At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 56 Requisition
Yangqiu's swordsmanship is indeed superb, but compared to this superb swordsmanship, Yangqiu's combat experience makes Zhou Qi feel powerless.

If Yang Qiu hadn't just started to feint, and then used this slight advantage to press forward step by step, Zhou Qi wouldn't be in such a mess.

But his own experience is not comparable to others, and he has nothing to say.

"We must not continue like this!"

Zhou Qi was forced to take a few steps back again, suddenly thinking about it, after blocking Yang Qiu's attack, he looked outside and shouted in surprise: "Why is the magistrate of Qiao County here?"

Yang Qiu's back was facing the prison door at this time, and when he heard Zhou Qi's shout, he was suffocated in the offensive, and turned his head to look behind him.

Zhou Qi jumped out of the battle circle in a hurry, instead of taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, he retreated out of Yang Qiu's attack range and repositioned himself.

Yang Qiu turned his head and saw that there was no one there, and when he saw that Zhou Qi had come out of the predicament at this time, after experiencing the initial trap, the corners of his mouth curled into a shallow arc instead.

Yang Qiu pulled a sword flower, put on an offensive posture again, and said with great interest: "You little guy is a bit interesting."

Zhou Qi kept moving with a vigilant expression, instead of saluting and apologizing, he said instead: "Your Majesty is experienced and skilled in swordsmanship, and I am not far behind. However, swordsmanship is mostly used on the battlefield or in fighting. The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit. Your Majesty, you can only resort to deception."

The smile on Yang Qiu's face became wider and wider, and he continued: "Your point of view is not bad, but you have not been able to implement it to the end. If I change places, I will launch an attack when the opponent has just turned around. One blow fatal."

Zhou Qi couldn't help but feel awe-struck when he heard this, and had a strong feeling in his heart that Yang Qiu didn't lie.

But soon, he said calmly: "If the two armies are facing each other, or fighting to the death, I will not miss the opportunity just now. However, the envoy and I are just comparing sword skills, and cheating is not fair enough, so how can we dare to take advantage of it?" Launch a sneak attack?"

Yang Qiu didn't speak any more, instead he held his sword and pressed forward step by step, attacking whenever he found an opportunity.

After Zhou Qi had seen Yang Qiu's swordsmanship, he became extremely cautious this time and did not fight head-on with the opponent. Instead, he relied on his youth and strength to keep fighting with his brisk steps.

Unfortunately, the cell was too small. Yang Qiu saw the opportunity and wanted to force Zhou Qi into a corner.

Zhou Qi, however, was well prepared and suddenly launched a fierce attack on Yang Qiu. This made Yang Qiu a little confused as he had adapted to the attacking rhythm.

Zhou Qi took this opportunity to jump out of the battle circle again, and actually retreated while fighting, and finally even retreated outside the cell.

Yang Qiu saw that Zhou Qi was so naughty, and since this was a prison, it was fine for two people to compete with each other in the cell. If they were seen by other prisoners after running out, it would make Yang Qiu, the Sili captain, lose his temper. face.

He immediately put the sword back into its sheath, smiled and cursed at Zhou Qi: "Okay, what's the point of comparing swords like this, let's leave it for today!"

Zhou Qi also sheathed his sword, then he breathed a long sigh of relief, bowed his hands to Yang Qiu and said, "Shi Jun is superb in swordsmanship, Qi did not dare to use his sword lightly, so he had to retreat temporarily. I hope Shi Jun will not blame you."

Yang Qiu shook his head and said nothing more.

Through the fight just now, he can also see that Zhou Qi's swordsmanship is indeed good, but he is still young and has not experienced too much actual combat, so naturally he cannot compare with himself.

But Zhou Qi also has his own advantages, that is, he is young, strong and energetic.

If the two are fighting to the death in the wilderness, Zhou Qi will use this advantage to fight Yang Qiu, and it is not yet known who will die.

Yang Qiu looked at Zhou Qi, who was both sharp and humble, and liked it even more in his heart. He smiled and said, "Although you are young, your talents and martial arts are quite extraordinary. I will keep my promise and exonerate you from the guilt."

Zhou Qi was overjoyed when he heard the words, but he still said with some concern: "After all, Wang Ji is the official of the two thousand stone seal of the frontier, can I really be easily absolved of the crime?"

Yang Qiu laughed a few times, and said with a little pride: "Anyone else might not be able to do this, but I am different."

"I am the captain of Sili, and I have the right to supervise all officials. I came to Peiguo to apprehend Wang Ji."

"You killed two thousand stone officials for the head of Guizhou. Naturally, your crime is unforgivable. If you did it for the capital officials under my command, you were ordered to investigate Wang Ji. Because of your plan to kill the supervisory officials under the Sili Xiaowei, you would fight back and kill in self-defense. What's the crime?"

When Zhou Qi heard this, he once again refreshed his understanding of Yang Qiu.

The official word has two mouths and two hands when speaking.

Zhou Qi had been in the officialdom for so many years in his previous life and had seen a lot of things in the world, but perhaps he had never seen anyone like Yang Qiu who blatantly confused right and wrong.

After all, future generations are societies governed by the rule of law, and many things need to be done within the framework.

This era is very different. As long as you can hold real power, you can really do whatever you want without restraint.

Although Zhou Qi was delighted, he still said with a little worry: "If someone sues, will the envoy be implicated?"

However, Yang Qiu waved his hand and said disdainfully: "Since I am the Sili Colonel, I naturally have to clean up all the traitors around His Majesty. Anyone who can appeal for Wang Ji must also be a traitor."

"I just saved the time of collecting Wang Ji's accomplices and just captured those people and put them in jail."

Zhou Qi was terrified when he heard this, but he couldn't help but be impressed by Yang Qiu's methods. With such a bold and resolute personality, it's no wonder that he was able to kill Wang Fu and his son.

Zhou Qi stopped being pretentious, prostrated himself on the ground and said loudly: "Thank you for your appreciation, I will do my best to repay this kindness."

Yang Qiu stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's a small matter."

"You and I will go to the county government office. After I formally sign the conquest document, I can order the entire territory of Pei State to cancel your wanted order."

Zhou Qi hurriedly pointed to Xiang Hong who was next to him, and said, "This brother, because of his loyalty, joined me in attacking and killing Wang Ji, and now he is also wanted by the government. I wonder if he can turn things around."

Yang Qiu waved his hand impatiently and said: "Since you are an official under the command of Sili Xiaowei, then if he kills Wang Ji in self-defense while you handle the case, he is naturally not guilty."

"If you lack manpower around you, you can keep them by your side as minor officials."

Zhou Qi was overjoyed and thanked Yang Qiu again.

In this way, the official murder case, which was originally a catastrophic disaster, was easily fooled. Zhou Qi and Xiang Hong not only had no fault, but actually made meritorious deeds.

Yang Qiu worked vigorously and resolutely, and soon drafted the conquest documents.

Zhou Qi also went from being a white man to becoming an official under the sect of Sili Xiaowei. Although in terms of rank, he could only be regarded as an assistant historian, which belonged to the rank of fighting food assistant historian, and his salary was less than a hundred stones.

But this mere assistant historian has the duty of supervising and appraising hundreds of officials. Even the children of officials and high officials in the court may not dare to look down upon him.

Otherwise, just fighting for food and supporting history is enough for senior officials to confer heads.
