Chapter 140 A fear

On the river, the big ship of Liu Qi and others is less than 300 miles away from Xiangyang. It only takes two days to rush back to Xiangyang against the current.

Liu Qi is in a hurry to rush back to Xiangyang. In the past few days, the big ships have been non-stop day and night, and the speed has also increased a lot.

Wang Yi, Gan Ning and Wei Yanjin are all here in the cabin. Liu Qi, who was on the seat, looked at several people with a solemn face: "What do you think of this matter?"

Just now, Liu Qi sent Song Zhong who came to greet them. At this time, Song Zhong had been arranged on the first big ship by Wei Yan. The arrival of Song Zhong not only brought the meaning of Liu Biao, but also told Liu Qi about the last battle in the hall.

At the last Liu Biao banquet, Song Zhong (Song Zhongzi) and Pang Degong, Sima Hui attended the banquet as a famous scholar of Jing Xiang. Liu Qi had a good impression of Liu Qi. Therefore, after saying Liu Biao's words, he also talked about the situation above the hall.

Although Liu Qi already knew the final result, he was still frightened when he heard Song Zhong's words, and he was even more careful about Cai Mao.

At the same time, a piece of news came from Yi Ji, telling Liu Qi about their speculation about Cai Mao. Liu Qi should be careful. Liu Qi has never doubted the strength of the Cai family. Therefore, in the past few days, the big ship is loose and tight inside, and the guard is tight. Wang Yi and the three of them are at least two guarding Liu Qi's side and cutting iron. The mud-like Xuanyuan sword is also carried with you.

At this time, Liu Qi had some doubts about whether he should not touch Huang Zu, but Liu Qi did not regret it. Even if he did it again, he would take the opportunity to take Huang Zu down.

A trace of worry flashed in Wang Yi's eyes and said, "Although there are also people who are good at assassination, these people are too far from those assassins who specialize in assassination. Within five steps, they are the world of assassins. Even we are not sure to react in such a short time."

Wei Yan, who was beside him, said, "In this case, it is necessary that other people must not appear within ten steps of the master. The distance of ten steps is enough for us to react and take down the assassin. Once the assassin is exposed, he will be almost vulnerable to the flying tiger guard."

Gan Ning shook his head and said, "No outsiders can appear within ten steps. This method is easy to say, but it is even more difficult to implement. This time, when the master wins, someone will come to visit. It's good to say on this river, but once you land, if someone is willing to spread the news, the people around you will decide. However, they will come to watch. If some students are added, the master will have to see them at that time. Once these assassins are mixed among the students, the master will be in danger.

"I once heard from my father that the Cai family trained special assassins. All of these assassins are proficient in assassination. In order to assassinate, these people can even take their own lives. Before killing, they were assassins. If they can't escape after killing, they will be dead. In those years, the Cai family ruled out dissidents and used them to kill a lot, and these people could even use large military crossbows, even kill people ten steps away. If Cai Mao used them this time, the lord would not be able to show up. Once he was targeted by them, a wave of assassinations would follow. Wang Yi obviously knows more about the Cai family than others.

"What? Doesn't my father know?" Liu Qi was a little puzzled. No matter which family had such strength, Liu Biao would not allow it.

Wang Yi smiled bitterly and said, "General Zhennan naturally knows, but since General Zhennan took control of Jingzhou, Cai Mao has hardly used them. In the past, it is not easy for General Zhennan to investigate too much."

Liu Qi nodded. Although there was an assassin in Jingzhou before Liu Biao came, the assassin did not fully control Jingzhou. Jingzhou was in chaos, thieves were rampant, and mountain thieves were everywhere. It was not surprising that the Cai family had such power.

Wang Yi looked at Liu Qi and said, "Do you want to inform your father about this matter and ask him to send some more flying dragon troops?"

Liu Qi shook his head and said, "No, if it spreads, I will be scared by a group of assassins who have not yet appeared, and it's not just my face." There are assassins who just speculate that Wang Wei will send people to support him. I'm afraid it's no good to spread to Liu Biao's ears. Moreover, if Cai Mao and others spread the matter with vinegar, ordinary people will definitely say that Liu Qi is afraid of death.

Although Liu Qi is really afraid of death, it is not a good thing to be spread so unscrupulously.

Gan Ning, who was beside him, said, "If you don't need to go back to Xiangyang this time, 2,000 soldiers will march forward, so that the assassin will have no chance to assassinate the lord at all."

"It is impossible. Once the news of the Lord's return to Xiangyang spread, thousands of people will definitely come to watch. Maybe there are some sages. At that time, the Lord will have to come forward. Once he is said to be arrogant, it will definitely have an impact on the prestige of the Lord.

Liu Qi waved his hand and said, "This is not a problem. People who are really knowledgeable will not care about this. Those who shout all day long don't have to worry about them. However, if there are real assassins, they will definitely not miss all opportunities. The closer they are to Xiangyang, the fewer opportunities there will be, so be careful on this river."

At this time, Liu Qi couldn't help but think of the middle-aged man he saw on Yunzhu Mountain. If he was here, it would be more than enough to deal with those assassins. Thinking of the middle-aged Liu Qi and Zhang Bo, Liu Qi had a feeling that Zhang Bo could definitely stop those assassins.

Liu Qi looked at Gan Ning and said, "Did the military division know at this time?"

Gan Ning nodded and said, "Mr. Yi Ji not only told us about this matter, but also told the military division. General Zhennan has allowed the military division to return to Xiangyang, but this time Cai Mao's first choice is the lord, and the military division should have nothing to do."

"You are wrong." Liu Qi stood up and said, "It was me who first assassinated Cai Mao. But if he can't assassinate me, he will turn his target to the people around me, and the military division will be their next target.

These days, Liu Qi's name has spread all over Jingzhou, and at the same time, Xu Shu is also well known.

Gan Ning was shocked and said, "Lord, the military division does not know martial arts. The guards around him are much looser than here, and they have to be guarded." Although there are some soldiers and horses around Xu Shu, the strength of those soldiers and horses is still inferior to that of the take-off tiger guards and Jinfan thieves. Liu Qi did not tell others that Xu Shu was proficient in swordsmanship. Although Gan Ning and others knew that Xu Shu could do martial arts, they all thought that Xu Shu could only write simple swordsmanship and was not proficient in it.

Liu Qi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, since the military division can receive the news, he will definitely think of a way, and they won't go to the military division before he assassinated me." Liu Qi has only beaten the Jinyiwei brought by Ma Zhong and has come back. At this time, he is with Xu Shu. Although the overall strength of Jinyiwei is not as good as that of Feihuwei, the personal strength of Jinyiwei, especially the ability to kill, is still better.
