Just when Liu Biao was still hesitating, an urgent military situation came, and Lingling, Guiyang and other counties surrendered. Liu Biao fainted on the spot, while the civil and military officials in Jingzhou were in a mess.

Cai Mao found her sister Mrs. Cai, and the two discussed for a long time before Cai Mao left.

Soon after Cai Mao left, Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi also left the Assassin's Mansion in a hurry, without an entourage, and came to Liu Bei's mansion in civilian clothes alone. Liu Bei didn't have any real estate in Jingzhou, but because he served Liu Biao, Liu Biao rewarded him with a mansion. Liu Qi jumped off the horse and stepped forward to identify himself. The door official hurriedly saluted and went in to report, and after a while, Liu Bei and several others personally greeted Liu Qi and welcomed Liu Qi into the gate.

As soon as the two sides entered the hall, Liu Qi suddenly knelt down towards Liu Bei: "Uncle, help!" ”

Liu Bei was taken aback, hurriedly helped Liu Qi up, and asked puzzledly, "What is this good nephew for?" Liu Qi said with tears and fear on his face: "Just now, Cai Mao and Cai's conspired to harm me, so that I can make my brother Liu Cong the lord of Jingzhou!" Looking at Jingzhou, the only one who can save the little nephew is the uncle! Then he kowtowed and said, "I hope that my uncle will save my little nephew's life for the sake of my father." ”

Liu Bei frowned and said: "This, this is Brother Jingsheng's family matter, I am a foreigner, how can I interfere?" ”

Liu Qi was shocked, "If my uncle doesn't save me, my life will be soon!" Then he burst into tears.

Liu Bei felt in a dilemma, and couldn't help but look at the young scribe on the side, who was dressed in a Confucian shirt, with a dignified appearance and an extraordinary temperament. "Yuan Zhi, how is this matter good? What do you mean? "It turns out that the scribe turned out to be Xu Shu! With his help, it's no wonder that Liu Bei's appearance was so eye-catching before.

Xu Shu smiled: "Didn't the lord already say it?" This is a family matter, how can outsiders interfere? ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he became even more desperate and cried even more sadly.

Liu Bei said angrily: "At this time, Yuan Zhi should not laugh, is there any way to come quickly!" Liu Qi hurriedly looked at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu glanced at Liu Qi and asked, "The reason why the Cai sisters and brothers are plotting is that Liu Jingzhou is dying?" ”

Liu Qi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, according to the doctor, my father is already dying!" ”

Xu Shu pondered: "If Liu Jingzhou dies suddenly, in the absence of a will, according to the custom, the eldest son should inherit the family business!" Cai's plan is either to take advantage of Liu Jingzhou's terminal illness to trick him into making a will for Liu Cong to inherit the family business, or to forge a will! ”

Liu Qi hurriedly said: "My father doesn't know anything anymore, how can he make a will?" ”

Xu Shu said: "Then they must be trying to fake the legacy!" Glancing at Liu Bei and Liu Qi, "In this case, I can only make a decision immediately!" ”

Liu Bei asked puzzledly: "How to make a decision immediately?" ”

Xu Shu said categorically: "In the name of visiting Liu Jingzhou, I entered the Assassin's Mansion, captured and killed the Cai sisters and brothers, controlled Jingzhou, and helped Liu Qi Gongzi to be the lord of Jingzhou!" ”

Liu Bei frowned, "This ......" Liu Qi was also a little hesitant, although he hoped to be rescued, but to suddenly take such a drastic action, it made him feel a little overwhelmed!

Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "Now there is only this way!" If Liu Cong succeeds to the throne, Jingzhou will definitely fall into the hands of Yuan Shao or Sun Jian! The main public holiday is unable to keep Jingzhou, so the ideal of Kuang Fu Han can only be the moon in the mirror, which can never be realized! Liu Bei's heart was shocked, and he frowned and said resolutely: "For the sake of the overall situation, I can only be sorry for Brother Jingsheng!" "The lord's words are wrong, only in this way can he be worthy of Liu Jingzhou!" Liu Bei nodded.

Xu Shu carefully instructed Liu Qi, Liu Qi wiped away his tears, hugged his fists and said goodbye to the two, and left in a hurry. Xu Shu and Liu Bei looked at Liu Qi's back as he left in a hurry. Xu Shu turned to Liu Bei and hugged his fists and said, "Lord, please recall Zilong and Yide immediately." Liu Bei nodded and asked, "Do you want to inform Yun Chang about this?" "No! Yun Yuan is in Nanyang, and he can't count on it, so it is very likely that the information will be leaked by sending someone to inform him! Liu Bei nodded thoughtfully.

At the same time, Cai Mao was also preparing in his mansion, and Zhang Yun and hundreds of cronies and soldiers had gathered.

When night fell, a group of heavily armed soldiers suddenly appeared in front of everyone, much to the surprise of the people who had returned late, and then faintly felt that something was wrong.

Hundreds of Cai Mao and Zhang Yunshuai rushed into the Assassin's Mansion, and Cai Mao shouted: "I'm here to protect the lord and eradicate the traitors, don't move!" The guards in the front yard looked at each other and subconsciously lowered their weapons. Cai Mao left Zhang Yun in the front yard to control the situation, and he ran towards the backyard with his people, his target was the small courtyard where Liu Qi lived.

However, to Cai Mao's surprise, when he entered the backyard, he saw that Liu Qi had already led people to set up a posture on the road leading to Liu Biao's bedroom not far away. As soon as Liu Qi saw Cai Mao, he immediately scolded: "Cai Mao, you are an important minister in Jingzhou, and your sister is the young lady of your father, and your father's kindness to you is higher than the sky and thicker than the earth, and your wolf ambition still wants to rebel?" Then he glanced at the soldiers beside Cai Mao and shouted: "You are all soldiers of Jingzhou, do you want to fight against him?" ”

The soldiers looked at each other, at a loss.

Cai Mao was so angry that she shouted, "Don't listen to him, everyone! He is the one who wants to betray the lord and usurp power! Give it to me, the person who captures Liu Qi will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and the official will be promoted to three levels! ”

The eyes of the troops lit up, and they drew their weapons, and they prepared to rush forward. Liu Qi was very nervous here, after all, they were only half of each other.

Cai Mao's men and horses swarmed up. The two sides fought in the backyard, and the soldiers were seen among the flowers and trees, and the sounds of fighting and screams resounded throughout the mansion, and officials and people gathered around the Assassin's Mansion, pointing and worrying. There are few people on Liu Qi's side, and the situation is gradually unfavorable.

At this moment, the people and officials outside saw Liu Bei, who was heavily armed, rushing into the Assassin's Mansion with his subordinates Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, two fierce generals and more than 100 soldiers. An official was overjoyed and said, "Great! That's great! Xuande is here, and he will definitely calm down the situation! What this official said was the effect that Liu Bei wanted to achieve at this moment.

Cai Mao had already gained the complete upper hand, most of Liu Qi's guards had already laid down their weapons, and it was only a matter of time before Liu Qi was captured. Liu Qi fled while fighting, shouting in his heart: Uncle, why don't you come yet! If it's too late, my nephew will die!

Cai Mao took the bow and arrow from the soldier's hand, and bent the bow and arrows at Liu Qi, who was hiding in Tibet due east.

"Rats! Weapons down! A thunderous roar suddenly came from behind. Cai Mao was taken aback, his hand loosened, and the arrow flew out, but he missed his head and nailed it to the pillar.
