Chapter 1524: Mrs. Cai
Sitting at the table, sipping the tea in the cup, Liu Biao no longer remembered how many times the maid on the side added water to him.
He drank the tea in his mouth, and he didn't taste anything, just like drinking plain water.
"Husband!" was drinking the tea in the cup, and Liu Biao heard a soft call from outside the door.
This soft voice is soft and gentle, but in Liu Biao's ears, it makes him annoying!
It was none other than his wife, Cai.
Hearing Cai's voice, Liu Biao frowned, did not turn his head to look at her who had already entered the house, and asked lightly: "It's getting late, what are you doing here?" ”
When questioning, Liu Biao's tone was very bad, but Cai didn't think it was angry at all, entered the house, and waved his hand at the maid standing behind Liu Biao.
The maid saluted her and exited the room, while Cai knelt beside Liu Biao and poured him tea with her own hands.
"It's getting late, why hasn't my husband rested yet?" Pouring tea for Liu Biao, Cai asked him softly.
"How can I sleep peacefully when I am bored?" Frowning, Liu Biao replied to Cai's angrily.
Liu Biao's tone was not good, but Cai Shi didn't seem to notice it at all, and still maintained a sweet smile on his face.
"Why is the husband bored, you might as well say that you are a wife, although you can't share your worries for your husband, you can also listen to it!" With a sweet smile on his face all the time, Cai's tone of voice was much softer than before.
Liu Biao finally turned his head to look at her, but the expression on his face was not happy, but with a sneer, he said to Cai's family: "You came to find so-and-so, and I think it's for that matter!" ”
"What is the husband talking about?" Tilting his head to look at Liu Biao, Cai pretended not to understand what he was talking about, and asked him softly.
"The matter of Liu Cong and Liu Qi!" The reason why she refused to go to Cai's room at night was that Liu Biao didn't want to listen to her talk about Liu Qi and Liu Cong, but she didn't give up, so she chased here, and said in an unhappy tone: "It's best not to mention this matter, someone has his own plans in his heart!" ”
Liu Biao's wife, Cai, is much younger than him, and now she is only less than forty years old.
Due to proper maintenance, Cai's appearance does not look old, except for some crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, she is more like a young woman in her early thirties.
Hearing the unhappiness in Liu Biao's tone, Cai said with a flattering smile: "In the eyes of the husband, being a wife is so unbearable, except for this matter, is there nothing else to discuss with the husband?" ”
"What can you talk to about something?" Cai did not admit that she came to Liu Biao for Liu Qi and Liu Cong's affairs, Liu Biao's brows widened, and his tone softened a lot.
Seeing that Liu Biao's tone was much better, Cai said to him: "Husband, I told my husband earlier that Liu Bei is not a good person and should be killed, but my husband just didn't listen, and now that he is causing trouble, don't you still refuse to listen to your wife?" ”
Liu Bei took refuge in Liu Biao, and the Cai family also heard a lot of bad words about Liu Bei from Cai Mao, and it was indeed mentioned on Liu Biao.
It's just that Liu Biao trusted Liu Bei extremely much at that time, and didn't pay attention to what Cai's said.
Now that I think about it, there is some truth in what Cai said!
Turning his head to look at her, Liu Biao's tone was a little more relaxed, and he asked her: "Say, what do you want to say to your husband this time!" ”
"Husband, Liu Bei should be punished, but has the husband ever thought that once Liu Bei is killed, this Jingzhou will become a springboard for the imperial army to go south, how can the imperial court not take Jingzhou?" Liu Biao allowed her to continue, Cai's heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "Now that His Majesty has allowed her husband to do this Jingzhou assassin history, once your husband returns to heaven, what will happen to Jingzhou?" ”
As soon as Cai's words came to this, Liu Biao immediately understood.
She went around and around, just trying to lead the topic to Liu Qi and Liu Cong.
With his brows tightly locked, Liu Biao said to Cai: "What you say, my father knows everything, and my husband will think about it carefully, so you can go." Women's families, don't have to do so much government work! ”
Liu Biao gave the order to evict the guest, and Cai stood up, saluted him, and exited the room.
Seeing her walk out of the door, Liu Biao let out a long sigh.
As a pastor of Jingzhou, he governed Jingzhou in an orderly manner, and fought against the Jiangdong Sun clan for many years, and Jingzhou was also strong.
If it weren't for Liu Wei's sudden rise to strength, an invincible army had been trained over the years, and with Jingzhou's military strength, there should not be much problem standing for many years at this time.
Now the declining Han court has regained its strength, and 30,000 Han troops have entered the boundary of Jingzhou.
Although the Han army did not attack Jingzhou, they were a threat to Liu Biao after all in Jingzhou.
Fortunately, the imperial court sent Cheng Yu to inform Liu Biao that after defeating Liu Bei, the imperial court would entitle him as the assassin of Jingzhou.
If Liu Wei is true to his words, Jingzhou is still the boundary of Liu Biao's sect after all.
It's just that his two sons are really not very worry-free.
The eldest son, Liu Qi, is very similar to Liu Biao in appearance, and his temperament is almost the same as him.
For Liu Qi, Liu Biao has always been very happy, and he also thought about handing over Jingzhou to him after he died.
But after Mrs. Cai gave birth to Liu Cong, at a young age, Liu Cong married Mrs. Cai's niece.
Not only did Mrs. Cai place great hopes on this son, but even Cai Mao and the entire Cai family hoped that Liu Biao would hand over Jingzhou to Liu Cong.
The Cai family is a big family in Jingzhou.
Their support is extremely important to Liu Biao!
Willing to hand over Jingzhou to Liu Qi, but unwilling to offend the Cai family, Liu Biao also fell into a dilemma for a while.
The old sorrows have not gone, and the new sorrows have come again, Liu Biao let out a long sigh, stood up and walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, and looked out of the dark window, with a lonely face on his face.
Leaving Liu Biao's bedroom, Cai's heart was full of joy.
In the past, when Liu Biao mentioned Liu Cong and Liu Qi to Liu Biao, Liu Biao would scold her.
Although she knew that her husband just opened his mouth to scold her, and did not dare to do anything to her, every time he talked about it with Liu Biao, Cai's heart would be bored.
Seeing Liu Biao today, although he didn't say it clearly, Liu Biao had already understood his intentions and said something that could be thought-provoking.
With Liu Biao's words, Cai felt that it was not completely impossible for Liu Cong to take over Jingzhou.
With two maids, he walked all the way out of the residence, and when he reached the door of the residence, a maid ran in front of him.
The maid trotted all the way to Cai's approach before saluting her.
"Why are you so flustered?" After looking at the maid, Cai's face showed a little unhappiness and asked her.
"Mrs. Hui, General Cai asked to see him, and he is waiting in the room at this time!" With her hands folded in front of her, the maid leaned over and replied with apprehension in her expression.
Hearing that it was Cai Mao who asked to see him, the expression on Cai's face looked better, waved his hand at the maid, and said to her: "Go and tell the general, I will go back!" ”
"No!" The maid replied and saluted Cai again, before taking two steps back and turning to leave.
Cai Mao asked to see Cai, and she always didn't ask the time.
Since they planned to support Liu Cong, Cai and Cai Mao have seen each other more often than before.
Liu Biao also knew about these things, but he didn't want to pay attention to them, so he let them discuss them secretly.
Accompanied by the two maids, Cai's speed quickened a little and he walked towards her bedroom.
At the door of the bedroom, a maid stepped forward and pushed the door open.
As soon as the door opened, Cai saw that Cai Mao was already sitting inside.
Seeing Cai's return, Cai Mao hurriedly stood up, bowed to her with his fists in his fists, and said, "The last general has seen Madame!" ”
"That's it!" Waving his hand at Cai Mao, Cai said to him: "You and I are not outsiders, so there is no need to be so polite!" ”
As he spoke, Cai raised his feet and entered the house.
The two maids who followed her, knowing that she had something important to discuss with Cai Mao, closed the door from the outside.
Glancing back at the closed door, Cai asked Cai Mao, "Why did you see me at night?" ”
"Madame!" Clenched his fists and bowed again, and Cai Mao whispered: "I wonder if Mrs. has heard that Cheng Yu came to Jingzhou?" ”
Looking at Cai Mao, Cai nodded and said, "I've heard about it, what does it have to do with you coming here?" ”
Putting down the fists he had picked up, Cai Mao moved closer to Cai's family, lowered his voice and said to her: "Cheng Yu brought the will of His Majesty today, if Liu Bei is defeated, Jingsheng Gong will still do this Jingzhou assassination history!" ”
"That's a good thing, isn't there something wrong?" I have learned the news of Cheng Yu's coming to Jingzhou from others, Cai just doesn't know the details, and when Cai Mao said these words mysteriously, Cai asked him with a puzzled face.
"This matter is very good, Jingzhou has been justified since then!" Cheng Yu came to Jingzhou, obviously making Cai Mao very excited, and he whispered to Cai: "I came here this time, just to ask my wife to urge Jing Shenggong more, Liu Cong to take over the matter of assassination, and must not be delayed for too long!" ”
"Recently, Jingsheng has risen to the top, it's really not as good as in the past!" Sighing lightly, Cai nodded and said, "I'm also worried that if he leaves one day, Liu Qi will occupy this Jingzhou in the name of his eldest son, and I won't be happy!" ”
"That's why I came here!" Glancing back at the door, Cai Mao whispered to Cai: "If Jingsheng Gong still refuses to hand over Jingzhou to Liu Cong, I can't wait, I have to use some methods!" ”
"You mean ......?" When Cai Mao said this, Cai was stunned for a moment, looked at him with a stunned face, and only asked half a sentence, and then didn't ask any more.
From Cai Mao's mysterious look, Cai seemed to see something.
It's just that she didn't dare to say what came to her mind.
If what Cai Mao wants to say is the same as what she thinks in her heart, she really doesn't know how to choose.
In any case, Liu Biao is her husband after all!
