Chapter 1247 Liu Biao's illness
As soon as Liu Bei entered Liu Biao's bedroom, he was greeted with a strong smell of medicine.Liu Bei frowned, put the bundle of nightshade incense beside the incense burner, and straightened his waist.In the waiting hall before coming here, there were still many powerful officials from Jingzhou, especially Cai Mao and others who had just come out of Liu Biao's dormitory.Although Liu Bei didn't completely rely on others this time, in order not to have a direct conflict with Cai Mao and others, he kept his body bent all the time, causing backaches and backaches.

The furnishing of this bedroom is quite simple, with thin beams and low eaves, plain gauze and thin boards, it is not as good as an ordinary county guard's house.A jujube wood table painted black, on which there is a copper crane beak oil lamp and bamboo slips with brush and ink; on a bookshelf there are a few volumes.A bright lacquered bamboo screen painted with dragons and phoenixes stands in the middle, dividing the entire room into two halves, and is regarded as the most precious thing in the room.On the other side of the screen, the candlelight was flickering, and there seemed to be a figure flickering.

Turning around the screen, the first thing Liu Bei saw was a woman kneeling beside the bed.This woman looks very young, with a pair of charming and energetic big eyes, extremely black and extremely bright pupils, pointed jaw and round forehead, and high temples.A golden braid was inserted obliquely into the bun, which seemed to be done casually, but it made her unpainted jade face radiant and radiant.She just knelt there quietly, and she already gave people a thrilling beauty.

Liu Bei knew that it was Cai Mao's own sister and Liu Biao's concubine Cai Shi.Seeing this person present, Liu Bei's frown deepened further, and when Cai saw that Liu Bei had entered, a look of disgust rose on his face.However, it seemed that Liu Biao had something to say, she saluted Liu Bei lightly, and then walked out of the dormitory.

On Liu Biao's bedside was a bowl full of dark brown concoction, still steaming.There was a person lying in the brocade quilt, that person no longer had the elegant demeanor of the past, his body tortured by the poison was curled up in the quilt, as if he was looking for a warm child.Seeing this, Liu Bei's eyes couldn't help but heat up: he sympathizes with Liu Biao, and even more so, he feels a little bit sad for the death of a rabbit.After all, if he wins Jingzhou in the future, maybe Liu Biao will end up like this...

"Is it Xuande?" Liu Biao raised his eyelids slightly, and when he saw that it was Liu Bei, he burst out with hope, "I'm dying. Before I die, I have something to ask you."

These words were trembling, and Liu Bei's tears fell naturally, lying on the head of Liu Biao's bed, choked up and replied: "The envoy has something to say, and he will obey his orders!"

As soon as the words were finished, there was a sound in the dormitory, Liu Bei looked back vigilantly, and quickly took two steps back.When subconsciously reaching for his waist with his right hand, he found nothing - this is Liu Biao's dormitory, where can someone bring a sharp weapon into it?

Thinking of this, cold sweat dripped from Liu Bei's head immediately, and his reaction in the next moment was even more strange, instead of raising his legs and running outside, he rushed towards Liu Biao's bed again!

At this time, those noises gradually became clear. Liu Bei looked back and saw a group of guards escorting a person into the room.The imprisoned man was dressed as a slave in the shepherd's mansion, trembling in front of a group of guards who looked like wolves and tigers.At this time, Liu Bei saw that Liu Biao did not seem to want to assassinate him, so he immediately asked Liu Biao, "Master, what do you mean?"

"Xuande, kill this thief for me!" Liu Biao gritted his teeth, his face turned purple, his eyes fixed on the slave, wishing to swallow it in one gulp to relieve his hatred.

"Shi, Shi Jun..." Liu Bei was momentarily dumbfounded by the incident in front of him.

"This person eats everything from inside to outside. My whole body is sick because of this person poisoning my food. After a long time, I have no way to recover today. Cough cough..." Liu Biao coughed heavily, looking very excited: "Xuan De, kill him for me!"

As soon as the words fell, one of the guards immediately handed Liu Bei a knife.Liu Bei was holding the knife in his hand, but his heart was churning in shock: What the hell is going on? !

Obviously, Liu Biao's move was to verify whether Liu Bei was loyal.But in fact, Liu Bei also knew that Liu Biao's sudden use of his nominal affiliation relationship with Liu Biao was really ridiculous.

Moreover, if you want to kill someone, do you have to ask Liu Bei to do it for you?If he really hated this person, it would not be impossible to cut these guards into pieces in front of his eyes; also, why didn't this happen to the minister of Jingzhou who came to visit before?
kill?

Liu Bei shook his head, feeling ridiculous: "Master, is this person really poisoning you?"

"indeed so."

"Since that's the case, it's okay to let people drag you out and chop it with a knife. Why do you have to prepare for it?" Liu Bei asked clearly. At the same time, after these words, his whole body was highly nervous, and he was always paying attention to the guards. .

What reassured Liu Bei was that the guards didn't say a word or move, and didn't say the worst result of Liu Bei's refusal to rush forward.And Liu Biao seemed to be unable to respond to Liu Bei's straightforward questioning. After coughing twice, he said again: "Xuande, you and I are both relatives of the Han family, and our personal relationship is even more intimate. My hand is yours." My hatred is your hatred. Xuande did not know that this person has been loyal to me since he was sold to me at the age of ten, but I never thought that such a person would actually betray me. Today , if I hadn't been powerless, I would have killed this thief myself!"

After saying so much in one breath, Liu Biao looked a little tired. He lay in the brocade quilt, and finally looked at Liu Bei with pleading eyes: "Xuande killed him for me, which is my last wish before I die..."

Liu Bei was still a little hesitant, although Liu Biao's explanation was reasonable, and he and Liu Biao also had a deep personal relationship, so it was nothing to ask him to do it for him.But this is Liu Biao's dormitory, and outside the dormitory, there are a large number of Jingzhou important officials.If I really hacked the servant to death with one knife, a group of people outside the door rushed in after hearing the noise, and saw that I was carrying a blood-stained knife, while a servant fell in a pool of blood, and a group of guards faced each other with knives... ...Such a situation is the ironclad proof that Liu Bei wanted to assassinate Liu Biao, but was rescued by a slave at the end.

At that time, I will not even have a chance to explain, and then I will be hacked to death by these guards!Especially... Liu Bei looked at Liu Biao lying on the bed at this time, breathing in and not breathing out. He was really worried that Liu Biao would die suddenly in the next moment-there was no one who could explain it for him. I can't wash it!

However, with so many scruples and irrationality, Liu Bei suddenly smoothed his brows, walked towards the servant gloomyly, and suddenly lit up the knife in his hand!

Hand up, knife down!
The servant didn't even have time to shout, and Liu Bei chopped off his head.The sharpness and courage of that knife seemed to have shocked the guards on the side, allowing the hot blood from the broken neck of the servant to stain their robes without wiping them, just staring at Liu Bei in a daze.

Liu Bei's expression remained unchanged, he picked up the head on the ground, and walked towards Liu Biao's bedside with the knife still dripping blood, letting the blood dripping from the man's head soak the brocade sewed with Shu silk: "My lord, my lord! The thief is dead."

"Okay!" Liu Biao's voice was full of energy, as if the light was shining, but Liu Bei could feel it completely, Liu Biao was not seriously ill at all.I saw Liu Biao lifted the brocade quilt, sat on the head of the bed and said, "Xuande is indeed a loyal man, such a taboo thing, I dare not regret it because of my dying entrustment!"

"Shi, Shi Jun..." Liu Bei was really taken aback by Liu Biao, hurriedly dropped the steel knife in his hand, and stammered, "You, are you safe?..."

Liu Biao waved his hand, and said in a sad tone, "How can there be nothing wrong? After taking poison for two years, he has already entered into a serious illness. If it is not the case this time, I really can't find out, it turned out to be that person who caused the trouble!"

"That person?" Liu Bei noticed the mystery in Liu Biao's sentence: "Do you mean that this person has someone behind him?"

"Of course someone ordered him to be a mere servant. He has no reason to harm me." Liu Biao didn't continue to reveal the identity of the person behind the scenes. It has become clear, and this time I know that Xuande is so loyal and courageous, I am even more relieved. Time is running out, please go back to Xuande, and quickly prepare and rectify the general. At that time, there will be chaos in Xiangyang, and Xuande will need to preside over the overall situation! "

Liu Bei was shocked. Liu Biao's last sentence, although he did not explicitly say that he would give up Jingzhou to him, but there was a vague meaning to it.Moreover, Liu Bei looked at Liu Biao's warm eyes at this moment, and nodded to himself with a smile, which was clearly a hint.At the moment, some understand that this is not the time to say more, so they calm down and leave.

As soon as Liu Bei left, after the guards packed up the servant's body and left, a voice came from behind Liu Biao's bed: "My lord, is this person really reliable? My subordinates clearly saw that he retreated before and then rushed towards him. The head of the bed clearly wants to take the lord hostage!"

Liu Biao didn't even turn his head, and replied helplessly: "In troubled times, only such people are suitable for survival. Liu Bei, it's a good knife..."

"Unfortunately, a good knife can hurt others, but it can also hurt yourself."
