Du Qi glanced at the three people who had just entered the dilapidated temple. They seemed to be in a hurry. Something must have happened. Although Du Qi was not afraid of trouble, he was too lazy to deal with them. At this time, Liu Jian had finished preparing dinner. Even if they were out, Liu Jian had a complete set of kitchen utensils. The dishes he prepared for dinner were not complicated. There was a plate of braised pork with soybeans, a plate of vegetables, and stewed rice.
The dishes were simple, but they were prepared by Liu Jian. Just the braised pork with soybeans was very fragrant, and the smell lingered in the temple. On the other hand, the vegetables were green in color and looked appetizing at first glance.
Du Qi did not say much, and directly asked them to eat. Liu Jian and Mordor wanted to go out for dinner, but Du Qi called them back and asked them to eat together. As they ate, the fragrance filled the air, and their tongues were moved.
"Father, I'm hungry."
At this time, the child in the corner of the temple had his stomach growling as he whispered.
The middle-aged man glanced at Du Qi and the others. He was a discerning person. As soon as he saw Du Qi, although Du Qi's clothes were very ordinary, his temperament was different. Together with Mordor and the others, he knew that Du Qi and the others were not simple people. Therefore, he lowered his head, looked at the child in his arms, and comforted him, "Bear with it. When we reach Chang 'an, there will be food."
The boy was very obedient. When he heard the middle-aged man's words, he nodded and said, "I'll listen to Father. I'm going to sleep. When I sleep, I won't be hungry."
When the middle-aged man heard this, a bitter expression appeared on his face. He reached out and stroked his son's head with a helpless expression. Even so, he did not speak to Du Qi and the others.
However, Du Qi could not stand it and ordered, "Liu Jian, send some food over."
"Yes, Young Master."
Liu Jian immediately responded.
When they were outside, whether it was Shangguan Yi or Liu Jian, as long as they were in front of outsiders, they would address him as Young Master. He put down the bowl in his hand and got up to take three bowls. He filled a small wooden bucket with rice, and a large plate with braised pork with soybeans and a small plate of vegetables. Then, he brought them to the middle-aged man. After he put it down, he turned around and returned, not saying a word from beginning to end.
When the middle-aged man saw this, a grateful expression appeared on his face. He stood up and bowed to Du Qi, saying, "Young Master's great kindness, this one can't thank you enough. May I ask Young Master's name so that this one can remember Young Master's great kindness and repay it in the future?"
His wife and son also stood up to thank him.
Du Qi waved his hand and said: "It's just a meal, don't worry about it."
After replying, Du Qi did not say anything else and continued eating. Seeing this, the middle-aged man opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw that Du Qi had already continued eating and completely ignored him, he gave up and started eating with his wife and children.
After both sides finished eating, they went to rest.
Mordor stood up and walked out to be in charge of guarding outside. Time passed, and Du Qi had already closed his eyes to rest. Mordor stepped in and came to Du Qi's side, saying in a low voice: "Young Master, there is a group of people outside approaching. There are about ten of them, and these people are riding horses. They are already approaching. "
Du Qi whispered: "Don't worry about it, just wait and see. Retreat inside, the people outside are ready at any time. "
Moledo nodded his head in agreement.
He went down to make some arrangements, then returned to the temple and sat down beside Du Qi to coordinate with Du Qi's safety. As long as Mordor was by Du Qi's side, there was no need to worry about Du Qi's safety.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
The neighing of warhorses could be heard outside the ruined temple, and soon, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.
A group of more than ten people quickly entered.
These people were all dressed in black warrior attire, and each of them looked lean and fierce. With just a glance, Du Qi had already determined that the dozen or so people who had entered were all from the military. Only those who came from the military could have such a solemn expression. The moment these people entered, the three people in the corner of the temple became nervous.
The middle-aged man stood up first, shielding his wife and children behind him with a vigilant look.
Among the dozen people who entered, a lean middle-aged man at the front said coldly: "Di Zhixun, run away! Now that you have fled to this ruined temple, there is no way out. Let's see where you can run to. His Highness thinks highly of you and appointed you, but you are not tactful enough to betray His Highness. His Highness wants to kill you, how can he let you escape? "
"You have fled all the way south from Bing Province to Chang 'an. Now that I let you escape, can you escape?"
The middle-aged man's voice was low.
His eyes were sharp as he stared at Di Zhixun with a murderous look.
The middle-aged man's name was Di Zhixun.
When he heard the man's words, he gritted his teeth and said: "Yu Lie, after Li Tai arrived in Bing Province, he didn't care about the lives of the people there and directly plundered their food. This kind of draining the pond to catch fish is the path to death. I tried to persuade Li Tai, but he didn't listen and insisted on doing it. The ruler chooses his subjects, and the subjects choose their ruler. Li Tai is heartless, so I should leave. "
"But Li Tai is relentless in his pursuit and insists on killing us. Yu Lie, you helping the tyrant will only speed up Li Tai's defeat. Now that Xia Xia is attacking, Li Tai can't stop him. "
"Li Tai can only bring about his own destruction."
While speaking, Di Zhixun looked at Du Qi and said: "Yu Lie, what happened between you and me has nothing to do with others. They are innocent, so please let them go. "
Du Qi's heart was moved at this moment.
He didn't expect to meet Di Zhixun on this trip and have a relationship with Li Tai. Du Qi knew who Di Zhixun was, especially Di Zhixun of Bing Province. He was Di Renjie's father. Apparently, after Li Tai arrived in Bing Province, Di Zhixun worked under Li Tai, but Li Tai didn't listen and wanted to kill Di Zhixun.
Du Qi didn't think this was a trap.
He decided to come out for a stroll at the last minute, and the route he took was also randomly determined. There was no trace of him, so it was impossible to determine his whereabouts. Therefore, meeting Di Zhixun was just a coincidence.
At this moment, Yu Lie also looked at Du Qi's group and said with a cold smile: "Chang 'an is in Xia Xia's territory, and the people of Chang' an all pledged allegiance to Du Qi, so they all deserve to die. Di Zhixun, after you die, I'll send them on their way. Also, I'll take people to the south this time and cause a massacre in Chang 'an to cause panic. When the time comes, Du Qi won't be able to eat or sleep well, and Chang 'an will be in turmoil. "
His words were full of iron and blood, and he didn't care about people's lives at all.
"Go, kill Di Zhixun first."
Yu Lie withdrew his gaze and gave the order directly. As the order was given, his subordinates moved quickly. One by one, they moved forward quickly toward Di Zhixun's position.
Du Qi nodded at Mordor. When Yu Lie's soldiers moved forward, Mordor had already stood up and unsheathed the saber at his waist with a clang. He took a step forward and swung the saber down.
The saber fell with the force of thunder and lightning. In the next moment, it fell on the neck of a soldier. The saber slashed, and blood spurted out. The soldier fell to the ground and didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end.
Mordor moved and swung the saber in his hand. In the blink of an eye, he had already killed five people who rushed out. In the end, only Yu Lie and the other four soldiers were left.
At this moment, Yu Lie was stunned.
There was a terrifying expression on his face.
Too strong!
