Gao Xiu'er saw Liu Ziqiu's face sank, and hurriedly said: "Husband, if you think it is too difficult to rescue these people, then you should take them and flee south." As long as you retreat to the Huainan area, you won't be afraid of those man-eating demon kings. ”

Liu Ziqiu smiled: "You don't have to retreat to Huainan, there is nothing to be afraid of now, there is only one cannibal demon king, Zhu Cang, and everyone else is coerced." ”

"However, does the husband want to rely on these people to recapture Handong City?" Just now, Gao Xiuer also hoped that Liu Ziqiu would do more good deeds and help these poor people. But when she calmed down, she thought that Liu Ziqiu only had more than 50 people under him, and she still had to guard Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji, so she began to worry again.

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Look, where are the few people?" There are clearly thousands of people, are you still afraid that you won't be able to recapture Handong City? ”

Looking in the direction of Liu Ziqiu's finger, although the crowd was still chaotic, there were also many young and strong people who were selected. They were armed with knives and spears taken from the slain horse thieves, or simple clubs. However, under the command of Liu Ziqiu's soldiers, these people have also slowly lined up. Although the clothes are disheveled, they look black and oppressive, but they are also a little imposing.

Gao Xiu'er still frowned and said, "I don't know how many enemies there are in the city?" ”

Liu Ziqiu laughed: "These people have just escaped from the city, isn't it easy to know how many enemies there are in the city?" Come, go and call some of the people. ”

More than a dozen people who looked relatively old were brought to Liu Ziqiu. Liu Ziqiu said: "Handong is the home where you have lived for generations, and now it is occupied by thieves, and Liu is going to help you take it back." Now tell me, how many thieves are there in the city? ”

The people looked at each other and shook their heads blankly. One of them was more bold and said: "General Hui, I didn't dare to stay in the city when I heard that the man-eating demon king was coming, and I escaped in a hurry, and I really haven't seen a single thief." ”

Liu Ziqiu shook his head helplessly, waved them to retreat, and asked a few more people, but the result was still the same.

Liu Ziqiu can also understand this situation. There was once a martial arts novel about a character called Li Dazui, who doesn't eat people's heads. It is precisely because of Li's notoriety for eating human flesh that some people with higher martial arts than him will run away when they see him. What's more, these people are ordinary people, and when they heard that Zhu Cang wanted to eat human flesh, where did they dare to stay longer.

Suddenly, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was hiding in the cart, said weakly: "Brother Liu, I, I have a plan to help you take Handong City." It's just that I have a request. ”

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say it, I know your request, it's just for me to let you and Li Shimin go." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji's face turned red from shame, but he still struggled and said, "Brother Liu, I ......"

Liu Ziqiu sneered and said, "Eldest grandson Wuji, Liu also understands the truth of your master!" No matter what conspiracy you use to deal with Liu, Liu will not blame you, and still treat you as my good brother. However, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, but you came to deal with Liu's family, and Liu never had you as a brother again! ”

In fact, although the eldest grandson Wuji has always been very optimistic about Liu Ziqiu and calls him a big brother, it is not necessary to say how sincere he is. After all, Liu Ziqiu is from the lowest level of society, while the eldest grandson Wuji is the son of a family.

But now the situation is different, the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin have become Liu Ziqiu's prisoners, even if they will not be executed immediately, they will be arrested back to Chang'an, as a bargaining chip to blackmail Li Yuan. According to the information that the eldest grandson Wuji had, Liu Ziqiu acted decisively, even if Li Yuan was finally forced to surrender, the two of them would not be able to escape death.

Of course, the eldest grandson Wuji dared to follow Li Shimin to Jiangnan, so he was prepared for the worst. But he still tried his best to intercede for Li Shimin, because he didn't want his sister to be a widow. There are many kinds of widows, and widowhood is the most unlucky one, and no one will want to remarry in the future.

Hearing that Liu Ziqiu didn't recognize him as a brother, the eldest grandson Wuji sighed in his heart, and finally closed his eyes weakly, not even saying anything about the plan just now.

However, Liu Ziqiu didn't plan to use his strategy at all, waved his hand, and said, "Da stunned, have you integrated the people and horses?" ”

Da was stunned and said: "Back to the lord, there are a total of 2,816 people who can fight, please publicize it!" ”

Liu Ziqiu let out a "whistle", and a black and shiny majestic horse ran over. Liu Ziqiu turned around and said with a smile: "Xiu'er, remember for your husband, your riding skills were not as good as yours at the beginning, but Shibei should be impressed in three days." Would you like to share a horse with your husband and see your husband's riding skills? ”

Gao Xiu'er blushed and said, "Husband, the enemy is at present, you still have the leisure to walk your horse here." ”

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "For the husband, I will take you to walk the horse, and I will take you to see how the husband recaptured Handong City." ”

"Okay, the concubine is here, you slow down, don't be ugly." Gao Xiuer is not the kind of weak woman, she holds her son in one hand, the saddle in the other, and the stirrup on her feet.

Li Shimin, who was tied up and detained by Wuhuada, saw this scene and knew that his accidental miss was not wronged. In his heart, he always thought that Gao Xiu'er was just an ordinary weak woman, and he didn't take her seriously at all. Now I understand that Gao Xiu'er's bow horse riding is only afraid of not losing to him, and the reason why he has not resisted is just that he is afraid of Li Xuanba's divine power, not that his barrier knife has played a big role.

Liu Ziqiu plucked onions on dry land, revealing his superb light skills, and the huge man floated on the horse's back like a feather, gently hugged Gao Xiu'er, and said loudly: "Sons! Pick up your weapons and take back your homeland! Kill! ”

Hundreds of people who were a little skilled in riding horses followed closely behind Liu Ziqiu, plus more than 2,000 foot soldiers, it was like that. Of course, Liu Ziqiu knew in his heart that if he wanted to recapture Handong City, he still relied on the backbone of more than 50 people.

Gao Xiu'er was not at ease, and asked again: "Husband, you don't even prepare a ladder to attack the city, so you go to attack Handong City like this?" ”

Liu Ziqiu said nonchalantly: "If the husband guesses well, the gate of Handong City has not had time to close!" ”

Gao Xiuer saw that Liu Ziqiu was so confident, so she no longer talked about the war, and it was just a big deal to experience life and death again. She looked down into her arms, and the ugly child didn't know when she had fallen asleep.

In the past few days, he has been held hostage by Li Shimin and his gang, although his mother has taken care of him, but at least he is not as comfortable as eating and sleeping at home, and he has suffered a little.

Thinking of this, Gao Xiu'er felt a little distressed, turned her head to look at Liu Ziqiu, and said, "Husband, Chou'er is not famous yet, and the concubine wants to wait for her husband to give him one." ”

Ever since I heard Yu Shinan say that Gao Xiuer gave birth to a son, Liu Ziqiu's heart has been in contradiction and torment. But now that he has figured it out, no matter who the child is, he is ready to face reality with an open mind.

Thinking of this, Liu Ziqiu's face became solemn and said, "Xiu'er, you should know that I'm not a real bull, right?" ”

Gao Xiu'er nodded seriously and whispered: "I guessed a long time ago, whether you are a big cow or not, you are my husband." ”

Liu Ziqiu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I come from a very distant place, where there are also my parents, little sister and a group of good brothers. It's just that in this life, I'm afraid I won't be able to see them again. ”

Gao Xiu'er suddenly covered Liu Ziqiu's mouth and said, "Husband, don't say such unlucky words. The concubine believes that you will definitely be able to see them again, and there is nothing in this world that you can't do. ”

Liu Ziqiu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Some things can't be explained clearly in a few words, and when I get to Chang'an, I will tell you slowly." In short, during these days in the west, I often think of you, and I often think of my distant relatives. My roots are in that faraway place, and I will never forget them. ”

Gao Xiuer didn't quite understand, why did he say that his relatives were far away, and wasn't he also far away in Jiangnan? Could it be that his relatives are in Lingnan or further away? Of course, she now enjoys the feeling of snuggling in Liu Ziqiu's arms, even if she has a thousand questions in her heart, she will not say it.

Liu Ziqiu glanced up at the front, and suddenly said, "Xiu'er, if you have no opinion, I want to name this child Liu Sigen." ”

Gao Xiuer is still the kind of more traditional woman in her heart, and in her thoughts, she still regards her husband as the sky. Naming the child is a big deal, and she will unconditionally obey Liu Ziqiu's opinion: "Husband, the concubine will listen to you." ”

Liu Ziqiu glanced at Xiao Budian, who was clinging to Gao Xiu'er's arms, and laughed loudly: "Haha, haha, I have a son, his name is Liu Sigen!" ”

The sound was so loud that it woke up the child. The little guy stared at Liu Ziqiu, and suddenly laughed "out of character".

Gao Xiu'er took the opportunity to say: "Sigen, Sigen, call Dad, call Dad." ”

Liu Sigen's mouth opened, but what he shouted out was "Mom...... Mom. ”

Gao Xiuer covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly, but Liu Ziqiu looked helpless. Of course, he knows that when children first learn to speak, one of the easiest syllables to pronounce is the word "mother". If you want to hear the little guy call him "Daddy", I'm afraid it will be a long time coming.

Suddenly, a fast horse came galloping in front of him, and the knight on the horse shouted loudly from a distance: "Lord, five miles ahead is Handong City!" ”

Liu Ziqiu raised his big hand slightly, restrained the team behind him, and asked sharply, "How are the guards in the city?" ”
