In order to be vigilant, they put the dog at the entrance of the village, and they talked in the house, but the people at the door still pricked up their ears and listened to the movement from outside from time to time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the village.

Everyone lost color, and the only three or four drooping hairs suddenly screamed in horror, and were dragged by the adults into their arms and covered their mouths.

They were all trembling...... Hoping that everyone would stay here, the bandits rummaged through a few houses and could not find them, thinking that there was no one left in the village.

The horse team rushed in anyway, and the dogs were screaming in mourning.

However, it was a mournful cry: "Lord Aweng." Fathers and fellow villagers. You can look at it, there is a good man named Liu Qi who took us to avenge you, this is the head of the bandits, this is the head of the bandit leader, plus the cut this morning, a total of twenty-seven, all here. ”

The people of the village gathered in one room and verified with each other that they had heard correctly. Some of them came out. Some people began to cover their mouths and cry bitterly.

But they still didn't dare to go out.

Only the eldest of them, despite his old age and decrepitude, knocked on a wooden cane and shouted "son", and was already half-running.

They searched the bandits' horses, their belongings, their weapons, and their staffs, and pulled them back, and found them in the open field at the entrance of the village, and they lit fires, and stacked the heads one by one. More and more people came, shouting in disbelief, but not with the slightest joy, a woman who had been taken by the bandits and taken back, rushed up and kicked one of the bandits on the head, rolled on the ground and wailed.

The old man at the head threw his cane, clasped his hands together, bowed to the ground, and said loudly, "Thank you." Epigenetic. Revenge is avenged. The old man can also go blind. ”

Liu Qi and Zhang Fenqing rushed up to support him, but he just didn't get up, and shouted loudly: "That bandit is like a murderer, with a sword and a sword, and the government is not afraid." Lao Er has lived for so long, and it is the first time he has seen a real hero. He beckoned Qi Lian to kneel, let the whole village kneel, and in the anxiety of Liu Qi and these people, he opened his mouth: "Several benevolent and righteous, men, women and children in the camp village have nothing to repay, they will build a living shrine, add incense and worship day and night, so that God will bless the benevolent princes with a long life, great wealth and wealth, and princes for all generations." The crowd chanted in unison, humming three or four times.

Qi Lian got up, knelt down for the whole village, and said: "The boy returned to his hometown with his adoptive father, and after this great change, he is already alone, and he will be buried tomorrow, and he will join the army with General Liu Qi from then on to repay his great kindness." I hope that the aunts and sisters of the old and young masters will not forget to add graves to my parents when they go to the grave, and call them home for dinner during the New Year's holidays. Boy, thank you here. ”

Liu Qi wanted to say two words and let them all get up, but his throat was very bad, and he didn't know what to say, so he looked at his brother's face, hoping that any of them would stand up and say two decent words, Zhang Tietou pointed to the front of the village and shouted: "Liu Qi." You see there's a fire over there. ”

Not only were there fires, but there were also horses' hooves.

Everyone immediately panicked.

Liu Qi shouted: "Ah Guo, iron head." You two go up and have a look. ”

When he turned around, he persuaded the villagers: "Sha Tongtian's gang of bandits have been killed by us, and these people are definitely not the bandits. ”

He saw that Zhao Guo had already mounted his horse and was about to leave, so he shouted "slow", ran to the pile of people, dragged the top human head up, and showed it to Zhao Guo and said, "If it is other bandits, pass them this head and warn them to go farther." ”

Zhao Guo inserted a double gong on his back, held a spear in one hand, grabbed the head in the other, Zhang Tietou held a steel fork in his hand, and the two jumped on their horses.

Liu Qi asked everyone to pack up their weapons and prepare, while he looked in line, and saw that Zhao Guo and Zhang Tietou had been there for a while, and the torches were no longer moving, and they were even more secretly vigilant. Unexpectedly, in a quarter of an hour, Zhao Guo galloped back, and shouted loudly when he didn't reach the entrance of the village: "Liu Qi." Seeing that we didn't go to Yangquan, Miss was afraid that we would have an accident, so she sent someone to pick you up. He roared loudly: "Lu Chuan told you to leave now." Are you going or not? ”

Liu Qi let out an "ah" and asked rhetorically: "She? ”

The scenes before and after the robbery came to mind, and he already understood that this robbery was instigated by Fan Yinghua behind his back, no wonder the officer on the city gate opened the city gate and let the group out of the city. She was not in the county town, she went to Yangquan, and she was behind the robbery of the prison, and afterwards the county town seemed to be over, and she didn't send troops to chase after her, could it be that what she said in the prison was true, in order not to kill herself, she handed over the power?

Is he worth such a sacrifice for her?

Could it be that the words in the carriage that day were not jokes, but promises?

Liu Qi, who was surrounded by everyone, couldn't help but lose his mind, and shouted in his heart: "Oh my God." She did what she said, but what should I do? ”

Zhao Guo and Zhang Tietou came back first, and Lu Chuan arrived after a few horses.

Lu Chuan actually led people to dismount, half-knelt down, clasped his fists and saluted: "Marshal Ying, please follow me to Yangquan quickly to discuss military affairs." ”

Liu Qi glanced at Qi Lian and asked rhetorically, "Can't you wait a day?" ”

Lu Chuan's face was embarrassed, he got up and went to Liu Qi's side, and said in a low voice: "There is news from the county that the town military government is beating nomads, and it is true that we are beaten." The military situation is urgent, the young lady can't come to pick you up in person, and I'm afraid that something will happen to you, so I will take half of the cavalry away...... Can't wait. ”

With such a generous treatment and such a situation, Liu Qi had nothing to say, so he said to everyone: "You help Qi Lian take care of the aftermath, Ah Guo and Fang Tong will go to Yangquan with me overnight." ”

He wanted to show off in front of Fan Yinghua, but he didn't know what kind of mind the ghost envoy was trying to do, so he blurted out: "Take the head of Sha Tongtian, let's go." ”

Rushed to Yangquan overnight.

As soon as it was dawn, Fan Yinghua came to see him and woke him up who had just been lying down, with a face just above the cover, and his eyes were looking around, weird.

Liu Qi was worried in his heart, covered the futon tightly, and reminded: "I'm still sleeping." How could you break in. What if I break into your sleeping place in the middle of the night? ”

Fan Yinghua said with a smile: "I have someone guarding there, you can't get in." I'm just going to see you now, what's going on, saying that the county will send troops, how many fake news is flying all over the sky, how many people have changed their hexagrams, and everyone has been deceived in the past, you still bite to the death and insist, and the result is still true. ”

She looked at Liu Qi softly, with a smile floating on the corner of her mouth: "I'm just looking, what's your head?" ”

As soon as Liu Qi was touted, he floated, and he also boasted: "I have been studying since I was a child, and my husband has learned to write from me......"

As soon as he said a word, Fan Yinghua couldn't hold it back and sprayed him with foam.

Liu Qi rubbed bitterly.

Fan Yinghua pointed out to him: "You have been studying since you were a child, and your husband has learned to write from you, who is Mr." ”

Liu Qi knew that his language was sick, and he said cheekily: "Once he wrote a word, I also wrote, but one word looked different, and people said that I wrote it wrong, I just knew that I was right." He gambled on a bowl of stewed mutton with Mr., but when he checked, he was wrong. He insisted that it was a lie, and he still owes me it. I don't believe you went to my hometown to ask, he went home to pick up his grandson, and he didn't mention it anymore. ”

Fan Yinghua smiled and trembled, showing feminine femininity.

Liu Qi was a little dazzled, and couldn't help but ask her: "Early in the morning, come and admire me." ”

Fan Yinghua stopped laughing, and said: "It's not enough to insist on your own opinion, you just rely on those boys under your command to wipe out the hardcore old camp of thirty or forty people in Shatongtian in one battle." With his old battalion. How many times has he been crippled by officers and soldiers, and each time he escaped death, and now it is all folded in your hands. He rescued you from prison, and you were able to do it? ”

Liu Qi became serious and said: "He is a bandit, and he saved me in order to take me to the north to exchange weapons, horses, food and slaves, you think he robbed the prison to listen to you, no, he has a plan." You haven't seen how brutal he is. When you see it, you can't help but chop him to pieces. ”

Fan Yinghua grasped the point: "Are you very valuable?" How many weapons, horses, food, and slaves can be exchanged? Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, and he whispered: "Xiahou Wulu is my uncle. I don't know why he's looking for me. I don't know if he wants to keep me by his side and threaten my Abba to leave him alone. He wanted to go south to the Central Plains. Sha Tongtian just took me to exchange weapons for horses, food and slaves? How much do you say he can change? ”

Fan Yinghua was stunned.

She asked incredulously, "What you said is true?" Xiahou Wulu is the khan of the nomads. You too? ”

Liu Qi revealed: "He is not. He faked. He is also a Yongren. You check the surname of the hundred families, whether Xiahou is the surname Yong, or is it not a small surname. My ancestor's surname was Xiahou, and now I don't know what's going on, my surname is Liu, and our family didn't change his surname, he changed it. I have to change it. He doesn't have a good temper, and my father doesn't care about teaching him. ”

Fan Yinghua looked at him, he looked at Fan Yinghua.

They looked at each other for a long time.

Fan Yinghua said: "You have already revealed the truth to others, saying that you are Xiahou Wulu's nephew, and they don't even dare to touch you." Why don't you use Uncle Ling's name? She suddenly had another thought, and said lightly: "You also brought Sha Tongtian's head?" Is it an ulterior motive? Tell me, I listen, I always think you have some deep intentions, but I just can't think of it. ”

Liu Qi let out an "ah".

He's here to show off, what's the point.

He reluctantly confessed: "I just want you to see it." ”

Fan Yinghua didn't believe it at all, and asked with a straight face: "Don't sell Guanzi." This is in the barracks. You are my subordinate, and if you don't tell me, I will engage in military law. Let them drag you down and beat you with dozens of sticks. Liu Qi blinked his eyes that didn't wake up, scratched his fingers on his chin, racked his brains, and said, "I want Siye to circulate." Say that you killed them, so that they know that you are doing harm to the people. "Eliminate harm", "eliminate harm", if he felt something, he muttered two sentences, and a spark full of inspiration flashed inexplicably, and he said: "You can also make up that he colluded with the town military government." Didn't he get hundreds of sets of cotton armor? said that it was given to him by the town military government. Splash all the dirty water on the town general. ”

Against tens of thousands of troops in Yangquan, Fan Yinghua was unsure.

Hearing Liu Qi say this, Fan Yinghua's beautiful eyes lit up.

Liu Qi said: "General Zhen was ordered to conquer the Son of Heaven in Changyue, and he must use the excuse that you have held the Son of Heaven hostage, and we, we will fight-for-tat, destroy his character, carry Sha Tongtian's head, and make a book of Sha Tongtian's ambush, and read it, post it, and pass it on to Siye before his soldiers and horses arrive...... The so-called van Wen comes first, and the soldiers and horses follow. He is now relying on an excuse to support us, if we win the civil war, the morale of the army will be chaotic. Didn't you say that there are our people in the county, and there are people from Qin Gang? Who doesn't look at the power of the town army and military government? ”

Fan Yinghua said loudly: "Okay." I'll leave this matter to you, get up quickly, the military situation is critical, what are you sleeping? ”

Liu Qi shouted loudly: "I just arrived." before sleeping. ”

Fan Yinghua sneered: "If this is your army, do you still have the heart to sleep?" Get me up, can't I get up? She grabbed Liu Qi's ear, as if she was going to grab it and lift it up, but she was attached and whispered: "Sooner or later, it will be your army." If you don't contribute, who will? ”

Liu Qi sat up sadly and angrily, wrapped a white undershirt in his hands, walked two steps to look back, arrived at the door of the tent, turned around and shouted: "Pen, ink, paper, inkstone." Where are the warriors? I want thirty. ”

Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and inkstone were brought.

Liu Qilao put pen to paper and scratched on the rice paper: "My name is Sha Tongtian, I ambush in front of Your Majesty, reminisce about the past, and explain the truth as follows......"

The soldiers and generals of the county military government have not yet been ordered, and Yeya's cultural expedition has been planned by Liu Qi, with Yangquan as the center, to spread all over the four directions.

In each place, there will be three or five knights, who will do their best to pick a human head with a long lance, escort a man to gallop through the countryside, and when he arrives at the township office or the town, as soon as the flag is erected, one of them will shout, saying that the emperor sent someone...... When the people got together, one person read aloud: "I am Sha Tongtian, ambushed in front of His Majesty, reminiscing about the past, and explaining the truth as follows...... At the end, they also took out an edict from the emperor, asking the local "tigers, leopards and bears" to gather in Yangquan and stand with the thieves.

As for the big towns and county seats, they sent people to post them.

They are often posted at the bottom of the city gate building, and when it is lively, people come to watch, and some people begin to read aloud, "My name is Sha Tongtian, and I ambush in front of Your Majesty, reminisce about the past, and explain the truth as follows...... The general of Zhenbei, I really worship my brother, give me money and grain every year, buy me horses every year, not long ago the government allocated him cotton armor, he also sent me - ""The traitorous ministers are in Beijing, the thieves are surging, I am besieged by the traitorous party, and I have fallen into the wilderness, and the people of the Quartet should not stand against the thieves. If you want to make meritorious contributions, if you want to eat well, if you want to be an official in the future, if you want to be a big official, what are you waiting for, if you have the strength, follow me to eliminate the traitorous party, kill the bullies, and if you have money, take out the money and donate it to me, I will let people write it down one by one, and when the four seas are calm, I will take back the world, and I will return you tens of millions, and give you a large piece of cotton, linen, and mulberry farmland. I am a person who loves talents, tigers, leopards and bears come to Yangquan. ”

It's frighteningly straightforward.

It is good to be straightforward, and it is recited among the people, and everyone can understand it.

Dozens of tigers, leopards, and bears rode high-headed horses, carrying the heads of Sha Tongtian and waving flags majestically, jumping around the four fields, not to mention the proclamation of the big city, and the sensation of the news was beyond people's imagination.

But whenever the villagers practice martial arts, or are strong, they are all thinking about it in their hearts.

Groups of knights galloped from the fields with their own swords, and some simply walked, carrying their burdens with sentry sticks and red tassel guns. Fan Yinghua accepted more than 300 people into the army in one day, and the next day he was afraid, afraid that he would not be able to settle the "tiger, leopard and bear", and chilled the "emperor's" love for talent, so he sent people straight to Yeya to ask for logistics, and the county magistrate of Yangquan originally turned a blind eye and let Fan Yinghua be stationed outside the city, and at this time he could no longer sit still, and ran to invite the emperor's imperial soldiers to enter the city, and swore that he was elected by the local gentry and the people to invite the general to defend the emperor, resist the rebels, and live and die with the city.

Liu Qi was also surprised.

He also fought indiscriminately, with a simple intention, that is, to slander the Zhenbei general Chen Ran, afraid that his own strength would be weak, and by the way, see if he could recruit some soldiers and horses.
