556Jingzhou changed hands(28)
That night, Sima Yi's mansion was bustling with activity, and those Liu Qi's personal guards were also drunk, and all the officials present drank heartily, except for a few people.
These people are the avengers led by Deng Xi, when they were drinking, they all pretended to be drunk, and when the banquet was dispersed and after leaving Sima Yi's mansion, they all seemed very sober, and then on such a cold night, they all hurried back home and began to actively prepare for revenge.
However, what Deng Xi didn't know was that their every move was watched by Sima Yi, and they would also become a chess piece in Sima Yi's hands.
Deng Xi and others, a total of 56 people, each returned to their homes, gathered their own family members and doormen, holding all kinds of weapons, in the middle of the night, gathered in front of the gate of the mansion.
Deng Xi gathered fifty-six people together and whispered: "I have already sent someone to check, the pro-soldiers and guards who were invited to the banquet by Sima Yi tonight were all drunk, and they all fell asleep in Sima Yi's mansion, and now in the state pastor's mansion, there are only a few pro-soldiers guarding in front of Liu Qi's door, it is estimated that Lord Kuai has appeared in the sky, giving us such a good opportunity, after a while, everyone listened to my order, and rushed directly into the state pastor's mansion, followed me, and went straight to where Liu Qi was, but if you encounter resistance, you will be killed, and you will be able to avenge Lord Kuai smoothly tonight! β
These people are all protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials of the Kuai family during his lifetime, although they are all scribes, but they all have a passion for revenge. They can even get out of the way.
The rest of the people were all looking forward to Deng Xi. After Deng Xi finished speaking. The slightest nervousness in everyone's hearts disappeared. After all, they are not soldiers, and if they want to attack the state pastor and kill Liu Qi, they must confront Liu Qi's personal guards, those people are well-trained regular soldiers, and they are also people who kill people without blinking, they lead their own families, and it is okay to bully and bully ordinary people in ordinary times. They are all some people who fight with people, bully the weak and fear the hard, even if the number of people is combined, there are more than 1,000 people, but after all, they are all a group of rabble, and when they really fight, they have no bottom in their hearts.
But now it's okay, Liu Qi's pro-guards are all drunk in Sima Yi's mansion, and they can't participate in the battle at all, and there are only a few pro-guards left in the governor's mansion who can protect Liu Qi, just a few people. No matter how powerful they are, they can't withstand the large number of them. If you rush to it, you'll be able to chop it into a mash.
So, everyone laughed heartily in their hearts, and told their subordinates the good news they had suddenly received. Those subordinates were originally worried, but now when they heard that there were only a few people in the governor's mansion who could fight, everyone worked hard and strengthened their courage, and they were ready to rush in and kill those few personal soldiers.
At the moment, the gate of the governor's mansion was tightly closed, and the lantern hanging at the gate reflected a faint firelight, which was blown by the cold wind, and the two guards guarding the door also yawned, and the weather was cold at night, and they were all curled up in a ball, leaning against the pillar of the door, drowsy.
Although the gate of the governor's mansion was closed, the small door was open, and there were two guards standing at the door, both of whom were equally sleepy and drowsy.
At this time, Deng Xi strode through the darkness, and when he came to the gate, the guards guarding here heard the sound of footsteps, so he hurriedly woke up, held a spear, and asked, "Who is it?" β
"It's me, Changsha is too shou Deng Xi, I have something important to go in to tell the lord, please let me in." Deng Xi walked into the faint light of the fire and appeared in front of the guards with an iron face.
When the guards saw that it was Deng Xi, they relaxed their vigilance, put the spear in their hands aside, and said to Deng Xi: "Deng Taishou, it's already late at night, if there is anything, let's talk about it tomorrow." At this time, the lord has already fallen asleep, and the lord has a bad temper recently, and he doesn't like to be disturbed, so the little one still advises Deng Taishou to come back early tomorrow morning. β
"This matter is very urgent, please report it!" Deng Xi looked nervous, and there was even more impatience.
The guard shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said to Deng Xi: "Okay, I'll go in and report it, Deng Taishou will wait here for a while, as for the lord guild will not see you, that's the lord's business, I'm just responsible for reporting, if the lord doesn't want to see you, I can't do anything." β
After saying that, the guard turned around and left, and said to the other guard, "I'll go and go back!" β
The other guard nodded, watching the guard leave here, but unexpectedly found that Deng Xi suddenly raised his arm, and then his right hand sank hard, a few bowstrings sounded, and then the sound of breaking the sky came out quickly, twenty or thirty feather arrows shot mercilessly from the darkness, and the four guards standing at the door all screamed, all of them were killed by arrows, and they all died.
Among Deng Xi and others, there are also people who are proficient in archery, these Confucian students have studied Confucianism since childhood, and of course they have also received training in the six arts of Confucianism. The so-called Confucian Six Arts, that is, "etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics" are the six compulsory courses of Confucianism. Among them, there is archery, which teaches archery, which is to let Confucian scholars master the skills and archery skills of archery, so the ancient literati were not as fragile and vulnerable as they are imagined now. At the very least, they are morally, intellectually, and physically well-rounded.
Therefore, it is not surprising that among Deng Xi and others, some people are proficient in the art of archery.
The arrows fell, the guards were all killed, the guards in the house heard the movement outside, ran out one after another, wanted to see what was going on, who knew that as soon as Lu Dao appeared, he saw countless black shadows holding all kinds of weapons, rushing over in a swarm, they were suddenly scared stupid, and were rushed into the small door of the house by this group of black shadows, and before they could react, they were slashed and killed by them immediately.
Immediately afterwards, these people opened the gate of the state pastor's mansion and swarmed in, Deng Xi held a bloody long sword, walked in the front, and the rest followed him, he took these people and rushed directly to the courtyard where Liu Qi was, and began their crazy revenge action.
Staying at Liu Qi's door were six members of the pro-soldier guards, they were already drowsy, suddenly heard a noisy sound and a series of hurried footsteps outside, and suddenly became nervous, and when they saw Deng Xi rushing in with a weapon in hand, they were completely sleepy, and the six of them stood side by side at the door of Liu Qi's room, pulled out the sword in their waists, and shouted at the people who rushed over: "Stand for me, who are you, do you know what kind of place is this in Lu Dao......
Without waiting for the soldiers to finish speaking, those people only cared about rushing forward, ignoring the words of the soldiers, and the head was still covered with blood, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a rebellious thief.
So, without saying a word, the six pro-soldiers immediately rushed forward, one of them stood in one direction, besieging the city in an arc, and the long sword was constantly waving, resisting the group of people who rushed up.
At first, they were able to resist the attack of this group of thieves with their skillful killing skills, but after a while, their disadvantages were immediately revealed, no matter how powerful they were, after all, there were few people. There is a way that two fists are invincible to four hands, they are outnumbered, and soon their bodies were cut by this group of thieves all over the body, and they were chopped into meat paste by this group of thieves after the last round.
The movement outside had already woken up Liu Qi, who was sleeping in the mourning hall, Liu Qi saw the tragic scene outside through the crack in the door, his six personal soldiers were killed by a group of thieves of unknown origin, and many of them were carrying weapons - kitchen knives!
Suddenly, a familiar face came into his eyes, wasn't that person the Changsha Taishou Deng Xi? Immediately after, more and more familiar faces came into his eyes, and suddenly, a picture flashed in his mind, these people were the officials who came with Kuai Liang that day, did they want to avenge Ku Liang's death?
Now that all the people outside are dead, and all the enemies outside the door are there, Liu Qi was frightened, hurriedly retreated to the back, and looked around, but found that there was only a palm-sized place here, and as soon as he entered the door, he could see it at a glance, and he could see it clearly, and no one could hide it.
When he was in an emergency, Liu Qi suddenly had an idea, thought of the secret room in his room, and immediately rushed into the secret room, hoping to escape.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open by Deng Xi, and a cold wind blew in from outside, Deng Xi and others also squeezed into the room, and their vicious eyes swept through the room, but they didn't see Liu Qi's figure.
Deng Xi looked surprised, and immediately asked people to light torches, reflecting the whole room as if it were daytime, and looked at the room carefully again, but he still couldn't even find Liu Qi's figure.
"Strange, why isn't Liu Qi here?" Deng Xihu said to himself suspiciously.
"Anyway, we have already controlled the state pastoral mansion, and we can't find Liu Qi house by house, so I don't believe that Liu Qi can't be found. After killing Liu Qi, we will go to Sima Yi's mansion and kill Sima Yi together, so that Jingzhou will be peaceful. An official said.
Deng Xi shook his head and said: "No, Liu Qi must be here, he stayed at home during the wake, this is something that everyone knows, he must be hiding somewhere, everyone looks for it......"
"Deng Taishou, this house is such a palm-sized place, you can see the light at a glance, where can a living person as big as Liu Qi hide?"
Deng Xi also frowned, it stands to reason that the news should not be wrong, but why can't he find Liu Qi?
At this time, a person came to Deng Xi's side and whispered to Deng Xi: "Deng Taishou, I heard that there is a secret room in this house, will Liu Qi hide in this secret room?" β
Deng Xi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately ordered: "There is a secret room in this room, Liu Qi must be hiding there, search for me, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find out Liu Qi for me!" β
As soon as the words fell, the rest of the people began to rummage through the cabinets in the room, Deng Xi turned his head to see who had exploded such a fierce news for him, but no one saw it, he couldn't help frowning, and secretly thought in his heart: "Isn't it Lord Kuai's manifestation?"
