If Cai Mao is secretly informed by the old soldier, the whereabouts of the cremated corpses in the Luanshigang Cemetery are leaked, Liu Zhong and his party will die without a place to bury them, and Liu Qi will also be wiped out, and Cai Mao will even be angered to provoke Liu Biao and lead to an armed mutiny In this case, the success or failure is only at the moment of lightning, and Liu Zhong, who has always been politically keen, has a premonition of the seriousness of the situation.

There is no need to think too much, for the son Liu Qi, Liu Zhong is willing to kill as many people as possible. He didn't want to hurt the old soldiers who fulfilled their duties at the city gate, but the old soldiers are stubborn and want to block the son's way, and seek their own death That's all.

Liu Zhong's fierce light came out, and with a wave of his long sword, he ordered Chen Wu, who was holding the sword in a rage: "Chen Wu, Chen Chun, kill and release the suspension bridge."

Chen Wu responded, without hesitation, drew out his bow and arrow, and galloped his horse forward to chase after the old soldier who wanted to tell the truth secretly. He bent the bow and set the arrow on the horse's back, and only heard a swish sound, and a bamboo arrow with a pointed iron arrowhead went straight into the old soldier. Then he shot another arrow towards the old city guard who was stunned and ordered to inform the police. The two old soldiers died before they even had time to call for help. To the end of their lives, they could not believe that Liu Biao, the lord of the city, had ended up being arrested. The tragic ending of Liu Biao's men shooting and killing.

When Chen Chun saw Chen Wu drawing his sword, he jumped up the tower and quickly put down the suspension bridge.

Liu Zhong glared at the small soldiers at the city gate, he didn't want to kill them in vain, but fortunately the two young soldiers were quite smart, so they pushed open the city gate tremblingly without Liu Zhong stopping to drink.

I saw with my own eyes that Chen Wu rode his horse and shot and killed the old soldiers at the city gate. His murderous intentions were revealed at the slightest disagreement. If you know the current affairs, you may lose your life.

Just when Liu Zhong opened the city gate, fortunately, it was already dark, and there were no pedestrians near the city gate, except for the two young soldiers guarding the city gate, and the old soldier who had been shot and killed by Chen Wu who stayed behind to open the drawbridge. There are other sergeants, but no one has seen their whereabouts.

Perhaps it was because the soldiers guarding the city gate at night had not yet taken over when they arrived at the garrison; perhaps Cai Mao, who was alert, thought that there was a front-line guard who camped outside the city all the year round, and arranged for a few guards to open and close the city gate and hang the suspension bridge at the city gate. Just die.However, Cai Hao never expected that someone would dare to kill the city gate guards to rebel.

The suspension bridge was leveled and the city gate was opened. Liu Zhong quickly swung his horse and approached the city gate, and asked the little soldier, "Can you see it?"

"Look, look, I saw it." A younger guard trembled and couldn't speak.

"Hmph..." Liu Zhong snorted, and made a gesture to draw his sword out of its sheath, which made the slurred pawn turn pale with fright.

"The butler calm down, the younger ones didn't see anything." Seeing that the situation was not going well, a more experienced guard quickly replied.

"Well, that's very good." Liu Zhong nodded, pointing at the more experienced guard with a sullen face and asked, "When will you be patrolling the city?"

"The first watch patrols the city, and every watch patrols."

"Do you have a password?"

"Foolish ribs." The guard hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the murderous Liu Zhong and others. The password for guarding the city is a secret in the army, and if it is leaked, it is a death penalty. tell.

"I'm sorry." After the guard replied, Liu Zhong swiped two swords. Before the gate guard realized what was going on, his soul returned to the west. When the sword touched his heart, the more mature soldiers didn't understand the city until they died. The door has been opened, and they all told the truth why they still cannot escape death.

Liu Zhong looked down on the rebel soldiers the most. Relatively speaking, the old soldiers at the top of the city are respectable for their dedication to their duties. In fact, the old soldiers can let Liu Zhong out of the city first. After all, Liu Zhong is Liu Biao's close minister. It can be original, and then quickly tell Cai Mao to make up for his mistakes, maybe there is still a way to survive.If it weren't for the stupidity of the old soldier, he wouldn't have died unexpectedly.

And the pawns guarding the city gate, no matter whether they can open the city gate, rebel or say the password, will surely die. In order for the burning of the corpse out of the city will not be leaked, it is impossible for Liu Zhong to keep alive.

This was the case in the Three Kingdoms era. The fate of many small people is not in their own hands, but is more controlled by the fate of big people. The old saying that life and death are up to fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, is true for these little people whose lives are like mosquitoes. Unreliable.

The four soldiers guarding the city gate, old and young, were dead, and the carriages carrying the maid's body and cremation materials could go out of the city unimpeded. But since Liu Zhong dared to kill the guards in a hurry, he must have a countermeasure.

I saw Liu Zhong looked up at the sky, it was the end of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the sky was covered with overcast clouds, there were no stars and moons, and the entire city of Xiangyang was shrouded in a huge night. Although no one noticed that the guards were rushed out of the city, it probably couldn't be hidden. how long.

Although the night temporarily concealed Liu Zhong's killing of the soldiers, it would make it easier for people to be surprised when the flames were soaring during the burning of the corpses.

Such a night screen fully reflects the duality of everything, that there are gains and losses, and that there are advantages and disadvantages.

"Chen Xia, Chen Qiu." Liu Zhong turned around and called for the general. Now that the city gate guard is dead, it is urgent to clear the scene quickly.

"Yes, yes." Chen Xia and Chen Qiu responded in a low voice. Just now the two guards didn't feel any fright when Liu Zhongjian stabbed the guard, but just like eating home-cooked meals.

"The two of you quickly drag the old soldiers into the carriage, and don't leave any blood on the tower." After Liu Zhong ordered Chen Xia and Chen Qiu, he called Chen Dong to cooperate with him in dragging the two young guards guarding the city gate into the carrying maid's body. carriage, and dealt with the blood on the ground.

In just a moment, the corpses of the four old and young city guards were loaded into the carriage. Liu Zhong's face was gloomy, and the matter had come to an end. They also disappeared completely, and were cremated with the four maids.

"Chen Wu, Chen Chun, and Chen Dong escorted the carriage out of the city with me." Liu Zhong began to arrange, and then ordered Chen Xia and Chen Qiu: "You two, once we cross the moat, quickly pull up the suspension bridge and close the city gate. Quickly and quietly go back to the mansion and tell the young master to be more careful tonight, so that no one will find his whereabouts, and to be vigilant all night to ensure that the young master is safe."

"Obey, I will serve you with death." Chen Xia and Chen Qiu split up in response. Chen Xia, who had already carried the old soldiers from the tower into the corpse carriage, ran up to the hoisting place of the tower again. Chen Qiu ran directly to the gate of the city. Calmly watched Liu Zhong, Chen Wu, Chen Chun and Chen Dong's carriage and horses leave the city in a hurry.

When the last carriage carrying sulfur, firewood, and several cans of fuel oil for lighting passed by, Chen Xia pulled up the suspension bridge that normally required the cooperation of two old men to pull up, and Chen Qiu did not bother at the gate of the city. With little effort, the tall and heavy city gate was closed.

Chen Qiu led the horse, snapped his fingers at Chen Xia, and saw Chen Xia flying from the tower and leaping onto the horse, and the two of them rode back to the house with Chen Qiu and disappeared in the boundless night, except for the four guards at the gate. The soldiers were missing, the suspension bridge was still hanging, the city gate was still closed, and no one was guarding the city gate, and there was no trace of anyone entering or leaving the city gate.

Chen Xia and Chen Qiu went around a few streets separately, and rushed to Prince Liu Qi's mansion one after another. They saw Chen Wen and ten guards standing outside the gate of the mansion to guard. They saw Chen Xia and Chen Qiu returning quickly. Suddenly feeling bad, Chen Wen said in shock: "Xia Qiu, brothers, didn't you two escort the housekeeper out of the city? Why are you back?"

Dismounting from his horse, Chen Xia said, "Brother Wen, when I went out of the city, I met four guards who blocked me. I will kill them all. The steward has already left the city with Chen Wu and Chen Dong. I ordered my brother to come and tell you. I don't know if you are asleep. almost?

"It's urgent. Brother Xia is going to report it quickly. Brother Qiu stays and tells me in detail to see if there is a good plan to help you." Chen Wen was also anxious, guessing that the butler killed the guards arranged by Cai Mao when he left the city gate. However, I am afraid that going out of the city to burn the corpses may not be smooth sailing. Cai Mao's five hundred soldiers stationed outside the city all the year round are not just eating dry food.

"Yes, Brother Wen." Chen Xia got off his horse and stumbled towards Liu Qi's bedroom, while Chen Dong stayed behind and accompanied Chen Wen to describe in detail what happened at the city gate just now.

Chen Xia called out "Huan'er" to the bedroom next to Liu Qi, then ran quickly to the door of the living room outside the bedroom, stopped suddenly, cleaned up his appearance, and respectfully informed: "Young master, Chen Xia has something urgent to report."

"Come in." After taking the herbal medicine prepared by Hua Tuo's secret recipe, Liu Qi, who was lying on the wooden bed in a drowsy state, suddenly woke up. At this time, Chen Xia came to report, and there must be no good news. I was worried that the butler's burning of the body might be revealed. After all, it was the first major event that Liu Qi did after traveling through the Three Kingdoms, which was related to the fate of all the masters and servants in the prince's mansion, and this major event could not make any mistakes.

Liu Qi didn't bother to put on his shoes and got out of bed before he started walking, as if he remembered something, he turned back and calmly put on his shoes and tidied up his clothes. What a joke, I think I was also a special soldier before I was alive, and the Chairman of Huaxia Kingdom personally received the award How can a country's first-level hero be so ungrateful in the Three Kingdoms?So shameless?How can a person who is easily angered easily achieve great things!

Returning to the reception room, Chen Xia was already standing respectfully at the door, the little girl Huan'er had already held the lamp and stood beside her, Liu Qi was surprisingly calm, and waved her hand at Huan'er, Huan'er bowed and left the dormitory knowingly.

"Sit." After Liu Qi sat down on his knees, he pointed at the front of the table in front of him, and Chen Xia also knelt respectfully opposite Liu Qi.

"Thank you, young master." Chen Xia lowered her head and looked at Liu Qi. In the past, the butler had been in direct contact with Liu Qi. Changing from the sick and idle mental state of the past, Fang Fang sat upright, not angry and majestic, with a majestic demeanor.

"This is the young master that my brother and I want to assist. No wonder the steward always said that the young master is definitely not something in the pool. He strictly taught us to step up our practice at ordinary times. When the young master rises, it must be the time for me to make meritorious deeds and achieve fame." When Chen Xia thought so, his blood boiled with excitement, and he forgot to report to Liu Qi for a moment.

Seeing Chen Xia's complex expression, Liu Qi sat with him for a while, and after Chen Xia calmed down, he asked how the butler's cremation was going.Then Chen Xia told in detail, even the details of wiping the soldiers' blood.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Chen Xia spoke very hastily, but Liu Qi probably understood it, and admired Liu Zhong's adaptability and decisiveness in killing. From Chen Xia's words, he could feel that the guards beside his cousin Liu Zhong were definitely Mediocre.

Liu Qi was secretly happy, happy that with these twenty loyal and brave men in the mansion, he would not be fighting alone when he came to the Three Kingdoms, a small armed force can start a prairie fire.Uncle Liu Zhong is really far-sighted, he has worked hard for Liu Qi, and has a small armed force, which can be regarded as a kind of luck for Liu Qi to travel to the Three Kingdoms.

But despite being happy, Liu Qi still felt that the matter of burning corpses and killing soldiers at the city gate was getting more and more difficult, and the schedule of guarding the city gate suddenly changed. It is not known whether the military order was made by Cai Mao with vigilance or intention.

There is a saying in the book of war: Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.Liu Qi lamented that the information between the enemy and the enemy is not well-informed. It seems that the spies are the key link in winning the battle no matter whether it is ancient or modern.

The information is ineffective and the situation is unclear, so it is not easy to act rashly. Liu Qi was grimly thinking about how to deal with Liu Zhong's murder and burning of his body, when Huan'er's happy female voice came from outside the house: "Young master, Chen Wen is here to see you."
