At this time, Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang were also anxious. The person the elder brother wanted to see had checked out. What a coincidence.
"Uncle, the roads extend in all directions, and the city gate has four exits. I really don't know which way they took."
The inn boy said with an innocent face.
"Brother, my third brother and I will go look for each other separately?"
"No need, Yun Chang. I guess it's because the fate between me and Mr. Kong Ming hasn't come yet. Let's pack up and go to Xinye."
Liu Bei said with a wry smile, "Where can I find so many of them?" He also had a vague feeling in his heart that Mr. Shui Jing didn't seem to welcome him.
In fact, Liu Bei really guessed wrong. The person Mr. Shui Jing did not want his disciple to see was not him.
At this time, an ox cart was slowly moving forward on a flat road.
Mr. Shui Jing walked leisurely behind with his disciples Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying.
"Sir, why don't you want your apprentice to see that young master?"
Although Zhuge Liang was still young, he was as smart as a monster. He soon realized that his husband's statement about Liu Qi's "good manly style" was just a rhetoric.
"Haha, now the second young master Liu Cong has succeeded to the position of palace lord. He is still a commoner. If his name is not correct, his words will not be smooth. Moreover, the old palace lord Liu Biao said it himself."
"All the powerful families behind Cai Mao are attached to the new head of the palace, Liu Cong, but his eldest brother is still here. I'm afraid Liu Qi will be behind bars soon."
"A gentleman doesn't stand behind a dangerous wall. It's better to stay away from this young master at this time..."
Sima Hui explained to his disciple Zhuge Liang why he did not see Liu Qi.
hehe……
At this time, Liu Qi was smiling in the inn. Huang Xu described everything about what happened at the inn in the morning. Liu Bei showed an ugly expression when he turned around...
Although it passed by in a flash, it was still captured by the attentive Huang Xu.
"What are you laughing at, eldest son?"
Huang Xu asked confusedly, isn't he a child prodigy named Zhuge Liang?
"This man is not simple. If he is released too early, Jizhou Prefecture may be unsettled."
Liu Qi was well aware of Zhuge Liang's power. As soon as his second brother Liu Cong succeeded him as the head of the palace, Liu Bei deceived him into taking Xinye away.
If Zhuge Liang were to assist him, I am afraid that within a few years Jizhou Mu would still be named Liu, but not Liu Cong's Liu, but Liu Bei's Liu.
This was because he secretly helped his second brother when he left. He couldn't bear to ruin his father's great foundation in his hands.
Huang Xu was confused, but he remembered Zhuge Liang's name in his heart.
Because of this, Huang Xu later escaped disaster on the battlefield. He was still frightened many years later. Of course, what he admired even more was the eldest son's foresight.
"Report to the eldest son, General Cai, please come to the banquet..."
"No, it's not easy for me to drink during my mourning period for my father..."
"Report to the eldest son, General Cai please..."
"No, my eldest son is ill today..."
Liu Qi was leisurely drinking tea in the room. In three days, his father's March 7th holiday would be over and it would be time to leave the Jizhou Mufu.
There is no good banquet and no good wine. It seems that Cai Hao still refuses to give up.
The invitations sent for three days in a row were all rejected, and no more invitations came to my door.
But on the sixth day, Liu Qi was lost in thought with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Da Lang, I know that I have never been fond of you in the past. I don't know when we will meet again. Your father had a message before his death. See you at Yungui Inn tonight..."
The signature is Cai, and the small character Juanxiu is written by a woman.
Liu Qi had seen this handwriting before, and it was undoubtedly written by Aunt Cai.
I met Aunt Cai once before the mourning hall, and she looked even prettier in her white mourning dress, but I didn't have time to speak at that time.
If you have something to tell me, could this be a trap, or is Aunt Cai trying to resolve the past feud? Liu Qi pondered.
Last time, I could feel that Aunt Cai was not hostile to me on the surface because her second brother succeeded her as the head of the palace.
However, it was not appropriate to meet at this time. Aunt Cai was still her elder after all, and this was before her father's funeral was over.
Could it be another trap set by Cai Mao? But the price is high enough, using his own sister as bait.
I'm afraid even the second brother Liu Cong will have opinions about his biological uncle if he finds out about this.
"Eldest Young Master, let me tell you that we still can't go. What if this is a trap designed by Cai Hao? They have the strength in numbers..."
Huang Xu was interrupted by Dian Wei before he could finish his words. Naturally, this guy was so coaxing that he would beat them up.
"Go to the appointment, pack everything up, and leave Jizhou tomorrow."
Liu Qi waved his hand and Dian Wei and Huang Xu stopped arguing. They always followed the eldest son's orders without compromise.
As night fell, a figure came out of the Jizhou Mufu and got on the sedan.
"Go to Yungui Inn."
There was a hint of coldness in the voice, and there was no expression on her pretty face.
It was Aunt Cai, wearing a black cloak and holding a piece of paper in her hand with a line of words written on it.
At this time, Liu Qi slowly walked up the stairs while shaking his folding fan.
The location is in the private room on the third floor, but it seems that the inn is quite deserted today.
No other guests could be seen except the guy leading the way.
"Sir, this is the room. The younger one has retired."
The guy who led the way bowed and left with a smile on his face.
The door to the private room was ajar, and there was no guard guarding the door.
Liu Qi no longer considered whether it was a trap set by Cai Mao.
With a gentle push of the hand, the ajar door was pushed open, and a dignified woman sat at a table inside.
"You came!"
Seeing the eldest son Liu Qi push in the door, Aunt Cai who was sitting there just said three words coldly, and she was also vaguely hostile.
This weird scene also confused Liu Qi. He was not here at your invitation. Instead, he felt like Aunt Cai was forced into this scene.
"I didn't expect you to be so scheming, Dalang. The last time I treated my body odor, I didn't get rid of the roots at all. Instead, it would get worse after three years. If you want to make any conditions, just tell me. I still have something to do."
Before Liu Qi could speak, Aunt Cai suddenly stood up, her eyebrows raised, pointing with her finger, her delicate body trembling.
It was half a year after we met in front of the mourning hall, and it was clear to me what kind of virtue Liu Qi had in the past.
However, on that day, his younger brother Cai Mao was rendered speechless by the refutation, and that wave of his finger felt like a thousand catties of force.
Liu Qi looked very similar to Liu Biao. At that moment, Aunt Cai's heart trembled, thinking that the master was back again.
He is handsome and unrestrained, and has an extraordinary bearing. At the same time, he is blaming himself in his heart. Although it is for his son, it is too unfair to the eldest son.
However, Aunt Cai was really angry when she received a note with threatening words today.
I thought that the eldest son was already an upright man, but he was still a dirty and shameless villain.
