Chapter 348: Jingzhou Changed Hands (Part II)
"The eldest son, where the duty of the last general lies, I hope the eldest prince will not be embarrassed!" Wang Wei hesitated, but finally chose to stick to his position.
Liu Qi frowned, and Liu Pan said sharply: "Today, I have to see my father, I see who dares to stop me!" ”
After speaking, he escorted Liu Qi and rushed to the house.
Seeing this, Wang Wei immediately drew his sword and said loudly: "In this way, the last general will be offended!" ”
"Yide!" Liu Bei said in a deep voice.
Zhang Fei on the side immediately drew his sword and held Wang Wei's sword, and everyone strode forward, and the surrounding guards wanted to stop it.
"Who dares to move!?" Liu Panhu's eyes widened and he shouted.
He has a prestige in the army, and he is Liu Pan's nephew, at this moment, the surrounding soldiers saw that Wang Wei was suppressed by Zhang Fei, and those who came in were headed by Liu Qi and Liu Pan, and no one dared to stop him for a while.
"What, you can't rebel!?" Just when the guards were at a loss and were pushed away by Liu Pan and others, they heard a loud shout, and a woman walked out of the main hall and said loudly.
The woman is in her forties, with a sense of nobility in her graceful appearance, and her phoenix eyes are cold at the moment, but she is quite powerful, it is Cai's.
"The child wants to see his father, and he wants permission to do so." When Liu Qi saw Cai's habits, he instinctively felt a little frightened and bowed down.
"My husband is seriously ill, how can I see the spirit of this sword soldier?" Cai said coldly.
Liu Pan frowned and said, "Even if you don't see me, but the eldest prince is the son of the King of Chu, why can't he see him for so long?" ”
When Cai Shi heard this, his eyebrows frowned slightly, but then he eased up and said with a smile: "Qi'er can see it, but you are waiting to go straight to the palace with swords and soldiers, do you want to rebel?" ”
"I ......" Liu Qi looked at Liu Bei and Liu Pan, and hesitated for a while, in fact, when Cai came out, he was already a little timid.
"The eldest prince will go by himself, with me waiting here, it will be fine." Liu Pan said coldly: "I'll wait here for the son." ”
"Lord, General Liu, I'm afraid this is Mrs. Cai's plan to delay the army!" Chen Gong frowned and leaned over to Liu Bei's side, and said in a low voice: "Send someone to escort the son." ”
Liu Bei nodded, and also felt reasonable, after all, they were in such a big battle, it was impossible for the Cai family not to get the news, and if it was delayed for a moment now, the Cai family would have more time to react, and turned his head to look at Liu Pan and said, "General, this ......"
"I accompanied the eldest prince in, Xuande Gong took everyone here, if there is an accident, Xuande Gong will rescue in time." Liu Pan thought about it, and felt reasonable, so he nodded and instructed.
"Okay." Liu Bei didn't hesitate, nodded in response.
Liu Qi saw that Liu Pan was with him, and his heart was a lot bolder, and he nodded in agreement immediately, Cai saw Liu Pan following, frowned and said, "General Liu, what does this mean?" ”
"My uncle treats me like a parent, and now that my uncle is seriously ill, Pan naturally wants to meet my uncle." Liu Pan said indifferently.
Cai Shi frowned, but seeing that Liu Bei and the others had begun to occupy the front yard, he nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”
Turned around and took the two into the back garden, this road has been walked many times by both Liu Qi and Liu Pan, naturally it is no stranger, but what makes Liu Pan frown is that there are many guards here, but the maids and servants who should be in the house are gone, his heart sank, his eyes fell on Cai's body, and his hand was unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the sword, he was a general in the army, and he could detect the faint soldier's spirit from these guards, this is not an ordinary guard.
Under the leadership of Cai, the two came all the way to the attic where Liu Biao was recuperating, Cai's turned his head, looked at the two of them and said, "Wait a while, I'll go and see if my husband wakes up." ”
Liu Pan turned his head and looked around, always vigilant, as for Liu Qi, he didn't have Liu Pan's concerns, Cai's willingness to let him in to see his father had already made Liu Qi feel a little flattered, and nodded in agreement immediately.
Cai Shi turned around and pushed the door in, but then closed the door, and put the door bolt on the door, Liu Pan heard this sound, and felt bad, just to pass the word, why do you want to put the door bolt on, this is clearly not ready to let them in, at the same time Liu Pan found that the guards around him were moving closer to this side, who didn't know the plan, and didn't care about any etiquette, he grabbed Liu Qi, who was still in a beautiful fantasy, and kicked the door open with his foot.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
They were greeted by three men dressed as men with bows and crossbows, and when they saw the door of the room open, three crossbow arrows were fired at them.
"Poisonous woman!" Liu Pan pulled Liu Qi behind him, dodging the two arrow clusters, but was finally shot by the third arrow cluster, screamed in pain, drew his sword and scolded sharply, but there was still Cai's figure.
After shooting an arrow at the three family members, he directly threw away the crossbow bow, drew his sword and rushed towards the two, although Liu Pan was hit by an arrow, but his courage was undiminished, a sword separated a person's sword, and his backhand wiped the throat of another person, blood spurted all over, and rushed towards the attic with Liu Qi, the other two chased after him, but he was killed by Liu Pan on the stairs again, and the remaining one did not dare to step forward alone, and watched the two escape to the second floor.
A rancid smell permeated the second floor, Liu Pan swept his eyes, saw a person lying on the bed, and took Liu Qi forward, it was Liu Biao lying on the couch, but it was obviously when he had been out of breath for a long time, and his skin had begun to fester.
"Father!" Seeing Liu Biao's body, Liu Qi screamed in pain and fell to his knees.
"Childe, this is not the time to be sad, we should quickly notify Xuande Gong to save us!" Liu Pan cut off the arrow feather on his shoulder with an arrow, and shouted loudly.
At the same time, the guards downstairs had already rushed up the stairs, Liu Pan hurriedly grabbed them, guarded the stairs, waved his sword, and killed the guards who rushed up one by one.
Liu Qi nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly came to the window to shout.
"Puff~" The two crossbow arrows shot through Liu Qi's chest at the moment when Liu Qi appeared, Liu Qi's body stiffened, followed by seven or eight arrows.
"Childe!" Liu Pan was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly rushed up to pull Liu Qi away, more arrows shot in, Liu Pan waved his sword to block, and pulled Liu Qi into the corner, but Liu Qi was hit by several arrows, seeing that there was already more air out and less air intake, Liu Pan's eyes were split, and when the arrow rain stopped, a group of guards rushed up to the attic to kill this side, Liu Pan roared angrily, swung his sword and killed, killing three people in a row in an instant, and at the same time kept roaring, so that the sound could be transmitted to attract Liu Bei.
In the front yard, Liu Bei, who was waiting anxiously, suddenly heard the fighting and roaring in the distance, and his face changed: "It's not good, it's a plan!" Soldiers, kill with me! ”
Wang Wei also wanted to block, was kicked to the ground by Zhang Fei, Liu Bei took the lead, holding a sword in both hands, he rarely used his hands on weekdays, once he started to do it at this moment, the ability to spend the rest of his life was unfolded, the double sword danced, the sword pointed directly at the vital point, and where he passed, the guards who came up were killed by him like mowing grass.
With a sword, Zhang Fei was not as fierce as Liu Bei when he fought.
The group quickly entered the back garden, and saw a group of guards besieging the attic, Liu Bei led people to kill without saying a word, and the guards couldn't stop it, and the people who were killed by Liu Bei and Zhang Fei turned over on their backs.
Liu Bei yelled towards the attic: "Where is the son?" Where's Childe!? ”
In the attic, Liu Pan heard the fight downstairs, knew that it was Liu Bei coming, and hurriedly jumped down from the window, hearing Liu Bei's shout, Liu Pan said loudly: "Xuande Gong, the son was killed by the poisonous woman's ambush, and the king of Chu has been dead for many days!" ”
Liu Bei's body trembled when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said: "As the palace guard, you dare to murder the king of Chu and his son!?" Kill me! ”
Wang Wei, who had just followed up, was also dumbfounded, Liu Biao is dead? And dead for many days?
These guards in the palace were secretly transferred in by Cai He these days, although they were also from the army, but which were the opponents of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Liu Pan, and they were soon cleared up, Zhang Fei took Wang Wei, who was depressed, to the attic, threw Wang Wei directly in front of Liu Biao's couch, and scolded angrily: "If you hadn't obstructed it many times, how could the King of Chu be so blind?" Now that the eldest prince is also dead, are you satisfied!? ”
Wang Wei looked at Liu Biao's body on the bed in a daze, which had festered, obviously caused by being dead for many days, for a while, his eyes were distracted, and he suddenly pulled out his sword, and was about to kill himself, but Liu Bei held him down.
"Wang Wei's crime is unforgivable, and there is only one death to repay the king of Chu!" Wang Wei gritted his teeth and said.
"The general is a loyal and brave man, and there is no fault, but the poisonous woman used the loyalty and courage of the general to have today's affairs, the crime is not in the general, it is right to keep a useful body and be loyal to the country!" Liu Bei persuaded.
"Brother, I didn't see the poisonous woman, it seems that she has already run away!" Zhang Fei was covered in blood and came to Liu Bei's side with several soldiers.
"Not good!" Chen Gong's face changed when he heard this, and he looked at Liu Bei and said: "The opportunity is revealed, and the poisonous woman will definitely provoke Cai He and Zhang Yun to make trouble, and the chaos should be calmed down as soon as possible." ”
"But now that the King of Chu and the eldest prince have passed away, who will give orders?" One frowned.
"Then you need to ask? Regardless of prestige or ability, you should respect your brother! Zhang Fei said without thinking.
These words made many people frown, Liu Bei is a virtuous name, but saying this makes people instinctively feel unhappy.
"Yide, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei frowned, glared at Zhang Fei and scolded sternly, then turned around, looked at Liu Pan and said: "General Liu Pan has fought for the King of Chu for many years, and he has always had prestige in the army, so it is time for General Liu Pan to give orders!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a lot more comfortable, Liu Pan shook his head and said: "I can charge into battle in the next place, but command and dispatch are not my strengths, and now Jingzhou has suffered a big change, and it is necessary for Xuande Gong to preside over the chaos." ”
"No!" Liu Bei shook his head and said, resolutely not.
"It's okay for everyone, you two are pushing back and forth like this, and when the discussion is over, I'm afraid that Cai He and Zhang Yun will come up!" Zhang Fei saw the two pushing back and forth, and was a little impatient.
"Please give the order!" Liu Pan first saluted Liu Bei and said, "Pan is willing to be sent!" ”
"Lord, at such times, it is better to calm the chaos first!" Chen Gong also persuaded.
Liu Bei saw that he couldn't give in, so he finally nodded and said: "Okay, after I wait to sweep down the rebellion, kill the poisonous woman, and clear the remnants of the Cai family, then ask Gongzi Cong to succeed him as the king of Chu, and before that, I will issue an order from my brother on behalf of Bei Temporary!" ”
Everyone said yes in unison.
