Liu He listened quietly to Liu Qi's almost cathartic words, with a calm face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's not a question of whether you dare to kill me, it's a question of whether you can kill me."

Liu Qi stopped laughing wildly and said coldly: "Now that it's happened, I don't believe that you still have a chance to turn the tables." ”

"That's not necessarily," Liu He smiled playfully, "Why don't you count to three more?" ”

"Do you think I can do the same trick twice? I'll only count three this time, so let's take one last look at the river in front of you, because after three sounds, your blood will be splashed on the river. One ......"

"Wait!"

"How?" Liu Qi's face was full of the arrogance of the winner, "Finally know that you are afraid?" Is it a little too late to beg for mercy? ”

But Liu He had no intention of begging for mercy, but after a moment of silence, he asked a question that Liu Qi did not expect.

"You tell me the truth, from beginning to end, have you ever liked Zhang Xiaofei?"

The boat traveled on the river, I don't know if it was because of the high tide, the river became turbulent at some point, forming bursts of waves, lapping the river bank.

The noise of splashing intensified, but the silence of the two was even more obvious.

After another big wave, Liu Qi finally opened his mouth slowly.

"If I am not the eldest son of the state herd's family, if my father is not the lord of Jingzhou, if my biological mother is still alive, if my own brother is not my enemy at the instigation of my stepmother, maybe ......"

Liu Qi's voice trembled, his eyes were empty, and his words didn't seem to be answering Liu He's question, but more like talking to himself. The long sword that was lying across Liu He's neck was also unconsciously put down, and even Liu He turned around to look at it, but he didn't seem to notice it.

He raised his head and looked at the Xiangyang City that was getting closer and closer, and was suddenly startled, and then a weird smile appeared on his face, which was actually a little crazy.

"What's the use of talking about it now? If you want to delay time with this, I advise you not to be delusional, now that you are outside Xiangyang City, I will kill you, I will see who can save you. ”

After saying that, Liu Qi raised the long sword in his hand again and stabbed at Liu He mercilessly.

Since Liu Qi said what he said just now, Liu He has been frowning from beginning to end, seeing Liu Qi stabbing with a sword, but he didn't see Liu He have any trace of panic, just shook his head helplessly, and there seemed to be a little regret in his expression.

Although Liu Qi was secretly a little alert when he saw Liu He's abnormal reaction, he didn't have the slightest idea of stopping, after all, it was already at this time, and since this sword was stabbed out, there was no reason to take it back.

It's a pity that his sword still couldn't stab out after all, just when the tip of the sword was about to stab Liu He's chest, Liu Qi only felt that someone slapped him heavily on the shoulder of the sword holding his hand, and half of his body suddenly felt a little numb. When this numbness disappeared, a sharp pain ensued him, causing him to lose his strength in an instant, and he could no longer hold the long sword in his hand.

The precious ancient sword fell into the river after he got rid of it, and after a wave passed, there was no trace of it.

Liu Qi's eyes instantly turned red under the severe pain, and he turned his head sharply to see who saved Liu He's life at this critical juncture.

But when he turned around, he saw no one else, only the old boatman standing motionless at the stern.

"Didn't you say the same trick wouldn't fool you twice?"

Hearing Liu He's words, Liu Qi seemed to realize something, and he kept looking the expressionless old boatman up and down.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the long oar in the old boatman's hand.

After a while, he finally came to his senses, and what was slapping heavily on his shoulder was the long paddle in front of him, and Liu He's voice sounded in his ears again.

"Since you know that this old boatman was specially arranged by me, don't you think that this old boatman may be a person with martial arts?"

"No, no, this is impossible," Liu Qi kept muttering as if he was crazy, "I have sent people to check inside and outside this Xiangyang City, and I have never heard of such a master in this boat family." ”

"Actually, there is no need to investigate this matter at all, and you don't want to think about it, can an ordinary boatman be so calm when he sees the scene of the two armies fighting each other just now? But I don't think you should dwell on this, let's think about your own situation first. ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he gradually quieted down, and his eyes became dim.

"Success and defeat, this is the same truth since ancient times, since it has fallen into your hands, I have nothing to say, if you want to kill or chop it, it's up to you."

Liu He said calmly: "I don't want to kill you, you still continue to be your eldest prince of Jingzhou, and I will continue to be my Mr. Tianji." But in exchange, you have to take care of my wedding by yourself, and I don't care what method I use, anyway, I don't want your father to trouble me again. Of course, Liu Bei can't be blamed. ”

Liu Qi was shocked when he heard this: "You mean that you won't tell me about it?" ”

Liu He nodded: "This Jingzhou matter is your family's family affair, and it has nothing to do with me, as long as you don't fight Liu Bei's idea anymore, why should I meddle with it?" ”

Liu Qi smiled bitterly and didn't make a sound.

If Liu Bei didn't use it as a bargaining chip in exchange for Cao Cao's protection, let alone being the lord of Jingzhou, I'm afraid it would be a problem to even save his life.

"Okay, now that we're done with business, let's talk about some personal matters. I won't care about you if you want to kill me, after all, you didn't hurt me. However, there is a person who was hurt by you a lot, how are you going to explain this to others? ”

Liu Qi nodded when he heard this: "I really want to give Zhang Xiaofei an explanation, and I will explain it to her face to face tomorrow." ”

"Clearly?" Liu He frowned, "What are you going to tell her?" ”

Liu Qi was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not that I don't like her, it's just that I have my own troubles, if I ......"

Liu He didn't say a word, and kicked Liu Qi into the water with a flying kick.

"If, if, how can there be so many ifs? If you have her in your heart, no matter what your situation is, you will put her first. Yes, you are the eldest son of Jingzhou, your father is the lord of Jingzhou, your mother died early, and your stepmother taught your brother to work against you, but they stopped you from marrying a daughter-in-law? In the end, you only think about yourself, you only feel that you are wronged, have you thought about others? On the question of liking or not, double negation is not affirmative at all, I don't like her or Lao Tzu or I like her, it's not the same thing at all. ”

Liu He's eyes were hot, and his emotions were even more excited, but at this moment, the old boatman beside him suddenly jumped into the river and swam towards Liu Qi.
