"Whether it is true or not, we actually have a very simple way." Kuai Liang thought for a while and said to Huang Zu.

"What can we do?" Huang Zu asked.

"It's very simple. We just need to send the news of the assassination of the young master back to Xiangyang, and then announce that the assassin did not succeed and was killed by us instead." Kuai Liang said.

"Mr. Kuai Liang, do you mean to lure the snake out of its hole?" Huang Zu thought for a while and then said to Kuai Liang.

"Yes! It's just to lure the snake out of the hole. Since the other party wants to put the young master to death, if he knows that the young master is fine, he will definitely send someone here."

"When the time comes, we just need to wait and see."

Upon hearing this, Huang Zu nodded, then turned and left, preparing to send people to implement Kuai Liang's plan.

The news quickly spread back to Xiangyang. When Cai Mao learned that Liu Qi had been assassinated, he was stunned.

In his mind, he immediately thought of one person, and that was his biological sister, Mrs. Cai.

Therefore, Cai Mao didn't care that it was almost dark now and rushed directly into Liu Biao's prefecture.

At this time, Liu Biao's health was getting worse and worse as the Han army besieged the city, and he was basically bedridden.

Cai Mao has been fully responsible for the affairs in Xiangyang City.

Although Cai Mao was greedy for power, and although he wanted Liu Qi to die and promoted Liu Cong to be the shepherd of Jingzhou, he was not stupid.

He knew what it would mean if Liu Qi died at this time. Therefore, in Cai Mao's heart, he did not want Liu Qi to have an accident at this time.

Even if Liu Qi really dies, he must not die in his own hands.

He had been asked to stay by his sister, Mrs. Cai, and discussed this matter before, but Cai Mao refused.

He never expected that his good sister would dare to go behind his back and send an assassin to kill Liu Qi.

Don't ask how Cai Mao knew it was the person sent by Madam Cai. The reason is very simple. If Liu Qi dies, who will benefit the most?

Besides Cai Mao, there is Liu Cong.

He definitely did not send anyone there. Liu Cong was still a child, so it is self-evident who sent the assassin.

Cai Mao came to the door of Mrs. Cai's house, pushed open the door, and asked loudly: "How dare you!"

Mrs. Cai was frightened by Cai Mao's scolding. Liu Cong, who was being fed by Mrs. Cai at the side, was frightened and cried immediately.

"Be good, Cong'er don't cry, Cong'er don't cry." Madam Cai touched Liu Cong's head and comforted her. After Liu Cong stopped crying, Madam Cai handed Liu Cong to her personal maid.

Only then did he have time to turn around and look at Cai Mao.

"Brother, what's going on?" At this time, Mrs. Cai had already guessed the reason why Cai was questioning her, but she was still pretending to be dumbfounded.

"Let me ask you, was it you who filmed someone to assassinate Liu Qi?" Cai Mao asked directly to Mrs. Cai.

Mrs. Cai smiled slightly when she heard Cai Mao's words, and then continued, "Is this why my brother came to question me so late?"

"Is it because Liu Qi is such a traitor that makes Cong'er cry?"

"Don't talk nonsense to me. I'm asking you now, are you the one who sent people to assassinate Liu Qi?"

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? I asked my brother for help before, but he refused, so I have to do it myself." Mrs. Cai's face was relaxed, as if she was talking about something too small to be trivial.

"How dare you! Don't you know what time it is now? Since you still dare to assassinate Liu Qi!"

"Do you know? If Liu Qi dies, at least half of the aristocratic families in Jingzhou will directly surrender to the Han army. What will we do to resist the Han army then!" Cai Mao now wanted to slap his sister twice.

"How could it be possible? Our city of Xiangyang has high walls and thick walls, so why can't we stop the Han army?" Mrs. Cai still didn't understand the seriousness of the matter now.

"When fighting between aristocratic families, you can use any method, but you cannot use assassination. You have violated a taboo!"

"If assassination is used, then everyone needs to be on guard against their opponents. Will they send someone to assassinate them today? Then everyone will not have to do it in the future!"

"The Jingzhou family has made an agreement a long time ago. Fighting is allowed, but assassination is not allowed. You have offended all the Jingzhou families! Do you think they will support Liu Cong in the future?"

"Would they support a person who can only send people to assassinate him as their lord?"

"Besides, I told you that now is the time for me, Jingzhou, to unite and fight against the threat of the Han army!"

"At this time, you are sending people to assassinate Liu Qi. Have you ever thought about how we can resist the Han army? The tens of thousands of troops in Liu Qi's hands, as well as Huang Zu of Jiangxia, are missing at this time."

"Now in the whole of Jingbei, only Xiangyang is left as an isolated city. All the Han troops who were supposed to attack other cities are now heading towards Xiangyang."

"At that time, the Han army outside the city will not be 150,000, but may become 250,000 or even 350,000. Tell me, what can we do to resist it?" Cai Mao really wanted to be beaten by his sister

So angry.

When Mrs. Cai heard Cai Mao's words, she was also stunned. He did not expect that just assassinating Liu Qi would cause such a big mess.

"Then what should we do now?" Mrs. Cai was also a little panicked.

Cai Mao was relieved when he heard that Mrs. Cai was a little scared.

"Fortunately, the assassin you sent failed and Liu Qi did not die. Although I don't know where Liu Qi is now, I have sent people to find him."

"After I find Liu Qi, I will send someone to comfort Liu Qi and let him lead troops to come to the rescue." Cai Mao said slowly to Mrs. Cai.

But Cai Mao may have also underestimated the extent to which a woman would go crazy.

"What, Liu Qi is not dead?" Mrs. Cai asked.

"It's okay, I just got a little frightened. I will send someone to comfort him later. Don't think about unrealistic things."

"I have said that I will nominate Cong'er as the state shepherd. The most important thing for us now is to secure the position."

"Now in the Jingbei region, there is only an isolated city of Xiangyang. We need Liu Qi. You should stop thinking about assassinating Liu Qi and just stay in Xiangyang." After saying this, Cai Mao didn't care whether Mrs. Cai understood it or not.

Just turned around and left.

He completely ignored Cai's eyes, which showed a look of resentment after hearing that Liu Qi was fine.

"This treacherous son has nothing wrong with him? Impossible!"

"No, Liu Qi must die. Now we have broken up with Liu Qi. If he doesn't die, he will definitely become a disaster in the future."

"Xiangyang is under siege. Considering the relationship between me and Liu Qi, will he still come to save Xiangyang? Only if Liu Qi dies, the Jingzhou family will have no choice, and they will support Cong'er unconditionally!" Cai thought to herself.

.

She couldn't listen to other words now, she only wanted Liu Qi to die.

In fact, to a certain extent, Cai’s ideas cannot be solved.

After all, there are only two people in Jingzhou who are qualified to succeed Jingzhou Mu. One is Liu Qi and the other is Liu Cong.
