"Big brother, this Liu Biao doesn't know what the hell he's doing. You don't have to bird him, you can still drink at home, I'll drink with you!! ”

A thunderous voice sounded in the hall, and Zhang Fei said disdainfully.

On the side, a red-faced, long-bearded, heroic man nodded yes.

"Yes, the third brother is right. After our arrival, this Liu Biao was polite and courteous on the surface. But behind the scenes, they are always on guard against us. You see, there is not a single bucket of food and grass for us every month. Now I have asked my eldest brother to go to the banquet, I think, it must be a Hongmen banquet, so don't go! ”

Liu Bei, who was sitting in the main hall, was silent for a long time and sighed.

"Liu Jingsheng is my imperial brother, so he shouldn't harm me. When we are in trouble to invest, people give money and land, and we should not complain more. If I don't go this time, won't I be telling the truth?! ”

"If you want to go, you can go, we will lead the troops and station outside Xiangyang City. If the big brother is in danger, we can also go to help immediately! ”

Guan Yu touched his long beard and said.

"That's right! It's still thoughtful for the second brother! I'm going to prepare! ”

Zhang Fei slapped the table, got up and rushed out.

"Third brother, no!! I'll take Zilong with me this time! ”

Seeing that the two wanted to say something, Liu Bei waved his hand.

"I have made up my mind, if I do not return for three days, you will go and seek me. So be it!! ”

Guan Yu and the two glanced at each other and sighed secretly.

Night, in the palace of the general of Xiangyang City. The lights are bright, and the sound of music is fluttering. With a smile on his face, Liu slowly walked into the lobby.

Everyone in the hall bowed one after another.

"See Ming Gong!"

"Excuse me, excuse me! Please take a seat! ”

Everyone slowly took their seats, and after everyone was seated. Liu Biao smiled slightly and clapped his hands.

I saw a woman in a green shirt slowly walk in between the halls, and walked in front of the guqin that had already been placed in the lobby. Smile and salute everyone.

I saw that this woman's skin was as white as jade, and her lips were like cinnabar. Yanran's smile made everyone feel like a spring breeze, especially the bright eyes, which made it pure and playful. It's exciting.

Especially Lu Tianba, who was sitting in the middle of the left side, his eyes lit up when he saw this woman, and his breathing was a little short, although he still couldn't understand why Liu Biao had to let his father bring him, but he unexpectedly saw the person he liked here. It also made him happy.

After giving the salute, the woman slowly knelt beside the piano and raised her jade hand. Gently pluck the strings...

The sound of the piano is gentle and melodious, sometimes calm as water, sometimes rushing like waves. Listening to the crowd, everyone was fascinated and couldn't help but close their eyes.

"Boom..."

The last sound fell, and the lobby was silent. A moment later, there was a burst of admiration and cheers.

The woman slowly got up and bowed to everyone again. He came to a table on the right side and sat down on his knees.

Yao Changfeng looked at his daughter with satisfaction, the people present today are all figures with heads and faces in Jingzhou, and his daughter's performance made him stand out from the limelight, and at this moment he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smile.

Yao Qing lowered her head, her expression slowly relaxed. Such an occasion and practice really made her unhappy. According to her personality and thoughts, she should draw her sword and dance at this moment, or find a few strong samurai to try to fight, how happy it would be.

But she knows that her performance is very important to her father. So when her father asked her to come with her and show her talent, she did not refuse by temperament, but agreed and tried to save face for her father. Apparently she succeeded.

Liu Biao touched his beard and smiled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how is Miss Yao Qing's piano skills?!"

His question made everyone praise again.

After a moment, he turned his head to look at Liu Bei, who was sitting in front of him. Said with a smile.

"Xuande, how is this girl?!"

Liu Bei immediately bowed his hand, not hiding his praise at all.

"Miss Yao Qing is both talented and beautiful, which is really rare in the world!!"

"Yes! Xuande, you know, to conquer the world, rely on elite soldiers and strong generals. And the rich world depends on the rich businessmen.

You see that Jingzhou is rich in the world, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Not only does it rely on the strength of the soldiers, although the Yao and Lu families are not involved in political affairs, but the stability and prosperity of Jingzhou all depend on them. I think I rode into Jingzhou alone, if it weren't for their money and grain. With great help, how can I have Liu Biao today! ”

Liu Biao said impassionedly, not caring at all about Cai Mao, who was sitting at the front with a gloomy face.

"What Ming Gong said is extremely true, Jingzhou can have today, all rely on Ming Gong's wisdom."

"Xuande, you also said just now that Miss Yao Qing is a rare woman in the world. It seems that Xuande also appreciates it very much, so it is better for the old man to be a matchmaker today. How about letting Miss Yao Qing only play the piano for Xuande in this life?! ”

Liu Biao looked at Liu Bei with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Especially Lu Tianba, instinctively wanted to stand up. Seeing his father's extremely stern gaze, he forced himself to sit down and looked to the side with a gloomy face.

The most surprised was Yao Qing, she didn't understand until now why her father brought her. She bit her lower lip, tears rolling in her eyes. Some looked helplessly at their father.

Yao Changfeng sighed secretly, he had already prepared in his heart. Originally, when he thought that the Lu family would let Liu Biao open his mouth to him, he had already thought of what to say. Unexpectedly, a Liu Bei suddenly appeared, and for a while, Yao Changfeng was a little overwhelmed.

"Ming Gong's good intentions, Liu Bei understood it. It's just that there are already two wives and concubines in the next room, and if it is undecided today, Liu Bei, as a member of the Han family, does not dare to think about him. ”

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Xuande's words are wrong, the love of men and women is a matter of course. As for the determination of the world, the country. Think long-term. You and I are brothers, if Xuande can tie the knot with Miss Yao Qing, it will be even more kissing.

And Xuande is the emperor's uncle today, the hero of that time. I think Miss Yao Qing must be in love too, isn't it Changfeng?! ”

Liu smiled and turned his head to look at Yao Changfeng.

"What Ming Gong said is that if the little girl can marry the emperor's uncle, it will be a blessing for the little girl!!"

Yao Changfeng clenched his fists and said with a forced smile. The atmosphere in the lobby was a little weird for a while.

This is a major event in life, Xuande can think about it slowly, and the old man is waiting for good news. Come on, drink, please raise the wine in your hands, let's drink a bottle together! ”

The dinner ended slowly in their own thoughts, after everyone had a polite meeting. Slowly left, but everyone's faces were gloomy as water when no one noticed.

"Daddy!! How can you sell your daughter to someone else?!!! ”

As soon as she returned home, Yao Qing couldn't help crying and yelling at her father. She really didn't expect that her father, who had always regarded herself as the pearl of her palm, would do such a thing.

Yao Changfeng closed his eyes and sighed. He didn't know how to explain to his daughter that the Yao family was able to get to where it is today all because of Liu Biao. In Jingzhou, the Yao family can offend anyone, but not Liu Biao.

Although the Yao family was kind to him back then, he could be in front of realistic interests. Who will take care of this, he can also leave here with his daughter, he can do without all this glory and wealth. But he is now the head of the Yao family, and behind him are thousands of clansmen and ordinary people who rely on the Yao family to live. He has become a representative of this small interest group, and even if he wants to quit, others will not let him quit.

He can't explain all these to his daughter, and he can't understand it.

"Qing'er, you have to get married sooner or later. Sooner or later, I will leave my father. No matter what Liu Bei says, he is a relative of the emperor and the country, and he can be regarded as a character. It's not too much of a loss to marry him! ”

Yao Changfeng almost gritted his teeth and said these words, he had to be ruthless. He can only be ruthless.

"Daddy..."

Yao Qing burst into tears and looked at her father's tall back. She fell into deep despair.

Dragging her tired body, Yao Qing returned to her room. Sitting at the table, his empty eyes staring out the window blankly, motionless.

"Miss, are you alright?!"

Chunlan plucked up her courage and asked. She could see at a glance that something must have happened to Yao Qing, she knew her young lady too well, from childhood to adulthood, which day was not lively and cheerful and carefree. It will never be like this today.

"Chunlan, you go out first, I want to be alone and quiet. I won't call you, you won't be allowed to come in!! ”

Chunlan hesitated and left the room.

With a flash of her eyes, Yao Qing saw the night robe she had placed on the bed, and the unedged sword hanging on the wall.

Since she was a child, she has envied those chivalrous men in the rivers and lakes, happy to take revenge, and save the dead. I often disguise myself as a man, pretending to be a chivalrous man to help others as much as I can.

Looking at it, tears flowed again. Now, who can help themselves?! How she wished that a chivalrous man would appear at this time and disappear here forever with herself!

Thinking of this, her blank eyes lit up. She came up with a solution...

Lu's house, inside the study. After Lu Tianba followed his father back home, the two sat in the house without saying a word.

Especially Lu Tianba, a cold light flashed in his eyes from time to time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Liu Ming knew what we meant, why did he do such a thing. I said why he made a special explanation for taking you there, because he wanted to do it in front of us. Why?! ”

After a long time, Lu Zheng broke the silence. Spoke out about the problem that he couldn't figure out.

Lu Tianba let out a sigh of relief and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. Calm yourself down, after a few moments. He spoke in an uncertain tone.

"Either he is testing us, or he is testing Liu Bei."

"Huh?! What do you mean by that?! ”

………

Also having this question is Cai Mao.

In the general's mansion, Cai Maozheng's own sister, Liu Biao's wife, Cai, discussed tonight's affairs.

Cai's family knows Liu Biao better, and she listened to Cai Mao's story. After a little thought, the answer came to fruition.

"It seems that the old man doesn't believe Liu Bei, his trick is not new. Hasn't he been like this to the three of us all these years?! ”

Cai Mao was a little confused.

If Liu Bei agrees to this, it means that Liu Bei is willing to stay in Jingzhou with peace of mind. He can take the opportunity to woo him, and if he doesn't agree, he can prepare as soon as possible.

Also, the old man obviously knew that the son of the Lu family wanted to marry the young lady of the Yao family in his dreams. He did this on purpose, huh! He absolutely does not allow the slightest possibility of joining the color of supporting food and supporting soldiers. But no matter how the old man plays, as long as we hold the military power tightly, nothing will happen! ”

Cai Mao suddenly admired his sister so much. He often thinks that if his sister is a man. I am afraid that few people in today's world are its opponents!

"The old man has a shrewd and practical trick. But there are fatal flaws, and I have a way to make him unable to play! ”

"Oh?!"

Cai Mao's eyes lit up...
