Liu Qi didn't want to compete with Liu Cong for anything, but Liu Cong got Cai's support, and Liu Biao's former ministry also fell to the other party under Cai Mao's persuasion.

The last time Liu Qi left Jiangxia, it was to fulfill his filial piety and serve his father, who had fallen ill on the bed, but he was driven out of the state pastoral mansion by Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others under the banner that the general was not allowed to leave the station without an order, and now he returned for the second time, and the situation he faced was even more dangerous than the first time.

Sitting in a corner, Liu Qi's face was gloomy.

As the eldest son of Liu Biao, he was even deprived of his qualifications to enter the government.

Fortunately, he does not have no eyes and ears in Xiangyang, Liu Qi, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others have lobbied several big families, and the news of his ascension to the throne is not a secret.

"Zhang's...."

Thinking of that woman, Liu Qi gritted his teeth and couldn't hide the murderous intent in his heart, if it wasn't for Liu Biao Xuxian marrying this woman back then, with his status in Liu Biao's mind, how could today's situation happen.

As the eldest son, everything after Liu Biao's death should have been inherited by him, Liu Cong didn't have to rely on him if he wanted to live a better life, if it weren't for the Zhang family being evil to him, and the pillow wind kept blowing in Liu Biao's ears, would he be like today, basking in the scorching sun outside the state pastoral mansion.

"The Great Prince"

The light footsteps approached Liu Qi silently, and it wasn't until the voice sounded that Liu Qi saw the man who was already standing two steps away from him.

This is an extremely ugly middle-aged man, dressed in a black cloth coat, with yellow hair, and a huge pustule on the right cheek, dark green, which can be seen at a glance. Very disgusting.

Liu Qi raised his head. But there was not a hint of horror. Just glanced at the other party, and said softly: "What?" Did you find any important news? ”

Chen Yi, who has been by Liu Qi's side for almost twenty years, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "The situation is a little bad, Liu Cong, with the support of Cai Mao, has had a lot of contact with various families, and now more than half of the people who openly support him to ascend to the throne have been openly expressed." ”

When Liu Qi heard this, a trace of bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he sighed: "There is Cai Mao and the Cai family behind him waving their flags and shouting. The second brother of this son, how can I still contend with it. ”

When Chen Yi heard this, he sighed lightly, he was the brother of Liu Qi's biological mother Chen, and he was a member of the Chen clan who stayed to assist Liu Qi before Chen's death. Liu Qi is not without a turnaround.

"Childe, don't be so pessimistic, now the lord has just left. People's hearts are unstable, even if the Cai family wants to support Liu Cong to the throne, it will take a process, and this excessive period gives us room to turn around, depending on whether the son can catch it. Chen Yi said in a low voice.

"Uncle Chen taught me"

Liu Qi is like a drowning person who has fallen into the river, he finally grabbed a life-saving straw, and jumped up eagerly to live, at this time, as long as he can survive, he will not miss any opportunity.

Chen Yi saw this, sighed in his heart, compared to Liu Biao, Liu Qi is indeed too different, think about Liu Biao into Jingzhou for so many years, than Liu Qi encountered the danger of seeing countless times, many years ago in Jingzhou, thieves were rampant, each according to the militia and hegemony in the local area, when Liu Biao first arrived in Jingzhou, no one in his hands and no money, the situation was countless times worse than Liu Qi, at that time Chen Yi was just a young man in his twenties, accompanied by Liu Biao, personally carried the knife into battle, and protected Liu Biao all the way to cut through thorns, which is the foundation of Jingzhou.

It's just that with the passing of Liu Biao, Jingzhou no longer has a qualified heir, and it is a little difficult to defend Chengdu, let alone open up.

Chen Yi was unknown under Liu Biao, but he was one of Liu Qi's relatives before the death of his biological mother, so many years, Cai He never thought that the director had an accident to kill Liu Qi, but Chen Yi easily cracked it, although this person is a little ugly, but his ability has nothing to say.

Chen Yi's thoughts were also at that moment, since he promised the Chen family to protect Liu Qi's safety twenty years ago, even if he died, he would do his best, and now that Liu Qi was in trouble, Chen Yi naturally would not stand idly by.

"Childe, we can't delay any longer, we must sneak back to Jiangxia."

Chen Yi said in a deep voice: "At present, Xiangyang is in crisis, with a sigh here, it is better to get out and go back to Jiangxia, and drag the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses tightly in your hands. ”

A few days ago, his heart was like a demon, and he had been worrying about how to protect himself in the hands of Liu Cong and Cai, but he completely ignored that he still had a powerful force in his hands, Jiangxia is not an ordinary small county in Jingzhou, as the front line of the fight against the Sun family, Jiangxia County has a large number of elites, it is a real elite, when Liu Biao set up the state in Xiangyang in order to resist the northern princes, he did not pay less attention to Jiangxia County at all, On the contrary, a large number of human and financial resources are increasing year by year, especially after Sun leveled Jiangdong, hundreds of battles between the two families, each time occurred in Jiangxia County, therefore, when Liu Biao was alive, he first sent Huang Zu to resist Sun Dajun, and then Huang Zu died in Bingzhou, Liu Qi in order to save his life, under the advice of Zhuge Liang, asked to go out of Jiangxia, and was able to successfully become the chief general of tens of thousands of Jiangxia defenders, and this critical juncture of life is not guaranteed, but it has become a decisive force to save the defeat.

Although Liu Qi is not as good as his father Liu Biao, he was not indecisive at the moment of crisis, and at that moment, he had already made a decision.

"Sneak back to Jiangxia"

This is Liu Qi's decision, although he can't control all the tens of thousands of garrisons in Jiangxia County, but if it is really about his own life, Liu Qi will definitely use the most effective method at the lowest cost to make the tens of thousands of elites completely become his own private army, people are forced out, just like Liu Qi now, his temperament is somewhat similar to Liu Zhang, his temperament is mild, and he often rises up when the fire burns his buttocks, this kind of temperament is destined to make them unable to achieve great things, but at the critical moment, it is no problem to save himself.

"Childe, you go to the west of the city to find a place to stay first, there are really a lot of people staring at you and me at the moment, if you want to get out, you still need to take advantage of the night, and your subordinates will first get rid of those annoying dog legs." Chen Yi's eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Hmm"

Liu Qi did not refuse Chen Yi's kindness, but he still spoke: "Uncle Chen, I have always known your martial arts, but if you can't do anything, you should save yourself." ”

As soon as Chen heard this, the pustule on his right cheek shook slightly, and he arched his hand towards Liu Qi, and the trace of emotion in his eyes was not concealed.

"Childe, don't worry about leaving, Chen Yi will be there later."

This was the last sentence that Chen Yi had ever said to Liu Qi before turning around, and after that, there was a sharp ring-headed knife in his hand, and the blade had a few plum blossom-like red spots, obviously, this was a murderous knife that drank too much blood and couldn't wipe it off.

Seeing Chen Yi turn around and leave, Liu Qi's heart was a little settled, maybe Chen Yi couldn't block thousands of troops for him, but at least it was okay to clean up some people's eyes and ears, at least in this regard, Liu Qi, who grew up under Chen Yi's protection since childhood, was more confident than anyone else.

Exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, Liu Qi's eyes were much more resolute, at least, not as decadent as before, with a goal, he had the courage to go on, and now leaving Xiangyang and returning to Jiangxia is his goal.

After a glance at the state pastor that was still standing, Liu Qi's eyes were full of determination, since the person inside could be unkind and unjust to him, then he didn't have to care about brotherhood, under the huge interests of fighting for inheritance, family affection was as thin as the gauze on the Qinglou woman.

Just when Liu Qi turned around and left to take the first step, it seemed that there were more than a dozen terrible screams in his ears, Chen Yi had already started, and the speed of Liu Qi's steps was also slightly increased, Chen Yi took a huge risk to create a chance for him to leave, and all he could do was to identify the direction of the west of the city, listen to Chen Yi's words, find a place to hide, and welcome the arrival of night.

Dozens of eyes and ears who were good at monitoring and inquiring about news were killed, and the news had already reached all the prefectures in the city in just a few quarters of an hour.

"Not good"

Cai Mao, who was dressed in brocade, stood up, and her face changed greatly: "Liu Qi'er wants to go back to Jiangxia"

Worthy of being the leader of the Cai family, Cai Mao was only a short doubt, and within a moment, he guessed Liu Qi's purpose.

And when Cai Mao teamed up with the major clans in Xiangyang to start searching for Liu Qi's traces, Liu Qi, who was about to leave at night, had successfully escaped from Xiangyang and headed towards Jiangxia under the protection of Chen Yi and more than a dozen loyal subordinates.
