There were bursts of scolding from outside the mansion gate, and the government soldiers and Cai Zhong confronted each other, swords and guns.

"I am ordered by Sima to protect the lord and the government, and if anyone dares to stand in the way, he will be killed."

Cai Zhong was originally ordered to guard the south gate, but just now Cai Mao sent someone to report that Liu Pan rebelled and asked him to come and protect the government and guard Liu Biao.

Who knew that when he arranged the city defense and came with his troops again, Liu Qi had already entered the mansion and was about to break in.

"Stop!" Liu Qi broke off his drink, strode out of the door, and looked at the soldiers crowding the streets, his eyes were cold.

Liu Qi took out the seal ribbon and said slowly: "My father has ordered me to take charge of Jingzhou, who dares to disobey?" ”

Seeing the big seal and the golden order in Liu Pan's hand, all the soldiers were in a commotion and unconsciously put away their swords and guns.

Cai Zhong's eyes were flustered, and he raised his sword and shouted: "The lord is seriously ill, Liu Qi must have stolen the Great Seal and plotted against him to usurp the throne, take him down quickly!" ”

The soldiers looked at each other, except for dozens of generals of the Cai family, who took a few steps forward, and the rest were hesitating.

Liu Qi snorted slightly, strode out of the door, and said in a deep voice: "Cai Mao designed to kill the emperor's uncle, intending to force the palace to seize power, your brother is embarrassed, and his crime should be punished." ”

Cai Zhong looked at Liu Qi's murderous eyes, and unconsciously took a step back, "Da Lang, you ...... What do you want? ”

Liu Qi said coldly: "This is the seal of General Zhennan, seeing that Yin Ru's father is coming, you still don't kneel?" ”

The corners of Cai Zhong's eyes twitched, and he heard the sound of fighting in the distance much quieter, presumably Cai Mao had pacified the rebellious army, and his courage grew stronger.

"Da Lang, you must be coercing the lord, when my eldest brother comes, he has seen the general, and everything will fall into place......"

Without waiting for Cai Zhong to finish speaking, Liu Qi raised his seal and shouted: "Cai's power bully the lord and kill Uncle Liu Huang, his crime should be punished!" If you don't want to be implicated by him, quickly take down this traitor and atone for your sins. ”

Cai Zhong turned around sharply, and said sharply: "I see who dares!" ”

"I'm coming!" Before the words fell, he saw a person rushing out of the oblique stab and raising his knife to slash at Cai Zhong.

Cai Zhong was shocked, and hurriedly raised his sword to parry, only to hear a clanging sound, and the sword flew out.

In the midst of the man's heavy shouting, he flew up and kicked Cai Zhong over, stepped forward and stepped on his chest, and pointed the tip of the knife at Cai Zhong's face.

Liu Qi looked at it and saw that the man was eight feet tall, with a face like a heavy jujube, and a mustache under his chin, and his heart couldn't help jumping.

Cai Zhong shouted sharply: "Wei Yan, you are so bold. ”

Sure enough, it was Wei Yan, it turned out that he was still in Xiangyang, no wonder Huang Zhong hadn't seen it.

In the excitement, I only heard Wei Yan sneer: "Your brother deceived his superiors and subordinates, used people unknown, and deducted food and salary!" Now he has murdered the emperor's uncle, the crime is extremely heinous, we are under the command of General Zhennan, not the eagle dog of your Cai family, how can I let you do evil? ”

This is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

First of all, Liu Bei saved himself from a lot of trouble, and Wei Yan took the initiative to send it to the door, which was like divine help.

Such a dream start is like a traverser blessed by luck, Liu Bei is a true son of heaven, in front of the son of my plane, he is nothing!

"Well said!" Liu Qi was so happy that he almost laughed, and took the opportunity to say loudly: "I am General Zhennan, and I still don't want to retreat?" ”

Cai Zhong was controlled, and the soldiers behind him were in an uproar, many people retreated, and only a few were still hesitating.

Liu Qi suddenly saw a white shadow flickering on the corner of the street, it was Zhao Yun who led the troops back, this was an opportunity to pretend to be forced in front of the two famous generals.

No more nonsense, he directly stepped forward and snatched the weapon from Wei Yan's hand, and slashed down with a knife in his hand.

The blade slashed through a brilliant light in the setting sun, and with a soft snort, the head rolled out.

In an instant, not only Wei Yan's eyes widened, but even Liu Pan behind him was stunned.

Everyone didn't expect that Liu Qi would dare to kill Cai Zhong, and he would kill so decisively and ruthlessly.

Cai Zhong's head rolled to the side, his eyes widened, and the corpse's neck was bubbling with blood and sneering.

The hot blood splashed on Liu Qi's legs, but he was unmoved, raised his knife and shouted: "If there are any more disobedient people, cut them!" ”

Whoa—

In an instant, the soldiers brought by Cai Zhong, along with Liu Pan's subordinates, all fell to their knees.

Only a dozen Cai family generals were still stunned, and Liu Qi snorted coldly: "Chop!" ”

The soldiers behind him swarmed up and hacked those generals to death, and if they didn't behave well, they wouldn't have a chance.

Outside the door of the mansion, there was a river of blood, Liu Qi held the knife, the blood slid down the handle of the knife, his hands were slimy, he resisted the urge to vomit, gritted his teeth and held on.

On the street in the distance, Zhao Yun watched this scene quietly on his horse, and he must not admit it at this time.

When night fell, Liu Qi was covered in blood, and the soldiers around him knelt down one by one, like a killing god.

After a short silence, Liu Qi leaned over to help Wei Yan and said to everyone: "Wei Yan is a loyal and righteous man, and now he has been promoted to Zhonglang General. ”

The soldiers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and got up with Wei Yan to thank him.

Liu Qi instructed Wei Yan: "Immediately lead troops to arrest the Cai family and the party, and seal up the Cai Mansion, there must be no mistake!" ”

"Yes!" Wei Yan walked away quickly with the indignant soldiers, and it was finally time to clean up the Cai family.

Liu Pan let out a sigh of relief, if he was a little careless just now, there would be a mutiny, and praised: "Da Lang, well done!" ”

Liu Qi turned around and smiled: "Mrs. Cai was frightened today, so she sent someone to boil some porridge with her heart to suppress her shock." ”

"Understood!" Liu Pan understood and ordered the soldiers to clean up the streets.

Liu Qi ordered someone to take Cai Zhong's head and walk towards Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun saw this, turned over and dismounted from a distance, and stood bent.

"General Zilong, fortunately, my uncle helped us in the dark, so that we can get revenge!"

Zhao Yun's eyes were still red, and when he heard this, he suddenly knelt on the ground: "Zhao Yun thanked the general!" ”

"Hurry up, please!" Liu Qi hurriedly supported Zhao Yun and said, "I promised my uncle that I would treat all my fathers and grandparents, and the bow ceremony would be waived." ”

Zhao Yun got up silently, looked at the head that was still dripping blood, and gritted his teeth with a creak.

Liu Qi said: "It's getting late, tonight I will bury my uncle first, and tomorrow morning I will go back to Xinye with you, bring the dog head of Brother Cai Mao, and explain the situation." ”

"But by the general's orders!" Zhao Yun took a deep breath.

This time, Liu Bei was not well guarded, his heart was like a knife, and he was extremely painful, and he didn't know how to face Guan Zhang and his two wives

Liu Qi sent someone to buy a good coffin and temporarily set up a mourning hall in a deserted courtyard in the east of the city to let Zhao Yun and those guards rest.

Back in the mansion, Kuai Yue, Liu Xian and all the officials were standing neatly under the corridor, and some people didn't even dare to look at Liu Qi.

The dim night covered up everyone's uneasy expressions, and many people saw the scene outside the door just now.

Kuai Yue took the lead and stepped forward to salute: "I'll see the general!" ”

"Excuse me!" Liu Qi nodded when he saw Yi Yuan, and knew that Liu Biao had basically handed over power.

It happened that the big and small officials were there, so they had to notify them one by one, and said to everyone: "Cai Mao plotted to kill the imperial family, and he has been ambushed!" But Liu Yuanjun was killed, and I am afraid that Cao Cao will take the opportunity to attack. The war is about to start, and you will return to your stations as soon as possible tomorrow to appease the army and the people, and we should fight Cao with one heart. ”

Everyone's expressions changed again, they were all still immersed in today's changes, but they didn't expect Liu Qi to think of Cao Cao and see it so long-term.

Thinking of Liu Qi's previous performance, everyone decided in their hearts that he had been dormant for many years, and he was lying on his salary to taste his courage and wait for the opportunity.

Kuai Yue's eyes flickered, and he even suspected that this matter was a bitter ploy designed by his father and son a long time ago.

Cai's was sentenced with a thunderous momentum, will it be the turn of the Kuai family next?

The officials went back to the hall to rest, and Wen Ping and Wang Wei had already stabilized the soldiers in the city and detained all Cai Mao's troops.

Liu Qi personally received them, promoted the two to Yamen generals on the spot, gave them wine and condolences, rewarded 20,000 yuan, ten silk cloths, and the soldiers in the army were rewarded.

Although Cai Mao bought Zhang Yun, he ignored that although these two people usually acted on orders, they were loyal to Liu Biao, not his generals.

On this day, the situation in Xiangyang changed, especially the changes in Liu Qi, which made many people sleepless all night.
