"The eldest lady wants to move in with the eldest young master?"
Da Qiao was shocked by these words, and then he came to his senses. His face turned red at first and then he scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about! Why don't you hurry up and get ready..."
The maid turned pale with fright and hurriedly went to prepare. Not long after, she saw more than ten maids coming over and entering the room to pack their things.
Liu Qi stood up and said, "Let's go ahead and leave them to clean up here."
Da Qiao hummed and pulled Xiao Qiao to follow Liu Qi out of the room. The two maids behind him followed closely with their heads lowered.
Not long after, several people arrived outside Liu Qi's room. Liu Qi turned around and pointed to a room next to him and said to the two maids behind him: "Go and clean up this room, and let them move things inside later.
You ladies will live here from now on."
The two maids responded softly and entered the room.
Liu Qi turned around and looked at Da Qiao and said, "Go in and have a rest first." After saying that, he opened the door and walked in. Da Qiao pulled Xiao Qiao into the room and followed him.
Although Liu Qi was away on an expedition, he was not a careless person. Although the room was a bit messy, it was very organized. If it was really messy, Liu Qi would not dare to bring the two women into the room.
On the deck, Gan and Ning were deploying according to Liu Qi's instructions. Although there were some troubles, the three of them completed the task assigned by Liu Qi within an hour.
The three of them were particularly concerned about Liu Qi's safety. Wei Yan even played the role of Liu Qi himself. Gan Ning and Wang Yi also returned to Liu Qi's ship after the deployment. They each chose a room not far from Liu Qi's room.
, there are nearly a hundred Flying Tiger Guards hidden in the room that they have been hiding in all day long, and there are also nearly a hundred Flying Tiger Guards hidden in the surrounding rooms. If anything happens, they will rush to Liu Qi's room as soon as possible.
………………
Nanjun, Xu Shu and others finally arrived at Nanjun after several days of urgent march. When they arrived at Nanjun, it was not far from Xiangyang. It only took three days of urgent march to reach Xiangyang.
On the carriage, Xu Shu frowned, thinking about how to expand Liu Qi's power after returning to Xiangyang. The power above the court is not like marching and fighting, it is yours after defeating it. The power above the court is one
A kind of hidden force, the size of the force represents the size of the influence.
This kind of power is not static. It will change almost every time a major event occurs. This time Liu Qi returns victorious, some officials in Xiangyang will definitely turn to Liu Qi. Xu Shu is thinking about how to expand this hidden power to the greatest extent.
.
"Huh..." A horse neighed, and Ma Liang, dressed in Confucian robes, rode his horse to the side of the carriage and leaned down and said, "Military advisor Xiangyang has received urgent news."
"Oh." Xu Shu opened the curtains and said softly: "Bring it here." Ma Liang hurriedly handed the bamboo slips in his hand into the carriage.
"Go and ask General Ma to come." After reading the bamboo slips, Xu Shu pondered for a while and raised his head.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves sounded and Ma Zhong had already arrived in front of the carriage: "Military advisor." Ma Zhong bowed his hands towards the carriage.
"General Ma, please come in." Xu Shu looked at the bamboo slips in his hand and said solemnly.
"No." A strange look flashed in Ma Zhong's eyes, and he immediately got off the horse and boarded the carriage.
Xu Shu handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Ma Zhong. After Ma Zhong took the bamboo slip and read it, his heart sank. In just over a month, the situation in Xiangyang had become so serious, and the fighting had gradually become more obvious.
Returning the bamboo slips in his hand to Xu Shu, Ma Zhong said: "It's just what the military advisor ordered."
"Oh." Xu Shu laughed. He originally thought that Ma Zhong would immediately get up and go to reinforce Liu Qi when he saw the bamboo slips. Unexpectedly, Ma Zhong calmed down and thought highly of Ma Zhong in his heart. As a result, the bamboo slips Xu Shu said
: "The situation is getting more and more serious now. I originally thought that the Cai family would compromise if my lord did this, but I didn't expect their reaction to be so big. You immediately lead the Jin Yiwei to the ferry in Xiangyang to greet the lord, and hide before the lord lands ashore.
"
"I am humble enough to go to reinforce the lord, but I don't know what to do here?" Ma Zhong raised his head and said. Although he couldn't wait to go to reinforce Liu Qi, Xu Shu was very important to Liu Qi, and he had to consider Xu Shu's safety.
Xu Shu put the bamboo slips aside and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, there are a thousand soldiers and horses here. Little assassins can't break in. Besides, I also killed many people when I traveled around the world in my early years."
"No." Ma Zhong knew that Xu Shu had already thought of a countermeasure, so he got out of the carriage without asking. Not long after he got on his horse, he galloped away with a hundred royal guards.
After Ma Zhong left, Xu Shu looked at the bamboo slips aside again. The reason why Cai had such a big reaction this time was because Cai Mao was testing Liu Biao's bottom line. If Cai really sent an assassin to kill Liu Qi, Liu Biao's control over Xiangyang would be
, it is not difficult to know that the person behind the assassination of Liu Qi was Cai Mao.
The Cai family has become more peaceful in recent years, because Liu Biao is getting older and more jealous. If he accidentally violates Liu Biao's bottom line, Liu Biao will only make up his mind to get rid of the Cai family. Cai Mao can't
careless.,
Originally, Cai Hao wanted to continue like this, but the sudden rise of Liu Qi made Cai Hao feel the danger. Although he wanted to get rid of this danger, he was afraid of touching Liu Biao's bottom line, so Cai Hao would test like this. Cai Hao sent assassins but could not hide it from Liu Biao. If Liu Biao sent people forward
Cai Mao had to be careful when going to reinforce, but if Liu Biao ignored him, the next thing would be much easier.
After thinking for a while, he understood Cai Mao's intention, and Xu Shu sighed. Liu Qi's current power is still too weak. To Liu Qi, the Cai family is a behemoth.
There are many people in the Cai family who control the military, with a total number of soldiers and horses of nearly 100,000, and Cai Hao himself controls the navy in Jingzhou. Liu Biao is still alive, but once Liu Biao dies, no one in Jingzhou can suppress Cai Hao.
"It seems that time is running out." Xu Shu sighed. He must try his best to help Liu Qi increase his power in a short time.
"Command the army to rest." Xu Shu shouted to the outside of the carriage.
As soon as Xu Shu finished shouting, several messengers conveyed Xu Shu's order. Less than a dozen breathing troops before and after him stopped and set up camp.
Several generals who had returned to Xiangyang with the Chinese army gathered here in the main tent of the Chinese army. Xu Shu looked at the few people and said: "From today on, General Zhou's five hundred soldiers and horses will be the Chinese army, and General Liu's one thousand soldiers and horses will be in front."
, and General Ma led the remaining soldiers and horses to escort the grain, grass and baggage."
"promise."
After that, a series of orders were passed, and mass mobilization began. Many traps were secretly laid. As long as assassins came, there would be no return. Dozens of assassins were vulnerable to the army. What Xu Shu had to do was to kill these assassins.
