"Mother!" After Liu Cong became anxious, he stood up quickly and called Mrs. Cai. Liu Qi, who saw that things might go wrong with this woman's tears, also immediately stopped him and said: "Er mother, do you want to go back to your room and have a rest?"
ah?"
Liu Qi knew that his father was indecisive and couldn't resist Cai's tears, so he tried his best to stop her. He couldn't let a woman's tears ruin his career and future at this last moment.
But at this time, no one was willing to delve into why Cai was so rude and excited. Cai's behavior had attracted the attention of Liu Biao, Liu Qi, Liu Cong, Kuai Yue and everyone present. At this time, almost all eyes were on her.
Some people were worried, some were nervous, and some were heartbroken, but no one knew why Ms. Cai was crying.
Cai's tears suddenly seemed to be overflowing. She looked at Liu Biao and cried without emotion. Liu Biao also looked at Cai with tears in his eyes, as if he was about to melt. So Liu Qi's opinion and the embarrassment of the whole audience were all gone.
Not aware.
Who said that an old husband and a young wife have no feelings? At least at this moment, Liu Biao felt that the relationship between him and Mr. Cai, an old husband and a young wife, was sincere.
Just when Liu Biao felt guilty and sorry for Cai, Cai Lihua burst into tears and cried: "Jingsheng...I...I am sorry for you..."
Cai Lihua ignored the call of her "son" Liu Cong who was about to come forward to comfort her, covered her face with tears in the hall and ran to the rear passage.
Cai's actions immediately attracted the attention of more guests in the hall, and even affected the atmosphere of the scene.
Liu Biao and Liu Cong, who had already taken the throne, stared blankly at her retreating back and disappeared into the darkness of the back hall passage, both showing helplessness.
Just as Liu Cong was about to chase Cai, Liu Biao grabbed him. While squeezing out his last tear, he loudly said, "Let her go! This kind of thing cannot be forced."
After listening to this, Liu Cong showed a strange expression on his slightly childish face, slowly sat back on the table, and said with a wry smile: "Father is right!"
Compared with Liu Cong's expression of disappointment and resignation, Liu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had never felt the greatness and strength of his father Liu Biao like he did today. He was not softened by Cai's tears. This was such an important time for Liu Biao.
Sticking to the original intention was such an important fateful decision for Liu Qi. Perhaps only at this moment, Liu Qi still felt lucky. As for the woman not being able to accept this upcoming "fact", it was normal. Liu Qi was not satisfied with Cai's sudden change.
I didn't realize there was anything wrong with my departure and my words when I left.
All the guests in the hall were already concentrating at this time, no longer paying attention to the delicious food and wine in front of them. They put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, and all their eyes spared no effort to look at Liu Biao on the main seat. It was like this, in the end.
The important moment is coming, and whatever is supposed to happen will happen sooner or later. At this time, the entire banquet hall probably had the same understanding of Cai's behavior as Liu Qi did, and no one felt anything special.
With the support of his attendants, Liu Biao wiped away the last drop of his emotional tears. Looking at the situation in the hall, he knew it was time to announce the most important agenda of the day.
Liu Biao coughed lightly in a deep voice, picked up the wine bottle that symbolized his status, waved it to the officials in the hall, mustered up all the strength in his body, and said loudly: "I want you to gather together today, and I have two things to tell you.
Consult and announce!"
After Liu Biao finished speaking this important opening statement, he had to take a break. After gathering his strength again, he continued the topic: "This first thing... uh..."
As soon as Liu Biao said these important words, something strange happened. He suddenly shook his big hand holding the bottle, and the wine bottle fell to the ground. There was a "ding-dong!" sound, and the wine in the bottle splashed all over the floor. Then Liu Biao suddenly touched his throat, and his eyes suddenly widened.
Horrible.
Liu Qi, Liu Cong and Kuai Yue, who were closest, saw Liu Biao's expression and their expressions changed at the same time.
Liu Qi and Liu Cong both took a step forward and held Liu Biao's arms. Liu Qi even asked in shock: "Father, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Liu Biao ignored his son's greetings, his expression suddenly changed, and he clenched his throat with his hands, "hehe" and was speechless, with a look of fear in his eyes.
Then Liu Biao shook a little, big beads of sweat flowed down his forehead, and drool came out of the corners of his mouth. The shape was extremely terrifying.
At this time, many people had gathered around, shouting "Lord, what's wrong with you? General, are you okay? Please call the doctor quickly" and other random words.
The military general might be used to seeing horrible things. When Wenpin stood up and squeezed into the crowd, he glanced at Liu Cong, who had the same pale face, and Liu Qi, who was holding the poisonous-haired Liu Biao, and said in a trembling voice: "Master!
What is this?"
"Relapse, my lord may have a relapse of his condition. Hurry, go and call the madam, call the doctor..."
The person who answered Wenpin's words was not Liu Qi and Liu Cong, who were stunned by the unexpected situation before them, but Kuai Yue, who currently held half of the actual power in Xiangyang.
Wenpin was stunned for a moment and immediately said coldly: "Everyone, step back and quickly go ask the madam and the doctor. Everything here will be handled by the two young masters. You two young masters, please listen to what the lord has to say!"
Wenpin's opinion was correct, and it was obvious that he knew from Liu Biao's expression that Liu Biao might die at any time, so he asked the two young masters to approach Liu Biao to hear his last words or explanations, because after all, Liu Biao's main purpose today was to explain clearly.
The future of Jingzhou and the affairs of the "Crown Son".
Liu Qi was the first to react, "Oh!" He hurriedly leaned down, put his ear close to Liu Biao's mouth and asked urgently: "Father, what do you have to explain? Say it quickly, say it quickly, we are all listening.
!”
At this time, Liu Qi had no time to think about why Liu Biao, who was fine just now, suddenly became like this. He only knew that he had to fight for this possible last chance to confirm his status as the heir apparent, so as to avoid long nights and nightmares. As long as there are so many officials testifying for him,
From now on, I won’t be afraid that my brother Liu Cong will go to heaven.
But at this time, Liu Biao was speechless and could not speak. He heard Liu Qi's urgent question, but he could not speak, so he just pointed at Liu Cong who was standing aside, "Haha!" he roared.
But no one understands what he wants to express.
Just when Liu Qi was sweating profusely with anxiety, the doctor sent to summon him came flying in, followed by Mr. Cai with disheveled hair and tears on his face.
"Husband, Jingsheng, you can't abandon our mother and son like this..."
"What's going on? Brother-in-law, lord..."
When Cai Shi pounced on Liu Biao's body, Cai Mao's voice blew into the huge hall like a hurricane.
What is he here for? How did he come?
The continuous stream of questions instantly made Liu Qi's mind go blank. And just when Cai Mao's figure appeared in front of Liu Biao, Liu Biao, who looked frightened, grabbed Cai's arm with one hand, and tried to reach out to Liu Biao with the other hand, who Cai Mao grabbed hard in front of him. Suddenly, Liu Biao suddenly appeared.
After his body trembled violently, his hands weakly let go. In the process of falling backward, the man took his last breath of life.
"Ah...Father..."
"Husband..."
"Lord..."
After the doctor confirmed that Liu Biao was dead, the hall immediately fell into a sea of miserable weeping.
Everyone didn't understand how Liu Biao could die suddenly just because he wanted to. They didn't understand Liu Biao's expression and meaning before he died. All they could do at this time was burst into tears that were worthless.
Amidst the miserable cries, Liu Qi felt his whole body numb. He felt a terrible feeling for the first time in his life. This kind of horror came from around him, and he had clearly felt it.
Liu Qi could no longer wait, he wanted to fight for the power and status that belonged to him immediately.
"Someone is coming!"
As soon as Liu Qi finished speaking, all the screens in the hall suddenly fell down, revealing the soldiers behind them who were fully armed and holding crossbows.
While everyone in the hall was stunned, Liu Qi was even more surprised. The "person" he called was nothing more than a servant or a servant. Unexpectedly, the person he called out was actually a room full of soldiers.
"you……"
Before Liu Qi's surprised words of inquiry were uttered, he heard the loud "噌噌噌"" sound of soldiers outside the hall, and the rumble of hundreds of soldiers. He immediately drove into the banquet living room, stood silently in a circle of the hall, and unsheathed his sword.
There were many spears, all pointing at the people in the hall.
Everyone in the room was surprised and retreated one after another with looks of horror on their faces. At this time, a man silently walked up to the soldiers, turned around, and glanced at everyone in the hall with cold eyes.
This person was none other than Cai Hao, who was the last one to arrive at the banquet hall.
"Cai Hao, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? Oh, I understand, you guys, you have already planned it. Your father was killed by you, right?" Liu Qi, who was a little stunned, pointed at Cai Hao, while Liu Conghe was still lying on Liu Biao's side.
The pained Cai on the corpse accused.
Liu Qi's accusation seemed true to many people in this living room, at least on the surface. But Cai Hao would definitely not admit it. He snorted expressionlessly and asked: "Liu Qi, don't hold back."
Blood spurts out, what evidence do you have?"
"You arranged all the soldiers in this hall, right?" Liu Qi pointed directly at Cai Mao's vital points.
"Yes!" Cai Mao's unabashed admission made countless people in the hall change their expressions, but Cai Mao's subsequent words made them fall into thinking and hesitation.
"This is the lord's arrangement!" This was Cai Mao's explanation, and he went on to say: "The lord is worried that when he announces the second son Liu Cong as the 'Crown Prince' today, you will rebel in court, so he ordered me to arrange for swordsmen and axes to be here to prevent
Don’t worry before it happens!”
"Fart, my father has clearly said that he wants me to inherit his legacy, so how can he talk about Liu Cong succeeding to the throne?" Liu Qi retorted.
"What is the evidence?" Cai Hao continued to ask coldly.
"Kuai Yue, Liu Bei, both of them were present when my father expressed these thoughts. Mr. Kuai, please come out!" Liu Qi looked at Cai Hao coldly, neither arrogant nor humble, and spoke eloquently. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Kuai in the crowd.
cross.
Kuai Yue responded, holding out his chest upright, pointing at Cai who was holding Liu Biao's body in pain, and said: "My lord has just passed away, and the two young masters are here to compete for the succession of the "eldest son", whether it is a right to the deceased.
