Walking into the room, Liu Qi saw Wan'er lying on the bed at a glance. At this time, Wan'er's face was extremely pale, and her whole person looked extremely depressed and without any energy. It made people pity her at first sight.
.
Seeing Liu Qi come in, Wan'er's dazed eyes finally regained focus. She looked at Liu Qi's face with shame, as if he was a child who had done something wrong.
Coming to the bed, Liu Qi took Wan'er's little hand and said with some self-reproach, "I should have gone with you. Do you feel better now?"
"It's much better now. My husband is worried." Wan'er said in a hoarse voice. Feeling the warmth of Liu Qi's hand, Wan'er felt a little at ease. Until now, screams still sounded in his ears from time to time.
"It's okay. When you recover, I will accompany you out of the city to pay homage to your parents." Feeling Wan'er's injured trembling, Liu Qi felt a little guilty in his heart. Even a trained recruit, after going to the battlefield for the first time,
Sometimes I feel scared, and I feel even more terrified when I see blood for the first time, let alone a woman who has no power to restrain a chicken.
With Wan'er's kind-hearted character, how could she calm down when she saw the killing?
With Liu Qi by her side, Wan'er felt a lot more at ease. She was no longer as sluggish as before, but her spirits were still a little bad, so she fell asleep after a short while under Liu Qi's whisper. After covering Wan'er with a quilt, Liu Qi finally
Leave the room quietly.
"My lord, the general has sent people to investigate just now, and Cai Xun has already left." Not long after returning to the study, Yang Ling walked in quickly and said.
"What clues can you leave behind?" Liu Qi had already expected that Cai Xun would leave early, so he was not surprised.
"There were indeed people staying there, but Cai Xun should have taken them away yesterday," Yang Ling said.
"Oh, you left yesterday?" Liu Qi was a little surprised. Did Cai Xun already know that he would not succeed this time, or did he leave early to hide his whereabouts?
"Stand down." Liu Qi waved his hand and asked Yang Ling to stand down.

"General, the assassination attempt in Xiangyang City failed, and all the brothers were captured." In another mountain forest dozens of miles away from Xiangyang City, a soldier wearing a beggar's uniform knelt down in front of Cai Xun with an annoyed look on his face.
road.
"I understand." He waved his hand to ask the soldier to retreat. Cai Xun turned his head and looked at the few generals in front of him. These generals were loyal to him and would not be disrespectful to him like the dead general.
.
"General, now we have lost another two hundred soldiers, and there are only less than three hundred soldiers left. What should we do next?" A young general looked at Cai Xun worriedly.
"Yes, General. The only soldiers left here are not enough to fight against Liu Qi. Liu Qi must have been prepared to assassinate Mrs. Wan this time. He must be more careful next time."
………………
"Okay." Cai Xun interrupted everyone's discussion in a deep voice, glanced at everyone and said: "Although there are less than 300 soldiers left here, our Cai family has been operating in Jingzhou for so many years. How could we not be prepared? As early as a few years ago,
Years ago, my eldest brother was secretly preparing for chaos in the world, so he was already in one place
There is enough food, grass and weapons hidden in the secret place. Although Liu Qi has wiped out the power of the Cai family in Xiangyang, there are countless families loyal to the Cai family in the entire Jingzhou area. All they need to do is to unite these families.
If you get up, you may not be able to fight against Liu Qi."
"Ah, General, are you telling the truth?"
"General, why didn't you unite these aristocratic families earlier instead of waiting until today?"
A famous young general in the tent looked at Cai Xun with surprise.
"You are right. If I could control these aristocratic families, I would have come forward to unite these aristocratic families. Today is different from the past. If the Cai family were still there, these aristocratic families would not dare to have any dissent. But now the Cai family has
Collapse, these aristocratic families think they are free from the shackles, how can they be easily controlled by me?" Cai Xun shook his head and said.
"This..." Everyone felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them.
Most of them are from aristocratic families, and they naturally know that everything in the aristocratic family is based on profit. If the Cai family were still in these aristocratic families, they would not resist, but would spare no effort to support the Cai family. But now that the Cai family has been destroyed, the entire family is now the only one left.
How can these aristocratic families support the Cai family if Cai Xun is alone?
There is no loyalty to the aristocratic families, everything is based on the interests of the aristocratic families. Now that Cai Xun has stepped forward, not to mention taking control of these aristocratic families, it is better not to be handed over to Liu Qi by these aristocratic families.
"However, don't worry, everyone. Although these aristocratic families are temporarily out of control, since we, the Cai family, have supported these aristocratic families, we have naturally taken precautionary measures. We only need to wait for the opportunity, and these aristocratic families will naturally obey." Cai Xun shook his head and said.
"Really?" Everyone in the crowd looked at Cai Xun in surprise. They must know that Cai Xun only has the power in his hands now. It is really difficult to control these aristocratic families.
"Am I still going to lie to you?" Cai Xun said with a serious look on his face.
"The general will not dare." Everyone hurriedly bowed.
"General, what should we do next?" A young general looked at Cai Xun and asked doubtfully.
"Pack it up, we will leave Xiangyang tomorrow." Cai Xun looked at the crowd and said.
"promise."

"Mother, why are you here?" Liu Cong looked at Mrs. Cai in surprise and asked in a huge mansion in Xiangyang City.
Ever since Liu Qi took over Jingzhou, Liu Qi said that Liu Cong would inherit the title of Marquis of Wu from Liu Biao in the future. This mansion was specially prepared by Liu Qi for Liu Cong, and Liu Cong and Mrs. Cai could only see each other every few days.
Every time, Liu Cong went to see Mrs. Cai, but he didn't expect Mrs. Cai to come here. You know that Mrs. Cai was under house arrest in Xiangyang, so how could she leave the place of house arrest and come here.
"I'm here to see you. Let's go in and talk." Mrs. Cai pulled Liu Cong into the room and drove all the maids out of the room. Only the mother and son were left in the room.
"Mother, how did you trick the guards into coming here?" Liu Cong asked in a low voice.
"You don't need to know this. I came here to discuss something with you. I heard that you have been studying with Sima Hui these days. How does Mr. Shui Jing treat you?" Mrs. Cai looked at Liu Cong and asked.
"The teacher is very nice to me. There is nothing wrong with me." Liu Cong shook his head and said.
"That's good. Since you are studying with Mr. Shui Jing, you should study hard and try your best to gain Mr. Shui Jing's favor and his support. The Sima clan is also one of the best in Jingzhou. Obtaining his support will be beneficial to your future.
The benefits, and Mr. Shui Jing’s disciples are all over Jingzhou, these people are also the ones you want to fight for. Now that you have no power, you have to fight for everything by yourself." Mrs. Cai exhaled.
"I know, the teacher treats us all equally, and there is no difference because of my status. And I think this is good. I no longer think about fighting for power with my elder brother all day long like before. The teacher said I can't compare.
Brother, if you can study hard, you may be able to become a capable minister in the future." Liu Cong frowned and said, he has been smart since he was a child, and he also knows what Mrs. Cai means.
When Liu Biao asked Liu Qi to take control of Jingzhou, he was indeed a little dissatisfied, but after studying with his teacher for such a long time, he learned a lot and had a different view of things.
"Nonsense, this Jingzhou is yours. How could Liu Jingsheng and He De be able to join Jingzhou? Your uncle helped him to defeat it. When he came to Jingzhou alone, if your uncle hadn't helped him, he would have been killed by the rebels.
How to kill
He was able to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, but now that Jingzhou has been pacified, he crossed the river and demolished the bridge and allowed that beast to drive out the Cai family. You must seize the position of Jingzhou Mu and avenge your uncle when the time comes." Mrs. Cai said coldly.
"What Shuijing taught you must have been taught by Liu Qi. You won't do it again in the future. Today, one of the concubines of that beast went out of the city. Your uncle sent someone to assassinate her, but he didn't expect to let her escape. It's really abominable." Cai Cai.
Madam felt a little irritable.
"What? Mother, uncle is not dead?" Liu Cong looked shocked at first, and then the shock turned into surprise.
"It's your uncle Cai Xun. He led the navy and left early when he saw that the situation was not good. Now he is contacting the forces of my Cai family in various places. When the time comes, he will cut Liu Qi into pieces with a thousand swords. You wait here for news.
That's fine." Mrs. Cai nodded.
"This...now that eldest brother has taken control of Jingzhou, who else will support me? It's too risky for uncle to do this." Liu Cong shook his head and sighed.
"You don't have to worry about this. The Cai family has been operating in Jingzhou for decades and is still somewhat powerful. Moreover, Liu Qi promoted people around him through nepotism. Some people in Xiangyang have long been dissatisfied. I have been
Contacted several aristocratic families, and these aristocratic families now secretly support you.
, what you have to do now is not to let that Liu Qi discover our affairs, and not to lose confidence and feel sleepy all day long. Liu Qi is not dealing with you now, just for the sake of reputation. Sooner or later, he will get rid of our mother and son.
It will solve his innermost worries." Mrs. Cai patted Liu Cong's head and said.
"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely not disappoint mother. But mother must also be careful. Now that the whole of Xiangyang is under the surveillance of that person, he must have known about coming here." Liu Cong was a little worried.
road.
Hearing that there were still people supporting him, Liu Cong immediately felt relieved. The reason why he did this these days was to protect himself. Today, he heard that his uncle was still alive, and the remaining power of the Cai family was actually not small. His thoughts
Immediately he became active again.
