On the morning of December 19, 425 of the Great Jin Dynasty, a subordinate official of the county government yamen in Cangyuan City hurried out of the city and came to Liu Ji's camp outside Cangyuan City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After this subordinate official of the county government yamen saw Liu Ji, he told Liu Ji the news of the assassination of Taishou Zhao Mincheng, and Liu Ji was immediately shocked, "How is this possible?" Last night, Zhao Taishou also had a banquet in the Taishou Mansion, and the captain of the school! ”

Liu Ji showed the appearance as if he had just learned the news, and his acting skills definitely reached a professional level.

"Alas, Captain Liu, not long after you left the Taishou Mansion, a group of assassins infiltrated the Taishou Mansion and not only assassinated the Taishou Lord, but also killed hundreds of guards and subordinates in the Taishou Mansion." The subordinate official of the county government yamen sighed and said.

Liu Ji then said angrily: "This group of assassins is so bold that even the Taishou appointed by the imperial court dares to assassinate them, do you know who did it?" ”

"The origin of those assassins is currently being investigated, and when I came down to see Captain Liu, I was ordered by Lord Shi, the magistrate of Geshan County, to invite Captain Liu to enter the city to discuss the matter of preventing the rogue, and our Lord Shi, the magistrate of Geshan County, is also the eldest son of Zhao Taishou, if there is no accident, Lord Changshi will succeed to the post of Taishou of Geshan County."

Liu Ji hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "The captain of this school and his subordinates will explain some things, and then go to the city to hang Zhao Taishou and discuss with Zhao Changshi about preventing rogues." ”

Zhao Mincheng is dead, and it is impossible for Zhao Mincheng to promise Liu Ji to come true, Liu Ji is actually not willing to enter Cangyuan City again, he wants to take the team directly and continue on the road, but the person has just been assassinated, you will leave, it is really a bit inauthentic, no matter what, Liu Ji also gained a lot of property from Zhao Mincheng, at least he has to go into the city to hang his filial piety.

Then the subordinate official of the county government yamen hurriedly left Liu Ji's camp and returned to Cangyuan City to report to Zhao Ce.

After Liu Ji ate a bite of breakfast, he summoned all the generals under his command, and among these generals, only the six generals who accompanied Liu Ji into the city last night knew what happened yesterday, and the other generals did not know the news that the Taishou of Geshan County was killed.

Zhang Guihou and Zhang Guiben had quietly returned to the camp outside the city before dawn, and they used ropes to directly avoid the city defenders and climbed out of the city wall.

For the generals under his command, Liu Ji had nothing to hide, and told the generals that Zhou Lanqi and Zhou Lanxin assassinated Taishou Zhao Mincheng, and that Zhou Lanqi and Zhou Lanxin were brought back by himself, and the reason why Liu Ji wanted to tell all the generals about this matter was to let them be a little more vigilant, after all, the real murderer who killed Taishou Zhao Mincheng was in their camp.

After explaining to the generals under his command, Liu Ji took Su Lie, Chen Hao, Hua Xiong, Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou and Zhang Guiben, six generals, and entered Cangyuan City again.

Liu Ji came to the hall where Zhao Mincheng's body was parked in the Taishou Mansion, bowed three times to Zhao Mincheng's body, and was invited by Zhao Ce to the side room of the hall.

Liu Ji used the system to probe Zhao Ce's three-dimensional value, this Zhao Ce's force value is not high, only 42 points, but the intelligence value and commander value are very high, reaching 78 points and 76 points respectively.

In addition, Liu Ji also found that the force value of a guard general beside Zhao Ce had reached the level of a first-class general, Zhao Zhong, with a force value of 81, an intelligence value of 54, and a commander value of 59, which was already the second first-class general Liu Ji saw in Cangyuan City, and a first-class general was the partial general Mu Zhen.

"Thank you Captain Liu for coming to worship my father, and I would like to thank Captain Liu for relieving the siege of Cangyuan City, if it weren't for Captain Liu with soldiers and horses to help, maybe this official would have become a ghost under the knife of Zhang Ding's gang of rogues." Zhao Ce said to Liu Ji with a grateful face.

Liu Ji said gloomily: "Yesterday, I also pushed the cup with Zhao Taishou to change the lamp, but I didn't expect that today it would be separated by yin and yang, it is really a creation and a trick, Zhao Changshi also asks for condolences!" ”

Zhao Ce's eyes were red and he said: "My father has been working hard for the people of Geshan County, but I didn't expect to be killed by traitors, and then this official will inherit my father's will and continue to benefit the people of Geshan County!" There is one more thing to invite Captain Liu over today, I need to discuss with Captain Liu, the conditions formulated by my father and Captain Liu last night are still valid, as long as Captain Liu can lead the team to stay outside Cangyuan City for an extra month, in addition to being willing to pay Captain Liu 10,000 taels of gold, the official is also responsible for the food of the soldiers and horses under Captain Liu during this period. ”

After a pause, Zhao Ce continued: "In addition, this official will dredge through the connections in the imperial court, and extend the deadline for Captain Liu to lead the troops to the border of Qianzhou, if Captain Liu is willing to stay in Cangyuan City, this official can even guarantee Captain Liu that through the operation of the relationship between the imperial court, Captain Liu will be exempted from the task of going to the border of Qianzhou this time!" The official is eager for a young talent like Captain Liu, and the official's ambition is by no means to be a Taishou of Geshan County. ”

Liu Ji didn't expect that this Changshi, who had just met, wanted to recruit himself, but Liu Ji didn't want to take refuge in others, although he needed to lead the team to the border of Qianzhou and face the murderous Hu cavalry, but how to say that he was also free, and thousands of soldiers and horses were completely up to him.

"Thank you Zhao Changshi for your kindness, but Liu must go to Qianzhou to defend the border, if you can hand over the extension document of Liu to Qianzhou to the border within five days, then Liu Ji is willing to stay outside Cangyuan City for a month, but the 10,000 taels of gold must be sent to Liu's camp today, if the official document of the five-day extension has not been completed, then Liu can only be sorry and leave Cangyuan City with his troops, and the 10,000 taels of gold Liu will not return to Zhao Changshi."

Listening to Liu Ji's words, Zhao Ce's brows couldn't help frowning, for the thousands of elites under Liu Ji's command, Zhao Ce, who had great ambitions, hoped to be in his hands, but unfortunately Liu Ji refused, and even staying outside Cangyuan City for a month also offered more harsh conditions.

Zhao Ce then said with a wry smile: "Captain Liu, it will take five or six days for Cangyuan City to be from the capital even if it is a fast horse day and night, plus the need to dredge up the relationship in the capital, and the time to return, it must be at least more than twenty days, and it is impossible to get back the postponed official document in just five days!" In addition, the situation in the border area of Qianzhou is now very bad, almost becoming a hunting area for nomads, although there are thousands of elites under the command of Captain Liu, but the nomads have tens of thousands of cavalry at every turn, Captain Liu will no longer consider the suggestion of staying in Cangyuan City, as long as Captain Liu is willing to assist the officer, the officer guarantees that Captain Liu will fly in the future! ”
