Chapter 147 Arriving in Xiangyang

"The lord is assured that the last general will definitely protect the eldest son." Wang Wei immediately said in a low voice.

"Go and get ready." Liu Watch waved his hand to let Wang Wei retreat.

"No." Wang Wei bowed to Liu Biao and retreated.

Liu Biao looked at the bamboo slips on the table, was silent for a while, threw the bamboo slips into the charcoal stove beside him, clenched his hands and said to himself, "Let you be arrogant for a few more days."

................

In Cai Fu's study, a man in black in his forties was standing in front of Cai Mao. After talking in detail about the assassination, he said, "Lord, although there are not many people to assassinate Liu Qi this time, none of the sixteen black guards sent back, which shows that Liu Qi's strength has been It should not be underestimated. I think that the lord should remove this person as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.

Cai Mao shook her head and said, "No, the assassination of Liu Qi is just to test Liu Biao's reaction. If he really doesn't care about this son, he will kill him. But if he cares about this son, killing Liu Qi will only make Liu Biao step up to deal with us. It's time for Cao Gong to unify the north. We only need to be patient for a while. You can offer Jingzhou as a step to advance, and it will not be difficult to clean up Liu Biao at that time.

"I think the news of Liu Qi's assassination has reached Liu Biao's ears. Liu Biao has summoned Wang Wei. I don't know what the result will be?" The man in black is obviously very familiar with the situation in Xiangyang City, and even Liu Biao knows the specific time of summoning Wang Wei very clearly.

"The assassination will be left to you. If Liu Biao doesn't say anything before Liu Qi goes ashore, the black guard will assassinate Liu Qi to end the future trouble. The black guard has not been out for more than ten years. Don't let me down this time." Cai Mao took a deep look at the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Don't worry, Lord, after this matter, I think many people will think of the Black Guard again. At that time, let's see who else dares to fight against the Lord." The middle-aged man bowed and smiled, full of confidence in the assassination of Liu Qi.

"Okay, if you, as the leader of the Black Guard, can't do this well, I don't think the Black Guard will have the value to exist again." Cai Mao said with a smile.

The middle-aged man's heart was shocked and immediately said solemnly, "Lord, don't worry, Liu Qi can't go back to Xiangyang this time."

"Well, you know, it's fine." Cai Mao waved his hand to signal the man in black to retreat.

"Farewell." The man in black saluted Cai Mao and turned out.

After the man in black left, Cai Mao raised his head and looked out of the door, and his eyes flashed: "The black guard has lacked control over the years. It seems that he has to knock them."

Two days passed quickly, and the news of Liu Qi's assassination did not spread, but some families of the family had already received the news. While secretly sending detectives to inquire about the news, they paid close attention to Liu Biao's reaction.

However, Liu Biao only summoned Wang Wei and did not summon anyone, and Wang Wei has been the same as before since he came back from the state pastoral government.

The family secretly divided the boundary with Liu Qi without care. Rumors of Liu Qi's abandonment have also spread among the family. Some families even forcibly ordered the family not to communicate with Liu Qi, and even several people close to Liu Qi were ignored. The situation in Xiangyang seems to have suddenly become clear, and Liu cong is considered to be the most likely person to inherit Jingzhou.

..............................

"Master, it's almost there." Wang Yi pointed to the road ahead, not far ahead is the Xiangyang Ferry. From so far away, you can already see the swaying figures and noisy shouts on the shore.

"Well, the detective sent out is back?" Liu Qi stood on the deck and looked ahead.

"It has come back. The news of the Lord's return today has not been leaked, and no one came to gather on the ferry, which is beneficial to the Lord's safety." Ganning Road on the other side.

"Oh, what's the news coming from Xiangyang City?" Liu Qi couldn't help but expect something in his voice.

"There was no news in Xiangyang City. That day, General Zhennan summoned General Wang Wei immediately after receiving a letter from the messenger of Song, and then General Wang came out of the state pastoral mansion. I didn't see any action from him. Gan Ning naturally knew the reason why Liu Qi asked this, and he was also a little disgusted with Liu Biao.

"Oh, is there no news?" Liu Qi muttered, and there was also some disappointment on his face. After all, Liu Biao did not make any expression or send someone to comfort him. It seemed that he was about to abandon his eldest son.

"Is there any news from the military division?" Liu Qi shook his head and put it down for the time being. Liu Biao did not care. Cai Mao's assassination would only be more unscrupulous. He had no time to consider Liu Biao's thoughts.

"General Ma has been picked up at the ferry at this time, accompanied by nearly a hundred brocade guards. They have been secretly ambushed near the ferry. Once the master is in any danger, he will appear to help as soon as possible." Gan Ning Road.

"Isn't it much more dangerous for the military division?" Liu Qi turned his head and asked.

"The military division has sent someone to send a letter saying that he has been deployed and he will be fine. Let the lord be careful." Gan Ning Road.

Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go and invite Song's messenger to come, and say that he is about to Xiangyang."

"No." Immediately, two flying tiger guards went to tell them. Soon, Song Zhong, who was in the government, came out surrounded by more than a dozen guards. After the assassination that day, Song Zhong was arranged on the same ship by Liu Qi. During this period, the two talked many times. Liu Qi also admired Song Zhong's talent, and Song Zhong also added a little good impression on Liu Qi.

"Song Zhong saw the eldest son. He came late because he had to bathe and change his clothes. Please forgive me." After saying that, Song Zhong saluted Liu Qi.

"You don't have to be polite. My father sent Song messenger to greet me, but I made Song messenger frighten on the big ship. I have to ask Song to forgive me."

Song Zhong smiled cheerfully and said, "You're welcome. Why don't we both stop talking about what happened that day?"

"According to what the messenger of Song said." Liu Qi nodded and agreed.

"Song Messenger, I waited to come back early and didn't say hello before. Will my father blame me for being rude?" Liu Qi smiled.

"The eldest son laughed, and the eldest son returned. The master was so happy that he didn't have time to blame the eldest son. Besides, the eldest son had no choice but to return early. I think the master would not blame the general even if he knew it." Song Zhong waved his hand.

"How do you think the messenger of Song should enter the city?" Liu Qi asked, Liu Qi has also been thinking about whether to enter the city secretly or to enter the city with great fanfare in the past two days. If he enters the city secretly, it seems that he is a little petty, but if he enters the city with great fanfare, it will expose their goals and make the situation a mess.

Song Zhong was silent for a while and said, "Does the eldest son think he can secretly enter the city at this time?"

"Hmm?" Liu Qi looked at Song Zhong for a while before he suddenly realized that although they accelerated their speed, it was easy for those families to find out their whereabouts. Isn't it just like a clown to secretly enter the city? "Then how do Song messengers think we should enter the city?" Since Song Zhong said so, he already has a way to deal with it.

Song Zhong looked up and said, "If the eldest son doesn't go to the city as usual, he doesn't need to make a big fan or go into the city secretly to hide his deeds."

"In this case, according to what the Song messenger said." Liu Qi figured out the key after a little bit. In this way, entering the city will neither be stingy nor cause chaos, and it is easier to deal with.

"Notice all ships and prepare to land." Liu Qi immediately ordered the soldiers behind him.

"No." More than a dozen flying tiger guards immediately went forward to pass the order. Half an hour later, the soldiers on more than a dozen large ships were ready, and at this time, more than a dozen large ships had also approached Xiangyang Ferry.

More than a dozen large ships formed a series of magnificent momentum. In addition, the ships were heavily guarded, and a kind of majesty was revealed. All the ships near the ferry sailed away to make room for Liu Qi and others.

The Xiangyang ferry was very busy and the terrain was open. Even Liu Qi's ten big ships all docked and did not occupy the ferry. The people on the shore also looked at the more than ten big ships one after another, secretly guessing the identity of the people on the ship.

In the crowd, a young man dressed as a guard squeezed in the crowd and looked up from time to time. He saw Liu Qi's big ship's eyes, and quietly made a gesture to the two hawkers not far away. The two hawkers nodded vaguely, separated, and slowly thinking about the ferry approaching.

The young man is Ma Zhong. When he heard that Liu Qi was about to arrive, Ma Zhong immediately led the brocade guards to pick him up. At this time, nearly a hundred brocade guards had been hidden in the surrounding crowd, occupying various favorable terrain and could respond immediately as soon as there was a change.

In a stone pavilion not far from the ferry, two people in black are tasting tea. One of them is the third leader who went to assassinate Liu Qi a few days ago, and opposite him sits a middle-aged man in his forties. The middle-aged man is white and gentle as if he is a learned man, but also the second leader of the guard in black.

"It seems that Liu Qi is coming." The second leader said restily while drinking tea.

The three leaders on the opposite side also smiled and said, "Yes, Liu Qi hopes to rush back to Xiangyang these two days and nights, but he is here to die. Now hundreds of guards in black have been deployed here. It's more than enough to assassinate Liu Qi. Even if Wang Wei comes to help in person, I'm afraid he can't save him."

"Ha ha ha, I haven't been active for a long time, and I have a lot of weapons in my hand, but I don't need to do it myself to assassinate Liu Qi." The middle-aged man laughed.

"What's the matter with the second brother? It's more than enough to assassinate Liu Qi's younger brother. He must teach him how powerful I am in black, and the second brother is on the side." The three leaders shouted immediately.

"Okay, in this case, I wish the third brother success in advance." The second leader arched his hand to the third leader, with a little joke in his eyes.

Suddenly, the second leader turned his head and said in a low voice, "I'm coming." The three leaders beside him were also shocked.
