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

Chapter 66

Not long after Zhou Qi and the others took their seats, Lieutenant Liu walked in with four or five generals under his command, with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Zhou Qi hurriedly got up to greet them, first glanced at their slightly bloated bodies, and then said casually: "You are here for a banquet today, Lieutenant Liu, why are you still carrying weapons?"

Lieutenant Liu looked at Zhou Qi and the others who came empty-handed, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, but he still said righteously: "We are members of the army, no matter where we are, we dare not use weapons. Leaving the body, it is no wonder that Zhou is still engaged in it."

Zhou Qi smiled, and did not continue this topic, but warmly entertained everyone to sit down.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Zhou Qi and the others tried to persuade them to drink. Lieutenant Liu, besides being a little wary at the beginning, gradually let go of his vigilance and began to cater deliberately. The atmosphere in the banquet became very warm.

Both Zhou Qi and Xu Chu drink a lot, and as the banquet continued, Lieutenant Liu and the others were already a little tipsy.

In fact, when Lieutenant Liu came in and saw that Zhou Qi and the others were not carrying weapons, he basically let go of his guard. As the banquet continued, the generals under Lieutenant Liu also warmed up with Xu Chu and the others.

Xu Chu is extremely muscular and has a good capacity for alcohol, so he soon hangs out with several people.

Seeing that Lieutenant Liu and others were getting a little drunk, Zhou Qi suddenly stood up with a wine glass and secretly winked at Xu Chu, Zhou Cheng, Chen Wen and others.

Zhou Qi said with a smile, "For today's gathering, I would like to offer a toast to all of you."

Xu Chu and the others understood, and holding their wine glasses, they swayed towards the location where Lieutenant Liu and the generals under his command were located, yelling indiscriminately, and they all looked like they were in the midst of drinking.

Seeing this, Lieutenant Liu and the others stood up and toasted, ready to drink with Zhou Qi.

"Snapped!"

However, Lieutenant Liu did not wait for Zhou Qi's toast, but saw the other party throw the wine glass on the ground suddenly.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"what!"

"what!"

Almost at the same time that the wine glass in Zhou Qi's hand fell to the ground, Xu Chu also quickly threw away the wine glass in his hand, and then, with lightning speed, knocked down the two generals who were already slightly drunk beside him, and snatched away the wine glass. their weapons.

At the same time, Zhou Cheng, Chen Wen and the others, relying on their superiority in numbers, quickly restrained Lieutenant Liu and the other three generals.

Lieutenant Liu was pushed to the ground by Zhou Cheng and Chen Wen. Because they used too much force, they directly scratched each other's right face.

Lieutenant Liu struggled violently, but unfortunately, even though the opponent's hair became messy and his clothes were a little damaged due to tearing, he still couldn't break free.

On the contrary, in order to avenge the humiliation that day, Zhou Cheng raised his knee and slammed Lieutenant Liu's waist several times, causing him to lie limp on the ground. The severe pain made Lieutenant Liu no longer have the strength to resist.

The originally peaceful banquet suddenly turned chilly. After experiencing the initial shock, Lieutenant Liu immediately suppressed the pain in his waist and face, forcibly raised his neck that was pinned to the ground, and shouted: "Zhou Qi ,What do you want to do?"

After the other four or five generals struggled to escape, they were also shocked and angry, and yelled at Zhou Qi and others.

For a moment, the box became extremely noisy.

"Anyone who dares to shout indiscriminately will slap his mouth directly, and those who refuse to mend their ways after repeated admonitions will have their mouths plugged."

When Zhou Cheng heard this, a stern look flashed in his eyes, he pulled up Lieutenant Liu who was questioning loudly, and slapped the big-eared melon seeds on him.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

The crisp slaps echoed in the box, and Lieutenant Liu lost two of his teeth directly, and the bright red blood gushed out from his mouth immediately, looking very miserable.

Lieutenant Liu stared at Zhou Cheng viciously, even though it was extremely difficult for him to speak at this time, he still said with difficulty: "Untouchable, I only wish that no one beat you to death!"

A fierce look flashed in Zhou Cheng's eyes, and he was about to teach Lieutenant Liu a lesson, but Zhou Qi stopped him.

Zhou Qi stepped forward and handed a knife, and said to Zhou Cheng: "Brother, calm down for now, he is a member of the Two Thousand Stones, you should give him face, let's kill him directly."

When Lieutenant Liu heard the words, his face showed panic, and he shouted: "I am Lieutenant Pei Guo, how dare you kill me!"

Until being taken down by Zhou Qi, Lieutenant Liu still had illusions, thinking that the other party would not dare to take his life, and at most would just arrest him for investigation of evidence, and then report to the court for disposal.

But he didn't expect that Zhou Qi would act so unreasonably and let someone kill him directly.

The deep fear instantly engulfed Lieutenant Liu. He didn't care about the pain in his body, let alone his usual decency. He vomited blood and shouted at the same time.

Zhou Cheng didn't care about Lieutenant Liu's identity.

Ever since he made up his mind to follow Zhou Qi to assassinate Wang Ji, the Prime Minister of Pei State, Zhou Cheng had put life and death aside.

It is a capital crime to kill one of the two thousand stone officials, but it is also a capital crime to kill two. What is the difference?
He is the head of Guizhou, and he lives hard every day, even if he loses his life in the end, it is not in vain to live in this world.

"Pfft!"

Zhou Cheng grabbed Lieutenant Liu by his hair, cut his throat with a knife, and then continued to cut off Lieutenant Liu's entire head with force, but his expression remained unchanged.

On the other hand, Chen Wen, who was standing beside him, was usually fearless, but when he suddenly saw such a bloody scene, his face turned pale with fright, and he almost vomited on the spot.

The remaining four or five generals, seeing their immediate superior being beheaded so easily, turned pale with horror, and even forgot to shout, all looked at Zhou Qi in horror, feeling extremely fearful in their hearts.

Zhou Qi walked forward slowly, took Lieutenant Liu's head from Zhou Cheng's hand, held it up in the air, and said to four or five trembling generals: "Lieutenant Liu colluded with Wang Ji and committed numerous murders. Following the order of the captain of the Sili school, I came to Xiang County to apprehend this thief."

"I never thought that this thief knew that the matter had been exposed, and in order to save his life, he intended to surround and kill me. Fortunately, you all have a righteous heart, and took the initiative to help Ben out of danger, and killed Lieutenant Liu instead."

Having said this, Zhou Qi walked up to a general, handed Lieutenant Liu's head to him, and said: "The general deserves the first credit for killing this thief."

Although the general was terrified, he thought of the respect Lieutenant Liu had for him, so he spit at Zhou Qi and scolded Zhou Qi, "You dog thief, how is your behavior different from Wang Ji?"

"Although I am not talented, I still know the word loyalty. You, the thief, framed Lieutenant Liu like this and killed high-ranking officials in the imperial court in vain. Sooner or later, you will die a good death!"

Zhou Qi didn't expect this person to be so stubborn, and was caught off guard by the other party spitting all over his face.

He wiped his face expressionlessly, then held Lieutenant Liu's head in his left hand, and took the blood-stained long knife from Zhou Cheng with his right hand. He ignored the general's curses and killed him with one blow.

"Tick!"

"Tick!"

"Tick!"

Whether it was Lieutenant Liu's head that Zhou Qi was holding on his left, or the sharp blade that had just killed someone in his right hand, they were all dripping blood on the ground.

The atmosphere in the box seemed to freeze at this moment.

Even those young people who used to follow Zhou Qi to achieve great things, looked at Zhou Qi with a little fear in their eyes at this moment.

They didn't expect that Zhou Qi, who had always been polite and seemed harmless to humans and animals, would kill people so lightly and easily, as if he didn't care about human life at all.

Even Xu Chu looked at Zhou Qi with a somewhat inexplicable look.

In the whole room, only Yang Zuoshi showed admiration in his eyes.

He also didn't expect that this young man, who had not yet reached the crown, would actually have such a mind and means, even when he was younger than Yang Shijun.

It is conceivable that if Zhou Qi can calm down the matter in Xiangxian County smoothly, after returning to Luoyang to see Sili Xiaowei Yangqiu, he will definitely be truly valued by the envoy.

"Tap tap."

With his head in his left hand and the knife in his right, Zhou Qi walked slowly towards the next general with steady steps.

He showed a warm smile, and said to the general: "Just now, that man conspired with Lieutenant Liu to rebel, and he wanted to kill himself. Thanks to your Excellency, he was able to fight back and kill the traitor."

Zhou Qi leaned close to the man's ear and whispered, "Really?"

The general looked at Zhou Qi's face mixed with saliva and blood, with a devilish smile, his body trembled like chaff, and deep fear appeared in his eyes.

He swallowed and wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth.

The smile on Zhou Qi's face gradually faded, he straightened his body and turned his head to look at the body of the general lying in a pool of blood, muttering to himself: "The whole family is affected by the treason, and I don't know how many people there are in this man's family."

The general couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately burst into tears, saying: "What Zhou Zong said is true, Lieutenant Liu intended to assassinate him, and he was ordered to set things right, and he was killed here!"

Speaking of this, the general's body was completely limp on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

If he was the only one, this general would have sacrificed himself generously, but in order not to hurt his family, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept the matter.

Zhou Qi looked at the general who seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and a bright smile gradually appeared on his face.

He threw the long knife above his right hand on the ground, helped the general himself up, and comforted him: "Your meritorious deeds will be reported to Captain Sili."

After speaking, he handed Lieutenant Liu's head to the general, and patted him on the shoulder kindly.

When the mood of the surrendered general gradually calmed down, Zhou Qi pointed to the remaining three people and said to him: "Are these people following Lieutenant Liu to assassinate the rebels who were originally engaged in, or are they heroes who set things right? , is up to you to decide.”

"I just hope that you don't want to disappoint me!"

Although Zhou Qi's tone was very gentle, to the ears of the others, it sounded like a whisper from hell, sending chills down the spine of the remaining three.

　Ahem, don’t think the protagonist’s methods are ruthless.Well, at first it was written that he was unhappy as an official in his previous life, but in fact the foreshadowing has already been laid.This protagonist is a person similar to Cao Cao who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals. He was not originally considered a pure good person, but rather good at calculations.So brothers, don’t say that the protagonist is hypocritical and ruthless.

　　Finally, seek further study, seek further study, it will be even more exciting in Luoyang!
