Summary of the previous chapter: Cao Cao hurriedly made two seal ribbons, one for Cai Mao and one for Zhang Yun. Back in Xiangyang, Ma Xiaoquan gave the seal ribbon to Cai Mao to become the commander of the Cao Ying Water Army, Cai Mao was overjoyed, and the others were also very envious, in this regard, Ma Xiaoquan struck while the iron was hot and asked them to do their best to persuade Liu Cong, while on the other hand, Ma Xiaoquan and Ling'er were ready to sneak into Liu Cong's mansion to have a look

It is not the first time that Ma Xiaoquan has done the work of +++++++++++++++++++++ hidden investigation, this time Liu Cong's trip to the mansion, Ma Xiaoquan completely regarded it as a routine, and Ling'er was different.

First, Ling'er went to investigate for the first time, and second, it was also because he was with Xianggong.

Women are very strange creatures, if they decide something, no matter how difficult it is, they will go to great lengths to achieve their goals, and if they have the man they love by their side, then they are even more determined.

Along the way, Ling'er kept asking Ma Xiaoquan some strange questions, Ling'er's voice was very small, but Ma Xiaoquan couldn't stand up to the many questions.

"Xianggong, you say, what if we go to peek at Liu Cong, and Liu Cong is pooping?"

Ma Xiaoquan's chest was stuffy, and he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.

The good latent probe came out of Ling'er's mouth and turned into a "peeping", Ma Xiaoquan felt very awkward, as if there was something wrong with his sexual orientation.

Coupled with the new word that Ma Xiaoquan taught to Ling'er a few days ago - poop, Ma Xiaoquan was even more panicked as if he had really eaten poop.

Ling'er asked again: "Xianggong, even if Liu Cong is inconvenient, oh no, it's the poop is over, then will his stomach be hungry?"

Ma Xiaoquan's eyes rolled white, staggered, and almost fell.

Ling'er's eyes were quick, she hugged Xianggong, and asked with concern: "Xianggong, what's wrong with you, are you too tired to rest?" ”

By the moonlight, Ma Xiaoquan saw Ling'er's charming big eyes flickering, and said with a wry smile in his heart: My Ling'er wife, can you say a few words, what is it to eat after pooping, you should be that Liu Cong is rectum.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and stood firm, and said softly: "I'm fine, but I didn't pay attention just now, Ling'er, you can't talk anymore, we are about to sneak into Liu Cong's mansion, if you speak, it will not be good if you are exposed." ”

Ling'er nodded and hummed softly obediently.

Ma Xiaoquan exhaled a long breath, and finally calmed down for a while, if Ling'er didn't stop 100,000 whys, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't guarantee that he would go crazy.

Both of them have good skills, especially Ling'er, in Ma Xiaoquan's impression, Ling'er's skills are already very good, but they are definitely not as good as Mrs. Hua Yuexin.

But now it seems that Ling'er's kung fu has not fallen, not only has it not regressed, but it has become more agile.

Seeing Ling'er's small body plunging into the darkness, Ma Xiaoquan pursed his lips, gave a proud thumbs up, and then followed Ling'er into the darkness.

In the bedroom of Liu Cong's mansion, there are three people standing at the moment: Kuai Yue, Fu Xun, and Wang Cang.

When they met the lord at night, the three of them naturally apologized and boasted.

Although Liu Cong had complaints, these three people were all members of the Jingzhou clan, and no matter what, they couldn't just turn their faces with them.

Looking at the three people standing in a row, Liu Cong thought to himself: Hmph, waiting for me to take back the military power, I must humiliate you well.

"You three are so late, what are you looking for me?"

Wang Cang stepped forward and said, "Lord, I took the liberty to come to disturb you, or for the sake of subjugating Cao. ”

Liu Cong was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Cang and Kuai Yue Fu Xun glanced at each other, then stepped forward and said, "Lord, we all agree that the surrender of Cao is what everyone wants!" ”

When Liu Cong heard this, he refused: "With your assistance, inherit the foundation laid by my father, and besides, although Jingzhou is not a place where soldiers must fight, but risks and opportunities coexist, if our lords and ministers cooperate properly, take Jingzhou as the foundation, and plot the world, what can't we?" ”

Wang Cang was stunned for a moment and retreated.

Fu Xun took a step forward and said: "Lord, there is a general situation of rebellion, and there is a fixed situation of strength and weakness, after all, we only have the land of Jingzhou, to be honest, we are still the courtiers of the Han Dynasty, if we rashly send troops to crusade against the surrounding areas, it is against the imperial court, and it is the way of rebellion; Moreover, if you only use Jingzhou to fight against the Central Plains, it must be an extremely dangerous thing, you must know that in the past, the disparity between the forces of Yuan Benchu and the prime minister was huge, and it was still a decline. ”

Liu Cong shook his head and interrupted: "Before my father died, he left Liu Bei and used him to resist Cao Cao, Liu Bei is a hero in the world, presumably he will have the confidence to help me." ”

Kuai Yue stepped forward: "Lord, Jingzhou is the foundation laid by the lord's father, and the lord also said that Liu Bei is a hero in the world, in this case, how can a hero live under the people for a long time?" Isn't the lord afraid that Liu Bei has the heart to plot against me in Jingzhou? ”

Liu Cong snorted, exhaled a long breath, and suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go to the toilet first!" ”

The three of them looked at each other and nodded helplessly in agreement

On the roof, Ma Xiaoquan and Ling'er were lying quietly, and when they heard Liu Cong's words, Ling'er said carefully: "Xianggong, hehe, I'm right, then Liu Cong really went to poop." ”

Ma Xiaoquan: ""

After going to the toilet, Liu Cong returned to the bedroom, and when he saw the three of them staring at him tightly, he waved his hand angrily and said, "You all sit down and talk!" ”

The three of them nodded, and each found a stool to sit down.

Liu Cong asked Kuai Yue: "Different degrees, do you say that Liu Bei has the heart of Jingzhou?" ”

Kuai Yue nodded: "Liu Bei's martial arts are related to Zhang Zhao and other tiger generals, all of whom are enemies of ten thousand people, and there are Zhuge Kongming in the text, this person is called Wolong, and the strategy and politics are all superior, Liu Bei has this person, and he must have the ability to ascend to the sky." ”

Liu Cong was shocked in his heart, and asked again: "Wolong Zhuge Kongming?" Are you talking about Nanyang Zhuge Liang? ”

Kuai Yue nodded.

Liu Cong chuckled in his heart and said, "In this way, Liu Bei can't stay." ”

Seeing that Liu Cong's heart was relaxed, Fu Xun stepped forward and hit the railway while it was hot: "Lord, if you compare you with Liu Bei, how much do you think you can compare to him?" ”

Liu Cong snorted, although he was unwilling in his heart, he still said truthfully: "Liu Bei is much more than me in terms of experience and experience, I am not as good as him~"

Fu Xun said: "In this case, if Liu Bei can't resist Cao Cao, then Jingzhou can't talk about self-protection, on the contrary, if Liu Bei can resist Cao Cao alone, by that time, Jingzhou must have changed hands." ”

Liu Cong exhaled a long breath and stood up: "I'm a little hungry."

On the roof, Ling'er chuckled again: "Xianggong, Liu Cong really wants to eat in the future, hehe, I'm right."

By the moonlight, Ma Xiaoquan looked at Ling'er's smug expression, and said in his heart: What a mess of things

After eating a few pieces of pastry, Liu Cong closed his eyes and thought for a while, Kuai Yue Fu Xun and Wang Cang looked at Liu Cong's struggling appearance, and they couldn't bear it in their hearts, but when they thought that Jian Cao could protect their family, the three of them closed their eyes in their hearts.

"Okay~~" Liu Cong opened his eyes and slowly stood up, "I'll think about it again"

Liu Cong's tone of voice was very low, and it could be seen that his mind had been shaken.

Wang Cang glanced at Kuai Yue, meaning that Brother Xenodu, you can add some fierce medicine to the lord.

Kuai Yue understood, stood up and said, "Lord, there is another news, I don't know whether to say it or not!" ”

Liu Cong said: "Say it! ”

"Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have been appointed by the prime minister as the commander and deputy commander of my naval army in Jingzhou."

"Poof", as Kuai Yue's words fell, Liu Cong sat on the ground.

"The Lord"

"The Lord"

Kuai Yue and the three of them stepped forward to help Liu Cong.

Liu Cong sighed, very unwilling in his heart, but there was no way, even his relatives were betrayed, what else could he do as a puppet?

"I agreed~"

The three of them were stunned for a moment, then suppressed the excitement in their hearts, and said in unison: "Lord, what did you say?" ”

Liu Cong said with tears in his eyes: "I said, I agree to surrender Cao, you are satisfied!" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, knelt down in front of Liu Cong in unison, and said respectfully: "The lord is wise!" ”

Liu Cong smiled bitterly, raised his head, and forcibly held back the tears from flowing out of his eyes

On the roof, Ma Xiaoquan was also a little sad.

Ma Xiaoquan can understand this humiliating surrender, although Liu Cong is young, he is an adult after all, even if he does not do well, he doesn't want the foundation left by his father to be handed over like this, but now in the bureaucratic circle of Jingzhou, the Cao faction has occupied the mainstream, and the anti-Cao faction Huang Zu is dead, and no one supports him anymore

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, sat up slowly, and gently patted Ling'er's back: "Ling'er, let's go~"

Ling'er sat up with it, looked at Ma Xiaoquan with a stern face, and asked in a puzzled whisper: "Xianggong, isn't it just surrender, why is Liu Cong so uncomfortable?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and did not speak.

Power, money, and beauty, no matter what era, these three things are a man's lifelong yearning. Although Liu Cong is a puppet, it doesn't mean that he has no ambitions, but before he could reach his full wings, he was directly strangled in infancy, and no one can stand it.

Pulling Ling'er, the two of them easily climbed over the wall and disappeared into the night

In the afternoon of the next day, Kuai Yue, Fu Xun, Wang Cang, and Cai Mao rushed to the Ma family's mansion to visit Ma Xiaoquan with a bunch of gifts, and reported what they thought was a big piece of news - Liu Cong agreed to surrender.

Listening to the report of Kuai Yue and others, Ma Xiaoquan remained silent, and after asking someone to accept the gift, Ma Xiaoquan said slowly: "Since Liu Cong agreed, then leave the next matter to me, you can wait with peace of mind." ”

The four of them got up and said in unison: "Yes!" ”
