Zhuang, a not too big Zhuangzi, located in the eastern suburbs of the Beijing Division, at the end of the boundary of the Beijing Division, out of the Nian Zhuang is also out of the boundary of the Beijing Division, the Zhuangzi is not big, that is, more than 100 households, this Zhuang was originally attached to the Eastern Turks who lived, Zhenguan 11 years after the imperial court moved all the Eastern Turks around the Beijing Division to the Hetao area, this village was deserted for a period of time, and then the Jingzhao Mansion successively moved some military households to live here, and gradually had some popularity, in the suburbs of Beijing in many Zhuangzi, Nian Zhuang is just a very ordinary Zhuangzi, if there is anything special, that is, there are no other manors within ten miles around this village, it seems a little lonely.

Seeing the day is about to be the Lantern Festival, although the people in the village are mostly poor, but the Lantern Festival still has to live, most of the people in the village hang red lanterns, cook some rice balls, and get ready to be happy, it is also a rare happy time in the year, after all, the Lantern Festival is over, the agricultural time is almost coming, and the busyness of the year is about to begin. Although Liu Qi no longer has to be busy with farm work, he also wants to have a lively time in his own home, after all, he is now an official, this is the first time in the old Liu family's life, although the official is not big, it is just a team, and he may be an official under the generation of "General Star" Yue Wangye, and the future prospects are naturally extremely bright, isn't it?

Although Liu Qi is ranked seventh, in fact he is an only son, in addition to an old lady in the family, there is no one else, since the first battle in Shuozhou, this is the first time to return to the village, of course, it is also the last time to return to the village - after tonight, he is going to take the old lady into Beijing to enjoy the blessings, before the lead, in order to show the care of the brothers on the Zhuangzi on weekdays for their own mother, Liu Qi is very bold to shoot out 20 yuan, let the brothers purchase a lot of wine and food, banquet up and down the village, no, the genius is just dark, The big guy was envious of Liu Qi's appearance, and secondly, he also took advantage of the Lantern Festival to be lively, so naturally they all let go of the drink, and all the old and young in the village gathered in the martial arts arena in the village to drink heartily.

"Come, drink, drink, drink...... Pain, pleasure! Liu Qi was already drunk and dizzy, but he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and he shouted upside down and drank very happily, and the villagers who were full of Zhuangzi were also drinking happily, shouting loudly, and they didn't forget to pay tribute to Liu Qi.

"Brother, brother, today, today, happy, big guy drink, drink, drink!" Liu Qiyi raised his head and poured a bowl of wine into his mouth, waving the wine bowl, shouting blindly with a big tongue, and his face was full of pride.

"Qi'er, don't drink anymore, I'm drunk, I have to hurry tomorrow morning." Liu Li looked at his son's drunken state with happy eyes, and reminded him with a smile.

"Mother, I, I'm not, it's okay, and I can still drink, drink." Liu Qi was drinking, how could he stop, picked up the wine bowl again, and wanted to drink again with the brothers who came to toast, but at the moment of drinking, Liu Qi suddenly palpitated, and suddenly stopped the big sea bowl that had been sent to his mouth, his hand shook, and the wine was spilled on the table, and a group of brothers on the side suddenly laughed. Covering the unprepared crowd, screams suddenly rang out, the table overturned the chairs and collapsed, and the whole banquet scene suddenly became a mess.

Liu Qi drank too much, but the military quality was still there, at the beginning of the incident, he had already noticed that something was wrong, as soon as he heard the sound of the bowstring, he immediately threw down the wine bowl without hesitation, picked up the old lady next to him and hid under the table. According to Liu Qi's skills, even if the arrow rain is more dense, he can be fine, but it is a pity that he drank a little higher, although he has made the right response, it is a pity that the action is still half a beat slower, but he feels a pain in his shoulder, and a feather arrow has come out of his chest, and Liu Qi can't help screaming in pain.

"Qi'er, you, what's wrong with you?" In the midst of an exclamation, Liu Li suddenly noticed that there was a hot liquid flowing on his face, and hurriedly screamed.

"Mother, I'm fine." Liu Qi knew that he was seriously injured, but he was worried about Liu Li's family, so he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he changed the topic and said: "Mother, don't make a noise for a while, the child will take you out." ”

Before Liu Li could answer, he heard a cold shout from the miserable howl of the wounded: "Go! Not a single one to stay! Suddenly, a group of black-clothed people rushed out from all directions, the bright knife in their hands flashed the light of death in the moonlight, this group of people were all ruthless and silent, but the hands were extremely fierce, and they killed people when they saw them, but when they saw the knife circling, the old and young people were cut down to the ground one by one, and the thick black blood flowed all over the ground, and it looked so dazzling under the moonlight!

Most of the men in the mill village are military households, brave martial arts is not Xiao said, although suddenly attacked the mind, but once the fight started, but also did not show weakness, benches, table legs have all become fighting weapons, but unfortunately the number of people is small, the second to the weapon and do not take advantage of the hand, the third to the martial arts is also worse than the other party boss of a section, although desperate fighting, but how can it be blocked, but just a hand, they have fallen.

Chaos, there was a panic everywhere, blood was flying, screams, the impact of weapons, and shouts were intertwined, just like a sea of blood, Liu Qi did not participate in the chaotic battle, a pair of bloody eyes calmly observed the chaos on the battlefield, looking for an opportunity to break through, where did the enemy come from Liu Qi didn't want to care, and he didn't want to know, he knew very well that there would only be one chance to break through, if he couldn't break through, it would be the result of dying on the spot, so he didn't dare to move a little, just lowered his body and hid under a table, A pair of hands hugged the frightened old lady.

Well, this is the time! Liu Qi suddenly found that there was a trace of space in the northwest corner, Liu Qiyi, who didn't dare to wait any longer, broke the arrow shaft behind him, shouted in a low voice, and put the old lady on his shoulder, and rushed towards the northwest corner with a force under his feet, and rushed towards the northwest corner as if he was flying, dodging the slashing swords along the way, and kept rushing under his feet, and when he was about to break out of the encirclement, a loud shout rang out from the chaotic army: "Stop him!" Suddenly, four or five black-clothed people flew out of the shadows, and they caught up behind Liu Qi in a few ups and downs like big birds.

Oops! Although Liu Qi didn't look back, just by scanning the corners of his eyes to the figures jumping in the air, he knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to get out, his heart sank, and when he was hesitating how to fight hard, he saw that Liu Lishi, who was originally frightened by this chaotic battle, suddenly let go of the hand holding Liu Qi's neck, sat down on the ground desperately, and shouted: "Qi'er, go quickly!" Leave it alone! Fast! ”

"Mother!" Liu Qi was anxious to pull the old lady up, but at this moment, a black shadow fell from the sky, and a snowy knife light slashed, and Liu Li, who was struggling, was immediately split into two, and the black blood suddenly rushed up, splashing Liu Qi's head and face.

"Mother!" Liu Qi's eyes suddenly turned red, roared angrily, and pounced towards the man in black who was also swamping his head and face because of blood, the murderous aura of the original blood battle god martial arts immediately reappeared, and the man in black who was unprepared for a while was beaten by Liu Qi's old punch and was dizzy, pitiful a master, before he even understood what was going on, Liu Qi snatched the knife and was cut into a stick.

"Ah......" Liu Qi slashed the black-clothed master to death several times in succession, looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, and wanted to pounce on the several masters who were stunned by Liu Qi's madness.

Seeing Liu Qi's appearance like a mad tiger, everyone's momentum was suddenly suffocated, how could they play with a madman, and they were busy retreating, but they didn't expect Liu Qi's pounce to be a complete bluff, as soon as they saw everyone retreating, they immediately turned around and rushed towards the darkness, and when the gang of masters came to their senses, Liu Qi had long since disappeared.

"Bastard! Pursue! In any case, the man must not be allowed to escape, notify the periphery, and be sure to intercept this thief! The master at the head saw that Liu Qi was running away, and immediately shouted loudly, and several black-clothed masters didn't care about the fight that was nearing the end of the martial arts arena, they made a promise, rose to the sky, and rushed towards the outside of the village separately.

Why? Why? What is this for? Liu Qi's heart was full of anger, he didn't understand why Nian Zhuang had to suffer such a catastrophe, he hated, he couldn't wait to rush out, fight to the death with that group of thieves, but he couldn't, he wanted to leave this old lady who died tragically to avenge the death of hundreds of lives, so he could only endure it, Liu Qiqiang, who was hiding in the ditch outside the village, held back the grief in his heart, stared at the flickering torches in the distance with blood-red eyes, trying to see the appearance of those thieves clearly, but unfortunately the distance was farther, except for some shadows and shadows shaking, Liu Qi couldn't see anything, but now that the shouting and killing in the village had stopped, and there was a heavily guarded faction outside the village, Liu Qi had no other choice than desperately ducking down and hiding.

Army? How can it be the army? Liu Qi poked out half of his head from the ditch, but saw that the people with torches who had walked close were all heavily armed soldiers, and immediately gasped, I didn't understand, Liu Qi couldn't figure out why the army came to Tuzhuang, but unfortunately it was far away, Liu Qi couldn't see the appearance of those soldiers at all, nor could he see the military flags hidden in the darkness, let alone what was in the huge boxes carried by those soldiers, but Liu Qi was very clear, These troops definitely have an ulterior secret when they come here, and as for whether they can uncover this secret, it depends on whether they can live to see His Royal Highness King Yue.

Your Highness, by the way, only Your Highness can be the master of this matter! As soon as he thought of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, Liu Qi's heart suddenly became lively, he absolutely believed in the king of Yue, and believed that His Royal Highness could avenge this blood feud for him, of course, the premise was that he could live to report the incident to His Royal Highness.

To live, to live! Liu Qi, who was losing more and more blood, shook his head vigorously to prevent himself from falling into a coma. Just as he was thinking about a plan to break through, he suddenly heard that many people were approaching in the direction of Zhuangzi, and Liu Qi knew that these people must have been found along the bloodstains shed by himself.

Hide, it's already impossible to hide, how can such a shallow ditch hide your body, as long as those pursuers get closer, you can find it immediately, escape, but there is nowhere to escape, the ground is empty outside, not to mention the crops, even the weeds have never been one, listening to the sound of shouting getting closer and closer, Liu Qi's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Fight! Liu Qi saw that there was no way out, and immediately made a heart, quietly stuck to the bottom of the ditch, carefully moved his body, and moved in the direction of the village entrance, and just raised his head, he saw an officer in the costume of a lieutenant riding on a horse, smiling his subordinates, not realizing that Liu Qi had sneaked to his side.

Golden opportunity! Liu Qi was overjoyed, did not dare to delay any longer, quickly got up, shouted, pulled the officer off the horse, but he jumped on the horse, and while everyone was at a loss and did not know what was happening, he turned the horse's head and rushed out towards the oblique spur......

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, it was the time of the Lantern Festival, although it did not snow, but the sky was still cold, even if he was wearing a thick cotton jacket, standing outside the house for a while, it was enough to freeze people into a popsicle, but Li Zhen didn't care about such a little cold, he got up early in the morning, only dressed in single clothes, and set up a posture in the yard, fists and feet, guns, and swords played several times, and he was already covered in hot sweat, which was his habit for many years. Li Zhen really wanted to ride the snow dragon horse to the martial arts arena to play marksmanship.

Poetry club, bullshit stuff! As soon as he thought of the poetry meeting, Li Zhen threw the long sword in his hand to the weapon shelf angrily, and ignored the towels sent by a few maids waiting beside him, so he walked into the bathhouse sweating profusely. ”

Yan Eighteen has been with Li Zhen for many years, most of his martial arts are taught by Li Zhen himself, he has always known Li Zhen's personality, seeing that Li Zhen was a little unhappy, he didn't dare to delay, stuck out his tongue, trotted all the way into the hall, looked at Li Zhen with a strange face, but did not speak.

Well? What kind of demon moth is this stinky boy? Li Zhen glanced at Yan Eighteen, waved his hand and said, "Wait for all to retreat!" The gang of subordinates who were preparing hot water for Li Zhen hurriedly responded and withdrew.

"Anyway, what's so mysterious? If you don't tell me why, be careful that this king has skinned you. Li Zhen glanced at Yan Shiba, who was full of mischievous faces, and scolded with a smile.

"Yes, Your Highness." Yan Shibai saw that everyone had left, and immediately put away the hippie smile on his face, and said with a gloomy face: "Your Highness, something big has happened." ”

"Huh? What's the big deal? Say! As soon as Li Zhen heard the big thing, her heart suddenly sank, and she hurriedly asked.

"Your Highness, do you remember Liu Qi and Liu Teamzheng in the house?" Yan Eighteen hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Liu Qi?" Li Zhen frowned, and said without thinking: "Remember, this person is a subordinate of this king, and he also saved the life of this king in the first battle of Shenwu before, well, didn't he say a few days ago that he was going home to visit his mother?" What, did he get into trouble? ”

Yan Shibai slowly shook his head and said: "Liu Qi ran to the 'Yan Ji Factory' on a bloody horse early this morning, after his subordinates got the news, they had already rushed to inquire, this person was seriously injured, and he was about to die, and he kept shouting to see His Highness and ask him what was wrong, but he refused to say." ”

"What?" When Li Zhen heard this, he suddenly became anxious, grabbed Yan Shiba's chest and shouted: "Go, prepare the horse, this king will go and see!" Yan Shibai didn't expect Li Zhen's reaction to be so big, and he was suddenly startled, hurriedly answered, rushed out of the bathhouse, and went to arrange for no mention of people.

Fuck, there are still people in Chang'an City who dare to touch Lao Tzu, shit, don't you want to live? Li Zhen has always protected his subordinates, and when he heard that Liu Qi was seriously injured, the fire in his heart jumped up, and he didn't take a bath, wrapped the fox fur jacket around his body, and hurriedly planned to go out.

"Your Highness, what are you ......" Na Long saw that Li Zhen's face was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

Li Zhen waved his hand, signaling that Na Long didn't need to say more, and said as he walked out: "Oh, the two gentlemen came just in time, this king is planning to send someone to invite the two, since they are both here, let's go around the workshop outside the city together, and it's not too late to talk about everything when it's done." ”

Na Long and Mo Li couldn't persuade Li Zhen, and they didn't know what happened, they glanced at each other, and silently followed Li Zhen out of the palace, and the group turned over and rushed towards the "Yanji Factory" outside the city.

"Your Royal Highness, you have to be the master of the small one, the small one is wronged, the mill village, the mill village, the mill village......" As soon as Li Zhen and the others entered the door, Liu Qi, who was lying on the bed, anxiously wanted to stand up, and kept talking.

"This king is here, if you have something to say, this king will make decisions for you!" Li Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Liu Qi's body, and the True Yang Jue in his body worked, tested Liu Qi's injury, and found that although Liu Qi was seriously injured, he was not worried about his life, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said in a gentle tone. With tears in his eyes, Liu Qi told the story of the incident, and his words focused on describing the every move of that strange army.

Milling? Army slaughter? How is this possible? When Li Zhen heard this, he was dumbfounded, knowing that this place was at the foot of the sky, how could such a strange thing happen, his brows immediately furrowed tightly, he thought about it, and asked, "Liu Qi, have you looked carefully?"

"Your Highness, the little one is absolutely right, the little one also grabbed a horse, just outside." Liu Qi saw that Li Zhen didn't believe it very much, so he hurriedly said.

"Where's the horse?" Li Zhen asked without replying.

Yan Qi, the head of the Yanji Factory, squeezed out of the crowd and said with a strange expression: "Your Highness, the horse is still there, but the brand on the horse is the emblem of the East Palace." ”

What the? It turned out to be the boss who did it? How so? When Li Zhen heard this, her brows tightened, and she fell silently into deep thought......
