As night falls, the clouds in the night sky gradually increase, dark clouds are covered with the moon, and the night becomes darker.

After leaving the suspension bridge at the east gate of Tao Mansion, there is an east-west street with stone slabs and a dense forest across the street. It is lush during the day and particularly pleasing to the eye, but it looks a bit gloomy and terrifying at night.

At this time, behind a big tree beside the woods, Huang Yong looked coldly at the east gate of Tao Mansion, and the swords in his hand were heavily marked with Liu characters on the big tree.

He had completely lost his mind and had endless hatred in his heart. He would not consider the future of Jiangxia and the overall situation of Jingzhou. His father's efforts have nothing to do with him.

There is only one woman in his heart. Since ancient times, all the people who make men crazy are for women. A woman can turn normal people into devils, not to mention that Huang Yong himself has a bit of devilish temperament.

At this time, a carriage drove over and the suspension bridge of the Huzhai River began to slowly lower it. Huang Yong narrowed his eyes and the opportunity came.

Just as the carriage began to turn and waited for the Hunzhai River suspension bridge to be put down, Huang Yong ran out of the woods and drilled into the bottom of the carriage with extraordinary agility. The carriage started again, negotiated with the gatekeeper for a few words, and then drove into the East Courtyard of Tao Mansion.

...........

In the inner hall of Tao Mansion, in the study of the master Tao Lie, a pair of red candles flashed with soft fire, making the room particularly bright.

Tao Lie wore a wide purple-red birthday robe, and his loving smile disappeared, turning into an extremely solemn, and there was even a little anger in his eyes.

"Why just tell me this big thing now?"

Tao Lie only learned about Zhang Yun’s actions against the Tao family today, but he took the initiative to ask about it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known about this matter at all, so how could he not be angry?

There were Chang Tao Sheng and Ci Taoli standing opposite each other, both of them looked embarrassed. After a while, Tao Sheng smiled bitterly: "We don't want to hide our father. We happened to meet our father's birthday and are going to tell our father after his birthday is over."

"Hmph" Tao Lie sneered, "You don't have that plan at all. Maybe you think I'm old and useless, right?"

"The boy dared not." Tao Sheng lowered his head.

Tao Lie said coldly again: "I heard that Liu Cong asked you today that he wanted to marry Jiuniang."

This is the reason why Tao Lie came to him. He heard the butler talk about this, but the two did not report him in time. He doubted how much they had hidden from him.

"It was him who brought up this matter."

Tao Shengxi's father was still as smart as before, so he could not hide these things from him. He sighed in his heart, and it seemed that he could not hide anything.

"Then did you agree?" Tao Lie stared at Chang with bright eyes.

"The boy didn't agree"

"Then you refused"

"There was no rejection, the child just said he wanted to consider it."

"Why don't you refuse?" Tao Lie's voice suddenly became stern.

At this time, Tao Li, who had not spoken, said: "Father, my brother doesn't want to offend Mr. Cong directly. He just wanted to delay and use a tactful way to make Mr. Cong understand, and the Tao family disagreed."

"Do I think you are moved and really want to marry Liu Biao?" Tao Lie's tone was filled with a hint of sarcasm.

In fact, the reason why Tao Sheng did not refuse on the spot was that he had some thoughts in his mind. As he said to Liu Cong, it was the honor of the Tao family to be able to marry the provincial governor. Even if he had a flat wife, how many families would not be able to do so.

His father's words hit his mind, and he blushed. After a while, he said, "The child just said he was thinking. When he delayed for a few days, Mr. Cong would naturally understand that the Tao family had no intention of marrying each other, which was better than just refusing to give him some face."

Tao Lie's eyes softened and he nodded and said, "I just want to remind you that our Tao family is between the Sun and Liu families. We must be very careful not to take a wrong step and send more money and grain to Liu Biao. Sun Quan would not say anything, nor would he know, but once he married Liu Biao, Sun Quan would not spare our Tao family. At that time, our huge industry in Jiangdong was in danger and even our Chaisang Tao family would destroy the clan. Sun Quan would rather kill us than leave us with enemies. Do you understand?"

Tao Sheng was shocked and sweated coldly. He really didn't expect this. Thanks to his father's deep thinking, Lao Jiang Mila saw this key problem.

He felt very ashamed and lowered his head and said, "I have no consideration and should refuse immediately."

"It's okay to delay. As long as we are determined, we must also talk about strategies. However, we must make Liu Cong give up before leaving, otherwise Liu Biao will send someone to propose marriage, which will be troublesome."

"Boy understands"

Tao Lie said to the two sons again: "There is also the matter of Zhang Yun. I have a feeling that this matter is not over. With Liu Biao's arrogant personality, he will not let his son and nephew come to the Tao family at the same time. He can completely let his nephew celebrate the birthday of the Tao family on his behalf. It's enough. Why should he send him again? Did you think of the reason in the middle?"

The Tao brothers looked at each other and bowed together and said, "Please make it clear to my father."

Tao Lie concentrating on his mind for a moment before saying lightly: "I feel that Liu Jing has made other plans to come to Chaisang, not as simple as coming to pay a birthday."

...........

The East Courtyard is quite lively. At this time, two days before the Tao family's birthday, most of the guests have arrived. Four or five people lived in the entire East Courtyard, with a large number of people, and mixed with fish and dragons. Although the Tao family hopes that all the guests will restrain their followers, there are still noisy noises.

After entering the East Courtyard, Huang Yong no longer had any scruples and walked towards the northwest corner. He knew that there were several separate courtyards in the northwest corner, which were the place where distinguished guests lived. As Liu's nephew, he would definitely be treated as a distinguished guest.

Soon he came to a small courtyard, where several followers led their horses out in front of him. Huang Yong did not do anything and hid in a bush about a meter high.

"You guys say, will the Tao family agree to the request of the Tao family and betroth the Tao family Jiuniang to the Cong Gong?"

"I think there is definitely no problem. What a glory is this for the proposal of the Zhou Muzhi. Even the senior officials do not have such a blessing, let alone a businessman like the Tao family, he will definitely agree."

"However, the Tao family's little Jiu Niang is really beautiful and her skin is white. I was stunned, but I was a little fatter."

"You know, that's plump. You still think that such a beauty is fat. Your husband is really lucky. If such a beauty marrys me, I would rather lose ten years of life."

"I was dreamed, let's go to the brothel tonight and find a little girl, it's just as beautiful."

Several people turned over and urged the horse to leave. After the bushes, Huang Yong tightened the hilt, his pupils shrank into a thread, and his murderous intent burst out in his heart. It turned out that Liu Cong was also trying to attack Jiu Niang, and seemed to have proposed to her.

Liu Biao's two nephews were not good things, so they killed them all, and no one was left behind.

At this time, a waiter yawned and looked here lazyly. Suddenly, an arm stretched out from the darkness and dragged him into the bushes.

"Where is Liu Jing living?"

"Mr. Jing is right in front of me, and the courtyard with lanterns is there."

With a muffled scream, Huang Yong twisted his neck. After a moment, he changed into the waiter's clothes, hid the knife behind him, and quickly walked towards the small courtyard with lanterns.

Huang Yong is not a stupid person, and he is not weak in IQ. He knows how to put on makeup and serve as a waiter, and knows how to use a carriage to sneak into the East Courtyard instead of rushing in.

But his emotional intelligence is almost zero. For the sake of the woman he likes, he can do whatever he wants, even his father's overall foundation, let alone who the other party is. Not to mention that he is Cousin Liu, even if he is the prince, he will still be able to kill him.

This is a typical character flaw, like a wild beast, with the cunning of a wild beast, but without the rationality of human beings.

Huang Yong walked to the courtyard and stood deliberately in the dark, so that the people inside could not see their appearance clearly. He knocked on the door. After a moment, the door opened. When Liu Jing saw that it was a waiter, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"I am a servant of the Tao family. The head of the family asked Duke Jing to go to the inner courtyard to have a lecture."

"I'm sorry, my husband seems to have gone out to practice martial arts and may not be able to come back very late."

Huang Yong was extremely disappointed. He held back the murderous intent in his heart and asked again: "The head of the family has an urgent matter. Where has he gone? Let's go find him."

"I heard that I went to the school to practice martial arts."

At this time, a carriage rushed from a distance, followed by several horse-riding followers. The wheels were ringing, and an orange-red lantern was hung on the car, shaking left and right, and there was a black Liu character in the light.

"Is Mr. Jing back?" Huang Yong asked nervously.

The subordinate shook his head, "My husband rides a horse and doesn't ride a car, this should be Mr. Cong."

"Liu Cong"

“It’s right”

Huang Yong suddenly squeezed the knife in his hand, and a horrifying murderous intent burst out in his eyes.

His subordinates felt his murderous intent and looked at him in confusion. They saw that he held the hilt tightly. The subordinates were startled and closed the door with a slam.

Huang Yong turned around and walked towards Liu Cong, walking faster and faster, holding the long knife in his hand. At this time, Liu Cong had already gotten out of the carriage and brought a singing girl like a flower.

"You go and buy wine and food," Liu Cong ordered his men.

At this time, Huang Yong had already rushed towards him. Liu Jing's subordinates in the distance saw Huang Yong's intention and shouted: "Mr. Cong, there is an assassin."

When Liu Cong turned around, he saw a big man rushing towards him. He was so scared that he pulled the woman suddenly and blocked Huang Yong. With a sharp scream, the singer was killed by Huang Yong.

Liu Cong was so scared that he turned and fled. Four guards rushed from left and right. Huang Yong was extremely cruel and his sword flew. All four guards were cut off their throats with one knife and curled up to death on the ground.

At this time, Liu Cong had already run seven or eight steps. Huang Yong rushed up like a wild wolf, kicking him over to the ground with one kick, grabbing his head, and swinged it backwards, kicking Liu Cong hard, making him cry and cry.

Liu Cong rolled and crawled backwards, ran a few steps, and fell heavily. He had to climb back desperately. Soon his body held the wheel, his eyes filled with fear, his lips trembled, and the fear of death made him tremble all over.

"I am Zhou Muzhi, please don't kill me."

Huang Yong held the long sword tightly and walked towards Liu Cong step by step with a grim smile. This bastard relied on his own to steal his woman, and he was really tired of living.

At this moment, Cai Yi had already run out of the yard. In the glimmer of the lantern, he recognized Huang Yong and shouted anxiously, "Hong Kong Master shows mercy, that is Duke Cong, you can't kill him."

Huang Yong also recognized Cai Yi. He was shocked and slowly woke up. Yes, if he killed Liu Biaozhi, his father might have to peel off his skin.

But...Is that okay? He has proposed to the Tao family. With his father's power, can the Tao family not agree?

Huang Yong imagined Liu Cong and Tao Zhan entering the bridal chamber. He became furious again and a vicious thought popped up in his mind. Not killing him would make him worse than death.

He lifted Liu Cong's jaw with the tip of the knife and whispered with a grim smile: "Don't you want to steal my woman, I'll let you snatch it, but you can't use it."

He kicked Liu Cong in the crotch with a heart-wrenching scream and curled up into a ball. Huang Yong turned his head and pointed at Liu Cong, shouting to the people around him who were watching the fun: "Who dares to steal my Huang Yong's woman, this is the end."

When the people around him saw him extremely vicious, they were so scared that they dodged away. Amid Liu Cong's screams, Huang Yong turned around and left, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

...........

There was a strife in Tao Mansion. In a schoolyard two miles away, Liu Jing rode a horse and rang with the sound of horse hooves like thunder. He opened his bow and arrow, and turned his body suddenly. A wolf-tooth arrow shot out like lightning, shooting straight from the wooden man with a fragrant head lightning fifty steps away.

He didn't even see if he shot it, turned his horse's head and ran again, and pulled out an arrow from behind his shoulder with his right hand. He pulled the bow like the moon and the arrow like a meteor. He heard a bang from afar, and the arrow hit the wooden board.

He had shot twenty arrows, and he had another improvement in his own way, that is, the time between the two arrows was significantly shortened.

According to the time of later generations, it took two minutes to shoot an arrow, but later it was reduced to one and a half minutes. He had not practiced for several days and his strength had completely recovered. Today, he shot twenty arrows, which only took more than twenty minutes, an average of more than one minute.

Moreover, his arms were not sore, which was a phenomenon that was improved after a pause. He had similar experience in his previous life, which surprised Liu Jing secretly. In this way, two arrows could be shot in two hours.

At this moment, a black shadow appeared in the distance, slowly walked towards him, and walked twenty steps away, stopping again, staring at him coldly like a wild beast.
