Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 362: Ziyi defeats thousands of cavalrymen alone, Liu Qi's transformation
"Let me see who dares?"

Cai Mao raised the half tiger talisman in his hand and looked around at everyone present.

"I am the deputy general appointed by the lord himself. I have the power to mobilize the Xiangyang army. Who dares to touch me?!"

The soldiers present were all stunned. On one side was Liu Qi, who had succeeded to the throne as the governor of Jingzhou, and on the other side was Cai Mao, who was holding half of the tiger talisman. They were the confidants of the previous governor, and they would listen to neither of them.

"Cai murdered my father, which is tantamount to treason! Those who commit treason will be punished along with their entire clan! Capture them!"

Liu Qi was no longer as weak as before. Like a sword finally unsheathed, he showed his edge to the world for the first time.

"Liu Qi, I am your uncle! You are also one of the nine clans, do you want to kill yourself?!"

Cai Mao sneered.

"Guard!"

With Cai Mao's loud shout, a group of armored soldiers suddenly rushed into the courtyard and surrounded the room. He saw that he had the situation under control.

"Do you think I've been doing nothing in Jingzhou for all these years? Hahahaha..."

Seeing that Cai Mao was well prepared, Cai's heart tightened. She had just betrayed him and there would definitely be no good results, so she immediately chose to curry favor with him.

"Cai Mao, Cai Mao intends to rebel! I have evidence to prove that he has the intention of rebellion, arrest him quickly!"

Knowing that Cai Mao was cruel and ruthless, Cai immediately surrendered to Liu Qi, hoping that Liu Qi could save her life, or at least her son's life.

"You evil woman! You are talking nonsense! It was Liu Qi who assassinated the lord for the position of Jingzhou governor. Someone, come! Tie up everyone in the room!"

The room suddenly became chaotic. Gu Rubing was sitting on the bed, Liu Qi was kneeling beside the bed, and Taishi Ci was standing in front of them, with his hands behind his back, already holding the halberd.

A man dressed as a military general was holding a nine-ring knife and staring at Taishi Ci with fangs bared. He was a capable general under Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling County, and he was also the one who tried to force his way in when Taishi Ci blocked him outside the door last time.

"Oh, you've fallen into my hands, haven't you? You were pretty awesome last time, right? Aim at me again with your bow and arrow! Remember, I'm Xing Daorong, the general of Lingling County!"

The general walked up to Taishi Ci and wanted to reach out to slap Taishi Ci in the face. Just as he raised his hand, before he touched Taishi Ci, he saw a flash of cold light before his eyes, and his outstretched hand broke evenly at the wrist.

"what!"

Xing Daorong cried out in pain while holding his arm without a palm, but he soon shut up because a cold light flashed across his neck, and a head was raised high, blood gushed out, and the corpse fell straight backwards and hit the ground with a thud. Blood continued to spray, and Cai Mao and others all had blood all over their faces.

"presumptuous!"

Lingling Prefect Liu Du roared in anger. That was the general he trusted the most, but now he was killed by the opponent's halberd.

"Capture that gibbon for me! I will tear him into pieces!"

At this moment, Liu Du didn't care who was behind Taishi Ci.

Behind Taishi Ci, Gu Rubing looked at Liu Qi who was kneeling beside the bed, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Show some courage. A real man must say something to the world when suffering comes. When suffering comes, we dare to speak out!"

Liu Qi's eyes became more and more determined, then he stood up and bowed deeply to Gu Rubing.

"I beg you, Uncle Liu, to save me! Help me get rid of the evildoers and restore Jingzhou! I am willing to follow Uncle Liu from now on! I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

After Liu Qi said this, Liu Qi's panel appeared in front of Gu Rubing. Gu Rubing didn't bother to check it out, so he helped Liu Qi up first.

"I have sent people to Jiangxia and Yuzhang to inform them of everything. I believe the two have received the news and are rushing to Xiangyang. The most urgent task now is to deal with these traitors first."

"Uncle Liu still has troops around him?"

Liu Qi asked. Right now, there was only Taishi Ci in front of them. Although they knew that Taishi Ci was very strong and had seen him kill more than 200 people with one sword that day, there were more than 200 people now. The entire governor's mansion was surrounded by three layers of soldiers inside and three layers of soldiers outside. There were at least a thousand people.

Gu Rubing smiled and shook his head.

"No, the twenty riders who followed me last night are gone now."

"What about that?"

When Liu Qi heard this, he did not panic but was extremely calm. Gu Rubing nodded approvingly. He remained calm even when faced with a huge crisis. It can be seen that Liu Qi has grown very fast in the past few days and is no longer the naive boy he was when they first met.

"Zi Yi alone can defeat a thousand cavalrymen."

Gu Rubing reached out and closed Liu Biao's eyes.

"Ziyi, let's do it."

Upon hearing this, Taishi Ci grinned and rubbed his halberds together, making an irritating sound.

"Yes, my lord."

After saying this, Taishi Ci charged into the crowd holding his twin halberds...

At noon, Huang Zu arrived in Xiangyang first, after all, he was closer.

Huang Zu arrived at the governor's mansion and smelled a pungent smell of blood as soon as he got off his horse. The door of the governor's mansion was closed and the people passing by stopped to watch, wanting to know what was happening in the mansion.

"It's all gone, all gone."

Huang Zu's deputy general dispersed the nearby people, and two of them, with a team of soldiers, opened the gate of the governor's mansion. As soon as the gate opened, what came into view was corpses all over the ground, and blood flowed all over the yard. There was no sound of footsteps, and there were soldiers cleaning up the corpses.

"come here!"

The deputy general stopped a soldier who was cleaning up the corpses, and the soldier obviously knew Huang Zu.

"My Lord, what do you want me to do?"

"What happened?"

Huang Zu frowned, having a bad feeling in his heart.

"Replying to the prefect, the governor passed away this morning, and it was later proved that he was murdered by the Cai family. The Cai family said that they acted in this way because of the threat from Cai Mao. Later, Cai Mao mobilized his personal soldiers and the five prefects and their generals to kill the eldest son and make the second son the crown prince to inherit the position of governor. General Taishi under Uncle Liu killed more than a thousand people with two halberds." After speaking concisely, the soldiers left. At first glance, it seemed that there were not many things to say, but if you think about it carefully, each of these things is a big deal. The result of each thing can change the pattern of the entire Jingzhou, and even affect the situation of the world.

Huang Zu walked forward with his deputy general. Everywhere they saw were corpses. They walked all the way to the meeting room. The meeting room was probably the only clean place without corpses.

In the conference room, Liu Qi replaced Liu Biao and sat in the position of Governor of Jingzhou. Gu Rubing and Taishi Ci still sat in the first and second positions on the right, with two seats in the middle empty. Behind them sat the brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue.

Gu Rubing was the same as the last time they met, but Taishi Ci was different. He was covered in blood, and it was unclear whether it was his own or those of the corpses.

"Young Master, Uncle Liu!"

Huang Zu entered the meeting room and saluted the two men. Liu Qi immediately stood up and walked up to Huang Zu.

"General Huang is here, please take a seat, there are still some people, please wait a little longer."

Sitting in the left row were Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Liu Du and other prefects who were tied up. Not only were they tied up, but they were also gagged. At the end of the left side, Liu Cong was sitting at the end trembling, and Cai was kneeling in the middle of the conference room.

Huang Zu was not a man without seeing things, and he sat down where Taishi Ci was without asking any questions. Gu Rubing and Taishi Ci nodded to Huang Zu in succession.

After waiting for about half an hour, Huang Zhong also came to the conference room and sat down. After seeing that everyone was there, Liu Qi stood up.

"Everyone, this morning, my father had a carbuncle on his back and died of pain. The illness that was originally under control by the emperor's uncle suddenly relapsed. All this is because of that vicious woman Cai!"

Liu Qi pointed at Cai and said, veins bulging on his neck, he wished he could tear Cai to pieces on the spot. A soldier stepped forward and took the cotton cloth out of Cai's mouth.

"Ms. Cai, do you have any excuse?"

Liu Qi sat in the position of governor and asked indifferently. Although Cai could speak, she was still tied up. She wanted to point at Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, but couldn't.

"It was Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. They threatened me with Cong'er's life. If I didn't listen to them, didn't target you, and didn't give my husband..."

"Shut up! You have no right to call me father!"

Liu Qi, who was sitting on the main seat, was furious. Cai was frightened by his sudden rage and immediately changed her words.

"Sir Governor, old Sir Governor, it was Cai Mao and Zhang Yun who instructed me to feed the old Sir Governor the medicine. They said it was a tonic that would nourish the body and would improve Sir Governor's condition. That's why I did this."

As Cai spoke, she kowtowed to Liu Qi. Behind Liu Qi, the spirit tablet of Liu Biao was placed there.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun on the left had their mouths blocked. They wanted to explain but couldn't speak. They were so anxious that they stamped their feet and made humming sounds to indicate that they had something to say. Liu Qi ignored them and continued to look at Cai.

"The guilty woman Cai! So you did feed my father the medicine?"

Cai knelt on the ground, looking very embarrassed and no longer as glorious as before. She nodded mechanically and admitted the crime. She now only wanted to try her best to wipe Liu Cong out. This was her only thought.

Liu Qi waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to cover Cai's mouth, then took Cai Mao and Zhang Yun off the chairs, knelt beside Cai, and as he took the cotton cloth out of their mouths, the two immediately demonstrated their beautiful Chinese.

"Poisonous woman! You are such a poisonous woman! It was you who found the two of us and told us to target Liu Qi, and then kill Liu Biao, let Liu Cong take the position of governor of Jingzhou, and promised us high positions and generous salaries, you poisonous woman!"

Zhang Yun was the first to start cursing.

"You vicious woman, you dragged the two of us into this, didn't you just want to save your son Cong? Don't even think about it! Sir Governor, not only us, but Liu Cong has been involved in the conspiracy against the old lord from beginning to end, and many of the supplements were purchased by Liu Cong, otherwise where would we get so much money to buy them."

"Cai is the mastermind of this matter, Liu Cong is the beneficiary. Deputy General Zhang and I were both bewitched by that vicious woman. We only purchased various supplements and gave them to Cai. In the end, it was Cai who induced the old master to take them. We are just accomplices! From today on, I am willing to die for you, my master!"

Cai Mao no longer cared about the relationship between siblings and pushed all the things onto Cai. Liu Qi was not stupid. He knew that both sides were just shirking responsibility and it was just dog-eat-dog.

As Liu Qi waved his hand, the two men were gagged again and knelt on the spot. Liu Qi looked at the five prefects. He wanted to kill these five prefects, but he didn't dare to.

He wanted to kill them because several of them had long harbored the intention of rebellion. Perhaps they would surrender to him now, but when he was in trouble, they might turn around and bite him back.

The reason why they didn't dare to kill them was that they had been governors for many years and were very prestigious in the local area. Their power was intertwined and they had indeed done some practical things for the people. Even though some of them were not very decent and had dirty hands, it was undeniable that they were not good subordinates, but they were indeed pretty good officials.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Qi stood up, walked in front of several people, and took out the cotton cloth from their mouths one by one.

"Do you have any last words?"

Several people had different expressions, and Liu Du spoke first.

"What are you doing? Are you pitying us? If I were you, I would kill everyone right away. That's why I look down on you. You're too weak. Liu Cong is not a good person either. It's just that Cai Mao has some skills, so I support him. Are you trying to persuade us to work for you? Don't even think about it! You can kill us or chop us up as you please."

Liu Qi didn't say anything and looked at the others. Zhao Fan continued.

"My lord, I'm wrong, my lord. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I will follow your lead from now on and never have any second thoughts. I hope you can let me go!"

"Shut up, coward!"

Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha, rebuked him angrily. He was Huang Zhong's old boss when he was the General of the Central Army, and he and Huang Zhong were old acquaintances. The two had a good relationship. After rebuking Zhao Fan, Han Xuan turned to look at Liu Qi and shook his head.

"You are too weak. You don't fight for anything and just let the Cai family slander you. Even now, you are still timid. If Jingzhou falls into your hands, the consequences will be disastrous. We followed our lord to conquer Jingzhou. How can we let Jingzhou fall into your hands?!"

Liu Qi still didn't say anything and continued to walk down. The prefect of Wuling and the prefect of Cangwu begged for mercy one after another, asking Liu Qi to let them go. Liu Qi stood at the door of the conference hall, looking at Liu Cong who was almost scared silly at the end, and suddenly drew his sword and killed the prefect of Cangwu, Wu Ju, who was next to Liu Cong, in the throat with one sword.

Warm blood spurted out and splashed onto the face of Liu Cong beside him. Liu Cong touched the blood on his face dully and suddenly screamed.

Amid Liu Cong's screams, Liu Qi killed Wu Ju, Wuling Prefect Jin Xuan and Guiyang Prefect Zhao Fan one after another. After killing them, Liu Qi walked up to Liu Du and Han Xuan.

"Now am I qualified enough?"

"Go and stab Liu Bei to death with your sword. If you kill him, I will recognize you as my master, ha..."

Before Liu Du could even laugh, he was struck by a sword and his head and body were separated. Han Xuan looked at Liu Qi who had killed four people so efficiently and quickly, and finally smiled.

"That's more like a real person, hahahaha, come on, kill me, who will dare to rebel against you in the future?!"

Han Xuan closed his eyes and quietly waited for death to come. Liu Qi raised his hand and swung his sword without any hesitation.

At this point, all five prefects had died.

"Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have been imprisoned in the prison, awaiting orders! Cai Shi, be beaten to death! Liu Cong, be confined to the side hall, and cannot come out without my permission!"
