Chapter 41

"Tell me, find a suitable method and teach this ignorant little head."
In the study, Cai Mao was discussing the matter with his two clan brothers Cai Zhong and Cai He. As the second person in Jingzhou, Cai Mao was confronted by Liu Jing outside the northern city and was openly humiliated, which made him lose face in front of several people. Cai Mao could not swallow this tone.
Sitting underneath was nephew Cai Jin. Although Cai Jin's injuries had not yet recovered, he was able to get out of bed and leave. As the Cai family brother who had a relationship with Liu Jing, he was also called by Cai Mao.
Although Cai Zhong and Cai and the two had not had very high official positions, they had a very famous reputation. When they mentioned the two tigers of the Cai family in Xiangyang City, everyone would change their colors. Both of them were skilled in martial arts, fierce and brave. No one dared to provoke them. Even the Pang family in Xiangyang had to retreat to their homes.
Today, Cai Zhong suffered a great loss in front of Liu Jing, which almost angered Liu Biao. Although Liu Biao did not blame him, in Liu Biao's heart, his status must have declined. At this time, Cai Zhong was full of anger.
"Sex plotted against him. He could be guarded for a while. Can he be guarded for a lifetime? While he was taking a boat to cross the river to Fancheng, he sank the boat in the river and got rid of him unknowingly. What does the elder brother think?"
Cai He next to him also nodded, "I agree with my brother's opinion. After all, he is Liu Biao's nephew and is covered up by Liu Biao. It is difficult to deal with it openly. You might as well plot against him. As long as there is no evidence, Liu Biao can't deal with the Cai family."
The two brothers said something, and I insisted on secretly getting rid of Liu Jing. At this time, Cai Jin, who was sitting down, couldn't help but say, "Uncle, I think we should act openly and compete to defeat him again. Why use methods to deal with a junior? This will damage the reputation of the Cai family."
"You bastard"
Cai Zhong was furious and turned around and glared at Cai Jin, "You have lost all the Cai family's face, are you still qualified to speak?"
Cai Jin blushed and argued: "At least I am a competition openly. My failure is because I am not as good as others. I have a clear conscience. No one will look down on the Cai family because of this. But you are plotting behind the scenes. This is the act of a villain. Once the provincial governor knows, it will be a disaster for the Cai family. You are just playing with fire."
Cai Zhong is a man with a violent temper. A junior dared to contradict him, which made him very angry. He rushed forward and waved his hand and punched Cai Jin in the face. Cai Jin was injured and could not dodge and was knocked to the ground by a punch.
"Get out of your useless thing, you," Cai Zhong yelled viciously.
Cai Jin endured the severe pain in the wound and stood up slowly. He raised his head and looked at Cai Zhong coldly. His disdainful expression made Cai Zhong even more angry. He clenched his fists and was about to hit him. Cai Mao shouted, "Okay, don't make trouble again."
Seeing that Cai Jin's face turned pale, Cai Mao probably pulled the wound and said, "You go down and don't make your uncle angry anymore."
Cai Jin glanced at Cai Zhong coldly, bowed to Cai Mao, and slowly turned around. Cai Zhong looked at his back and snorted heavily: "The family rebellion that is traitorous"
Cai Mao was a little unhappy when he said this, so he stretched out and said, "Brother, don't say that, my Cai family is not rebellious, only has different ideas."
Cai Zhong stopped talking, and Cai He next to him smiled and said, "Does the head of the family agree with our plan?"
Cai Mao actually didn't agree with the opinions of these two people. If they were ordinary people, it would be okay to kill them, but Liu Jing was Liu Biao's nephew after all, so he was still a little jealous of the mouse.
He pondered for a long time and sighed, "Let me think about it again. I will not be allowed to do my orders. You should not act rashly, do you understand?"
Although Cai Zhong and Cai He were full of anger, they did not dare to disobey the orders of the head of the family. The two looked at each other and had to nod and agree.

Cai Mao came to the backyard in a depressed mood and walked into his uncle Cai Xun's yard. He saw his uncle slowly cleaning the yard with a bamboo broom. Cai Mao did not dare to disturb him and stood at the door.
"What's the matter?" Cai Xun glanced at Cai Mao, but did not stop the broom.
"The second uncle, Liu Biao's nephew, repeatedly offended the Cai family, and his nephew could not bear it anymore."
"Is it the one Liu Jing who wants to marry Shaoyu?"
"yes"
Cai Mao told his uncle Cai Xun about his recent birth one by one, and finally sighed: "I may have nothing to say when the competition failed, but today I faced me in public. My nephew couldn't swallow this tone."
"What are you going to do?" Cai Xun put down the broom, sat down on the stone pier, and asked in a faint tone.
"My nephew is not sure about it for a moment. My fourth brother advocates taking action secretly and killing him. I think it's a bit risky and a little bit less than a loss, so I'll ask my second uncle for advice."
Cai Xun sneered, "He was tit-for-tat to you outside the North City today. Did Liu Biao ask him to apologize to you?"
"This... doesn't seem to be." Cai Mao suddenly recalled a little. Yes, why didn't Liu Biao ask him to apologize to him? Did Liu Biao acquiesce to Liu Jing's ridicule of him?
"Do you understand now?" Cai Xun stared at him with sharp eyes.
Cai Mao wiped the sweat on his forehead, and he suddenly remembered another thing, that is, Liu Jing killed Huang Zu's nephew in Wuchang City. It seemed that Liu Biao had no intention of asking Liu Jing to apologize. Could it be that Liu Biao's attitude towards the Jingzhou family began to change?
"My nephew understands a little."
"Just understand, a sixteen-year-old boy is insignificant. You should pay attention to Liu Biao behind him. This Liu Jing is actually a mirror. He can reflect Liu Biao's attitude towards the Jingzhou family. This is the key. Liu Biao did not make him apologize to Huang Zu. It can be seen that Liu Biao was dissatisfied with Huang Zu's close relationship with Liu Bei. Similarly, Liu Biao acquiesced to his ridicule of you, which means that Liu Biao is also dissatisfied with you."
"It's my nephew who understands." Cai Mao's back was soaked, and his uncle's words awakened him, the person in the game.
Cai Xun smiled again and said, "I don't want to express any opinions on this Liu Jing, but I agree with your point of view. If you have to weigh the pros and cons in everything, kill Liu Jing, what benefits can the Cai family get? Similarly, what benefits will be lost? Let's figure out this out, and you will know what you should do."
Cai Mao nodded silently and killed Liu Jing. It was just apart from Cai Zhongtou's anger, but it made the Cai family bear the danger of being confiscated and exterminated. As a head of the family who bears the future interests of the entire family, he must be clear-headed and not be blinded by hatred.
Cai Xun ignored him anymore and picked up the broom and continued to clean the yard slowly.
Cai Mao bowed and slowly withdrew from the yard. Suddenly, he felt a red shadow flashing not far away. Cai Mao turned around and the current person was hiding around the corner of the yard. He immediately chased after him.
After chasing two doors, Cai Mao saw that the person running ahead was his daughter Shaoyu, and "stopped" Cai Mao shouted angrily.
Cai Shaoyu was so scared that she stopped. Cai Mao walked forward and glared at her daughter, "Have you been following me?"
Cai Shaoyu lowered her head and did not dare to speak. She just heard that her father went to her second grandfather to discuss Liu Jing's affairs. She suspected that it was involved in her marriage, so she came to eavesdrop, but her father showed her.
Cai Mao knew his daughter's thoughts very well, and he said coldly: "Since you are always worried, I will tell you clearly that I have decided to accept Liu Zhoumu's proposal and promise you to his nephew Liu Jing. You will completely die of this heart. Be honest and be prepared to get married."
"No, I won't marry him." Cai Shaoyu shouted in anger.
"You can't help it."
Cai Mao glared at her fiercely, turned around and left. Cai Shaoyu was extremely frightened. She ran forward and hugged her father's arm, "Dad, please don't let me marry him."
Cai Mao may not necessarily marry his daughter to Liu Jing, but he was in a bad mood at this time and his daughter was so ignorant that he was sneakily following him, which made him extremely annoyed.
He wanted to teach this mischievous daughter a lesson. Cai Mao shook her away coldly and strode away. Cai Shaoyu chased after her for a few steps and shouted: "I would rather die than marry him."
"Then you go and die." Cai Mao said a word from afar, and the footsteps disappeared.
Cai Shaoyu didn't know her father's true thoughts. She slowly knelt on the ground, feeling desperate. She suddenly covered her face and burst into tears.
...........
As night fell, Liu Jing quickly came to Liu Biao's inner study under the guidance of a guard. The guard knocked on the door, "Lord, he is here."
"Come in" Liu Biao's voice came from the room, his tone was quite gentle.
The guards pushed them away, and Liu Jing walked in quickly. He knelt down and bowed to Liu Biao, "My nephew greets uncle."
"Get up"
Liu Biao smiled and waved his hand, "I have something to say to you."
Liu Jing sat upright and waited for Liu Biao to speak respectfully. Liu Biao was quite satisfied with Liu Jing's attitude at this time. He could feel Liu Jing's respect, and he did have a kind of respect from the younger generation to the elders.
"Let's talk about your marriage, I think you should know it."
Liu Jing didn't expect that it was just a marriage. He thought it was about Huang Zu or about Gan Ning today. He was not prepared for a while, so he nodded silently and bowed to listen.
"Actually, I first considered Qing'er in this marriage with the Cai family. However, the Cai family is the first family in Jingzhou, with a high position and a powerful position. Qing'er is just my nephew. It is a little separated from her and does not respect the Cai family very much, so I thought of you, which is one of the reasons why I brought you from my hometown."
Speaking of this, Liu Biao looked at Liu Jing, and saw that he was still calm and was not showing any signs of joy. He secretly agreed to his calmness in his heart, and continued: "This is also the reason why I gave you the Xuanlin Sword last time. The Xuanlin Sword is the marriage sword that I made and Cai Mao, but I don't understand why you gave it to Cong'er again. Are you dissatisfied with this marriage?"
After pausing, Liu Biao smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, I just want to have an open and honest conversation with you tonight."
Liu Jing said in silence for a long time: "Does my uncle think it is possible to marry me in the current conflict with the Cai family?"
"Contradiction" Liu Biao laughed, "What's your little thing? If Cai Mao didn't even have this little mind, he would talk about the first family in Jingzhou and the military advisor, don't worry, there is no conflict between you."
