Chapter 124: The Storm Is Unappeased
Not long after Li Jue was dragged down, I saw a soldier walk in with a tray in his hand, and a bloody head was placed on it.
Looking at Li Qi's dead head, the left and right Wenwu expressions were awe-inspiring, and after glancing at Cai Mao deeply, he simply lowered his head.
Li Qi is a lesson from the past, at this time... Who dares to pop up.
"Gentlemen, do you still have objections?"
After Li Qi's death, Cai Mao's mood seemed to be a little better, and he waved his hand to let the armorer step down, and when he saw Cai Mao walk off the stage... Asked as he looked around.
"I'm waiting... May the Lord make a last wish. β
Whether you are convinced or not, whether you respect the new lord or not, in the face of Cai Mao's persecution... Everyone had to follow Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue to bow down to Liu Cong.
At this moment, Jingzhou's day... It's changed!
Above, Liu Cong sat in the seat of the state pastor, looking down at the hundreds of civil and military ministers in Jingxiang, and his heart couldn't help but be excited... Panicked, I finally waited for this day, and sat on the position of Jingzhou pastor as I wished.
From today onwards, he Liu Cong will be the heaven of Jingzhou and the king of Jingzhou.
β¦β¦
In the evening, forcibly ... Liu Qi finally arrived at the city of Xiangyang.
"Eldest son, the situation is not good... Caution is also needed. β
Looking at the Xiangyang City Gate that closed early not far away, the Iraqi nationality who followed Liu Qi ... His expression sank, then he turned over and dismounted, came to Liu Qi's car, leaned over and whispered.
"Uncle Ji, what's going on?"
Hearing Yi's words, Liu Qi lifted the curtain and walked down, following Yi's gaze... Looking at it, his expression gradually became heavy.
The gate of Xiangyang is Xiangyang... The faΓ§ade of the seven counties of Jingxiang is stable and peaceful... Symbol.
In the past, whether it was the Great War of the North and the South, or the snowstorm and thunderstorm, there has never been a move to close the door in advance in the past ten years.
If the door is closed today, there must be something wrong in Xiangyang City.
"Who is the city guard? I am the eldest prince Liu Qi, and now I am under the order of the state pastor... Rush back to Xiangyang and quickly open the city gate. β
After moving forward for a while, he stopped a stone's throw away from the city gate, and Liu Qi looked at the flickering and dim firelight at the head of the city... Ning shouted.
"It's Liu Qi, Liu Qi is here!"
Cai Zhong and Cai He, who were guarding the main gate, hurriedly poked their heads out after hearing Liu Qi's voice, and looked at the slightly vague figure outside the city and were shocked.
"I'm staring here, you go and get the eldest brother."
Now although Liu Cong is sitting in the position of Jingzhou pastor, but... The turmoil in Xiangyang City has not completely subsided, Liu Qi... The news of coming to Xiangyang is still known to as few people as possible.
Taking a deep breath, Cai Zhong turned his head to Cai He and said.
"That's good! You are here to keep an eye on, don't go out of the pool, I'll come when I go. β
β¦β¦
"Come, come here!"
Watching Cai He walk down the city, Cai Zhong glanced outside the city, and then turned his head to summon a military marquis.
"You go and reply to Liu Qi, let him wait for a while, I'll wait... I'm going to report it. β
For Liu Qi, because of his previous different positions, Cai Zhong was just disgusted with him, but... During Jingjing's trip, Liu Qi secretly instructed Liu Pan to ambush and kill them, which completely made Lieutenant Cai hate Liu Qi to the core.
If it weren't for Cai Mao's early orders, Liu Qi couldn't move lightly, at this moment... He had already ordered the left and right archers to shoot Liu Qi to vent his hatred.
"I have seen the eldest son, please wait a while, the humble position has let people go to pass the word... I hope that the eldest prince will wait patiently for a while. β
Listening to the sound coming from the city, Liu Qi frowned slightly, didn't say anything, turned around and went back to the carriage.
"Uncle Ji, you say... What did my father mean by calling me back this time? β
From the beginning to the present... There are strange things everywhere, even if Liu Qi has been thinking about it for a long time, he is still... There is no answer.
"The eldest prince, now that he has arrived in the city, these things... When I saw the state pastor, I naturally knew something. β
Although the two of them guessed something, but... The changes in Xiangyang City are destined to exceed the expectations of the two.
β¦β¦
It didn't take long for the armor on the city tower to shake, and I saw Cai He walking closely with Cai Mao.
"But the eldest prince in person?"
Looking at the carriage outside the city, surrounded by scattered torches, Cai Mao chuckled lightly and asked aloud outside the city.
"Cai Mao!"
For Cai Mao's voice, Liu Qi and Yi are no strangers, and they lift the curtain... glanced at Yi Yuan, and the faces of the two suddenly darkened.
In the city of Xiangyang... I'm afraid that something has happened that they don't know about!
"I didn't expect that it was the general of the military division who came."
Signaling the carriage to move forward, Liu Qi stood under the city... looked up at Cai Mao in the city and responded lightly.
"Knowing that the eldest prince returned to Xiangyang, De Qi'an dared not greet him in person."
Looking at Liu Qi under the city, Cai Mao suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
The once majestic prince of Jingzhou is being played with by his backhand at the moment, and he still doesn't know it.
"I don't know what the eldest prince has to do when he returns to Xiangyang without authorization? The old lord ordered the eldest prince to Yongzhen Jiangxia to resist the soldiers of Jiangdong, and he had a great responsibility... If Jiangdong knew that the eldest prince had returned, and sent a large army to conquer, Jiangxia would have no one to sit... How is it good? β
After a few words of greeting, Cai Mao stopped being polite with Liu Qi, and directly labeled Liu Qi as leaving his post without permission.
"Humph! This time he returned to Xiangyang, but he was ordered by the state pastor to quickly open the city gate. β
Seeing Cai Mao's words turn around, Liu Qi naturally couldn't hold back on his face, and his tone was naturally not much better... But at this moment, Liu Qi's voice suddenly paused, and he asked loudly towards Cai Mao on the top of the city tower with a panicked expression.
"Cai Dejun... What do you mean? What old lord? My father... What's going on? β
It was as if he had experienced a baptism of thunder in his mind, and Liu Qi's eyes gradually lost their brilliance.
The one who squawds... The "father" who stirred up the situation in the north and south actually died?
"The lord died tragically last night, and he was ordered by the lord... Cong Shizi inherited the position of state pastor..., Liu Qi... The sky in Jingzhou has changed. β
"I don't believe it! Open the gates, I'm going to see my father!" β
Hearing Cai Mao's words, Liu Qi was like a beast that had lost his mind, roaring madly outside the city.
"You don't have to believe it! The remains of the lord... It is what Xiangyang Wenwu has seen with his own eyes, and there will be no fake!
The lord has just died, and he doesn't want to see blood. The eldest prince should return to Jiangxia immediately and stabilize the situation in Jiangxia. β
Cai Mao hooked his left hand, and hundreds of crossbowmen instantly poured out of the city tower, bending bows and arrows... Pointing directly at Liu Qi.
"Cai Mao... Are you rebelling? Who is it... Give you the guts?
It's called Liu Cong... Get out of here and see me!! β
Looking at the hundreds of bows and crossbows in the city, Liu Qi's expression changed, fear, anger, hatred... Countless complex emotions filled his chest, as if he was about to burst.
"Please forgive me for the offense! Merely... The lord died just last night, and in the afternoon, after Cong Shizi ascended the throne, he was assassinated, and at this moment... The eldest prince also said that he rushed back to Xiangyang on the order of the old lord, which really made people feel too strange..."
"For the sake of both you and the state pastor, the eldest prince should return to Jiangxia immediately!"
Looking down at Liu Qi, who was in chaos, the cold light in Cai Mao's eyes became a little more vigorous, and after a while... I saw that the corners of Cai Mao's mouth rose slightly... He replied in a solemn tone.
"Cai Mao !!"
Seeing that Cai Mao had indiscriminately put a malicious hat on herself, Liu Qi lost his mind again.
Whatever the facts, once the news of the day comes out... What will the people of Jingxiang think when they talk about him Liu Qi again?
"Eldest Prince, please go back!"
With a wave of his left hand, at Cai Mao's signal, hundreds of arrows pierced the night, with a piercing whistling sound, and they were inserted in unison... A foot away from Liu Qi's carriage...
Looking at the dense arrows in front of him, not only Liu Qi changed color, but also the Yi nationality and the accompanying fine horsemen... They all looked at each other for a while, and then raised their shields to guard the carriage in the center.
"The eldest prince, Liu Cong is on the throne, Cai Mao is only afraid that he has collected the internal and external military power, and Xiangyang is no longer a place to stay for a long time, so he should return to Jiangxia first... Then make a plan, the best strategy in the direction..."
Looking at Liu Qi, who was depressed, Yi Yuan took a deep breath and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade.
At this time... Cai Mao has great power in his hands, does he really dare not kill Liu Qi?
The reason why the killer has not been killed is just to stabilize the current situation.
Kill Liu Qi... Not only Liu Qiyuan raised troops in Jiangxia's old ministry, but also Liu Xuande in Xinye, Wen Ping, Wang Wei, and other generals with heavy troops... I'm afraid that in the name of Qingjun's side, Cai Mao will be killed...
But if Liu Qi has not known how to advance or retreat, it has completely angered Cai Mao, and the development of the situation... I'm afraid it will be completely beyond their imagination.
"Uncle Ji..."
Looking at the Yi nationality beside him, Liu Qi's face was full of unwillingness... He couldn't swallow this breath.
"The eldest son... Focus on the big picture! β
Yi Ji probably knows Liu Qi's thoughts at the moment, Liu Biao's death, Liu Cong's ascension, and successive changes... Coupled with Cai Mao's deliberate humiliation today... Liu Qi can feel good in his heart, that's a strange thing.
But... Today's breath must be swallowed if you can swallow it, and you must swallow it if you can't swallow it.
Because, it is possible to live! To die, doomed to lose everything.
"Back... Go back to Jiangxia! β
Facing Yi's longing and hopeful gaze, Liu Qi finally struggled... He lowered his angry, unwilling head and turned into the carriage.
"Whew..."
Seeing that Liu Qi endured it, Yi Yuan Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered the left and right elite horses to turn back to Jiangxia.
"The eldest prince is easy to go, Shu Deqi is on official business, and he can't be sent away."
Yi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and Cai Mao didn't breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but fortunately, Liu Qi didn't rush forward desperately like a stunned person to die, otherwise... Cai Mao really didn't know if he wanted to kill Liu Qi here.
Well walked! Well walked!
As long as these few days have passed, the military power of Wen Ping, Wang Wei and others has been collected, Liu Qi... It's not at his mercy.
At that time, even if the killer killed Liu Qi, he was doomed... It won't make any waves.
......
The messy sound of horses' hooves and the screeching of wheels seemed to be the only thing in the night.
After traveling more than ten miles to the southwest, Liu Qi, who had been silent, finally calmed down and lifted the curtain... Summoned I.
"What does the eldest prince command?"
Seeing Liu Qi return to his former look, Yi Ji also completely relaxed, and immediately asked.
"Uncle Ji, you go to Xinye... Tell my uncle about my father's death and Liu Cong's leadership of Jingzhou, now that Cao Cao is raising his army to the south, and Cai Mao regards his uncle as a thief, I am afraid that Cai Mao will secretly harm my uncle..."
Now that Liu Cong is in charge of Jingzhou, Cai Mao's authority is bound to increase day by day, and he wants to protect himself... So that Cai Mao didn't dare to do it without permission, and the only way to seek allies was to do it.
In this Jingzhou, who is... Will it be more suitable than Liu Bei in Xinye?
