Without the isolation of Yubao, it was like an unprotected wedding night. Liu Qi and Huang Wudie were like fish in water and had a great night...
When they got up in the morning, Liu Qi and Huang Wudie greeted Mrs. Huang. As soon as they entered the door, they saw that Mrs. Huang ignored Liu Qi's presence, but first stared closely at Huang Wudie's face. The mother and daughter seemed to be communicating with their eyes. The result was
Mrs. Huang and Huang Wudie looked at each other and smiled.
Liu Qi somewhat understood the meaning of the mother and daughter's smiles, pretended not to know, and bowed respectfully to Mrs. Huang: "Master, I'm new to Xinye. I wonder if I can get used to it if I slept well last night?"
Mrs. Huang smiled and said: "Compared to Xiangyang, it is much more practical here with children by my side. I have a hard time to worry about."
Liu Qi looked around but didn't see Huang Xu, and asked, "Why don't you see your junior brother?"
Mrs. Huang's face showed distress, and her tone was full of motherly love: "I don't know where Xu'er got such energy. He went to bed late, got up early, danced the sword and drew the bow in the yard early in the morning, and then told me:
I want to run around the city early and come back later, so Xuer must be familiar with the environment of Xinye as soon as possible."
Liu Qi complimented: "Junior brother wants to lead the army. A young man must have a lot of drive. He is the material to be a general." After that, he looked at Huang Wudie and said: "My young disciple is usually busy with official duties. If there is any problem in the future,
Please excuse me for my lack of care. If you need anything, just ask me. Die'er must take good care of my mother."
Huang Wudie held Mrs. Huang's arm and said happily, "That's natural. Mom has settled down in Xinye. After a few days, I will go to Xiangyang to pick up my father and live with her."
Liu Qi said: "It's great to have a family reunion."
However, Mrs. Huang sighed slightly and said: "The old man has a stubborn temper. If he doesn't breathe the same tone as in the fight with Cai Zhonglang in Xiangyang City, I'm afraid he won't leave Xiangyang for half a step."
Huang Wudie snorted: "What Cai Zhonglang? He is just a son of a wealthy family and an unreasonable barbarian. Sooner or later, we will make him look good."
Mrs. Huang glared at Huang Wudie and said angrily: "Die'er, don't talk nonsense in front of the young master."
"Yes." Huang Wudie pouted, lowered her head, and leaned against Mrs. Huang. She was dissatisfied in her heart, but she acted like a good girl in front of her mother.
Liu Qi didn't want to hear the mother and daughter arguing about right and wrong in front of them, and he didn't want to comment on Cai Hao in front of them, so he told him that he and Huang Wudie were going to Yizhou today to ask the sword god Pu Yuan to come out of the mountain, and why he couldn't accompany him.
My wife went shopping and expressed deep regret.
Mrs. Huang was very surprised and worried: "Yizhou is so big and the road is difficult and dangerous. I heard that there is a war and chaos there. Can you not go, sir?"
Of course Liu Qi knew that Yizhou was very big, and that the Shu Road, which was difficult to climb to the sky, was within Yizhou. Pu Yuan, the sword god, should be in Jinguan City, which is where Chengdu, Sichuan was. The Shu Road was difficult, but at this moment Liu Qi was eager to ask him out.
Sword God Pu Yuan doesn't want to delay for a moment, no matter how difficult it is, he will go there. If Liu Bei invites Pu Yuan away a step too late, it will be too late.
Seeing that Liu Qi was silent, Huang Wudie said to Mrs. Huang: "Mother, the young master is actually anxious to go to Yizhou so that my brother can train a team of five hundred magic archers."
Mrs. Huang looked at Liu Qi opposite, and then at Huang Wudie beside her, and asked in confusion: "Die'er, what do you mean by this? What does it have to do with Xu'er whether we are going to Yizhou or not?"
Huang Wudie recalled what Liu Qi said and replied: "I don't know, my senior brother Pu Yuan is a famous blacksmith in Yizhou. My sworn brother Jiang Sima has sent people to Dangyang to transport bamboo for arrows. Bamboo arrows
No one in Xinye can make the iron tip with a pipe, so I would like to ask Senior Brother Pu to come to Xinye to help me."
Mrs. Huang said, "I dare to fall in love because of the bamboo arrow, so that's how it is." Parents all have partialities. As long as it is a good thing that can benefit their children, they will most likely agree with it, so she started nagging Liu Qi and Huang Wu.
Die should be careful on the way to Yizhou, prepare more clothes, dry food, and take more guards.
Liu Qi left Huang Wudie and her mother to chat with each other, and told Huang Wudie to pack some spare clothes for the trip. Then he said goodbye and went straight to the county council hall, and asked the guard general Chen Dong to inform Jiang Wan.
Zhao Yun, Chen Wen, Chen Wu, Deng Zhi, Wen Dai, Zhang Ermazi, Li Da, Ding Si and others gathered in the meeting hall.
Shao Qing, Jiang Wan, Zhao Yun and other confidants hurried to the meeting hall. The generals sat down, and Liu Qi got straight to the point. He planned to set up an archery team of 500 people, with the marksman Huang Xu as the captain, and he wanted to go to Yizhou Jin with Huang Wudie.
The official city has invited the sword god Pu Yuan to discuss with the generals.
Everyone looked at each other in shock, feeling that something had happened suddenly, and discussed it one after another. They felt that it was okay to set up 500 archers with Huang Xu as the captain. However, when the Xiangyang messenger was about to arrive in Xinye in the next two days, Liu Qi chose this time to go on a long trip.
But it’s inappropriate.
After discussing for a while, Zhao Yun, Chen Wu, and Wen Dai immediately expressed their stance that everything would be at the mercy of the young master.
Zhang Ermazi, Li Da, Ding Si and others also agreed and had no objections.
Deng Zhi, Chen Wen and Jiang Wan all had the same opinion and suggested that the young master Liu Qi should not leave Xinye at the critical moment when he had to go to Xiangyang to report on his duties in the near future. Otherwise, he might offend the governor Liu Biao and the general Cai Mao, and things would become more complicated.
Already.
Chen Wen, looking at each other with Deng Zhi and Deng, still introduced Jiang Wan to persuade the young master to give up the trip to Yizhou.
Jiang Wan looked troubled and said: "Master, we have just discussed that it would be a good idea for Master Huang to be the archery captain. However, if the Master goes to Yizhou today and misses the report of work in Xiangyang, I am afraid that the lord will be displeased, and Cai Zhonglang will take advantage of it."
Chances bring trouble, and there are three fears that an earthquake will come. Xinye cannot be left without an owner for a day. I think it is not too late for the young master to go to Yizhou on a certain day after reporting his duties in Xiangyang. I ask the young master to think twice."
Liu Qi had made up his mind to go to Chengdu to invite the Sword God Pu Yuan, and naturally he would not change it easily. He said: "Brother Wan's words are not unreasonable. I have learned that the Sword God Pu Yuan is in Jinguan City. It is a rare opportunity. Pu Yuan is a private citizen."
Wise men, if you ask for it like a bird, you must know that the God of Swords will not wait for us in Jinguan City. Once you miss the opportunity, someone else will get there first, and you will regret it too late. Brother Wan, is it true or not?"
Jiang Wan was speechless and silently agreed.
Liu Qi added: "I took office in Xinye one year ago. Thanks to the support of all my beloved generals, the country has gone from dilapidated and desolate to prosperous and prosperous today. It has grown from two hundred soldiers to a strong army of ten thousand, and from being hungry to being well-fed and clothed."
, it can be said that our troops are well-prepared, and we can use them heroically when the time comes. However, I don’t know if you have noticed that our army’s weapons are backward and insufficient. If there is a sword god to help improve the weapons, the combat effectiveness will be ten times and a hundred times better.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must sharpen his tools, right?"
When Liu Qi spoke out, all the generals nodded, convinced.
Jiang Wan basically accepted Liu Qi's decision to go to Yizhou today to look for the sword god, but he was still worried: "What the master said is absolutely true. If weapons are improved and combat effectiveness is improved, one can be invincible and make the enemy fearful. Naturally.
There will be a lot less killings. Inviting the sword god Pu Yuan is really an urgent matter. However, how can we evade the matter of reporting work in Xiangyang? This matter cannot be underestimated."
Seeing that he had convinced Jiang Wan, Liu Qi felt a little happy and said: "I have already made an opinion on this matter. I have called you all together today to postpone the county's trip to Xiangyang to report for a while. I will discuss it later after I ask Pu Yuan to return to Xinye."
."
Deng Zhi couldn't help it and said: "Sir, I'm afraid the messenger will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so how can I send him away?"
Liu Qi felt a little funny in his heart, thinking that instead of making suggestions for me, you counselors kept asking questions to stump me?
However, Liu Qi knew that Jiang Wan, Deng Zhi and others did not have any malicious intentions, but asked such seemingly tricky questions out of concern. Presumably these loyal ancient counselors had never prepared to reject the messenger and disobey their lord.
Prepare.
"Yes, that's a good question, Brother Bo Miao. When the messenger arrives, can you please make up your mind on how to deal with it?" Liu Qi looked around the generals and asked calmly.
Chen Wu shouted: "This is not easy. We will detain the messenger and wait until the young master returns to Xinye before returning to Xiangyang with the messenger to report on his duties."
Liu Qi looked at Chen Wu with admiration and said: "General Wu has a way, but this method seems a little disrespectful to the lord. Do you have any other tricks?"
Deng Zhi twitched his beard and said: "It is not appropriate to detain the lord's messenger. I think we can treat the messenger kindly and use a reason to tell him that he has traveled far away. Then General Wen or Jiang Sima will return to Xiangyang with the messenger to report to the lord on his behalf."
I will go to Xiangyang to report on my work when the young master comes back in ten days."
Liu Qi nodded slightly, shook his head slightly, and said: "This method is reasonable and my lord can understand it. I'm afraid Cai Mao doesn't believe it and will say that I am guilty of dereliction of duty and dare not go to Xiangyang. Is there any safe way?"
Zhang Ermazi spoke up, raised his right hand, raised the palm of the knife, and made a vicious gesture of wiping his neck across his neck. He said in a rough voice: "Master, just click the messenger and pretend that you don't know how to report your duties."
Isn’t that enough?”
Liu Qi was shocked. Zhang Ermazi, who was a gangster in Guandong, had different ideas from ordinary people, so it was a good idea. However, Liu Qi could not show his appreciation for this method of "killing people and silencing them", otherwise his subordinates would imitate him.
, the negative impact cannot be underestimated.
"Is there any other way?" Liu Qi neither agreed nor objected to Zhang Ermazi's decision to kill the messenger. Instead, he finally looked at Jiang Wan and Chen Wen.
Jiang Wan shook his head slightly and turned his gaze to Chen Wen.
Finally, Chen Wen stood up, twirled his beard, which had grown several inches, and said: "Sir, although what you said is not entirely reasonable, it still makes sense. From this, I have a perfect plan, but I don't know how to do it."
no?"
When Liu Qi saw Chen Wen getting up, he was overjoyed. This loyal and brave guard in the prince's mansion, who was wiser than Kong Ming and Zhuge Liang, was now Liu Qi's sworn second brother, a division commander-level general in charge of all armies, and Sima Chen Wen of the Ministry of War.
Chen Wen, who has followed the young master Liu Qi through life and death many times, is already graceful and graceful, and must have clever plans and strategies.
"Brother Wen, come quickly." Liu Qi said with a hint of excitement in his tone.
Chen Wen straightened his chest and raised his head, his words were clear and his words were full of energy, and he said: "There is no surefire way to do it. This method is simple and easy. You can just pretend to be a robber and rob the messenger."
When Chen Wenyu came out, everyone was in an uproar. Chen Wen was so courageous. It is immoral to pretend to be a robber, but to rob the messenger is even more treasonous! How can this be called a foolproof strategy? It is a trick to deceive people.
