"I, I..." Cai Yun was choked by Liu Qi's words and couldn't speak. He didn't expect Liu Qi to put such a big hat on him. If he was convinced, even the Cai family wouldn't be able to protect him. He was a little panicked for a while.
"What are you doing? But someone behind the scenes instigated you to do this? Who is he?" Liu Qi raised his voice again, and at the same time urged his horse to take a few steps forward, leaning forward, looking directly at Cai Yun, his compelling momentum was revealed from Liu Qi.
come out.
Liu Qi's eyes were like two sharp swords, which made Cai Yun panic. Coupled with Liu Qi's momentum, the panicked Cai Yun subconsciously said Cai Mao's name.
"Hey..." At this moment, a sound of horse whistling woke up Cai Yun. Cai Yun immediately broke out in a cold sweat and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Cai Yun looked at Liu Qi with a little more fear in his eyes. What if it really happened just now?
He said Cai Mao's name. Even if he was Cai Mao's nephew, Cai Mao would not let him go. Even his father and mother would probably suffer as well.
Liu Qi turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man who was chasing the horse behind him. He gave Ma Zhong a look, and Ma Zhong immediately followed quietly.
Although the possibility that this middle-aged man was secretly causing trouble was very small, he could not let go of the slightest chance. He glanced at the crowd where the middle-aged man was standing just now, and then turned to look at Cai Yun without gaining anything.
Liu Qi had no intention of using this to deal with the Cai family. Cai Yun's words alone could not have an impact on the Cai family. Liu Qi just wanted to increase the discord between Cai Hao and Liu Biao, even if it was just a little bit, it was worth it. Maybe this slight dissatisfaction will be resolved in the future.
Cai Mao's life was taken.
Regarding the aristocratic family, Liu Qi knew very well that anyone could be sacrificed for the benefit of the family. The Cai family would not openly oppose Liu Biao for a small Cai Yun. This was the way for the aristocratic family to survive. Liu Qi seized on this point to deal with Cai Yun.
Even if it doesn't hit Cai Mao, it still makes him feel uncomfortable.
Drive, drive, drive... the sound of urging horses sounded again, but it was Wang Wei, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, who arrived, followed by Lu Jie, but it was Liu Qi who asked him to inform Wang Wei. Cai Yun was trying to stop the Jinfan thieves from entering the city, and Wang Wei definitely didn't know
, it is impossible for him to do this as he is Liu Biao’s crony.
And Liu Qi felt that it would be more appropriate to hand over Cai Yun to Wang Wei. After all, Liu Qi could not intervene in the internal affairs of the Flying Tiger Army. If it aroused dissatisfaction with him within the Flying Tiger Army, it would be a loss rather than a gain. If Wang Wei
Dealing with Cai Yun will not cause any dissatisfaction within the Feihu Army. On the other hand, it can increase the conflict between Cai and Wang Wei.
"See you, general." The Flying Tiger Army saluted immediately when they saw Wang Wei.
"General Wang." Liu Qi also stepped forward to greet Liu Qi.
Wang Wei said to Liu Qi with a look of shame on his face: "The general is not strict in running the army, which has caused trouble for the eldest son." Cai Yun is Cai's chess piece placed within the Feihu Army, and he knows that. Cai Yun has always behaved very badly.
Okay, everything has been done well. He is not easy to deal with. Unexpectedly, he showed up today.
"It doesn't matter, I think this is not the original intention of the old general. Now that the general has arrived, I should go back, and I will leave it to the general." Liu Qi said to Wang Wei. Now that Wang Wei has arrived, Liu Qi can't stay here.
Watching here, otherwise it will make the Flying Tiger Army lose face. After all, it is a scandal and no one wants to spread it everywhere. He believes that Wang Wei will not let Cai Yun exist in the Flying Tiger Army.
"Thank you, eldest son." Wang Wei naturally knew what Liu Qi was thinking. If he dealt with Cai Yun in front of so many people, the reputation of his Flying Tiger Army would definitely be affected.
As Liu Qi left, the onlookers also left one after another, leaving only a group of people from the Flying Tiger Army. The city gate suddenly returned to calm.
The dim moonlight illuminated Wang Wei's livid face, and his gloomy eyes stared at Cai Yun.

Liu Qi Mansion
Uncle Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Qi coming back. He came up to greet him and said, "Young Master is back."
Seeing that Uncle Zhang had not rested so late, Liu Qi was obviously worried about him, and felt warm in his heart: "Uncle Zhang is worried."
"Hehehe, it will be good if the young master comes back." Uncle Zhang looked at Liu Qi and said with a smile, "Young master, you should wash up first."
Liu Qi glanced at the somewhat messy clothes, nodded with a wry smile. Then he turned to Ma Zhong and said, "Zhengping, please arrange your accommodation. Brother Gan, I'll excuse you for a while. You guys haven't seen each other for a few days, so let's get together."
After saying that, she headed towards the inner courtyard. Qing'er Wan'er had already been waiting at the door when she heard that Liu Qi was back.
Seeing Liu Qi made me feel a little happy, "The young master is back."
Liu Qi was also a little happy to see the two women, nodded and said yes.
Qing'er was lively. She stepped forward and grabbed Liu Qi's hand and asked, "Why did the young master come back so late today?"
Liu Qi patted her head and said, "Are you naughty again today?"
"No, I'm doing embroidery with Sister Wan'er today." Qing'er retorted.
Wan'er looked at Liu Qi's messy clothes, disheveled hair, and faintly tired expression tenderly and delicately, feeling a little distressed in her heart. She hurriedly prepared bathing utensils and served Liu Qi to bathe. Qing'er, who was jumping up and down, also got busy.
Liu Qi looked at the two people in a hurry and said: "Don't bother, just collect it. I have to go to the front yard later and wash it when I come back."
The two women put down what they were doing and helped Liu Qi take off his messy clothes and put on clean clothes. Then they fetched water and wiped Liu Qi's face and combed his hair before they were done.
After cleaning, Liu Qi felt much more relaxed. He looked at the two women busying themselves and said, "You should also sit down and rest."
The two girls were used to being casual with Liu Qi, so they would not sit politely on either side of Liu Qi. Qing'er took Liu Qi's arm lively and asked curiously: "Where did the young master go today? Why did you come back so late?"
Liu Qi knew that they were bored in the house all day, so he told them the whole day's events, but he only concealed some important things. Even so, the two women's eyes shone.
"Then Cai Yun is really bad." Qing'er said angrily after hearing this. Although she didn't know what happened specifically, in her heart, the young master is the best, and anyone who goes against the young master is a bad person.
Wan'er listened quietly to the side and did not express her opinion. She just nodded after Qing'er finished speaking.
Liu Qi looked at the two innocent girls, and his irritable mood in the past few days was clear. Thinking of the curious eyes of the two girls just now, he couldn't help but said: "If you feel bored staying in the house, just go out for a walk."
"Really?" Qing'er looked at Liu Qi excitedly, but her tone was not sure.
Even Wan'er looked at Liu Qi expectantly.
"Really. Just don't run too far, and remember to call the guards." Liu Qi said with a smile.
"Young Master is so kind." Qing'er jumped up and shouted.
Wan'er on the side was also full of surprise, and her eyes looked at Liu Qi a little softer. This suddenly made Liu Qi a little bit overwhelmed.
Wan'er is wearing a blue dress today, which complements her gentle personality. Her skin is as white as jade, her face is elegant and gentle, and she is pure and charming. She looks so alluring. Liu Qi was immediately attracted by her.
Looking a little dumbfounded.
Fortunately, even though Liu Qi woke up, he looked at Wan'er's red face, feeling a little embarrassed. He coughed, said hello casually, and left for the front yard.
When Liu Qi went to the study, Liu Pan, Gan Ning and others were already waiting in the study.
Liu Qi looked at the two people behind Gan Ning and asked: "Brother Gan, who are these two warriors?" Liu Qi, the two people behind Gan Ning, had seen one person, a young man who presented gifts to Liu Biao with Gan Ning, but things were in a hurry and Liu Qi didn't have time.
After asking, he left. As for the other person, Liu Qi had never seen him, so he probably stayed behind.
Gan Ning stood up and pointed at the young man Liu Qi had met the day before yesterday and said: "My eldest son, this is my second brother Su Fei. His martial arts skills are mediocre, but his skills with hidden weapons are extremely exquisite."
Su Fei did not wait for Gan Ning's instructions but came forward and bowed: "Su Fei meets the eldest son."
Gan Ning pointed to another young man and said: "This is my third brother Wu Xiong. He usually has a lot of clever ideas. He plans all our travel plans."
Wu Xiong stepped forward and said, "Wu Xiong has met the eldest son."
Su Fei and Liu Qi were not surprised. After all, Liu Qi had seen him take action that night. Although he was good, he was not as good as Liu Pan and others. He did not expect that he was good at hidden weapons. As for Wu Xiong, Liu Qi misjudged him. Wu Xiong had an ordinary appearance and carried a few
Although he is brave, no one would associate him with resourcefulness.
"Two brave men, please wake up. You are here because you respect me, Liu Qi. It's just that I left late and made my brothers suffer. I hope you don't blame me." Liu Qi stood up to help each other, looking a little ashamed. He said that he came to Xiangyang to defect to him.
Yes, it is really unjustifiable to let them suffer on their own territory.
"The eldest son is serious. If the eldest son hadn't accepted it, we brothers might be wandering around like before. It's us who caused trouble for the eldest son." Wu Xiongchen said sincerely.
"Hahaha, in this case, let's not just thank you. When you come to my place, don't treat yourself as an outsider. Although I, Liu Qi, don't want to cause trouble, I am not a person who is afraid of trouble. I will never let my brothers live in Xiangyang for nothing.
You have been wronged by me." Liu Qi said with a smile. In a few words, he has made his position clear. Since you have come to Xiangyang to seek refuge with me, I will naturally guarantee your safety.
"Haha, with the words of the eldest son, we can rest assured." Wu Xiong also said with a smile. He thought highly of Liu Qi in his heart. He could hear his admiration for Liu Qi from Su Fei's tone. Goodbye.
He has been secretly observing Liu Qi since he arrived. Liu Qi's performance after he appeared at the city gate was all in his eyes. Liu Qi acted decisively when dealing with Cai Yun, with a mix of strength and softness, without any sloppiness, and with an extremely good sense of scale and proportion.
Well, if it weren't for the sake of caution, he would have persuaded Gan Ning to serve Liu Qi. Now it seems that Liu Qi is indeed a lord who can be loyal to them.
"Brother, what do you think General Wang will do with Cai Yun?" Liu Pan asked from the side. Cai Yun embarrassed him at the city gate today, so he would naturally not let Cai Yun go.
