Liu Qi couldn't wait to take away all the soldiers and civilians in the city who were willing to follow him, but Liu Hong reminded him that it was not time now, and if he did so, it would be tantamount to openly turning his face with Liu Zhang, and when the time came, Liu Zhang would definitely give him a charge of rebellion and raise troops to exterminate him, and the previous plan would be completely disrupted.

If you want to dig into the corner, you have to take it slowly, come secretly, not only can't be too anxious to annoy Liu Zhang, but also take into account the upcoming Guling Taishou, no matter who will succeed you, this relationship must be good, otherwise the most uncomfortable thing in the end is Liu Qi himself.

However, the more than 1,000 people who took Gao Hong away were not enough to provoke reactions from all sides, and it was justified that these horses were recruited by the Gao family at their own expense, and they temporarily belonged to the private property of the Gao family, and the government could not control them before they were incorporated into the official army system.

Lao Tzu almost gave up his life to keep his patience, but when it was time to enjoy the fruits of victory, he had to look at the faces of Liu Zhang and the others, what did they do a few days ago? !

Liu Qi also understood in his heart that what Liu Hong said was right, but he was inevitably a little angry in his heart, hum, whoever has money can recruit more troops and buy horses, this Liu Zhang can't control it.

After appeasing the excited people, Liu Qi squeezed into the camp, beckoned a few military marquis, whispered a few words in their ears, and then walked towards his big tent with a wicked smile.

Behind him, the gate was wide open, and there was a long queue in the camp.

Seeing a carriage outside the tent that he didn't have when he left, Liu Qi jumped violently in his heart, hey, face it sooner or later, let's be hard-headed!

Liu Qi plucked up the courage and stepped into the big tent with a dry cough, and sure enough, Zhao Ci was sitting on the couch listening to Zhao Xi's endless talk about the battle situation last night that he heard from the battalion sergeants.

Just as he heard the thrill, a tall figure blocked the sunlight, and when Zhao Ci saw that the person who came was Liu Qi, who was thinking about it day and night, a pair of beautiful big eyes couldn't help but get a little damp.

"Zi......, uh, is Uncle Ancestor back?" Zhao Xi said in surprise.

Zhao Xi saw that Zhao Ci looked at him with unkind eyes, and suddenly realized, and hurriedly said goodbye: "It's time for my nephew to go back and allocate grain and grass, and come back to ask my uncle for advice and say goodbye." ”

"The little nephew is gone, and the aunt is pleased." Zhao Xi retreated outside the tent and saluted Zhao Ci, and without waiting for Liu Qi to stop him, he slipped away without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Ci stood up and bit his lower lip lightly and looked at Liu Qi, accumulating a thousand words along the way, but he didn't know where to start at this time.

Liu Qi knocked over the five-flavor bottle in his heart, the previous worry was superfluous, at this moment Zhao Ci's eyes only had incomparable joy and concern for him, and in an instant Liu Qi seemed to have returned to Zhao Ci's home in Jiangzhou, that month was the best time he spent after coming to this world, and Zhao Ci's beautiful shadow was the most unforgettable scene in that memory.

Zhao Ci entered the city regardless of the danger to find him, which made Liu Qi very moved, and the warmth filled his heart.

However, the reason from the bottom of his heart always reminded Liu Qi that the two of them did not belong to the same world and would soon have to separate, which was a fact that he could not change no matter what!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

The endless bitterness immediately drowned out that trace of sweetness, and Liu Qi said helplessly: "Pity ......"

Zhao Ci waited nervously, but what frightened her was that Liu Qi's gentle gaze was fleeting, and her voice became cold.

"Pity, what are you doing here? Qu Ren has been caught in the flames of war, and there may be traitors everywhere outside the city, if you have any mistakes, how can I explain to Ling Zun, you can't carry female dependents in the army, Aji doesn't know? Thinking of Ling Zun's affection, I don't care about it for the time being, I'll go and call him, you guys go home as soon as possible! ”

Liu Qi didn't even dare to look directly at Zhao Ci, so he stubbornly said in a stern tone and turned around and left.

Zhao Ci was stunned, she didn't understand why Liu Qi's attitude suddenly changed, was the joy in his eyes when he first saw her?

No, you can't be mistaken!

Zhao Ci tried hard to recall the scene a moment ago, and was a little relieved to affirm that Liu Qi was not angry because he hated himself, but he felt more and more puzzled, could it be that Liu Qi was really worried about the status of the two of them as uncles and nephews? But the parents made it clear that they would not care about this, and they wanted to intercede in front of the master in person, what else could the master say at that time?

Besides, Fang Cai Aji said that as soon as Liu Qi met, he strongly demanded that they must be on an equal footing, and even threatened each other with military orders, would such a messy guy be a person who follows the rules?

As for the fear of being dragged down by his family because he wants to create a great cause, Zhao Ci has long felt that it is simply Liu Qi's excuse, which is too ridiculous!

Is there something he can't do?

Men are inexplicable!

Is there anything you can't say, why do you have to keep it in your heart? Besides, nothing is a reason to speak ill of her!

Zhao Ci wiped the tears of grievance that were about to fall from the corners of his eyes, and silently shouted in his heart: "Ungrateful thief!" Do you think Miss Ben can't get married, she put down her daughter's reserve and came thousands of miles to look for you, but in exchange for a few words of reprimand! Is there such a treatment for life-savers? ”

"Someone!"

Zhao Ci stomped his feet and shouted, even if he asked Liu Qi now, he would definitely not say it, so he had to go to Aji first to find a way.

What a hassle for women!

Liu Qi slipped out of the tent and wandered aimlessly around the camp, his mood recovering a little in the reverent gaze of the soldiers.

No matter what era it is, in contrast, Liu Qi prefers to stay in the all-male world of the military camp, the relationship between men is much more free and easy, when they get along, they are full of pride, and they will not drag their feet when they are separated, all the friendship can be contained in a word of care, there will be reluctance but there will never be pain.

But it's very different for women, Liu Qi remembered a few months ago, still in his own time, the extremely hurtful lovelorn, although the woman's ruthless betrayal made him no longer have a trace of love for her, but there is still a hidden pain in his heart.

Liu Qi didn't dare to imagine what he would do if he fell in love with Zhao Ci and got married, or even had children, and could he leave Zhao Ci behind at that time? In that case, will you be able to live the rest of your life with peace of mind?

Stay in this world? What about their parents, how much pain their disappearance will cause them, and can the elderly grandfather withstand this blow?

Ay!

Pity me, go back, you and I are destined not to come together, I wish you to find Ruyi Langjun as soon as possible!

Long pain is better than short pain, Liu Qi looked back at his big tent deeply, turned around and walked out of the camp, his steps became more and more firm and powerful.

With the full cooperation of everyone, the county town quickly restored order, Liu Hong wrote a good news and sent fast horses to the state capital, while pacifying the people, repairing the city wall and treating the wounded soldiers, while Gao Hong and Zhao Rong reorganized the army and stored grain and grass to prepare for another battle.

In the good news, the generals in the city and the Brazilian reinforcements have all lost, and everyone has a share, which makes everyone who abandoned the city and fled last night very grateful.

Especially Zheng Xiong kept the old tears that moved him in the evening, as soon as he saw Liu Qi, he was as affectionate as he saw his own brother, patted his chest and swore to the sky, I don't have much ability, old brother, but there are also a few hand-drawn generals in Qu Ninja City, if there is a useful place in the future, even if they open their mouths, they will never dare to say half a word, if they have the opportunity to go to Shu County in the future, they will definitely give a thin noodle to live in the cold house for a few days......

Liu Qi despised these people very much, and felt very uncomfortable at first, but he also knew that Liu Hong was to pave the way in advance for the transfer of materials and soldiers from Guling in the future, and this favor was really weighty, and it would definitely come in handy in the future, so Liu Qi quickly figured it out, and actively cooperated with Liu Hong to take the initiative to make friends with the generals.

Before dark, the horses from all over the city sent back news that there were no traces of the activities of a large group of rebels within a hundred miles of the Shinobi, and it seemed that the rebels had indeed retreated.

This exciting news soon spread throughout the county seat of Quren, and the people in the city and the soldiers and generals in the army cheered excitedly, and the voice praising Liu Qi's merits soared into the sky.

What made Liu Qi even happier was that the next afternoon Gan Ning finally met with the people who went to meet him, and when he received the report from the horse, Liu Qi was having a banquet at Zheng Xiong's house, and after hearing the news, he even forgot to say goodbye to Zheng Xiong and flew out of the city.

Zheng Xiong said with emotion: "Just looking at his sincerity in treating people, how can his corporal and the people not give up their lives to repay each other?" In the future, there will be a place for this son in the Central Plains! ”

Gan Ning led the other sixteen daredevils to see Liu Qi galloping on the mountain road more than ten miles away from the county seat of Quren, they had no extra burden, and the return journey was much faster, an hour ago they met with the scouts sent by Zhao Rong, and asked the situation in the city in the past few days clearly, and they were also very relieved to learn that their operation was a complete success.

At the same time, Gan Ning was also afraid, if the rebels held on for one more day, no, even two more hours, Zhao Rong's reinforcements would not arrive in time, and Liu Qi and Qu Ren would be finished.

It can be said that Liu Qi is betting his net worth and life on himself, and this trust makes Gan Ning very moved.

"Brother Xingba!"

Liu Qi jumped off the horse and ran over in three steps and two steps, grabbed Gan Ning's arm and looked Gan Ning up and down, making sure that Gan Ning was unscathed before he put his mind at ease, and then looked back at the sixteen ragged daredevils.

In Liu Qi's opinion, without any intelligence support, it is a miracle that two-thirds of the team members can return safely without any intelligence support, and they can complete such a difficult task with extremely rudimentary equipment without hastily formulating a plan and not going through a targeted training!

Gan Ning knelt down on one knee and bowed and said: "General Hongfu, Gan Ning is fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

"Hurry up, Brother Xingba, the preservation of 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the whole city is all due to Xingba! Brother should be worshiped by me! ”

Liu Qi took a step back, solemnly knelt down and bowed after his armor: "On behalf of the 100,000 soldiers and civilians of Qu Ren, I thank you for the virtue of the heroes, and please accept this worship!" ”

These sixteen people had never received such courtesy, and they all panicked, and they even forgot how to put their hands, only knowing that they were trembling with excitement when they stood there.

After the ceremony, Liu Qi stood up and said to them: "You have worked hard and made great achievements, and each person will be rewarded with a reward of 100 taels and promoted to three levels, and those who do not want to join the army will be rewarded with 100 acres of good land!" ”

Among these people, four of them are the henchmen brought by Gan Ning from Jiangling, and ten of them are the garrisons of the Qu Ren, and they can even be promoted to the third level and the most inferior, they are all aware of the difference between the ordinary soldiers and the commander of the hundred people who are rewarded after the war, and the ordinary soldiers charge in front of the battle when they are in danger, and after the victory, they have to buy wine and drink at most a string of copper coins, and although the tun chief can't hide behind, at least a dozen pro-soldiers can protect them, and the most important thing is that the chances of getting promoted after victory are greatly increased, as for the silver money, That's not even more important.
