The sun is setting, the night will engulf Xiangyang, and the spring breeze is tight.

This night's Xiangyang is destined to have an undercurrent, Liu Bei is probably still thinking about how to buy people's hearts tomorrow, Cai Mao should be plotting an assassination plan.

The people in the house are also busy preparing for the banquet, there are a total of four courtyards here, Liu Biaoju is in the atrium, Liu Qi and Liu Cong are on the left and right, and the backyard is the family and miscellaneous servants and guest rooms.

Liu Fu went to the backyard to quietly invite Liu Pan, who led the troops in Jingnan in the past few years, and confronted Tai Shici, Liu Pan was even more majestic, with a murderous atmosphere.

With him, there was also an old man with gray hair, burly, who was Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong is half of Liu Pan's general, and he is also loyal to Liu Biao, and specially told him to be transferred from Changsha, which is the only available person Liu Qi can think of.

"Da Lang, I heard that Liu Xuande will entertain guests at tomorrow's banquet, are you going to ask him for help?"

Liu Qi sighed in his heart, and everyone wanted to ask for foreign help, but no one believed that he could solve the problem.

"Cai Mao tried to kill Liu Bei several times without success, I think there is a chance that this may be the Hongmen Banquet. Tomorrow when the opportunity arises. If something happens, my brother will protect the adult, and Han Sheng and I will go to save people and get rid of Cai Mao in one fell swoop with the power of Liu Bei. ”

"Brilliant plan!" Liu Pan was overjoyed, and the three of them discussed the plan together.

Before leaving, Liu Qi asked, "Huang Zhonglang is in Changsha, can you know Wei Yan?" ”

Huang Zhongbai frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this person." ”

Liu Qi wondered in his heart, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan should both be under Han Xuan, where did this kid go?

It is said that Wei Yan's brain has a backbone, but Liu Qi disagrees, his strength is no less than that of the Five Tigers, and he is loyal and has made great contributions repeatedly, otherwise Liu Bei would send him to guard Hanzhong?

In the final analysis, it is character that determines fate, Wei Yan offended too many people with his conceit and arrogance, was used by Yang Yi, and died in political struggle.

When he returned to the bedroom and saw the beauty of the frightened white rabbit, Liu Qi forgot about the red-faced man for the time being.

……

Early the next morning, Liu Qi was invited to the mansion by Cai Mao, looking sluggish and pale.

This is also a helpless move, in order not to show flaws, I had to pull Du Linger last night and unlock a few new postures.

A feast had already been set up in the hall, many officials greeted each other, and Liu Bei also arrived outside the mansion after a while.

Everyone has already met yesterday, so there is no need to say more, please go directly to the house.

The horses were led into the back garden, and the guards stayed outside the door, and only Zhao Yun followed into the lobby.

Today, Liu Bei is wearing a red brocade robe, three locks of beard, and his bearing is elegant, and he looks more and more graceful and noble.

Zhao Yun behind him was fully armed, his face was like a crown of jade, his sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, his body was as tall as a gun, and he glanced left and right vigilantly.

Liu Bei entertained Liu Biao today, sitting in the main seat, Liu Qi and Liu Cong sat on the left and right, and Cai Mao and the officials sat in turn.

Before the banquet began, Zhang Yunxian came in to invite Zhao Yun to eat and drink outside the hall, where a seat had already been prepared for him, accompanied by the generals of Xiangyang.

Today's Qingfeng banquet, everyone dressed up to attend, only Zhao Yun was draped beside him, which was indeed a little out of place, Liu Bei also wanted to appear friendly and calm, so he asked Zhao Yun to sit outside.

At the beginning of the banquet, Liu Bei said some scenes as usual, and by the way, he also promoted himself to build momentum, and all the officials stepped forward to toast.

At this time, the two Liu Qi brothers have been completely ignored and have no sense of existence at all.

Liu Qi remained as quiet as usual, just eating vegetables and meat, silently recovering his strength.

But I smiled secretly in my heart: After today, I will become the brightest star in the audience!

After three rounds of drinking, Yi Yuan came in from outside, walked in front of Liu Bei, and took advantage of the toast to make a look, Liu Bei excused himself to go to the toilet and leave the table.

Seeing that Yi Ji also went to the back hall, Liu Qi's heart jumped wildly, and the hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.

Cai Mao had just arranged for the people to come back, but when he saw that Liu Bei was not there, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he asked, "Where did the envoy go?" ”

Liu Cong replied on the side: "Uncle went to the toilet." ”

Cai Mao sighed, sat down slowly, looked in the direction of the back hall from time to time, and the fingers holding the wine glass turned white.

A quarter of an hour later, suddenly a soldier ran out of the back hall and came to Cai Mao's side and said, "The general is not good, Liu Bei has escaped!" ”

"Chase!" Cai Mao's face changed greatly, and she threw down her wine glass and ran out of the back hall.

At this time, there were singing and dancing in the lobby, everyone was drunk, some were busy persuading each other to drink, and some were staring at those dancing girls, and no one noticed the situation here.

Liu Qi patted Liu Cong, who was dazed, and followed him to the back garden, where there were still more than a dozen horses tethered, and sure enough, Lu was no longer there.

Liu Fuzheng was standing under the porch, nodding slightly to him, indicating that everything was going well.

"This Liu Da'er, every time he comes to a critical moment, he always only cares about running away by himself."

Liu Qi was guilty in his heart, and estimated that Cai Mao had chased him out of the city, so he hurriedly ran back and found Zhao Yun at the door.

"General Zhao, my uncle went to the toilet in the backyard just now, but he was nowhere to be seen."

"What?" Zhao Yun was shocked, got up and walked to the door, and sure enough, he saw that the seat was vacant, and Cai Mao was nowhere to be seen.

"General Zhao, Liu Yuanjun must be ......"

"Get out of here!"

Zhang Yun was also about to delay time, but was pushed down the steps by Zhao Yun and smashed on the table below, spilling the soup and wine.

Listening to Zhang Yun's screams, Liu Qi was secretly refreshed, and hurriedly followed Zhao Yun, and said with concern: "General Zhao go and gather the guards, and I will take someone to find it with you." ”

"Thank you, Childe!" Zhao Yun didn't look back, and left in a hurry.

When Liu Qi returned to the mansion, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong had been preparing for a long time, informing them of the changes during the banquet, and the three of them acted according to the plan.

took Huang Zhong and twenty guards out of the city, only to the west gate, saw that Zhao Yun also came with troops, the defenders stepped forward to stop it, Liu Qi drank it back, and went out of the city together.

After walking only two or three miles, suddenly Zhao Yun's horse neighed and fell on the side of the road, and the soldiers were in chaos.

I saw Zhao Yun let out a low shout, jumped up from the horse, supported the ground with a gun, and landed steadily.

Liu Qi asked Lema, "General Zhao, what happened?" ”

"Oh no, the mount has been tampered with." Zhao Yun's face was gloomy, and he was more worried about Liu Bei's horse.

"General Zhao changed horses, I'll go and save people first."

Liu Qi urged the mount violently and went straight forward, he was really anxious, for fear that Cai Mao would miss.

Lu really deserves to be called a BMW, Zhao Yun's white dragon horse can't hold it anymore, it can still run so far.

Turn two mountain beams, hear the sound of waves, Tanxi is in front of you, the river surface is more than ten meters wide, here is just a river bay into the Xiangjiang River, the water potential is turbulent.

Not far away, the shore was dusty, and a group of soldiers were chasing, and just a few feet in front of them, they saw Lu who Liu Bei was riding wandering on the shore.

There was a dense forest cliff in front of him, there was no way out, and there were no boats on the shore.

Seeing that the pursuers were approaching, Liu Bei hurriedly urged the war horse, and Lu's front hooves had already gone down into the water, constantly swinging his head, gouging his hooves, advancing two steps and then retreating violently.

At this time, Cai Mao had already led the soldiers to rush to the front, and directly ordered the soldiers to release arrows, and Liu Bei lifted the horsewhip and beat it hard.

The Law of Sighs –

The roar of a horse with a crack in gold and stone covered the sound of the waves, and Lu jumped up from the water.

From a distance, Lu Zhen is like a dragon soaring into the air, his body is stretched, his ponytail is erected, and he is extremely chic.

"What a horse......" Huang Zhong couldn't help but admire on the horse, and before the words could be spoken, his face suddenly changed greatly: "Huh-"

But the white horse had just jumped up, and suddenly a stream of foam sprang out from under the horse's tail, splattering out like a fountain, and it fell straight down.

Liu Qi finally let out a sigh of relief, and Lu was like a deflated ball, and he fell down after half a halt.

There was a loud pop, the water splashed above the Tan River, and Liu Bei and his horse fell into the river and disappeared.
