Liu Qi suddenly said such words, Liu Bei couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Why did the virtuous nephew say this!" Uncle only hopes that you will recover soon, and how can he miss him. ”

Liu Qi said flatly: "Qi is already a dying person, and there are no outsiders here, at this time, my uncle doesn't have to hide it anymore, why not say a few words to Qi." ”

Liu Bei's expression froze, he was silent for a long time, shook his head and sighed, but he didn't say anything, because he didn't want to say it, or because he didn't know what to say.

Liu Qi also sighed and said: "Uncle, I know that you are the dragon among people, in fact, you have coveted Jingzhou for a long time, I am afraid that eight years ago, since you came to Jingzhou, you have always wanted to swallow this bit of my father's inheritance." ”

Liu Bei's face changed: "Virtuous nephew, I-"

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Liu Qi shaking his hand, this terminally ill young man, although his words were straightforward, his expression was as calm as a smile, without the slightest resentment.

"Uncle listened to what I said, in fact, in such a troubled world, it is normal for you to have such thoughts. Besides, although my uncle has this intention, but for so many years, even when my father died and Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Ying, he had never done anything unrighteous to our family. Therefore, I have never had the slightest resentment towards my uncle, even though he has now installed so many people around me and usurped the only remaining territory in my hands, ahem-a-"

Liu Qi was already angry, and after saying such a big thing at this time, he exhausted the little vitality he had left, and he couldn't bear it at this time, so he coughed wildly.

Liu Bei hurriedly stroked his back, and comforted: "Virtuous nephew, don't say a few words, you understand what you mean in your heart." ”

Liu Qi coughed and wheezed for a while, and almost swallowed this breath, but finally eased up a little, but shook his head and said: "I don't have much time, some words are not finished, and Qi will not be blinded!" ”

For a dying person, what else can Liu Bei say, he can only listen silently.

Liu Qi continued: "Uncle is my Liu bloodline, and heroic, after my death, my uncle can lead Jingzhou herd, my little territory and people, my uncle can take it, with my uncle's ability, recapture Jingzhou, and Cao Sun to compete for the world is not a problem." What Qi asks for is only that if his uncle can sweep away Cao Ying in the future, he will ask Qi to slash Liu Cong, a rebel, with the hatred in my heart, if so, then Qi will know underground, and he should sincerely bless his uncle to achieve great things. ”

Liu Qi was sick like this, and when he was dying, he still remembered to kill Liu Cong's younger brother, it seems that he has indeed suffered a lot of anger over the years.

These dying instructions, Liu Bei promised not, did not agree, and did not know how to deal with it for a while.

At this time, Liu Qi suddenly coughed again, coughing hoarsely, and his body twitched violently, he grabbed Liu Bei's hand violently, stared at Dou Da Dou Da, and pleaded with difficulty: "Uncle...... Promise me...... Promise me ......"

Seeing Liu Qi in such pain, Liu Bei couldn't bear it, and his compassion was great for a while, and he hesitated for a moment, but nodded slightly.

Liu Qi saw that Liu Bei responded, his wish had been fulfilled, and the last trace of faith in survival was gone, and his body stood up a few times, so he swallowed his breath.

Outside the door, many people were also anxiously waiting, and they hadn't seen Liu Bei come out for a long time, and everyone didn't know what else the uncle and nephew could say. In fact, most people's hearts are looking forward to Liu Qi's early death.

After a long time, the door creaked open, and Liu Bei walked out with a sad face.

Guan Yu was the first to ask, "Brother, what's wrong with the eldest prince?" ”

Liu Bei shook his head and sighed, "The eldest prince is ...... Went to ......"

The moment they heard the news of Liu Qi's death, a trace of excitement flashed on everyone's faces, but soon they were replaced by a look of sadness, some sighed, and some sighed that Liu Qi was a good person, and it was a pity to die so young.

Guan Yu didn't have so many complicated expressions, his face was still as calm as still water, and he comforted Liu Bei very calmly: "People can't be resurrected after death, and my brother should mourn." Now that the eldest prince has gone, the cities of Jiangxia and their old departments are waiting for their elder brother to preside over the overall situation. ”

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and ordered: "Now that Nanjun has not yet arrived, it is inevitable that people's hearts will be unstable, so we will not mourn for the eldest prince first." Yun Chang, you quickly and secretly deploy troops to guard all important places in Jiangxia, especially to strengthen patrols on the Xiakou River, in case there is any change in Cheng Pu's headquarters on the south bank. As for the Cao army in the upper reaches of the Han River, we must also strengthen vigilance and ensure that we take over Jiangxia smoothly. ”

"Brother, don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

――――――――――――

Not long after Liu Qi hung up here, Zhou Yu was still dragging his sick body back to Nanjun, and when he arrived at Baqiu, his condition aggravated sharply, and he could no longer bear the bumps on the river, so he had to temporarily stay in Baqiu to recuperate.

When the news of Zhou Yu's aggravation came back to Chaisang, Xiao Qiao was greatly alarmed when she heard it, and thinking about her husband's safety, she rushed from Chaisang to Baqiu to take care of him in the starry night.

When the boat arrived at Baqiu, it was almost evening, and Xiao Qiao didn't even dare to breathe more, so he went straight to Zhou Yu's big tent when he got ashore.

Before he entered the account, he heard Zhou Yu's cough from afar, and Xiao Qiao's heart became more and more anxious, so he didn't care about the demeanor of the Grand Duke's wife, lifted the corner of his skirt and rushed into the account.

The moment she lifted the curtain, Xiao Qiao's heart was almost broken, because the husband she saw was no longer the elegant and elegant Jiangdong Mei Zhoulang in the past.

When he married him, he had seen him like this, and Xiao Qiao's heart could not hurt.

She wanted to cry, but she swallowed back her tears, tried her best to maintain a calm demeanor, stepped forward, and said softly: "Husband, how are you, have you seen the doctor?" ”

Zhou Yu saw that it was Mrs. who came, a smile appeared on his haggard face, he stretched out his hand, took Xiao Qiao's hand, and pulled her to sit on the edge of the couch.

Zhou Yu didn't answer her question, but looked at her affectionately for a long time, and then smiled: "Madam, why are you here?" ”

Xiao Qiao Yiqiang smiled, caressed his face, and said softly: "I heard that you were sick, and I couldn't rest assured, so I rushed to take care of you." Husband, didn't you say in your letter a few times ago that you only suffered some arrow wounds, how did it take only a few months to become the same? ”

When Xiao Qiao asked, Zhou Yu looked up and sighed, and said, "Yes, things are so unpredictable, and people's hearts are not the same." ”

Xiao Qiao could hear that her husband's words of emotion were in his words, so he asked tentatively: "Is it because of Wu Hou's loan of Nanjun to Liu Bei?" ”

Zhou Yu was stunned at first, but then held Xiao Qiao's hand tighter, and said with a wry smile: "Those who know me are as good as Mrs. It's not that I'm narrow-minded, it's that they deceive people too much, Wu Hou is suspicious of me, Zhang Zhao and others are running on me behind my back, and even Lu Zijing has turned his back on me, hateful, really hateful. ”

Xiao Qiao was also taken aback, and said in confusion: "Zijing and her husband are close friends, how can he betray his husband, this is too hateful." ”

After Zhou Yu vented his resentment, the resentment in his chest decreased slightly, and his spirit calmed down a lot, but he shook his head and sighed, and said helplessly: "I have thought about it for a long time, in fact, Zijing did this, most of them have their own difficulties." ”
