Although Liu Qi and Huang Wudie were not married to each other, that is, there was no so-called "status", in fact, Huang Wudie was already living with Liu Qi at the County Magistrate's Inn in Xinye, and she was already a quasi-wife in the eyes of the soldiers in Xinye.
.
Huang Wudie is also a young girl. Thinking about the scene when she and her son Liu Qi went to Changshan to visit Zhao Yun three or four months ago and lived in the same room, how could Huang Wudie not feel excited?!
Several times, Huang Wudie gently walked to the door of the camp, but in the end she did not go to Liu Qi's single camp, because Huang Wudie learned from the sleeping Huan'er that the young master had used five fish bubbles last night, and her love for the young master filled her heart.
When we reach the top of the mountain, we must not let the young master's energy be wasted on the love between men and women. The young master has more important things to do when he takes everyone through the Shu Road at such a great risk. The young master cannot be exhausted because of his own selfishness...
The next morning, everyone had a peaceful sleep. The night attack by bandits that Liu Qi was worried about did not happen. The Shu Road was full of weirdness and danger, except for some poisonous snakes and birds of prey.
It was completely deserted, and since there were no people, there were naturally no thieves or bandits.
In fact, Liu Qi could also choose not to take the Shu Road, but he would have to go around many states and counties. It would take at least a month or two to go from Xinye in Jingzhou to Chengdu in Yizhou and go around the Shu Road. He couldn't afford the time, and Liu Qi would have to wait.
After inviting the sword god Pu Yuan to return to Xiangyang to report on his duties, he had no choice but to choose the Shu road.
After resting for the night after passing Jiange, Liu Qi ordered everyone to hide tents, hemp ropes, pots and stoves and other camping supplies on the spot. They only brought a small amount of dry food and went into battle lightly. After passing the exit in front of them, they led to Jinguan City in Chengdu.
Now, there will be inns and homes nearby. As long as you have money, you don’t have to worry about food and lodging.
Considering the chaos of the war, Liu Qi ordered the soldiers to take off their helmets, carry them in uniform bags, wear armor underneath, and wear loose Chinese clothes to cover the armor. A group of 20 people disguised themselves as merchants and walked calmly to Jinguan City.
.
Easily climb over the hill in front of you, and you will find a broad road that leads directly to Jinguan City. You can see villages and cooking smoke along the way. There are also carriages and horses walking on the road, and sometimes officers and soldiers and cavalry roar by. The scenes you see on the road are many.
It was the people in shabby clothes who entered the city, and the people in Yizhou also lived a very miserable life.
Liu Qi would generously give out a few five-baht coins as usual when meeting beggars. This time Liu Qi brought a lot of small money, and he would give as much as he could.
Because Liu Qi is good-looking, elegant, dressed like a young man, and generous, he can get the truth out of people when he asks questions. However, ordinary people cannot tell. In the eyes of experts, although Liu Qi wears ordinary clothes in his profession
The uniformed soldiers had a murderous aura hidden in them.
However, as long as you have money and have no ill intentions towards others, it is easy to inquire about things. When asked about the God of Swords, almost everyone knows about it and everyone gives a thumbs up, saying that it is just northwest of Jinguan City.
In a small village twenty miles away, there is a blacksmith shop. The blacksmith is called Blacksmith Pu. He has made many plowshares, sickles, axes and other farm tools for the people. The ironware made by Blacksmith Pu is durable, cheap and affordable, and the family is in trouble.
It's also given away free of charge.
After sending away the passers-by, everyone felt relaxed. The hard work along the way had not been in vain. Liu Qi was especially pleased that Pu Yuan, the sword god, was still among the people. It was a blessing that he was not invited away by the officials, especially since he could find Pu Yuan without entering the city.
Yuan, this is also a good thing, otherwise how could a group of people enter Jinguan City?
Everyone was chatting and walking toward the northwest. Liu Qi approached Huang Wudie and complimented him: "Die'er, your senior brother Pu is indeed of high moral character. You don't charge for blacksmithing. How can ordinary people do that?"
The circles under Huang Wudie's eyes were a little dark. It was obvious that she had not slept well last night, but this detail was ignored by Liu Qi. The girl was slightly unhappy, but she was still touched by Liu Qi's concern and smiled: "You, Mr. Liu,
You pay a lot of money for five baht, and you don't ask for anything in return. The eldest son has a higher moral character."
Liu Qi smiled and said: "Die'er hurt me, don't you feel sorry for those five bahts? People don't have food to eat. Those few small coins can save people's lives. If Die'er has no food one day,
Not to mention a lot of five baht, I can guarantee to God that all the Jinshan Bank in Xinye County will be open to Die'er."
"Haha, you are so glib. Young Master, you are making me happy. I will ignore you." Huang Wudie pouted, turned her head away, took up her arms and walked side by side, pretending to ignore Liu Qi on her face, but actually she was happy in her heart.
Flowers.
While they were joking, the sound of iron hoofs suddenly came from behind, and someone shouted, "Get out of the way, get out of the way." Liu Qi and others stopped and looked back, only to see a bodyguard riding more than thirty people rushing towards Liu Qi majestically.
"Alert." Chen Wen put his hand on his sword and sounded a warning. Chen Chun, Chen Xia and other generals maintained their stance of attacking at any time.
"Don't panic, everyone. Get to the side of the road and don't move around." Liu Qi came here to look for the sword god Pu Yuan, not to cause trouble. He came all the way from a long way and came from the deserted Shu Road. No one knew about Liu Qi.
He was the county magistrate of Xinye, and it felt like the cavalry rushing past him was not directed towards Liu Qi.
Chen Wen naturally understood Liu Qi's intention, nodded, and held Chen Wu down with his hand. Chen Wu had a bad temper and almost drew his sword. Isn't it obvious that he wanted to go against others.
However, in addition to Huang Xu and Huan'er, Liu Qi and his group have been on the battlefield and seen blood. The thirty or so escorts and cavalry are not in Liu Qi's eyes. People like Liu Qi can kill people instantly.
What about the desperate general-level super guards?
The horse's hooves rushed forward, carrying the flag with the word "Ren". It came at once. The leader, a tall man with a beard, reined in the horse's head and stopped in front of Liu Qi and the others. He did not look at Liu Qi and the guards, but looked at them with his eyes.
The pretty and handsome Huang Wudie and Huan'er.
Liu Qi had told them in advance that he did not want to cause trouble, so everyone just held down their swords. Chen Wuyuan stared and pressed his swords with both hands. If the man on horseback made even the slightest disrespect towards the two girls, blood would be splattered.
"This girl is so handsome." A stout man who was immediately dragging a machete looked at Huang Wudie with fascination.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The bearded man looked at the twenty people in front of him, suddenly waved his riding whip, shouted "go", and clapped his horse away. It seemed that Liu Qi and his group were not on his mind.
"Let's go..." More than thirty cavalrymen galloped towards the main road without stopping.
Chen Wu looked at the smoke and dust raised by the horse's hooves, clenched his fists, and said sternly: "You can tell he is not a good person at first glance, don't let me run into him next time."
"Forget it, General Wu, we are here to invite the sword god." Liu Qi stood up, implying that it is better to do less than to do more.
With no danger at all, Liu Qi and his entourage continued to walk towards the blacksmith shop of Pu Yuan, the sword god, more than 20 miles outside Jinguan City.
The journey of more than 20 miles was not far, and it would take an hour to walk. I rested for a while at a small inn along the way, and after having a meal, I walked straight to the village where Pu Yuan lived.
When they were approaching a small village, they asked someone where Blacksmith Pu was in the blacksmith shop. However, the villagers hesitated, looked flustered, and told with great trepidation that Blacksmith Pu had been arrested in the blacksmith shop next to the big banyan tree at the west entrance of the village.
, Liu Qi was shocked, something happened to Pu Yuan.
Chen Wen frowned and said, "Lord, I'm afraid those soldiers and bandits just robbed the Sword God."
Huang Wudie was anxious: "What should we do now? Master, you must save senior brother."
Liu Qi said calmly: "Don't worry Dieer, as long as I am here, no one can take away Senior Brother Pu."
Chen Wu was also anxious. He let out a cry, drew out his sword, and shouted: "My lord, kill those soldiers and bandits."
"Okay." Liu Qi said hello without any hesitation. Although Chengdu is not his own territory compared to Xinye, he led everyone through the hardships to cross the Shu Road in order to invite the sword god Pu Yuan away.
If something happened to Pu Yuan at that time, wouldn't it mean that all the previous efforts would be wasted?
Seeing Liu Qidun's murderous intention, Chen Wen quickly advised him: "My lord, the situation is unclear. I don't know if there are still soldiers and horses in the village. They broke into the village without permission. If we are blocked, we have no way out."
Chen Wu disagreed: "Brother Wen, what are you afraid of? The thief has more than thirty good horses. If we kill the thief, we can still ride back to Nanyang."
Chen Wen was about to defend himself, but Liu Qi had already made a decision: "Second brother is worrying too much. What General Wu said is reasonable. Let's go to the blacksmith shop first and act accordingly."
"Lord, it's not too late for me and Brother Wu to investigate the situation first before entering the village." Chen Wen suggested for safety reasons.
"No need, everyone is ready for battle. General Chun Xia will protect Miss Huang and Huan'er. Junior brother hides his bow behind and acts based on my eyes. He will wait for the opportunity to take the head of the thief. If there is resistance, he will be killed without mercy." Pu, the Sword God, said.
Yuan's role was so important that Liu Qi was anxious and could not tolerate harm from others, so he issued an order.
"Yes." Everyone responded loudly. They had killed the enemy more than once with Young Master Liu Qi, and this time they were going to do it for real.
Guard general Chen Qiu quickly distributed the helmets in the bag to everyone. Huang Wudie already had the pear blossom needle in his hand, Huan'er also pulled out his sword, and the bronze-armored guard's strange weapon was unsheathed, and there was no need to check the terrain anymore.
When the enemy became aware of the situation, Liu Qi drew out the Goujian sword. Dan saw a flash of cold light in broad daylight and waved the sword: "Brothers, save the sword god."
"Kill." Chen Wu was impatient and already impatient. When he heard Liu Qi's order, he immediately took the iron drill in his hand and took the brunt of it. He shouted "kill" and rushed to the west entrance of the village.
Several bronze-armored guards quickly rushed past Chen Wu. Huang Wudie and Huan'er had nothing to fear. Since they had followed the young master, they were destined to be killed everywhere.
Huang Wudie ran and asked, "Sister, are you afraid?"
Huan'er held a sword in one hand and a first-aid kit in the other. Her face was flushed, and she followed Huang Wudie and replied: "As long as my sister is here, Huan'er is not afraid."
Huang Wudie looked at Young Master Liu Qi who was rushing in front with Chen Wu, and laughed loudly: "Don't lie to me. My sister is not afraid because Young Master is here."
After getting to the point, Huan'er said coquettishly: "Sister..."
Huan'er, who had never been on the battlefield, looked at Liu Qi who was rushing forward with the guards. He didn't know how many soldiers and horses were waiting in the blacksmith shop. Huan'er was still particularly worried for his son Liu Qi.
