One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 179 Two Swords Going to the Meeting (Part [-])

"Brother Qin, are you stupid? You clearly know that Qiu Xi has set up a Hongmen banquet for you, but you still go to the banquet. Isn't this sending you to death?"

Upon hearing Qin Yi's words, Zhao Yu became anxious and said immediately.

"That's right, magistrate, Qiu Xi must have recruited a ranger with high martial arts skills because of your prestige in the battle against Dong Zhuo. Think twice!" Lu Jun also advised Qin Yi.

Xu Huang and Zhao Yun did not dissuade, but looked at Qin Yi's expression at this time, thoughtfully.

Qin Yi smiled slightly: "If I didn't know Qiu Xi's plan, going to the banquet would be tantamount to death. But since I have been aware of Qiu Xi's conspiracy, I naturally will not fulfill his wish."

After a short pause, Qin Yi asked the crowd again: "You said, I had no grievances with Qiu Xi before, why did he want to assassinate me?"

"It must be Qiu Xi who wants to bring Lu County into his sphere of influence. As long as Brother Qin is killed, Lu County will be leaderless, and Qiu Xi will have it at his fingertips. There is no need for hatred in this kind of power struggle." Said.

Qin Yi chuckled: "Yu'er, after you went to Changzi County, you actually learned to assess the situation. You've made great progress!"

Zhao Yu pursed his lips: "I'm not a fool, I can't understand such a simple truth."

"That's right, Qiu Xi wanted to take Lu County as his own. When the Huns were there before, he didn't dare to offend the Huns. Now that I'm here, he thinks I'm easy to bully." Qin Yi said coldly, "But having said that, Qiu Xi wants to seize Lu County, do I, Qin Yi, just want to live in Lu County? If Qiu Xi and I were in peace, I would not provoke him, but now he wants to seize me Even if it’s my life, I won’t be polite to him.”

After a pause, Qin Yi continued: "I go to Zhangzi County for a banquet, which is a good opportunity for Qiu Xi to seize Lu County. But on the other hand, isn't it an opportunity for us to expand our power?"

"Xianzun, do you want to turn against the guest and kill Qiu Xi?" Xu Huang asked immediately.

Qin Yi smiled lightly and said: "Gongming, Zilong, didn't you guys persuade me a few days ago that it is better to use thunderous means to deter the surrounding forces in Lu County? Now is the opportunity. As long as we kill Qiu Xi, we can occupy the eldest son in one fell swoop." County. Anyway, one sheep is driven, and two sheep are released. When we come out of Bingzhou, there is no difference between one Lu county and two Lu counties. Don't be afraid that the stride is too big and it will pull... the thigh!"

"Now that the county minister has made up his mind, we need to discuss the details of the action." Zhao Yun was first persuaded by Qin Yi, who then looked at Zhao Yu: "Yu'er, please stay out of the way."

"Why... okay." Zhao Yu subconsciously wanted to refute, but immediately changed his mind and left the second hall embarrassingly.

Watching Zhao Yu leave, Qin Yi admired her even more: This girl is mature, and a few days ago she secretly hid behind a screen to listen to us, but today Zhao Yun asked her to avoid her, and she immediately avoided her.It seems that she can already distinguish between public affairs and private affairs.

…………

Since Zhangzi County is the county seat of Shangdang County, the size of the county seat is more than double that of Lu County.Lu County has three city gates in the east, west and south, but Changzi County has city gates on all sides, and the city walls are much taller than Lu County.The area occupied by the city and the degree of prosperity in the city are much better than that of Lu County.

Because the county and county are in the same city, the county seat of Changzi County has both the county government offices and the county government offices.The county government offices are all located on the central axis of the North-South Street, but the county government offices are located in the west of the city.

After Qiu Xi proclaimed himself the magistrate of the eldest son county, he did not work in the county government office, but directly occupied the prefect's mansion, just like the prefect of Shangdang County.However, in terms of formal address, he did not dare to go too far, and still called him county magistrate.

Qiu Xi used to be a local tycoon, and his family had a lot of property.Because of this, he and Yan Rou got acquainted and had business contacts.Yan Rou exchanged horses, cows and sheepskin products produced by other races with Qiu Xi for food.

After the Huns occupied Lu County, Qiu Xi colluded with each other through Yan Rou and Brown Luchi's matchmaking to seize the Huangshiya Iron Mine.

Some time ago, Qin Yi led his troops to Lu County, defeated the Huns in World War I, beheaded Brown Luchi, and the Huns fled Lu County.Yan Rou went south to join Qiu Xi.

Because Qiu Xi admired Yan Rou's talent, he left him in the prefect's mansion as an aide temporarily.

On this day, Qiu Xi was discussing matters with Yan Rou in the second hall of the prefecture when he suddenly received a report that Wei Jian, the chief registrar of Lu County, had come to visit Qiu Xi on the orders of Qin Yi, the magistrate of Lu County.

"Wei Jiao has actually become the chief secretary of Lu County! That guy Qin Yi is very capable, and he was able to invite Dong Wei to become an official!" Qiu Xi said in surprise when he learned the identity of the visitor.

Yan Rou put the index and middle fingers of her right hand together, gently stroked the mustache above her lips, and said: "Qin Yi knows how to take things seriously. The prefect sent a chief clerk to visit him, and he actually sent a chief clerk back to pay homage. "

The title of "prefect" made Qiu Xi feel very refreshed.In fact, Yan Rou has been calling Qiu Xi "prefect" in private since she hid in Changzi County. Being so accommodating to her also made Qiu Xi trust Yan Rou more and discuss everything with Yan Rou.

"Hahaha, then let Wei Qiang come here to see me. I want to see if Qin Yi will come to the banquet."

Not too long ago, Wei Ke walked into the second hall with a wooden box in his hands.

"We are here, Wei Jian, the chief registrar of Xialu County. On the order of my county magistrate, I have come to visit Magistrate Qiu." Wei Jian bowed slightly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "My county magistrate has posted this here, please ask Magistrate Qiu to read it."

Qiu Xi then ordered someone to take the wooden box from Wei Xie's hand.

When the wooden box was delivered to Qiu Xi, he laughed when he saw it: "Magistrate Qin really knows how to save money. Isn't this wooden box the one I gave him before!"

Wei Ke smiled without saying a word.

Qiu Xi opened the wooden box, took out the greeting card and read it carefully.

After reading the greetings, Qiu Xi said to Wei Qian: "Thanks to your Qin County Magistrate for thinking highly of Qiu, Qiu is deeply honored. Could you please tell Master Wei to tell Qin County Magistrate that I will sweep my bed in three days."

"Wei has made a note." Wei Jiao cupped his hands towards Qiu Xi, "Since that's the case, Wei's mission has been fulfilled, so let's take my leave!"

"Master Wei, go slowly, I won't see you off!" Qiu Xi saw off the guests without even being polite.

After Wei Ke left, Qiu Xi sent out the irrelevant people in the hall, and then said to Yan Rou: "Mr. Yan, Qin Yi has already agreed, and three days later... that is, September 28, he will come to Zhangzi County for a banquet .”

Yan Rou's eyes lit up: "In this case, Qin Yi has fallen into the trap, and the governor's great task will be accomplished!"

"Hahaha, everything is planned by Mr. Yan. After the matter is completed, Qiu will definitely not forget Mr.'s contribution."

Qiu Xi laughed for a while, then suddenly his smile faltered and said: "I'm still a little worried, our plan has been learned by Qin Yi. Are you sure that the brother and sister who left the house privately a few days ago are not spies sent by Qin Yi ?”

Yan Rou said: "The prefect is too worried. I dare to guarantee that the pair of brothers and sisters will never be sent by Qin Yi. I am very familiar with Qin Yi's subordinates, and have never seen the pair of brothers and sisters. Besides, even if Qin Yi Knowing the prefect's plans, it's fine if he doesn't come, but if he does come, he can only sit and wait for death!"

Qiu Xi thought for a while, nodded and said: "Mr. is right, Qin Yi can't bring too many people to the banquet after all. No matter how good his martial arts skills are, if he is alone and alone, he can't escape death."
