Xiangyang, Caifu, secret room.

The oil lamp flickered, and there were faint tears in Cai Mao's eyes, he didn't want to stay in the mansion, because now Cai's mansion was full of crying, and he wanted to cry too, but now he couldn't cry. Sometimes once the tears flow out, they can't be contained, Cai Mao is not afraid of the tears that can't be contained, but afraid of not being able to keep her heart. If a person can't even calm his mind, then even if he tries his best, he will do some useless things, and it is not terrible to do useless things, but it is terrible to do wrong things.

Cai Mao knew that Liu Biao was a lord who allowed his subordinates to do wrong things, but he also had to divide what was wrong, Cai Mao knew that he must not do wrong things at this critical juncture, and he must not mess up, because he is the head of the Cai family. Cai Mao called his clan brothers Cai Zhong and Cai He today, not to discuss with them what to do, but to tell them what he thought. Cai Mao knows the ability of his two brothers, Cai Zhong's name is Zhong, but his appearance is not good, his ability to do things is okay, Cai He is very similar to his name, he looks very kind, but it is just kind.

Cai He and Cai Zhong were called into the secret room by Cai Mao for a long time, but Cai Mao didn't speak, and the two of them were a little anxious. Cai He said softly: "Brother, we all know that my brother is uncomfortable, but this accident is God's will, and I ask my brother to mourn by the way." ”

Providence? Cai Mao heard his brother say this, sighed, shook his head and said, "Do you really think it's the will of heaven?" Isn't it artificial? ”

Cai Zhong was stunned for a moment and didn't speak, he didn't know why his brother would say such a thing, Cai He said: "Brother, I have personally investigated, it stands to reason that this incident should not be man-made, the bridge exploded suddenly, even if it was ignited with a large amount of oil, there would not be such a loud sound." What's more, there will definitely be a smell of fire oil after using fire oil, but there is no smell of fire oil. ”

Cai Mao looked at Cai Zhong and said secretly in his heart: Although Cai Zhong's ability is not strong, he is stronger than Cai He, and he still has a bit of brains.

Cai Zhong saw that Cai Mao just looked at him and didn't speak, he thought that he might have said something wrong, so he asked, "Brother, could it be that I said something wrong." ”

"You're right, it can't be kerosene, but even if it's not kerosene, it doesn't prove that it's not man-made."

Cai Mao picked up the oil pot and refilled some lamp oil into the oil lamp.

Cai Zhong asked puzzledly, "Brother, what do you mean by this?" ”

"What if the lord wants to kill me?" Cai Mao said.

Cai Zhong and Cai He heard Cai Mao say this, and thought they had heard it wrong, they glanced at each other, and after seeing from their expressions that they had not heard it wrong, they didn't know what to say. After a long time, Cai Zhong asked, "Does the lord want to do something to his brother?" How is this possible, the lord is our brother-in-law, if he wants to sit firmly in this Jingzhou, he needs the support of our Cai family, how can he destroy the Great Wall. ”

Cai Mao didn't directly explain why to Cai He, but said: "Next, I want to ask you a few questions, first, the news that I returned to Xiangyang from Jiangling City, can you two leak it to outsiders?" ”

Cai Zhong and Cai He shook their heads and said, "No." ”

Cai Mao nodded and continued: "As the Taishou of Jiangling, Xiangyang is also my home, and I naturally want to tell my family when I go back to Xiangyang, and I also have to report to the lord." So there are not many people who know the news of my return to Xiangyang, except for you, there is also the lord. And you only know that I will return to Xiangyang, but you do not know when I will return, but the lord knows exactly when I will return to Xiangyang, because I wrote in my letter to him when I will visit him. ”

Cai Zhong shook his head and interrupted Cai Mao's words, and said, "Brother, you shouldn't push like this, and you shouldn't doubt the lord. Thinking about things, we must first consider the motive, I think the lord has no motive, the lord has been in Jingzhou for less than six years, it can't be said that he has sat firmly in Jingzhou, if he does it to you at this time and loses the support of the Cai family, it will be more than worth the loss for him. ”

Cai Mao sighed and said to Cai He: "It's good to learn to think about things, but you also have to think with your brain, don't use your toes." I, Cai Mao, represent the Cai family, but am I the entire Cai family? If Liu Biao uses the providence of God in your mouth to kill me unconsciously, do you still think that God wants me to die? Isn't it? If I had died in that explosion, would you two have died? Not dead, is the Cai family here? It's still there, can Liu Biao use the Cai family? And still! Got it? ”

Cai Zhong was reprimanded by Cai Mao, and he didn't dare to talk back, after all, his brother's mood at the moment was extremely bad, and he was reprimanded by Cai Mao again, and he understood the meaning of what Cai Mao said, according to Cai Mao's meaning, Liu Biao wanted to kill Cai Mao, but he didn't want to eliminate the Cai family all at once, but to weaken the Cai family while continuing to use the Cai family after Cai Mao's death. But Cai Zhong still prefers to believe that the death of his nephews is just providence, and what Cai Mao said is too far-fetched.

When Cai Mao saw Cai Zhong's expression, he knew that Cai Zhong had not fully agreed with his point of view, so he continued: "Second, yesterday Shang Kuai Yue and Liu Qi were assassinated on the street, it is said that it was Sun Ce's person who assassinated them, Kuai Yue was injured, but Liu Qi was only slightly injured, I heard that those who were shouting to kill Liu Qi at the moment, but they all slashed at Kuai Yue with knives. ”

After Cai He listened to Cai Mao's words, the boss with his mouth open, couldn't help but say: "Could it be that they recognize Kuai Yue as Liu Qi, and their age gap is also a bit big!" The most important thing is that they don't look like each other! ”

Cai Zhong glanced at Cai He, and without waiting for Cai Mao to continue speaking, he scolded Cai Mao: "Fool, shut up and listen to my brother." ”

Cai He was scolded by Cai Zhong, and he was displeased, and he was going to return it, but when he saw Cai Mao's eyes, he closed his mouth.

Cai Mao asked Cai Zhong, "What do you think?" ”

Cai Zhong said: "What they want to kill is not Liu Qi, but Kuai Yue." And I don't think those assassins will be Sun Ce's people either. Brother, please forgive me for what I just said, I only arrived in Xiangyang today, and I don't know what happened last night, if I knew, I wouldn't question my brother. ”

Cai Mao nodded and asked, "So, do you think it could be Liu Biao's hand on me." ”

Cai Zhong analyzed: "Brother and Kuai Yue were assassinated one after another, this is absolutely impossible to be a coincidence, and now I think my brother is right." ”

Cai Mao sighed and continued to ask, "Do you really think so?" ”

Cai Zhong replied without hesitation: "I really think so." ”

Cai Mao sighed and said slowly: "I still overestimate you, you are just a little smarter." ”

Cai Zhong saw that his brother blamed himself, and asked in confusion, "Why did my brother say this?" ”

Cai Mao said: "Then let me ask you, if you are Liu Biao, you want to weaken the power of the Jingzhou Hao clan, if you want to kill me, after you miss, will you continue to act and attack Kuai Yue." ”

Cai Zhong thought for a while before he said with shame on his face: "I won't, brother means that the person who wants to do something to his brother is not the lord?" ”

Cai Mao nodded and said, "Definitely not." ”

At this time, Cai He, who had been silent, couldn't sit still, and interjected and asked, "Since my brother knows that it is not the lord who is attacking you, why did you say that the lord wanted to kill you in the first place?" ”

Cai Mao glared at Cai He, his eyes were very red, he hadn't slept for two days, for some reason, if he talked to his two clan brothers for more than ten sentences, a hot breath would rise in his stomach. Cai Mao bit her lip and sobered herself up a little before she said, "I just say this to test you and see if you have the ability to replace the Cai family on my behalf." Imagine what you would do if I died the day before yesterday, now I have seen clearly, you two are not capable of replacing the Cai family for me, and now I Cai Mao can't die. ”

After Cai Zhong and Cai He were reprimanded by Cai Mao again, they both lowered their heads in shame.

Cai Mao looked at the two unsuccessful clan brothers and said, "Maybe the lord wants to move me, but this time it is not the lord who moves me." I want you two to look into something, to find out who is trying to kill me? ”

Cai He was reprimanded by his brother in a row, and now he was in a hurry to leave, and when he heard Cai Mao say this, he said without the slightest hesitation: "Okay." ”

Cai Zhong hesitated for a moment before he asked cautiously, "Brother, how should we check?" ”

"Go and ask Liu Cong's son how to check? By the way, I will listen to the opinion of the second sister. ”

Cai Mao's voice was already tired, and he had closed his eyes when he said this.
