Inside the awning boat, there were only Liu Manqing and a girl.
Just now, the Liu brothers and sisters rescued the man in the water and found that he was a girl of twelve or thirteen years old.
The girl was so groggy that she fainted immediately when she saw their brother and sister.
It seemed that all the strength he had exerted while floating on the water was now exhausted.
Liu Manqing took a set of his own clothes for the girl to put on, and then gently called the girl.
But the girl was breathing heavily and couldn't wake up at all. She must have been too sleepy.
Liu Manqing shook her head, covered the girl with a thin blanket, and got up and got out of the awning boat.
"How are you?" Liu Jinpeng looked up and asked when he saw his sister coming out.
"well!"
"She must be exhausted. I don't know how many days she has been floating on the water. Let her sleep." Liu Manqing sighed and said.
"Manqing, please stay and take care of her tonight." Liu Jinpeng suddenly said.
Just now he was thinking about what happened at night and felt a little uneasy.
A young girl came up and asked her sister to stay.
Liu Manqing shook her head resolutely and said in a deep voice:
"Second brother, I have to go no matter what today, and I must avenge my father."
After finishing speaking, Liu Manqing looked back at the awning boat, and then said to the reed swamp not far away: "Ayao, go back and pick up Xiaocui."
"Yes, Miss Third." A responding voice came from the reed marsh.
Although the Liu family is almost dead, the dozen or so people who followed their brothers and sisters to the countryside that day have survived.
Ayao is a servant of the Liu family, loyal and capable.
As dusk approached, a small boat sailed out of the reed swamp in the south. On the boat were A Yao and his maid Xiao Cui.
This time the Liu brothers and sisters are going to avenge and kill people, and of course they cannot take their maid Xiaocui, who has low martial arts skills, with them.
But now that he had picked up a sleeping girl, Liu Manqing could only ask someone to take Xiaocui over and take care of her.
After giving orders to Xiaocui, the sun is already fading away.
Two more servants were left in Wu Peng Chuan, and then the Li brothers and sisters took A Yao to the city to join the dead waiters.
The Liu family were wanted by Miao Ji, so they could only sneak into Baling in batches.
The area retained by Baling City under natural disasters was much larger than that of Jiangzhou, so Miao Ji did not move outside the city to build a new city.
Instead, a relatively well-preserved wealthy manor house in the city was used as the new government office.
As for the head of the government office, he has already driven him to the slums.
"Have you not found those Liu family fish that slipped through the net?"
At this time, in Miao Ji's study, a man wearing a general uniform was reporting to Miao Ji.
This man actually carried two scabbards on his back.
Miao Ji was very concerned about the remnants of the Liu family.
The Liu family is a local prominent family, highly respected by the people, and the Liu family is also a family of military generals. Miao Ji wants to eradicate such people.
"My lord, we have captured several members of the Liu family recently. According to their accounts, the two remnants of the Liu An family should have fled to Tanzhou."
"Hmph! It's unlucky that two little fishes escaped. I'm afraid they will reappear."
"Don't worry, sir. As long as we control the entire Yuezhou, we are not afraid that the Liu family will cause trouble."
Miao Ji frowned and looked at the officer, then asked: "How is the training of the soldiers?"
"The combat power has been significantly improved. With these three thousand people in our hands, it will definitely not be a problem to hold Yuezhou and move south to Tanzhou!"
The general said with confidence.
"As soon as the rainy season ends in August, we will attack Hongzhou and Tanzhou. In these troubled times, we can only gain a foothold by acquiring more territory." Miao Ji said gloomily.
"Alas! It's a pity that Ezhou has been conquered first by the king of Jiangzhou. Otherwise, it would be more convenient for us to go down the river and drive directly to Yuezhou!" The general frowned.
"The King of Jiangzhou has integrated all the counties in Ezhou, so we don't need to fight with him."
As Miao Ji spoke, he unfolded a map, looked at Ezhou and Jiangzhou, squinted his eyes, and continued:
"If we attack Ezhou by force, even if we win in the end, we will still suffer losses."
"It's better to go south to Tanzhou or east to Hongzhou. The princes in these two places are very incompetent, and they still don't have any decent armed forces."
The general came over, nodded and said, "My lord, that's what you said. According to the spies' reports, Tanzhou and Hongzhou are indeed easier to get than Ezhou."
As he spoke, he said in a contemptuous tone:
"The same is true of the heavenly king, the king of Tanzhou and the king of Hongzhou, these two losers."
Miao Ji was stunned for a while and said: "Maybe this is the difference between the princes."
Thinking of Tan Ma from Ezhou, Miao Ji felt a little panicked.
Ezhou is stabilizing too fast, and it is said that the people are already moving towards living and working in peace and contentment.
If he had known in advance that the King of Jiangzhou was doing something like this, Miao Ji would definitely not expose his true nature and would insist on being a "good official."
Taking refuge with the King of Jiangzhou is also a good way.
It's a pity that everything is too late.
"Um?"
Miao Ji was distracted while looking at Jiangzhou on the map. Suddenly his expression changed and he suddenly looked up at the general.
The general frowned, put his hand on the blade of the knife and shouted in a deep voice: "Who!"
"Miao Ji! Come and accept your fate!"
"Bang bang!"
The door was kicked open violently, and the Liu brothers and sisters came in with steel knives in hand.
The brother and sister had just quietly eliminated several guards in the house, then forced them to find out where Miao Ji was, and came to kill them with steel knives.
"It's you! Humph! I'm looking for you!" The general looked at the Liu brothers and sisters and immediately sneered.
"Man Qing! I'll hold him back while you kill Miao Ji!" Liu Jinpeng stared at the general and said.
"You two come together!"
The general drew out two scimitars with his backhand and pounced directly on the Liu brothers and sisters.
Forced the two of them out of the room.
"Kill! Kill the corrupt official! Miao Ji suffers death!"
The brother and sister took action at the same time, but the general blocked them from the left and right, and they fought evenly.
In the yard, the patrolling soldiers heard the noise and came to support, but they were intercepted by Liu family's dead soldiers.
Suddenly the sound of killing broke out.
At this time, Miao Ji walked out of the room calmly and saw him taking off a small horn from his waist.
"Woooooo~" the horn sounded, and reinforcements from the military camp would arrive soon.
"Hmph! Miao Ji, don't expect anyone to save you! Today is the day you die."
Liu Jinpeng sneered.
Following his words, bursts of fire and shouts of death came from the military camp not far away. The Liu family's people were already wreaking havoc there.
Miao Ji, on the other hand, just frowned when he saw the fire.
"My lord, let's go quickly!" The general-looking man was fighting one against two and was gradually losing ground.
"Go to hell!"
Liu Manqing opened the knife, raised his left arm, and shot two sleeve arrows.
"Puff!"
The general was hit by two arrows on his left shoulder.
Liu Jinpeng took advantage of this opportunity and stabbed the man directly.
"Miao Ji! It's your turn!"
Liu Jinpeng killed Miao Ji, and the brother and sister approached Miao Ji with knives.
Miao Ji looked at the Liu brothers and sisters and suddenly sneered.
"I didn't want to be exposed at first, but it seems I have to take action today!"
Miao Ji whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
