Given the cleverness of the Liu brothers, they would surely escape first.

Once they leave Bazhou, they will no longer be under Sang Yu's jurisdiction.

This way, one can neither defy the wishes of the palace eunuchs nor harm the Liu brothers, Liu Liu and Liu Qi.

A win-win situation.

However.

After spending several days traveling, he finally arrived at the village in Wen'an County, only to find that the Liu brothers, Liu Liu and Liu Qi, were still fast asleep at home.

Sang Yu was furious.

Someone shouted: "Come out and surrender now! Swords have no eyes, or you'll only face death!"

Liu Qi finished the last sip of wine from the wine jug, his smile extremely bitter.

What joy is there in living, and what sorrow in dying?

"Brother, I'll go first."

He picked up the sword from the ground.

Liu Liuhu's eyes were filled with tears: "Seventh Brother, there's always a way out. Why take your own life?!"

Liu Qi: ? ? ?

Who would commit suicide?

Liu Liu: "The imperial court is going too far! We might as well rebel!"

Liu Qi was stunned.

My elder brother has always been honest and used to try to curry favor with nobles and make a good living.

Even such an honest person would rebel?

Just then, it became unusually lively outside.

The sounds of fighting blended together.

Someone shouted, "Sixth brother, seventh brother, your brother Yanming has come to save you!"

The Liu brothers walked to the window and saw Qi Yanming leading about ten men, who had tied up dozens of government soldiers with ropes, already downstairs.

"The imperial army is utterly defeated. Don't be afraid, at worst, we'll rebel against them!"

Filled with heroic spirit, Liu Liu took out his bow and arrows and shot at the government troops brought by Sang Yu, killing several on the spot.

Sang Yu led his men in defeat and retreat.

"Lord Zhang, our government troops in Bazhou are all old, weak, sick, and disabled. They were no match for Liu Liu and Liu Qi and suffered a crushing defeat!"
