Chapter 91: Return to Xiangyang
"Since Miss Yueying is so loving, what else does Ben Gongzi have to say? Ben Gongzi naturally agreed to this marriage, but Ben Gongzi has a requirement, I must hold a concubine ceremony after the wedding, although this is a bit ostentatious, but I Liu Qi must be worthy of his own woman, every woman has only this glory in her life, even if she remarries, she can only sneak and dare not make a noise, so I must give them such a brilliance, so that they have no regrets in their lives, and this qiē must be approved by the lady of the main room, so. Although this son agrees to take a concubine, I am afraid that it will take a while for the real marriage. ”
Liu Qi looked at Huang Zu and said solemnly.
But Huang Zu laughed, nodded and praised: "No wonder Ying'er has taken a fancy to you, you really have a vision." Eldest prince, please rest assured, as long as you agree to this matter, the last general will never force the marriage, and since you have agreed to the marriage contract, the last general and my entire Jiangxia will be under your command in the future. ”
But Liu Qi shook his head with a smile and said, "No, old general, it is precisely because of this that you should take refuge in Cai Mao." ”
"Huh? What does Childe mean by this? Could it be that I suspect that Huang Zu can't succeed? Huang Zu was stunned for a moment, and then asked puzzled.
"Hehe, General Huang, the whole of Xiangyang knows that there shouldn't be many Yueying girls in our army, right?" Liu Qi smiled faintly and said mysteriously.
"It's natural, are we going to publicize it? If you let others know, how should people in the world view us Ying'er? What does the eldest prince mean by this? Huang Zu still didn't understand the meaning of Liu Qi's words, so he asked in amazement.
"Hehe, in that case, that's really good, Old General Huang, we might as well be like this." Liu Qi then explained to Huang Zu.
Huang Zu couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "The eldest prince is really good, hehe, I'm afraid that Cai Mao won't even know how he died in the future." The eldest prince is really a master of conspiracy. ”
Liu Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "General Huang, are you praising me or am you mocking me?" ”
"Haha......" Huang Zu and Liu Qi glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.
After the two finished speaking, they walked out of the living room one after the other.
Not long after the results came out, the two fell out.
It turned out that during the meal, Liu Qi sat in the first seat without concessions, and after eating and drinking, he said to Huang Zu: "Old General Huang, thank you for your hospitality, now that the general is also full of food and drink, I will tell you one thing, this general found a letter when he killed Zhang Hu, which contained evidence of collusion between the old general and Zhang Hu to share the spoils, if the old general promised to provide 300,000 grains for this son, this son will destroy the letter." ”
Huang Zu was stunned when he heard this, and said helplessly: "Now that there is not much food in my city, can the eldest prince collect less?" At the end, the love will send 100,000 grains, and 1,000 beauties will be dedicated to the eldest son. ”
Liu Qi sneered: "Old General Huang is very calculating, is a thousand beauties worth 100,000 grains?" Could it be that this son is the kind of person who covets beautiful women? What's more, General Ben wants them to raise an extra thousand people, do you think General Ben is stupid? You are limited to prepare 300,000 pieces of grain within ten days and send it to Anhui County immediately, otherwise my son will definitely go to my father to join you in colluding with thieves."
Huang Zu was furious and said loudly: "The last general greeted you kindly, and also treated you with wine and meat, but I didn't expect you to threaten the general." Hehe, if you want to sue, just sue, the old man has been in the army for more than 30 years, and there are tens of thousands of male soldiers in Jiangxia, even if the lord has to weigh it, do you think you can bring down the general with just one sentence from you? ”
"Hehe, since you toast and don't eat and drink, then Ben Gongzi is not welcome." Liu Qi sneered, and broke up with Huang Zu at the moment.
What is even more unexpected is that when Liu Qi swaggered to the pavilion to rest, Huang Zu was even more furious and quietly ordered his subordinates to burn Deng Long to the pavilion at night and burn Liu Qi to death.
However, when Deng Long commanded the sergeant to carry firewood and grass, he was discovered by Zhang Tong and immediately reported to Liu Qi.
Liu Qi was shocked, and immediately led everyone out of the city and fled to Xiangyang overnight.
Liu Qi led his generals and took three days to feel the city of Xiangyang. As soon as Liu Qi returned to Xiangyang, he went straight to the Jingzhou Pastoral Office to see Liu Biao.
"When I met my father, the child was not filial, and he had not been able to fulfill his filial piety in front of his father, but it made his father worried." Looking at the handsome Confucian in front of him who had left traces of time on his face, Liu Qi's heart couldn't help but feel a little excited, and he said with tears in his eyes.
"Hehe, Qi'er, hurry up, look at you, they are all General Pingdong and Yangzhou Thorn History, why do you still cry like a child? Come and sit down with my father. You have worked really hard for more than a year, conquering the east and west, saddle horses, pacified the four counties of Jingnan, and subdued the four counties of Nanhai, Cangwu, Yuzhang and Lujiang, so that my land in Jingzhou has more than doubled, you are my great hero in Jingzhou, what else do you say filial piety and unfilial piety? If you serve the country and the people, you are the greatest filial piety to your father. ”
Liu Biao hurriedly ordered someone to add a cushion beside him and let Liu Qi sit beside him.
The father and son said a few more thoughtful words, and Liu Biao said: "My father heard that in the past few years, Sun Ce'er has been in full swing, and he has occupied Danyang, Wu County, and Huiji County like a broken bamboo, but no matter how strong Sun Ce is, he was still injured by Qi'er in Anhui County, and now he led the army back to Jiangdong, a corner of peace, and it can't become any climate. ”
Liu Qi sighed and said slowly: "The child also has this intention, as long as the child gets married and gives birth to a boy and half a girl, even if he dies suddenly in the future, it can be regarded as leaving a pulse of incense for his father, and it can be regarded as a filial piety for his father." ”
Liu Biao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Where did my son say this?" ”
But he didn't expect Liu Qi to suddenly kneel on the ground, and said to Liu Biao with tears: "Please father for the child, the child has been in charge of Jingnan for more than a year, harvesting Cangwu, fighting the South China Sea, descending Yuzhang, Dinglu River, and going through hardships, the child as the eldest son of the father, naturally has to share the worries for the father, so the child dare not have complaints, and there should be no complaints, but the child never imagined that the child was safe and sound in front of the enemy soldiers, but he was threatened by his own people all the time, and even faced danger to his life several times. ”
"What? Is there such a thing? Who would dare to be so bold and dare to harm my son! Qi'er, you quickly report the inside story to me, no matter who it is, my father will definitely not spare it. ”
When Liu Biao saw Liu Qi say this, he couldn't help but be furious, and said with a shot.
"The child did not dare to say it, because the man was a close relative of the child, and it would hurt the affection to say it." Liu Qi looked at Liu Biao and said hesitantly.
"But it doesn't matter, no matter who it is, this time the father will definitely not spare him!" Liu's surface sank like water, and he snorted heavily.
"Yes, big cousin." Liu Qi seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said slowly.
"What? It's Zhang Yun, this brute! Liu Biao couldn't help but groan when he heard this, and said to Liu Qi again: "Qi'er, this matter involves your cousin, but you have to have full evidence, do you have evidence?" Do you dare to confront him in court? ”
Liu Qi sighed: "The child has evidence in his hands, in fact, the child doesn't want to hurt the friendship with the eldest cousin, so although he knows that the eldest cousin is very unfriendly to the child, but he also deliberately tries to please him, he began to assassinate the child, the child thinks about the feelings of relatives, and does not want to denounce him, but the child is afraid that he will encounter a similar situation in the future. I'm afraid I won't be able to serve my father anymore. So in order to save his life, the child had to confess his eldest cousin. ”
"Okay, since you have evidence in your hand, my father will summon this beast tomorrow, and then let Qi'er confront him in court, and then the evidence will be ironclad, see what else he has to say?"
Liu Biao's face was gloomy, and he immediately ordered Liu Xian to summon Zhang Yun to Xiangyang quickly, and at the same time notified all the important ministers of cultural relics in Jingzhou to gather in Xiangyang, and those who did not arrive within three days would be severely punished.
Liu Qi thanked Liu Biao, talked to his father again, and then withdrew.
After returning to the living room in the Jingzhou Pastoral Mansion, Liu Qi immediately ordered Liu Shi to call Zhang Hu, who had been quietly living in seclusion in Xiangyang, and gave him an explanation.
And at this moment in Jiangling, Zhang Yun suddenly received Liu Biao's order to rush to Xiangyang, and couldn't help but wonder, I don't know what happened to call him to Xiangyang this time? However, he believes that Liu Biao is his own uncle, and Cai Mao covers him, no matter what crime he committed, he will be safe, not to mention, this may be a good thing, maybe it is a good thing, now that Liu Qi has been named the assassin of Yangzhou, his people should also give up Jingnan, maybe this time he is appointing himself as the Taishou of a certain county.
So Zhang Yun didn't have any worries at all, and rode directly to Xiangyang, and it wasn't until he inquired about the news with Cai Mao that he heard that Liu Qi had returned, and complained to his uncle Liu Biao, saying that he had sent someone to assassinate him.
Although Zhang Yun was a little nervous, he still didn't take it too seriously, he had two skins on his mouth, as long as he denied it, what else could he do? Even if you really can't deny it, isn't it over to shift the blame to your subordinates? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you really can't shirk your responsibility, with your uncle's character, can you still kill yourself?
And Cai Mao didn't take this matter seriously, because he knew that although Liu Qi looked powerful, his influence in front of Liu was far inferior to his own, not to mention that he also had a sister to help, he recently heard that Liu Qi and Huang Zu seemed to be a little unhappy, so he thought that when Liu Qi returned to Lujiang, he would send someone to assassinate him in the name of Huang Zu, so that he could not only get rid of Liu Qi, but also take the opportunity to eradicate Huang Zu's forces and let himself completely control the entire Jiangbei region.
Liu Cong and the Fan family, who had been accepted by Liu Cong as a concubine, are now holding back their strength, this time Liu Qi returned to Xiangyang, but it was an excellent opportunity for revenge, didn't he want to frame his eldest cousin? At this meeting, we proved the innocence of the eldest cousin, and instead let him be falsely accused. Even if he would not be punished, his father would dislike him. Isn't he going to get married? We're going to assassinate him at the wedding feast and see if he's not dead this time?
