There must be a loss, there must be a gain, Liu Qi's helpless move was exchanged for a joy and a worry.

This is Zhao Rong to be honest with him, Zhao Rong has always been vigilant and distrustful of Liu Qi before, in his opinion, Liu Qi is a milky and undried gentleman, relying on a few carving insect skills to become famous, how can Zhao Rong, who has been in a hundred battles, be convinced?

What made Zhao Rong even more angry was that Zhao Zhen helped Liu Qi with all his might, it can be said that he put his net worth and life in the hands of Liu Qi, and wanted to marry his most beloved daughter to him, but this son refused in person, which was really too deceitful!

Since ancient times, marriage has been the most common and important means to consolidate the relationship between the two parties, in the eyes of Zhao Rong, who does not know the truth, Liu Qi's refusal to marry shows that he is only temporarily using Zhao Zhen, and there is no sincerity to maintain a long-term relationship with Zhao Zhen, but Zhao Zhen is angry that he doesn't care.

In the face of Zhao Rong's repeated persuasion, Zhao Zhen did not explain much, because of the master Yu Ji's confession in the letter, Zhao Zhen could only hide Liu Qi's secret in his heart, in fact, even he himself did not know Liu Qi's real secret.

Zhao Rong is loyal to Zhao Zhen, since Zhao Zhen ordered Zhao Rong to naturally and faithfully execute, but Zhao Rong is always on guard to ensure that Zhao Zhen's foundation is not a senseless loss.

It wasn't until Liu Qi offered to let Zhao Rong lead the army back to Baojiangzhou that Zhao Rong knew that he had misunderstood Liu Qi before, and his attitude towards Liu Qi was immediately very friendly, and the stupid Liu Qi couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, but a fierce general like Zhao Rong was still extremely happy to express his closeness to Liu Qi.

And this worry is a bit complicated, Zhao Ci was treated coldly by Liu Qi when he was forbearing, and returned to Zhao Xi's camp in anger, full of hope that Liu Qi would change his mind and find himself, but this guy seemed to have forgotten her existence, and he didn't even ask, and the angry Zhao Ci had the heart to go home and ignore Liu Qi again.

In fact, how could Liu Qi let go of Zhao Ci in his heart, but he had always let the soldiers carefully inquire without anyone noticing, when he knew that Zhao Ci was sad and wanted to return to Jiangzhou, Liu Qi did not feel a little relaxed, but his heart became more and more heavy, and after knowing that Zhao Xi said good things for himself to comfort Zhao Ci and temporarily dispel the idea of going home, Liu Qi scolded Zhao Xi for being nosy, but an inexplicable joy welled up in his heart.

Since then, Liu Qijue's control has become weaker and weaker, and he finally went to Zhao Xi's station unconsciously, and even those five big and three rough soldiers knew that he was looking for an opportunity to take a look at Zhao Ci.

And one night Liu Qi had a dream, dreaming that his parents, grandfather and many relatives were calling his name in pain, and after waking up from the dream, he sat alone by the river and stared at the river, not eating, drinking or talking for a whole day.

Since that day, Liu Qi has never taken the initiative to find Zhao Xi, and this division of troops has asked Zhao Xi to take Zhao Ci back to Jiangzhou with the army, for fear that Zhao Ci will come to him to theorize, Liu Qi did not even wait for Gao Hong, who was recruited by Huiqu to recruit troops, to come to meet and set off first.

Zhao Ci's camp gradually disappeared into the mist on the river and could no longer be seen, but Liu Qi had been standing high at the stern of the boat and staring, unwilling to go down for a long time.

In the territory of Wu County, Liu Qi actively expressed goodwill to appease the Wuxian County Order that was like a great enemy, and Liu Biao, who was in the downstream, was passive in terms of geographical advantages, although Liu Zhang and Liu Biao had a tense relationship, but they had not really moved the sword soldiers for a few years, coupled with the recent turmoil in Guling, who would have thought that Liu Zhang, who was too busy to take care of himself, would reach out to Jingzhou, so it was inevitable that he was a little lax, and saw that the beneficial state army suddenly broke into the territory, and he was in a hurry.

The county magistrate warmly welcomed Liu Qi's peaceful and friendly rhetoric, and replied that it would be conveyed to the officials at all levels immediately, but as soon as he sent the envoy away, he mobilized the existing troops as quickly as possible to deploy defenses, and at the same time recruited the big clans from all over the county to prepare for the upcoming war.

Although he knew that the other party's move was only a necessary measure just in case, Liu Qi was still extremely nervous, the initiative was not in his hands, what if the other party came to salute first, there was no one on his side to fight!

Gan Ning Gao Hong and Zhao Rong are not there, Liu Hong is not good at military affairs, and now only Liang Feng can be in charge of the army, but Liang Feng is having trouble with himself, and he really doesn't dare to use him at this moment.

At that time, Liu Qi agreed, but after recovering the fish, Liang Feng found out Liu Qi's true face, this guy has ill intentions, not only has been delaying and unwilling to fulfill his promise, but also coaxed and deceived himself out of Yizhou and detained him in his army.

It seems that Liu Qi still wants to continue to travel east, no matter what his intentions are, for Liu Zhang, this move is tantamount to rebellion, and Liang Feng's dream is shattered, and he takes it for granted that he has been calculated by Liu Qi.

Liu Qi knows that it is useless to be in a hurry, now he will definitely break up unhappily when he goes to see Liang Feng, and after Gao Hong brings the properly accommodated family to Liang Feng, it will be much easier for Liang Feng to accept, if it doesn't work, he is not afraid, he doesn't care much about fame and fortune, when it comes to Jiangdong's land grabbing the city, these things are not at his fingertips, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to drive him away at that time.

Liu Qi had no choice but to go ashore on the south bank, stationed on the spot to show that there was no malicious intent, and while sending people to continue negotiations with the county magistrate of Wuxian County, he anxiously waited for the news of Gan Ning and Gao Hong.

After waiting for a few days, Gao Hong finally sent someone to reply to the letter, and the Gao family came with more than 1,000 people to arrive on the same day, but the letter mentioned that the changes in the situation in Guling still increased the worries of Liu Qi and others.

Gao Hong's eldest uncle, that is, the head of the Gao family, finally died of serious illness, and before he died, he handed over the position of the head of the family to the third brother who did not abandon the family in times of crisis, that is, Gao Hong's father, but Gao Hong's second uncle Gao Gu insisted that his third brother fabricated his brother's will, and did not recognize the legitimacy of the third brother's position as the new head of the family.

Of course, the two sides insisted on their own words, no one could help anyone, quarreled for several days without a result, and finally Gao Gu saw that there was no hope of seizing the throne and proposed to divide the family, and the brother's bones were not cold and there was such a scandal in the family, Gao Hong's father felt ashamed of his brother and fell ill in bed, at this critical moment, Wu Tao suddenly came out and promoted Gao Gu and his son Gao Pei to two levels in a row and transferred to Guanghan.

Gao Hong naturally has a reward, but the place where he took office is in Hewudu County, a wild place close to Liangzhou, saying that it is a reward is actually similar to distribution, even if Gao Hong does not follow Liu Qi to Jiangdong, he will not go to that kind of place, so he naturally refused to resign in person.

And Guanghan is not only far richer than Quren, but also adjacent to Shu County, the political center of Yizhou, Gao Gu's father and son's career can be described as bright, and many hesitant clansmen have fallen to Gao Gu.

Soon, the rumor that Gao Hong offended the high-ranking officials and was rectified spread all over the city under the spread of well-intentioned people, who would be willing to be unlucky with a person who lost power, so everyone respected Gao Hong and stayed away, and in the end, only one hundred and ten homeless old subordinates did not leave.

And Wu Tao from time to time openly and secretly looking for trouble with Gao Hong, and finally Gao's father, whose condition improved slightly, finally made up his mind to give up his family business and move his family to Liu Qi, and spent a lot of gold and silver along the way to recruit hundreds of people.

The rebellion has been put down for a long time, but Wu Tao has never had the intention of returning to Shu County, and even the men and horses of Pasir County have left four or five thousand people stationed outside Yufu City, these signs are obvious, Liu Zhang still did not give up the attempt to send troops to Yongning.

However, under Liu Hong's relief, Liu Qi was not too worried, Zhao Rong had already rushed back to Jiangzhou with the army overnight, Liu Zhang had lost the best opportunity, and now he must be hesitating, and it was difficult to make up his mind to send troops in the end.

Two days later, the frightened Liu Qi finally waited for Gao Hong.

Since Liu Qi had Gan Ning, it can be said that he has been triumphant all the way, and the limelight has completely overshadowed Gao Hong for a while, which makes him a little uneasy, and now he finally has the opportunity to re-establish his importance, but it ended up with such a result, and Gao Hong is even more ashamed.

However, it was obviously Gao Hong who was too worried, and after seeing Liu Qi, Gao Hong did not find that Liu Qi was dissatisfied in the slightest, and he was also respectful to his father and elders, which dispelled his concerns.

At this time, even Gao's father praised Liu Qi a lot, and repeatedly asked his son to try his best to protect Liu Qi with peace of mind.

Although these more than 1,000 people are almost not a little bit compared with their own 1,000 elite soldiers, after all, the number of people doubled overnight is still very confident, and the most important thing is that with Gao Hong, a professional, Liu Qi no longer has to worry about himself as a layman to command the army.

Gao Hong also came with the villagers of Zhang Peng Village, who was originally settled in Qu Ren, Liu Qi has been running around for the past few months, and has no time to take care of them, especially Zhang Ling, before Zhang Laohan died, Liu Qi promised to treat Zhang Ling like a sister in the future, but so far the number of times he has met with Zhang Ling can be counted on one hand, and every time he meets, he leaves in a hurry with only a few words and less than a cup of tea, Liu Qi feels extremely guilty in his heart.

When he came to the camp where Zhang Ling and other villagers lived, Liu Qi also met Zhang Ping, who had been in the army for several months, was a lot stronger, and he had completely disappeared from the weak young man when he first met.

"See General Liu!"

Zhang Ping saw Liu Qi from afar, walked a few steps and ran to Liu Qi to kneel down on one knee and salute with fists, and the surrounding villagers also knelt down one after another, Liu Qi couldn't help but quickly help them up one by one, looked at Zhang Ping carefully, and couldn't help frowning when he saw that there were a few scars on his tanned face.

"Ah Ping, what's going on, is someone bullying you, tell the eldest brother, the eldest brother will make the decision for you!"

In just over half a year, Liu Qi has achieved amazing feats, and these villagers are happy and proud of Liu Qi from the bottom of their hearts, but at the same time, Liu Qi's increasingly noble identity has also invisibly formed a gap between them, and they instinctively take the initiative to keep a distance from Liu Qi.

These villagers can only silently bless Liu Qi, and no longer have the luxury of being as close to Liu Qi as they did in Zhang Peng Village.

Zhang Ping stayed away from the front line because he had been following the grain supervisor to do some work of distributing grain and grass, and he had not seen him since Liu Qi went to Jiangzhou.

Seeing that Zhang Ping and the villagers were all with tears in their eyes but refused to speak, Liu Qi was anxious: "Ah Ping, don't be afraid, tell the eldest brother who he is, and all the villagers, are you also being mistreated, Gao Hong dares to be so lazy!" I'm going to find him!" ”
