Liu Qi didn't get angry at this time, he just smiled, "I heard that someone sent General Zhang a secret letter on the other side of the river, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Zhang Xiu subconsciously touched his cuffs, and said with a cold face: "The eldest prince Hugh wants to listen to other people's nonsense, and I don't know Zhou Yu'er, how could I receive his secret letter?" ”

"Hahaha! Good! Since General Zhang didn't receive it, it must be someone else who deliberately transferred the relationship between you and me. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Liu Qi is here to make amends. ”

Liu Qi immediately bowed to Zhang Xiu, but there was a hint of chill in his eyes.

Zhang Xiu helped Liu Qi up, "The eldest prince doesn't have to be like this, as long as you and I work together, we will definitely be able to keep Jingzhou safe." This must be Zhou Yu'er's counter-plan, so that you and I will turn against each other, and he will reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

Liu Qi nodded, "Today is XX's birthday, and the city will hold a banquet in the evening, and I hope that General Zhang will be able to enjoy his face when he arrives." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and hesitated for a while.

"General Zhang, is there anything unspeakable? Or do you actually look down on Liu Qi in your heart? ”

Liu Qi's words made Zhang Xiu speechless, he hesitated for a moment, finally made up his mind, and nodded, "I will definitely go then." ”

Liu Qi nodded, "Then I will leave!" ”

On the way back, Gan Ning asked on the side: "Zhang Xiu'er must have two hearts, and the eldest prince may not dare to come to tonight's banquet." ”

"Mr. Zirou thinks, will Zhang Xiu come? If they don't come, what will I do? ”

Liu Qi was also a little apprehensive in his heart, even if he knew that Zhang Xiu had a problem, he was afraid that it would cause a huge riot at that time.

"The eldest prince needs to prepare with both hands. First transferred the second general Cai Zhang, and led an army of 10,000 to ambush around Zhang Xiu's camp. If he refuses to come, Gongzi will lead the army to the crusade for the crime of rebellion, and at that time, Cai Zhang and the two generals will kill together, and the battle can be decided. ”

Liu Qi sighed, "Alas, having said that, it is the next step. I only hope that Zhang Xiu can be restrained first, so that he can recruit his subordinates. ”

"The son is kind, but I'm afraid that Zhang Xiu's wolf ambition may not be willing to appreciate it. The surrender of Cao Cao before, and the reverse later, is a lesson from the past. ”

At this time, Gan Ning on the side also said: "Don't save this woman's kindness, don't keep it in trouble!" ”

Zhang Xiu camp.

As soon as Liu Qi left, Zhang Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Jia Xu on the side, and hurriedly asked: "Wenhe, Wenhe, did I offend you in something?" Why do you come up with such a bad idea to harm me? ”

Jia Xu's eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "Why did the lord say this? ”

"Now that Zhou Yu has used this strange letter to me, Liu Qi wonders in his heart, why didn't you let me excuse myself, but let me deliberately hide the letter, pretending to be really in collusion with Zhou Yu, tonight's banquet for Liu Qi, if I go, I will definitely die or live, isn't this harmful to me?"

Zhang Xiu finished speaking in her heart with great emotion, and then looked at Jia Xu anxiously.

"If the lord knows that this will be very dangerous, why should he follow the advice of his subordinates?"

Zhang Xiu was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Hehe, let the subordinates answer for the lord: because the subordinates have always been loyal to the lord and have never mistaken the lord, although the lord thinks it seems dangerous, he still does it."

Zhang Xiu turned his anger into joy at this time, and then bowed to Jia Xu and said, "It's me who recklessly misunderstood Mr., and please teach me, what is all this?" How to deal with Liu Qi's 'Hongmen Banquet'? ”

"Don't worry, lord! Kuailiang Liu Qi didn't believe in the lord, so Zhou Yu did this counter-plan, no matter how the lord explained, such a letter in hand would not help. Naturally, we came here to see the opportunity to act and help Sun Wu's army break through Jiangling. Now, Zhou Yu has done this counter-plan, thinking that the lord is suspicious of Liu Qi, so that the lord and each other are suspicious, and the lord can take advantage of this to turn against Liu Qi in one fell swoop, so that his reputation will not be damaged, and the world will only think that Liu Qi is unwise and fell into Zhou Yu's plan, but will not talk about the injustice of the lord; Second, you can create chaos and take the opportunity to rebel out of Jiangling, Zhou Yu will inevitably take advantage of the chaos to send troops to attack the city from Jiangbei, and Jiangling will definitely be at your fingertips at that time, but it will only achieve Zhou Yu's name. Jia Xu spoke eloquently, and Zhang Xiu, who listened to it, was dumbfounded.

"What Wen He said is extremely true, a certain must obey everything, but tonight's feast, what excuse should I use to shirk it?" Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu as if he was looking at a fairy at this time.

"Why do you want to dodge? Only by letting Liu Qi do it first can the lord justifiably oppose Liu Qi. ”

"However, this trip is dangerous, Liu Qi must have laid down a knife and axe, if he really goes, my life will be suspended!"

Zhang Xiu was naturally reluctant to risk his life, if he knew that he would die for a banquet, Zhang Xiu would never go.

"The lord wears iron armor inside and brocade robe outside, and let General Wang guard him on his left and right, and when the time comes, as long as this is so, he can ensure safety."

That night, Zhang Xiu took Wang Yanzhang and several personal guards to Liu Qi's mansion. Wang Yanzhang and several guards were each armed and were stopped by Gan Ning.

"The banquet is a place where all the civil and military people in Jiangling drink and feast, how can you bring the swords and soldiers into it, and ask a few people to temporarily untie the weapons, and let me keep them for the time being."

After hearing this, Wang Yanzhang sneered and said, "How dare a swordless soldier be a general? General Gan thought that the sword soldiers were unknown, but Wang thought that the sword soldiers were the auspicious things to protect, and asked General Gan for forgiveness. ”

Liu Qi saw that they were about to quarrel, so he hurriedly walked over and persuaded: "Since General Wang said so, then let General Wang go in with weapons!" ”

Liu Qi led Zhang Xiu and Wang Yanzhang in, and after everyone sat down separately, they began to drink freely.

After Kuai Liang toasted Zhang Xiu, he got up and asked, "I don't know why Mr. Wenhe didn't come tonight?" ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "Wen He is sick and can't come, and I ask the eldest prince to forgive me!" ”

Kuai Liang's brows furrowed, and then he made a color at Gan Ning. At this time, Gan Ning stood up and said to Liu Qi: "Eldest prince, it's not much fun to drink and feast like this, I'd rather dance the sword to help the wine!" ”

Before Liu Qi could reply, he saw Gan Ning pull out a saber from behind him, jump into the crowd, and start dancing on his own.

With the undulating cheers around him, Gan Ning's sword dance became faster and faster, and he continued to approach Zhang Xiu, at this time, Wang Yanzhang on the side pulled out the saber on his waist, jumped out of it, and shouted: "General Gan is quite boring to dance the sword alone, and Wang is willing to dance together to cheer up the princes." ”

Wang Yanzhang and Gan Ning danced together, and the two naturally fought fiercely, but where could Gan Ning be able to defeat Wang Yanzhang, he was at a disadvantage everywhere at this time. At this moment, Zhang Xiu got up, held a wine glass and said loudly to Liu Qi: "Could it be that the eldest prince's banquet today is a Hongmen banquet?" ”

Liu Qi listened to his words, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Where did General Zhang speak!" General Gan, General Wang, you all help! ”

After speaking, I saw him pick up two glasses of wine and walked towards the two of them, "The two generals are extraordinary in martial arts, and it is really Liu Qi's luck to be able to guard Jiangling together, come, please drink this cup together!" ”

As he spoke, he handed the two glasses of wine in his hand to Gan Ning and Wang Yanzhang, Gan Ning and Wang Yanzhang put their swords into the sheath together, and took Liu Qi's wine with both hands. (To be continued.) )
