Liu Qi's cousin was called Liu Peng, a scholar who fought the Tatars outside the city of Datong Pass with a weak body and then died of exhaustion, and he was also a radical radical radical.

Similarly, this person is also a person who Zhang Ru greatly admires, and Zhang Ru even did not hesitate to praise words, saying that Liu Peng was a Confucian general in the world!

Although that young man may not be as good as a big man who doesn't know a big word when he really leads troops to fight, it is very remarkable to be able to get such an evaluation from Zhang Ru, who is still a Dingbian Marquis in the world.

After that, the Shenji Battalion borrowed people, and after getting along with Zhang Ru, Liu Qi was completely convinced and became a member of Zhang Ru's command.

Nominally, he was the commander of the Shenji Battalion of the imperial court, but in fact he was loyal to Zhang Ru in his heart.

After being stopped, Liu Qi shrunk his head and squeezed out of the crowd, walked slowly in front of Zhang Ru, and sneered: "Master Hou, you are here!" ”

When Xiaoqi saw Liu Qi, he immediately straightened up: "General! ”

Liu Qi glared at the young Xiaoqi angrily, and still looked at Zhang Ru with a smile.

Zhang Ru was made to laugh and cry by his appearance, he stopped Liu Qi and didn't blame him at all, it was nothing more than seeing an acquaintance and wanting to solve the embarrassment in front of him.

After all, this stubborn Xiaoqi is a rare talent, and he doesn't want this Xiaoqi to be really beaten by the Soaring Cloud Rider under his command.

Although those wild men joined the Soaring Cloud Ride, the wildness in their bones did not fade at all. Except for a few people who will listen to their words, ordinary people just glared at them, and they dared to draw their swords against each other.

Liu Qi shouted again: "Master Hou"

Zhang Ru said with a straight face: "Don't talk about those useless ones, you are also a dignified official of the Shenji Battalion, seeing that I am a common man so timid, what kind of system has you become." If Your Majesty sees his soldiers like this, your path to promotion in this life will be considered a failure.

Is this little flag your man? If it's your man, let him get out of the way, and I'll take my brothers into the city. ”

Liu Qi asked, "Master Hou, but what happened?" ”

Zhang Ru, who had no intention of talking nonsense to Liu Qi, looked at Liu Qi's eyes after hearing this, and asked with a gloomy face: "What happened in the capital that could allow me to bring troops from Fuzhou into Beijing, do you know?" ”

Liu Qi looked dazed: "Master Hou, what happened?" I really don't know anything! I haven't seen anything major happening in normal times, but it's been quite peaceful lately! ”

Zhang Ru's heart jumped, seeing that Liu Qi's expression didn't seem to be fake, but why did the person in Beijing write a letter saying that Ma Xuan was missing?

He asked tentatively, "Have you seen Ma Xuan and Wang Zhou recently?" ”

Liu Qi thought for a while and said, "I've seen Wang Zhou over there, and I met him on the street yesterday, but he doesn't seem to want to deal with me." As for Ma Zhang's words, the last general really doesn't know, and you also know that General Ma is a young man, and some of them look down on us Qiu Ba. Moreover, General Ma has been stationed in the 3,000 battalion since he returned to Beijing, and it is rare to return home once in ten days and half a month, we have met a few times before, but in the last month or two, I really haven't seen General Ma.

The situation on the side of the 3,000 battalion is special, and all of them are basically Beimeng people left over from the grassland, and they have always been at odds with our Shenji Battalion.

The last general is busy patrolling the city every day, and he has no time to deal with those guys who only know how to waste the imperial court's state money. ”

Zhang Ru hurriedly said: "You mean you haven't seen Ma Xuan in the past month or two?" ”

Liu Qi said: "Yes! ”

Zhang Ru asked again: "It was not easy to see Ma Xuanrong before?" ”

Liu Qi pondered for a while before replying: "It was quite easy to see General Ma in the past, because if he wanted to return to the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department, he had to meet with the brothers under the command of the last general. ”

The people of the City Patrol Division are not only responsible for the safety of the city, but also responsible for the stability of the entire capital.

Even if there is some fast catching on the side of Shuntianfu, the huge capital, the few people in Shuntianfu are definitely not enough. This must rely on the Jinyi Guard and the City Patrol Division to truly ensure the temporary stability of the capital.

So Liu Qi said that it was relatively easy to meet Ma Xuan in the past, and Zhang Ru chose to believe it.

"In the past six months, what strange things have happened in the capital?" Zhang Ru thought about it again and again and decided to ask his last question.

He was a little worried at first, worried that this trip to the capital was a trap, and that some people who wanted to die would use Ma Xuan Wang Zhou to threaten him.

After all, if he hides in Fuzhou City, the people in the city and Biaoyun Qi are his Zhang Wenxuan's people, the people outside can't get in, most of the people inside know each other, and it will be difficult for the people in the capital to kill him.

After listening to Liu Qi's explanation, he thought that this was not a trap.

Along the way, I didn't encounter a single enemy or any ambush.

One of the purposes of rushing to the capital with great fanfare is to let those who are hidden behind jump out by themselves.

The enemy is in the shadows, a hundred times more difficult to deal with than the enemy is in the open.

"Get your people out of the way, I'll take them in." Zhang Ru said.

This is a decision he made after thinking about it and thinking about it, if it weren't for the trap, Ma Xuan and Wang Zhou would really be in danger, even if he completed his dream in the future, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life. If this is a trap, he is willing to risk his life for the sake of his brother.

Liu Qi didn't say a word, and let people open the city gate.

This is to bear a lot of responsibility, privately let troops of unknown origin enter Beijing, and enter through Desheng Gate, if the people above know, it is light to cut off Liu Qi's head alone.

Put the lives of the emperor and the civil and military officials in danger, even if the emperor does not blame him Liu Qi in the end, any one of the civil and military officials can make him die without a place to be buried.

But Liu Qi let people open the city gate without thinking about it, because he believed that as long as he helped this young man, he would not do anything wrong.

It is also strange to say that many of Zhang Ru's subordinates have a blind trust in him, and even a battle-hardened veteran like Zhang An has such a sense of trust in him.

Why no one can say for sure, is that they believe he can change the situation.

Three thousand iron rode into Beijing, and the most nervous people were not the big and small officials of Shuntianfu, not the Chinese military officials in Beijing, but those ordinary people who did not know it.

The officials always have some connections of their own, even if no one orders them to stop Zhang Ru, they also know that Zhang Ru is rushing to the capital with 3,000 men and horses.

As for what Zhang Ru will do after entering Beijing, this is not a question for them to consider.

Hades fights, imps suffer, and generally the unlucky ones are the kind of people who want to make meritorious contributions but have no ability. There are many such people in the capital, and no one has come out for the time being, it's just that no one has given them the courage.

Dingbian Hou Zhang Ru, an invincible existence.

Neither the civil ministers nor the generals dared to deny this.
