Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 447 Invited

Outside the Zhou Palace.

"King of Han, please!" Yan Liang got off his horse and cupped his hands.

Liu Qi glanced at the huge Zhou Palace, nodded as well, and said: "Han Sheng, you lead seven hundred soldiers to wait here; Dian Wei and Meng Qi lead three hundred blood-clothed guards to follow me in!"

"promise!"

Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao didn't raise any objections.

immediately.

Liu Qi, Dian Wei, Ma Chao, and three hundred blood-clothed guards also dismounted from their horses, holding their sabers in their hands, and together with Yan Liang, walked towards the Zhou Palace.

Huang Zhong led [-] soldiers to stay outside Zhou Wang's mansion, but he also set up a defensive formation and was vigilant about the situation around him.

Of course, he also paid attention to the movement inside the mansion, and if something was wrong, he rushed in directly.

I don't know if it was Yan Liang, or it was Yuan Shao's orders.

Although the guards of the mansion were nervous, they didn't do anything to stop them, or anything, allowing Yan Liang to lead Liu Qi and others into the huge Zhou Palace.

Yan Liang led the way, and Liu Qi and others followed behind.

walk aside.

Liu Qi and the others were also observing the surroundings, paying attention to the surrounding environment. After all, it was hard to say what would happen when they came here before they met Yuan Shao.

Observing the surroundings is also getting acquainted with the environment, and if there are any changes, he can adapt to the situation accordingly.

slowly.

Yan Liang brought Liu Qi and others to the backyard of Prince Zhou's mansion.

I see.

There were no soldiers in the backyard, but there was a man sitting at the stone table in the central gazebo, with tea and a game of Go on the stone table.

There is nothing unusual about the rest of the place.

"My lord, the King of Han is here at the invitation!" Yan Liang cupped his hands at the man in the pavilion.

The person sitting in the gazebo is also Zhou Wang Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu.

In fact, Yuan Shao had already noticed the arrival of Yan Liang with Liu Qi and others. Originally, he was the only one in the backyard, and suddenly there were dense footsteps, and it was impossible not to pay attention.

Hear Yan Liang's words.

Yan Liang also stood up from his seat, nodded to Yan Liang, and then looked at Liu Qi, but did not speak.

Noticing Yuan Shao's gaze, Liu Qi didn't evade either. He put his hand on his saber and looked at Yuan Shao, but also didn't speak.

Dian Wei and Ma Chao also looked at each other. They saw the situation in the courtyard and felt that Yuan Shao didn't have any malicious intentions for the time being, so they felt a little more relaxed.

However, he was still wary of his surroundings.

It is true that there is no malicious intent now, but what about later?
No one speaks.

The two sides also fell silent, and the atmosphere seemed a little dignified.

Yuan Shao and Liu Qi just looked at each other, refusing to give in to each other, as if they were confronting each other with their eyes.

The two didn't speak, and Yan Liang, Dian Wei, Ma Chao and the others didn't move, they just stood quietly, staring at each other.

It seems like a long time, and it seems only a moment.

Liu Qi and Yuan Shao, who were looking at each other, had smiles on their lips.

"Please!"

"Please!"

Both of them spoke at the same time, and made a gesture of please.

such a situation.

It made Yan Liang, Dian Wei, and Ma Chao a little confused, so the solemn atmosphere before dissipated in an instant.

At this moment, Liu Qi was also holding his saber, and walked towards the gazebo.

Dian Wei and Ma Chao wanted to follow, but Liu Qi stopped them with a wave and told them to stay where they were and wait.

When Yan Liang saw Liu Qi walking over with his sword in hand, he was also worried, so he also wanted to go over to protect Yuan Shao.

same.

Yuan Shao also waved his hand to stop Yan Liang, not letting Yan Liang come over.

from time to time.

Liu Qi also walked to the gazebo, and met Yuan Shao face to face.

"Please!"

"Please!"

The two said something again.

Immediately, the two also smiled and sat opposite each other.

In the end, the behavior of the two is also somewhat incomprehensible. They don't look like a pair of opponents who are about to decide the winner, but a pair of old friends and confidants who haven't seen each other for many years.

Liu Qi and Yuan Shao were also in the gazebo, drinking tea and playing chess, looking very leisurely.

Although they saw their mouths moving, Yan Liang, Dian Wei, Ma Chao and others couldn't hear what they were talking about, it was very soft, only the two of them could hear the same.

Time passed little by little.

The two of them didn't change in any way, they played chess and drank tea as usual.

Except for asking Yan Liang to bring another pot of tea when there was no tea, he didn't let anyone approach him.

Unwittingly.

The sun also came to the very center of the sky, emitting a hot light.

Outside the city of Xindu.

Guo Jia and the others were also a little anxious waiting. If they didn't know Liu Qi's situation in the city, they would have attacked the city.

At this time.

pop~~
"Brother Benchu, you lost!" Liu Qi said as he put down a white chess piece.

This is also the first time that Yan Liang and others heard the voice.

Yuan Shao stared at the chessboard for a while, then threw the black chess in his hand back into the chess pot, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, I lost!"

"Brother Benchu, have you really decided? Why don't you consider my suggestion?" Liu Qi looked at Yuan Shao and said.

"No, it's good for you and me, and the result has already been decided!" Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "It's different now, and you and I are no longer the same you and me as before. You know, although I sent Yan Liang to Inviting you, I don't have much expectation in my heart, maybe we will meet after I was captured by you, but meeting like this now is enough!"

"Ugh!"

Liu Qi shook his head and sighed, but didn't say much, after all he knew what Yuan Shao said.

This time, Yuan Shao really didn't have any conspiracy, he was really just invited over, just...

See Liu Qi's expression.

Yuan Shao didn't intend to say anything more, so he said: "It's already reached this time, let me personally send you out of the city!"

"Then I'm going to trouble Brother Benchu!"

Liu Qi didn't refuse either, and bowed his hands to Yuan Shao.

immediately.

The two of them led Yan Liang, Dian Wei, Ma Chao, and three hundred blood-clothed guards who didn't know what had happened, and walked towards the outside of King Zhou's mansion.

He was personally escorted by Yuan Shao.

What's more, there will be no accidents.

Yuan Shao kept sending Liu Qi and others to the passageway of the city gate.

Wait for the city gate to open.

Liu Qi didn't say much, he bowed his hands to Yuan Shao, took Dian Wei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and a thousand soldiers, and walked out towards the city gate passage.

bang~~
Wait for Liu Qi and others to leave the city.

The city gate was closed again.

Looking back at the closed city gate, Liu Qi sighed in his heart, and headed towards Wei Yan, Guo Jia and others who had led his troops to stay outside the city.

"My lord!" Guo Jia greeted him and said.

Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang and others also looked at Liu Qi, wanting to know what happened in the city.

Now it seems that Yuan Shao invited Liu Qi to the city without any conspiracy, so there must be something wrong.

"Withdraw troops and return to camp!"

Liu Qi didn't seem to want to talk too much, so he ordered directly.

"promise!"

Although everyone was puzzled, they did not refute Liu Qi's order.

After waiting all morning, without any movement, the Han army of more than [-] troops also slowly retreated towards the camp.
