The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 379 Chapter 378
Guan Yu left Xiangyang City and walked for about fifteen miles. After making sure that no one followed, he let Cai Xin go.

Poor Cai Xin is a rich lady, and she wears relatively thin clothes. She is shivering in this icy and snowy place.

Guan Yu hadn't gone far, when he looked back and saw Cai Xin huddled together, trembling all over, seeing the strong north wind, he was afraid that Cai Xin would freeze to death, so he immediately turned his horse's head and threw away the overcoat he was wearing. Gave it to Cai Xin.

After that, Guan Yu didn't say anything, and rushed to Ershilipu with Liu Bei.

Wrapped in the overcoat thrown by Guan Yu, Cai Xin felt warm in his heart. As soon as he turned around, he saw Cai Mao chasing him with thousands of troops.

Seeing each other for two times, Cai Xin felt very wronged, and threw herself into Cai Mao's arms, crying like a baby.

Cai Hao comforted Cai Xin several times, and was about to send Cai Zhong, Cai He and others to arrest Guan Yu, but Cai Xin stopped him, saying that Guan Yu was only intimidated by a moment of embarrassment. When he left, he was afraid that he would freeze to death, so he left his coat to himself.

Cai Xin tried hard to persuade Cai Mao not to send troops to pursue him.Cai Xin was worried about his father and insisted that his father take the team back to Xiangyang City. When they arrived in the city, Cai Xin reckoned that Guan Yu had already gone far, so he was relieved.

Cai Mao lost the opportunity to arrest Liu Bei and Guan Yu because of his daughter Cai Xin's obstruction, but he refused to let it go, and immediately sued Liu Bei and Guan Yu to Liu Biao.

Cai Hao first came to his sister, Mrs. Cai, and told the ins and outs of the matter while crying.He said that he entertained Liu Bei and Guan Yu with good intentions, but who knew that these two men would molested Cai Mao's concubine while they were drunk, and they were caught.After the incident, Liu Bei and Guan Yu refused to be arrested again, and thus held their daughter Cai Xin hostage, scaring her daughter Cai Xin into a trance and unconsciousness.

As soon as Madam Cai heard this, she immediately took Cai Mao to find Liu Biao, and asked Cai Mao to tell Liu Biao the ins and outs of the matter.

After hearing this, Liu Biao was furious, and immediately sent someone to arrest Liu Bei and Guan Yu.But before the person he sent out walked through the threshold, Liu Biao seemed to think of something again, and immediately stopped the person, putting Liu Bei's matter on hold for now.

Mrs. Cai and Cai Mao were very surprised. Mrs. Cai hurriedly cried in front of Liu Biao about the persecution of her niece, hoping that Liu Biao could decide for her.

Liu Biao became impatient, and immediately said loudly: "Enough! Don't make trouble anymore! Xuande and Yunchang are both indomitable men, and they will never commit such despicable acts. I think there must be some What a misunderstanding. As for the matter of Cai Xin, I will definitely find a way to make up for it. This matter is over, and no one is allowed to mention it in the future. Well, I am tired, I want to rest, you all go down!"

Mrs. Cai and Cai Mao's faces were dull, and they retreated resentfully.After leaving Liu Biao's room, Cai Mao asked, "Sister, brother-in-law doesn't seem to believe what we said..."

"Whether he believes it or not, you just need to step up and do your best to get rid of Liu Bei for me. Did Liu Qi think that with Liu Bei as his backer, I couldn't do anything to him? As long as Liu Bei is killed, Liu Qi won't be able to make any big waves. !” Madam Cai said.

Cai Mao thought for a while and said: "Sister, in fact, if you want to bring down Liu Qi, you don't have to kill Liu Bei. Since Liu Bei served as the governor of Jingnan, he has managed the four counties of Jingnan in an orderly manner, and there are still some people under his account. Yu and Zhang Fei are invincible brave generals. In addition, even Huang Zhong is at his disposal. Jingnan is guarded by him, so you can rest assured. And if you want to kill Liu Bei, I'm afraid it won't be so It is easy to attack. Not to mention that Liu Bei is always accompanied by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Even if he is alone, outsiders cannot get close. What I mean is that instead of killing him, it is better to try to recruit him , and bring him to our front, we can isolate Liu Qi."

After Mrs. Cai heard this, she suddenly reprimanded: "What do you know! Liu Bei is by no means a simple character. Even if he supports Cong'er, after a hundred years of Liu Biao, who will be able to subdue Liu Bei? Killing him can save future troubles." .Before Liu Bei is fledgling, get rid of him as soon as possible. As for Liu Biao, I will take care of everything.”

Cai Mao said "Here" and said to Mrs. Cai: "Sister, there is a person under my tent who is very skilled in martial arts, no less than Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and others. I plan to send him to Changsha to assassinate Liu Bei. Once Successfully assassinating Liu Bei will save you a lot of trouble."

Mrs. Cai said: "I don't care what method you use, in short, get rid of Liu Bei as soon as possible!"

"Here!"

……

Ershilipu, outside Xiangyang City, is a small town. Due to the freezing weather, the snow on the ground has not melted, and it has accumulated thickly on the ground, blocking all roads.

However, Ershilipu Li is very lively. The streets in the town are all paved with blue bricks, there are many shops, and the bustling crowd is endless in the town.

This is a small market town in the south of Xiangyang City, where there are many merchants. Even the severe cold weather does not dampen the fiery trading in the town.

Ershilipu is a front stop to Xiangyang City. Many merchants from Jingnan, Jiaozhou, Yizhou, and Yangzhou gather here. Due to many restrictions in Xiangyang City, many merchants regard this place as a trading place. Once I meet a suitable buyer or seller, I don't want to go to Xiangyang City anymore, and ship directly here.

When he came here, Liu Bei's drunkenness had been awakened by the cold wind, and when he heard Guan Yu talking about what happened in Cai Mao's mansion, he felt a lingering fear in his heart.If Guan Yu hadn't pretended to be drunk, I'm afraid he would never have escaped Cai Mao's deliberate arrangement. Once the stolen goods were obtained, he might have been framed by Cai Mao and thrown into prison by this time. Even Liu Biao would not have believed him!
Liu Bei thanked Guan Yu repeatedly, and felt that it was the right choice to bring Guan Yu with him during this trip to Xiangyang.

After the two entered Ershilipu, they went directly to the Gaosheng Inn, where they made an appointment with Liu Qi and Yi Ji.

Liu Qi and Yi Ji had left Xiangyang City early and had already arrived here, but Liu Bei and Guan Yu were still missing, and they were very anxious.

Due to his special status, Liu Qi did not dare to show his face in public, and he only let Yiji do everything for him.

In the Tianzi No. [-] room of the Gaosheng Inn, Liu Qi was waiting there anxiously. There was no news about Liu Bei and Guan Yu. He had a very bad premonition that something unexpected would happen to Liu Bei.

While he was worried, Yi Ji came back from the outside, and Liu Qi hurried forward and asked, "Mr. Yi Ji, have you found it?"

With a gloomy face, Yi Ji shook his head helplessly, and said slowly: "I didn't find any trace of them..."

"Could it be that something unexpected happened?" Liu Qi guessed.

Yi Ji said: "No, the lord is followed by Guan Yu. Guan Yu is invincible. With him by his side, nothing will happen to the lord. Even if something happens, Guan Yu will protect the lord."

"It's been so long, why..." Liu Qi stopped here and couldn't go on.

Yi Ji was also at a loss. Although his words were full of confidence, he began to worry about the safety of Liu Bei and Guan Yu in his heart.

No matter how powerful Guan Yu is, he is still alone, but Cai Mao has tens of thousands of confidants in Xiangyang City...

When Liu Qi and Yi Ji were worried, someone knocked on the door suddenly: "Boom, boom, boom..."

"Who!" Liu Qi and Yi Ji became nervous at the same time and asked in unison.

"I, Guan Yunchang!" A deep voice came from outside the door.

Both Liu Qi and Yi Ji smiled happily, and immediately went to open the door. The door was open, but seeing Liu Bei and Guan Yu standing outside the door, they said excitedly: "Come in!"

Liu Bei and Guan Yu entered the room. When Yi Ji closed the door, he poked his head around and looked around. Seeing that there was no suspicious person, he closed the door with confidence.

"Uncle! My nephew has been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come here? Did something happen on the way?" Liu Qi hurried forward and said with great concern.

Liu Bei first sighed heavily, and then told Liu Qi and Yi Ji all the ins and outs of the matter.

After hearing this, Liu Qi and Yi Ji were very angry, especially Liu Qi, his teeth were itchy with hatred, and he said angrily, "I knew that this Cai Mao must have no good intentions, they are trying to frame uncle!"

Yi Ji said: "Since Cai Hao has already started to attack the lord, it means that Cai Hao should have known about the fact that the lord is secretly helping the eldest son, and the lord needs to be more careful in what he does in the future. In addition, the eldest son should Be careful, lest anything fall into Cai Mao's hands."

Liu Qi asked curiously: "I have been in secret contact with my uncle, and very few people know about it. How did Cai Mao and the others know?"

Liu Bei said: "There is no impenetrable wall. Maybe we have always been surrounded by people placed by Cai Hao. After we go back this time, we will check each other first, and we must pay more attention to the communication in the future. From today on, we will communicate with each other in the future." Chen Dao is in charge of everything, and no one else can believe it!"

Liu Qi nodded.

After that, the four of them got together for a while, and after about a stick of incense, they left separately. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Yi Ji returned to Jingnan, and Liu Qi secretly returned to Jiangxia.

On the way back, Liu Qi kept thinking that his contact with Liu Bei had been kept secret. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Liu Qi always contacted the envoy sent by Liu Bei in person. It can be said that it was difficult for outsiders to know.If someone wants to know his whereabouts and is secretly watching him, then Jiangxia County where he lives is an extremely dangerous place, which means that Cai Mao's people are all around him.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi sighed for a while, and felt sad again.When leaving Ershilipu, Liu Qi had been riding aimlessly. After walking for less than a mile, he suddenly saw a thinly dressed boy lying on the snow in front of him. The boy was about 17 years old, more than I am a few years younger, but I look extremely handsome.

Liu Qi was a kind man, so he jumped off the saddle immediately, and after a lot of effort, he lifted the man onto the horse's back. Then he found a ruined temple nearby, lit a bonfire, and set the man on fire. heap side.

The man gradually felt warm and slowly came to his senses. Seeing Liu Qi waiting by his side, he wriggled his lips and asked, "Where is this place?"

"This is Jingzhou, Ershilipu. Little brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Sima Yi!" The man replied weakly.
