Ma Hong and Liu Qi ran towards the wooden bridge after Yang Yi, and the guards who heard the explosion also ran towards the wooden bridge.

Yang Yi ran to the scene of the explosion, looked at the burning wooden bridge, in front of him was a bloody leg that had been blown up, and it could be judged from the thickness of the leg that it was the leg of a teenager, Yang Yi knelt on the ground and cried, crying and crying and vomiting. Ma Hong smelled the smell of burnt corpses, a wave of heat slowly rose from his chest, and a sneer slowly drew into the corners of his mouth.

Suddenly, a teenage child ran towards Yang Yi with a rock sugar gourd in his hand, calling his brother while running, Yang Yi saw that his brother was not dead, stood up and hugged the child, tears rained down.

There was a girl by the river who had been blown up and struggled to crawl towards the riverbank, screaming and struggling to crawl towards the riverbank, and he passed out as soon as he reached the riverbank. Ma Hong looked at the girl's leg, her right leg was broken. Ma Hong looked at the girl's injury, even if she crawled out of hell, she wouldn't live long, and the girl with a broken leg should be Cai Mao's daughter. Ma Hong got the news that Cai Mao intended to marry his daughter to Liu Cong as his wife.

After questioning, the patrolmen knew that this was Cai Mao's convoy, so they quickly began to search and rescue, but except for the dying girl, there was no one left. After a stick of incense, there was a burst of smoke and dust on the south side of the bridge, and three fast horses rushed towards the broken bridge, Ma Hong looked at the fast horse, his heart trembled, and a coolness came from his stomach. Ma Hong didn't believe his eyes, and blinked to look at the man on the horse, but his face didn't change.

"Uncle, why is he here?"

Liu Qi, who was standing next to Ma Hong, looked at the man on the other side of the riverbank, he didn't know Ma Hong's actions, so he didn't know that Cai Mao came to Xiangyang City today, let alone that the two carriages that were blown up just now were Cai Mao's family.

Ma Hong slowly stepped back and walked away from Liu Qi's side without Liu Qi's knowledge, he didn't want Cai Mao to see him. Ma San looked at Ma Hong's actions and knew what Ma Hong meant, so he stood in front of Ma Hong and blocked Ma Hong with his tall body.

Cai Mao stood across the river with an earthy face, his eyes wide, looking at the crowd, and his eyes quickly locked on the gorgeously dressed Liu Qi in the crowd. Cai Mao stood on the other side of the river and looked at Liu Qi, Liu Qi looked at Cai Mao with a surprised face, nodded at Cai Mao, and waved his hand again.

Cai Mao looked at Liu Qi motionlessly, and then Cai Mao covered his mouth and coughed, but he couldn't cough out the breath in his heart. The death of the two sons was already unacceptable to Cai Mao, and she saw Liu Qi's face again, which made Cai Mao's grief and indignation rise to the extreme.

Cai Mao originally brought her two sons from Jiangling to meet her brother-in-law Liu Biao, and more importantly, she brought her daughter to Liu Biao to see if Liu Biao was satisfied with her future daughter-in-law. When he was about to arrive in Xiangyang, he was invited to the military camp by Zhang Yun, because it was inconvenient to take the children into the military camp, so he asked the domestic servants to take the children to Xiangyang City first, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Since gunpowder had not yet appeared in this era, the people said that the thunder and fire from the sky just hit the wooden bridge, and there were rumors that Cai Mao had done many evil things, so his family would be punished by heaven......

For a while, all kinds of rumors spread in Xiangyang City, and the news spread for three days in a row, Cai Mao's reputation became more and more stinky, of course, this had to rely on Ma Hong to secretly fuel the fire, and the people of this era were easily deceived, because this was an era of faith, and the people believed in God. Ma Hong guessed that Cai Mao had become suspicious of Liu Qi, and Liu Qi had not shown up since he followed Cai Mao back to Liu Biao's mansion.

Now that Cai Mao has begun to suspect Liu Qi, the second step is about to start, and if the first step to kill Cai Mao is successful, then this second move does not need to be made, because even if it does, it will be a snake to add to it. In the eyes of outsiders, Cai Mao's family was killed by thunder, but Cai Mao escaped the catastrophe, which is providence. Now that Ma Hong has spread this providence, then use this providence to give Cai Mao another blow now! This blow will not necessarily sink Cai Mao's big ship, and Liu Biao's lake will be turbulent.

Xiangyang in November is not so cold, but secretly it is already surging. Three days after the Xiangyang lightning strike on the wooden bridge incident, a new incident broke out, and this incident directly pushed Cai Mao to the blade. When the Xiangyang engineer was building a post station twenty miles north of Xiangyang City, he dug out a bronze bell.

Now the bronze bell is in Liu Biao's room, and there is no one in Liu Biao's room except Liu Biao, Liu Biao is sitting in front of the bronze bell, looking at the bronze bell carefully. The bell itself is reddish-brown, but there are many black dots on the bell, and these dots are words, and the combination of words is a poem. If you put it in modern times thousands of years later, all highly educated science students know that the black thing on the copper bell is copper oxide, but thousands of years ago, it is little known. Even a blacksmith who forged weapons had seen such a black object and did not know what it was.

In the twelfth spring of Jian'an, the new willow replaced the old willow.

The wind cuts the spring, and the willow leaves fall in a hurry.

Since then, the sky has changed, and spring has turned into autumn.

The willows in Xiangyang are dark, and the vegetables in Jiangling are green.

This is a hidden poem, and anyone who is a little smarter can read the meaning of the poem. Liu Biao is of course a smart person, he was a little surprised when he saw this bronze bell, first of all, the words on this bronze bell are not artificial, and this bronze bell also seems to have been buried in the ground for some years; Secondly, this Tibetan poem bluntly says that he will die in the twelfth year of Jian'an, which is an interesting thing; Then the poem also explained that after his death, the second son Liu Cong took his place, because the second game of the poem mentions Luo Hurry, Hurry Tongcong; Finally, it was pointed out that after Liu Cong took over, Jingzhou would undergo great changes, and from then on, the Cai family would replace the Liu family to control Jingzhou.

Liu Biao stroked his beard, his eyes turned slightly, thinking, the poem was not very well written, but it was very clear, and the sharp blade of the poem was clearly stabbed at Cai Mao. Who is Cai Mao, Liu Biao also knows that he has always wanted to make Liu Cong the son, so he stands on the opposite side of the eldest son Liu Qi. What kind of personality Liu Qi is, Liu Biao knows very well, although his eldest son is kind, he has a cowardly personality and is good at drinking, and he doesn't like it very much. Liu Qi's character is cowardly, and in Liu Biao's opinion, he must not dare to do anything to kill Cai Mao in broad daylight and bury the bronze bell with the intention of framing Cai Mao. But it happened, and it was done so neatly that it left no trace. This made Liu Biao not only a little puzzled, whether all these things against Cai Mao were God's will or Liu Qi's doing, if Liu Qi did it, then his eldest son, who usually looked cowardly, was really not simple. In contrast, Liu Biao hopes that this is not providence, but Liu Qi's doing, because such Liu Qi is like him Liu Biao, so he can replace Liu Biao to replace Jingzhou. As the master, he must not only be stable, but also ruthless, Liu Qi is only twenty years old this year, if the twenty-year-old Liu Qi has such a city government and means, then Liu Biao can rest assured that everything will be handed over to Liu Qi. However, Liu Biao was still hesitating.

Because after Cai Mao's family was killed, when Liu Biao asked Liu Qi if he did it, Liu Qi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and cried, his behavior and expression really didn't look like pretending, as if he was frightened. At that moment, Liu Biao smiled bitterly in his heart, if he pretended, then Liu Qi would definitely surpass himself in the future, if he didn't pretend, then Liu Qi would definitely not be able to keep this Jingzhou.

Liu Biao was never confused when he was young, but now he is always hesitant, perhaps because he is old, and some things are no longer accurate.
