Chapter 204 First Talk
,,,,,,,,,,,,
After not seeing each other for nearly a year, Mrs. Cai is still dressed elegantly and luxuriously as before, with a colder face than the weather. It seems that she is not in a good mood.
Mrs. Cai rushed over angrily. She had just quarreled with her husband about her birthday. He did not allow her to show up on her birthday. This made Mrs. Cai feel incredible. She could not accept such a decision, so she started quarreling with her husband.
But the quarrel could not convince Liu Biao, so Mrs. Cai rushed out of the mansion angrily. She had a subconscious mind that she wanted to go back to her parents' home. Every time she quarreled with her husband, she would go back to her parents' home for a few days.
But today, she met Liu Jing as soon as she went out. Mrs. Cai stopped suddenly and took a step back involuntarily. She never thought she would meet Liu Jing here.
"Why are you here?" Mrs. Cai's eyes widened and angry appeared in her eyes.
"It turned out to be a lady"
Liu Jing bowed to her and said with a smile: "Long time no see."
"Hmph, you are very glorious now. Everyone is praising you. It seems that even I want to praise you. Do you want it?"
"I'll leave my wife's praise to the mirror. I can't afford it, I've lost my companion."
Liu Jing bowed slightly and walked quickly to the mansion.
"Stop" Mrs. Cai shouted angrily, and she realized Liu Jing's sarcasm, which immediately made her angry.
Liu Jing stopped, turned around and asked with a smile, "Madam, what else do you have to give?"
Liu Jing's chat and laughter made Mrs. Cai slowly calm down. She took a deep breath, restrained her disobedience, and said coldly: "You don't have the right to enter the mansion casually, you must wait for the notification outside."
"I'm sorry, my uncle didn't tell me that way, he lost his companion."
Liu Jing ignored Mrs. Cai and walked quickly to the inner palace. Mrs. Cai was so angry that her eyes turned black. She suddenly held her forehead and almost fainted. Two maids hurriedly supported her, "Madam, Madam."
Liu Jing stood outside the study and waited patiently. After a moment, a book boy came out to salute and said, "Mr. Jing, the governor of the state is invited."
Liu Jing put on his clothes and walked into the study quickly. He was mentally prepared that there would be no good ending tonight.
In the study room, Liu Biao stood in front of the window with his hands in his arms, staring out the window expressionlessly. It was impossible to tell from his face that he had just had an argument with his wife, but Liu Jing came in, but he ignored him.
Liu Jing stepped forward and knelt down, bowed and said, "Nephew Liu Jing, pay homage to uncle."
Liu Biao did not look back and asked coldly: "How long has it been since we met?"
"In less than a year, my nephew also participated in the clan festival on the same day."
"Well, there are so many things happening in less than a year. Jing'er, you disappointed me."
Liu Biao's attitude was as expected by Liu Jing. Of course, he would not admit that he had disappointed Liu Biao. He asked in a low voice: "I don't know what my uncle is referring to."
"Yeah"
Liu Biao slowly turned around and looked at Liu Jing with cold eyes, "You really don't know."
"My nephew is stupid, I really don't know."
At this time, Liu Jing suddenly felt that Liu Biao's voice was very old, and he no longer had the same energy as before. The voice seemed to be squeezed out of the trachea, and there was an indescribable feeling of fatigue.
He secretly looked up at Liu Biao and was shocked. The Liu Biao in front of him was very different from a year ago. His hair and beard were almost half of his hair and beard, his face and skin were loose, and he was carved with deep wrinkles. Even his back was a little hunched. It seemed like he had changed his other person when the sacrifice was at the beginning of the year.
Liu Biao found that Liu Jing was peeping at him, and also saw the surprise in Liu Jing's eyes. He was like a middle-aged woman who was seen with real face without time to put on makeup. She suddenly felt a little angry and asked sternly, "I'll ask you, what happened to Jiangxia, why did you explain to me?"
Liu Jing was very confused. Liu Biao's appearance was shocked. Did Liu Biao keep this happening or the changes that happened this year
If this was the case in the past, wouldn’t he have been living in the painted skin? If it was just the change this year, would he be poisoned?
Anything is a gradual change. Even if there is a black swan event, there will be various lines and signs. How could Liu Biao suddenly become aging? Apart from being poisoned, he really couldn't remember any explanation.
"I'm asking you, haven't you heard it?"
Liu Biao strengthened his tone and his attitude became stern, "I'll ask you again, how can you explain to me about Jiangxia?"
Liu Jing temporarily puts Liu Biao's appearance changes aside, and his mind returns to today's important business. Today's important business is Jiang Xia. Liu Biao has never missed the topic, but Liu Jing is a little distracted.
Liu Biao's sternness was also expected by Liu Jing. After all, using the elders to exert pressure is an effective means of negotiation, but brothers have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention an unreliable relationship between uncle and nephew.
Liu Jing was not overwhelmed by Liu Biao's sternness. He calmly replied: "Can your uncle allow your nephew to explain the facts from scratch?"
Liu Biao stared at Liu Jing for a while, and he felt like he was hitting the sky with one punch. Liu Jing's calmness forced him to realize that the means of using the pressure of the elders was not successful.
The anger in Liu Biao's eyes slowly faded, and his eyes began to become unfathomable. He sat down and said lightly: "Sit down and talk."
Liu Jing sat upright and then told the story of what happened. There were detailed reports on the war. He did not say much, but focused on the story of Wuchang.
"The situation in Wuchang was very chaotic at that time. Su Fei could no longer grasp the situation, so he asked me for help. The key was that Huang She was not killed in battle, but hid in the darkness of Jiangxia, waiting for an opportunity.
Zhang Shuo and Jiang Zhi are both Huang Zu's confidants and important figures among the eighteen tooth generals promoted by Huang Zu. Su Fei discovered that Zhang Shuo and Jiang Zhi had secret plans, so he suspected that they had contacted Huang She, so his nephew rushed to Wuchang to control the situation."
Speaking of this, Liu Jing took out a letter and handed it to Liu Biao, "This is the urgent letter of help written by General Su at that time."
Of course, the letter was added afterwards, and it was meaningless. Liu Biao also understood in his heart. He just looked at it briefly and asked coldly: "Why do you want to kill someone?"
"My nephew killed people was completely helpless. My nephew only brought five people to Wuchang at that time. Once the mutiny was in unimaginable, the consequences were unimaginable. My nephew summoned all the generals to the account, which was actually to separate the two of them from their personal soldiers. In that case, killing was the most effective method."
Liu Biao slowly closed his eyes, as if waiting for something
Liu Jing's words cannot be said to be unreasonable. The key is that Huang She's whereabouts are unknown. The Huang family's foundation is in Jiangxia. As long as Jiangxia is not occupied by Jiangdong Army, Huang She will of course not leave Jiangxia easily. It is reasonable to summon old subordinates.
But Liu Biao would not listen to any of his explanations. He only wanted the result, not caring about the process, and pursuing the process was just trying to change the result.
At this time, Liu Biao's eyes opened a slit slightly, and Liu Jing also heard the sound of footsteps, and the door suddenly opened.
When Liu Jing turned around, he saw a few soldiers bringing in one person. The man had only one hand and stared at him with extremely vicious eyes. It was Zhang Shuo who escaped in Wuchang.
Liu Jing was quite annoyed when Zhang Shuo escaped in the end. At that time, Li Qing explained that twenty people were against six people, and Zhang Shuo's five subordinates tried their best to protect Zhang Shuo, which made Zhang Shuo escape by chance.
Although Li Qing had tried his best, Liu Jing still beat him ten-army sticks again. Like Liu Biao, Liu Jing only looked at the results in some way.
Zhang Shuo's appearance did not make Liu Jing fucked. This person was lucky enough to die and could only surrender to Liu Biao. He had thought of it for a long time, so Liu Jing was not panicked and quietly waited for Zhang Shuo's performance.
Zhang Shuo knelt down and gritted his teeth and said to Liu Biao: "I am reporting to the governor of the state. Zhang Shuo is going to report to this person. He bypassed the governor of the state, seized the army of Wuchang, and appointed the county magistrate without authorization. When we accused him of overcoming power, he ruthlessly killed us. The governor of the state, he had already annexed Jiangxia, attempting to seize Jiangxia and gain troops and establish himself."
On the side, Liu Biao looked at Liu Jing coldly. He didn't say anything, waiting for Liu Jing's answer. More than 20 large and round guards stood against the wall, with sharp eyes. He waited for the order from the Zhou Mu to pounce on Liu Jing.
Liu Jing shook his head, "It's really nonsense."
He bowed to Liu Biao again and sneered: "Uncle, if I had the intention to seize Jiangxia and support myself, would I appear in Xiangyang? This is the minimum common sense. Since Jiangxia has been annexed by me, what will I do in Xiangyang?"
"Liu Jing, you feel guilty"
Zhang Shuo shouted loudly: "If you worship the governor of the state, why did you negotiate with Jiangdong without authorization? This was decided by the governor of the state. Why did you exceed your authority?"
"Just a clown who catches the wind and shadows"
Liu Jing looked down on his shouting and said to Liu Biao: "I report to my uncle, this person is Huang Zu's confidant. Because he colluded with Huang She, he wanted to seize the troops from Wuchang. Su Fei discovered the crisis and asked me for help. I had just given Su Fei's letter of help to my uncle. If my uncle didn't believe it, I have more evidence, which is the letter from Jiang Zhi colluding with Huang She. It also mentioned Zhang Shuo, whether my uncle allowed me to send someone to get the letter."
"No"
Liu Biao just let Zhang Shuolu show up to attack Liu Jing's arrogance. Today is not the time for the formal liquidation. He waved his hand and said to the left and right guards: "Take him down."
Zhang Shuo's teeth chuckled with hatred and shouted: "I swear, I must kill you and your whole family."
"Does my whole family include my uncle?"
Liu Jing sneered and said to Liu Biao: "Uncle, do you believe such crazy words?"
Liu Biao was also a little angry. He didn't expect Zhang Shuo to be so unbearable. He asked him to testify against Liu Jing, but he shouted wildly, with hatred in his eyes. What's the point of such a testimony?
Liu Biao waved his hand heavily, "Everyone goes down."
After everyone stepped down, Liu Biao held his anger in his heart, stared at Liu Jing and asked, "Why don't you report me and have secretly interacted with Sun Quan?"
Liu Jing laughed, "I have reported to my uncle, there are no less than ten thousand people who died in my hands. He hates me to the core. If there is any news that I have had in private relationship with Sun Quan in Xiangyang, please don't take it to heart. It can only be Jiangdong's counter-essay plan."
"Don't tell me so much"
Liu Biao suddenly became irritated. He actually only wanted to know one sentence, "What should Jiangxia do?" Liu Jing was talking nonsense and refused to talk about key issues. Liu Biao gradually lost patience.
"Tell me simply what you are doing in Xiangyang"
"My nephew wants to report to my uncle about exchanging prisoners of war with Jiangdong. My nephew has thousands of prisoners of war in Jiangdong and tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops in his hands. Sun Quan also has nearly 10,000 prisoners of war in Jingzhou troops. There were four or five thousand prisoners of war sent by Cai Mao last time. My nephew wants to exchange them back."
