Seeing Ma Zhong stepping forward with his sword, Cai Yun flashed a trace of panic in his eyes, but then he disappeared and forced himself to calm down: "Liu Qi, don't make a mistake. Our Cai clan is the largest clan in Jingzhou, and it will do you no good to offend us.
"
"Hmph! Ms. Cai has been deeply offended a long time ago. There is no room for change." Liu Qi disapproved of Cai Yun's words in his heart. During the last expedition, Liu Qi had already killed Cai Yun's father, and he just happened to get rid of Cai Yun at this time. Cai Mao
Wanting to assassinate him to frighten the officials in Xiangyang City, he killed Cai Yun to frighten those who opposed him.
"Don't come here. If it weren't for my Cai clan, how could your Liu clan have established a foothold in Jingzhou? But now you want to attack my Cai clan, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by everyone in the world?" Cai Yu took a step back and said in a panic.
"Kill!" Liu Qi ignored Cai Yun's words and ordered Ma Zhong to step forward and kill him.
"My lord, General Wang Wei, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, has come to support us." At this moment, Wei Yan came over on horseback and said.
When he heard that Wang Wei had arrived, Cai Yun's face was filled with joy. However, he saw Ma Zhong, holding a long sword, stepped forward fiercely, raised the sword and beheaded Cai Yun on the spot. To the end of his life, Cai Yun did not believe that Liu Qi really dared to kill him.
.
"Lord," Ma Zhong said, holding Cai Yun's head.
"Throw it into the river to feed the fish." Liu Qi said in disgust.
"No." Ma Zhong immediately ordered people to throw Cai Yun's head and body into the river.
Song Zhong on the side sighed and said nothing when he saw Liu Qi being so ruthless and decisive. Speaking of which, he and the Cai family were already incompatible.
"General Wang is here." Ma Zhong whispered beside Liu Qi.
Liu Qi raised his head and saw Wang Wei, who was dressed in military uniform and leading several people, approaching. Not far away, nearly a thousand Flying Tiger troops were stationed there under tight security.
"Young Master." Wang Wei looked Liu Qi up and down. Seeing that Liu Qi was fine, Wang Wei clasped his fists and said.
"General Wang, you're welcome." Liu Qi cupped his hands and smiled, feeling a lot more relieved. He was very relieved that Wang Wei could come to rescue him.
"Haha, I heard that the eldest son was assassinated, and the general came to the rescue on the order of the lord. Unexpectedly, he arrived too late." Wang Wei looked at the blood stains still remaining on the ground around him, and naturally knew that Liu Qi and others had resisted the assassin's assassination.
, he also admired Liu Qi a little more in his heart. In his opinion, although Liu Qi had elite soldiers around him, the assassins would not fight them head-on. It was already quite impressive that Liu Qi could resist the assassins. Unexpectedly, Liu Qi and others
Defeat the assassin.
"General Wang was joking. Since the general can come, it is already a great honor for Qi." Liu Qi waved his hand.
"My lord told me when I came here that today I will escort Liu Qi back to the mansion, and tomorrow my lord will hold a banquet in the mansion to greet the eldest son." Wang Wei said.
"Yeah." Liu Qi nodded. He was indeed a little tired from traveling these past few days.
Later, under the escort of Wang Wei, Liu Qi and others returned to Xiangyang safely. Outside the city gate, Wang Wei turned his head and said: "The eldest son, we have arrived in Xiangyang. The general will leave. As for Yi'er, the eldest son will meet the lord tomorrow."
We will make arrangements later.”
"General Wang, let's go slowly." Liu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief after returning to Xiangyang City. Although he still had to fight Cai Mao and others when he returned to Xiangyang, Xiangyang was his home after all, and his "wandering" in the past few months made him feel very sad.
Tired. Although Xiangyang is surrounded by enemies, it is still his home.
Wang Weigong cupped his hands and led the Flying Tiger Army away. Liu Qi looked at Xiangyang City and breathed a sigh of relief: "Go back to the mansion." After saying that, he led Gan Ning and others towards the mansion and arrived in front of the mansion not long after.
Outside the mansion, Uncle Zhang had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Liu Qi coming back, he took two steps forward and looked at Liu Qi with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Zhang." Liu Qi jumped off the horse and said forward.
"Haha, it will be good if the eldest son comes back. It will be good if he comes back." Uncle Zhang looked at Liu Qi and said: "The eldest son should hurry into the house. The house has prepared meals for the eldest son."
"Yes." Liu Qi turned around and said, "You all will have a good rest in the house today, and you will go with me to see your father tomorrow."
"Promise." Everyone agreed with a roar.
Zhang Bo immediately ordered several young men to prepare accommodation and meals for everyone.
After arranging everyone, Liu Qi turned around and looked at the carriageway behind him: "Drive in." Liu Qi ordered someone to take the carriage to the backyard and stopped.
Liu Qi opened the door and got into the carriage. Inside the carriage, Da Qiao was half lying on the carriage, while Xiao Qiao beside him wiped the cold sweat from Da Qiao's forehead from time to time.
"How's it going?" Liu Qi asked.
"The bleeding has stopped, but my sister's body seems to be getting weaker and weaker." Xiao Qiao said with some worry.
"Huh?" Liu Qi stepped forward and carefully took off the brocade on Da Qiao's arm. He saw that the area around the wound had turned black, and even the remaining blood on his arm had turned black.
"Poisonous." Liu Qi was shocked and said to himself that he was too careless. Since he was an assassin, it was not unusual for him to poison his weapons.
"Let's go." Liu Qi immediately picked up Da Qiao and shouted to Xiao Qiao beside him. At this time, he no longer cared about much. If Da Qiao died because of this, how would he represent Qiao?
Plump and delicate, although Da Qiao looks graceful and generous, he looks very petite in his arms. His whole body is plump and yet delicate. Liu Qi took a deep breath and hugged Da Qiao and got off the carriage.
"Ah." Seeing Liu Qi hugging Da Qiao and getting out of the carriage, Xiao Qiao exclaimed and hurriedly followed. Liu Qi actually hugged her sister. This really surprised her, but thinking that her sister might be poisoned, Xiao Qiao felt even more worried.
urgent.
"Eldest Young Master." As soon as Wan'er entered the inner courtyard, Qing'er greeted her and saw the woman in Liu Qi's arms. They were both shocked.
"Quickly, prepare the hot water and brocade, and ask Uncle Zhang to send for the doctor." Liu Qi didn't bother to explain to the two women and entered the room with Da Qiao in his arms, followed quickly by Xiao Qiao.
"Oh." Only then did the two girls react. Wan'er carefully noticed that Da Qiao was injured and turned around and said, "Qing'er, hurry up and ask Uncle Zhang to call the doctor, and ask the servants to prepare some hot water brocade."
"Okay." Although Qing'er felt a little uncomfortable, she went to prepare immediately.
Wan'er turned around and entered the room. In the room, Liu Qi was holding Da Qiao and wanted to put Da Qiao on the bed. Xiao Qiao on the side entered the room and followed Liu Qi blankly. After Wan'er entered the room, she saw
Then he hurriedly stepped forward to lift the quilt and asked Liu Qi to put Da Qiao down.
After Liu Qi put Da Qiao down, he touched Da Qiao's forehead and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Da Qiao didn't have a fever. Then, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes, he stepped forward and stabbed Da Qiao, and directly tore off all the clothes on Da Qiao's left arm.
.
Xiao Qiao and Wan'er on the side looked at Liu Qi in surprise. You must know that although men and women are not close to each other, they are not too close. Liu Qi's doing this really made the two women feel uncomfortable.
Unexpected.
However, they were quickly attracted by Da Qiao's arm. Da Qiao's originally white arm was now half black, especially the area around the wound, which was as black as black charcoal.
Liu Qi took a deep breath and turned around and said, "Bujin."
Wan'er immediately took out a piece of brocade from the clothes on the side and handed it to Liu Qi. Liu Qi looked at the large piece of brocade in his hand and frowned, took out his sword, tore the brocade in his hand into strips, and tied it tightly.
Da Qiao's arm to prevent the poison from spreading further.
At this moment, Wan'er also ordered someone to come in with hot water. Liu Qi turned to Wan'er and said: "Wan'er, wipe her wound clean." After saying that, he looked at the maids on the side and said: "
Open all the windows and then you can go out."
"Yes." Wan'er stepped forward and took the hot water and began to wipe Da Qiao's wounds.
"Young Master, the doctor is already outside the door." Qing'er said while helping Wan'er lay out the brocade.
"Go and invite the doctor in." Liu Qi said to a maid outside the door.
Not long after, an old man in his sixties came in carrying a medicine box. When he saw Da Qiao's arm, the old man frowned and examined it carefully before sighing: "Master, I have never seen this kind of thing before."
It is poisonous, so there is no way to cure it immediately. We can only delay it for a few days, hoping to save her arm, but after more than ten days, I will be unable to do anything."
"Just try your best." Liu Qi nodded.
After sending the doctor out of the mansion, Liu Qi found Gan Ning and Ma Zhong and said, "Do you two know where Hua Tuo is at this time?"
"My lord, when I finally left Changsha, the miracle doctor Hua Tuo had already arrived in Changsha. I think he should be arriving in Xiangyang soon." Ma Zhongdao said that Xu Shu had also said this before he left. Regarding the Hua Tuo situation that Liu Qi had told him,
He was very considerate and made special arrangements for him before leaving.
"You go immediately to find out where Hua Tuo is currently. You go to pick him up in person. You must bring him to Xiangyang as soon as possible." Liu Qi said to Ma Zhong with a solemn face.
"No." Ma Zhong said immediately.
"Lord, is it possible that Madam..." Gan Ning asked worriedly.
"It's okay so far, but it won't last long." Liu Qi sighed.
Gan Ning and Ma Zhong were both shocked. Although Ma Zhong was a little confused about the lady Gan Ning called, he knew that the matter was important and immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will go to pick up the miracle doctor Hua Tuo right now."
"Well, go and come back quickly, be careful on the way." Liu Qi nodded and waved his hand for Ma Zhong to leave.
"When will Mr. Qiao arrive?" Liu Qi looked at Gan Ning.
"It will take more than ten days for Mr. Qiao to arrive in Xiangyang. Will he send someone to inform you about Madam?" Gan Ning asked.
"No need." Liu Qi shook his head. Da Qiao has nothing to do at the moment. He should be fine in more than ten days. If someone is sent to check on Mr. Qiao, it will be bad if Mr. Qiao does something in a hurry.
"When will the military advisor arrive in Xiangyang?" Liu Qi asked.
"The military advisor will be able to arrive in Xiang by tomorrow night at the latest," Gan Ning said.
At this moment, a young man ran over and said, "Master, the third young master is here."
"Oh, let him in." Liu Qi looked at Gan Ning and said, "If there is any news about the military advisor and Duke Qiao, please tell me at any time."
"No." Gan Ning said.
After waving his hand, Gan Ning retreated. Liu Qi stood up and walked towards the door. Liu Xiu hadn't joined him for a long time.
