Early the next morning, under Liu Xie's arrangement, Lu Lingqi dressed up as Liu Biao's maid.

Fortunately, Liu Biao is also an understanding person, and he did not go back to his own house to live, but lived in Jingzhou Mansion.

First, Lu Lingqi has seen Mrs. Cai, so that she does not have to expose Lu Lingqi's identity, and secondly, Liu Biao's ears are also clean, and she does not have to face Mrs. Cai's nagging.

Originally, Liu Xie also wanted to stuff Ma Yunlu over, but Liu Biao had two people to protect him, so he could be considered stable.

But Ma Yunlu's yellow hair was too dazzling, and in desperation, Liu Xie dispelled this idea.

In the morning, Liu Xie suddenly received a letter from the general Zhang Liao from Chang'an.

The letter said: Cao Cao has recently had a military operation, and Zhang Liao closely monitored, but the army sent by Cao Cao suddenly disappeared in the Meiwu area.

Meiwu is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an, located in the southwest of Chang'an, and can reach Wancheng through Dasanguan.

And in the south of Wancheng, crossing the Han River is Xiangyang City.

Cao Cao's secret military operation, what could it be?

With the current situation, Cao Cao will not be an enemy of himself on the surface, so there is only one possibility, he is coming to Xiangyang.

It's just that why did his soldiers point to Xiangyang?

Now that Jingzhou is surging and Cao Cao has another military operation, no matter what he wants to do, Liu Xie is vigilant.

"Yunlu, you go back to Xudu immediately and let General Xu Huang lead troops to reinforce Wancheng."

"At this time, you must not let the people of Cao Cao's lineage know."

Liu Xie said to Ma Yunlu.

"Yes."

Although Ma Yunlu wanted to stay by Liu Xie's side, he also knew that things had changed, so he immediately took three guards and returned to Xu Capital as quickly as possible.

The reason why there is no flying pigeon message is because Liu Xie wants to make the increase of troops the most secretive.

"Perhaps, Cao Cao's military campaign is aimed at me."

Liu Xie pursed his lips, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He Cao Cao has a plan to increase his troops, doesn't he have it?

Now, Liu Xie can be sure of one thing, the person who went to see Mrs. Cai secretly in the carriage must be Cao Cao's person.

And what the Cai brothers and sisters dare not do, Cao Cao's people must dare to do.

There is a great possibility that Liu Biao will be assassinated.

Fortunately, Liu Xie has taken precautions in advance!

……

In the evening, Cai Mao's house.

Cai Mao held a banquet and let her collection of Meiji come out to sing and dance.

His two younger brothers, Cai Zhong and Cai He, also tried their best to flatter and curry favor with the two middle-aged men.

And the two of them were sitting precariously, dressed as scribes, and they were Liu Biao's two major think tanks, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers.

"Brother Zirou (Kuai Liang's character), Brother Yidu (Kuai Yue's character), how is today's dance?"

Cai Mao walked to the table and asked with a smile.

Although he and Liu Biao are related by marriage, the status of the Kuai brothers is not lower than him at all.

When Liu Biao first entered Jingzhou and took over the Jingzhou clan, in military terms, he relied on Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Huang Zu and others, and in terms of wisdom, he relied on the Kuai brothers.

Although Cai Mao now holds the military and political power in Jingzhou and has 50,000 sailors under his command, Liu Biao obviously trusts and values the Kuai brothers more.

"Today's dance is beautiful, and people are even more beautiful."

The person who spoke was his brother Kuailiang, he was dignified, and although he was praising on his lips, anyone could say it, and he was saying polite words.

Now that Liu Biao has set up his eldest son Liu Qi as his son-in-law, Liu Cong has no hope, and they also want to see what Cai Mao wants to do when he invites his brother to come to the banquet.

"Haha, since Brother Zirou likes it, then these beauties will be given to Brother Zirou."

Cai Mao is very generous.

"Brother De Jue (Cai Mao's words) is polite."

"As the so-called gentleman does not take the favor of others, these beautiful women are the treasures of Brother Deju, how can we accept it?"

Kuai Liang said with a smile, in addition to the cooperation in government affairs, the relationship between the Kuai family and the Cai family is also good, he can't accept Cai Mao's kindness, but it's not good to save his face, so he can only be euphemistic.

"Eh, Brother Zirou is still polite to me?"

Cai Mao beckoned, and Mei Ji came over one after another, surrounding the Kuai brothers.

Although Er Kuai did not accept it, he did not refuse, seeing this, Cai Mao further said: "Brother Zirou, Brother Yidu, you are also the right-hand man of the lord, and now the lord Liu Qi is the son-in-law, what do you think?" ”

"Brother Deju, this should be the lord's family matter."

Kuai Yue replied with a smile.

Kuai Liang also said: "Brother De Jue has an in-law relationship with the lord, and the lord's second son, Liu Cong, is also your nephew, but since the lord has already established a successor, in my opinion, everything should be stopped." ”

"Zirou, Xeno, that's not what you said at the beginning!"

Cai Mao is anxious, the Kuai family is also quite influential in Jingzhou, if the matter of the heir can be supported by them, other families will also stand in line.

At that time, it will not be difficult to force Liu Biao to abolish Liu Qi's position as his son-in-law.

Now, these two old foxes, they don't care?

"At this time and that time, with the influence of your Cai family, Liu Cong may be the most likely to become a son-in-law."

"However, now that the son-in-law has been decided, Brother Deqi should not continue to dwell on this matter."

"However, we can persuade the lord to change his mind, after all, the Cai family is the lord's henchmen and siblings."

Saying that, Kuai Liang got up directly, gently pushed away Mei Ji beside him, and said to Cai Mao: "Brother De Qi, there is still something at home, I am out of company." ”

With that, the Kuai brothers walked out.

Cai Mao's face also became very ugly, and any kind words were just polite words.

Others don't know, but he knows that the person who made Liu express his determination to become a successor is the one who killed a thousand knives in the Son of Heaven.

"I knew that Erkui was so unreliable, I should have fought them in the first place!"

Cai Mao was furious and slammed her fist on the table.

Over the years, in order to consolidate her power, Cai Mao has excluded dissidents, but she has been soft on Erkuai.

First, the relationship with them is really good, and second, the second is that the strength of the second is tough, and he may not be able to fight.

But now, Cai Mao has to change her opinion again.

"Big brother, sister is here."

Cai Zhong came over and said.

Soon, Mrs. Cai walked over quickly and asked, "Big brother, what did the Kuai brothers say?" ”

"What else can I say, of course they won't get involved in it."

Cai Mao's nose was panting, although he was angry, he also knew that participating in the seizure of the heir would not be beneficial to Erkui at all.

If the Kuai family is like this, then other families, let alone other families.

Liu Qi has not yet become the lord of Jingzhou, and the status of the Cai family is already like this, so in the future, when Liu Qi succeeds to the throne, will he still have a good life?

Thinking of this, Cai Mao was completely moved by murderous intentions, and said to Mrs. Cai: "Sister, I think what Guo Jia said before does have some truth. ”

"You mean, you're going to kill ......"

Mrs. Cai was shocked, Liu Biao was the lord of Jingzhou, her husband, and Liu Cong's father.

"When Liu Biao's bastard made Liu Qi his son-in-law, did he ever take care of you?"

"And Liu Biao is nearly fifty years old, and you are only in your twenties, what are you doing guarding an old man?"

"You are still young, as long as Liu Biao dies, we will control Jingzhou, and then the young talents of Jingzhou will not be at your disposal?"

Cai Mao said that when he was excited, his eyes were red, and he said in a deep voice: "If you don't kill Liu Biao, my Cai family will never have a foothold in Jingzhou!" ”
