"Hahaha, God helps me." Liu Qi laughed wildly amidst the strong wind and thunderstorm. What he wanted was this result. God is not as good as man. If God helps any man to be prosperous, it will be a lucky star.
"I am so happy that my son is so blessed." Although the sky was as dark as a piece of ink, Liu Qi's ecstatic expression could still be seen with the help of bursts of lightning, and Chen Wen also congratulated him happily.
Chen Wen thought that if it hadn't been for a timely rain, the housekeeper and a dozen guards would have been buried in a mass graveyard, and they might have been caught by Cai Mao's soldiers and lit the sky lanterns. At this time, Liu Qi was happy and angry.
Appreciation and love for the guards under your command are expressed in form and color.
The rain came just in time. Liu Qi also thought of the historical records that Zhuge Liang burned Sima Yi in Shangfang Valley. It was inevitable that he would be doomed. A good observer of the sky can borrow the southeast wind from the sky, and can also measure the wind, rain and weather.
However, Zhuge Liang never expected that there would be unforeseen circumstances. A timely heavy rain extinguished the fire in the Shangfang Valley. Sima Yi narrowly escaped death, but Zhuge Liang failed to recover from the fall and eventually died in Wuzhangyuan, as if all this was fate.
Zhuge Liang thought of Cai Mao, and now a timely heavy rain has solved the disaster of Liu Qi's housekeeper and seventeen loyal guards. Does this mean that Cai Mao has done many evil things and God is angry with him? I think Liu Qi is a national hero personally awarded by the Chairman of China.
, If God doesn’t help a hero like Liu Qi, why should he help a traitor like Cai Mao? If so, it would be unreasonable.
God is fair, and there is a popular saying in the West that makes sense: When God closes all your doors, he will always open a window for you. This meaning is the same as the ancient wisdom of China. However, China
The Chinese language is more concise, just six words: There is no perfect way for man!
"Chen Tong and Chen Yin, collect the supplies on the ground and go to the west city gate to inform E Huan first, open the city gate and welcome the steward back to the city." Liu Qi ordered.
"Yes." Chen Tong responded loudly. He quickly gathered the snakeskin bag on the ground, all the scattered ignition supplies, the huge horn, etc., put them all into a large sack, and opened the mouth of the bag.
Lock, throw it on the horse's back, mount the horse and start walking. Chen Tie is already riding fast in front of Chen Tong to lead the way.
The sudden rainstorm was still so heavy that people could not open their eyes. After a while, the steward led seventeen elite guards to Liu Qi. Through the light of lightning, he could see the blood flowing on the steward and the guards.
, the sword in his hand was still dripping with blood. I am afraid that the steward’s sword killed an unknown number of sergeants in this battle.
When the housekeeper saw Liu Qi, tears filled his eyes. Liu Qi cared about the corporal regardless of his life. This is the virtue of a king. The housekeeper was excited and his tone was full of care: "Young Master, why don't you sleep at night? If you make the young master tired, you will be punished.
Kill the old slave."
After Liu Zhong finished speaking, he was about to dismount from his horse and salute, but Liu Qi stepped forward to support him: "The housekeeper is tired and won't say much. Please hurry back to the city."
After Liu Qi finished speaking, he jumped on his horse, whipped his whip and ran towards the west gate where E Huan was stationed. Liu Zhong and the guards also followed Liu Qi at full gallop.
When Liu Qi, housekeeper Liu Zhong and others rushed to the west city gate, the suspension bridge on the moat had been leveled and the city gate was opened. E Huan, a tall man, was holding a square halberd, and Chen Tong, who was also round and thick, was holding a long halberd.
A long machete stood outside the city gate. E Huan and Chen Tong stood on both sides of the city gate. Next to them were gatekeepers with torches burning, waiting for Liu Qi and others to enter the city.
Liu Qi stepped onto the suspension bridge, and saw E Huan and Chen Tong standing majestically like the stone lions in the main gate hall. They looked so majestic.
"Young Master, Young Master!" E Huan and Chen Tong shouted in unison when Liu Qi rode into the city, and Liu Qi and his men dismounted at the gate of the city.
After E Huan greeted Liu Qi first, when he saw Liu Zhong who was covered in blood and looking like he was carrying a burden on his horse, he knelt down with a plop and burst into tears: "My father-in-law is fighting, why don't you call E Huan? I will always
I want to repay the kindness of saving my life. I just neglected my benefactor, I am really ashamed."
Liu Zhong stepped forward to help him, his voice was a little hoarse: "General E, you don't have to be like this. Chen Wenluo told me on the way just now. If you don't know, don't blame me. You can obey the order of the young master to protect the west city, which can be regarded as a meritorious service. The young master is magnanimous. You
If you have courage and strength, you will have a bright future if you meet the master."
"Young Master, because of these words from my benefactor, Huan is going to kill him and swear to serve you to the death. My lord, please be summoned to bow." E Huan did not let Liu Zhong help him up. Instead, he turned his knees and knelt down to Liu Qi.
Extremely pious, he knelt down and bowed his head. With this bow, E Huan regarded the young master as his father and mother, and made up his mind to hand over his 200 kilogram body to Liu Qi from now on.
Hunters in the mountains do not read many books and have limited knowledge. However, there are not many people who know the basics and rituals like E Huan. What E Huan believes in is that even nine cows and eight horses cannot pull him back. Liu Qi does not mind being ugly.
How could Huan not trust him with his life?
"Lord? General E, please don't call me that. You should still call me Young Master. If that day comes, you will never forget your great achievements today." Liu Qi was shocked. Can this Lord call him that? After becoming a prince,
Or the princess of a state may still deserve her title. He is the eldest son of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou. It's okay to call him eldest son, but calling him lord would be suspected of usurping power. Obviously calling him lord is too early. Liu Qi has this point.
There is still a sense of political acumen.
When Liu Qi helped E Huan up, he glanced at the entourage and gave him a fist. He said that one day when he becomes the lord, he will not forget the great achievements of everyone today. This is for the guards to hear.
, The implication is that I, Liu Qi, am a person who values friendship and justice, a person who values kindness and power equally, and a person with political ambitions.
"This...Okay, Young Master, I will immediately pack my bags and accompany the Young Master and my benefactor back home." E Huanzhuan became unhappy. He was also anxious just now, but he did it sincerely. In E Huan's heart, Liu Qi is more worthy of being the master.
, and Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, was nothing. If his savior Liu Zhong had not insisted on retaining him, E Huan would have gone to the ends of the earth as a knight-errant with a halberd.
"General E, don't be anxious. Today's incident happened unexpectedly, and it will take some time to calm down. Please rest assured, sir, in the west city. When I have a good place to go, I will arrange to come and pick up General E to go with me." Liu Qi helped E Huan up and said
It's full of sincerity and care.
"I obey." E Huan determined that as long as it was Liu Qi's words, he would listen to them without any discounts, hopes or complaints.
"Okay, go back home." Liu Qi said a deep farewell to E Huan, and looked down at E Huan reluctantly. Liu Qi's attitude towards E Huan was not just a show, but it was better than a show, but in any case, he did inspire a kind of benevolence and righteousness comparable to that of the heroic Liu Bei.
shocking effect.
This is an obvious fact. Even Liu Biao, who was in charge of the seven counties of Jingxiang, and Cai Mao, who belonged to a prominent family in Jingxiang, looked down upon E Huan because of his ugly appearance. However, Liu Qi was tolerant and courteous. This matter spread later.
Why don't famous people in the world join in? This is a matter of vision and mind. Liu Qi played a sinister way to recruit talents.
In the Three Kingdoms, there are many people who are not good-looking but possess extraordinary talents. One of the famous people in the world is Pang Tong. His appearance is not much better than that of E Huan. His fierce leopard eyes and thick beard make him look like a reckless man at first glance. He is also not very good-looking.
, but the eight-foot-long snake spear danced so well that he pointed his spear horizontally on the Changpo Bridge and shouted, "I am Zhang Yide, come and fight to the death together!" This means that Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide from Yan are here, who is it?
If you have the guts, come here and die! Zhang Fei had such a strong tone and showed no fear. He actually stopped drinking and drove back millions of Cao Cao's troops, becoming a legend among legends.
Holding a halberd and standing at the city gate, he watched Liu Qi, Liu Zhong and others return home. The tragic sight of the blood flowing on the bodies of his benefactor Liu Zhong and his guards just now made E Huan burst into tears. The young master Liu Qi cared for his soldiers regardless of their own safety.
If you treat yourself with such courtesy and don't think about repaying it in the future, you will be in vain.
E Huan thought that he would join the young master Liu Qi in the military expedition in a short time, and his heart was boiling. He thought that in order to better repay the kindness of his benefactor Liu Zhong and the young master Liu Qi in the future, he should practice his ability to chase tigers during these waiting days.
The legs and feet of a leopard, the arms that can lift a five-hundred-jin Yamen flag, the crossbow that can pierce a poplar tree with a hundred steps, and the square halberd that can smash a thick tree at the wrist.
E Huan thought about it and couldn't help shouting "Wow...", he picked up the square halberd in his hand and started practicing wildly in the storm.
…
Liu Qi led the housekeeper Liu Zhong and seventeen guards back to the house quietly. The blood on the armors of Liu Zhong and others was washed away by the heavy rain. When they returned to Prince Liu Qi's house, there was no sign of a bloody battle. Liu Qi also
I can imagine that the fighting in the cemetery would be washed away by the sudden heavy rain without leaving any trace.
As for how far the corpses were burned, I will have to ask Liu Zhong later.
After Liu Qi entered the palace, he dismounted, took off his armor, put the weapons and supplies into the warehouse, and had someone clean and dry them. Liu Qi asked Liu Zhong and Chen Wen to come to his dormitory and living room later to discuss matters for tomorrow urgently, and asked the guards to take a rest early.
What happened tonight will always be rotten in his stomach, even if it is over. After taking off his armor, Liu Qi wanted to go around under the eaves outside the patio and enter the bedroom. At this time, the rainstorm seemed to be lighter, but the big raindrops hit the sulfur tiles,
It still feels a little scary to be in the huge patio late at night.
As soon as he stepped into the patio, Liu Qi saw at a glance that the lights were still on in the bedroom, the door was ajar, and two figures could be vaguely seen shaking through the paper window lattice. What on earth is going on? Could it be that?
Was it because the young man was blinded by his misunderstanding, or was it that the ghosts of the four maids Mei Lan, Zhu and Ju who died in the courtyard entered the house so quickly?
Although Liu Qi does not believe in ghosts, superstition is prevalent in the Three Kingdoms. There is a strong atmosphere of superstition and belief in demons and monsters. The Yellow Turban Army used the slogan of "The sky is dead, the Yellow Turban will be established. If you are born in Jiazi, the world will be prosperous", they took advantage of the common people.
Ignorant and superstitious ideas have arisen.
However, it was clear that there were two shadows swaying in the room. To say that they were ghosts, they had to be four maids. Could it be that the ghost of the maids who had burned their whole bodies left two to guard the cemetery and sent two more to the cemetery?
Is the Young Master’s Mansion asking for life?
What happened to the shadows shaking in the room? Could it be that if you travel to the Three Kingdoms, you can really see ghosts? The more Liu Qi thought about it, the more panic he felt in his heart. He couldn't help but slow down, in line with the evolutionary thought of survival of the fittest.
, I thought to myself that I would rather believe that it exists than believe that it does not exist.
