"The Son of Heaven fled to Jingzhou, what a major event, then Su Ziming should report to the government, how dare he accept the Son of Heaven without authorization and start a war with the Xiliang Army?" Although Liu Biao's expression changed, he questioned it.

Cai Mao's tone was playful, and he said slowly: "A few days ago, Su Ziming claimed that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban would commit a crime in the future, and he asked for hundreds of thousands of stone grains and grass from the lord, but he heard that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was killed by Cao Cao and lost a series of battles, and there was no sign that he was about to invade my Jingzhou. ”

"And." Cai Mao's tone was aggravated, and then he said: "That Su Zhe used the name of resisting the invasion of the Yellow Turban Thieves to expand his troops and horses, and he also made a large number of tuntians in Wancheng Xinye and other places, without the approval of the lord at all, what does he want to do?" ”

"There is also the matter in front of him, the Son of Heaven is coming to Nanyang, what a great thing this is, until now, Su Zhe has not even reported it to the lord, what is he thinking about this?"

Cai Mao counted Su Zhe's suspicious actions one by one, and Liu Biao's face became more and more gloomy, and the suspicion in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

Liu Biao slowly stroked his beard and glanced at the two brothers of the Kuai family.

Kuai Liang's eyes also flashed with suspicion, and he frowned: "According to Cai Beijia's words, what Su Ziming has done recently is indeed a little suspicious. ”

"It's not just suspicious, it's suspicious." Kuai Yue flicked his hand, "From all kinds of signs, Su Ziming's ambition has become clear, and his subordinates think that if the lord no longer takes measures against him, Nanyang is afraid that he will change his banner." ”

Change the flag!

These four words roared in the lobby like thunder, causing Liu Biao's body to shake slightly, and his face changed suddenly.

Cai Mao followed closely and said: "Kuai Yidu is reasonable, I have long seen that Su Zhe has a backbone in the back of his head, but he has been suffering from no conclusive evidence, and now that Su Zhe secretly hid the Son of Heaven and did not report it, he finally showed his feet, he clearly wanted to hold the Son of Heaven hostage, betray the lord, and become a hero!" ”

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao are the representatives of the Jingxiang clan, and the two of them sang and drank against Su Zhe, and the rest of the civil and military generals joined in.

Liu Qi, who had been silent, listened to his face becoming more and more gloomy.

Liu Biao didn't take the case, just had a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice: "That Su Zhe is just a man from a humble family, and this government single-handedly promoted him to the position of Taishou, and he can be regarded as a kind of acquaintance, this government treats him so kindly, why did he do this?" ”

"Then you have to ask the eldest prince, after all, this Su Zhe is highly recommended by the eldest prince." Cai Mao's gaze slanted at Liu Qi.

He wanted to embarrass Liu Qi in front of everyone, and naturally there was a suspicion of revenge, who made Liu Qi ignorant of his actions, unwilling to marry their Cai family, and asked to marry Cai Shu.

"Qi'er, then Su Zhe was indeed recommended by you, and now that something like this has happened, how can you explain?" Liu Biao's tone also implied a bit of resentment, and at this time, he couldn't defend his son.

Liu Qi slowly stood up, glanced at everyone, and suddenly smiled, laughing very easily.

He smiled slightly, and arched his hand towards Liu Biaoyi: "Father, my son thinks that the imagination of the big guy is too rich, and without any real evidence, he dares to conclude that Su Ziming wants to rebel, and my father doesn't think it's ridiculous?" ”

Liu Biao's eyes were suspicious, and he was immediately dispelled.

Cai Mao snorted coldly: "At this time, the eldest prince is still defending Na Su Zhe, is it not enough to prove his ambition to accept the Son of Heaven without retribution?" ”

Liu Qi smiled and said: "I remember, Cai Beijia just guessed that the Son of Heaven might have arrived in Nanyang, why did it become certain in the blink of an eye, which sentence did Cai Beijia let me listen to you?" ”

Cai Mao was speechless.

"Although Cai Beijia is a guess, if the Son of Heaven did not arrive in Nanyang, then why would Dong Zhuo send 10,000 heavy troops to invade my Nanyang for no reason, how can this be explained?" Kuai Yue stood up and questioned.

Liu Qi secretly gritted his teeth, but said: "This is also what I don't understand, so in order to find out the reason, I plan to go to Nanyang in person and ask Su Ziming everything you question." ”

As soon as these words came out, the lobby was suddenly silent, whether it was Kuai Yue or Cai Mao, they were speechless.

When it comes to this, the eldest son of the family has to go out in person to find out, what else can they say.

Liu Biao didn't want to continue the argument, so he decisively ordered the discussion to be dismissed.

The crowd retreated, leaving only his father and son.

At this time, Liu Biao's expression softened, sighed, and asked, "Qi'er, you tell the truth to your father, do you really have any doubts about Su Zhe?" Or do you have to continue to shield Su Zhe in front of them because of your face? ”

Liu Qi's face was a little ashamed, and he arched his hand and said: "Son doesn't dare to hide it from his father, Son did suspect it, that Su Zhe was ambitious, but Er thought about it again, that Su Zhe is just a cold man after all, he should know very well that with his own background, meaningless ambition will only be in vain, and he will die and be famous, and Er really doesn't believe that he has the guts." ”

"But what they say is not unreasonable." Liu Biao still had doubts in his eyes.

Liu Qi snorted coldly: "The Kuai family and the Cai family saw that Su Zheming shook Jingzhou and threatened their power, so it is reasonable for them to attack them in groups. ”

Liu Biao nodded slightly and said, "Qi'er, you are right, then what are your plans to go to Nanyang?" ”

Liu Qi said with a straight face: "My son went to Nanyang this time to make a final test of Na Su Zhe to see whether he was loyal or traitorous." ”

"Well, that's fine." Liu Biao nodded, but said again: "Also, this family matter of the Huang family can't be delayed any longer, when you see that Su Zhe this time, you must let him make a break with the girl of the Huang family." ”

Liu Biao arched his hand and said confidently: "Father, don't worry, my son will never let our plan be ruined in the hands of Su Zhe, Miss Huang is married!" ”

……

A few days later, Wancheng.

In the Taishou Mansion, Su Zhe was listening to Li Yan's latest report on Tuntian and recruitment.

At this time, the soldiers hurriedly entered, claiming that the eldest prince Liu Qi was about to arrive in Wancheng.

"A few days after the son received the Son of Heaven, this Liu Dagongzi came all the way to Wancheng, and the purpose of this trip is suspicious." Li Yan reminded.

Su Zhe sneered: "Let's have such a big battle in Nanyang, it's not normal if there is no rumor from Xiangyang, I expect that this eldest son Liu is most likely here to test the truth." ”

After saying that, Su Zhe happily got up and decided to go out of the city to greet him in person.

Although he has made up his mind that as soon as the time comes, he will play the trump card of the Son of Heaven and become a hero, but now the time has not come, and it is not the time to turn his face with Liu Biao, this play will still be performed.

When riding out of the city, Liu Qi and his entourage had already arrived at the south gate.

Su Zhe greeted him and arched his hand with a smile: "What kind of wind blows the eldest prince here, why didn't the eldest prince call the ward early, and the lower official should go to Hanshui to pick up the eldest prince in person." ”

Liu Qi smiled: "My son knows that you are busy with affairs and dare not disturb you, so I didn't have an early ward." ”

"The eldest prince laughed, no matter how busy the lower officials are, they have to find time to greet the eldest prince." Su Zhe humbled for a moment before asking, "I don't know if the eldest prince suddenly came to Wancheng, does he have any important tasks to explain?" ”

Liu Qi said: "Naturally, it is because you, Su Ziming, defeated the invasion of the Xiliang people and made great contributions, so my father specially sent me to comfort and reward you." ”

"Whereever, this is all within the duties of the lower officials, and the lord has made a big move." Su Zhe became more and more humble.

At that moment, the two exchanged a few polite words, and then rode side by side, slowly entered the city, and went to Taishou Mansion.

After passing through the city gate and walking on the bustling street, Liu Qi suddenly whispered: "Ziming, I heard that the Son of Heaven and the Queen fled to Wancheng, but is there such a thing?" ”

"The Son of Heaven and the Queen are coming to Wancheng? When was this? How did I not know? Su Zhe looked surprised, as if he didn't know anything.

Li Yan, who was accompanying him, looked at Su Zhe's realistic expression, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Childe's acting skills are really more amazing than his ability to understand the heavens, admire, admire......"
