Time passed day by day, and the days gradually arrived in August of the thirteenth year of Jian'an. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWith Cao Cao's army officially moving south, this shocking news can no longer be hidden. Although Liu Bei, the weakest, was still unaware of this situation under the deliberate blockade of well-intentioned people, Jingzhou, which was the main target of Cao Cao's expedition this time, was in chaos at the moment because of the arrival of the news.

Liu Biao's serious illness has been a matter since the beginning of this year. Originally, his condition was so hung that he couldn't get up or down, and he couldn't get better, and he couldn't go down if he was bad. It wasn't until the news about Cao Cao's southward movement suddenly sounded in his ears that his illness suddenly worsened. Under the fear of Cao Cao from the heart, Liu Biao's body is getting worse day by day. By this August, he had a lot of gas in and a little out of gas, and it was obvious that his demise would be in a few days.

The news that Liu Biao was seriously ill and about to die was concealed by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who actually held the rights in Xiangyang. He ordered the news to be blocked, and sent troops to surround Liu Biao's mansion, and under the pretense of Liu Biao's order, the Taishou of all the counties in Jingzhou could not easily move their territory.

This order seems to be intended to maintain the stability of Jingzhou itself and prevent local Taishou from causing rebellion, but in reality it was directed at only two people, namely Yuzhou Mu, Zuo General Liu Bei, and Jiangxia Taishou Liu Qi. Liu Bei is a guest general and a soldier, so he is naturally the object of defense at this stormy time. But for the locals of Jingzhou, it is relatively easy to deal with Liu Bei, after all, he is still an outsider.

But what about Liu Qi? I thought he was a boy who didn't have any ability, and I thought that he would be thrown outside like that to make his ears clean, and he could fend for himself, but where would he have thought that he still had such a means to gather the scattered soldiers and horses when Jiangxia was defeated and become a powerful person with 10,000 soldiers. This is troublesome: he and Liu Biao are born father and son. No matter how much Cai Mao and Zhang Yun tried to tell the truth, they couldn't change this, so he could only let Liu Qi stay in Jiangxia by order, and did not tell him the news of Liu Biao's serious illness. They were afraid that if Liu Biao met Liu Qi, Liu Biao said in front of Liu Qi, "Give Jingzhou to you." "—that's bad. The will from Liu Biao's mouth is orthodox for most officials in Jingzhou, and once Liu Biao says that, the hearts of Jingzhou people will soon run to Liu Qi's side, which is something that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are very unwilling to see.

As a result, they became very nervous, issued several orders one after another, and even announced a curfew in Xiangyang, and officially blocked several city gates in Xiangyang. The current situation is very chaotic, whether it is Cai Mao or Zhang Yun, they don't want to make trouble, they just want to wait, wait for Cao Cao's army to arrive, stabilize everything, and slowly eliminate those damn guys who don't obey their orders one by one.

Of course, you still have to be patient now.

The power of Xiangyang is actually in the hands of the local families in Xiangyang, and Liu Biao is just the manager recognized by these families. Regarding the matter of defecting to Cao Cao, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Han Song and others have already contacted several families and obtained their approval, forming an alliance to a certain extent. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun thought that with such an alliance, they could confidently manage Xiangyang, but they underestimated the ability of some people after all. There are many officials in Xiangyang City, and there are still some officials who are unwilling to go with Cai and Zhang, including Iraq.

Yi is a fellow villager of Liu Biao, and neither of them is from Jingzhou. However, because the Yi nationality followed Liu Biao very early, after Liu Biao came to Jingzhou, he also received Liu Biao's favor and was quite promoted. Yi is a well-traveled person, he has a good relationship with his colleagues, and he also gets along well with Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi, who can be regarded as an eight-sided and exquisite character.

Yi is not a fool, and he naturally knows that it is impossible for Liu Biao to keep Jingzhou for Liu Biao's decline. He also thought about changing his master, but the person he valued was not Cao Cao, the most powerful person in the world, but Li Sheng, the Taishou of Changsha who was now under Liu Biao.

The relationship between people is very ingenious, just like Yi nationality hates Cao Cao just by hearing about it, and identifies with Li Sheng just by meeting a few times, invisible fate entangles different people together and forms a power group.

On the surface, Yi nationality is still Liu Biao's important minister, so it is impossible for Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to have too many restrictions on Yi nationality. This gave Yi an opportunity, and he secretly sent someone to report the changes in Xiangyang to Liu Qi in Jiangxia, so that he could quickly lead his troops to Xiangyang.

This operation was carried out with the benefit of Li Sheng. Li Sheng wants to make the changes in things more in line with the trajectory of history, make Xiangyang more chaotic, and win more time for himself. This is a very necessary thing, after all, Li Sheng is currently in the midst of a busy integration.

Regarding the intelligence of Iraq, Liu Qi naturally believed it. In fact, although he was cowardly, he was not a complete fool. He had long been suspicious of his father's recent orders, and what he had been told by the former important minister of Liu Biao's side was undoubtedly the best reason to solve his doubts. Since the matter of Iraq's defection to Li Sheng was carried out in secret, Liu Qi thought that Iraq had a good impression of him and specially reminded himself. After receiving the news, he immediately gathered the five thousand elite soldiers in his hands and embarked on the journey to Xiangyang.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who were busy, didn't expect Liu Qi to know the news at all, and naturally they didn't take any precautions against Xiangyang City. They were busy gathering in Cai Mao's mansion to discuss the latest news about Cao Cao: Cao Cao's southward army had set out from Changshe and would arrive in Wancheng in a few days.

"Wancheng is Liu Bei's territory, and it is the first city that Prime Minister Cao Cheng faced. We all know who Liu Bei is, and we all understand his hatred for Prime Minister Cao. Now we say that we want to return to Prime Minister Cao in Jingzhou, but we can only convince our own submission, but we can't convince Liu Bei's submission. As for Liu Bei, he nominally belonged to us Jingzhou at the time, but in reality we did not have the ability to rule him. We all understand this, but Prime Minister Cao doesn't know. If he encounters Liu Bei's resistance in Wancheng, and thinks that our submission is just fake, and points the soldiers at us, then we will be miserable. Cai Mao said with a sad face: "Liu Bei is really a hot potato for us. ”

"How to solve this potato!" That's what Cai Mao meant by bringing them together. Although a few years ago, Kuai Yue had told Liu Biao how to solve Liu Bei's matter, but that method seemed to stop at Liu Biao and did not spread. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were not aware of Kuai Yue's clever opinion on dealing with Liu Bei, so they were quite embarrassed after facing the news that Cao Cao was about to arrive in Wancheng.

In desperation, they asked Kuai Yue for a plan, and got a simple solution from Kuai Yue: "Just tell Cao Cao directly about this matter, and say that we can only restrain Xiangyang, Jiangling and other places We have no way to deal with Liu Bei in Xinye, please ask Prime Minister Cao Cheng to solve it himself." ”

"Is this possible?" Cai Mao and Zhang Yun asked with their eyes pierced.

"That's the only thing we can do, whether it's feasible or not. Isn't it possible to use our army to attack Liu Bei? Kuai Yue glared at them fiercely and asked.

"This ......" Cai and Zhang were stuck. To attack Liu Bei? That's really a joke, Liu Bei's subordinates are fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. To hit him? Isn't that self-defeating? That's what idiots do. Thinking of this, both of them had no choice. “…… Just do as you say. That's all they could say.

At that moment, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun asked a clever official to ask Song Zhong to write the relevant documents and send them to Cao Cao's army. was about to walk, when he suddenly heard a news: the eldest son Liu Qi led 5,000 elite soldiers into the city.

"Got into town? How can this be, didn't I ask you to guard the gate of Xiangyang? Cai Mao couldn't help but roar in anger. It's really not smooth, Liu Bei's matter here hasn't been solved yet, and he actually encountered Liu Qi's matter. Although Liu Qi has no fierce generals, and his own ability is not comparable to Liu Bei, he is Liu Cousin's own son after all. Whether from the perspective of reason or emotion, there is nothing wrong with Liu Qi coming to Xiangyang, and even when his father is seriously ill, his son must be present. However, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were very afraid of Liu Qi meeting Liu Biao, because he was afraid that Liu Biao would tell Liu Qi whose will Jingzhou belonged to in front of everyone. Once Liu Biao said that Jingzhou would be passed on to Liu Qi, then not only would his side lose the reputation of righteousness, but even in fact, he would have to face Liu Qi and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses at the same time, which would be terrible.

"What should I do?" After discussing for a long time, everyone finally did not come to a conclusion, and under the extreme urgency of the situation, they could only send someone here to meet Liu Qi first to see if the eldest son had any intentions.

Soon, Zhang Yun came to Liu Qi's mansion and arrived at Liu Qi's accommodation. Facing Liu Qi, who was dressed in battle and standing in front of him, Zhang Yun almost didn't dare to recognize him. Although his face is still the same, it has changed Liu Qi's momentum a little in the past few months. He has become more like a general, and there is a vague sense of calm pressure in his words and deeds, which makes Zhang Yun stunned.

However, stunned to stunned, Zhang Yun, who is also a leading general, will not be afraid of him. After he settled down a little in front of Liu Qi, a persuasion began: "The lord sent you to Jiangxia because that place belongs to the important place and is very important to us in Jingzhou. Now that Childe wants to see the lord, I am afraid that the lord's guild will be angry because Childe has abandoned his duties, which will worsen the lord's condition. Please think twice about this for filial piety. Only by returning to Jiangxia immediately is the way of the Son of Man. After that, Zhang Yun still had a little hard sleeves and stood up, leaving Liu Qi alone to think there. Although Liu Qi's troops had already moved these people in Xiangyang and made them a little afraid, but before everything was spread out, Xiangyang's side thought that they were still in the upper hand, so they seemed relatively strong.

"Damn......" Liu Qi looked at the sound of Zhang Yun leaving, and suddenly became annoyed, and he slammed the things around him to the ground: "You actually didn't let me see my father." Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, since you are like this, then don't blame me for being polite. For this matter, you have your means, I have my methods, hum......" He stood up and found his henchmen, and whispered to them: "You quietly invite Mr. Yi to me, and say that I have something important to discuss with him." Keeping this in mind cannot attract anyone's attention. ”

"Understood!" The henchman nodded and went quickly, and half an hour later, he brought Yi Ji to Liu Qi.

"Mr. Jibo, thanks to you this time. If you hadn't told me the news of the Xiangyang incident, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known that these villains were doing a good job here, and I wouldn't have known that my father was so seriously ill. As soon as Liu Qi saw Yi Ji, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and grabbed Yi Ji's hand and cried and said: "A person who is a human cannot serve in front of his parents' bed, this is not a big deal. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun guarded the state pastoral mansion with heavy troops, and did not let me enter the mansion to meet my father, in order to force me to be this unfilial person. I'm in a mess at the moment, I don't know what to do, and I ask my husband to teach me. "There are only two people in the hall, Yi and Liu Qi, and the guards outside the hall are all the henchmen that Liu Qi has received after he arrived in Jiangxia, and he knows that there are spies sent by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun among his original guests, and at this moment he completely left them in Jiangxia without any of them, in case something happens to Xiangyang.

Looking at the real performance on Liu Qi's face, Yi Ji couldn't help but sigh secretly, he held Liu Qi's hand and let him go, and at the same time opened his mouth to give advice to Liu Qi: "The son rushed all the way to Xiangyang, and this filial piety is enough to move the world." Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and they didn't let Gongzi and the lord Jiangmian be their fault, and they couldn't blame Gongzi in any case. What Gongzi has to do now is to return to Jingzhou to visit the lord in the next two days, and Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are very unallowed to make a big fuss, so that everyone in the city knows that it is not that Gongzi is unfilial, but because of Cai Zhang's obstruction. In this way, the sins of the child's head were removed. Once this is done, Childe can return to Jiangxia with peace of mind. Cao Cao in the north has gone south, and his purpose is Jingzhou, what is the calculation of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and what kind of decision will they make in such a situation, I think Gongzi should know virtue. In Xiangyang, even if Gongzi had the protection of these 5,000 soldiers, it was not enough to fight them, so it was better to return to Jiangxia first, organize the soldiers and horses, and prepare for the recovery of lost territory in the future. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun Their opinions are not the opinions of everyone in Jingzhou, after Cao Cao's arrival, everything will have a result. According to the words that Li Sheng gave him, Yi Ji directly helped Liu Qi find a way out. This is not only for Liu Qi's sake, but also for Li Sheng's own sake, Li Sheng has an attitude of keeping as much as he can for the forces that Jingzhou can use. For Li Sheng, defeating Cao Cao first is the most crucial thing.

"I see." Liu Qi sighed, but the tears in his eyes couldn't stop falling. He stared ahead for a long time, gritted his teeth heavily, and said the final decision: "I will return to Hanjin in a few days." Liu Qi said in a choked voice. Although he likes to drink and have fun, likes beautiful women to play, and is always a little cowardly, his feelings for his father are not fake. Now, when his father is seriously ill, he has to leave like this, even if it is because the situation is forced, it does make him a little uncomfortable. But there is no way to do this, with his current strength, he simply cannot change all this.

Xiangyang City suddenly fell into chaos, Liu Qi's soldiers ran rampant in the market, shouting loudly that they wanted Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others to let go of the state pastor's mansion, let the eldest son Liu Qi go in to see Liu Biao, and make the matter that originally belonged to high-level officials known to the people. Although Liu Qi did not order his subordinates to attack the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, Liu Qi's 500 cavalry continued to wander in front of the Governor's Mansion, but it also made the soldiers who were ordered to guard the mansion Cai and Zhang feel a heavy pressure.

"Liu Qi, this kid...... What do you want to do? Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were worried, but there was nothing they could do. In the face of the 5,000 elite soldiers belonging to Liu Qi in the city, they did not dare to move easily even if they had 10,000 people in their hands. This year's situation has become too severe, and the sudden change always makes people feel a little caught off guard - the attack of the Jiangdong Army at the beginning of the year made Liu Biao send 50,000 defenders of Xiangyang to Jiangling, and he has not been transferred back until now. Due to the existence of Wenpin, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun thought that they could use 10,000 soldiers and horses to protect Xiangyang and stability, but they didn't want to encounter such an accident.

"I'm...... What kind of day like this is the end? Zhang Yun couldn't stand the irritability of the past few days, and couldn't help but complain to Cai Mao again. Although up to now, Liu Qi's commotion has only been tinkering outside the state pastor's mansion, and has not touched the bottom line originally set by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, but for Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, Liu Qi's existence is like a fly that has been circling around you, buzzing all the time, making people uncomfortable and tight. Don't say that Zhang Yun, who is still young, can't stand this kind of anger, even Cai Mao, who has always prided himself on being cautious, frowns at this day by day. The reason why he didn't act was because the people inside hadn't left completely, and everything hadn't completely reached the point where he had said it.

"Bear with me a little longer. As long as you can hold on until Prime Minister Cao Cheng's army arrives, everything is not easy to say? Cai Mao could only comfort him like this, although at the moment he also had a fire in his heart.

"Alas......" Zhang Yun sighed, but there was nothing he could do.

Suddenly, someone under his command came to report: "The eldest son, Liu Qi, led his troops out of the east gate this morning." ”

"What? Are they gone? Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were stunned when they heard this, and they all showed a relaxed smile on their faces: "That's good, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief." So they said.

However, things are not always as rosy as they imagined. They just thought they could breathe a sigh of relief here, and they immediately received the news: Lord Liu Biao has gone.

"What......?" The two of them stared at each other with blood-red eyes and asked in surprise.

After confirming that this situation was true, they quickly pulled a few Jingzhou ministers at hand to get busy. According to the prior agreement, they forged Liu Biao's will, appointed Liu Cong as the pastor of Jingzhou, which was regarded as taking over Liu Biao's position, and at the same time sent Song Zhong, who was supposed to leave a few days ago, to deliver documents to Cao Cao's side. Of course, since Liu Biao has gone, the content of the delivery document is no longer about Liu Bei's various explanations, but a complete reduction of the table. Jingzhou had decided to surrender to Cao Cao, a decision made by all the important ministers after putting Liu Cong in the position of state pastor. They were frightened by the strong pressure of Cao Cao's soldiers, and they never wanted to resist.

For everyone's cowardice, although the new Jingzhou Mu is also a little unhappy, what can he do when he is only fourteen years old? In desperation, he was also persuaded by everyone and agreed to their unanimous decision.

What was originally going on in secret was now brought to the surface and passed, and Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others came out with a long breath. "It's time to look at how to deal with those big and small opponents in Jingzhou." They thought about it and then started the next topic, "How to deal with the eldest son Liu Qi." ”

For these people in Xiangyang, there are two people who oppose them in the whole Jingzhou at the moment: one is Yuzhou Mu, who came to Jingzhou, Liu Bei, the general of Zuo, and the other is Liu Qi, the Taishou of Jiangxia, both of whom have more than 10,000 troops and can pose a threat to them. As for those Taishou in Jingnan, they don't take it to heart, first, the land of Jingnan is really remote, even if they lose it, it doesn't matter; Second, those Taishou in Jingnan really don't have the capital to fight against their own side - they only have a few thousand people, and they are not a powerful force at all.

"As long as Liu Bei and Liu Qi are dealt with, there will be no one who opposes us in Jingzhou." Everyone has always thought so.

At present, Liu Bei's affairs have been directly handed over to Cao Cao to deal with, and what they have to pay attention to now is Liu Qi's soldiers and horses. After receiving the news that Liu Biao was sick, Liu Qi, who had only been out of the city for a day, led his troops to stop about fifteen miles east of Xiangyang City. He built a camp there, looked at the direction of Xiangyang, and made it look like he was going to march at any time.

"Do you want to send troops?" Zhang Yun asked.

"Sending troops? Would the soldiers in Jingzhou be willing? Although we have conveyed the true will of Lord Liu Biao, for those soldiers below, the authenticity of the will we issued is still questionable. If we send troops now, I'm afraid it will just give Liu Qi's side an excuse, which will be very unfavorable to us. Cai Mao shook her head and denied Zhang Yun's suggestion.

"Since you can't send troops, let him be gentle. Give him a little benefit so that he will not go against us again. Anyway, it only takes a few days, even if you give Gangneung to him, it's fine. As long as the soldiers of Prime Minister Cao Cheng arrive, what is lost will not be able to come? Han Song suggested.

"No, Gangneung is an important place for our army, and we can't easily allow people. If it is given to Liu Qi like this and let him become bigger, it will not be good. Cai Mao glared at Han Song fiercely and refused. He turned to Kuai Yue: "Zhongyi, what do you think of this matter?" He humbly pleaded for advice. For this Liu Biao, Cai Mao, who was the most favored mastermind during his lifetime, attaches great importance to it.

"Give him a marquis. gave him the title of Duke Liu, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for him. Kuai Yue groaned and said: "The loss of a title has no effect on us, and once Liu Qi accepts it, then he will lose the reason to move troops against us, which is a good thing for us." ”

"That's all there is to it." Cai Mao was stunned for a long time, thought about it carefully, and had no choice but to agree like this.

Liu Biao's last official position was the Marquis of Chengwu and the general of Zhennan to lead Jingzhou Mu. Chengwu is a county, located in Qingzhou, which is now under Cao Cao's rule. Letting Liu Qi be this Chengwu Marquis is just a fictitious title at all, and it is impossible for him to get something like Nian Feng from Cao Cao, it can be said that he has nothing but a hat. If Liu Qi accepted the title of Marquis of Chengwu, it would also mean that he recognized Liu Cong's legitimacy in Jingzhou, thus losing the legitimacy of his actions against Liu Cong.

Using a mere title to achieve such a purpose is what Cai Mao and the others are happy to see. As soon as the discussion between the few people was over, they immediately sent a messenger to run towards Jiang Xia. Regarding this matter, they did not ask Jingzhou Mu Liu Cong for approval, but took Liu Biao's Chengwu Marquis seal and left. As far as they are concerned, Liu Cong is just a façade, a puppet, and as long as the real thing is decided on their side, it is enough.

The envoy hurried out of the city, and came to Liu Qi's camp half an hour later. After informing him of his position and affiliation, he was immediately brought to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi sat on top of the handsome position and looked at him quietly, and there were more than a dozen three or five thick guards standing on both sides, adding a little solemn atmosphere to this simple big tent. There is undoubtedly some depression in the big tent, but this depression makes Liu Qi feel relieved and happy. He looked calmly, and the envoy, who looked slightly uncomfortable under such suppression, had a mocking smile on his face.

He sat on top of it, looked down and saw what the messenger was holding. "There must be a seal in there." He was no stranger to what the envoy was holding, after all, his Jiangxia Taishou Great Seal was also loaded in such a box. Looking at this black wooden work, his mind turned slightly, but he somewhat guessed the purpose of the messenger's visit.

"Do you want to use your official position to buy me? Hum! Liu Qi was unhappy in his heart, and he didn't give the envoy much good face at the moment.

"Open the box!" Facing the messenger who came to read the edict, Liu Qi said in a tone that was close to an order.

This is an impudent act. Originally, the envoy came to read the edict of the state pastor on behalf of Jingzhou Mu, and Liu Qi, who was the Taishou of Jiangxia, should kneel down and receive the order. But until this moment, Liu Qi was still sitting on top of his handsome position with a big grin, cross-legged and without the consciousness of getting up at all, which made the envoy a little overwhelmed.

In the face of Liu Qi's strength, the envoy trembled and secretly glanced around, and the sword-wielding guards standing on both sides gave him an unusually heavy pressure. Under such pressure, he involuntarily chose to obey Liu Qi's orders, and gently opened the wooden box in his arms, and placed the seal and ribbon of Cheng Wuhou inside.

"Bring it!" Liu Qi ordered strongly.

Because of the previous submission, the messenger trembled at the moment, but he once again carried out Liu Qi's order - holding the box that had been opened in both hands and walking towards Liu Qi.

"You are so rude, kneel for me!" Just when the envoy was about to arrive in front of Liu Qi, Liu Qi suddenly let out such a snort. It was a very majestic and stern abstinence, like thunder in a clear sky, so that the ears of the people in the tent could not help but roar. The envoy was frightened, sat on the ground, looked as if he was kneeling, and looked at Liu Qi with wide eyes. He didn't seem to recognize the eldest son anymore. If he hadn't experienced it just now, he couldn't have imagined that the young man in front of him, whose face was pale and his body was slightly thin, would make such a loud shout.

"It's no different from those rude generals." He was afraid. After a brief moment of dizziness, he woke up to his current position: fortunately, he was not kneeling.

"It seems that this mission will not be completed." The envoy who was already frightened thought about Liu Qi's action of ordering him to kneel just now, and he already had a trace of realization in his heart.

The official position of the envoy is not high, far inferior to Liu Qi as a taishou, but the envoy exists as the majesty of Jingzhou Mu when performing his mission. Therefore, when he entered into this tent, he did not kneel down in spite of all kinds of oppression. After all, if he kneels, he will be insulted to the Lord's order, which is equivalent to his master Liu Cong kneeling, which is not a good thing, and it is what he has been fighting against.

Liu Qi's attitude of not recognizing Liu Cong as the lord of Jingzhou is already very obvious. Although this attitude has been revealed in the previous drinking order, his next behavior is even more clear about this attitude:

"What is this?" Liu Qi raised his chin and asked deliberately without looking at the envoy's face. Although the envoy had already informed Liu Qi's subordinates about coming here before, Liu Qi pretended not to know anything at this moment.

"It's the seal of your father, the Marquis of Chengwu, and the lord asked him to hand him over ......to you," the messenger whispered, and the voice was inaudible later.

"Bastard!" Liu Qi finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up suddenly. He walked proudly to the messenger's side, picked up the seal from the wooden box with the lid spread out in front of him, looked at it carefully, and threw it to the ground with all his might. He seems to hate this scarf very much, just as he hates Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. He stomped on it hard, then spat a thick mouthful of phlegm on it. Only then did it calm down a little.

"You put away the ribbon seal for me, get out, and tell Liu Cong honestly about the situation here!" Liu Qi called his younger brother, who is also the new lord of Jingzhou, by name: "Tell him, don't think that no one will know about their affairs if they keep them secret." If the foundation of Jingzhou falls into the hands of outsiders, his father will come back to him to settle accounts even under Jiuquan. ”

With that, Liu Qi turned around and walked out of the big tent, and with a wave of his hand, he took out the guards in the tent.
