-aged man as if he is proficient in the art of calculation, blocking the middle-aged man's escape route, forcing the middle-aged man to fight with them. Time.
It was obvious that the physical strength of the middle-aged man could not keep up, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage. It seemed that the situation was full of dangers, and the knife grazed the middle-aged man's scalp several times.
It was noon and there were many pedestrians on the road, so pedestrians were inevitably injured during the fights. The stalls on both sides of the road were also beaten to pieces by them.
Stall owners and passers-by were running and shouting for help, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
As soon as Liu Qi and others arrived at the scene, Chi Yu was in trouble. Liu Qi was almost hit by a knife that was kicked away by the middle-aged man, but fortunately he just missed him.
"Save people." Liu Qi was furious and immediately ordered his guards to come forward and save people.
Liu Pan led his guards into the battle, and the two sides were evenly matched in numbers, and it was hard to tell the difference for a while. Liu Pan was stopped by a man in black who was standing there.
"Why haven't the city guards come yet?" Liu Xiu saw the fierce fighting and said anxiously.
"City Guards?" Liu Qi muttered. Then Liu Qi remembered that the City Guards were the army in charge of the defense of Xiangyang City, and they also maintained the law and order in Xiangyang City.
The commander of the city guard was General Wang Wei. Wang Wei was quite prestigious in Xiangyang and even in Jingzhou. The only person who could compare with him in Jingzhou was Wenpin.
He and Wenpin were called the "Double Dragons" of Jingzhou and won Liu Biao's trust.
Wang Wei defended Xiangyang inside, and Wenpin guarded against the rebellion outside.
Wang Wei was famous for his bravery. The city guards he commanded were called the "Flying Tiger Army". They were as famous as Wenpin's "Flying Dragon Army" and were the most elite army in Xiangyang. They had always been directly ordered by Liu Biao. Cai Mao,
Kuai Yue and others tried to attract the attention of these two armies many times, but in the end they all ended in failure.
"Brother, be careful." While Liu Qi was meditating, Liu Xiu's shout woke up Liu Qi. When Liu Qi woke up from his meditation, he saw the besieged middle-aged man slashing towards Liu Qi with a knife. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived.
In front of Liu Qi.
Liu Qi was frightened and hurriedly hid to the side. He just managed to avoid the knife, but even so, he was scratched by the blade of the knife. Blood flowed out from the wound for a while, and his clothes were stained with a blood stain along the wound. Fortunately, the wound was not injured.
It was deep, just a scratch on the skin, but even so, it hurt so much that Liu Qi bared his teeth, grinned, and sucked in the cold air.
"How dare you, thief." Liu Pan turned his head when he heard Liu Xiu's shout, and happened to see Liu Qi in danger. He couldn't help but cursed. He finally understood that the black-clothed man he was fighting with was not weaker than him in martial arts, but he was not weaker than him in martial arts.
They took action to capture the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was not the target of their assassination at all. They assassinated Liu Qi.
They put on a good show on Liu Qi's way back home, attracting Liu Qi and Liu Pan and others to take action, luring them away from Liu Qi and creating an opportunity for the middle-aged man to assassinate Liu Qi.
Even if they were discovered by then, it would be too late to rescue him.
hateful!
What an insidious thief.
After Liu Pan figured it out, he cursed the man in black in his heart for being insidious. He was worried about Liu Qi's safety and wanted to go to rescue him, but the man in black in front of him kept pestering him so that he could not get out.
Damn it. Liu Pan thought. The strength in his hand could not help but increase a bit. He waved to the man in black's vital spot.
He understood that he could only go to his elder brother if he could deal with the man in black in front of him as soon as possible.
The middle-aged man was quite surprised when he saw that the knife did not hit Liu Qi, but at this time he could not think too much and hurriedly picked up the knife and chased after him.
Liu Qi hurriedly dodged the knife but before he could stand still, his vision blurred, and then there was severe pain in his chest. His whole body was kicked and hit the steps on the side of the road. He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a big knife heading towards him.
Does it look like your head is going to die?
He had lost the ability to move. He closed his eyes and stared at the blade getting closer and closer, waiting for death to come. However, he was extremely unwilling to do so. He suddenly hated himself for being so weak.
Only then did he realize that his little understanding of the Three Kingdoms would not be of much use. He still had to rely on strength to dominate the world. Without strength, everything would be like a mirror in the mirror.
But so what if you don't give in, it's too late now.
Liu Qi's consciousness gradually became blurred, and the world suddenly became quiet and became darker and darker.
"bite……"
It sounded in Liu Qi's consciousness like summer thunder, shaking his heart.
Liu Qi raised his heavy eyelids with difficulty. The sword was gone, and figures were shaking on the street, mixed with the sound of armors clashing. Liu Qi relaxed and finally fainted.
……………..
Close, close.
The middle-aged man looked at the big knife in his hand, gradually approaching Liu Qi's head, and felt extremely calm. This was not the first time he had done this, and he had killed heirs of famous families before. To him, these people were no different, they were all his fault.
It’s just a watch.
The broadsword was getting closer and closer, and he had already anticipated that the body would appear in a different place later, and blood would spurt out. He licked his lips, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, which was the desire for blood and the desire to kill.
The excitement in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help but speed up his hands a little bit.
"Ding..." The harsh sound of weapons clashing reached his ears. The violent impact knocked the sword off his hand.
The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the person with an angry expression. There was no concealment of the strong chill in his eyes, which made Liu Xiu, who was about to help Liu Qi, shudder.
Following the middle-aged man's gaze, he saw a group of soldiers dressed in silver and white rushing towards them. They were the famous 'Flying Tiger Army'.
The entire team of more than a hundred people marched quickly on the narrow streets, but there was no crowding at all. They formed an orderly formation while marching, and their silver-white armor shone in the sun. There were still some blood stains on the silver armor, which made it appear that
Extraordinarily charming.
It was as if they were charging on the battlefield, with traces of murderous aura emanating from their bodies, adding a sense of murder to the originally empty streets.
At the front of the team is a veteran about fifty years old. This veteran's face is full of majesty.
The gray beard and hair and a few traces of wrinkles or scars on his face could not hide the bravery in him at all.
He was Wang Wei, the commander of the "Flying Tiger Army". The string of the bow in his hand buzzed, indicating the power of the arrow just now.
At this time, Wang Wei's eyes were full of anger. Someone was actually playing tricks under his nose. Damn it!
