Chapter 152 Conspiracy
Hearing the sound behind him, Liu Qi suddenly turned around and saw the middle-aged man in white and Zhang Bo standing not far behind Liu Qi at this time. Both of them looked at themselves with a smile on their faces.
Liu Qi was relieved to see the two of them, and it was only the two people who could appear behind him silently.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you?" Seeing Liu Qi turn around, the middle-aged man arched his hand and smiled at Liu Qi.
"I'm worried about you." Liu Qi returned a salute.
Liu Qi looked at Zhang Bo, who was beside the old man, and said with a smile, "Are you and Zhang Bo old friends?" Liu Qi has no doubt about Zhang Bo.
"Yes, we haven't seen each other for a long time." The middle-aged man sighed and said, "He has been missing for more than ten years. If I hadn't happened to come to Xiangyang this time, I'm afraid I won't see him in my life."
Zhang Bo beside him shook his head and said, "It's not as mysterious as you said. It's just that I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Besides, even if you don't come to me, I will come to you in two years."
"Haha, your business can't be finished in two years." The middle-aged man shook his head.
Looking at the tone and expression between the two, Liu Qi has seen that the previous relationship between the two must be unusual.
"Son, I heard that the girl who came back with you was poisoned. He is proficient in medical skills. Why don't you let him have a look first?" Zhang Bo pointed to the middle-aged man beside him and said to Liu Qi.
"Oh, that's troublesome, senior." Liu Qi looked at the middle-aged man with some surprise.
"It doesn't matter. You can take me to have a look first. Maybe I can't solve this poison." The middle-aged man said indifferently.
"Please." Liu Qi stretched out his hand and pointed, and then went to the backyard first.
Not long after, Liu Qi took a few people into the room. At this time, only Wan'er and Xiao Qiao were left in the room to take care of Da Qiao. Seeing a few people coming in, the two women quickly got up and saluted.
"How is your sister now?" Liu Qi looked at Xiao Qiao beside him and asked.
"My sister has just taken the medicine and is asleep by now." Xiao Qiao whispered, and his expression was a little low.
"Don't worry, I won't let your sister have trouble." Seeing that Xiao Qiao looked like this, Liu Qi came forward to comfort him.
"Hmm." Little Joe nodded and didn't say anything.
"This senior is proficient in medicine. You can pack up some for the senior to see." Liu Qi pointed to the middle-aged man.
Xiao Qiao looked at the middle-aged man in surprise. Naturally, she had seen the middle-aged man and knew that it was because of the middle-aged man that Liu Qi did not take a break and went straight back to Xiangyang a few days ago. However, when he heard Liu Qi say that he was proficient in medicine, Xiao Qiao's eyes lit up, looked at the middle-aged man, and came forward to bulge Da Qiao's clothes on his arms, revealing the wound.
Looking at the dark wound, the middle-aged man frowned tightly. After a while, he sighed and said, "This poison is extremely domineering. I'm not sure to treat it, but I can stop the further spread of the poison. Her arm will be fine in ten days, and I can't do anything after ten days."
After saying that, the middle-aged man looked at the cloth brocade on Da Qiao's arm and said, "Although this brocade can stop the spread of poison, it only plays a role for a while. If her arm is tied for a long time, her arm is likely to be abolished."
"Ah, the doctor just said that it could be delayed for more than ten days." Little Joe exclaimed.
"This poison is extremely domineering. Its medicinal power will become stronger and stronger with time. The general medicine stone has no effect at all. Ordinary doctors can't see the power of this poison, so they can say that it can drag on for more than ten days." The middle-aged man shook his head.
Liu Qi's face was also a little solemn. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Bo beside him. Seeing Zhang Bo nodding and Liu Qi exhaled, "Then please take care of me."
"Nothing, it's just that you are sure you can find a cure for her in these ten days?" The middle-aged man looked at Liu Qi and asked.
"I have some friendship with the magic doctor Hua Tuo. At this time, I think he is already on the way, and he will definitely come in more than ten days." Liu Qi nodded.
"Hua Tuo? I've heard of this person. If you can invite him to come to her, she should be able to solve it. As the middle-aged man spoke, he picked up the pen on the table and wrote it. After a while, the middle-aged man put down the pen and said, "Take the medicine according to the house on it. She will have no problem in ten days. I will also live in the house in these ten days. Let me know if you have any questions."
Liu Qi nodded and picked up the bamboo slips on the table, read them and handed them to Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Hmm." Wan'er took the bamboo slips and went out.
...............................
"Waste." In the study, Cai Mao grabbed the bamboo slips on the table and fell down, banging directly on the man in black kneeling in front of the desk.
"The Lord is angry. This time, Liu Qi has been on guard for a long time, and it is a righteous assassination, which is really difficult for the assassin. However, now that Liu Qi has returned to Xiangyang, and the Flying Tiger Guard is no longer under the command of Liu Qi, it will definitely not be wrong to assassinate at this time. Assassination of Liu Qi in Xiangyang City is far more deterrent than outside Xiangyang City. The man in black let the bamboo slip hit his head and lowered his head and said.
"Huh! More than 300 people failed to assassinate one person, and nearly 100 people were lost. Is the strength of the Black Guard regressed or did the leadership of your three leaders make a mistake? Cai Mao looked at the man in black and asked coldly.
"This..." The man in black didn't know how to answer for a moment. If he goes back to the strength of the man in black, it is their dereliction of duty, but if he answers their mistakes, Cai Mao will definitely remove them as soon as possible.
"The lord can rest assured that the guard in black will definitely take Liu Qi's head within three days, and Liu Qi will hire a doctor after returning to the house. The people in the house must have been seriously injured. My subordinates have asked. Although Liu Qi was not killed in this assassination, the people in the carriage were hit by an arrow. The crossbows of the Black Guard are highly poisonous, and this man will definitely not live for more than three days. The man in black hesitated for a moment.
"Who is in the carriage?" Cai Mao asked in a moment of silence.
"There are women in the carriage. According to the intelligence, it should be Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao looted by Liu Qi from Jiangdong, but now these two women should be Liu Qi's women." The man in black.
"It's just a woman. If you can't go to Liu Qi's name within three days, the leader of the Black Guard should also be replaced." After saying that, Cai Mao waved his hand to let the man in black retreat. He decided to assassinate Liu Qi because Liu Biao did not say anything about this matter. In his opinion, as long as Liu Biao did not say that he would assassinate Liu Qi unscrupulously. What he worried about was that he could not turn against Liu Biao. After that, he had decided to go to Cao Cao and then with Liu Biao. It doesn't matter if you fall out.
The man in black came out of the study, walked around the house a few times, and then came to a courtyard. From time to time, people in black came in and out, and the man in black entered the courtyard and went directly into the hall. Two people in black in the hall were already waiting here. When they saw the man in black coming in, they all got up to greet each other.
"Brother." The two are the two leaders and the three leaders of the Black Guard.
"Well, it's all caused by you two." The man in black snorted coldly and pointed to the two.
"Brother, don't be angry. Tell us what the lord will say first?" The second leader asked the man in black to sit down and personally went to a cup of waterway for him.
"What else can I say? The lord said that if we can't kill Liu Qi within three days, then we don't need to stay." The man in black is gloomy.
Hearing the words of the man in black, both of them were shocked. After a while, they woke up and said, "Brother, it is even more difficult to assassinate Liu Qi in these three days. If Liu Qi can't get into the house, will we still kill him?"
"No matter what, we must kill Liu Qi this time, even if we put on the whole black guard. And I will go to assassinate Liu Qi in person this time. The man in black.
"Ah." Both of them were shocked. The man in black, as the leader of the black guard, had not personally assassinated anyone for more than 20 years.
Seeing that there was no way out, the two also looked gloomy. They sat in the man in black and didn't say anything.
"Second brother, you usually have a lot of ideas, and it's up to you to decide when to assassinate." The man in black looked at the second leader.
"Brother, Liu Qi will definitely go to Liu Biao's banquet tomorrow. We might as well assassinate at the banquet. Liu Qi will not bring too many people around the banquet, and his defense will be relaxed a lot. I will suddenly kill at that time, and maybe it will work." The second leader was silent for a while.
"This..." The man in black was a little hesitant. Isn't it better for Liu Biao and Cai Mao to assassinate Liu Qi at Liu Biao's banquet? If Cai Mao knew, he would definitely not agree.
"Brother, we have no way out. If we succeed, we can continue to stay here. If we fail, the three of us will go far away. It is not difficult to survive with the martial arts of the three of us." When the second leader saw Liu Biao, he hesitated to persuade him.
"Yes, we have done so many things for Cai over the years without credit and hard work. Over the years, Cai Mao's attitude towards us is getting worse and worse. Maybe one day he will let us die and not leave." The three leaders were also persuading.
"Leave? Where can we go? It's not that you don't know the strength of the Cai family. The whole Jingzhou is the strength range of the Cai family. Only in Jingzhou can remove us at any time. The man in black shook his head.
"Big brother, don't worry. Although the Cai family has great power in Jingzhou, it has no power in other places. As long as we go out of Jingzhou, even the Cai family can't do anything about it. Moreover, it's too early to discuss this matter. If we really kill Liu Qi, we don't have to run away. Now say no. It's just a reminder to the eldest brother. The second leader said.
"Okay, let's talk about this later. Now let's discuss the assassination of Liu Qi. Tomorrow, the state pastoral government will be heavily guarded, and it is not easy to assassinate Liu Qi." The man in black nodded.
"Big brother is right. Tomorrow, the state pastoral mansion will be heavily guarded. If you want to assassinate Liu Qi, you will use poison, but send people to sneak into the house. There is no other way." The second leader said.
"In this case, we must put Liu Qi to death in both way." The man in black clenched his hands and said.
