Suddenly, the sound of a long sword being unsheathed came from the side hall.
The sword's blade stood in the air, buzzing.
The guards and chamberlains outside the palace all felt a chill in their necks and could not help but shrink their necks, as if their necks were about to be chopped off by Liu Biao. These chamberlains and chamberlains were also insiders and knew what had happened and why Liu Biao was angry.
"Crack!"
A white light flashed suddenly, and the corner of the desk fell down.
Liu Biao was furious, holding a three-foot long sword and pacing back and forth in the hall.
In anger, Liu Biao's chest rose and fell, and his long beard swayed uneasily. He was so irritable that he looked like an angry lion, ready to bite his prey at any time. Liu Biao was not a tycoon who wanted to dominate the world, but for his own
One-third of an acre of land is taken very seriously and regarded as life.
No matter who wants to rob him, he will have to bear his wrath.
Liu Biao was in charge of Xiangyang, and everything in the city was under Liu Biao's control.
Any disturbance in the city could not be hidden from Liu Biao.
When news spread from various places such as wine shops, shops, inns, and markets that Liu Bei had secretly led troops back to Xiangyang, Liu Biao became angry when he got the news.
Liu Biao did not investigate who was the person who spread the rumor.
Liu Biao's mind was not on who was spreading the rumor. What he was thinking about was that Liu Bei secretly ran back to Xiangyang and hid quietly in Zhuge Liang's house. This made Liu Biao suspect that Liu Bei had the idea of rebellion. At the same time, Liu Biao had always been generous to Zhuge Liang's family and paid a lot of attention.
Many, but Zhuge Liang harbored Liu Bei, which made Liu Biao frustrated and angry.
Liu Biao was old, but the sword in his hand was very sharp.
At this moment, Liu Biao had murderous intentions in his heart.
Liu Biao vented his anger alone, and his mood improved slightly.
He held up his long sword and roared: "Come here!"
The hoarse voice kept echoing in the hall. When the guards outside the hall heard Liu Biao's voice, they hurriedly ran in respectfully and stood in the hall waiting for Liu Biao's instructions.
Liu Biao shouted: "Send an order to summon Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and Cai Mao to come and see you."
"promise!"
The guard answered with his fists clasped, feeling relieved.
Facing Liu Biao, the guard felt a huge pressure. He felt as if he was stuck in a quagmire and was very uncomfortable. When the guard turned to leave, he found that the clothes on his back were cold and wet.
It can be like this for a moment.
From this we can see how angry Liu Biao was, which had already made the guards walk on thin ice.
When the guards were walking out of the palace, a chamberlain hurried in, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji are asking for an audience outside the palace."
The guard who was heading out of the palace heard something in his ears and said to himself that since everyone was here, he didn't need to go.
When Liu Biao heard that Cai Mao and his four men were coming, he immediately ordered: "Xuan!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Biao walked toward the main hall carrying a three-foot green sword. As he walked, his eyes were cold, his expression was serious, and he was filled with murderous intent, which made people shudder. Especially Liu Biao was holding a long sword, which made the guards and maids in the corridor
Trembling and terrified, Liu Biao let out long sighs wherever he walked.
Liu Biao got angry and was very frightening, giving people the impression that the sky was about to fall.
Liu Biao is usually kind and generous, giving people the appearance of an elder.
However, an honest man who is usually kind and generous is angry. If he is not angry, it will be a violent storm. Because of this, many attendants and guards feel palpitated and afraid of Liu Biao.
Liu Biao was angered and had no good fruits to eat.
Liu Bei is in danger.
Liu Biao was sitting on the throne, holding a long sword.
The appearance was full of murderous intent. When Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji walked in, they saw Liu Biao's movements and expressions, and each had their own thoughts in their hearts.
Cai Mao was overjoyed when he saw Liu Biao's anger. He thought that if he added fuel to the fire, Liu Bei would be killed by Liu Biao. Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang looked at each other with solemn expressions in their eyes. Yi Ji saw Liu Biao
After the expression, his heart sank to the bottom. Liu Bei really suffered a big fall this time. If he didn't handle it well, he would be in danger.
The four of them bowed to Liu Biao and then stood aside without sitting down.
Liu Biao said: "All four of you know about Liu Bei, what do you think about it?"
The sound is very calm, but it gives people an extremely dangerous feeling.
Cai Mao was eager to give it a try. He immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, Liu Bei secretly sneaked back to Xiangyang and brought back soldiers. He obviously had ulterior motives. Such a person staying in Xiangyang must be a disaster. If my lord lets him stay, Jingzhou will be in trouble."
Sooner or later, it will become Liu Bei's bag, please be careful, my lord!"
As soon as Cai Mao opened his mouth, he went straight to the point and labeled Liu Bei a 'disaster'.
Liu Biao seemed a little moved after hearing this.
In fact, Liu Biao was already thinking about deploying troops to arrest Liu Bei. But Liu Bei just sneaked back to Xiangyang quietly without showing any trace of rebellion. If he arrested Liu Bei indiscriminately, it would be unfair, so Liu Biao wanted to
Only after extensive solicitation of opinions can an order be made.
Liu Biao looked at Kuai Yue again and asked, "Xiandu, what do you think?"
Kuai Yue cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Liu Bei is a dignified king of Han, and he will definitely not succumb to others. He lives in Jingzhou. Although he has not shown any objection, he believes that Liu Bei has great intentions and must be on guard. Moreover, Liu Bei should be there at this moment.
He commanded soldiers on the front line to resist the Shu army, but now he quietly returns to Xiangyang, which makes people suspicious."
After hearing this, Yi Ji frowned tightly, with a solemn look on his face.
Kuai Yue's words carry a lot of weight.
These words made Liu Biao hate Liu Bei even more.
Immediately, Kuai Liang said: "My lord, Liu Bei is a great man, and you must be on your guard. But Liu Bei is the King of Han, and he also calls himself a clan member of the Han Dynasty. With this status, my lord cannot take action against him at will.
Otherwise, the lord's reputation will be damaged. I think this matter must be carefully considered."
Yiji let out a sigh of relief after listening to Kuai Liang's words.
Finally, there is someone who is willing to be more rational. If Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang become one and insist that Liu Bei is going to cause rebellion, he will not be able to reverse the situation even if he has all kinds of means.
Yi Ji immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "King Chu, I have a question in my heart, and I won't be happy if I don't express it."
Liu Biao smiled and said, "Uncle Ji, tell me what you have to say."
Yiji said loudly: "All the people have rumors that Liu Bei is preparing to rebel, but is there any real evidence? Does Liu Bei's quiet return to Xiangyang indicate that Liu Bei is going to rebel? As Mr. Zirou said, Liu Bei is a member of the Han Dynasty clan.
Dear, my lord is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so you must be careful when it involves your lord’s reputation.”
Cai Mao said coldly: "Yi Ji, I think you defected to Liu Bei, that's why you said this, right?"
Liu Biao looked at Yi Ji with a cold expression.
Yi Ji looked calm and said with a smile: "General Cai, don't you feel guilty for spitting blood? What I mean is that you can't wrongly accuse a good person, and you can't let a bad person go. It is indeed wrong for Liu Bei to return to Xiangyang without authorization, but the King of Chu directly sent troops to attack
If you kill Liu Bei, you will definitely get a bad reputation and give people the impression of being violent."
After a pause, Yi Ji continued: "My suggestion is to send troops to invite Liu Bei into the palace, and the King of Chu can inquire in detail to determine the specific situation. If Liu Bei is willing to enter the palace, things will be easier to handle; if Liu Bei is not willing to enter the palace,
Or he could escape and immediately send troops to chase Liu Bei, so that the King of Chu will not be infamy."
After hearing this, Liu Biao felt that this suggestion was good.
If Liu Bei didn't want to come, he immediately had an excuse to kill him.
If Liu Bei enters the palace, Liu Biao can naturally question Liu Bei. If Liu Bei cannot answer, or the answer is not sufficient, Liu Biao will also have a reason to kill Liu Bei. After Liu Biao thought about it, a bright smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
With a smile on his face, he ordered: "Uncle Ji, it's up to you to handle this matter. Immediately take people to invite Liu Bei into the palace."
"promise!"
Yiji was overjoyed and felt relieved.
If he does this, he will have room to turn around. If the matter falls into the hands of Cai Mao, he will definitely lead his troops to Longzhong to arrest people, and there will be no chance of turning around.
Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang looked at Yi Ji with intriguing expressions on their faces.
Cai Mao clenched his fists, his expression was gloomy, and he glanced at Yi Ji hatefully, with a look of resentment flashing in his eyes.
