Seeing that Zhang Xiaofei was a lot more relaxed after venting his emotions, Liu He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the next thing he should do was to explain everything to Liu Bei in detail. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He first pulled Liu Qi, who had suffered a lot in the river, into the boat, and then returned to the shore and asked Liu Qi to disband the elite cavalry under his command on the spot.

On the other hand, he asked Guan Yu to quickly lead the army back to Xiangyang City, and as soon as he came outside the city and came within the sight of the defenders, he immediately moved slowly and quietly, so as not to be suspected by Liu Biao.

After the armies on both sides dispersed, Liu He took Liu Qi to the big ship and joined Liu Bei.

Liu Qi, who was desperate, no longer struggled, and told Liu Bei the whole thing in 1510.

From beginning to end, Liu Bei, who was frowning, didn't say a word, but whispered "I know" after Liu Qi said everything, and didn't say a word to complain about Liu Qi.

Then Liu Bei turned his head and glanced at Zhang Xiaofei, who had an indifferent expression beside him, and wanted to say something, but he wanted to stop talking.

At this moment, Liu Qi fell to his knees with a "plop".

"Please Uncle Huang save me!"

has seen too many deceitful officialdom battles, Liu Bei is naturally very clear about Liu Qi's situation at this time.

Without his own thorn in the side as a quid pro quo, it would be impossible for Liu Qi to be protected by Cao Cao. In the boundary of Jingzhou, there is Mrs. Cai inside, and Cai Mao, a relative outside, who will take Liu Qi's life at any time.

Liu Bei did not answer Liu Qi directly, but turned his head to look at Liu He.

Liu He raised his head and looked at the blue sky, and suddenly felt that the eldest prince of Jingzhou kneeling in front of him was really a little pitiful.

In fact, in Liu He's heart, if Zhang Xiaofei is not mentioned, in fact, what Liu Qi has done is not excessive, at least he is much softer than many people who will do anything for power.

But it is precisely because of his soft-heartedness that he is doomed to the miserable situation that not only can he not get the position of the lord of Jingzhou, but he can't even protect himself.

If it weren't for the fact that he had encountered such a series of bad things for Liu Qi, maybe Liu Qi's character would not have been killed, just from his original intention to contain Liu Bei with a marriage contract, it can be seen that Liu Qi has not yet reached the point of hopelessness.

It's a pity that Liu Qi may never have imagined that even if he successfully marries Zhang Xiaofei, he may not be able to successfully force the Uncle Liu in front of him to comply.

Taking a step back, even if Uncle Liu Huang was willing to be captured for the sake of brotherhood, Cao Cao would never hand over Jingzhou, which played such an important military role, to Liu Qi in charge.

Once Cao Cao gets Jingzhou, not only will he not fulfill his promise, but he may also kill Liu Qi to kill him, which can already be seen from Liu Cong's fate in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

And the most ironic thing is that the initiator of this doomed ending is his Liu family's clan identity.

Cao Cao can tolerate a Jiangdong Sun clan growing stronger day by day, and can even form a situation with himself one day to divide the river and rule, but he can't tolerate a Liu Bei who weaves mats and sells shoes, but it is because Liu Bei got the identity of an imperial uncle from the Han Emperor.

Even if the identity of your clan is fake, it will make Cao Cao sleep day and night, after all, as long as there is a clan power on the map of the world for a day, the Liu family court he manipulates in Xuchang City will always be full of dark tides, not to mention that your Liu Qi's clan identity is still fake, and the world knows it.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded on the shore again, and Liu He looked around, it was Guan Yu, who had turned back and returned, and arrived with Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang after learning the news.

The three of them immediately looked at the big boat by the river, and when they vaguely saw Liu Qi kneeling in front of Liu Bei, except for Zhuge Liang, Guan Zhang and the two of them showed surprised looks.

Liu He sighed and stretched out his hand to point at Zhuge Liang on the shore.

"Go find Mr. Wolong, he can save your life."

Liu Qi hurriedly thanked him and kept kowtowing. Seeing this wagging tail begging that could already be said to have lost his dignity, Liu He ignored it, and didn't even want to take another look.

He turned his head and whispered to Zhang Xiaofei: "Finally, I will trouble you, give him another ride." ”

Zhang Xiaofei, who was expressionless, was silent for a long time, turned around and jumped into the boat, holding the long oar tightly in his hand.

Liu Qi, who had always been lying on the ground and didn't dare to look up to see Zhang Xiaofei, finally looked up cautiously after hearing the sound of the waves stirred up by the slight shaking of the boat.

That delicate face was no longer full of admiration for himself as in the past, and at that moment Liu Qi suddenly had a feeling that he had lost more than just a Jingzhou.

He slowly stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Bei and Liu He, but he couldn't say a word anymore.

Stepping on the boat again, the two looked at each other, Zhang Xiaofei suddenly whispered "Stand firm", and then used the oar to touch the hull of the big boat, and the boat moved with it.

The wind and waves on the river rose again, but the boat was unusually stable.

Liu Qi didn't dare to look at Zhang Xiaofei again, but kept thinking about what Zhang Xiaofei looked like when she said those three words just now.

It was not as cold as he imagined, but it was stranger than he imagined.

It seems to be just a routine reminder from a boatman on the river to every strange passer-by, without any emotion, just like this small boat, without the slightest sway, and without stirring up a ripple.

Liu Bei didn't look at the two people not far away, he walked to the side of the boat and stretched out his hand, summoned the rest of the boatmen, and then turned his head to look at Liu He.

"Sir, the military advisor and my second and third brothers are waiting on the shore, why don't we go back together."

Liu He, who was thoughtful, looked at the backs of the two people on the river and did not make a sound.

Liu Bei followed Liu He's line of sight, seemed to understand what Liu He meant, and nodded lightly.

This should be the only and last chance for Liu Qi to be alone with Zhang Xiaofei in his life, and it is up to him whether he can pay off that debt.

Until the boat reached the shore, Zhang Xiaofei took the lead in jumping onto the riverbank, and neither of them said a word again.

Liu He frowned slightly and sighed lightly.

Some debts are not something you can repay if you want to, if the creditor doesn't want it, you have to carry it for the rest of your life, and it is getting heavier and heavier, as for the interest, it is your only remaining conscience that has not been eaten by dogs.

Of course, Liu He knew what Zhuge Liang would say to Liu Qi, but it was just an allusion to the fact that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin Kingdom was born inside and was in danger, and the heavy ears were born outside.

When Liu Bei led his entourage and Liu He to return to the riverside together, Liu Qi had already said goodbye and left.

As soon as Liu Bei told the ins and outs, Zhang Fei, who learned the truth of the matter, strode up to Liu He and knelt down on one knee with a fist.

"Mr. Tianji, I was reckless, not only hurt the brothers of the Tianji Battalion, but also almost took your life, I Zhang Fei is here to accompany you, and when I go back, I will visit those brothers who were injured by me, and ask for their forgiveness."
