It was confirmed that the little maid Huan'er, who looked like a little fairy, was actually a natural dwarf. Liu Qi suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball. He felt an indescribable disappointment. He stepped under the pillar and became paralyzed like a snake, unable to arouse interest.
.
"I, my brain was hit. I can't remember many things." Liu Qi closed his eyes. It was difficult to face Huan'er whether he should be called elder sister or younger sister. It seemed that he would have to pretend to be crazy and stupid in the future.
Breaking it is really a good excuse.
"Oh, then, young master, have a good rest. I'll go get you a basin of hot water to wash yourself off." Huan'er's childlike voice was the first happy female voice that Liu Qi heard when he came to the Three Kingdoms. He definitely heard it wrong, Huan'er
It is impossible to be twenty-four years old. Could it be that Huan'er said it wrong, or that age in ancient times was called differently than today's size?
For example, in ancient times, one foot was equal to ten inches, but now the international unit of length is kilometers, and one meter is equal to three feet; in the Han Dynasty, one stone was equal to 2 buckets (Shi, pronounced dan, stone that is not a stone), and one bucket was equal to 13.5 kilograms, but now
The international unit of weight is the kilogram, and one pound is equal to 500 grams. There are too many to mention, so there must be a corresponding calculation for age.
"Huan'er, wait a minute, do you know how old I am, young master?" Suddenly inspired, Liu Qi asked reluctantly.
"How come the young master doesn't know his age?" Huan'er felt that Liu Qi's question was puzzling.
"Just say, I, I, didn't I have a broken brain? I haven't woken up yet." Liu Qi smiled. It seems that this excuse is too powerful. In the future, he can use this excuse to excuse himself when he says or does something wrong.
Blame, "my brain was broken" is really a universal excuse. It turns out that God has treated Liu Qi well.
"Young master is only twenty-eight years old." Huan'er's voice was still gentle and sweet.
Understand, Liu Qi is seventeen years old this year. Erbagua0 means two eight years old plus one more year old. According to this calculation, Huan'er is twenty-four years old, which is eight years old. Liu Qi's estimate is correct. Before time travel,
Gao Qiang has always been very accurate in looking at women. He can accurately tell a woman's actual age through three inches of fat and ten pieces of clothing.
As for why self-reported age in ancient times should be calculated by halving and multiplying by two, Liu Qi has no idea. If you have a computer around you, you can download it on Baidu. However, during the Three Kingdoms period, there were such advanced high technologies as today's computers, mobile phones, and video communications.
?
After confirming Huan'er's age, Liu Qi was only eight or nine years older than Huan'er, which was not too big. It was okay for Huan'er to call Liu Qi his eldest brother.
"Huan'er, I'm hungry. You can secretly get me some food." Liu Qi's nervous heart gradually relaxed. He had just vomited due to swallowing rat poison, and his stomach was already empty. It would be strange not to be hungry.
Liu Qi originally wanted to ask a few more questions about the little maid Huan'er's life experience, but he gave up the idea when he saw Huan'er's clear and bright eyes. If he asked about Huan'er's sadness, it would be inappropriate to make such a young girl cry.
What a wonderful thing.
"Young master, you can eat in your own house in a generous manner, why do you need to be secretive?" Huan'er is young and simple, so he can say whatever he thinks.
"Huan'er just do as you are told, didn't I tell you? I still need to stay in bed for ten and a half days, so no one else needs to know."
"Can't the butler also know?"
"The housekeeper can do it. Especially that Cai Shen, don't let him know, do you understand?" Liu Qi was afraid that Huan'er was weak and had little determination, so he warned Huan'er again.
"Yeah, I understand." Huan'er said he understood, but in fact he still seemed to understand.
"By the way, that Uncle Cai, why do you call him Cai Shen?" When it comes to Cai Shen, this is what Liu Qi is confused about. He only knows that Cai Mao is also known as Degui, and there is no other explanation for history.
"Hehe." Huan'er pursed her lips and chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" Liu Qi made a face, feeling a little uncomfortable because Huan'er laughed. This little maid obviously meant to make fun of her.
When Huan'er saw Liu Qi's funny look, she laughed until her stomach ached and even burst into tears: "Sir, you really broke your head. You were the one who said that Cai Shen, have you forgotten? You said Cai Mao has an unshaven beard."
, with a face filled with resentment and a fierce look, he called out to God Cai."
"Oh, look at my memory." Liu Qi pretended and patted his forehead. Unexpectedly, Liu Qi was as afraid of Cai Hao as he was of gods and ghosts, so he secretly showed off his ability.
"Go." Liu Qi waved his hand towards Huan'er, spread his hands on the bed, closed his eyes and rested, thinking about what kind of person the Liu Qi was in the past. He had nothing to do with the Liu Qi after time travel. From then on.
From now on, Liu Qi, who was reborn in the Three Kingdoms, must rise up and be strategic, and will never be a lamb to be slaughtered.
A voice of self-questioning sounded in Liu Qi's ears: Who am I? I am me! Who are you? I am still me!
Huan'er saw Liu Qi closing his eyes and meditating. He was afraid that the young master Liu Qi was hungry, so he picked up the copper basin and walked out of the bedroom.
In the courtyard outside the bedroom, there were four female corpses standing straight in a row, all covered with white cloth, waiting for the carriage to transport the corpses to be dragged out of the city for burial. The blood stains on the bluestone in the courtyard had also been washed away. Liu Biao's guards were on guard outside the house.
Mother Chen and several maids have gone back to the lower room to go about their business.
Liu Biao demanded that the news of the young master Liu Qi being poisoned by a maid and Liu Zhongjian's murder of four maids be strictly sealed and any leaks leaked be executed.
Liu Biao had a very tough attitude on blocking the news. This was actually a smart move. If something like this happened in the eldest son's house, if the news got out, it would 100% be hyped up and exploited by some political opponents, which would give Liu Biao his prestige.
Cause huge damage.
Apart from the four female corpses, only Liu Biao and Liu Zhong were left in the huge courtyard.
Liu Biao paced anxiously in the courtyard, while Liu Zhong stood on the side of the courtyard with his sword in an unusually calm manner without saying a word.
When Liu Biao was pacing and feeling upset, he saw Huan'er coming with a copper basin. He immediately rushed forward and asked eagerly: "Huan'er, are you awake?"
"Sir, the young master vomited a blood clot in a daze, complained of thirst, and fell asleep again. I will go and get a glass of warm water." Huan'er responded cleverly. He did not say that Liu Qi complained of hunger, but that he complained of thirst, and also used the word "drowsy".
, he must have understood Liu Qi’s intention.
"Oh, let me go take a look." Liu Biao glanced at the copper basin held by Huan'er, and he found a small piece of thick phlegm-like blood clot with blood stains. Being able to vomit a blood clot proves that Liu Qi is still alive, otherwise he would faint.
How can a dying person find the strength to vomit blood?
Liu Biao rushed into the room, and Liu Zhong followed. Liu Qi was still lying on his stomach as before, with his face buried in the satin quilt and his expression could not be seen, but his breathing was still steady.
"Qi'er, Qi'er, are you awake?" Liu Biao couldn't help but burst into tears again. He knelt down and touched Liu Qi's hand to tell her story again. He suddenly felt that Liu Qi's hand was different from when he touched it before. It was no longer cold.
But with the temperature of a normal person, I felt pleasantly surprised.
Liu Biao was also an educated man with some medical skills. At this time, his son's body temperature was normal and his breathing was even. With the evidence of a stable pulse previously diagnosed by the imperial physician, and seeing with his own eyes the poison with blood clots in the copper basin, he concluded that his son would be lucky.
Turn into good fortune.
Seeing that his son Liu Qi was sleeping peacefully, Liu Biao stood up and greeted Liu Zhong. He waved his hand to indicate that they should stop talking, so as not to wake up the weak Liu Qi. Liu Biao and Liu Zhong moved outside.
The two of them came outside the bedroom. It was almost noon. The early autumn sunshine was not harsh, but it made the person a little lazy. However, Liu Biao's mood was not calm, and he stared at Liu Zhong with a cold, almost murderous look.
, pointed to the four maids who had been covered with white cloth, and said in a gloomy voice: "Steward, tell me the truth, these people were indeed killed by you, not by the young master?"
"It's absolutely true." Liu Zhong was a little frightened by Liu Biao's murderous eyes. He calmed down a little and calmed down. Liu Zhong, who had already made up his mind to kill four maids, so what?
I am afraid that Liu Biao will become murderous.
However, Liu Zhong doesn't want to die now. He knows that Liu Qi would rather risk swallowing poison to save himself. This love will never be repaid. Besides, judging from Liu Qi's behavior today, his nephew Liu Qi will definitely
Liu Zhong is not a cowardly and incompetent person, but he still has to obey his cousin Chen's last wish to assist Liu Qi in making a weapon.
In Liu Zhong's heart-protecting suit, a top-secret will from his cousin is always with him. The critical moment is when he helps Liu Qi become a child. Liu Zhong has been waiting for this day for a long time for Liu Qi to truly grow up.
"Well, you dare to do something." Liu Biao has always admired Liu Zhong. His sharp eyes softened, but he turned to a tone that was almost consultative and asked: "You said that the maid dared to poison the young master?
Even if I don’t believe it, will others believe it?”
The other person Liu Biao mentioned was naturally Cai Mao, but he couldn't name him to avoid suspicion. Even though no one could hear him except a few dead people in the yard, Liu Biao still had some affection for Cai Mao when he was talking to Liu Zhong.
"Lord, the facts are the facts and will not change based on what other people say. I don't care whether others believe it or not. Anyway, I believe it." Liu Zhong and Liu Biao played Tai Chi and looked at the white cloth covering the corpse. Fortunately, no one was left alive. There is no evidence of death.
.
"Okay, let's not mention that matter. As the saying goes, family scandals should not be publicized. What will happen if this matter spreads?" Anyway, Liu Zhong killed the maid. Liu Biao thought about the aftermath and left it to Liu Zhong to deal with it yourself.
.
Liu Biao glanced sideways at Liu Zhong, looked up at the blue sky, and suddenly felt panic. Is looking at the sky in the courtyard of the courtyard consistent with "sitting in a well and looking at the sky"? Am I falling behind? Is it because I have stopped moving forward? Is it because of my vision?
Not ambitious enough?
"Sit in a well and watch the sky", no, no, no, as the lord of Jingzhou, I, Liu Biao, can keep the people safe and avoid the disaster of war, which is considered a meritorious deed. If like Cao Cao, he overestimates his ability and breaks away from Yuan Shao, he will inevitably develop his own forces through military aggression and suffer.
Still the common people in the world.
In today's troubled times, ten princes attacked Dong Zhuo, but they fell apart again within half a year. What does this mean? It shows that this is the way the world is. There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests.
Everyone knows that I, Liu Biao, have no great ambitions. Have you forgotten that I also managed the army in Xiangyang to observe the changes of the times? Have you forgotten that I rode alone from Yicheng to Xiangyang with a piece of imperial edict, and in just half a year I powerfully pacified the Jiangnan clan?
A thief thing?
Liu Biao became superstitious. He was shocked by the panic in his heart about "sitting in a well and looking at the sky". His mind was a little confused. He thought that although the courtyard with the patio was warm in winter and cool in summer, it was actually quite unlucky. This greatly affected Liu Biao's mood of enjoying the seven counties of Jingxiang.
How could the dignified governor "sit in a well and look at the sky" in the courtyard?
Liu Biao quickly ordered Liu Zhong, with a hint of panic in his words, and said seriously: "Steward, the maid died in this courtyard, and there will be a bloody disaster. After Mr. Hua Tuo comes, this courtyard will be demolished tomorrow. You and the young master will temporarily stay with the governor.
