Chapter 21 City Gate Confrontation

The meal was very rich. Liu Biao was also very enthusiastic, but Liu Qi was uncomfortable eating. Liu Qi was relieved when he finally came out of the state pastoral government after dinner.

Looking at the dark sky, Liu Qi was very confused. He didn't know what Liu Biao's meal meant. If you want to express your love for him, Liu Qi doesn't believe it at all.

Since you spoil him, how can you ignore him for so long? If it had been the original Liu Qi, I'm afraid he would have been in a mess, but he was not Liu Qi before.

But Liu Qi can't think of the reason why Liu Biao did this. Even if he balances the power between him and Liu Cong, he doesn't have to be so troublesome. After thinking for a long time, Liu Qi didn't come up with a reason. He looked at the darkness not far away. Liu Qi sighed, "I'm afraid that the officials in Xiangyang City will know that Liu Biao will leave me to eat in the house soon."

"It seems that I have found a counselor, but it's a pity that Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are all meetable but not available. Otherwise, I can find one to solve my problems." Looking at Ma Zhong not far away, Liu Qi smiled and said, "Zhengping is anxious."

Ma Zhong was happy to see Liu Qi come out and said, "No, just come out."

Liu Qi did not take a carriage but rode a horse to walk side by side with Ma Zhong. At first, Ma Zhong disagreed and thought it was dangerous for Liu Qi to do so, but Liu Qi said that he did not have to worry about the martial law in Xiangyang City before he agreed.

Liu Qi, who was riding on the horse, suddenly lifted the man in black last night, turned his head and looked at Ma Zhong and said, "Zhengping, what do you think of those people in black yesterday?"

Ma Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Lord, those people in black should be dead men trained by some people, specially used for assassination and information."

"Oh, can Zhengping be cultivated?" Liu Qi asked.

"Master, it's difficult to train a dead man. I don't have that ability. I think that the leader last night was a master in the late stage of bone quenching, which could not be cultivated. Nowadays, most of the dead men directly recruited some people with martial arts background from the world, and then they can become dead after strict training. Ma Zhong was a little ashamed.

"Oh, can't martial arts be divided?" When Liu Qi heard Ma Zhong say that in the later stage of bone quenching, there were naturally other realms. It seems that there are still many things that the Three Kingdoms don't know.

"Well, I heard my master say that martial arts are divided into quenching, acquired, congenital and other realms. Each realm is divided into the first, middle and late stages. The quenching of bones is the initial refinement of oneself, the achievement of a certain degree of toughness by one's own body, and mostly the exercise of one's own strength. The day after tomorrow is to further temper your body on the basis of hardening your bones. Not only is your muscles and bones more flexible and your strength will be further increased, but you should also integrate your own strength and exert your greatest strength. As for the innate, I don't know, but I heard that the innate is to exceed its own limit to make its own power flow continuously for a period of time. Ma Zhong explained.

"Oh, there are so many realms in martial arts, so what level have you reached now?" Liu Qi looked at Ma Zhong and asked. Now, Ma Zhong is the person with the highest martial arts skills under him. Gan Ning is not his subordinates at this time. Liu Pan and Lv Jie are not as good as Ma Zhong.

"My subordinates, now it is only the later stage of bone quenching, and there is only a line away from the acquired realm. But it is difficult to break through the force. Some people are stuck in the bottleneck all their lives and can't break through. At the end of Ma Zhong's words, his expression was a little low. He has been stuck in the late quenching period for three years. His master once told him that if there was no special experience, it would be difficult to break through.

"It doesn't matter. You are still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities to charge on the battlefield in the future." Liu Qi comforted.

"Master, I don't know if I should talk about something?" Ma Zhong recovered quickly, but he seemed to remember something.

"But it doesn't matter." Liu Qi was very confused about what Ma Zhong wanted to say, and it seemed that he still had some scruples about him.

"Does the lord know the origin of Zhang Bo?" Ma Zhong asked.

"Zhang Bo has been with me since he was a child. You might as well say that I won't blame you." Liu Qi remembered that Zhang Bo casually hit the arrow rain last night and vaguely knew what Ma Zhong was going to say. Speaking of which, he is also quite curious about Zhang Bo. From the memory of 'Liu Qi', Zhang Bo is just an ordinary old man, but now it seems that Zhang Bo is really unusual.

"I can't see through Zhang Bo. At least he is a master in the later stage of the acquired realm. Brother Gan Ning is a master in the middle stage of the acquired realm, and he can't see through Zhang Bo." Ma Zhong said carefully, obviously afraid that Liu Qi would be angry.

Liu Qi was a little shocked. He asked Ma Zhong to say that Gan Ning was in the middle of the acquired realm. Gan Ning was first-class among the generals in the Three Kingdoms period. Now an old man beside him is a master in the late stage of the acquired realm. Liu Qi can't believe it. What's more, Zhang Bo is a master in the later stage of the acquired realm. Why did he stay by his side and be a driver? But he doesn't believe that Zhang Bo has a plan. He knows his own affairs, and there is nothing worth thinking about. If Zhang Bo wants to do it, he will do it long ago. Why wait until today?

Turning his head and seeing Ma Zhong looking at him uneasily, Liu Qi took a breath and said, "Zhengping, don't worry. You did a good job. Although I don't know Zhang Bo's identity, I don't think Zhang Bo has any malice. If I'm afraid I can't live today, I can feel that his love for me is not fake.

Ma Zhong was relieved to see that Liu Qi did not blame him.

"Driving..." The sound of urging the horse came from the distance.

"Master, go back to the carriage quickly." When Ma Zhong heard Cui's scolding, he was afraid that the assassin persuaded Liu Qi.

"It doesn't matter. This can't be an assassin." Liu Qi waved his hand and said.

In a while, I saw a horse coming. At this time, it must be important to ride a horse in Xiangyang City. Liu Qi was about to make way when he heard a shout, "Lord, something happened."

Ma Zhong's sharp eyes have seen the person clearly: "It's Lv Jie." Lu Jie stayed at the mansion today as the deputy commander of the bodyguard.

...................

The unimpeded gate of Xiangyang South Gate was congested at this time, and two groups of people were holding each other at the gate.

One side was dressed in silver and white armor, holding a long gun and just blocked the gate of the flying tiger army, while the other side was more than 800 people wearing brocade clothes and looking at the opposite Flying Tiger Army with an angry face.

"Cai Yun, you'd better get out of the way today, or don't blame me for being rude." Liu Pan rode on the horse and looked at Cai Yundao, who was blocking the road. Today, Liu Qi went to discuss the matter and didn't come back, but Gan Ning's 800 rode arrived. So Liu Pan and Gan Ning came to lead people into the city, but they didn't expect to meet Liu Pan's old friend Cai Yun.

Cai Yun looked at Liu Pan with an upright face and said, "Now Xiangyang City is under martial law. These human figures are suspicious and can't let them into the city." After saying that, he looked happy. This was the first time he let Liu Pan suffer in front of him.

When Liu Pan saw Cai Yun like this, he naturally knew that he was taking private revenge and said angrily, "Cai Yun, I tell you that these are all the people my eldest brother invited. Today, you have to go to the city whether you like it or not. You want to take personal revenge, but you use the wrong place. If you get out of the way now, I don't care about you today, or you can really fight later. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If Liu Pan had taken action in the past, but so many things happened to Liu Qi these days, he didn't want to cause trouble to Liu Qi because of himself.

Hearing Liu Pan say to do it, Cai Yun's face twitched and then returned to normal. A grudge flashed in his eyes and said, "Liu Pan, you are just a follower of Lord Zhou Mu. I didn't care about you before. It was for Lord Zhou Mu's face, but today if you dare to do it, I will dare to kill you with the crime of conspiracy. . " After saying that, he waved his hand behind him and said, "Be alert."

With Cai Yun's order, the flying tiger army behind him held their long guns high and was ready.

Liu Pan was furious and was about to come forward. Fortunately, Gan Ning grabbed him and said, "Don't be excited. Let's wait until the eldest son comes." Gan Ning knew that if Liu Pan really took action, Cai Yun really dared to kill them, because a trace of pride flashed in Cai Yun's eyes at the moment Liu Pan rushed out.

He was luring Liu Pan to do it. Gan Ning's heart was slightly shocked and grabbed Liu Pan, who was about to take action.

Although Liu Pan had a bad temper, he still admired Gan Ning. Although he didn't know why Gan Ning pulled him, he stopped.

Cai Yun was disappointed to see that Liu Pan did not do it. It is a capital crime to attack the gate during martial law. Even if you kill him, no one will be prosecuted. As for offending Liu Qi, what if the enemy has been offended? There is Cai behind him. Even if Liu Qi wants to touch him, it is not easy for him.

Wu Xiong looked at this scene and sighed in his heart. It seemed that the situation in Xiangyang City was more complicated than he expected.

Turning his head and looked at the 800 horses behind him, Wu Xiong saw the anger in their eyes. Eight hundred people stared at Cai Yun like a group of wolves staring at their prey. But no one did it. Wu Xiong's words made them have to restrain their desire to do it. For Gan Ning, for themselves.

"Who is going to kill Pandi?" The cold tone allowed anyone to hear the chill in the words. After listening to Lv Jie's words, Liu Qi and he knew that someone was making it, afraid that Liu Pan would suffer losses. He immediately came with Ma Zhong. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he heard that someone was going to kill Liu Pan. How not to be angry?

Liu Qi drove his horse to Cai Yun and asked, "Are you going to kill my brother Pan?"

Cai Yun didn't expect Liu Qi to arrive so soon, but he didn't panic and said, "No, I'm just reminding him. Now there is chaos in Xiangyang City. It's not appropriate for him to take a group of strangers into the city. I can't afford it if something happens."

Cai Yun avoided the importance and shirked for himself. Liu Qi couldn't understand. Liu Biao's acceptance of Gan Ning is now well known. Since he still has to embarrass Liu Pan here. If there is no Cai Mao and others to help him, how can Cai Yun believe that Liu Pan is plotting against him and how dares to refuse Gan Ning to enter the city.

Liu Qi had been ready for the confrontation with Cai, but she didn't expect it to come so soon. And I didn't expect that Cai would also install someone in the Flying Tiger Army.

"Oh, so General Cai is really loyal and patriotic. Gan Zhuangshi came to my father in Xiangyang and agreed. You actually blocked him and clearly wanted to put his father in an unjust place. Who gave you so much courage? Brother Pan came to greet you with private revenge and framed Brother Pan's rebellion. Who gave you so boldness? Brother Pan came to greet me by my order. Do you think he is also going to say that he is planning a rebellion and kill me? Who gave you so boldness?" Liu Qi said in the end. Since you are going to be my enemy, I will bring you a big hat. I don't think Cai will guarantee you.
