"The mother has worked hard, and the child is young and ignorant, and has been let down a lot, and she feels guilty." Liu Qi's answer to Liu Zhong was a bit ambiguous. Whether Mrs. Chen's painstaking efforts are understood or not, regarding the mother-son relationship between Mrs. Chen and Liu Qi, Gao Qiang, who was reborn in the Three Kingdoms,
But he had never met Mrs. Chen, and it was impossible to say how deep his feelings were. How could Liu Zhong know that Liu Qi was the master of time travel?
"Well, it's good that the young master knows. From now on, you have to pay more attention to your external affairs." Liu Zhong warned again.
"My cousin Jin Yan, my nephew will take it to heart." Of course Liu Qi understood that the external affairs Liu Zhong was referring to were nothing more than paying more attention to current affairs and world affairs.
"Sir, since we have reached the secret passage, do you want to inspect the camp outside the city?" Chen Wen, who had been silent all the time, reminded Liu Zhong during the conversation with Liu Qi's uncle and nephew.
"It's already late today, so there's no need to inspect the camp. The housekeeper will arrange for the ice corpse first." Liu Qi resumed his attitude of saying goodbye to the young master, looked around in the secret passage, and estimated the time to return. It was really not appropriate to inspect the camp at this time.
"Yes." Liu Zhong promised, and then led Liu Qi and Chen Wen up the sloping steps, past the zombie guards beside the copper gate, and the three of them walked out of the six doors and hurriedly arranged for the Wenjiazhuang mob to freeze the corpse.
When they arrived at the courtyard of the Gongzi Mansion, the guards arranged by Liu Zhong had brought a cart of large ice blocks, together with more than twenty mob corpses in sacks, and transported them to the six-door cellar for ice storage according to Liu Qi's idea.
The next day, Liu Qi got up early, called the housekeeper, and walked through the six doors with Chen Wen again. When they went down to the secret passage, Liu Zhong took out a carriage from the side door of the passage. There was a secret passage patrol guard who had already brought horses and was waiting.
, the three of them got on the carriage and drove down the dark road. The tunnel was winding and twisting. Along the way, except for the green oil lamps that were lit every few dozen meters, and the occasional patrol guards passing by in twos and threes, in the dark tunnel
, just like a space-time tunnel, there is no concept of time at all.
Liu Qi and the other three drove the carriage for an unknown amount of time. When they arrived at the other side of the passage, they heard the faint sound of a huge waterfall. When Liu Zhong ordered his guards to open the cave door, they abandoned the carriage and walked out again. Suddenly, the scenery in front of them was clear.
In a valley, there is a powerful three-character stone carving "Shuilian Cave".
What a water curtain cave, with a waterfall hanging hundreds of meters in front. The cliffs around the waterfall are rugged. There is a huge flat valley in the middle. There are several camps, large and small, with a few wisps of smoke. From a distance, there is a fruit forest in the valley. The sun is shining in the sky, and the birds are blooming on the branches.
Shangqi is really full of fruits, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the air is filled with fragrance. What kind of military camp is this? It is simply a paradise.
Looking at the three characters of Water Curtain Cave, they seemed to be floating in the mist. When Liu Qi saw this scene, it was like a dream. Could it be that the legendary Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain was the lair of Monkey King, the Monkey King?
It's very strange. Liu Qi's imagined fabrication fell into the Longshan Valley, was saved by an immortal, and deceived Huang Zhong about curing Huang Xu's epilepsy. It turned out to be true. Lies came true, dreams came true, and the strange things that traveled through the Three Kingdoms were really strange.
Liu Qi was wondering when, along with the loud noise of the waterfall, there was a faint sound of killing and killing drills in the distant woods. Liu Qi asked doubtfully: "Steward, are there training ahead?"
"Exactly." Liu Zhong replied, and ordered the soldiers beside him to prepare their horses. After a while, the soldiers led three strong horses, and Liu Qi and the three of them galloped towards the sound of the drill with their whips raised.
After walking for about a kilometer, they turned around a forest and found an open area. There were already two school fields, but they had different training methods. On one side were the two hundred soldiers dispatched by Liu Biao whom Liu Qi had seen, and the guards of the mansion, Chen Jin and Chen Yin.
Chen Tong and Chen Tie are supervising the drill; on the other side may be the one hundred soldiers hiding in the valley outside the secret passage that Liu Zhong pointed out, but they seem to be fighting freely without anyone commanding them.
Some of Liu Biao's two hundred soldiers were walking square steps, and some were practicing fighting with wooden knives and spears, with a somewhat showy posture. However, the one hundred soldiers harbored by Liu Zhong were practicing with real swords and spears, and they were all brave.
Occasionally, one or two people lose the prize, but they still fight hard regardless of the blood flow.
They are both soldiers, but their training methods are very different. Liu Qi was puzzled and asked: "Steward, why are you using wooden swords and spears on one side and real swords and spears on the other?"
Liu Zhong looked at the soldiers practicing in the two schools and said disapprovingly: "The one hundred soldiers in the valley are homeless people I selected from the refugees. I have brainwashed them. Their only purpose in living is to eat and drink well."
, it would be the greatest honor in life to be able to die in battle for the master one day; and the master’s two hundred personal soldiers are just dispatched and not clearly attributed to the master, I really don’t dare to train too much for fear of injury, and I dare not offend the master.”
"Oh, that's it." Liu Qi understood what Liu Zhong meant. This was to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Liu Zhong was worried that the two hundred soldiers would be transferred by Liu Biao sooner or later, so he did not dare to train hard. Just kidding, Liu Zhong underestimated me, Liu Qi.
How can there be any reason to take back the two hundred soldiers Liu Biao sent?
Another idea came to Liu Qi's mind. There is no need to keep all the two hundred soldiers in the big lang. Those who are not afraid of death can stay in the valley to wait for the world to change. So he lowered his face and asked: "Steward, two hundred
Do the soldiers know the hidden secret?"
"I don't know." Liu Zhong responded.
"Oh, I remember the housekeeper clearly said that the soldiers were transported to the valley through a secret passage. How come the soldiers don't know about the secret passage?"
"Sir, the soldiers are indeed transported outside the city through the secret passage, but they all wear black silk blindfolds before entering the secret passage. They are not removed until they are transported outside the city. Except for the twenty dead soldiers and twenty patrols in the secret passage, you, me and Chen Wen, the rest of the people
I don’t know until now.”
"Oh, the butler has selected a hundred mountain soldiers and has never seen the secret passage?"
"Yes."
"Except Chen Wen, the other loyal and brave guards in the mansion have never seen the secret passage?"
"Yes."
"I saw that Chen Jin, Chen Yin and the four guards are also in the valley. Don't they know about it too?"
"Yes, there is no need for other people to know about the secret passage. The twenty Tongmen Dead Soldiers and the twenty secret passage patrols have been isolated from the world since they entered the secret passage. Except for your late mother and the three of us, no one else knows about it.
, Those who know will die!" After Liu Zhong answered several questions from Liu Qi in succession, his eyes showed a fierce light.
Liu Qi nodded. Liu Zhong did a good job in keeping secrets. This secret passage is a secret. The more the idlers know, the faster they will die. But they don't know whether Liu Biaoxiao doesn't know. Thinking of this, Liu Qi asked again: "Steward, my father
Do you know about this?"
"I don't know." Liu Zhong answered affirmatively.
"Oh, I'm afraid the secret channel will be exposed." Liu Qi said lightly.
Liu Zhong was shocked when he heard this. He took a few steps back and looked at Liu Qi with his mouth wide open. He didn't know how to speak. He had hidden the secret passage for many years and killed several people who knew the secret passage. Liu Qi actually said something to expose it.
, it would be strange if Liu Zhong was not shocked.
"Sir, why?" Chen Wen was also surprised, but he quickly calmed down and looked at Liu Qi calmly and asked.
"Two hundred soldiers returned to the Young Master's Mansion and disappeared in an instant. They were humans, not birds, so where could they fly to? The steward killed the four maids with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums given to them by General Cai Hao, and then killed four city gates in a row.
The guards also caused many casualties to General Cai's garrison stationed outside the city in a mass graveyard. How can General Cai swallow this tone of voice? I predict that General Cai will send people to monitor the movements of my son's house all day long, and the movements of the two hundred soldiers.
It’s not a big deal, I’m afraid that the disappearance of the soldiers has been reported to General Cai long ago.”
"Oh, as you said, I was careless. I only thought about arranging personal soldiers to reduce other people's attention. I didn't expect to reveal the secret." Liu Zhong's face changed drastically. He knew that once the secret of the secret channel was leaked, the private soldiers would be punished.
To commit the crime of destroying the nine clans, Cai Mao would use some pretext to mobilize troops to surround the young master's mansion, and his many years of hard work would surely be undone.
"This, this, what should I do?" Liu Zhong scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously. As the saying goes, a wise man will make a mistake after thinking a lot, and it is true.
Although Liu Qi was in a state of anxiety, seeing that Liu Zhong was going crazy with anxiety, he still used a very modern saying to comfort Liu Zhong: "Butler, don't be impatient. There are always more solutions than difficulties."
Chen Wen frowned, knowing that the matter was important. Chen Wen had already had a premonition of the potential role of the secret passage, but the time had not come yet. No matter what the cost, he must protect the secret of the secret passage from being leaked.
Seeing Chen Wen frowning and thinking hard, Liu Qi asked calmly: "Chen Wen, do you have any good ideas?"
When Chen Wen saw Liu Qi staring at him with hopeful eyes, Chen Wen felt anxious. He suddenly had an idea and had a plan. He cupped his fists towards Liu Qi and said, "Young Master is right. There are definitely more solutions than difficulties."
"Chen Wen, tell me quickly." Liu Zhong was as impatient as grabbing a life-saving straw, anxiously waiting for Chen Wen to say the next thing.
This Chen Wen came up with a good idea but did not forget to praise Liu Qi. He is really talented. Liu Qi looked at Chen Wen with a smile and knew that Chen Wen could not handle the small matter of how to keep the secret of the secret channel.
Chen Wen stroked the short beard on his chin and said calmly: "The black silk masks of the two hundred soldiers were transported from the warehouse of the mansion through a secret passage. No outsiders saw it. Even if General Cai Hao had Zhang Liang's wisdom, he would not be able to figure out the mystery. At most
It's just suspicion. Now that the matter has come to this, we can strictly guard against irrelevant people outside the mansion approaching the Young Master's mansion. We can open a new hole in the wall on the other side of the mansion, set up some tents randomly, get some horse dung, and cover the stove with soldiers.
They pretended to be stationed in the camp, and then spread rumors in the city, saying that the master has left the house and has already sent two hundred personal soldiers to chase down the mountain bandits. It has been many days since they left the city. I would like to ask the master to live in peace and quiet in the mansion for the past few days."
"Haha, hahaha, Chen Wen has a wonderful plan, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful." When Liu Zhong heard Chen Wen tell him his plan, he couldn't stop praising him and praising Chen Wen even to the point of embarrassment.
"Chen Wen's clever plan is very suitable for Qi, so the housekeeper will do it." Liu Qi was not as exaggerated as Liu Zhong's smile. He was still calm and calm. Instead, he learned a sentence that Cao Cao often said when he heard his counselors say something clever: "
Gong Yan's clever plan is very suitable for Gu Yi."
"Yes." Liu Zhong received the order and regained his energy. He could keep the secret passage from being discovered. There was nothing happier than this.
The matter was urgent. Liu Qi, Liu Zhong and Chen Wen did not come to the school grounds to inspect the school in person. The three of them hurried back and returned to the mansion through a secret secret passage. They followed Chen Wen's ingenious plan to arrange for Liu Qi to go out of the city to chase the bandit.
