"Brother Zhang, I have prepared some fine wine in the car, and I will ask Brother Zhang to enjoy it tonight."

After waiting for a few rounds of praise by the surrounding people, Liu Cong held a folding fan in his hand and walked over slowly.

However, Liu Cong also seemed to understand what this trip meant to him, and when he faced Zhang Yong again, his posture seemed to be a little higher than two days ago.

Also.

It can be said that from today onwards, he Liu Cong will be the son of Jingzhou Ming, and what he is missing is just a great gift from the prince and an official announcement.

Now his father is seriously ill and dies soon.

In a few months, in the seven counties of Jingxiang, millions of people will prostrate at his feet, turning power and discourse, and now it seems... It is indeed much stronger than Zhang Yong.

"Haha... The wine is in front, the beauty is on the side, and the son is invited... How could I not go? ”

As a person who has come over, it is not difficult for Zhang Yong to understand the reason why Liu Cong is dangling around him again and again, which is nothing more than showing off.

Although Cai Ji is blessed, Liu Qi has the righteousness of his eldest son in his hands after all, so that Liu Cong has been in the state pastor for a long time with his tail between his legs.

Now that the cage is unlocked, it's not unbearable, it's just a teenager's heart in the final analysis.

This kind of person, as long as he touts and touts, it is much simpler.

"That Liu Cong... Tonight, we'll sweep the couch and wait for each other. ”

Seeing Zhang Yong so upright, he gave face like this in front of so many people.

Liu Cong's face became a little more ruddy, and his gaze towards Zhang Yong became more and more favorable.

To be honest, before this, when Liu Cong first heard the news that Zhang Yong had become the prince.

The envy and jealousy in his heart almost overflowed, after all, among the second generation of princes in the world, the one he knew best and was the most similar was Zhang Yong.

Originally, both of them were not from the background, and there was a big mountain on them, so they shouldn't be able to see the clear road.

Who would have thought that Zhang Yong would fight repeatedly, show his toes, win the throne of the prince, and be in the limelight in the battle with Jingzhou... So much so that when he slept every day, he dreamed that he was like Zhang Yong, fighting with Jiangdong and Cao Jun in Jiangxia and Nanyang Jinge Iron Horse, saving Jingxiang from thousands of times.

But he also knew that he was destined not to be like Zhang Yong, who simply ascended to the position of the son of the world.

But... Fortunately, now that the shackles called Liu Qi have finally disappeared, he doesn't have to repeat that strange dream day by day.

……

Nanjun, Xiangyang.

There are many ignorant people in this world, but there are many people who have seen it.

Liu Cong led a group of scribes who participated in the Xiangyang Cultural Society to Jingshan, and naturally there was no shortage of people with a heart to find it, of course... This is also due to the fact that the state pastoral government is secretly fueling the trouble.

South of the city, Liu Qi's mansion.

is different from Liu Cong, after Liu Qi became an adult, under the wind in Cai Ji's ears, Liu Biao drove Liu Qi out of the state capital and opened another mansion.

Of course, for his own son, Liu Biao has not yet reached the point of deafness.

rewarded a mansion covering an area of dozens of acres, not to mention, and gave Liu Qi the authority to recruit personal soldiers and open a mansion to recruit staff.

But it's a pity that maybe after Liu Qi followed Liu Biao to Jingzhou, he was deeply influenced by Liu Biao's behavior and style since he was a child.

Liu Qi not only inherited Liu Biao's weak physique, but also inherited Liu Biao's hesitant, cowardly and repeated temperament, so that a good hand of cards was played poorly.

Except for some die-hard thugs, there are few civil and military forces who can support the façade of the huge Grand Prince's Mansion.

Those nobles who were close to Liu Qi had even cut off contact with the Grand Prince's Mansion after learning the news of Liu Cong Jingshan and his party.

Surrounded by the sages around Liu Cong... At this moment, it is appropriate to describe the eldest prince's mansion as sparse.

……

Xiangyang, the eldest prince's mansion.

At night, the moon is bright, and it is indeed a good weather for sightseeing and moon viewing.

But... Liu Qi obviously didn't have this mood today, and the lights in the study of the eldest prince's mansion were flickering at this moment, and a few voices of invitations came from time to time.

"The eldest prince, when the judgment is constantly suffering, if Liu Cong is really on the throne, with Cai's temperament, although this Jingzhou is big, I am afraid there is no place for you!"

In front of Liu Qi, a burly man in his early thirties was half-kneeling on the ground, with a bit of determination in his eyes.

"Big brother, get up and speak!"

Looking at the man in front of him, Liu Qi's face was a little bitter and helpless, and he reached out to help.

In this Jingzhou, who can be called a big brother by Liu Qizun, except for Liu Pan, one of the few martial arts generals in Jingzhou who is refining gods and Liu Biao's son, who is there?

Compared with Liu Cong, Liu Qi grew up under Liu Pan's watch, and Gu had a close relationship... It can be said that he is a die-hard loyalist of the Grand Prince's Mansion, and it is also Liu Qi's most advantageous arm to intervene in military power.

For Liu Pan, Liu Qi is grateful.

He knew that during the period when Liu Pan led the army, the rewards and punishments were clear, and the soldiers were very powerful, and Sun Quan, who was forced, had to send Jiangdong fierce general Tai Shici to lead the troops to confront him. It's a pity... His eldest brother originally had a great future, but because he was too close to him, he was slandered by Cai, so he was left in detention by his father for two years.

"If the eldest prince doesn't make a decision, Pan won't be able to kneel for a long time!"

Shaking off Liu Qi's left hand, Liu Pan knelt and took a few steps back and bowed down.

"Eldest Prince, General Pan is right, there is no place for you in this Jingzhou. Now the Cai family doesn't dare to do anything, but... Once the lord died, this Jingzhou would completely become the bag of the four great families of Cai Kuai and Huang Pang.

The second son is not a big deal, even if he is in power, he will definitely become a puppet in the hands of the four great families, at the mercy of others. ”

"The eldest prince is really willing... The hard work of the lord for more than ten years was once dissolved, and he was willing to be willing to live in the seven counties of Jingzhou... Become the land of the ghosts? ”

Seeing that Liu Qi was unmoved, the left and right civil and military strategists all knelt on the ground, with a little sadness and indignation in their words.

Sacrifice your life, there is still a glimmer of talent, but if you don't do anything, up to Liu Qi... The civil and military servants of the Grand Prince's Mansion will become the target of Cai's anger.

"You... You are..."

"I don't know what you're talking about! It's just that Brother Cong is my blood brother after all, and I only have a few relatives in this world, and before Erniang died, I promised her to protect Brother Cong.

Internal strife... I..."

Looking at the few people in front of him, Liu Qi's outstretched hand hung down as if he had lost his last bit of strength, and his face revealed a bit of loneliness and sadness.

He is Liu Qi, not Qin II!

"The eldest prince has thought of brotherhood, but when has Liu Cong thought of brotherhood?

Life and death are at stake, even if the eldest prince cares about his own life, he must always consider the lives and deaths of millions of Li people in the seven counties of Jingzhou..."

"The eldest son! Think again!! ”

There was a loud bang, a dull loud bang, and I saw a strategist slamming on the ground, blood pouring in... Immediately dyed the whole shirt red.

"Hung Yen... Doctor Kuaisen!! ”

The strategist knocked on this, Liu Qi also panicked, and his attitude finally relaxed.

"This time Brother Cong went to Jingshan, my father openly and secretly sent hundreds of guards from the state pastor's mansion, among which there are extraordinary masters of refining and cultivating qi, even if I agree with you... And how? What can I do with just the hundred or so guards in my house? ”

"What's more, Brother Cong is now surrounded by the children of my Jingzhou family, if I show the news, I'm afraid that my father will kill me personally without waiting for the Cai family to make a move..."

"If the eldest prince is concerned about this, don't worry!"

Facing Liu Qi's hesitant gaze, Liu Pan suddenly got up and said.

"The military Sima of Jingshan Town is a general under his humble command! As long as the eldest prince gives an order, Pan will rush to Jingshan... Solve this problem once and for all. ”

Among the armies of Jingzhou, although his prestige is not as good as that of Wen Ping and Cai Mao, it is by no means beyond the reach of Zhang Yun and his ilk, and he naturally has the support of a large group of die-hard generals around him, even if he has been detained for two years... Their hearts remain the same.

"Even so... Please, big brother! ”

"Brother Cong is your brother after all... Let him go happily! ”

Slowly closing those bloodshot eyes, Liu Qi's voice was indescribably hoarse.

They are right, from the moment he became the eldest prince, the moment he built the mansion, he was not alone, there were countless figures behind him, and on his shoulders... It also bears the burden of millions of Lebanese people.

……

The top of Jingshan Mountain.

The moon and stars are scarce, the black magpies fly together, and a few ape chirping sounds are heard from time to time in the distant jungle.

Due to the arrival of Liu Cong, Zhang Yong and others, the casual guards of the state pastoral mansion drove down the talented and beautiful women who were squatting on the top of the mountain to watch the wind and moon early.

Not long after, with the presentation of delicious food and wine, the atmosphere on the top of the mountain suddenly became lively, with all kinds of poems and miscellaneous poems, touting, and flattery... The sound of wild laughter drowned out the rare tranquility at the top of Jingshan Mountain.

Although there are many arrogant people among the scribes, such as Pang Lin, Ma Tan, Dong Yun... and others, but there is no shortage of opportunistic people, under the praise of these people, Liu Cong drank a glass of wine, in just half an hour... He was carried down the mountain by the guards on the left and right, and went to the place where the tent had been set up at the foot of the mountain to rest.

With Liu Cong's departure, Cai Zhong Cai He and a group of guards and the vast majority of scribes also followed, in addition to bowing their heads to clean up a few slaves, only Zhang Yong, Meng Qiu, Zong Pre, Ma Jian were left on the peak... Less than ten people.

After a while, several slaves cleaned up and saluted Zhang Yong... He also went to the foot of the mountain.

"The arrogance of the young man is not worthy, and he is embarrassed!"

Looking at the disappearance of the slave, Ma Yan's face was slightly red, a little drunk, and there was a little disdain for Liu Cong between the outlines of the corners of his mouth.

"This Jingzhou... In the end, there is still no hope! If Liu Jingsheng goes, only with Liu Cong's generation... How can we carry the banner of resistance to Cao..."

On the side, Dong Yun was a little drunk.

Between the words, there is an indescribable loss.

Jingzhou... In the final analysis, they are all places where they were born and raised, but unfortunately, the Liu generation is not as good as the generation...

"Two virtuous brothers, be cautious! Beware of leaking rumors. ”

As the rising star of the Pang family after Pang Tong, Pang Lin has his own ambitions in his heart, and he is a pity that he will pay homage to the generals and govern the town, but it's a pity... Now that this Jingzhou Liu family is difficult to support, where is Jingzhou Road?

"Leaking the news!?"

"Even if the news really leaks out, what can it do? One general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies, and the lord of a state is incompetent, implicating thousands of Li people. What did he Liu, still afraid of being said by others? ”

Shaking his head, Ma Yan's voice suddenly rose a few points, full of strong wine, and his expression became more and more confused.
