Chapter 18 Killing with a knife

Thank you for the reward of Brother Guan Sheng.

————————

Liu Qi's expression was determined, as if there was no room for discussion at all.

The motion was strongly rejected by Liu Qi. Liu Beiping's expression did not change because of this. He even narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared. The meaning of the smile was like an adult's disapproval after listening to the child's ridiculous words.

However, while he was calm, he reached out and picked up the teacup and sent it to his mouth calmly. Liu Bei, standing behind him, could clearly see the blue veins on the back of Liu Bei's hand surging faintly. There was no doubt that it was hidden in anger.

According to the prior agreement, Liu Bei will take the wrestling cup as the number, secretly order himself to make trouble, and capture Liu Qi in one fell swoop. In the atmosphere in front of him, Liu Bei's move is tantamount to a dangerous signal that he is about to make trouble.

Liu Feng's heart suddenly raised his throat, clenched his fists secretly, and his palms were faintly sweaty.

He couldn't help but come to his mind. He did it himself and captured the benefactor who had blocked an arrow for himself, and Liu Qi would look at him with shocked and angry eyes.

Liu Feng really didn't want to see this scene. Even in order to survive, revenge never conforms to his principles.

However, Liu Feng's worry was a little superfluous. Liu Bei obviously did not intend to do it immediately. He just drank a sip of tea to cover up the embarrassment of being rejected by Liu Qi.

After putting down the cup, Liu Bei asked with a smile, "My nephew, can you tell your uncle the reason for your objection?"

"My uncle has lived in Jingzhou for a long time. He should know that Jiangdong and my Jingzhou are feud. In those years, Sun Jian did not think about it. As a result, he died under the arrows of our army. For more than ten years, Sun Ce and Sun Quan have been fighting Jingzhou in the name of his father's revenge, and even Huang Xiaoxian was killed by them. With such a feud, how can we join hands with it!"

Liu Qi's words were furious, as if he was full of resentment when he mentioned Jiangdong Sun.

Liu Bei patiently listened to Liu Qi's complaint, and his beard drooped slightly, showing a little sigh: "How could my uncle know the enmity between Liu Sun's two families? However, the virtuous nephew should also understand that there are priorities. At present, our most important responsibility is to survive and take back Jing Xiang's foundation. Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the spirit of Jing Sheng in heaven? For this burden, should we put down the past hatred for the time being?

When Liu Bei said this, Liu Feng couldn't help nodding secretly: His words were really clever. He moved out Liu Biao to suppress Liu Qi, and cleverly transformed him into a duty of filial piety for his father. Well, this step is well built, Zide, just follow the ladder down.

Liu Qi's angry expression eased slightly, and his face, which was swollen and red with excitement, gradually returned to normal, but the sword eyebrows that were still condensed like blades showed that he was not completely moved by Liu Bei.

"What my uncle said may be reasonable, but has my uncle ever thought that the Sun family has a tiger and wolf heart? If we introduce the Jiangdong army into Jingzhou, once we repel Cao Qian, a strong enemy and remove the threat from the north, they are likely to take the opportunity to attack us. With the strength of the Jiangdong Marine Division, I'm afraid this enemy is more terrible than Cao Yan. At that time, won't we become the front door to reject the tiger, the back door to attract the wolf, and dig the grave by ourselves?

'Liu Qi's judgment is quite accurate. Cao Jian is a tiger and Sun Quan is a wolf. History proves that Sun Quan, the headline wolf, has never given up on the prey in front of Jingzhou.'

While Liu Feng secretly praised Liu Qi, Liu Bei had picked up the teacup again. This time, his expression was no longer so peaceful, and the crow's feet at the side of his eyes fluctuated faintly. Liu Feng could vaguely feel it. On the body close at hand, an unprecedented murderous atmosphere was quietly permeating.

Xu Chu's murderous spirit is like a roaring north wind, blatant. Zhao Yun's murderous spirit is like frost and snow all over the sky, elegant but extremely cold. Guan Yu's murderous spirit is like the towering Mount Tai, and the lonely existence gives people a sense of oppression at any time.

And Liu Bei's murderous spirit is very different from anyone else.

It seems to be a vast sea under the sun. The wind and clouds on the sea are quiet, the clouds are light and the wind is light. The people who sail on it have no fear at all, but under the sea, the undercurrent is surging, and it is possible to break out of the sea anytime and anywhere. The huge waves can easily devour everything on the sea.

A strong sense of oppression hidden under calm but suffocating, this is Liu Feng's feeling now.

On his forehead, a drop of cold sweat rolled down quietly, and the shadow covered Liu Feng's anxious expression. Liu Qi, who was a few steps away, did not realize at all how fierce his kind and kind uncle was brewing in his heart at this moment.

"So, we must not take the risk of cooperating with the Sun family. I still say that as long as our uncles and nephews work together and fight to the death, I believe that there will be a miracle." Liu Qi, who was about to be dangerous, saw that Liu Bei was silent and thought that he was moved by his own words and expressed his determination in a more generous tone.

"Do you only rely on miracles?" Liu Bei said in a low voice, and the blue veins on the back of his hand suddenly protrude like a vine.

Liu Feng knew that Liu Bei's tolerance had reached the limit, and he was going to do it.

The situation is on the verge of breaking out.

Liu Bei's hand was slightly raised, and there were already signs of throwing the cup. The steel wire that collapsed in Liu Feng's heart seemed to have reached its limit and was about to break.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Liu Feng's mind.

"Father, the tea is cold. Add some more hot tea." He suddenly stepped forward, picked up the teapot on the stove, and poured a warm tea into the cup raised by Liu Bei.

A trace of surprise flashed away from Liu Bei's eyes. He looked at Liu Feng and had to withdraw his raised hand back.

Liu Feng walked to Liu Qi with a pot and smiled while adding tea for him, "Brother, in fact, my father's strategy of killing people with a knife is actually used for killing two birds with one stone."

Liu Bei frowned slightly behind him, and a blank look flashed in his eyes. Liu Feng's sudden move disrupted his plan, and suddenly mentioned "the use of two birds with one stone" made Liu Bei even more puzzled. Seeing that his adopted son did not act according to the written script, Liu Bei didn't know how to cooperate for a while, so he had to pretend to taste tea there.

"What's the trick of one stone and two birds, A Feng, make it clear?" Liu Qi, who didn't know the inside story, showed strong interest.

Liu Feng tilted the corners of his mouth, and a scheming smile appeared: "My father joined hands with Jiang Dong, just to use Sun's soldiers to fight against Cao. Jiangdong has the advantage of the water army, and Cao Jian's troops are superior. The two families are bound to be inexsoluble. Even if which one wins, it must be a tragic victory.

Swallowing his saliva, he continued, "If Cao wins, we can wait for work, take the opportunity to defeat the tired Cao army for a long time, and go north to recover Jing Xiang. If Jiangdong's army wins, then we will take the lead and defeat the main force of Jiangdong in one fell swoop. At that time, no one will be our enemy in the Han River. Whether it is to recover Jing Xiang or the Sun family in the east, we will have the upper hand. This is the real smart thing about my father's way of killing people with a knife.
