44. Don't disarm yet

"Don't surrender yet!" Gan Ning proudly raised his sword and pointed at all the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers who formed an arc immediately took a step back, and those who were not in charge looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

Liu Qi jumped out and shouted: "Wei Bin transferred troops without authorization to avenge his personal revenge, and detained the messenger and innocent people, I will definitely show that Zhao Taishou will punish him, and you will release the innocent people immediately, otherwise Wei Bin will be guilty of the same crime!" ”

Wei Bin is the county lieutenant of Tong County, and after receiving the news of Gan Ning's appearance in Yongning, he ordered the county to lead troops to arrest Gan Ning, but the means of communication in this era were extremely limited, and it was necessary to separate people to do it, and it was impossible to call on the troops of other counties, so until Linjiang finally discovered Gan Ning's accurate whereabouts, Wei Bin had less than forty people left.

Therefore, the remaining more than 100 people were temporarily borrowed in Linjiang and Meicheng, and some of them were still the nursing homes of large households, and they immediately retreated when they heard Liu Qi's words.

The guards around Wei Bin saw with their own eyes that Liu Qi did have an official document on him, and he also mentioned the Li family in his words, and the officers and soldiers were not stupid, they all knew about Wei Bin and Gan Ning in their hearts, and they all had a small calculation in their hearts, so Gan Ning had no grudge against him, could he be desperate?

Do you just want to work hard and beat others?

There is also the one who is known as the too trustworthy messenger, and everyone can tell who is big and who is small between the Taishou and the county lieutenant.

And you, Wei County, are still in the hands of the other party, and the surrender is also said in the past, we are in a hurry and hurt your life, right? If you have the life to go back to your own people to trouble, there is a reasonable reason.

The officers and soldiers exchanged glances with each other, and finally one of the guards threw away his weapon first, and the rest of the officers and soldiers immediately followed......

Langxi, a small fishing village in the southwest of Quren County, is located on the east bank of the Yangtze River, less than two days away from the county seat of Quren, the name of the village is very poetic, but the village is very small, and few outsiders visit here on weekdays.

There are two small tables built into the only two-story bamboo building in the village, Liu Qi and Gan Ning, Cheng Guan, Guan Zhao and others are drinking, at this time Liu Qi was already drunk, and was carried to a fairly spacious room in the courtyard by Gao Teng and Cheng Guan in the laughter of Guan Zhao and others.

After Gao Tengchengguan left, Liu Qi opened his eyes, he was pretending to be drunk, no way, Gan Ning's wine was too large, he never drank a second sip of a bowl of wine, and he had already drunk at least two catties of wine after a while.

So Liu Qi had to pretend that he was not strong enough to retreat, if he was really drunk, he woke up tomorrow and found that Gan Ning had gone to the empty house, goodbye Gan Ning still didn't know what year and month it would be, and the opportunity must not be lost and not come again!

But when he thought of Gan Ning's attitude, Liu Qi couldn't help but cry bitterly in his heart, and said to Liu Qi's temptation: "It is really a happy thing to meet a virtuous brother today, and such unpleasant things should not be mentioned again, drink!" Drinking! He blocked back the words behind him.

Maybe Gan Ning's vigilance is too heavy, after all, the two have only been in contact for a few moments, and they have only been together for half a day, and they are far from being able to talk about putting their hearts together! It may also be that Gan Ning is not happy in the Jingzhou army, and he really doesn't want to talk about it, right?

Just now, one of his subordinates inadvertently called him "Du Bo", Liu Qi counted with his fingers, this Du Bo seemed to be just a small officer with a sesame seed leading fifty soldiers in the army, although he had long known that Gan Ning was not reused under Liu Biao's account, but at this moment Liu Qi was still extremely surprised.

Let a tiger general like Gan Ning lead fifty troops? It's just a tyrannical thing!

Gan Ning naturally could not be satisfied with the status quo, this time he returned to his hometown Linjiang in addition to visiting his parents, wife and children in order to meet a few righteous brothers to gather people to join the army, if enough people were summoned, returning to Jingzhou could greatly improve his situation.

It's a pity that due to various reasons, only Guan Zhao, who was alone, bragged violently and pulled up a team of more than 50 people.

Guan Zhaozi Shuran, thirty-four years old, is also a native of Linjiang, the family has a little assets, Guan Zhao was originally a military attache in the official army, but later he was young and vigorous and relied on his martial arts to offend a certain powerful person who did evil and was imprisoned, until Gan Ning learned about it and assassinated the powerful man to get out of prison, and gathered some ruffians by the river to enter the underworld.

This time, Gan Ning returned to Linjiang to recruit troops, Guan Zhao, who had long been tired of the ordinary life, was naturally extremely happy, but the so-called righteous brothers who made friends when they were young avoided him, and of course no one responded, so Guan Zhao's mood in those days was extremely bad, which led to a conflict with Liu Qi and others.

In fact, it is not easy to recruit more than 50 people, after all, Yongning has been stable for a long time, and people are at peace, how many people are willing to put a stable life but go to Jingzhou to join the army? I heard that although Jingzhou is rich, it is controlled by the family in the army, and it is very oppressive to ordinary soldiers, why don't you go to Jiangzhou, which is well treated and close to home, if you want to join the army?

Of course, no matter how many people can be recruited, Gan Ning will not get what he wants when he returns to Jingzhou, in history, Gan Ning finally defected to Sun Quan because he was not reused in Jingzhou for a long time, but it was not long before the Battle of Chibi, it was still early now, Liu Biao was still very beautiful at this time, how could he win Gan Ning from the famous Liu Jingzhou?

Liu Qi, who was at a loss for how to open the breakthrough, was more anxious, and his stomach churned more and more, so he had to go out and vomit wildly in the corner of the courtyard, almost vomiting out his intestines, his head was dizzy for a while, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.

"Fortunately, I know that he is in Jiangling (now Jingzhou City), it's a big deal to follow him all the way to Jiangling, Gan Xingba, you can't run out of my palm!" Liu Qi glanced at the bamboo building where laughter was heard from time to time, staggered back to the house, put down his mind and covered his head and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, Liu Qi wanted to get up and go out to release water, but the black rumbling in the house couldn't see his five fingers, so Liu Qi had to reach out and grope outside, boom! Ah! Liu Qi squatted on the ground with his head covered, and had a close contact with the door in a daze.

Liu Qi, who finally came to his senses, rubbed his aching forehead and went out of the door, a clammy cool breeze blew, Liu Qi shivered and looked up, the moon was hiding under the thick dark clouds and refused to show up, it looked like it was about to rain.

When he returned to the house and just lay down, Liu Qi heard a low roar of the flying knife and ran out of the door, and then barked wildly.

The barking of the throwing knife caused the other dogs in the village to bark as well, and for a while the dogs barked one after another.

"Throwing knives, what's wrong? Don't scream, come back. Liu Qi's brain was still in a semi-dormant state, and he didn't notice why the usually well-behaved flying knife suddenly went against the norm.

Kill!

Suddenly, there was a shout of killing in the north of the village, which immediately scared Liu Qi's sleepiness away, and his heartbeat suddenly intensified, and Liu Qi actually felt his body tremble uncontrollably.

After a few big breaths, it was easy to calm down this inexplicable nervousness, groping for clothes and a saber, running out while putting them on, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he met Gao Teng, who hurried with a torch.

"What's going on?" Liu Qi grabbed the disheveled Gao Teng and asked eagerly.

The exclamations of women and the cries of children were heard continuously, and they quickly spread to their side, "Someone has attacked the house where the officers and soldiers are, I don't know how many people there are, sir quickly leave here with us!" Gao Teng picked up Liu Qi and left, and soon Cheng Guan led the horse and Gan Ning and others to follow, and there were many panicked villagers behind him.

"Extinguish the torches and I'll lead the way!" Gan Ning took the lead and walked in the direction of the boat parked by the river.

Liu Qi walked up to Gan Ning and asked, "Brother Xingba, do you know who is attacking?" ”

Gan Ning replied: "I don't know, it's dark and it's hard to see, the number of people listening to the sound of the other party is more than us, the situation is not clear, it is not suitable to face the enemy, leave here quickly and make plans for the next day!" ”

Liu Qi's heart was in a mess, he had long lost his mind, and when he saw that Gan Ning was calm and calm, he relaxed a little, agreed and sped up.

Woohoo!

When he was about to reach the river, the flying knife rushed to the front of the team and barked again towards a forest, Gan Ning immediately stopped and turned around to leave, and ordered in a low voice: "Quick, pass the word, go back, go back to the bamboo building to defend against the enemy!" ”

Liu Qi's heart rose again, it seems that the enemy also has an ambush by the river, this is definitely not a bandit who robs the house, they must be coming for themselves or Gan Ning!

"Xingba, why do you want to go back to the bamboo building to hold on? If the enemy is numerous, how can he hold it? Liu Qi had an ominous premonition, and he just wanted to stay away from them quickly.

Gan Ning's voice was very solemn: "No, since the enemy can set up an ambush by the river, it is obviously prepared to come, it is definitely impossible to let the southeast direction retreat calmly, although I don't know how many enemies there are, but I think it must be only three hundred, otherwise you can rush up, there is no need to set up this trick to lure us in." ”

There are three roads outside the village, one is in the north, one is to the river, and one is in the southeast.

If you can follow yourself silently to this remote fishing village, the enemy is not an idle person! Are they the same people who followed them to Linjiang in Qu Ren before?

I hope it doesn't have anything to do with Zhang Jiao!

This time, if you can return to Guling safely in the face of murder, you must immediately recruit soldiers and horses, and only when there are more people and more guns can you feel safe!

Liu Qi prayed to all the immortals he knew, took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressed the clouds in his heart, clenched the "Shocking" treasure knife on his waist, and followed Gan Ning closely.

Back on the bamboo tower, Gan Ning commanded his subordinates to arrange the defense line, Liu Qi tried his best to search for traces of the enemy in the dark, and sure enough, there were messy footsteps in three directions, and I don't know how many enemies surrounded them.

The officers and soldiers of Wei Bin's subordinates gathered in the north of the village were wiped out almost without any resistance, Wei Bin's bones were very hard, and he did not give in from beginning to end, but insulted and threatened Gan Ning, and Gan Ning respected the hard-hearted person, so he released him.

Although Liu Qi was reluctant to let him go, because Gao Teng told him that Wei Bin's backstage was Yizhou Don't Drive to engage in Huang Li, when he was in Jiangzhou, Liu Qi had heard that Wei Bin had no one in his eyes because of his relationship with Huang Li, and he fought with Li Maoming and made some trouble for Zhao Zhen from time to time.
