Chapter 191: Acting
Liu Biao sighed, and the chamber fell silent again.
Sending his son to be a hostage, no matter what the reasons are, it is not a taste in the heart of a father.
After all, it was his own child.
Whether the child is good or bad, whether it is filial or unfilial, it will always feel not so good to let a father give away his son.
Liu Biao's face was full of gloom. Not happy.
As the lord of Jingzhou and the imperial uncle of the Han family, he even wanted to use his son as a hostage. Accurate!
Liu Biao looked at Kuai Yue who was bowing down, and said slowly: "I don't know how to act?" ”
Kuai Yue frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, in my opinion, what kind of attitude should be seen by Xiushu and Dong Zhuo first. ”
After saying that, Kuai Yue paused, "If you send a son to Beijing, it is not impossible." ”
Liu Biao looked at Kuai Yue, "If the son is a hostage, then who should be sent to Gu?" ”
Liu Biao's eyes were scorching, and this time his eyes not only swept over Kuai Yue, but also looked at Cai Mao and Kuai Liang on the side.
……
Silent.
The silence was audible as the pins fell, and even the breathing of the people in the chamber was inaudible, and it was clear that no one wanted to answer the question.
Now Liu Biao has three sons, the eldest son Liu Qi, the second son Liu Cong, and Liu Xiu, who has no sense of existence.
The eldest son Liu Qi is quite similar to Liu Biao, and he is humble and filial Liu Biao likes him very much.
The second son, Liu Cong, married the niece of Mrs. Cai, the continuation of Liu Biao, and it can be said that it was part of the marriage between large families.
The three-character Liu Xiu, with the two brothers in front of him, has no sense of existence, and it would be very casual if he was asked to be a hostage.
However, Dong Zhuo must have investigated very clearly, and if Liu Biao's two sons enter Beijing, they will definitely not be the third child who does not exist.
Even if you bargain with him, the ones who go to be hostages must be the eldest Liu Qi and the second Liu Cong.
"Zirou!? In your opinion, if you send your son to Beijing, who should you send? ”
Liu Biao saw that no one accosted him, so he directly asked Kuai Lianglai by name.
Kuai Liang saluted and said: "Back to the lord, this is related to the lord's family affairs, and Liang doesn't dare to say anything." ”
Liu Biao: ......
When I talked about sending my son to Beijing before, I clearly agreed with your appearance, but now I ask which one you send to Chang'an, and you say that this is my family matter?
Liu Biao took a deep breath and suppressed the irritability in his heart.
"Now it's a family affair, but it's also a state affair, Zirou doesn't hurt to talk about it."
Kuai Liang pondered for a moment, "Back to the lord, in the past, it was best to use Qi Gongzi. ”
Liu Qi?
Liu Qi has great hopes for his eldest son Liu Qi, and Liu Qi, as the eldest son, is still very reluctant to enter Beijing as a hostage.
At this time, Cai Mao, who was at the bottom of the head, was secretly happy in his heart, if Liu Qi entered Beijing as a hostage, then Liu Cong would have a lot more opportunities in the future.
Liu Cong and his Cai family are currently in contact with the most, and Cai Mao glanced at Kuai Liang without a trace.
Not bad.
This Kuailiang is really good.
If Liu Qi is kept in Yongzhou as a hostage, it is the best, with the current influence of the Cai family in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao's advanced age, then support Liu Cong as the lord of Jingzhou, then wouldn't the Cai family go further?
For a while, Cai Mao's mind changed rapidly, as if she saw the lofty prospects of the future family.
"Qi'er."
Liu Biao sighed softly when he heard Kuai Liang, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
After half a ring, I only heard Liu Biao say softly: "Today is tired, you should go back to the house to rest." With that, Liu Biao got up, and the maid serving on the side hurriedly helped him up and walked to the inner hall.
"Send the envoy!"
The rest of the people got up and saluted, and sent Liu Biao off, and after Liu Biao left, everyone left the city lord's mansion.

Inner Courtyard
When Liu Biao just returned to the inner courtyard, a woman with a good face and a graceful posture hurriedly came to Liu Biao.
The woman's eyes swept over the maid serving next to her, and the maid hurriedly saluted and retreated.
"Husband, the concubine heard that there was a messenger from the imperial court, saying that she was going to send the two sons to Beijing?"
The woman held Liu Biao's arm, and there was a burst of fragrance on her body, and her glutinous voice couldn't help but make people's whole body soft.
It turned out that this woman was the sister of Cai Mao, Mrs. Cai, who was married to Liu Biao.
Liu Biao patted Mrs. Cai's hand and said with a chuckle: "Your Majesty has some companions around him, and my son is just right, so I sent someone to talk about it." ”
Liu Biao didn't ask Mrs. Cai where the news came from, this woman was married by herself in order to stabilize the heart of the Xiangyang clan, and she must have her own news channels.
It would be strange to say that there is none, but ......
She is indeed a beauty.
Everyone has a love for beauty, not to mention that since he married her, he naturally wanted to hope that she could have a good relationship with the Xiangyang clan.
At this time, Mrs. Cai's pleasant voice came from the side, "Then I don't know who my husband is determined to send?" ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Cai suddenly cried, "It's just that the concubine is useless, and she can't leave a son and a half daughter for her husband, if she can give birth to flesh and blood for her husband, the concubine is willing to take the child as a hostage and not let her husband be separated from her eldest brother and second brother." ”
"Ahhh Liu Biao sighed again and again, "Why do you say this, why do you say this." ”
"No matter who it is, I can't bear it for my husband."
Mrs. Cai hugged Liu Biao and wept, and said in her mouth: "Is that husband going to send the eldest brother or the second brother to Beijing?" ”
"This ......" Liu Biao's face showed hesitation, "This father has not yet made a decision." ”
At this time, Mrs. Cai was quite sensible and said bluntly: "If it really can't be done, why don't you go to Kyoto?" ”
"The concubine heard that Dong Zhuo has three heads and six arms, and he loves cannibalism the most, if the eldest brother and the second brother have a good time entering Beijing, how can it be good?"
Mrs. Cai's pear blossoms were covered with snow, her face was full of tears, and there was a little fear in her eyes.
"Hahahaha." Liu Biao was amused by what his wife said, "If there are three heads and six arms, then Dong Zhuo is just an ordinary person." ”
"What's more, even if it is a hostage to enter Beijing, it must be a delicious and delicious hospitality, and my Han clan relatives will tolerate people to slack?"
"The eldest brother and the second brother are still His Majesty's cousins."
"Madame is too worried, too worried."
Mrs. Cai tried the corner of her eyes, looked at Liu Biao and said softly: "So that's the case, so the concubine body is relieved." ”
"Hmm." Liu Biao nodded, "Then Dong Zhuo is just not worried about being a husband, as long as he is not against his husband, even if my son is in Kyoto, it will be fine." ”
"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Cai nodded lightly, "In this way, the husband is preparing to send his eldest brother to Beijing?" ”
"The eldest brother is old, and he is the eldest son of his husband, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo must belong to him." Mrs. Cai hugged Liu Biao and stuck her head on Liu Biao's chest.
At this time, her eyes were bright, and she didn't have the slightest bit of a little daughter's style, but Liu Biao couldn't see her demeanor at this time.
Liu Biao stroked his back with his hand and sighed lightly: "It's difficult." "I don't know what to do as a husband."
Speaking of this, Liu Biao paused, "What Dong Zhuo means is to let the husband send his second son into the palace to accompany His Majesty." ”
"Alas!!"
Liu Biao let out a long sigh, and if someone looked at his expression, he would find that the corners of his mouth were hooked.
There was half sarcasm, half mockery, and half helplessness in that smile.
