Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

"Meteor shower, meteor shower..." Chen Wen, who has always been calm and calm, was surprised by the meteor shower pouring out like a flash flood.

Indeed, this is a rare meteor shower, which Liu Qi has never seen before.The Milky Way and the Yangtze River under the starry sky reflected each other, and the meteor shower, like fire trees and silver fires, bloomed in the sky and vented in the Yangtze River. It erupted for more than half an hour and was spectacular.

The ancients had an inexplicable awe of the meteor shower. Looking at the meteor shower that was falling continuously, Chen Wen kept his eyes on the sky with a solemn expression except for exclaiming a few times. When the meteor shower stopped, Chen Wen sighed: "Third brother , it's going to change."

E Huan didn't understand anymore, so he interjected, "Brother Wen, it's a meteor shower, not a torrential rain, the sky is full of stars, what will happen to a good one?"

Liu Qi looked at E Huan, who lacked knowledge, and smiled inscrutably at E Huan, without answering.

Chen Wendao: "General E, the wonders of astronomy, the changes of the stars and the moon, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos."

Liu Qi smiled: "Second brother, tell me, how can you mess with the law?"

Chen Wen said worriedly: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it has been pacified by Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun. Hongnong King Liu Bian ascended the throne, and Yuan Shao killed all the eunuchs. However, after Dong Zhuo took Liu Bian back, he abolished Emperor Shao, established Emperor Xian, and killed the emperor. The killing of the Empress Dowager caused righteous indignation in the world, and the princes from all walks of life in Guandong Prefecture rebelled against Zhuo. Zhuo burned Luoyang again, and moved the capital to Chang'an by Emperor Xiandi of the Han Dynasty. , although the foster father benevolently governs the state and secures Jingxiang, if he does not try to become strong, it may be difficult to maintain long-term security."

"Brother Wen, why do you care so much? There are too many things in the world. If you can't manage it, just focus on the present. Whoever dares to provoke the young master will make him die ugly." E Huan clenched his fist and waved it. .

E Huan expressed his loyalty to Liu Qi, Chen Wen just smiled lightly, without explaining to E Huan, staring at the starry sky where the meteor shower flashed, without saying a word.

However, Liu Qi heard what Chen Wen meant, and broke the silence and said: "The general trend of the world is nothing like this. The seven counties of Jingxiang, if they are partial, they are in danger. Does the second brother have a good plan?"

"Third Brother." Chen Wen's eyes lit up, he hesitated to speak, it seemed that the young master was the young master, he was extraordinary, and he was able to understand the situation of Jingzhou's partial safety and danger, far surpassing the knowledge of his father Liu Biao, the chief governor of Jingzhou.

"Say." Looking at Chen Wen sincerely, Liu Qi encouraged.

Chen Wen thought for a while, and said: "Third brother is far-sighted, forgive me for speaking bluntly. Since the death of the adoptive mother, Mrs. Chen, although the lord and adoptive father are expensive to be the governor of Jingzhou, they have been excluded by several big families, especially the Cai family, relying on Mrs. The first lady of Jingzhou has gradually taken control of military affairs, the Kuai family has also taken control of government affairs, and the Pang family has taken control of civil affairs. When the lord took office, relying on the strength of local famous families to control the seven counties of Jingzhou was based on strength. It’s been nearly a year now, and it’s unwise to still let the power fall by the wayside.”

Liu Qi nodded and continued, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to take back the power."

Chen Wen remonstrated in time: "What the third brother said is very true, that's why Cai Mao dared to be confident in Xiangyang City, and he was disrespectful to the young master. Now that Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng are dead, and they have torn faces with Cai Mao, why don't the third brother Taking advantage of this opportunity, use his own way to counter his own body, falsely accuse him of being a bandit, and send three hundred soldiers to encircle and suppress the Cai Mansion by surprise, and seize the military power for the lord. From then on, relying on Jingzhou's geographical advantages, we can train our troops and adapt to the changes of the sky, which is really a god-sent opportunity."

"Okay, okay, allow him Cai Mao to frame the young master as a bandit, but why not allow the young master to falsely accuse him of being a gangster? Brother Wen has a great plan." When E Huan heard that Cai Mao was going to be killed, he suddenly regained his energy and applauded.

Liu Qi looked at Chen Wen meaningfully. What a Chen Wen, he has such a bold strategy to seize power. It cannot be said that Chen Wen's strategy is not good, but if he wants to kill Cai Mao immediately, it's not that he can't do it, it's just that the time has not come.Just think about it, if the Cai Mansion is suddenly wiped out, it doesn't matter if Cai Mao dies alone. The huge Cai family behind Cai Mao may be in trouble, and the seven counties of Jingxiang will be in turmoil. This is not what Liu Biao wants. It was not the result Liu Qi wanted.

Besides, if Liu Qi seized power by mutiny, I am afraid that people will not be convinced, and the people's hearts will not be satisfied.If the people's hearts are not going well, it may not be a comfortable thing to sit in Jingzhou in the future.

"Second brother is right, but it's about the stability of Jingxiang and the people's livelihood, so we have to think about it in the long term." Liu Qi replied lightly, it's not good to criticize E Huan, let alone Chen Wen, who never expected Chen Wen to be more radical than himself, Chen Wen Wen didn't know what Liu Qi was worried about.

"Yes, third brother." Chen Wen was a little regretful, thinking that there was evidence that Cai Mao had framed Liu Qi as a gangster, and it was a great opportunity to trample Cai Mao to death at this time, but Liu Qi missed it.Since Liu Qi didn't want to talk about the mutiny and seizure of power, Chen Wen stopped for now.

"Well, listen to your son and think about it in the long run." Seeing that Liu Qi was not enthusiastic about beating Cai Mao, E Huan blushed and stopped talking.

Liu Qi changed the topic, and chatted with Chen Wen and E Huan about some technical issues about digging graves and stealing swords. They talked until late at night when they were tired, and then went back to the tent to fall asleep. It's a beautiful day.

Waking up in the morning, Liu Qi was in a good mood. Looking at the rolling hills and tombs of Chu, he remembered that the meteor shower that erupted last night must be a good omen. He washed up by the shallows and walked along the river bank for three to five miles. I went for a morning jog, and when I turned around, I fought Hua Tuo's secret five-animal boxing for a while at the place where E Huan was catching crocodiles yesterday.

At the place where the crocodile is caught, you can still vaguely see the red crocodile blood on the beach. After a night of river wind blowing and soaking in the river water, the crocodile blood has faded a lot and is not so bright, but you can still see the waterside near the beach. There are several Yangtze crocodiles. I don’t know whether these Yangtze crocodiles are waiting for the dead souls of dozens of companions who were hunted down, or they are unwilling to wait for the humans on the shore to avenge their blood.

Looking at the Yangtze River crocodile that has not left all night, Liu Qi is amazed and sighed. It seems that the Yangtze River crocodile has a spirituality, and it has been reluctant to leave for a long time.No wonder Yangtze crocodiles are rarely seen in the Yangtze River after many years. Look at those stupid Yangtze crocodiles with their heads upright on the beach. They are stupid enough. Aren’t they gathered on the beach waiting for humans to hunt and kill them?

However, Liu Qi did not think of hunting these crocodiles in the Yangtze River. One is that the crocodile meat cannot be transported away, and the other is that the crocodile armor is hard to distinguish. Liu Qi only made three sets of crocodiles. When the set was brought back to Xiangyang, Huang Wudie was asked to process it and present it to Jiang Wan and Chen Wen, the two elder brothers of Dangyang Yi and Jinlan. If you have good things, you can’t forget your good brothers, right?

Few men born in the Three Kingdoms do not like swords, guns and armor. The strong, durable, soft and close-fitting Changjiang crocodile armor is a rare thing.The other set of crocodile armor needs to be customized by Huang Wudie from the entire Yangtze River crocodile skin for Liu Qi, which will be discussed after returning to Xiangyang.

Taking advantage of the radiant sun, everyone turned the marinated crocodile meat in the sun again, refined the two sets of rough crocodile leather armor, and overhauled the tomb-robbing tools of the four carriages. It was a happy and fulfilling experience one day.

After resting by the Yangtze River for two days and two nights, with the miraculous curative effect of Huatuo Jiuming Pills, E Huan's leg injury recovered very quickly. Because the leg bone was not injured, his legs and feet were still flexible.

In the early morning of the third day of camping by the river, Liu Qi ordered the fifth shift to cook, and set off at 13:[-], [-] men with iron helmets, copper armor, and swords, fully armed and escorting four carriages loaded with tomb robbery supplies, marched into the virgin forest.

There are already strands of morning glow in the sky, and the wind blowing on the river suddenly makes people feel heroic.

The carriage passed through an open area, and then entered the ancient forest road leading to the Wangshanchu Tombs. The first half of the road was the same as what Liu Qi and Chen Wen had seen beforehand. The deeper the road became, the narrower it became.The strange birds that got up in the morning circled and followed the iron-wrapped carriage, and there were apes Fanteng seeing off among the tall trees and vines along the road, which looked quite interesting.

Walking to the end of the day before yesterday, the road ahead is a strange scene.Although it is daytime, the light is extremely dim in the primeval forest with towering ancient trees. If it weren't for the bright red sun in the morning, it would be difficult to distinguish the road.

The road is getting more and more difficult. It seems that the roadbed is a bit soft, the air is very humid, but it is very fresh, and the concentration of oxygen ions is absolutely super high. Doing aerobic breathing in the morning in the virgin forest will immediately refresh you.

However, the 13 people including Liu Qi, Chen Wen, and E Huan were not in the mood to do aerobic respiration. In the virgin forest, they saw broken helmets, broken swords, broken armor and rotten clothes by the roadside, and human and animal bones everywhere. , I saw several carriages that fell apart and lost their wheels along the road, all of which showed that there was a place of right and wrong, and we should not stay for long.

As the carriage galloped, Chen Wen's heart became more and more nervous, his eyes looked around, thinking about what to do if he encountered a sudden attack by thieves and bandits.

Liu Qi also noticed that the situation was a bit strange. On the wet and soft roadbed, you could still see a few wheel marks at first, as well as some dilapidated carriages and some scattered bones on the side of the road. Not only did the wheel marks disappear as you walked forward, The human bones are gone, and there is only a long and thin road. I am afraid that no one has passed through the virgin forest.

This is not an easy road to walk. Liu Qi's scalp began to feel a little numb, and he clenched his saber tightly, ready to draw out the sheath at any time to deal with dangerous situations.

Chen Wen also noticed the strangeness of the situation. The further he went, the harder it was to walk. However, the strange birds that had been hovering above the carriage did not fly over again. Instead, as the carriage went deeper into the forest, there were more and more apes. .

"Third brother, there are few people in front of us, and there seems to be no way." Chen Wen said nervously.

"Brother Wen, did you go the wrong way?" E Huan also asked.

Chen Wen shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. My third brother and I have been studying the map of Jiangling for several days, and we have confirmed that this ancient road is the only one that goes through the primeval forest. There are also several ancient roads that can bypass the primeval forest and reach the foot of Wangshan Mountain, but that requires Walking in another direction is almost the opposite, and you can’t go there without a month and a half.”

"Oh, then go straight ahead." E Huan said disapprovingly.

Looking at the calm Liu Qi, beads of sweat began to protrude from Chen Wen's head. There were no bones along the way, which meant that no human beings had crossed this ancient path in the primeval forest. It is still unknown whether they can walk out of the forest through this ancient path.

Chen Wen pointed to the ancient road hidden in the dense forest and said, "Third brother, it's a bit mysterious..."
