Soldiers come to the world

Liu Cong also went to attend the family banquet of the Huang Mansion today. He passed by Longzhong, where he had a rest and had a glass of wine. Together with him, there was also Cai Yi, the son of Cai Mao. Met Liu Jing and Tao Zhan.

Rather than saying that Liu Cong saw Liu Jing first, it is better to say that he saw Tao Zhan first. When he saw him at the Wangjiang Tavern three months ago, Tao Zhan's peerless appearance left a deep impression on him, and he immediately inquired about it. , this unparalleled beauty is the daughter of Tao Sheng.

He immediately ordered someone to send an invitation card to invite Tao Zhan to come out for a while, but Tao Zhan left Fancheng and returned to Chaisang on the pretext of family affairs, which made Liu Cong regret for several days, and he never forgot in his heart.

When Tao Zhan walked up the stairs, Liu Cong's eyes lit up. The beauty came back again. The white dress was like snow, and the beauty was like jade. Come.

Liu Cong hurried up and said with a smile, "Brother Jing, why are you here?"

He was asking Liu Jing, but he glanced at Tao Zhan. Before Liu Jing could answer, Liu Cong quickly bowed and saluted, "Miss Tao, I am very sorry that you left without saying goodbye last time!"

From the moment he saw Liu Cong, Liu Jing noticed that he was looking at Tao Zhan from time to time, and there was an unbearable eagerness in his eyes. Liu Jing was just a little disgusted in his heart, but it was not surprising. Staring at Tao Zhan, his eyes almost melted.

But Liu Cong actually knew Tao Zhan, which made Liu Jing startled, immediately became vigilant, and turned to Tao Zhan, "Jiu Niang, do you know my brother?"

Tao Zhan hated Liu Cong's obsessive appearance to the extreme. She was afraid that Liu Jing would misunderstand, so she leaned close to Liu Jing, and smiled at Liu Jing: "Have you forgotten? Last time at Wangjiang Tavern , you were there too, didn’t I go back to Chaisang that day?”

She never told Liu Jing why she did not say goodbye and returned to Chai Sang that time. In fact, she was afraid of affecting the relationship between their brothers. She thought that Liu Cong would know her indifference, so she stopped. Unexpectedly, Liu Cong brought up the old story again today. , obviously unwilling to give up, she simply stopped hiding and told Liu Jing the truth implicitly.

Only then did Liu Jing understand why Tao Zhan returned to Chai Sang. It turned out that Liu Cong had taken a fancy to her, and he suddenly became annoyed. Liu Cong dared to rob him of a woman?

The annoyance in Liu Jing's heart did not show on his face, he smiled faintly, "Brother Cong, where is Miss Cai, why don't you see me?"

"She went to Huangfu by herself, and went with her mother."

The expression on Liu Cong's face was a little unnatural. When he was speaking, Tao Zhan and Liu Jing actually leaned together, which was tantamount to hinting at himself.

Liu Cong was very dissatisfied in his heart. He was the son of a dignified state shepherd, but she actually fell in love with his cousin.

Although frustrating, Tao Zhan's beauty made Liu Cong reluctant to give up. He stepped forward and bowed deeply to Tao Zhan, "Miss Tao, I made an agreement with my father last night that I will represent my father on your ancestor's [-]th birthday." I'm going to pay my respects to my birthday, I believe the Tao family will accept me."

Liu Cong's words were already very straightforward, Liu Jing's eyes slowly narrowed, what did he mean by this?

At this time, Liu Cong smiled at Liu Jing again: "Brother Jing, Miss Tao, why don't you sit down and have a glass of water and wine together, and then go to Huangfu together."

"No, let's go first."

Liu Jing and Tao Zhan glanced at each other, they turned around and were about to leave, Liu Cong quickly gave his guard a wink, and a guard stepped forward to stop Tao Zhan.

"Master Jing can leave, but this girl must stay with her..."

He hadn't finished speaking when Liu Jing's long knife suddenly came out from his waist, and the knife hit the guard's shoulder. The guard screamed and rolled down the stairs.

Tao Zhan was so frightened that his face turned pale, he covered his mouth with his hands, and looked at the injured guard lying on the stairs in horror.

Liu Jing slowly retracted the knife into its sheath, turned back to Liu Cong and said coldly: "We are not three-year-old children anymore, I advise you, it is best not to do some things, when I gave you the Xuanlin Sword, I warned you I don’t want your people, but you don’t want to make up your mind about what belongs to me.”

Liu Cong was stunned, took two steps back, and couldn't say a word for a long time. At this moment, Cai Yi sneered and said: "Mr. Do you think the Tao family will choose the son of the state shepherd, or the nephew of the state shepherd?"

Liu Jing took a deep look at him and said lightly, "You might as well give it a try!"

After speaking, he took Tao Zhan's wrist, turned around and went downstairs. ． ． ． ． ． ．

Liu Cong walked to the window and watched Liu Jing escorting the carriage with a gloomy face, a flash of anger flashed in her eyes, she didn't say a word, she didn't give herself face.

"Young Master Cong, women's minds are very strange."

Cai Yi slowly walked to Liu Cong's side, stared at the carriage going away and said indifferently: "Don't look at her being indifferent to you now, but once you get her, she will give up her heart to you."

"But... This Liu Jing is not easy to mess with, and my father sometimes favors him." Liu Cong said angrily.

Cai Yi glanced at him and thought to himself, "No wonder my father said that Liu Cong is easy to control. It's true, he is cowardly and incompetent. If he can support him to ascend the throne, it is indeed in the best interests of the Cai family."

This Liu Jing is not easy to deal with, but he can use this woman to turn his brothers against each other, which is a good way. '

Thinking of this, Cai Yi said coldly: "Only the strong can live in a beautiful country. Could it be that the majestic future master of Jingzhou can't even get a woman he likes?"

Cai Yi used the simplest provocative method, with few words and very straightforward, but it was precisely this simple and straightforward that stabbed Liu Cong's vitals.

'Beauties in the country, only the strong can live! '

Liu Cong muttered to himself, and he remembered what his mother said, Liu Jing's support for elder brother will sooner or later be an obstacle for him to compete for the Lord of Jingzhou, yes!If he can't even get a woman, what face does he have to fight for the Lord of Jingzhou.

Liu Cong looked down on Liu Jing from the bottom of his heart. From the first day he saw Liu Jing, this kind of contempt took root in his heart. How could he let Liu Jing take away the woman he liked.

Liu Cong's fist slowly clenched.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The carriage left the small town of Longzhong not long after, and continued north along the official road. It was nearly twenty miles away from Huangfu, and it would take half an hour at most. There are many green fruits hanging on the ground, and flocks of birds fly out of the woods and circle the official road.

Liu Jing was silent all the way, Jingzhou has gradually formed two major family factions, the Liu Qi faction and the Liu Cong faction, and Liu Biao has arranged his nephew Liu Qing to be the governor of Changsha County. Obviously, he wants Liu Qing to control Changsha County. In this way, In addition to Liu Qi faction and Liu Cong faction, there is another Liu Qing faction.

Of course, the formation of the Liu clan faction is still in its infancy, but with the development of time, the pattern of this clan faction will become more and more clear, and finally become incompatible.

But Liu Jing thinks more about himself, Liu Qing is about to become the Changsha faction, so what about himself?In the struggle for power in Jingzhou, will he form the Liu Jing faction?

Judging from the current situation, Liu Biao seems to have wavered and intends to let him become an independent faction. This may be related to the Battle of Xinye, which changed Liu Biao's attitude towards himself.

When I met Liu Cong in a tavern today, the fight between them gave Liu Jing a premonition that sooner or later, he would be at odds with Liu Cong. The inevitable result of the struggle for power in Jingzhou. ． ． ． ． ． ．

Liu Jing was extremely anxious. He had never been so eager to get his own territory like today.

Tao Zhan in the carriage was also in a bad mood. Last time at Wangjiang Tavern, Liu Cong's appearance made her extremely disappointed. Today, Liu Cong disturbed her originally high-spirited mood again. Needless to say, she hated Liu Cong.

But at this time, she had an inexplicable worry in her heart. Liu Cong said that he was going to visit his father in Chaisang. She understood the meaning behind the words. own idea?

If it were another person, Tao Zhan would have a look of contempt, but Liu Cong was different. He was the son of the state shepherd and half the master of Jingzhou. If he used his identity to put pressure on his father, would his father agree accordingly.

This is what Tao Zhan is worried about. Although she is full of resentment and disgust towards Liu Cong, she has to calmly consider the consequences.

At this time, Tao Zhan took a peek at Liu Jing outside the carriage through the curtain of the carriage. Although she felt that she hadn't fallen in love yet and was still sober and rational, she did not deny that she had a good impression of Liu Jing. I am also willing to keep this goodwill, and even give him a chance.

But does he have the heart?What he said to Liu Cong, although he showed that he was interested in him, but. ． ．Does he like himself as a person, or like Liu Cong, he only cares about his appearance.

Tao Zhan is very troubled. She has been harassed repeatedly in the past two years. Jiangxia's Huang brothers now have another Liu Cong.

But she hopes that Liu Jing is different from them, she hopes that Liu Jing likes her, not just because of her appearance.

Tao Zhan couldn't help but looked at Liu Jing again. Along the way, he was so preoccupied. Could it be that he was afraid of hurting his brotherhood, so he was timid. Tao Zhan really wanted to know what Liu Jing was thinking at this time, just like a cat Walking through her heart, she began to fidget, what was he thinking?

"Master Jing!"

Tao Zhan opened a gap in the car curtain and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Liu Jing woke up from his contemplation, and realized that he had neglected Tao Zhan. He smiled apologetically, "I was thinking about something just now, and I forgot about you. Shall we find another tavern to rest?"

"No need, we should be arriving at the Huang Mansion soon."

Tao Zhan hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "Did the trouble I caused in the tavern just now make you feel embarrassed?"

"trouble?"

Liu Jing shook his head: "You think too much, there is no trouble, I was just thinking about what that Cai Yi said."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing asked again with a smile: "If I had found another seat at that time, would Miss Tao plan to sit with me, or to entertain Young Master Cong?"

"What do you think?" Tao Zhan looked at him seriously.

Liu Jing couldn't help making a joke, "He's the son of the state shepherd, and I'm just the nephew of the state shepherd. I think Miss Tao might choose him."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Liu Jing felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, how could he make such a joke.

But the words had already been spoken and could not be taken back, so Liu Jing could only smile sarcastically, "Don't be angry, I was just joking."

Tao Zhan's pretty face immediately darkened, 'Crack! ' Pulling the curtains of the car, a burst of insulted anger rose from her heart, who did he think of himself as?
