"Smack"

Mrs. Cai swept the tea cup on the desk to the ground. The tea cup was torn apart, porcelain pieces were spilled all over the ground, and tea was splashed all over the ground. His face was blue and his eyes were cold.

"Liu Qi is the heir, weakening the Jingxiang clan, Liu Bei really wants to find a way to die?"

The maid who had found the secret words stood by and trembled.

"Ma'am?"

Mrs. Cai took a deep breath and said, "You stand down and receive the reward." ”

"Someone!"

Mrs. Cai motioned to the maid to clean up the debris on the ground and said, "Let Master Cai come here, say that the situation is urgent, come quickly." ”

"No!"

With Mrs. Cai's urgent communication, Cai Mao didn't dare to delay, put down the political affairs in her hand, and hurried to the house to meet with her sister.

When Cai Mao first sat down in the seat, he asked, "Second sister, I don't know if I want to call my brother here, is there something important?" ”

Mrs. Cai sneered and said, "Do you know that your brother-in-law wants to make Liu Qi his heir, look at what you have done!" ”

"What!"

Cai Mao looked shocked and said: "Brother-in-law has always hated Liu Qi, how can he change the direction of the wind and want to make him his heir, could it be that there is a change in it?" ”

After a pause, Cai Mao reacted and said: "But Liu Qi led his troops to conquer Yuzhang, and my brother-in-law appreciated his military exploits, so he wanted to make him his heir." ”

"You know that, too!" Mrs. Cai was not angry and said: "Since Liu Qi returned to Xiangyang, he has served your brother-in-law with benevolence and filial piety, and Liu Bei has touted his military exploits. Your brother-in-law treated him differently, and when he talked to Liu Bei about the position of heir, he wanted to make him his heir. And Liu Bei wants to be the pastor of Yuzhou and the general of Zuo, and Liu Qi is the assassin of Yangzhou. ”

Cai Mao gasped and said, "Liu Bei is so vicious, he actually did this trick. ”

Mrs. Cai's tone was cold, and she said: "The only way to do this is to get rid of Liu Qi in order to keep Cong'er's position." ”

Cai Mao stopped and said, "Second sister, don't get rid of Liu Qi." If Liu Qi is eliminated, I am afraid that our intentions will be exposed. Under the jealousy of my brother-in-law, I am afraid that he will rely more and more on Liu Bei, and it will be difficult for Zhong Huang to ascend to the throne at that time, and he will help his third son Liu Xiu to succeed him, and we will be in a worrying situation. ”

"That'...... What about Idr's opinion? Mrs. Cai asked hesitantly.

Cai Mao stroked his beard and said, "In Mao's opinion, it is better to get rid of Liu Bei, and push his death to the Jiangdong thief, and say that the assassin will kill him." Once Liu Bei died, there was no one to help Liu Qi. Liu Qi did not know military affairs, it was difficult to command the army, if the Jiangdong thieves attacked him, the army would inevitably be defeated, and the defeat would be humiliated. ”

After a pause, Cai Mao said: "Liu Bei's subordinates learned that Liu Bei was dead and had no heirs, so they will disperse in a hurry, and we can send someone to take him in." When Liu Qi is in danger, how can he be the heir; Zhong Huang has our assistance, and he can be an heir! ”

Mrs. Cai groaned a little and said: "Liu Bei will sleep in the east courtyard tonight, but unfortunately the courtyard is guarded by a tiger general Zhao Yun, if someone is sent to assassinate him, it may be difficult to succeed." ”

Cai Mao raised his sword and said, "Sister, don't worry, tomorrow morning I will use Liu Jingzhou's mouth to let Zhao Yun guide my Jingzhou cavalry and lead him away." At that time, Liu Bei had no one on his side, and Mao led my clan to besiege Liu Bei in the hospital. ”

Mrs. Cai also stood up and said, "Remember not to leak the news and be careful." Tomorrow morning, I will take your brother-in-law out of the city to Muchun and cover your ears and eyes. ”

"Good!"

……

The next day, when the sky was hazy, Liu Bei got up from his sleep and began to wash. And Zhao Yun also got up early and escorted Liu Bei with him.

"Zilong!"

Liu Bei washed with cold water and asked, "How is the situation in Xinye?" ”

Zhao Yun stood with his sword in his hand and said, "According to what his subordinates said, the lord and the generals' families are safe and sound. When we set out on the expedition, Liu Jingzhou often sent people to send food and clothing, as well as money and food, and there was no shortage of living things. ”

Liu Bei wiped his face with a towel and said with emotion: "Although Brother Jingsheng is scheming, he is also a kind person. ”

"My lord, Liu Jingzhou sent people here, and I heard that General Zhao was brave and powerful, and he shocked the enemy. I don't know if I can temporarily borrow General Zhao from the lord and ride for half a day, and enter the camp to instruct the cavalry riders. The attendant led the officer in, and said.

"My lord?" Zhao Yun looked at Liu Bei and said, "If Yun goes to the barracks, there will be no one to protect the lord. ”

Liu Bei saw that Zhao Yun didn't want to go, waved his hand, and said, "I've been in Xiangyang for a long time, and I've never seen an assassin. Liu Jingzhou waited for me a lot, and Zilong led the brave cavalry into the camp to give the cavalry some guidance. ”

"No!" Zhao Yun arched his hand and said: "Please be careful, the cloud will go back when you go." ”

"Good!"

Zhao Yun stroked his sword and left the hospital, turned over his horse, took the lance, and walked away with the brave seven or eight horsemen.

As soon as Zhao Yun left, someone informed Cai Mao who was hiding on the periphery.

"The head of the family, there are less than ten people in Liu Bei's courtyard, and they can do it!"

"Good!" Cai Mao waved his hand and commanded: "Assemble the fate of the tribe, besiege and kill Liu Bei, and don't let him escape." ”

"No!"

Under Cai Mao's order, the tribes hidden in the streets and alleys came out one after another, gathering towards the courtyard where Liu Bei was, murderous, with swords and crossbows.

At this time, Sima Hui, who was passing by 'accidentally', saw such a scene, and hurriedly broke into Liu Bei's courtyard through the side door, wanting to report the news.

"Xuande Gong, let's go!"

Sima Hui, who was on crutches, trotted into the courtyard, panting and shouting, "Go quickly, don't stay." ”

Liu Bei, who was practicing swordsmanship, saw the panicked Sima Hui and said, "Why is Mr. so panicked? ”

"Xuande Gong, I don't know!" Sima Hui calmed his breath and said, "Cai Mao deliberately tunes General Long away, and is now gathering Cai's troops to besiege and kill the general. ”

"What!" Liu Bei exclaimed.

Sima Hui held Liu Bei's hand and said anxiously: "Xuande Gong, Liu Jingzhou doesn't know about this matter, please go to the west of the city quickly to avoid Cai Mao's siege." ”

After a pause, Sima Hui said: "Please don't say the name of Hui after Duke Xuande returns to the city, otherwise the Cai family will know, and Hui's life will not survive!" ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Liu Bei quickly left, and let his cavalry disperse on their own, reducing the probability of being discovered by Cai Mao. When Cai Mao broke into the courtyard, there were still Liu Bei and others.

Cai Mao was furious, kicked over the case, and said, "Quickly search for Liu Bei's traces!" ”

"No!"

After searching for a while, he accepted the proclamation and said, "The head of the Qiqi family, Liu Bei went out of the west of the city on horseback." ”

"Good!" Cai Mao was overjoyed and said: "There is a Tan River in the west of the city, which is several zhang wide and wide, and Liu Bei is looking for a dead end!" ”

Cai Mao led the cavalry out of the city again, chasing along the horseshoe prints left by Liu Bei. Along the way, Liu Bei rode his horse and whipped him, even if a friend called his name, he didn't dare to stop, remembered Sima Hui's words, and went straight to the west of the city.

"Royal!"

Liu Bei saw the wide Tanxi River from a distance, the water was turbulent and unfathomable, so he stopped his horse. However, seeing the smoke and dust billowing behind him, it seemed that there were pursuers chasing after him, Liu Bei secretly complained in his heart.

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Liu Bei looked up to the sky and sighed sadly: "If the ambition is not realized, it is impossible to die!" ”

Suddenly, a bamboo raft was propped up on the vast Tanxi River, and he shouted loudly: "Is it Liu Yuanjun?" ”

When Liu Bei heard the prestige, he was overjoyed when he saw a bamboo raft coming, and replied: "It's Liu Bei, I don't know if I can let Bei get on the boat to cross Tanxi." ”

"Why not!"

The young man in the hat held a bamboo pole close to the shore. Liu Bei didn't care about his clothes getting wet, led the horse straight down the stream, and then boarded the bamboo raft with the help of the boatman.

Not long after getting on the bamboo raft offshore, Cai Mao rode over, saw Liu Bei who was far away, and shouted: "Mao was ordered by Liu Jingzhou to summon you to the banquet." Where is this going? ”

Liu Bei shook off his wet clothes and said coldly: "Thank you Liu Jingzhou for your kindness, prepare to take a raft to visit Tanxi, and you can't go to the banquet for the time being!" ”

"What a pity!"

Liu Bei looked at Cai Mao, who was pretending to be on the shore, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he already had the idea of killing him.

After the ghost gate was closed and walked around, Liu Bei came to his senses, bowed to the boatman, and asked, "General Hanzuo and Yuzhou Mu Liu Bei, thank you for saving your life." I don't know if Mr. can tell me the name below, and I will report it later. ”

"I've seen the envoy!"

The boatman showed his young face and said softly: "In Xia Nailong, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Kongming is also!" ”
