Thanks to Brother Guan Sheng for the reward.

――――――――

Liu Qi's expression was resolute, as if there was no room for negotiation at all.

was strongly vetoed by Liu Qi, Liu Bei's peaceful expression did not change because of this, and even his eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared, the meaning of that smile was like an adult's disapproving performance after listening to a child's absurd words.

It's just that while his attitude was calm, he reached out and picked up the teacup and sent it to his mouth calmly. Liu Bei, who was standing behind him, could clearly see the green tendons on the back of Liu Bei's hand surging faintly, there was no doubt that it was hidden under anger.

According to the prior agreement, Liu Bei would use the cup as a sign to secretly order himself to make trouble and capture Liu Qi in one fell swoop. In the current atmosphere, Liu Bei's move is tantamount to a danger signal that he is about to attack.

Liu Feng's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he secretly clenched his fists, and his palms were faintly sweaty and hot.

He couldn't help but think in his mind that he had taken it upon himself to capture the benefactor who had blocked an arrow for himself, and what shocked and sad eyes Liu Qi would look at him when he arrived.

Liu Feng really didn't want to see this scene. Even in order to survive, revenge has never been in line with his principle of doing things.

However, Liu Feng's worries were a little redundant, Liu Bei obviously didn't plan to do it immediately, he just took a sip of tea to hide the embarrassment of being vetoed by Liu Qi.

After putting down the cup, Liu Bei asked with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, can you tell your uncle the reason for your objection?" ”

"Uncle has lived in Jingzhou for a long time, he should know that Jiangdong and my Jingzhou are feuds, that Sun Jian was not self-conscious, and died under the arrows of our army, Sun Ce and Sun Quan The two brothers have been avenging their father for more than ten years, and they have been constantly attacking Jingzhou, and even Huang Xiaoxian was killed by them. How can we join forces with such an enmity against the heavens! ”

Liu Qi's words were indignant, as if he was full of resentment when he mentioned the Jiangdong Sun family.

Liu Bei patiently listened to Liu Qi's complaints, his beard lowered slightly, revealing a bit of sighing: "The enmity between the two families of Liu and Sun, how can my uncle not know." However, the virtuous nephew should also understand that there are priorities, and our most important responsibility at the moment is to survive and take back Jingxiang's foundation, otherwise how can we be worthy of the spirit of Jingsheng in the sky. For the sake of this burden, should we first put aside the hatred of the past? ”

When Liu Bei said this, Liu Feng couldn't help but nod secretly: His words are really clever, move out of Liu Biao to pressure Liu Qi, and join forces with the enemy, which is cleverly converted into the responsibility of filial piety for his father, well, this step is well built, Zide, you can go down the ladder.

Liu Qi's angry expression eased slightly, and his face flushed from excitement gradually returned to normal, but the sword eyebrows that were still condensed like blades showed that he was not completely moved by Liu Bei's words.

"What my uncle said may be true, but has my uncle ever thought that the Sun clan has the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and if we introduce the Jiangdong Army into Jingzhou, once we repel the strong enemy Cao Ying and remove the threat from the north, they are very likely to take the opportunity to attack us. With the strength of the Jiangdong Naval Division, I am afraid that this enemy is even more terrible than Cao Ying, and when the time comes, we will not become the front door to resist the tiger, the back door to lead the wolf, and dig our own grave. ”

Liu Qi's judgment is still quite accurate, Cao Ying is a tiger, Sun Quan is a wolf, history proves that Sun Quan, the head wolf, has never given up on the prey at the door of Jingzhou. ’

While Liu Feng secretly praised Liu Qi, Liu Bei had already picked up the teacup again, this time his expression was no longer so peaceful, the crow's feet on the side of his eyes were faintly fluctuating, Liu Feng could vaguely feel that on the body that was close at hand, an unprecedented murderous aura was quietly permeating.

Xu Chu's murderous aura was like a howling north wind, blatant. Zhao Yun's murderous aura was like frost and snow in the sky, elegant but extremely cold. Guan Yu's murderous aura is like a towering Mount Tai, a lonely existence, which gives people a sense of oppression at any time.

And Liu Bei's murderous aura is very different from anyone else.

It seems to be the ocean under the sun, the sea is calm, the clouds are light and the wind is light, the people who sail on it, there is no fear at all, and under the sea, the undercurrent is surging and moving, and it is possible to break through the sea anytime and anywhere, and the monstrous waves can easily swallow everything on the sea.

A strong sense of oppression hidden under the calm, but suffocating, this is how Liu Feng feels now.

On his forehead, a drop of cold sweat quietly rolled down, and the shadow covered Liu Feng's anxious expression, Liu Qi, who was a few steps away, didn't realize at all what kind and benevolent uncle was brewing in his heart at the moment.

"Therefore, we must not take the risk of cooperating with the Sun family, I still say the same thing, as long as our uncles and nephews work together and fight to the death, I believe that a miracle will happen." Liu Qi, who was unaware of the impending danger, saw that Liu Bei was silent, thinking that he was moved by his own words, and expressed his determination in a more generous tone.

"Do you only pin your fortune on miracles?" Liu Bei said in a low voice, and the green tendons on the back of his hands suddenly protruded like vines.

Liu Feng knew that Liu Bei's tolerance had reached the limit, and he was going to make a move.

The situation is on the verge of breaking out.

Liu Bei's hand was raised slightly, and there were already signs of dropping the cup. The tightrope that collapsed in Liu Feng's heart seemed to have reached its limit, and it was about to break.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Liu Feng's mind.

"Father, the tea is cold, add some more heat." He suddenly stepped forward, picked up the teapot on the stove, and poured a stream of warm tea into the cup Liu Bei had raised.

A trace of surprise flashed from Liu Bei's eyes, he glanced at Liu Feng, and had to retract the raised hand again.

Liu Feng walked up to Liu Qi with a pot again, and said with a smile while adding tea to him: "Brother, in fact, my father's strategy of killing people with a knife is actually used to kill two birds with one stone. ”

Liu Bei behind him frowned slightly, and a blank look flashed in his eyes. Liu Feng's sudden move disrupted his plan, and the sudden mention of "killing two birds with one stone" made Liu Beihu even more puzzled. Seeing that his adopted son did not act according to the written script, Liu Bei didn't know how to cooperate for a while, so he had to pretend to be ignorant and tasted tea there.

"What kind of plan to kill two birds with one stone, Ah Feng, you can make it clear?" Liu Qi, who didn't know the inside story, showed a strong interest.

The corners of Liu Feng's mouth were slanted, and a scheming smile appeared: "My father teamed up with Jiangdong, but he just wanted to borrow Sun's soldiers to resist Cao Ying. Jiangdong has the advantage of the naval army, Cao Ying's troops are superior, and the two families are bound to be inseparable, even if which one wins, it will be a tragic victory. ”

Swallowing his saliva, he continued: "If Cao Ying wins, then we can rest and take the opportunity to defeat the Cao army, which has been exhausted from the long battle, and go north to recover Jingxiang." And if the Jiangdong army wins, then we will take the lead in counterattacking and crushing the main force of Jiangdong in one fell swoop. At that time, no one in the Han River will be our opponent anymore, whether it is to recover Jingxiang or to fight the Sun clan in the east, we will have the upper hand. This is the real genius of my father's trick of killing people with a knife. ”
