On the evening of December 18, 425 of the Great Jin Dynasty, Liu Ji took Su Lie, Chen Hao, Hua Xiong, Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou and Zhang Guiben into the city from the south gate of Cangyuan City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
And Bo He Qi, the lord of Cangyuan City, has been waiting for Liu Ji and them here at the south gate for a long time, when Liu Ji led the six generals into Cangyuan City, He Qi respectfully brought Liu Ji and the others all the way into the Taishou Mansion.
Zhao Mincheng, the Taishou of Geshan County, still took more than a dozen civil and military officials to greet Liu Ji in the courtyard behind the gate of the Taishou Mansion, and Mu Zhen, a partial general under Zhao Mincheng, was also here, but Mu Zhen looked at Liu Ji with a different look.
"Haha, Captain Liu, this time you are equivalent to saving Cangyuan City again, this official prepared a little thin wine, and specially thanked Captain Liu." Zhao Mincheng smiled, Liu Ji blackmailed him so much money, and Zhao Mincheng didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction with this.
However, Liu Ji's cheek is definitely thick enough, "Luck, luck, I didn't expect that Liukou would be scared away when he saw Liu's hundreds of cavalry!" Liu also has to thank Zhao Taishou for his generosity and support Liu's team to go to Qianzhou! ”
Then Zhao Mincheng and more than a dozen civil and military officials invited Liu Ji to the hall of the last banquet, and after the guests were seated, the servants brought the wine and food.
Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Zhao Mincheng relayed his meaning to Liu Ji, Zhao Mincheng hoped that Liu Ji could lead the border army to stay outside Cangyuan City for a longer period of time, as for the deadline for going to Qianzhou to defend the border, Zhao Mincheng could dredge it through the relationship in the court.
In addition, Zhao Mincheng will not let Liu Ji stay outside Cangyuan City for a period of time in vain, Zhao Mincheng is not only willing to pay a lot of gold, but the food of the army under Liu Ji during this period is also responsible for Cangyuan City.
If there are any more rogues during this time, as long as Liu Ji can repel the rogues, Zhao Mincheng still has a statement.
It seems that Zhao Mincheng is really scared of being beaten by the rogue, if Zhao Mincheng can really extend the period for himself to go to the border of Qianzhou, he can take the team to stay outside Cangyuan City for a period of time, and he can also use this time to train the soldiers under his command, after all, the composition of the soldiers under his command is a little complicated, and it also takes a period of time to train well.
However, Liu Ji did not immediately agree to Zhao Mincheng, saying that he needed to go back to the camp to discuss with his subordinates, and give Zhao Taishou an answer early tomorrow morning.
Zhao Mincheng looked at Liu Ji's appearance, and he already had a bottom in his heart, Zhao Mincheng thought that Liu Ji would definitely agree even if he went back to discuss, so he didn't agree immediately to Liu Ji, and Zhao Mincheng didn't care, saying that he would wait for Liu Ji's good news.
Just when Liu Ji and Zhao Mincheng were pushing cups and changing lamps in the Taishou Mansion, in the alley not far from the Taishou Mansion, a strong man in black clothes walked in a hurry, and suddenly flashed into the courtyard of a private house, where there were more than 20 people who were also wearing black clothes, and the clothes were all the same.
The strong man who entered the courtyard made a calm gesture to the other twenty or so black-clothed people, and then walked into a room in the courtyard, and Zhou Lanqi, who was wearing a veil at this time, was in this room.
"Zhou Chuan, how is the situation in Taishou Mansion?"
"Miss, I have already found out that Zhao Mincheng's dog thief is at the Taishou Mansion tonight to entertain the young captain who went to the border of Qianzhou."
"Hmph-it's just that this young lieutenant is bad, he doesn't go to Qianzhou to fight honestly, he has to get involved in the affairs of Cangyuan City, if there is a chance, he should really solve this nosy young lieutenant!"
"Miss, let's wait, that young lieutenant has a lot of masters around him, our goal is just Zhao Mincheng that dog thief, it's best to wait for the banquet to end before we start, there are several generals under the command of the dog thief who participated in the banquet, including the partial general Mu Zhen."
"Mu Zhen is indeed a more difficult opponent, so wait until the banquet is over before you do it!"
"Miss, I left someone to monitor the Taishou Mansion, once the young lieutenant leaves the Taishou Mansion with his subordinates and the generals under the command of Zhao Mincheng's dog thief, we will start to act, and we will take Zhao Mincheng's dog thief's life tonight!"
After Liu Ji left the Taishou Mansion with Su Lie and the other six generals, Liu Ji rode on his horse and couldn't wait to whisper to Su Lie: "Su Lie, what do you think of Zhao Mincheng's suggestion?" ”
"Lord, if that Zhao Taishou can really extend the time limit for us to go to Qianzhou through the relationship in the imperial court, we can stay here in Cangyuan City for a while, after all, the Hu cavalry of all tribes in the grassland is extremely ferocious, if the soldiers under our command can have time to train and train more, and when we reach Chengyin County, Ji'an County, Qianzhou, we can also have more capital in our hands."
After listening to Su Lie's words, Liu Ji had already made up his mind in his heart, and he would send someone to inform Taishou Zhao Mincheng early tomorrow morning, and he promised to lead troops to stay in Cangyuan City for a period of time, but the conditions given by Zhao Mincheng must all be fulfilled, especially the official document to go to Qianzhou to defend the border must be completed within five days.
Not long after Liu Ji took Su Lie and Hua Xiong to leave the Taishou Mansion, a group of black-clothed people suddenly climbed from the courtyard wall of the backyard of the Taishou Mansion into the backyard of the Taishou Mansion, and this group of people was Zhou Lanqi and forty-four warriors secretly trained by the Zhou family.
As they divided into three groups, they began to search the various rooms in the backyard, and everyone in the room, even the old and weak, women and children, was quietly killed by these samurai.
In the end, Zhou Chuan led the group to find a room with four leather-armored soldiers standing outside, which was likely to be Zhao Mincheng's residence, and there were no other houses around this room, which was very empty.
Zhou Chuan made a gesture to the other samurai in this group, meaning that everyone secretly leaned over and quietly eliminated the four armored soldiers, but suddenly one of the samurai stepped on a stone under his feet and made a sound.
"Who?" An armored soldier shouted loudly.
"Not good! It's been discovered! Rush up and get rid of these soldiers! ”
"Kill—"
This group of fifteen Zhou family warriors rushed over without hesitation, the martial arts of the four armored soldiers were not weak, and in the face of the large number of Zhou family warriors, the four armored soldiers quickly gathered at the door of the house and fought with the Zhou family warriors for their lives.
Although the four armored soldiers were quickly killed by the Zhou warriors, the four armored soldiers also killed six Zhou warriors.
Zhou Chuan rushed into the house with the other eight samurai and found that there were only two beautiful women in the house, and there was no trace of Zhao Mincheng at all.
"What about Zhao Mincheng, that dog thief?"
"The hero spares his life, we are just Zhao Taishou's concubines, Zhao Taishou did not rest here tonight."
With a single look from Zhou Chuan, the two warriors stabbed the two beautiful women to death.
At this time, the shouting and killing in the Taishou Mansion was getting louder and louder, and it seemed that the other two groups of people had also exchanged hands with the guards of the Taishou Mansion.
Zhou Chuan ordered to the others with an expressionless face: "Continue to look for Zhao Mincheng, that dog thief, and kill him at all costs!" ”
