"Where is Song Zhong?" Liu Biao was quite satisfied with the outcome of the discussion and shouted immediately...
"It's a humble job." After hearing Liu Biao's scolding, an official in his thirties ran out.
"You go immediately to greet Qi'er and tell him that I am very satisfied this time and will definitely reward him heavily when he comes back." Liu Biao said directly above.
"No." Song Zhong immediately stood up and left.
Seeing Song Zhong leaving, Liu Biao also stood up and left, followed by the people in the main hall who dispersed in twos and threes. Cai Mao was surrounded by more than ten officials, all of whom were loyal to Cai.
Looking at the Yiji people who were laughing and talking not far away, Cai Hao snorted and stepped forward and said: "Uncle Yi Ji is very capable. I have learned a lesson today."
Seeing that Cai Mao and others looked unkind, Yi Ji didn't care at all and still smiled and said: "Commander Cai is so grateful. How can I compare with the military counselor with my little plan?"
"I hope you can still laugh next time." After saying that, he waved his sleeves and led a few people away.
Looking at the backs of Cai Hao and others, Yi Ji smiled and said nothing. Li Gui snorted coldly and said: "This Cai Hao is getting more and more arrogant. He dares to threaten Uncle Ji in this hall."
"That's right, Uncle Ji, you have to be careful. Uncle Ji has already broken up with him today. This Cai Hao is so scheming that he will never take risks. The power of the Cai family cannot be underestimated." The official next to Li Gui stepped forward and said.
Yi Ji waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Although Cai Mao is arrogant, he doesn't dare to attack me in Xiangyang City. Besides, I don't have the slightest ability to fight back."
After hearing this, several people felt relieved. Yiji was proficient in the six arts. Not only was he extraordinary in literary talent, but he was also not weak in swordsmanship.
"Cai Mao will definitely not give up after suffering a loss this time. He still needs to inform the eldest son to be careful. Although there are Flying Tiger Guards, with the power of the Cai family, they will definitely be able to find some people who are proficient in the art of assassination."
Li Gui was a little worried.
"Yes, there is no room for any mistakes in the matter of the eldest son. At this time, the eldest son must be notified immediately." Yi Ji's face was also a little solemn. Feihuwei is good at charging into battle, but it is difficult to say whether it is effective against assassins.
Assassins are rampant within five steps. Even a swordsman with extraordinary skill will die if he is not careful when facing an assassin, let alone an army sergeant.
Looking up and seeing Kuai Yue passing by, Yi Ji cupped his hands and said, "Yidu, what do you think of this matter?"
Kuai Yue turned around, glanced at Yi Ji and said calmly: "Everything is free, the Lord makes his decision." After saying that, he walked away without waiting for anyone to ask further questions.
"What a pity." Yi Ji shook his head and sighed. He originally wanted to test Kuai Yue's attitude. Now it seems that Kuai Yue has made it clear that the two are not helping each other, but Yi Ji does not think that Kuai Yue is really not helping each other.
If Kuai and Yue are really not helping each other, no matter whether Liu Qi or Liu Cong succeeds to the throne, they will not let go of the Kuai family.
The official on the side said, "Kuai Yue can really keep his composure. Isn't he afraid that one bad person will offend both parties?"
Li Gui shook his head and said: "Xiandu has a gap in his chest. He must have had a plan in his heart, and he is only waiting for the critical moment to express his position. Moreover, there is the Kuai clan behind him. If one of them is not good, he may die."
The official sighed: "It seems that the aristocratic family is not as simple as they thought."
Yi Ji nodded and said: "Although you are born into a wealthy family and can afford good food and clothing, you also shoulder responsibilities. It is fair to gain and lose."
………………
Cai Mansion, in the study.
More than ten officials are all gathered here, and the housekeeper of the Cai Mansion is personally guarding the door. It is obvious that they have important matters to discuss.
Looking at the dull study room, Zhang Yun put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Cai Mao: "Military advisor, it seems that Liu Qi has already started to attack us. This time I was not prepared, so I took over in a hurry and they took advantage of me."
, I have to be careful in the future, otherwise I will be the meat on the chopping board."
"Yes, military advisor, Liu Qi actually dared to attack the Huang family this time. It might be us next time."
"Prefect Huang is leading the troops outside and is our powerful foreign aid. If we don't fight back, we may suffer even greater losses this time."
Compared to the Huang family, their family is far inferior. Now Liu Qi has suddenly removed one of the pillars of the Huang family, which makes them all a little frightened.
Lifting his head and looking at the crowd, Cai Hao said with a stern face: "Don't worry, everyone, this Liu Qi dares to touch the Huang family without overestimating his own capabilities. He will know what it means to steal chicken but lose rice. The Huang family has been operating in Jingzhou for hundreds of years.
How can he shake it? The Huang family has not made any move yet, but with the strength of the Huang family, the counterattack will definitely be fierce."
Since the first generation Huang Xiang became an official, the Huang family has continued to have talented people for the next two hundred years. It has always been a powerful family in the Eastern Han Dynasty and has a high prestige among the scholars.
Many officials in Jingzhou have a close relationship with the Huang clan. The reason why four or five people came in and out today to speak to Huang Zu is because Huang Zu’s popularity among the Dahuang clan is not good, and the Huang clan is still
No decision has been made on this matter. However, once a decision is made, the entire Xiangyang City will be shocked, and hundreds of officials will claim to be sick and unable to come out just by Huang's words.
Although the Cai family is powerful, it has only happened in the past few decades. If his father was not good at maneuvering, the Cai family would not be in such a situation.
Cai Xi, the father of Cai Mao, his elder sister was married to Captain Zhang Wen, his eldest daughter was married to Huang Chengyan, the leader of the Huang clan, and his youngest daughter was married to Liu Biao, which shows Cai Xi's ability.
Precisely because he knew the background of the Huang clan, Cai Mao compromised temporarily and waited for the Huang clan's thunderous blow.
"Is what the military advisor said true? The Huang clan has always kept a low profile. How could they offend Liu Qi because of Huang Zu?" An official couldn't believe it. After all, the Huang clan has not heard of any powerful figures except Huang Zu.
.
Seeing that everyone was confused, Cai Mao said: "Don't worry, my brother-in-law is low-key, but his methods are not weak. You can rest assured."
After hearing this, everyone remembered that the head of the Huang clan was married to the Cai clan, and several people felt relieved.
After a while, everyone left, and there were only four or five people left in the study, Cai Hao, Zhang Yun, and Cai Zhong. These four or five people were all direct relatives of the Cai family. Zhang Yun asked doubtfully: "Do you, the Huang family, really know how to take action?"
Cai Mao sighed and shook his head: "I don't know either, but this is just a test. As for dealing with Liu Qi, I have never thought of relying on others." "What do you want to do, brother?" Cai Zhong asked.
Cai Hao pondered for a moment and said: "The guards in black haven't moved their muscles for a long time, let them go."
The expressions of several people on the side changed. Even Zhang Yun turned pale. The black-clothed guards were death warriors trained by the Cai family. These people were all ruthless people who killed people without batting an eyelid and regarded killing people as food. In the past, the Cai family had eliminated them.
The black guards were always used to defeat enemies. As the Cai family became more and more powerful, the black guards were gradually rarely used anymore.
