At the prefect's manor.
Liu Qing sat in the main seat, quietly waiting for the arrival of Lu Bu and the other two.
"My lord, how do you know he's Ye Wang?”Huang Zhong asked in confusion.
Liu Qing said calmly," Although it is fertile land, there is no one there for several miles. It should be because the government office is preventing the foreign cavalry from looting, so they did not let the people out. Why do you think there is only a farmer here? His hands are not used to plant crops!”
"I see!" Huang Zhong suddenly realized that Liu Qing was really a god.
"Da, da, da!"
Liu Qing tapped his fingers on the table and looked at the sword. He and Huang Zhong were taking a huge risk by entering the city alone.
This was because he wanted to see what the officials and soldiers of this county, which stood at the forefront of the chaos and stood the most unshakable, looked like.
"My lord!" Suddenly, Ye Wang interrupted the knocking and appeared in the hall with three generals in broken armor.
"Gulp!"
Liu Qing raised his bronze goblet and took a sip of bitter wine. He raised his eyes and sized up Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun.
In the entire Bing Province, there weren't many people who could catch his eye. Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Lu Bu were just a few. What he valued more was the bloodlust of the men of Bing Province who had bathed in the flames of war.
Ye Wang stood in the hall, his scalp tingling. In the end, he could not bear the pressure in the hall and gave Zhang Liao a look.
"Yanmen Prefecture Yin Mansion Guard General Zhang Liao greets the Provincial Governor!”Zhang Liao shouted.
"Shuofang County Linrong Guard General Gao Shun greets the Provincial Governor!”Gao Shun said solemnly.
"Wuyuan County Jiuyuan Guard General Lu Bu greets the Provincial Governor!”Lu Bu lowered his head and said.
"Ciyin!"
Liu Qing pulled out his three-foot-long blade and said indifferently,""Gao Shun, Lu Bu, when you were young, your prefectures and counties fell into the hands of outsiders.”
"Ding Yuan was once the prefect of Wuyuan County, and he appointed my father as the general of Jiuyuan!”Lu Bu raised his head and said.
Liu Qing swung the sword in his hand and stabbed it into Lu Bu's feet. He said indifferently,""Since that's the case, since Nine Plains has fallen, you should be executed for your crimes. This provincial governor will grant you the punishment of suicide!”
"Hiss!"
Lu Bu sucked in a breath of cold air. He had always thought that he was the number one martial artist in Bing Province. Now that he saw Liu Qing's move, he was certain that Liu Qing was not weaker than him, or perhaps even stronger.
"What, you don't dare?" Liu Qing sneered.
"Sir, Fengxian has made great contributions. He has led the Yanmen cavalrymen many times to fight against the foreign cavalrymen!" Ye Wang said anxiously.”
"Merit?"
Liu Qing's eyes turned cold. Why did the counties of Taiyuan die thousands of miles away and the people die young? Does he deserve to die?"
"Sir, we can atone for our sins!”Gao Shun said solemnly.
"Atonement?"
"How many of the 40,000 households in Wuyuan County are left after all these years? You told this provincial governor to atone for your sins. You dare to call yourself the garrison general of the fallen land, but did you lose Ming City?”
Liu Qing walked in front of Lu Bu and pulled out his sword. He placed it in Lu Bu's hand and said coldly,""Either commit suicide or kill this provincial governor and live in the mountains and forests!”
Lu Bu's hand that was holding the sword trembled slightly. He looked at Ye Wang with a pale face, his eyes pleading and questioning.
He was still not the insufferably arrogant Wen Hou of the later generations, nor was he the ghost hero who could fight against ten thousand people. It was inevitable that he would feel a little terrified when facing such a situation.
Ye Wang shook his head and said in despair,""There are more than 40,000 troops outside the city!"
"Haha!"
Lu Bu laughed miserably." I didn't expect that I, Lu Fengxian, would die under my own sword today after escaping from Wuyuan and roaming Yanmen!"”
"Please!" Liu Qing turned around and walked towards the main seat, looking at Huang Zhong.
Lu Bu raised his sword high and said in despair,""Mayor Ye, don't forget about my father's revenge. Kill Ding Yuan!”
"Swoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Just as Lu Bu was about to swing his sword, Huang Zhong shot out an arrow. The arrow struck the sword at an extremely fast speed and broke it.
Half of the long sword slashed across, and a shallow wound appeared on Lu Bu's neck. Only a tiny drop of blood seeped out.
"Lu Bu, you owe this Provincial Governor a life. When the other races are destroyed, that will be the day you repay your debt!”Liu Qing looked down at Lu Bu.
Clang!
Lu Bu threw away his short sword and respectfully said,"Greetings, Lord!"”
"Leave the city and head outside with your sword. Take over the three thousand Bei Wei Army and follow this provincial governor to battle in a few days!”Liu Qing said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
" Understood!" Lu Bu replied, then lifted his broken sword and walked out of the manor.
Ye Wang was at a loss. He didn't understand what had happened here, nor did he dare to ask. In the blink of an eye, Lu Bu had recognized him as his master?
"Gao Shun greets the lord!" Gao Shun said helplessly.
"Zhang Liao greets the lord!" Zhang Liao was smart and could not help but be shocked by Liu Qing's methods.
Liu Qing nodded slightly." Hansheng, go and hand over the military power to Governor Ye. Do not interfere with government affairs. Then, bring the officials of Yanmen here!"”
"Yes!"
Huang Zhong and Ye Wang said respectfully.
