Shifu is very big, after Zhao Huan moved away, Liu Qi, Shi Lei and others all moved into the mansion, these are the ministers who followed Zhao Huan at the beginning, if it was before, Shi Lei, the deputy general of Xiangyang, where is he qualified to live here, but now it is different, Shi Lei also has a huge mansion. In the mansion, not only Shi Lei's family, but also Shi Lei's servants and so on also live in the mansion.

"Shifu still looks extremely magnificent, this place was still rewarded to Qin Hui by His Majesty, but unfortunately, Qin Hui did not live long, His Majesty moved the capital and rewarded Shi Lei." Liu Zhao rode a war horse, looking at the mansion in front of him, his face was relatively poor, and there was a trace of jealousy in his eyes, he was Liu Qi's younger brother, and the place where he lived was not as big as the one in front of him.

"General Shi is the pillar stone in the army, I, Liu Qi, can resist the attack of the Seed Master, General Shi has a very important role, you can't mess around." Liu Qi glared at his younger brother, no one in the army can be absent, but Shi Lei can't, Shi Lei is an important link for himself to unite the local generals in Xiangyang, and many things in Xiangyang City need Shi Lei to come forward.

"Yes." Liu Zhao could only press the dissatisfaction in his heart and arch his hand. He swept the mansion in the distance, but saw Shi Lei leading a few subordinates and walking over with a smile, obviously getting the news and coming to greet him in person.

"Brother Shi, congratulations!" Liu Qi saw Shi Lei coming in person, and the smile on his face was even more, at least in his opinion, Shi Lei still respected himself very much, and going out to greet him was secondary, this attitude was the most important thing.

"The general has arrived, and the puff is shining, please." Shi Lei glanced at Liu Qi and the others, but more than a dozen pro-soldiers were very confident, thinking that in this Xiangyang City, no one dared to do anything to Liu Qi.

"This is the ginseng given to the general by a merchant in Liaodong, I heard that it is a hundred years old, and Liu doesn't need it by his side, so it is better to give it to the old lady, so that the old lady can live for another hundred years." Liu Qi smiled and said to the soldiers around him, only to see that the soldiers were holding a brocade box in their hands, and when the brocade box was opened, he saw a ginseng tied with a red rope, and the ginseng was all alive.

"This, how does this work?" Shi Lei suddenly felt a little excited in his heart. There is even some confusion, although Liu Qi is not very good to the people of Xiangyang, but he is still very good to him, is it not good for him to betray the other party like this.

"Hmph, General Shi, don't forget, what you said at the beginning, the income from this birthday greeting must be dedicated to the imperial court." At this time, a shrill voice suddenly came from beside him, which woke Shi Lei up all of a sudden.

"Bastard, this is a private gift from Liu, it has nothing to do with this birthday, when did I take back the things that Liu Qi sent." Liu Qi was furious in his heart, and glared at his brother fiercely, this guy is more than successful and more than defeated.

"Yes, yes, what General Liu said is very true, since the last general has already said it, then it must be done, but what the general said is also reasonable, in this way, this ginseng will be bought with money, and then donated to the army with this money, so that the best of both worlds, to be honest, on the market, a hundred years of ginseng is a good thing that money can't buy." Shi Lei laughed when he heard this, as if he was very happy, a little guilt in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, took Liu Qi's hand, and said: "General, please, all the generals in the hall are in a hurry, and the general is missing." ”

Liu Qi's face turned red, his lips trembled, he didn't know what to say, when did he still need to buy the birthday gift? It's the rhythm of a slap in the face. spread out, Liu Qi still wants to be famous.

Liu Zhao also felt that there was a mistake in what he said just now, and he secretly scolded himself in his heart, but the words had already been spoken, and it was impossible to take them back now. He thought about making up for it later.

The hall was brightly lit, and the old lady Shi just came and left, after all, everyone present was not really coming for the old lady, Shi Lei and Liu Qi were sitting in the chief, he glanced outside, and saw a personal guard nodding to him, and immediately knew that the matter was almost ready.

stood up at the moment, and faintly took three or five steps towards Liu Qi before saying with a smile: "Everyone, Shi has something to say." ”

"General, come on." Liu Qi put down the wine glass, smiling, but he didn't know why something was faintly bad in his heart, he glanced around, the room was full of generals and lieutenants, and the officials of the entire Xiangyang City were wiped out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who is outside, the Tang 100,000 army is besieging Xiangyang, although we have repeatedly defeated the Tang army's attacks, do you think we can really hold Xiangyang City?" Shi Lei glanced at everyone and sneered: "Many of you are from Xiangyang City, the two sides are at war, and the people of Xiangyang City are devastated, are there still fewer people who have died these days?" Do you just watch the villagers die in battle like this, and look at my Xiangyang City, where there are ten rooms and nine emptiness, the mother loses the child, the wife loses her husband, and the son loses the father? Shi Lei's voice was fierce, his eyes were red, he swept over everyone, there was silence in the hall, there were those who pondered, those who moved, those who were angry, and those who disdained, but more than that, it was a big surprise. Shi Lei actually wants to join the enemy?

"Shi Lei, what do you want to do? Want to betray the Great Song? Liu Zhao reacted instantly, his face was gloomy, and he roared loudly. Not only was there no fear in his heart, but more ecstasy, killing Shi Lei, occupying the mansion, and getting more money.

"General Shi, are you defecting to the enemy? The court treats you well, why did you betray the Son of Heaven? Do you want to leave a stench for 10,000 years? After a burst of anger, Liu Qi quickly regained his composure, his eyes rolled, under the anger, he was thinking more about how to leave Shifu, Shi Lei gathered everyone at this time, obviously prepared, once he stayed here, it was almost a mortal situation, he hated in his heart, he knew this, he should bring more people to come, and now he has less than twenty people in his family, how can he break through the defense in front of him?

"Abandoning the darkness and turning to the light itself is like this, not to mention that the Tang Hongwu Son of Heaven is famous, he is the lord of the world, I am here to block the heavenly soldiers, that is, the mantis arm is used as a car, and it will be forgotten if I die, even if I am affected, I will be recorded in the history books in the future?" Shi Lei took two steps out of the way again, and sneered: "What's more, Shi's personality is very clear to all the brothers, if it weren't for your brothers going too far, I, Shi, would not be like this, let the people of Xiangyang die innocently and tragically, even if they die, they won't even give other people's money for their lives, what will you brothers do with my fellow villagers in Xiangyang City?" Requisitioning ships, that's not called requisition, that's called robbery, what's going on with the lives of 30 people in Yang Village at the North Gate? Liu Zhao, tell me? It's not that I don't want to work hard for Da Song, it's that you guys are too shameless. ”

The generals in the lobby were also angry when they heard this, and they glanced at Liu Zhao one after another, their eyes were full of anger, they didn't expect Liu Zhao to do such a bad thing, which was really angry.

"Liu Zhao, what did you do well, what did you do behind my back, recruit from the truth, otherwise, even if you are the younger brother of General Ben, General Ben will kill his relatives in righteousness." Liu Qi's face changed greatly, he glanced at Liu Zhao on the side, and said to Shi Lei: "General Shi, if the matter is really as the general said, Liu Zhao is at the disposal of the general, but the general must not act rashly, then Li Jing is insidious and cunning, even if the general defects to the Tang Dynasty, he may not be reused, it is better to stick to the city, and after repelling the Dao of the Seed Master, Liu Qi will definitely play the Son of Heaven, seal the general, and the position of prince is at your fingertips." Liu Qi can see clearly, if he doesn't say something good at this time, his life will be difficult to protect, there are already enough people outside, Shi Lei's reinforcements have arrived, and it is very difficult for him to leave.
