Chapter 51: Liu Qi's suspicion

originally thought that there was nothing abnormal about Liu Qi's behavior, but when the two investigated the origin of the foxtail grass, they discovered the problem. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Foxtail grass can only be found in the bitter cold land of the northwest, but this batch of foxtail grass is not purchased in the northwest, but from Yingchuan.

The land of Yingchuan is not only economically developed, but also has a well-known background, that is, the family location of many of Cao Cao's advisers, and the so-called Yingchuan faction under Cao Cao refers specifically to those born here.

Although there is no conclusive evidence, it can still be seen that this incident is somewhat related to the Yingchuan faction and even Cao Cao's army.

And the raw materials of that batch of arrows, there are some obvious traces, because it is military materials, so the management of such goods in various places is relatively strict, that batch of raw materials when entering Xiangyang City, there were some procedural problems, so that they have been stranded outside the city and are not allowed to enter, until Liu Qi came forward, the situation has improved.

However, in the few days when he went through the procedures for entering the city, Liu Qi first stored this batch of raw materials in the warehouse of his pro-military camp, and only after the formalities were completed did he send this batch of raw materials to Liu Bei's military camp.

In the past few days, it is enough to do tricks on the raw materials, so Liu Qi is very suspicious of this matter.

After hearing this, Liu He frowned.

"I originally thought that this Liu Qi would leave some evidence, but I didn't expect this eldest prince to do things so neatly, and even the two of you couldn't get substantive evidence."

Tai Meng and Qian Chuan glanced at each other, hugged their fists and said, "It's all because we are incompetent and disappointed the leader." ”

Liu He shook his head with a smile, and said helplessly: "I can't blame you for this, after all, this is in Xiangyang City, how to say it, it is also his own territory, it is not difficult to do it without leaving evidence, it is not easy for you to find so many useful things under his nose." ”

Wei Xiao got up and said, "Although we have no evidence, we can see from the intelligence of Tai Meng and Qian Zhuan that this Liu Qi is indeed problematic. But in my opinion, for now, let's not act rashly, lest we startle the snake. ”

Liu He nodded: "That's natural, we are facing the worst situation now, that is, we know that he has a problem, but there is no way to deal with him, the more this time, the more we can't show our flaws, otherwise it will only give him a chance." ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this, especially Tai Meng and Qian Zhuan, whose faces were obviously a little unwilling, and it seemed that they were annoyed that they had not found evidence of Liu Qi's crime.

Liu He immediately smiled: "But there are always two sides to everything, at least we now know who the enemy is, and we can also take precautions in advance, which is the importance of the information that Tai Meng and Qian Zhuan brought back." Liu Qi may not know that we have been wary of him now, but from his point of view, he is in the light and we are in the dark, which is not a good thing for us. ”

Wei Xiao nodded and said: "In this situation, even if we have the evidence of Liu Qi's guilt in our hands, we dare not guarantee that we will be able to take it down in one fell swoop." On the contrary, we are on the territory of Jingzhou, no matter how we say that he is also Liu Biao's eldest son, if he is angered, not only our Tianji Battalion, but even the entire military camp will probably be implicated. So no matter what, the best option for now is to continue to wait and see, and it is better to let him show his feet, and save us from doing it again. ”

Although Wei Xiao's words were very reasonable, everyone present knew in their hearts that according to the current situation, the chance of wanting Liu Qi to take the initiative to make a mistake was really slim.

Wei Xiao pondered for a moment and continued: "Actually, there is one more thing I have always cared about, we made such a big disturbance last night, but why until now, the army seems to know nothing about it, could it be that Liu Qi sent someone to move his hands and feet in advance last night and transferred away the soldiers who were patrolling outside the Tianji Camp at night?" ”

Liu He shook his head: "That's not it, I know very well that the deployment in the army has always been in charge of Zhuge Liang, and with his intelligence, he will not be at the mercy of Liu Qi." I don't think Liu Qi would be stupid enough to make trouble by himself, if he dared to intervene in the defense, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang would have found out long ago. ”

In fact, Liu He has also thought about this question, but his perspective is different from that of Wei Xiao. Knowing that Zhuge Liang was in charge of the deployment of the army, he naturally would not guess what Liu Qi had done.

What he cares about is that Zhuge Liang's defense plan will definitely give Liu Bei a look, and Liu Bei can promise not to arrange a sentry post outside the Tianji Camp, which proves that Liu Bei is still unwary of himself at least on the surface, so he did not send someone to spy on him.

Now Liu He, what he is most afraid of is not external enemies but internal troubles, no matter how strong the enemy is, he is not afraid of his ability to know the future trend well, and what he is most worried about is that Liu Bei has a grudge against himself, so that he is afraid to do things.

However, judging from Liu Bei's attitude towards him after he came to the army, at least now Liu He doesn't have to worry about this problem.

"In this way, it is natural that Mr. Wolong knows that his teacher doesn't want to be disturbed, so he has withdrawn the defense outside the Tianji Camp."

When Liu He heard Wei Xiao say this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, Zhuge Liang was naturally kind to withdraw the defense, but would it cause Liu Bei's suspicion?

But fortunately, Liu He didn't want to do anything unfavorable to Liu Bei, so this thought was fleeting.

Loyalty is such a thing, only time will tell, a person who has just entered the barracks, no matter what he does, will not be completely reassured, rather than this, it is better to go with the flow, but to appear that he has a clear conscience.

At this moment, someone outside the door came to invite Liu He to the banquet with Liu Bei's invitation.

Wei Xiao took the invitation, watched the man leave, and then turned around and handed the invitation to Liu He.

"I guessed wrong this time, and it looks like they already know."

Liu He took the invitation and looked at it, there was nothing special on it, just an ordinary invitation.

"Probably not, if they knew, they would definitely come to visit in person, so why would they invite me to the banquet?"

Wei Xiao smiled and nodded.

Liu He casually put the invitation in his arms and walked towards the door.

"What the hell is going on, just go and see it, why bother to guess here."

Liu He went to the banquet this time, although he was not asked by Liu Bei about the assassination last night, but he brought back even more shocking news.

Three days later, in Xiangyang City, the eldest son Liu Qi will marry Zhang Xiaofei.

"What? Three days later? Why so fast? ”

After learning the news, even Qian Zhuan, who has always been old and serious, couldn't help but be amazed.
