Chapter 76 Look at your own grave

Thank you for opening my brother's reward, and there is another helmsman, hehe.

As soon as Liu Feng opened his mouth to plead, Zhao Yun, who did not drink much, also advised: "The eldest prince's words are reasonable. Uncle Chen followed the master when he was in Yuzhou. He has been loyal for so many years. This fire is also an accident, and I hope the master will punish him lightly."

After such a persuasion, Liu Bei calmed his anger a little and shouted, "The crime of death can be avoided, and the crime of living can't escape. Pull it out and hit fifty military sticks."

For ordinary people, if the fifty military sticks go down, they will be half disabled if they don't die. Although Liu Bei's men have mercy, these fifty sticks are enough to kill Chen.

'Uncle Chen, you are unlucky. I have tried my best. Whether I can survive this depends on your creation.'

Liu Feng couldn't persuade him any more. He watched Chen Dao being dragged away. When he was about to leave, Chen Dao's eyes looked at his side. Liu Feng could see that there was a little gratitude in the eyes of this silent man.

After Chen was dragged away, Liu Bei sat down, and his drunken face surged with a little worry. He couldn't help sighing, "I didn't expect that God didn't pity Zide, and he suffered such an accident. How could it be like this? How could it be like this..."

"Brother, Zide is weak and incompetent. He is addicted to wine and sex all day long. He dies early and early. It is also a relief for him. Don't be too sad." Zhang Fei's relief is very straightforward. It seems that in the eyes of tens of thousands of enemies, it's better to live than to die than to be a ' coward' like Liu Qi.

In the lobby, not many people were saddened by Liu Qi's "death news". It was just that a few people, Xu Shu and Zhao Yun, sighed with some regret.

Since Chen came to the newspaper the news that Liu Qi was burned to death, Zhuge Liang's eyes have been staring at Liu Bei. Obviously, at the beginning, he thought it was Liu Bei who instructed Liu Qi to burn Liu Qi to death, but after a moment of careful observation, the change in his eyes showed that he gave up the idea.

After listening to Zhang Fei's words, Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said, "Although Zide is intelligent and mediocre, his identity is a flag with great use value. The Lord's public use of this flag can not only attract a large number of Liu Biao's old subordinates, but also compete with Eastern Wu for the ownership of Jingzhou in the future. I don't want Zide to suddenly suffer such an accident, which is indeed a little unfavorable for the future development of the Lord.

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and thought that Zhuge Liang's words hit his heart, so he hurriedly said, "What the military master said is indeed reasonable, but Zi De is at least my nephew. Now that he has suffered this disaster, I, as an uncle, am sad in my heart. Military sjun, what do you think we should do next?

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly: "The lord doesn't have to worry too much. In fact, everyone in the world knows that Zide is in the hands of the lord. Even if Zide is really dead, as long as we don't publicize it and don't admit any speculation from the outside world, we can naturally minimize the adverse impact.

Zhuge Liang's words deeply won Liu Bei's heart. He was sad for a while and sighed, "It can only be like this now. You all know what to do."

Everyone is busy to get together.

Liu Feng sneered in his heart, but said, "Father, although we have no choice but to hide Zide's death inquiry, Zide is finally the same as us, and we should be buried with him."

"Well..." Liu Bei hesitated and turned his eyes to Zhuge Liang to seek his advice.

Zhuge Liang's face was a little helpless: "As the identity of Zide, the Lord should be buried for him, but in the current situation, it's better not to be too loud. When the Lord's great business is fixed, it is not too late to set up a heavy funeral for him again."

Most of what Kong Ming said was also what Liu Bei thought. He nodded immediately and said, "The military division is right. In this way, you can quietly bury your son on behalf of your father, so as not to attract attention."

"I see, father, don't worry."

The banquet on that day was unhappy because of the sudden fire and Liu Qi's sudden death, but Liu Qi's death did not disrupt Zhuge Liang's plans.

In the morning of the next day, Xu Shu set out to go to the Han water to meet Guan Yu. Zhao Yun ordered the troops of the headquarters and horses. In the afternoon of the same day, he set off for Lushan. Zhang Fei, who was ordered to march south of the two counties in western Hunan, was taking the time to prepare for the southern expedition. Liu Feng sent someone to order Ma Yan of Lushan to hand over the defense to Zhao Yun, and brought 200 people back to Xiakou. At the same time, he found a place to avoid outside Xiakou to bury Liu Qi's ashes.

The remnant sun is like blood, staining this mass grave with a layer of more desolate cold red.

In the pile of nameless chaotic graves, the new graves slept alone. The new grave did not even have a simple wood-carved monument, but a wooden stick was inserted in front of the grave as a mark to distinguish other graves.

Liu Feng squatted in front of the grave, poured a glass of water and wine on the grave, and sighed sadly, "Brother Zide, drink this glass of wine. You can go all the way."

A gust of wind rises, and the bare branches are rustling. On the top of their heads, several crows circled and howled impatiently from time to time, as if urging Liu Feng to get out of here quickly so that they could eat the fruits of the sacrifice.

After a simple memorial service, Liu Feng got into the carriage and ordered the driver to drive back to Xiakou City. The carriage walked slowly on the muddy mountain road, and several soldiers behind him gradually pulled a little far away.

At this time, Liu Feng poked his head out of the carriage, patted the driver on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "How does it feel to see your grave alive? Does it have a different flavor?"

The driver turned his head and gently lifted the lowered straw hat up, revealing a slightly helpless smile: "A Feng, you know that I'm not dead, but you have to take me to this damn place. It's not just to enjoy the pleasure of driving for you."

Liu Feng's face calmed down, and there was a deep meaning in the blade-like eyes: "Of course, it's amazing to let my brother drive me back. However, I brought you here to make you recognize the true face of that person for the last time.

The driver is Liu Qi.

At the meeting of the Taishou Mansion on that day, after Liu Feng was appointed by the second county of Xiangdong in the Southern Expedition, he knew that the opportunity Pang Tong said had come. Therefore, at the banquet that night, he took the opportunity to sneak out of the lobby, that is, to arrange his cronies to implement the plan he had planned earlier.

Originally, Liu Bei thought that he had played with Liu Qi in the palm of his hand, and his house arrest was not very strict. That night, the public's literature and martial arts were concentrated in the Taishou Mansion, and the monitoring of Liu Qi was bound to be more relaxed. It was because of this that Liu Feng was given a chance, and the fire was only done by him on purpose. The so-called "Liu Qi's bones" naturally There is another person.

The shabby orp grave reappeared in Liu Qi's mind, revealing determination and resentment in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "He was really cruel. He treated me like that when he was alive. Even if I was 'dead', he was still so mean and ruthless. Humph, this revenge is not repaid. I, Liu Qi, swear not to be a human being!"

Liu Qi's determination added some confidence to Liu Feng. He took a deep breath and sneered, "Brother, don't worry, we will be out of the cage soon. I promise you that it won't be long before you and I will be given back ten times the bullying."
