Zhao Zhen said coldly and slowly: "Yan Yan, I personally led the army to fight bloody battles outside, to eliminate thieves for the country, and you are deeply favored by the country, but you don't want to serve the country, not only do you not listen to the order to cooperate with the thief, but instead fornicate with the Yellow Turban to rebel!" I was about to arrest you personally, but you sent it to the door, okay, come on! ”

Yan Yan said in a trembling voice: "The prince of the mansion is slow, Yan Yan is willing to accept the death, I only ask the monarch of the mansion to allow Yan to personally kill the thief, redeem the crime, save the lives of innocent people, and hope that the prince of the mansion will be gracious." ”

Zhao Zhen sneered and shouted: "Be bold and stern! You and others committed a heinous crime, and now they have not woken up to the moment, and they will be killed, but they have transferred troops without authorization and secretly assembled, in a vain attempt to blackmail the officials under the city, do you really want to rebel, and are you not afraid of disaster to the three clans? ! ”

Yan Yan secretly summoned the generals of his department to gather all the existing men and horses in order to prevent his subordinates from being bribed by the clansmen who collaborated with the enemy and jumped over the wall, and at the same time, he did make a plan to deter Zhao Zhen, Yan Jiajun will ask Chen Bingcheng to enter the city at the same time as he enters the Taishou Mansion, at this time, Zhao Zhen's army is hundreds of miles away, and he will definitely have some scruples about his own people.

But although I don't know where something went wrong, it is obvious that Zhao Zhen has been prepared, especially the sentence "Woe to the three clans" completely shattered Yan Yan's last psychological defense, and said with a long sigh: "Yan Yan doesn't dare, the mobilization of soldiers and horses is just to prevent the thieves from being obsessed and unwilling to admit their guilt and be arrested, there is absolutely no other intention. ”

Yan Yan took out the seal letter from his arms and held it up with both hands: "This is the seal letter, the prince of the mansion is benevolent, Wan Wang raised his noble hand and let Yan Yan hundreds of innocent clansmen go." ”

Handing over the seal letter means that Yan Yan gave up military power, Zhao Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, signaled the guards to put away the seal letter, glanced at Liu Qi, who was also nervous for a long time behind the screen, so he muttered for a moment of embarrassment: "Hebrid is noble, Zhen has always admired, I have already found out that the traitor is from your Yan family, and the mastermind is Guling Yan Zhan, but I can't believe that Heber is involved, so you are not willing to make a big move." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Yan's eyes, and he was stunned for a while before bowing down gratefully: "The gentleman of the mansion is kind to heart, and he will not give up if he is sent in the future!" ”

Zhao Zhen stepped forward to help Yan Yan: "If Heber can kill his relatives and find out the mastermind to show his innocence, I will go to the state government and the court to declare the original situation, and I will definitely protect Heber's loyalty and righteousness." ”

Until this moment, Yan Yan completely gave up all his luck: this Zhao Taishou is really powerful, Rao is Guling side tried his best to act secretly, but in front of him, he was like a caged bird, and he had already been in the palm of his hand!

sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show the slightest hesitation on his face, and immediately replied: "Yan Yan understands, thank you Fujun!" Then he bowed deeply and exited the door.

Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded at Zhao Rong, the personal guard, Zhao Rong immediately led the troops to follow Yan Yan and went to the city gate to receive the Yan family's private army, Liu Qi came out from behind the screen and gave Zhao Zhen a thumbs up, Zhao Zhen laughed and took Liu Qi's arm and strode out of the door.

Liu Qi looked at the old men, women and children who were panicked under the sword and gun, there were more than 200 people in the Yan family's Guling lineage, plus nearly 500 domestic servants, and they were escorted to the prison in a long line to prepare for screening, in fact, there were dozens of people who participated in the collaboration with the enemy, but according to the laws of this era, none of these 500 people would be spared like the thousands of people of the Guling Yan family.

Of course, Liu Qi would not watch so many innocent people being implicated and killed, and plead with Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen is not a harsh person, and he also has to take care of appeasing Yan Yan, so he happily agreed to only punish the evil, coerce him to go to prison, and those who do not know will be exempted, for which Yan Yan is grateful to Zhao Zhen from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Zhen was busy with interrogation and screening, writing official documents and other official duties, Liu Qi originally wanted to set off back to Guling immediately after the matter was over, but he didn't see Zhao Zhen's face all day, so he had to return to Taishou Mansion and prepare to wait for Zhao Zhen to return to his house in the evening before saying goodbye in person.

Seeing that it was almost past midnight (9 o'clock to 11 o'clock in the evening), but Zhao Zhen still did not return to the house, Liu Qi had to ask the guards in the palace to investigate, but the guards reported that Zhao Zhen was still interrogating the prisoners in the prison, so he did not have to wait.

Liu Qi had no choice but to return to his small building, in the Han Dynasty was not as good as the later generations, not only did not have a colorful nightlife, but even going out was dangerous, because there was a curfew at night, although there were guards from the Taishou Mansion to accompany him to go out for a stroll and not be arrested by the night patrol soldiers as lawbreakers, but no one on the street went to where to go by himself?

At this time, only Qinglou was still in business, but when he thought of Qinglou, although Liu Qi was a little itchy in his heart, he was afraid that it would damage his image in Zhao Di, uh, and Zhao Ci's ears, so he hesitated for a while and finally gave up this tempting idea.

He brought warm water to fill the bath bucket, soaked in the water, Liu Qi condensed his luck and practiced righteous determination, and after the water temperature cooled, he got up and wiped it off, and lay on the collapse and thought about the next step.

Zhao Wei happily accepted Zhao Zhen's proposal, and joined forces to uproot the ambitious Yan Zhan, at this time, he must have been well prepared, just waiting for the news that Jiangzhou had successfully plotted against Yan Yan.

The news will be delivered to Zhao Wei in three or four days, which is a great favor for Zhao Wei, as long as he can maintain a good relationship with Zhao Wei, even if the east gate of Yizhou is always open to himself, Zhao Zhen can continuously deliver soldiers and materials for himself without hindrance.

And Yongning will soon settle down, without the traitor and the yellow turban thief, he will no longer be able to compete with the official army, and it will not take a few days to be exterminated by the official army or take the initiative to return to Jiangyang County, Zhao Zhen will successively select elite people to go to Guling to form his own army, ready to go east into Jiangdong.

Liu Qi was excited when he thought of leading troops to fight in his childhood and the dream of galloping on the battlefield was about to come true, and he was a little unable to start, yes, logistics support, preparation and training, marching and arranging, all of this was only in the conceptual stage for himself, and he didn't know how to act at all, and he didn't find much to use after racking his brains, hey, I have to admit that I still have a lot to learn!

And the only people available to his subordinates are Gao Hong and Liu Hong, both of whom are small people who have never appeared in the history books, can they take on the heavy responsibility? (Liu Hong's biography is not small, but unfortunately there are too many strongmen of the same era, which is a little overshadowed in comparison, and it is difficult to be well-known, of course, Liu Qi thinks so mainly because he is not good at studying and does not study well) It would be good if Yan Yan could be persuaded to take refuge, Liu Qi still can't help but prefer the famous and surnamed "celebrities" in history.

Liu Qi thinks that Yan Yan is infinitely close to himself now, and it is obvious that in Yongning, Yan Yan and his family have little hope of rising again, as long as he draws an extremely attractive pie for him, I believe that Yan Yan, who cares about the interests of the family, will obediently obey, hum.

"Knock knock ......"

In the dream, Liu Qi saw himself wearing an iron-armored robe, riding on a horse and waving his arm, behind him there were Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and many other famous ministers of the Three Kingdoms.

"Knock knock ......"

It feels so good that he meows!

Well, it's just that the drum is so loud that my ears are almost deafening.

"Don't knock!"

Suddenly woke up, the oil lamp like a bean was still beating gently, for some reason there was a very noisy sound outside, and the door was being knocked on the sky, Liu Qi hurriedly got up, and before he could run to the door, the man kicked the door open with an impatient kick, it was a guard named Du Jie.

Du Jie rushed in and grabbed Liu Qi, who was coming over, and cried anxiously: "Mr. Ziyuan, the big thing is not good, the Yellow Turban Thief has invaded the city, and the prince has suffered an accident!" ”

"What did you say?!" Liu Qi had a bang in his head, and it was blank for a while.

"This can't be, this can't be!" Liu Qi was heartbroken when he heard the bad news, and Du Jie, who burst into tears, said: "I have ordered someone to prepare horses at the side gate, and ask Mr. to escort the family of Fujun to escape from the city as soon as possible, so that I can wait for no more worries and die to repay Fujun!" ”

There was a loud noise downstairs, Cheng Guan and the other four rushed upstairs, and when they saw Liu Qi, they immediately pounced, and Gao Teng said eagerly: "The yellow turban thief has entered the mansion, there are all sides, Mr. hurry up and follow me from the stable over the @ wall to get out of the house, and we will definitely fight to the death to escort Mr. out of the city!" ”

The night wind was blowing, and the broken door panel was clattering, but it couldn't reduce a trace of Liu Qi's monstrous anger, and he roared angrily: "I have received a lot of kindness from my senior brother, and I haven't repaid a cent, if I abandon my senior brother's family today, how different is it from a beast?!" Go and leave me a knife! ”

Du Jie took the lead in kneeling down on one knee, clasped his hands into fists with tears in his eyes and said, "Mr. Gaoyi!" ”

Cheng Guan and the others also knelt down one after another, shouting in unison: "Swear to follow Mr. to the death!" Gao Teng had no choice but to kneel.

Liu Qizhong nodded emphatically, grabbed a knife and pulled it out of its sheath: "Du Jie!" Goshang! High respect! Immediately gather the guards in the house, line up at the side gate to resist the enemy, and cover the small exit of the mansion Jun's house! ”

"Whoa!" Du Jie and Cheng Guan shouted respectfully and turned around and ran downstairs.

"Cheng Guan! Gotham! Come with me! ”

"Whoa!"

Liu Qi rushed out of the small building with Cheng Guan and Gao Tan, only to hear the direction of the main gate of the Taishou Mansion to the courtyard in the center full of shouts and killings, and the piercing weapons intersected and shouted angrily one after another, spreading to the backyard where Zhao Zhen usually lived.

Outside the courtyard wall, the flames soared into the sky, and people were heard shouting everywhere in the distance: "The city is broken!" Taishou is dead! ……”

Liu Qi felt a pain in his heart, gritted his teeth and raised his knife and rushed to the direction of the shouting of killing.

Rushed to the courtyard connecting the front and back yards, and soon saw countless ragged and hideous Yellow Turban thieves holding torches and swords high and fighting with the guards of the Taishou Mansion.

"Kill!"

Liu Qi couldn't suppress his anger and took the lead in shouting and rushed towards the thief soldiers, and Cheng Guan Gaotan followed closely by his side to escort him.

The thieves were caught off guard by the sudden attack of the three from the side, and several people were cut to the ground by Cheng Guan Gaotan one after another, and the courtyard gate that was about to be broken through was guarded by the guards who breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Qi's luck is really not very good, the first target is obviously not a soft persimmon, in a hurry, his unruly knife did not hurt the other party at all, but the knife was heavily knocked away, and the tiger's mouth was in sharp pain, fortunately, Gao Tan followed with a knife and slashed back the thief.
