The dinner before the trip was held in the camp of steward Liu Zhong. Chen Wen, Chen Wu, Wen Dai, Huan'er and ten bronze guards plus Liu Qi, a total of sixteen people, placed a long table side by side in front of Liu Zhong.
It was placed in front of the bed, and on the table were a large pot of stewed fish, a large plate of mutton, beef, wild goose meat and freshly picked wild fruits from Huaguo Mountain.
Liu Qi was sitting in the middle of the long table, and Huan'er was next to Liu Qi, sitting in a row. Liu Zhong lay on his side on the bed, picked up the wine bowl, and said excitedly: "Young Master is going out of the city this time, and the journey will be difficult and dangerous, so you must be more careful. Everyone.
A strong man should protect the young master on his journey. The day when the young master obtains the sword is the day when the young master becomes powerful. I wish this trip a success and everyone has a bowl."
There was a large ceramic bowl in front of everyone, and Huan'er also insisted on ordering a large bowl. Everyone didn't hesitate to finish the bowl without hesitation.
The wines produced during the Three Kingdoms period did not contain industrial alcohol and were made purely from sorghum or rice. The alcohol content was not high, but the taste was very refreshing, no less than that of Moutai and Wuliangye in later generations. Liu Qi drank a bowl of wine, secretly praising the good wine and sighing about Chinese wine.
The culture has a long history, and good wine was produced during the Eastern Han Dynasty. No wonder the Huaxia Kingdom after 1800 is known as the largest wine country with the most developed wine culture in the world.
Huan'er also drank a bowl of wine like an adult and coughed a few times. After all, girls have a limited capacity for alcohol. Her face suddenly became peach-shaped and charming. The other guards also showed their pride and pride after being stimulated by alcohol.
After drinking a round of wine, Liu Qi stood up, lifted a jar of wine with one hand, filled another bowl for Liu Zhong himself, and filled another bowl for Chen Wen and Huan'er who were beside him. He handed the jar to Chen Wu and poured out the wine for everyone in turn.
The bowl was filled, he raised the bowl and said:
"The housekeeper has been busy with the affairs of the mansion recently. Huan'er must take good care of the housekeeper. Don't delay Chen Wu's training of soldiers. Wen Dai can prepare the food for the army and train with Chen Wu at the same time. The affairs of the house are temporarily left to the housekeeper.
The steward is fully responsible. If any major changes occur, we will put it aside until I get the sword and return home. Let’s drink this bowl of wine together. First, I wish the steward a speedy recovery. Second, I wish you can build a strong army as soon as possible. Third, I wish you peace in the world after you get the sword. "
"Do it, do it, do it." There was a sound of clinking bowls, and the second bowl of wine was consumed.
Liu Zhong finished the bowl of wine, and when Chen Wen filled the third bowl of wine for everyone, Liu Zhong started talking more and explained to Liu Qi one by one: "Don't worry, young master, I have ordered someone to do the work."
A movable bed with four wheels. In order to prevent outside suspicion, Huan'er, the former guard maid, and old mother will stay with me in the Young Master's Mansion tonight. There are still two hundred soldiers stationed outside the mansion, and one hundred soldiers are rotated for training every week.
, Chen Wu and Wen Dai were left in the valley, and Chen Chun, Chen Xia, Chen Qiu, and Chen Dong were left in the valley to cooperate with the training. The four guards, Liu Yi and Liu Er, were mourned together after the young master took the sword. There was nothing else.
Important things."
"Then the housekeeper will take more care of you." Liu Qi stood up and bowed to the housekeeper, cut a piece of beef with a knife, and handed it to Liu Zhong with silver chopsticks. He said affectionately: "Butler, eat more, and you will get better faster." Then he did the same.
Picking up a piece of beef, he looked at the ten bronze guards and said, "Eat, all strong men. Please feel full."
Liu Qi took the lead in eating. It would be a pity not to eat such a table full of big fish and meat. It is rare for the bronze guards to eat such sumptuous dishes. Everyone immediately relaxed their appetite and swept away the beef on the long table like a whirlwind.
All the mutton and other items were wiped out, and everyone drank the third bowl of wine casually while eating the vegetables.
After three bowls of wine were finished and all the dishes were eaten, it was estimated that it was almost time. Everyone stood up and left the tent. The soldiers had already brought the wooden bed with four wooden wheels that Liu Zhong wanted to use, which was also like the operating bed in later generations.
, but the wooden wheels are fixed, not movable.
Huan'er walked beside Liu Qi. Liu Qi did not expect that the women from the Three Kingdoms had an alarming amount of alcohol. Xiang Huan'er was not drunk except for the red face.
After Liu Qi went out of the six doors through the secret passage, the four guards of gold, silver, copper and iron had already prepared carriages containing camping supplies and various tomb robbing supplies. There were four carriages with sixteen good horses, and each carriage had four horses. The carriages
The use of horses is very flexible. Each carriage can use two horses to pull the cart, so it can have eight more fast horses. Each carriage can use only one horse to pull the cart, so it can have twelve more horses.
The flexible four-wheeled four-wheel carriage that can mobilize war horses at any time is an idea of Liu Qi. He told Chen Wen to prepare it in advance, and Chen Wen improved it. The carriage shed was wrapped with thick iron sheets, and the horses were fully wrapped with double layers of cowhide to prevent
Cold arrow.
The Twelve Bronze Guards were fully armed with bronze helmets and bronze armor. Chen Wen specially selected three pairs of fine armors from the 200 pairs of armors donated by Wenpin to use.
Ten bronze guards were ready in four carriages. Liu Qi and Chen Wen had put on their armor, and another pair of armor was ready for E Huan to use and were ready to go.
"Master, Master." Suddenly Huan'er ran out of the house, the white rabbit on his chest jumping, and ran to Liu Qi panting.
Liu Qi frowned and pretended to be displeased: "Huan'er, it's so late, why don't you go rest?"
Huan'er hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage before speaking out: "Can't you, Master, not go?"
Liu Qi smiled calmly: "What did Huan'er say? Look, the carriages and horses are ready, and the armor is worn. Can you not go?"
Huan'er looked at Liu Qi affectionately and said resentfully: "I know I can't stop the young master."
Liu Qi smiled again: "Oh, Huan'er really has you. I know I can't stop you. Why are you still here? Go and wash up and sleep."
Huan'er glared at Liu Qi and said: "Young master is going to dig up the dead man's grave. Although I believe that what you want to do is reasonable, I am still very scared. I heard that there is a lot of bad luck in the dead man's tomb, and there will be all kinds of bad luck."
There are ghosts, zombies and so on, there are many ferocious beasts, and there are snakes, scorpions and other poisonous insects crawling around. I always feel uneasy. Aren't you afraid at all?"
Liu Qi laughed loudly: "Huan'er, don't joke with me. How can there be any ghosts in the world? Ghosts don't scare people. Only people who scare people can scare people to death. You are trying to scare me, but I am not the most scared person."
"
Huan'er looked at Liu Qi who didn't care about what ghosts and gods said. Knowing that it would be useless to talk too much, he took out two small medicine jars, one red and one blue, from behind, stretched out his hand and handed it to Liu Qi, muttering in a low voice: "Who?
I'm kidding you, sir."
Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, took the medicine jar, and asked curiously: "What is this?"
Huan'er replied angrily: "It's for life-saving."
Liu Qi turned the two clay pots with wax seals over in his hands and looked at them carefully. He didn't find anything special and asked doubtfully: "What are you saving your life for?"
Seeing that Liu Qi didn't care much about her feelings, Huan'er suddenly started sobbing. Liu Qi, who hated seeing women cry the most, hurriedly comforted her: "Huan'er, why are you crying? If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. I have to leave the city right away.
"
Huan'er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves and said softly: "Master, don't rush me, let me finish." Before leaving, the master gave me two medicine jars and told me not to tell the master unless it was absolutely necessary. The master knows the master
It is very lethal and may hurt lives, so I deliberately left two cans of life-saving pills. If you are still alive, taking one of the pills in the blue bottle can bring you back to life. There are not many pills, so you will have nothing after using them. When the enemy is in danger,
, the pill from the red bottle can cause instant death if it melts when thrown, and the pill from the blue bottle has no solution after death. Use this pill with caution."
After Huan'er revealed the truth, Liu Qi found out that Hua Tuo left without saying goodbye but left life-saving pills with Liu Qi, which made Liu Qi feel even more guilty. It seemed that the miracle doctor Hua Tuo had true feelings for Liu Qi. Although Hua Tuo couldn't bear to see Liu Qi kill too hard.
, but worried about Liu Qi's life, he left life-saving pills without telling Liu Qi before leaving. He is really an old man who values love and justice.
"Sir." Liu Qi called him as he faced the north entrance, holding the life-saving red and blue medicine bottle, his heart was ups and downs. Hua Tuo had been gone for many days. I don't know when he would meet again. I hope Hua Tuo would not be harmed by Cao Cao. If you want to
To change Hua Tuo's historical destiny, Liu Qi thought of a way to defeat Cao Cao before he summoned Hua Tuo to treat his headache.
"Yes, in order to save Hua Tuo, we have to defeat Cao Cao." Liu Qi secretly clenched his fists and made up his mind. It's easy to say that he just wants to defeat Cao Cao. In fact, it is impossible at present. He really wants to defeat Cao Cao.
If so, I'm afraid I don't know how many rounds of fighting there will be, nor how many soldiers will be killed or injured, nor how many lives in the Eastern Han Dynasty will be devastated?
"Huan'er, take a rest soon." Liu Qi said softly, put the red and blue cans of life-saving pills left by Hua Tuo into the spare medicine box he carried with him, and ordered Chen Wen, who was holding a riding crop next to him, "Let's go."
Chen Wen raised his whip and said "drive", and the four carriages galloped towards the west gate.
Huan'er watched the four carriages gradually disappearing in the streets of Xiangyang City. Two lines of tears fell from the corners of her eyes as she wiped them away. She silently muttered in her heart: "Master, take care."
When the four carriages turned through the passage in front of the Young Master's Mansion, another fast horse took advantage of the darkness and galloped towards the Mansion of General Cai Hao, the General of the House of Lords. It was the spy horse arranged by Cai Hao around Liu Qi's Mansion to monitor the activities in the Mansion 24 hours a day.
In a short time, four carriages galloping in the night rushed to the west city gate guarded by E Huan. Looking from a distance, E Huan in a tiger skin and leopard skirt was looking around anxiously. On the same day, Chen Wenlai informed E Huan to leave a letter of resignation.
As the gatekeeper, he had to accompany his son out of the city, so E Huan was impatient and was very excited for a whole day.
A few days ago, when fighting against the mob in Wenjiazhuang, in order to prevent Wenpin from sending troops and Cai Hao to harm him, Liu Qi sent someone to secretly notify E Huan to prepare to leave the city, but E Huan did not wait until Liu Qi showed up. Today, Chen Wen is in a hurry
E Huan came to report urgently and was very excited when he learned the exact news of leaving the city at midnight.
At the gate of the city, E Huan remembered the bet he made with the young master Liu Qi in a duel. Whoever loses will be his pawn. As a result, the young master Liu Qi won, and E Huan was willing to admit defeat. From now on, he will serve the young master. What will happen?
What fate awaits E Huan?
What is a pawn? For the sake of the master, one must endure hardship first and enjoy the last; die in front and live in the back. As Liu Qi's pawn, Liu Qi's fate is E Huan's fate. E Huan still understands the principle of prosperity and loss.
of.
"Master." Seeing Liu Qi's carriage parked in front of him, E Huan excitedly stepped forward to salute and pay homage.
"Don't be too polite, open the city gate and get on the carriage quickly." Liu Qi waved E Huan with his hand. This was not the time to pay attention to etiquette. Liu Qi was afraid that if he stayed at the city gate for a minute longer, he would be in danger of being plotted by Cai Hao.
If Cai Mao sets up an ambush on the only trail passing through Longshan outside the west city gate, he will be in big trouble.
