After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

Qian Sanwen was so frightened that his eyes widened and his legs trembled.

Before he could react, a flash of silver light flashed in his triangular eyes, and his throat seemed to have a big hole, and cold wind rushed in.

With a "bang" sound.

Qian Sanwen fell limply from the chair to the ground, a trickle of dark liquid seeping out from his prostrate neck.

The incident happened in just a few breaths, and a few drops of dazzling red slowly slid down the corners of Li Yanqi's eyes.

He stood in the hall dejectedly, picked up the cloth used to wipe his hands on the chopping board, and slowly wiped his bloody palms and the short blade stained with bright colors.

Everyone subconsciously took two steps back and looked at each other with pale faces.

Liu Mazi's pockmarked face turned pale and blue at this moment. He shouted subconsciously: "Li Yanqi, you are done. You actually killed Master Cai and Master Qian!"

He regretted what he said as he saw Li Yanqi was checking Cai Zhang's belongings and did not notice him.

Liu Mazi was extremely relieved. He swallowed and began to retreat towards the door.

He wanted to go out and bring in the guards from the Jiedushi Mansion, capture Li Yanqi and hand him over to Liu Ping to gain merit, and maybe he could...

When Liu Mazi stepped onto the threshold, he seemed to see himself being promoted to a higher position and surrounded by beauties, so he turned around and went outside to call for help.

He had been paying attention to Li Yanqi's movements, but he didn't notice that there was a man holding a steel knife at his waist, also paying attention to his movements.

Before he could run out, he was grabbed by the collar and thrown back into the hall.

Liu Mazi was frightened and tried to fight back with his weapon. He turned around and saw the pale face of the man who had lost blood. He paused and asked in surprise, "Ma Ben?"

It was during this moment of distraction that the man who had always been honest and gullible in his eyes was beheaded with a knife without any hesitation before he could finish his words.

Liu Mazi's puzzled and surprised face rolled several times on the ground.

Ma Ben was covered in blood. He knelt down with his steel knife in hand and said, "Liu Mazi was bribed by the rebel king of Maozhou and killed Lord Qian and Lord Cai. He has now been executed."

He raised his eyes and looked firmly at the man standing at the top, his words resonant.

"I beg Lord Li to lead the men of Chongzhou to fight against the bandits of Maozhou!"

Li Yanqi made a "tsk" sound, raised his eyebrows and smiled, thinking that the two hemostatic pills were not given in vain.

No matter what happens today, the final result is the same.

But Ma Ben's move did save him some effort.

Li Yanqi hooked the military token with his index finger and turned it, raised his chin to signal the others, and asked lazily: "What do you say?"

Among the officers and generals, some of the timid ones were so scared that they fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, there were three corpses with residual warmth in the hall, and Liu Mazi's head, with his eyes open, was facing them.

The first one knelt down and said, "I kneel down and ask Lord Li to take over the post of Jiedushi and lead the Chongzhou army to fight against the bandits."

The second one also knelt down and said, "Kneel down and ask Lord Li to avenge Lord Qian and Lord Cai!"

After the beginning, the next ones are the third and fourth.

Finally, everyone knelt down and shouted in unison: "Please ask Lord Li to lead Chongzhou, protect our people, and fight against the bandits!"

Li Yanqi casually put the military token into his arms, stepped forward to help everyone up, and showed a non-aggressive smile.

"My Lords, please stand up."

After everyone stood up, Li Yanqi sat back at the head.

He narrowed his smiling eyes and glanced at everyone, "Aren't you tired of standing? Sit down."

Everyone responded, but except Ma Ben, they all looked terrified and only dared to sit on half of the chairs.

Li Yanqi tapped the table lightly with his fingers, raised his eyes and said, "Since everyone is seated, I have a few words to say to you."

"Cai Zhang and Qian Sanwen think that officials and soldiers are noble. I think you all think the same way, right?"

He laughed sarcastically and said, "In Li's eyes, there is only a difference between soldiers and bandits. Those who serve the people are soldiers, those who harm the people are bandits, and those who attack our country are thieves."

"I just don't know what you gentlemen...?"

The people sitting below the table could no longer sit still and were trembling as they stood up to show their loyalty.

Li Yanqi waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "What's the point? I didn't mean anything else by saying this, I just want you to think about it carefully first."

Everyone sat down again, shaking their legs.

They all secretly groaned in their hearts, what else does this mean? It's just short of asking them directly whether they want to be soldiers or bandits!

Li Yanqi adjusted his sitting posture and said slowly: "The sage said that when the granaries are full, one knows etiquette, and when one has enough food and clothing, one knows honor and disgrace."

"We only see the rudeness and arrogance of the refugees, but they were originally good people. It was the persecution of Liu Ping and Han Guang that forced them to leave their homes and walk hundreds of miles to our Chongzhou. After these refugees were incorporated into the patrol camp, have they ever caused trouble again?"

Ma Ben pursed his lips and nodded, then raised his eyes to look at the lieutenant generals on his left and right, who also had sad expressions on their faces.

Li Yanqi went on to say: "Seven or eight out of ten members of the patrol camp are refugees from Maozhou. I know the brutality of the rebels better than you do. Once the gates of Chongzhou are opened, the people of Chongzhou will face a catastrophe."

"You and your families, close friends, and neighbors are all citizens of Chongzhou. Liu Ping and Han Guang have many trusted followers, and they are all aggressive and aggressive. Once the city is broken, no one will be able to escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in light armor couldn't help but stand up first.

"Master Li, please tell me how to deploy the defenses!"

The others also stood up and shouted in unison: "Master Li, please show us how to deploy our defenses!"

Li Yanqi tapped the table with his fingers and said with a smile, "No hurry. Zhuang Xingbai, the head of the barracks' internal affairs, has prepared good wine and good meat. Let's go back to the barracks first and teach these tens of thousands of brothers to eat and drink as much as they want, and then we can talk about other things."

Having said that, he stood up and walked out first.

Everyone was shocked again, thinking that the guards of the Jiedushi Mansion were all good soldiers in the army, and the sudden death of three people in the hall might not be so easy to explain away.

The horse galloped out swiftly, and the crowd hesitated for a moment and then followed.

When they got outside, everyone was just feeling lucky that they knew how to act.

In the Jiedushi's mansion, the gate was surrounded by soldiers in fine armor. Two men who looked like leaders were standing in the courtyard and bowed to Li Yanqi.

One was a one-armed man, and the other looked younger and frail.

Li Yanqi let the two of them out and introduced them to everyone: "Let me introduce you to these two. They are... the sons of Hu Zhongqing, the governor of Maozhou, who was persecuted by Liu Ping and Han Guang."

"They are also the commanders of my patrol camp, Hu Ruiqi and Hu Ruilin."

The lieutenant general's officers looked at the man who was talking in shock, and a feeling of admiration arose in their hearts.

Ma Ben was even more impressed, as he felt he saw it clearly.

Li Yanqi's words just now, using both soft and hard tactics, tied everyone's interests together.

He also said that Liu Ping and Han Guang had many cronies and were cruel, and achieved two goals in one sentence.

Let’s not talk about these for now.

He was really shocked by the explanation and understanding about the militia, bandits and refugees.

Isn’t it said that Li Yanqi is an illiterate gang leader?

Ma Ben's eyes were filled with excitement. He looked deeply at the handsome man riding the horse with one hand. He vaguely saw hope.

As the sun rises, this chaotic world will eventually come to an end.
