Liu Cong sat down and continued to think: "Jingzhou is now prosperous on the surface, but in fact, the danger is not far away. My father only enjoyed a short period of leisure here, knowing that the future would not be good, and he was really unable to take appropriate countermeasures.

On the territory of Jingzhou, thousands of miles away, people are secretly enjoying peace, why don't they look far away?

There is Sun Quan in the east and Cao Cao in the north, just like two jackals squatting at the door, waiting for the opportunity to jump in the door to kill and wreak havoc.

The day is not far off, just four years later, and everyone does not know it, but I understand.

Everyone was confused, but I couldn't wait for Cao Cao to come over and take Jingzhou, and send someone to kill me and Mrs. Cai on the way to Qingzhou to take office. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Cong felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if a blade had swept by, he unconsciously touched the back of his head, and felt that the head was still on it, so he raised his head and shouted: "Even if you don't save your life, you should also imagine for the Han Dynasty - the ancestors left such a great mountain and river, passed down from generation to generation, from Emperor Guangwu to the present, it has been more than 200 years, how can it be allowed to fall into the hands of a different surname for a while!" If nothing else, for the country and for the family, he will definitely fight with Cao Cao's old thief. ”

At this time, there was a burst of chirping, and a group of sparrows fell down to drink water, Liu Cong looked at the sparrows and thought: "Big brother Liu Qi can't stay, he should be disposed of." He is like this bird, who only knows the instinctive life, and does not look to the future. If he just wants to eat and drink, it doesn't hurt to stay, no matter how poor Jingzhou is, his family will not be poor to eat and drink. However, I am afraid that keeping him will ruin my big affairs in Jingzhou. ”

Liu Cong was determined at this time, so he found arguments to support his plan: "This is not brothers fighting for family wealth and killing each other, this is for the sake of the world's plan." The existence of the eldest brother is not conducive to the major events of the world, so he should disappear automatically - there are not many such people in the world, walking corpses, wine bags and rice bags, one more and one less will not have much impact on the world. Besides, in Chinese history, there are several examples of fratricide. ”

Liu Cong remembers these examples, as I said before, Liu Cong's favorite thing in his reading time is history and geography, and the story of the "Candle Shadow Axe" (Note 1) performed by the brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi in history is not that Zhao Kuangyi couldn't wait for his eldest brother Zhao Kuangyin to die, so he did it in the palace?

Now that Zhao Kuangyin is terminally ill, can't this Zhao Kuangyi wait a few more days?

After he killed Zhao Kuangyin, he couldn't wait to ascend the throne and became the second emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

What did he draw? One picture is the Great Song Dynasty, and the other is that his eldest brother died early, and no one dared to care about him if he became the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was convenient to force Xiao Zhouhou, who was thinking about him, to come over to eat and sleep early.

This Zhao Kuangyi bastard is ruthless enough, just to take possession of Xiao Zhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty, he started to kill his brother who was already terminally ill.

I disposed of my eldest brother for the sake of Jingzhou's major affairs, and it is beyond reproach.

In addition, in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji's brothers performed the "Xuanwumen Change" (Note 2), etc., these historical allusions provide theoretical support for the current Liu Cong's idea of getting rid of his eldest brother Liu Qi.

Liu Cong decided to take action, but he didn't come up with a feasible solution for a while.

Liu Cong weighed for a while, and never came up with a perfect plan, so he stood up and swung two punches sullenly towards the thick old trunk of an old willow tree beside him.

Standing not far away, the servants Liang Zhuzi and Ma Zhu'er, who had been watching here, saw it, I don't know why Liu Cong was angry and punched the willow tree, and when he saw Liu Cong stretching his fist into the sky and gritting his teeth to endure the pain, he couldn't help laughing, ran over together, and asked repeatedly: "Second master, what's the matter?" "It doesn't matter to the second master, right?"

Liu Cong frowned, waved his hand at the two of them, and the two stepped aside.

Liu Cong stood up, threw his hands a few times, felt that it was not so painful, and scolded in his heart: "! On impulse, he almost lost both hands. "When I looked down, I had some flesh peeled off from my left fist and right fist, and my right fist was seriously injured, and a piece of flesh was turned over, so it was bleeding.

When Liu Cong saw it, he suddenly had an understanding; "With this little ability, I just want to stand up to the sky, no, I will seize the time to master the skills first." Thinking of this, he felt the pain of numbness, and turned his face to Liang Zhu'er and shouted, "Go find a few thistles!" ”

When the two servants heard this, they hurriedly divided their heads to look for them.

Liu Cong squatted down here, dipping the stream water to wash the blood stains on the back of his hands.

After a while, Ma Zhu'er sent the thistle first, and when he came to the front, he saw the blood on the back of Liu Cong's hand, and hurriedly said, "Second master, didn't you ask for hardship just now?" How can your tender fist hit the trunk of a tree! As he spoke, he formed the thistle into a ball, kneaded it with both hands, and after a while, the green vegetable juice was kneaded, and the hemp pole squatted down and pasted the thistle ball onto Liu Cong's wound, and the bleeding stopped.

Liu Cong saw that the bleeding had stopped, and he sternly scolded Liang Zhu'er Lai Fat: "No one is allowed to say anything about breaking this little skin!" Remember? ”

The two servants looked at Liu Cong in horror and replied, "Remember." ”

Listening to the two servants' answer like this did not bring much joy to Liu Cong, because these words did not change Liu Cong's anxious mood.

He thought about quickly persuading his father to take action, develop the economy, strengthen the army to protect himself, and prepare to resist the attack of Cao Bing in four years.

But my father told me not to be anxious and wait until I got married! But can Liu Cong not be in a hurry?

"Can something like this wait? Father is too calm! Liu Cong became more anxious when he thought of this: "No! To do extraordinary things, you must be extraordinary people! If it doesn't work, I'll do it first! ”

But how? Like before, Liu Cong still didn't have a clear plan in his heart at this time.

In this way, Liu Cong frowned and looked around in the shade of the tree, but he didn't see anything pleasant.

I only heard the ringing of the bell, only to see Liu Cong pull out his sword, and make a portal for the harrier to turn over, the sword pointed straight at the sunny sky, stepped on the bluestone on the shore of the water with one foot, and tapped the ground with one toe, stopped for a while, and actually danced the sword.

This swordsmanship has not been learned in later generations, and it is not known whether the deity has been instructed by a master, or it may be a natural kendo master, but I saw Liu Cong's dancing in this burst, which actually made the two servants behind him cheer in unison.

You must know that this Liang Zhuer and Lai Fat Man are martial arts masters who have been instructed by masters.

Liu Cong's body was drenched in sweat all the time dancing, and only then did he forget the troubles in his heart for the time being.

Stopping the sword, he suddenly remembered that he was going to marry his daughter-in-law in ten days, and when he thought of his daughter-in-law, he came up with an idea, and he was so happy that he patted his forehead with both hands and said: "Yes, yes, the daughter-in-law is the niece of Mrs. Cai, the stepmother, let the daughter-in-law do it immediately!" Let her urge Mrs. Cai to blow the wind next to Daddy's pillow! Right! Blowing the wind, ensuring that things are done as soon as they are blown. Well, I'll do it right away after I get married! ”

Since Liu Cong had an idea, he couldn't implement it for a while, and when he was so anxious that he had no way out, he turned his mind to his daughter-in-law: "Oops." It will take more than ten days to hug my daughter-in-law! Do you want human life? Who can stand it! ”

Since he thought that he couldn't play the card of his daughter-in-law for a while, Liu Cong shifted his mind to other women, these two women were his personal maids, and they couldn't help him at all, but they could change Liu Cong's mood: "Hmm! I'll go home tonight and make two games! Damn, I haven't had those two goblins for more than ten days. ”

It turned out that Liu Cong had harvested two beauties in a row these days, and they were not good faces, but completely obtained.

Although these two beauties are maids and have no ambition or talent, if they only talk about getting up and looking good, they are no worse than their fiancée Cai Yunfei.

Liu Cong and these two maids had a good relationship with Cai Yunfei as early as after they got engaged.

This matter is handled secretly, no one knows, in fact, others will not inquire about it - who didn't have three or two maids waiting for everyone's son in those two years?

These maids served their masters, and they had to serve in all directions, which was not uncommon in the social environment at that time.

Actually, Liu Cong did this thing a little strangely, strange that these two maids were sent by Mrs. Cai.

I don't know what Mrs. Cai is planning, it stands to reason that her niece is about to get married, Mrs. Cai will not send two beautiful girls over, isn't this to send cooked fresh fish to the mouth of the civet cat? However, Mrs. Cai did just that.

People don't understand this kind of thing now because they are too stupid, but people at the time understood that it was something that was not worth mentioning. 006
