Chapter 18 Jinfan Eight Hundred Rides

When people in Xiangyang City got up the next day, they suddenly found that the streets in front of their door were full of broken carriages, and there were still blood stains on the ground, exuding blood. The army that has not been seen for a long time also appeared in Xiangyang City again. People found that the war seemed to be right in front of them. Xiangyang City has not experienced war for a long time.

The assassination last night directly led to the killing of nearly 20 officials in Xiangyang City, involving major families and forces in Xiangyang City. People are speculating whether Jiangdong Sun Ce is going to fight again, otherwise who dares to risk the world to assassinate the officials who participated in Liu Biao's birthday banquet.

However, some powerful families in Xiangyang City knew that it was 80% impossible. They all received the news that Xiangyang prison was robbed, and all the guards died except one who survived. Zhang Yue was robbed, which undoubtedly pointed the finger at Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha.

When Liu Qi woke up at noon the next day, the sun shone on Liu Qi through the window, which was warm. Liu Qi shook his head with a little pain and couldn't help smiling bitterly. It seemed that he was still not good at drinking.

When he arrived at the hall, Liu Xiu and others were already waiting for him there. Liu Xiu, like him, just got up. The other people's martial arts are good. Naturally, they often dip in wine, so they woke up early.

"Big Brother"

"Lord"

"Big Son"

Several people saw Liu Qi get up and came forward to say hello, but their faces were a little worried.

Seeing so many people waiting for him, Liu Qi said awkwardly, "Morning, everyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Pan said eagerly, "Brother, something has happened."

Liu Qi's heart thumped and secretly said why everything was not going well. After waking up for a few days, the trouble had not been interrupted, but it was not obvious on his face. He asked, "Oh, what's wrong? I think you all look sad. Isn't there something big going on?

Liu Pan said, "Brother, now Xiangyang City is in a mess. That Zhang Yue was also robbed.

Liu Qi was confused, but he also heard that the matter was definitely not small. He turned his head and looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Third brother, what's going on?"

Liu Xiu sighed and said, "Big brother, do you know the assassination last night?"

Liu Qi said doubtfully, "I naturally know that the person behind the scenes has been found out?" Or is it that the people behind the scenes have a deep background, and we can't deal with it?"

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Big brother knows that it was not only the big brother who was assassinated last night, but also many people who attended the banquet were assassinated. According to today's statistics, more than 20 officials were assassinated last night. Among the arrested officials, only the eldest brother survived, and all the others were killed.

"What?" Liu Qi said unbelievable. On the day of Liu Biao's birthday, he assassinated the official who participated in Liu Biao's birthday banquet, which did not take Liu Biao seriously at all, but a naked contempt. You can imagine how furious Liu Biao was when he learned about this.

Liu Qi calmed down and said, "What's wrong with Zhang Yue?"

Liu Xiu hesitated and said, "Last night, the Xiangyang prison was robbed. All the guards were killed except one person, and Zhang Yue was robbed."

Liu Qi, who had just calmed down, was shocked again. If the assassination of officials was a provocation to Liu Biao, then the robbery of prison was a declaration of war on Liu Biao and a declaration of war on Jing Xiang.

It took Liu Qi a long time to wake up from the shock. Thinking about it carefully, she felt that something was wrong. Liu Qi's first reaction was that someone wanted to provoke the turmoil among the princes. However, I think it is impossible. Now the princes have finally reached a tacit understanding. No one wants to take action against Xiangyang at this time, because a little action will trigger a melee between the princes.

"Only Zhang Yue was robbed? Is there anyone else?" Liu Qi asked.

"Well, all the iron prisons in Xiangyang are used. They can't be opened without the key. Only Zhang Yue was robbed." Liu Xiu thought for a moment.

Liu Qi sighed and already knew that this was probably done by Zhang Xian. It makes sense for Zhang Xian to rob his son and assassinate him, but it is not easy to assassinate Xiangyang officials unless he wants to rebel. The assassination of large and small officials in Xiangyang City not only angered Liu Biao, but also offended the large and small families in Xiangyang. They can't do it without conspiracy. Now it seems that this envy has long been prepared to plot a rebellion.

"Big brother..." Liu Pan saw Liu Qi shouting in silence.

"It's okay. This is probably made by Zhang Xian." Liu Qi did not hide it. All the people here are trustworthy.

"Brother, does this envy still want to rebel?" Liu Pan said in disbelief.

"The rabbit bites people when they are anxious, not to mention people." Liu Qi sneered.

"Brother, why did he assassinate the officials in Xiangyang? You know, so that he doesn't even have a way out?" Liu Xiu frowned.

"It's just a delay. If I guess correctly, Zhang Xian has long wanted to rebel. It's just that Zhang Yue only disrupted his plan, so he had to get up early. The assassination of officials was just to cause chaos and win more time for him." Liu Qi didn't have to explain so clearly, but Lv Jie and others just came here. If they didn't show something, they would not be convinced. Although they would not betray, they would not do their best either. What's more, Gan Ning has not officially expressed his obedience.

"Brother Gan, are you used to living?" Liu Qi turned his head and looked at Gan Ning.

"It's okay. Thank you, Mr. You." Naturally, Gan Ning knew that Liu Qi wanted to recruit him, and he also wanted to find a wise lord. Liu Qi looks like this now, but after all, the contact time is too short to make a decision.

"Brother Gan, you're welcome. When will your 800 riders arrive? I'll meet you with you then." Jinfan 800 riders accompanied Gan Ning to fight around, and he was the elite among the elites. Liu Qi has no military power now, and these 800 riders may become his first army.

"Thank you, Mr. Xie." Gan Ning was very grateful to Liu Qi, not to mention that he relieved himself yesterday. If these eight hundred riders are not led by anyone, it would be a problem to enter the city. Now it is naturally not a problem to have Liu Qi. Although there is a suspicion that he wants him to do this, it is a help, which can't be denied. He is willing to repay his kindness and will not shirk.

"Brother Gan, you're welcome. I may have to trouble you." Liu Qi smiled.

"What the eldest son said is that if you have anything in the future, just tell me." Gan Ning said without hesitation.

At this time, a subordinate quickly ran in and saluted, "Young master, Lord Zhou Mu sent someone to send a message to ask the young master to discuss the matter."

"I know, just say I'll go right away." Liu Qi ordered that he was also a little excited. According to his memory, Liu Biao had not been anxious for him to discuss the matter for a long time. I'm afraid that his performance at the banquet has entered Liu Biao's eyes this time, which is a recognition. If he wants to inherit Liu Biao's position, Liu Biao's attitude is crucial. Although Liu Qi doesn't care about these, the father-son relationship is not too rigid. Otherwise, it will be said to be unfilial. Unfiliality is a major crime during this period. If it is really implemented, who else dares to be loyal to him?

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

On the official road 30 miles away from Xiangyang City, a group of people are riding their horses to Xiangyang. The leader is the young man who followed Gan Ning yesterday.

These 800 people are Jing Xiang's famous brocade sail thief. At this moment, they all look tired, but there has never been any confusion in their brocade clothes. The bells tied on the horse's head are ringing with the horseshoe bells. It is not that the eyes of passers-by are cold, which makes pedestrians avoid it one after another.

The Jinfan thief is led by Gan Ning, and there are two other leaders. They are the second Su Fei, who is fascinated by the hidden weapon. Although the third Wu Xiong's martial arts skills are not high, he is cautious by nature, and his scheming is also good. He is good at boosting morale. The three are like brothers. This time, Gan Ning and Su Fei went to Jingzhou. They were afraid that their men would make trouble, so they left Wu Xiong to take care of them.

"Brother Su, tell us about the situation of the eldest brother in Xiangyang. Is it that Liu Biao greeted him as soon as he saw his eldest brother coming to vote? The man said.

"That's right, that's right. Our eldest brother went to him to look up to him. If he doesn't express it, won't he be sorry for our eldest brother's enthusiasm? Another person also said.

Wu Xiong, who was beside Su Fei, saw Su Fei's gloomy face and walked forward side by side with Su Fei and asked, "Second brother, is the eldest brother not doing well in Xiangyang?"

Su Fei took a breath and said, "Yes, my eldest brother and I went to celebrate our birthday. After offering gifts, we showed our intentions. Liu Biao did not accept it. His subordinates were even more opposed to Liu Biao's acceptance of the eldest brother. Among them, Liu Biao's son Liu Cong was the most fiercely opposed, and the eldest brother's situation was quite embarrassing. Speaking of this, Su Fei turned his head and looked at the people behind him.

Wu Xiong saw Su Fei and asked silently, "Is there anyone to help?"

Su Fei took a look at Wu Xiong and said, "It's a good moment. Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi came forward to persuade Liu Biao to accept us."

Wu Xiong muttered, "It seems that Xiangyang is not calm."

Su Fei looked at Wu Xiong in surprise. He didn't expect that he could foresee the situation of Xiangyang with just a few words. He said, "The third brother also saw that Xiangyang City is indeed calm. The eldest prince and Liu Congming fought secretly, which was quite not calm."

Wu Xiong was a little surprised. This second brother called Liu Biao by his name directly, but it was extremely respectful to call Liu Qi the eldest son. I can't help asking, "What do you think of the eldest son?"

A trace of admiration flashed in Su Fei's eyes and said, "The eldest son, not only the virtuous virtuous comoral, but also does not despise our identity as a thief at all. Instead, he respects the eldest brother and his words are quite valued. Moreover, the Wencai song "Water Tune Song Head" shocked four people. Unfortunately, we went late and didn't hear the eldest son recite it with our own ears. After saying that, he looked sorry.

Wu Xiong was even more surprised. Listening to his second brother's words, he was more curious about Liu Qi. I subdued my second brother in just one night. They are thieves at any time, but they are extremely arrogant and easily don't accept anyone. He asked quickly, "Second brother, do you remember the song made by the eldest son?"

"It's urgent, and I only remember one sentence. It's called 'I hope people will live for a long time and live together for thousands of miles'. Su Feidao.

"I hope people will live together for a long time..." Wu Xiong muttered. It took a while to wake up. He sighed in his heart, "No wonder the second brother admires Liu Qi so much that he can be famous all over the world with just one song."

Then Su Fei told Wu Xiong what happened in Xiangyang one by one. Wu Xiong couldn't figure out that so many things happened in one night. It was exciting to hear it. He couldn't help but want to see this eldest son earlier.
