Chapter 71: One word to wake up the dreamer

The weather in Xuzhou is very good. At least after passing Xia Pi, the weather looks very good and the snow is very sparse.

Good weather will always bring people a good mood. This is even more so because he also met the person he admired the most in his previous life.

Although that guy was still a little slug with two rows of slugs, Dong Qi knew how amazing the future of this little slug would be, and of course how desolate it would be. He died before he could succeed, which would make the hero's tears go away. I wonder if this little slug would still be like in history? Dong Qi rode on the horse and looked forward with interest.

There was a car in front of him, with a pair of black and dark eyes staring at him.

Dong Qi couldn't help but smile at the slug that had poked out of the car, and the slug curled his lips and cried.

*******

Further ahead is Xuzhou, and the convoy suddenly stopped.

After a while, Zhuge Gui sent someone over, Dong Qi jumped off the horse and followed the family to the center of the convoy.

"Mr. Jungong, why don't you leave?"

Zhuge Gui lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, I just sent someone to inquire and found that there are many people wearing yellow turbans outside the four gates of Xuzhou. Judging from their appearance, it seems that they are looking for you, and we may not be able to enter Xuzhou."

Has Taiping Road actually developed to such a level?

Dong Qi frowned and fell into deep thought.

The Yellow Turban wiping forehead was a characteristic of the Taiping believers during the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the future. I didn’t expect it to appear now, or in history, they appeared like this. No matter what, it seems that things are becoming more and more interesting.

"Mr. Jungong, if that's the case, let's break up here."

"Young Master, what are you saying? You can die for your family and country. Even though Gui is not talented, he cannot stop watching."

When Zhuge Gui heard this, he turned a furious look and said angrily: "Is Gui a person afraid of death in the eyes of Prince Qi?"

Dong Qi hurriedly said, "Mr. Jungong has misunderstood. That's not what he meant. But Mr. Jungong, you must understand that all of you are used to blood and are alone and have nothing to worry about. But Mr. Jungong is different. You are a big brother...especially the eldest son and the youngest son are promising people in the future. If something happens, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Zhuge Gui's face was a little slow, and he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

He is really not afraid of death, but what should the family do? Especially those two sons, there should be no accidents.

Zhuge Gui was a little hesitant, but Dong Qi smiled slightly.

"Mr. Jungong doesn't have to hesitate. All of you are desperate. If you stay, Mr. Jungong's family will be unable to sleep or eat in the future. Thank you for your stay these days, but you will be farewell to the banquet that will be over the world!"

As he spoke, Dong Qi had already turned his horse's head and greeted him, Dian Wei and others followed closely.

Seeing the group lost traces on the official road, Zhuge Gui sighed and said to his youngest son beside him: "Young Master is a true hero... Jin'er, Liang'er, you should remember it. Being a person like a young Master is a true hero."

"Father, will the young master and the others be in danger?"

Zhuge Gui's face darkened, he shook his head gently and said, "This, I hope God will bless you... Let's go, let's enter Xuzhou City."

In the evening, Dong Qi decided to go out again and attacked a dojo outside Xuzhou City.

However, they did not encounter much resistance. After killing more than 30 Taiping Taoists, the group immediately left.

However, Dong Qi felt a little uneasy and rested in a broken ancestral temple sheltered from the wind after night.

The bonfire was lit and everyone sat around the fire. Dian Wei and two trolls stood guard outside the ancestral hall to serve as a warning.

Tang Zhou couldn't help but ask, "Lord, how should you deal with that guy along the way? If you try to smear his character, it would be almost the same."

Dong Qi looked up and looked at Zhou Cang located in the corner of the ancestral hall.

In fact, he was very hesitant about how to deal with this person. Along the way, he had thought about how to deal with this guy. But Zhou Cang's head was very hard and he was unwilling to surrender to them. He was forced and scolded him, and even threatened him with death. Later, Dong Qi mentioned Pei Yuanshao's name, and Zhou Cang calmed down a little. But he never spitted.

Dong Qi was not in the mood to talk to him, but he couldn't bear to kill him.

No matter what, Zhou Cang is also a celebrity this time. It would be a pity to kill him, but if he doesn't kill him, it would be a real trouble.

Standing up and walking to Zhou Cang, the black-faced man looked very tired.

The bumps along the way and the countless bloody views made Zhou Cang feel numb and unable to resist.

I know very well that Taipingdao is probably hopeless!

Just imagine, the government's attention that had attracted the attention of Dong Qi was killed all the way, and the believers' trust in the great wise and good teachers was greatly reduced. They could accomplish things and gather believers, which was originally a saying of gods and ghosts that were great wise and good teachers. If Dong Qi could not be killed, the prestige of the great wise and good teachers would be reduced; but even if they were killed, what could it be?

He looked up at Dong Qi, and Zhou Cang said, "Young Master, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I will never surrender you."

Dong Qi was very strange. Pei Yuanshao surrendered in pain. Why is Zhou Cang so tough?

"Zhou Cang, let's talk about it, why don't you want to surrender me?"

"Young Master, you're so calculating... I finally understand your purpose. I want to cover up the list and go to Luoyang, right? However, although you have succeeded, the great wise and good teacher will not let you go. I am the same as you... Bo Hou surrendered to you, his luck. But I am different. I am the kindness of the great wise and good teacher. If I follow you, wouldn't it be ungrateful? If you don't die, I will follow you to deal with the great wise and good teacher, and I can't do it."

Dong Qi stood up, turned his head to look at Tang Zhou and Huang Shao, and saw that they both shook their heads.

Tang Zhou made a killing gesture, and Dong Qi sighed, "If I kill you, how can I explain to Bohou in the future? But if I let you go, if you run back to do evil again, wouldn't I have to let go of the high hopes of the court and the heavy trust of the teacher? Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang, you really make me embarrassed. You are a good man, and killing you... It's a pity."

At this moment, a loud voice came from outside the ancestral hall: "Young Master, if you are in a dilemma, why not give him to me."

Dong Qi turned his head and saw Zhuge Gui walking in with Dian Wei.

"Lord, I just met Mr. Jungong's family outside. He said there was something very urgent to tell you."

Dong Qi quickly bowed, "Mr. Jungong..."

"Young Master, let's not say polite words. I heard people in Xuzhou City that you attacked the Taoist temple and felt very happy. However, I met a friend who had been with many years. His surname was Chen and was a prominent local family. Taiping Dao is powerful. In order to protect the family, he had a clan brother who also joined Taiping Dao, so he got an important news."

"What news?"

"The brother of his clan told him that Zhang Jiao's personal disciple Zhang Zhangba gathered troops from Qing, Yan and Henan, with about two thousand people. He was coming to Xuzhou and would arrive tomorrow morning. And there were also Zhang Jiao's personal disciple Tao Pinghan and left the city in the evening. It is said that he was going to meet Zhang Zhangba, and probably to meet you in one place."

Two thousand, one thousand...

Dong Qi and others took a breath. Three thousand Yellow Turban Strongmen, plus the Taiping Dao all over the place, sounded very terrible. Dong Qi did not expect that it would attract such a huge force from Taiping Dao. Three thousand Yellow Turban Strongmen, plus the 800 Yellow Turban Strongmen that he had killed in Changyi before, were one-fifth of the elite of Taiping Dao.

It seems that Zhang Jiao is going to take real action!

Zhou Cang laughed, "Young Master, you heard it, I'm not wrong. You are indeed very powerful, and you and that ugly ghost are indeed very brave. But after all, you only have a dozen people, so you have to deal with the three thousand Yellow Turban Strongmen, don't think about it."

Dian Wei was furious and stepped forward to slap Zhou Cang in the face.

"Ugly, shut up!"

"Hahaha, are you scared?" Zhou Cang spitted bloody phlegm without feeling any pain.

Dong Qi stopped Dian Wei, but was not in the mood to argue with Zhou Cang, turned around and shouted in a low voice: "Huang Shao, bring the map."

Huang Shao immediately took out the map of Xuzhou from his bag, and Dong Qi looked carefully in the flames.

Judging from the map, the retreat has been blocked... There are only three directions from Xuzhou, one is to go westward and to Runan. However, the Taiping Road in Runan is said to be very prosperous, and there is also the commander of the southern Taiping Road Zhang Mancheng. Dong Qi has no particular impression of this person. However, Huang Shao and Tang Zhou both said that Zhang Mancheng was one of the leaders of the Taiping Road, and Zhang Niujiao, who was in charge of Yizhou, was collectively called the second Zhang. He is quite proficient in military tactics and strategies, and is a rare coach.

Therefore, Runan cannot go.

Only Jiujiang and Guangling are left. Jiujiang River channels are crisscrossing, and Guangling has steep mountains.

If he chose one of the two, Dong Qi would rather choose Guangling. However, when his fingers were on the mountains around Guangling, he hesitated again.

"Lord, it's not the same way for us to run blindly like this."

"Of course I know. Now that things are getting bigger, Zhang Jiao will definitely not give up if he doesn't kill us... I was wondering, since this is already the case, can Zhang Jiao be embarrassed again and eat these three thousand Yellow Turban Strongsters."

"ah?"

Huang Shao and Tang Zhou stared at Dong Qi as if they were madman, and even Zhuge Gui, who was persuading Zhou Cang, was stunned.

"Young Master, this is impossible!"

Before Dong Qi could answer, four more people came in from outside the ancestral hall. A middle-aged man, holding Zhuge Liang, followed by Zhuge Jin, and a young man who looked about the same age as Dong Qi, was dressed in a scribe outfit and was quite graceful...

The middle-aged man was seven feet tall, his face was as beautiful as jade, and he had a spirit.

When Zhuge Gui saw this person, he hurried forward.

"Mr. Qi, let me introduce it. This is my friend I just mentioned. His surname is Chen, his name is Gui, his courtesy name is Hanyu, and he is a famous scholar in Xuzhou. This is his son, Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, who is young and intelligent, is one of the rare local prodigy. Hanyu, this is Mr. Qi."

Chen Gui snorted, taking care of him.

But the young man looked rebellious and glanced at Dong Qi, but didn't say anything.

Zhuge Gui felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Hanyu, Mr. Qi is a disciple ordered by Mr. Bo Ji."

Chen Gui and Chen Deng seemed surprised, and their faces improved a little. However, after looking up and down, Chen Gui sneered: "Mr. Bo Yi is a great scholar in the world, Gui has always admired him. But his eyesight...hehe, hehe."

The implication is that Dong Qi is still unworthy, but it is much better than just now.

Dong Qi was not angry. On the one hand, he had become accustomed to the style of a scholar-official, but on the other hand, he was shocked by the boy's name.

Chen Deng, Chen Yuanlong?

My God, this is also a great man from the Three Kingdoms period!

Dong Qi quickly saluted, but said in his heart: This trip to the Central Plains is really lucky. The great people I met... tsk, one after another, it was really eye-opening.

Chen Gui put down Zhuge Liang and said to Dong Qi: "Young Master Qi's feat, I have heard Jun Gong say, and I am deeply impressed. However, Taiping Dao has now become a powerful force, and Youth Prince Qi has caused a murder. When I came in just now, I seemed to hear Youth Prince Qi say that he would destroy the three thousand soldiers and horses? I wonder how many people and horses are there, and whether the plan is detailed?"

Dong Qi was a little ashamed and shook his head and said, "I just had this plan in the morning. For the people... besides the two of them, there were a total of sixteen people and a total of forty-three horses, and there were no other ones."

"Ha, it's so shameless. These people want to destroy the three thousand peace thieves?"

Zhuge Gui suddenly said, "Hanyu, Mr. Qi is wrong. There are more than sixteen people, including my Zhuge Gui's family, there should be fifty-seven people."

"Mr. Jungong..."
