The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 524 Chapter 523 Liu Bei's fate (11)

Sima Yi came to the place where Liu Biao lived in the inner mansion. This is a piece of paradise after Liu Biao abdicated. He lived here and didn't care about anything else. He just raised his young son Liu Cong with peace of mind.

Therefore, Liu Qi also divided the mansion into inner and outer mansions. Liu Qi lived in the outer mansion, and Liu Biao lived in the inner mansion. No one was allowed to disturb him, and he was allowed to spend his old age peacefully in the inner mansion.

However, who would have thought that Liu Biao would encounter a sudden disaster and be assassinated.

Before Sima Yi walked into Liu Biao's room, he heard Liu Qi's wailing from a long way away. When he got closer, Liu Qi was already in tears, heartbroken, and even cried several times to the point of death went.

Liu Qi lost his mother since he was a child, and it was his father who brought him up, and during the ten years he grew up, his father never reunited, just because he was afraid of causing inconvenience to Liu Qi.It wasn't until Liu Qi grew up and Liu Biao came to Jingzhou that under the circumstances at that time, he chose a political marriage, married the daughter of the local wealthy Cai family, and relied on Cai's reputation in Jingzhou to work for him.

At first, Liu Biao was full of praise for Cai's virtuousness. Although he was only a few years older than Liu Qi, he loved Liu Qi as his own son.However, as Cai became pregnant and gave birth to her own son, and Cai Mao interfered with it, Cai's love was completely transferred to her son, so she hated Liu Qi in every possible way, and even wanted to kill Liu Qi.The purpose is to make his son Liu Biao's future successor.

Since ancient times, the elders and younger ones have been orderly, and it is also for this reason that Cai felt that if Liu Qi was not eliminated, his son would have no hope, and he kept saying bad things about Liu Qi in Liu Biao's ear.

However, Liu Biao believed in Liu Qi as always, and loved Liu Qi even more, but in the end, under various pressures, he chose a mansion for Liu Qi in Xiangyang City as Liu Qi's home.

However, Liu Biao's concession did not bring Cai's peace of mind, but became more rampant. They took this incident as a signal, thinking that as long as they were in Jingzhou, even Liu Biao would depend on Cai's face.So the Cai family intensified their efforts to get rid of Liu Qi, and it was through Liu Biao's hands.

But in Liu Biao's heart, Liu Qi is very important to him. He has worked hard to raise Liu Qi, and he is his eldest son. He does not allow anyone to harm him.And Liu Biao also began to realize that Cai's real purpose was not to drive Liu Qi away, but to put Liu Qi to death.From then on, Liu Biao began his subtle struggle, and used various means to weaken the expansion of Cai's power.

And all of this, Liu Qi understands that father and son love deeply, now that his father was accidentally stabbed to death, how could Liu Qi not feel sad.

Sima Yi saw Liu Qi crying so heartbrokenly, and then looked at Liu Biao, who was dying, walked up behind Liu Qi, and said to Liu Qi: "My lord, people cannot be resurrected after death, please be patient!"

"It wasn't your father who died. If it were you, would you be able to treat him with such a normal heart?" Liu Qi shouted hysterically at Sima Yi, looking extremely angry.

Sima Yi didn't care. Although he hadn't been in contact with Liu Qi for a long time, he knew Liu Qi well enough.Liu Qi can be said to be an extremely simple person, and even a little naive. The moment Sima Yi met Liu Qi, he thought to himself, how could there be such a simple person in this world.How can such a person adapt to the cruelty of this era.

However, for Sima Yi, a person like Liu Qi can gain Liu Qi's trust more easily because of his simplicity.Facts have proved that since Liu Qi got Sima Yi, he has trusted Sima Yi a lot, and he can even call him a brother, and he also obeys Sima Yi's words.

Sima Yi felt that Liu Qi was in a fit of anger and probably wouldn't listen to what he said, so he ignored Liu Qi, but turned to the captain of the guard and said, "Send someone to call the four generals Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong immediately. Besides, go to Kuai Mansion again and call Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang together."

The captain of the guard said "Here", and immediately sent someone to call for someone. Immediately afterwards, Sima Yi gave orders to everyone present to start cleaning up the scene and lift up Liu Biao's body. After all, Liu Biao died on the couch. On the one hand, it is a little unsightly, because beside Liu Biao, a woman died.

Sima Yi pulled Liu Qi up, and began to have people clean up the scene, and sent people to track down the assassins with all their strength, sealed off the city gates, and took down any suspicious people immediately.

Liu Biao was assassinated and died, this matter is no small matter, and Sima Yi also asked people to block the news, not allowing anyone to leak it, if anyone dared to disobey the order, just wait for their heads to fall.

In addition, Sima Yi also ordered people to seal off the entire mansion, the servants and maidservants in the mansion were not allowed to leave, and those who had not been summoned were not allowed to enter the mansion.

From Sima Yi's point of view, the assassin must not have left Xiangyang now. As long as all the gates of the city are sealed off, the patrol team is strengthened, and the search for a needle in a haystack is carried out overnight, the assassin will definitely have nowhere to hide.

After about a stick of incense, the crime scene was thoroughly cleaned up, Liu Biao was rearranged, his staring eyes were closed, he was changed into new clothes, he was placed in the coffin, and A mourning hall was set up in the mansion, and Liu Biao's coffin was placed in the mourning hall, and Liu Qi was allowed to go there to observe his filial piety.

Not long after, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wenpin, Li Tong, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and others all came from outside. As soon as they entered the mansion, they could immediately feel that something was wrong in the mansion, and the defense force was strengthened a lot , Three steps and one post, five steps and one post, the guards are extremely strict.

When they came to the mourning hall, they were taken aback. Liu Qi knelt on the ground and wept loudly. Sima Yi and several guard captains from the government office stood beside him, their faces also solemn. There was a coffin in the middle of the mourning hall. After looking at each other in blank dismay, they all secretly speculated, is Liu Biao dead?

When they walked into the mourning hall, they saw the people lying in the coffin, which also confirmed the speculation in their letter that Liu Biao was indeed dead.

Liu Biao has always been free from disasters and diseases, so how could he suddenly die suddenly?
Everyone was suspicious. At this time, Sima Yi came over and whispered to everyone: "The old master was assassinated and killed. Now the assassin has absconded and is hunting with all his strength."

Everyone was amazed, Liu Biao had retreated behind the scenes, who had such a deep hatred for him, and wanted to assassinate him?
"Could it be the remnants of Cai's party?" Kuai Yue asked suddenly.

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "The assassin has not been caught yet, and all motives are unclear. There are many possibilities, but it cannot be ruled out that the remnants of Cai's party did it..."

"General Huang, General Wei, General Wen, and General Li, the reason why I called you here in such a hurry is that I want you to immediately mobilize your troops and strengthen the defenses of the gates of Xiangyang City. The patrol team will carry out a large-scale search and arrest in the city, even if they dig three feet, they must find this assassin." Sima Yi said.

Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin and Li Tong all nodded and responded in unison.

Sima Yi said: "You each took your soldiers and horses, and searched from house to house in the city overnight, saying that you discovered the remnants of Cai's party, and those who harbored them privately are guilty of the same crime as Cai's party!"

"Here!"

The four people took the order, turned around and left, while Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang stayed in the mourning hall, first worshiped Liu Biao, and then began to appease Liu Qi.

At the same time, Chen Dao, who escaped from the government office, was trying his best to escape from Xiangyang City. He killed the wrong person, failed the mission, and threatened the snake. Next, Xiangyang City will definitely strengthen its security, and Liu Qi will also strengthen its defense. Think again It will be very difficult to attack Liu Qi.

The only thing Chen Dao wants to do now is to return to Liu Bei's side quickly, tell Liu Bei about this matter, and let Liu Bei punish himself.

However, after Chen Dao left the government office, he found that the patrol team in the city had been strengthened a lot, and there were guards holding torches everywhere. They were in teams of ten and kept shuttling through the streets and alleys of the city, leaving no one behind. any dead ends.

Chen Dao managed to escape more than a dozen patrols and arrived at the gate of the city. From a distance, he saw that the city gate had also strengthened its defenses. It was impossible to escape from the city.

With no other choice, Chen Dao had no choice but to retreat into the city again, but facing the blanket search of the army in the city, he had nowhere to hide.At this moment, Chen Dao suddenly had an idea and remembered a place, that is Cai Mao's former residence, which has now become Sima Yi's residence. Sima Yi was favored by Liu Qi. After searching all over the place, it is undoubtedly a very good place. hiding place.

Moreover, it occupies a very large area and there are many houses, which makes it easier for him to hide.

So Chen Dao quickly went to Sima Yi's mansion. After avoiding more than a dozen patrol teams on the way, Chen Dao came to this mansion.Sima Yi's mansion had no guards or servants, only one room was lit, and that was where his housekeeper, Jin Yiwei Zhou Yuncong, lived.

Sima Yi didn't set up guards because it was for the convenience of Zhou Yuncong's activities, which reduced a lot of scruples.It is also convenient for him to discuss things with Zhou Yuncong, and he no longer has to worry about anything.

Nowadays, it's cheaper here. Chen arrived.There was a smile on the corner of Chen Dao's mouth, he easily climbed over the courtyard wall, walked into the mansion, and then found a room with no one at random, hid in it, and let the wind and rain outside, the storm, he Inside it was safe and sound.As for the place where Sima Yi lives, everyone knows that this is a ghost land, and many members of the Cai family died here.In addition, Sima Yi was a celebrity around Liu Qi, even though the patrol team passed by, they didn't dare to go in and search directly.

In this way, Chen Dao hid here until dawn, and he didn't wake up until his stomach growled and he felt hungry.
