Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 204 Preliminary Discussion

I haven't seen her for nearly a year, Madam Cai is still dressed in the same elegant and luxurious way as before, her face is colder than the weather, it seems that she is not in a good mood.

Mrs. Cai came over angrily. She had just had a quarrel with her husband about her birthday. He forbade her to show up when celebrating her birthday. This made Mrs. Cai feel unbelievable. She couldn't accept such a decision, so she quarreled with her husband.

But the quarrel couldn't convince Liu Biao, so Mrs. Cai rushed out of the house angrily. She had a subconscious desire to go back to her natal home. Every time she quarreled with her husband, she would go back to her natal home for a few days.

But today, as soon as she went out, she met Liu Jing. Mrs. Cai stopped abruptly, and took a step back involuntarily. She never expected to meet Liu Jing here.

"Why are you here?" Mrs. Cai's almond-shaped eyes widened, with anger looming in her eyes.

"So it's Madam!"

Liu Jing bowed to her and said with a pleasant smile, "Long time no see."

"Hmph! You are very beautiful now, everyone is praising you, even I seem to be praising you, do you want it?"

"Madam's compliments should be left to the mirror! I can't afford it, I'm sorry."

Liu Jing bowed slightly, and walked quickly to the mansion.

"Stop!" Mrs. Cai yelled angrily, and she finally realized Liu Jing's sarcasm, which immediately made her furious.

Liu Jing stopped in her tracks, turned her head and asked with a smile, "Madam, what else do you want?"

Mrs. Cai slowly calmed down by Liu Jing's calm conversation. She took a deep breath, restrained her gaffe, and said coldly, "You don't have the right to enter the mansion casually. You have to wait outside for notification."

"I'm sorry, uncle didn't say that to me at the beginning, excuse me!"

Liu Jing ignored Mrs. Cai, and walked quickly towards the inner mansion. Mrs. Cai was so angry that her eyes went black for a while, she suddenly held her forehead, and almost fainted, two maids hurriedly supported her, "Madam! Madam!"

. . . . . . . .

Liu Jing stood outside the study and waited patiently. After a while, a book boy came out to salute and said, "Young Master Jing, the State Shepherd welcomes you!"

Liu Jing straightened his clothes and walked quickly into the study. He was already mentally prepared that tonight would not have a good ending.

In the study, Liu Biao was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring out the window expressionlessly. From his face, it could be seen that he had just quarreled with his wife, but he ignored Liu Jing when he came in.

Liu Jing knelt down and saluted, "Nephew Liu Jing, pay respects to uncle!"

Liu Biao didn't look back either, and asked coldly, "How long have we not seen each other?"

"In less than a year, Danri's nephew still participated in the clan sacrifice."

"Well! In less than a year, so many things happened in less than a year, Jing'er, you let me down!"

Liu Biao's attitude was expected by Liu Jing. Of course, he would not admit that he let Liu Biao down. He asked in a low voice, "I don't know what uncle is referring to?"

"is it?"

Liu Biao turned around slowly, staring at Liu Jing coldly, "You really don't know?"

"My nephew is stupid, I really don't know!"

At this time, Liu Jing suddenly felt that Liu Biao's voice was very old, without the middle breath of the past, the voice seemed to be squeezed out of the trachea, and there was an indescribable feeling of fatigue.

He secretly raised his eyes to glance at Liu Biao, and was immediately taken aback. The Liu Biao in front of him was very different from a year ago. Almost half of his beard and hair had fallen off, his face was sagging and deeply wrinkled. It was as if a different person had been changed during the sacrifice.

Liu Biao found that Liu Jing was peeping at him, and also saw the surprise in Liu Jing's eyes. He was like a middle-aged woman whose real face was seen without enough time to put on makeup. He felt a little annoyed and asked sharply, "Let me ask you, Jiang Xiazhi How do you explain it to me?"

Liu Jing was very confused, and Liu Biao's appearance made him deeply shocked. Has Liu Biao always been like this, or has it changed within this year?

If it was like this in the past, wouldn't it mean that he has been living in a painted skin? If it's just a change this year, then could he be poisoned?

Everything is a gradual change. Even if there is a black swan incident, there will be various clues and signs. There is no one like Liu Biao who suddenly becomes old. Apart from being poisoned, he really can't think of any explanation .

"I'm asking you something, didn't you hear me?"

Liu Biao intensified his tone, and his attitude became severe, "I'll ask you again, how can you explain to me about Jiang Xia?"

Liu Jing put Liu Biao's appearance changes aside for the time being, and returned to today's business, which was Jiang Xia. Liu Biao never got off topic, but he, Liu Jing, was a little distracted.

Liu Biao's stern attitude was also expected by Liu Jing. After all, using the status of an elder to exert pressure is an effective negotiating method, but brothers have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention the unreliable relationship between uncle and nephew.

Liu Jing was not overwhelmed by Liu Biao's stern attitude, he calmly replied: "Uncle, can I allow my nephew to recount the facts in detail?"

Liu Biao stared at Liu Jing for a while, feeling a punch in his heart. Liu Jing's calmness forced him to realize that the method of using his elder status to exert pressure was unsuccessful.

The anger in Liu Biao's eyes gradually subsided, and his gaze became unfathomable. He sat down and said calmly, "Sit down and talk!"

Liu Jing sat up straight, and then told what was going to happen. There was a detailed report on the war, so he didn't say much, but focused on what happened in Wuchang.

"The situation in Wuchang was very chaotic at that time, and Su Fei couldn't control the situation, so he asked me for help. The key point is that Huang She was not killed in battle, but hid in Jiangxia's dark place, waiting for an opportunity.

Both Zhang Shuo and Jiang Zhi are Huang Zu's confidantes, and they are important figures among the eighteen generals promoted by Huang Zu. Su Fei found out that Zhang Shuo and Jiang Zhi had secret plans, and suspected that they had already contacted Huang She. , so my nephew rushed to Wuchang to control the situation. "

Speaking of this, Liu Jing took out a letter and handed it to Liu Biao, "This is the urgent request for help from General Su at that time."

Of course, the letter was added after the fact, and it didn't make any sense. Liu Biao knew it in his heart, he just glanced at it briefly, and asked coldly, "Then why did you kill someone?"

"My nephew's murder was completely helpless. At that time, my nephew only brought 500 people to Wuchang. Once there was a mutiny, the consequences would be disastrous. In fact, my nephew put the summoned generals in the account to separate the two of them from the soldiers. Under such circumstances, killing is the most effective means."

Liu Biao slowly closed his eyes, as if waiting for something?

Liu Jing's words cannot be said to be unreasonable. The key is that Huang She's whereabouts are unknown. The Huang family's foundation is in Jiangxia. As long as Jiangxia is not occupied by Jiangdong Army, Huang She will certainly not leave Jiangxia easily. It is also reasonable to call the old department.

But Liu Biao would not listen to any of his explanations. He only wanted the result and didn't care about the process, and he only wanted to change the result if he pursued the process.

At this time, Liu Biao's eyes opened slightly, Liu Jing also heard footsteps, and the door suddenly opened.

When Liu Jing turned his head, he saw a few soldiers bringing in a man with only one hand and staring at him viciously. It was Zhang Shuo who had escaped in Wuchang.

Zhang Shuo finally escaped, which annoyed Liu Jing. At that time, Li Qing explained that there were 20 people against six people, and Zhang Shuo's five men tried their best to protect Zhang Shuo, so that Zhang Shuo escaped by chance.

Despite Li Qing's best efforts, Liu Jing still beat him with thirty military sticks. Like Liu Biao, Liu Jing only looked at the result to a certain extent.

Zhang Shuo's appearance didn't make Liu Jing flustered, this person was lucky to survive, so he could only rely on Liu Biao's way, he had thought of it a long time ago, so Liu Jing didn't panic, and quietly waited for Zhang Shuo's performance.

Zhang Shuo knelt down, gritted his teeth and said to Liu Biao, "I want to report to the state shepherd, my humble Zhang Shuo wants to sue this man. He surpassed his authority, but he ruthlessly killed us, Zhou Mu, he has annexed Jiangxia, trying to separate Jiangxia and stand on his own."

On the side, Liu Biao looked at Liu Jing coldly. He didn't speak, waiting for Liu Jing's answer. Around twenty guards with big arms and round waists stood against the wall, with sharp eyes, and they rushed towards Liu Jing when Zhou Mu gave an order.

Liu Jing shook his head, "It's really nonsense!"

He bowed to Liu Biao again, and said with a sneer, "Uncle, if I want to separate Jiangxia and stand on my own, will I appear in Xiangyang? This is the most basic common sense. Since Jiangxia has been annexed by me, what am I going to do in Xiangyang?" "

"Liu Jing, you are ashamed!"

Zhang Shuo shouted: "If you serve Zhou Mu as your lord, why do you negotiate with Jiang Dong without authorization? This is a matter of Zhou Mu's decision. Why did you exceed your authority?"

"It's just a clown who catches the wind and jumps on the beam!"

Liu Jing dismissed his yelling, and said to Liu Biao, "Uncle, this person is Huang Zu's confidant, because he colluded with Huang She and wanted to capture the soldiers of Wuchang, Su Fei found out the crisis, so he urgently asked me for help." , I just sent Su Fei’s request letter to my uncle. If my uncle doesn’t believe me, I have more evidence, which is the letter from Jiang Zhi colluding with Huang She, which also mentions Zhang Shuo. Will my uncle allow me to send someone? To fetch the letter?"

"no need!"

Liu Biao just asked Zhang Shuolu to show up to blow Liu Jing's arrogance. Today is not the time for the official liquidation. He waved his hand and said to the guards on the left and right: "Take him down!"

Zhang Shuo rattled his teeth with hatred, and roared, "I swear, I will kill you! Kill your whole family!"

"Kill my whole family, including my uncle?"

Liu Jing sneered, and said to Liu Biao, "Uncle, do you also believe the words of such a lunatic?"

Liu Biao was also a little annoyed. He didn't expect Zhang Shuo to be so unbearable. He asked him to testify against Liu Jing, but he yelled crazily, with hatred in his eyes. What's the point of such testimony?

Liu Biao waved his hand heavily, "Everyone get down!"

After everyone retreated, Liu Biao suppressed the anger in his heart, stared at Liu Jing and asked, "Why didn't you report to me and have a secret relationship with Sun Quan?"

Liu Jing laughed, "Uncle, Sun Quan's army has died at my hands, no less than 3 people, he hates me to the bone, if there is any news in Xiangyang that Sun Quan and I have made friends in private, please don't take it too seriously , that can only be Jiangdong's countermeasure."

"Don't tell me so much!"

Liu Biao suddenly became irritable. All he wanted to know was, 'What about Jiang Xia? But Liu Jing rambled and refused to talk about key issues, and Liu Biao gradually lost his patience.

"You simply tell me, what are you doing in Xiangyang?"

"My nephew wants to report to my uncle about the exchange of prisoners of war with Jiangdong. My nephew has thousands of Jiangdong prisoners of war and tens of thousands of Jiangdong army's bones. Sun Quan also has nearly 5000 Jingzhou army prisoners of war in his hands. Only the ones sent by Cai Mao last time There are [-] prisoners of war, and my nephew wants to exchange them."

The prisoners of war in Jingzhou were also one of Liu Jing's negotiating weapons. He revealed the matter inadvertently, and Liu Biao immediately calmed down as if he had been poured down by a basin of ice water.
