The whole house laughed loudly, Zhuge Liang was ashamed and angry, his face flushed and silent. Liu Jing also knew that he had made a mistake. Zhuge Liang clearly said that he had not married yet, but he revealed his secrets. He didn't know how to explain, so he could only laugh dryly.

At this time, they had been having a banquet for more than half an hour, and each of them had drunk more than a dozen glasses of wine. Seeing that it was almost full of fun, Kuai Yue smiled and said, "Young Master Jing is going to go to war the day after tomorrow. Go back and rest early. Today's banquet will come here. The hospitality is not good, please forgive me."

Liu Jing quickly said a few polite words, saying that the hospitality was excellent. Everyone stood up and sent Liu Jing out of the mansion. Liu Jing deliberately slowed down and walked with Zhuge Liang. He apologized in a low voice: "I just lost my speech after drinking, so I hope Brother Kong Ming should not take it to my heart."

Zhuge Liang shook his head, "Forget it, Mr. Jing has just come to Jingzhou and doesn't understand the situation. I don't blame you."

Liu Jing felt even more strange. He didn't know what was going on and what was wrong with him. He didn't ask too much, so he walked out of Kuai's mansion and Kuai Qi would send him back.

The carriage headed towards Liu's mansion. In the carriage, Liu Jing finally couldn't help asking: "Brother Qi, is it inappropriate for me to say that Kong Ming's marriage?"

Kuai Qi smiled slightly, "Although Huang Chengyan's daughter Yueying is virtuous and has an unparalleled piano skills, she is really ugly, with yellow hair and black face, thin and weak, and is not a good husband. Therefore, the people in Jingzhou joked privately and mocked someone for being unlucky, that is, marrying the Huang family's daughter. Although this is rude, it has become a common saying. So the young master said that Kong Ming married Yueying, and he thought the young master was mocking him."

Liu Jing scratched his head and realized that it seemed that Zhuge Liang was quite brave and eventually married Huang Yueying.

The carriage arrived at Liu's mansion very soon. It was already dark. Two large lanterns were hung above the door of the mansion. Several guards who were usually standing at the door also retreated to the mansion. The steps were extremely quiet and there was no one.

Liu Jing jumped out of the carriage and bowed to Kuai Qi, "Thank you, Mr. Kuai, for sending you off, we will have a date later."

"There will be a period later"

The carriage turned around and drove towards the east of the city, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

Liu Jing pulled his body for a long time, loosened his muscles and bones, and walked quickly to the steps. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling him, "Liu Jing" behind him

When Liu Jing turned around, he saw a horse-riding man standing under a tree dozens of steps away. The night was dark and he could only roughly see a contour clearly. He was a petite woman, but when she called her just now, Liu Jing already knew who she was.

The visitor was not good, and Liu Jing became alert. He walked up slowly and asked with a smile: "Is it Miss Cai?"

The girl riding a horse was Cai Shaoyu. She had been waiting for Liu Jing for almost half an hour, and finally waited for him back. She said coldly: "Come with me."

"Miss Cai, it's too late. Let's talk about anything else."

Liu Jing already knew the reason for the sword, and could understand some inexplicable hatred for her, and even felt a little sympathetic to her.

She likes Liu Cong, and Liu Cong likes her too, but she made a fuss, causing both of them to suffer. In fact, it’s not my fault, but Liu Biao blames him for making random couples. It’s just that he understands their pain that Liu Jing’s tone of speaking softly at this time.

"Liu Jing, if you are a man, come with me."

Cai Shaoyu turned her horse's head and ran towards a bend ahead. Liu Jing pondered for a while, and he really wanted to make the words clear.

Cai Shaoyu stopped the horse in front of a secluded alley. She did not bring any of the Cai warriors. Her father's warning made her eventually give up her stupid ideas.

She looked at Liu Jing with hatred and walked forward slowly, pointed at the horse whip, and shouted with her eyebrows: "I want to make it clear that I would rather die than marry you, a bastard."

Liu Jing said lightly: "Miss, please understand one thing first. I don't want to marry you at all, and I don't have the idea of ​​marrying you at all."

Cai Shaoyu was stunned, as if she was being poured on by a basin of ice water. The anger in her heart suddenly faded for a long time. After a while, she asked again: "Since that's the case, why did you take over the Xuanlin Sword?"

Liu Jing pulled out the Xuanlin sword and waved it twice, then took back the scabbard, shook his head and said, "In my eyes, it is just a sharp sword and has nothing to do with marriage. I only learned tonight that this sword is related to you, so I decided that I will not want this sword again."

Liu Jing's clear statement calmed down most of the anger in Cai Shaoyu's heart, and another kind of hope ignited in her heart. Perhaps Liu Jing could help her achieve her wish.

She bit her lip and said, "Who are you going to give this sword?"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "This... should be returned to the provincial governor. Of course, if the girl has a designated candidate, I can also help the girl. I have always liked to help others."

Cai Shaoyu hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't say it. Helplessly, she had to sigh secretly: "Then you give it to the provincial governor, but why do you refuse? What is your reason?"

“There are many reasons”

Liu Jing smiled and said, "For example, the woman I like is gentle and kind, beautiful, and well-educated. In short, it is not a person like a girl. I think my uncle can understand my difficulties and will not force me. Isn't this a solution?"

Although Liu Jing said it seriously, Cai Shaoyu felt very uncomfortable. He was clearly mocking herself. She was a little angry in her heart and held back her anger: "What do I look like in your heart?"

Liu Jing called out, "I said just now, didn't the girl ask questions knowingly?"

"you....."

Cai Shaoyu's eldest lady had a temper again and glared at Liu Jing and said, "You mean, I am a rude and rude person, am I an ugly person, right?"

"This is what the girl admits herself, I didn't say."

"You bastard"

Cai Shaoyu was furious and rushed up to raise her whip. Liu Jing was prepared for a long time. Before she could attack, she turned around and ran away. He heard his laughter from the door of the mansion from afar. "Miss Cai, if you continue to be so fierce, no one dares to marry you. Even if I throw this sword on the street, no one dares to pick it up."

Cai Shaoyu was so angry that she was filled with smoke. She watched Liu Jing enter the mansion. She hated her teeth itched and turned around and whipped it hard on the tree trunk.

...........

Liu Jing returned to the yard and was about to knock on the door, but someone walked out of the darkness, "Brother Jing, I have something to ask you for trouble."

The person who came was Liu Cong. Liu Jing couldn't help but sigh, "It's not a family, if you don't enter the family, you really make a pair of people."

"What did you say?" Liu Cong asked in confusion.

"Nothing, go inside and talk."

The courtyard gate was not locked, and Liu Jing pushed the door directly into it, while Liu Cong followed behind with a worry. The two walked into Liu Jing's room. The room was no longer as shabby and empty as when they first came. There was a lot of furniture, a copper lamp, and a couch with a screen, so that they could cover the quilt and lean against the screen to read books.

The two sat down. At this time, Liu Cong was no longer as arrogant as he was at the beginning. Many things that changed by sword comparison were the most direct change that Liu Jing won respect, and even Liu Cong became humble. This is the truth from ancient times to the present: he had a big fist and was always easy to talk.

"Cai Jin asked me to tell you for your gratitude and thank you for returning the sword to him." Liu Cong said first.

"How is he now?"

"Fortunately, he only suffered a little minor injury and did not hurt his muscles, bones and internal organs. He can recover after a month or two."

Liu Cong hesitated for a moment. In fact, he wanted to talk about Cai Shaoyu's affairs. He hesitated again: "Today, Military Advisor Cai mentioned your marriage. Judging from his tone, he seemed to be planning to betroth Shaoyu to you. Shaoyu cried for an afternoon..."

Speaking of this, Liu Cong raised his head timidly and looked at Liu Jing with anticipation, hoping that he could show enough sympathy.

Liu Jing took off the Xuanlin sword and put it on the table, and pushed it to him, "I met Miss Cai tonight. I told her clearly that I will not marry her. Brother Cong. From now on, this sword is yours."

Liu Cong looked at the sword blankly, and he felt an indescribable sorrow in his heart. He was a little moved and ashamed. He gently stroked the sword. After a long time, he sighed, "Brother Jing, I apologize to you for my previous rudeness."

Liu Cong is a very arrogant person at heart, selfish and mean, and it is difficult to get along with others. But he is also an ordinary person after all, and he also has a kind side. When Liu Jing showed magnanimity and generosity, he was also moved and was willing to take the initiative to bow his head and apologize to Liu Jing. This was unimaginable in the past.

But this is also the charm of Liu Jing's personality. He is cheerful, open-minded, and has a skillful relationship that is not consistent with his age. He knows how to get along with others. Even Cai Jin was defeated by him and was convinced.

But this does not mean that he can be bullied. He has his own bottom line and principles, and also his own dignity. Whoever dares to infringe on his bottom line and principles and insults his dignity will fight back more ruthlessly and more viciously.

In his opinion, it was completely unnecessary for Liu Cong to be jealous of love. He patted Liu Cong on the shoulder and smiled and said, "The reason I gave you the sword is not to care about brotherly love and let you do it. It is because I don't like Miss Cai. I don't know the meaning of this sword, otherwise I wouldn't accept it at all."

"But... Shaoyu is the daughter of the first family in Jingxiang. How many people can't ask for it, but you disdain it. I really don't understand."

Liu Jing smiled, "If you can marry four or five wives, it would be okay to have one more, but you can only marry one wife. Of course, I have to choose the best one. Brother Cong, don't you think Miss Cai is a little too spoiled, do I not afford to marry such a wife?"

Liu Cong nodded silently, and understood what Liu Jing said about being spoiled. It was obviously cruel, willful, unreasonable, and not very beautiful. His appearance was worse than Le Ji in Lefang, but... she was Cai Mao's only daughter.

If you don't marry her, how can you compete with your elder brother for the inheritance rights of the lord of Jingzhou?

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Jing. You don't understand some things in Jingzhou, and you will know in the future."

"All right"

Liu Jing nodded and smiled, "I will go to Jiangxia to fight with the army the day after tomorrow. I hope that when I come back, I will hear good news about Brother Cong's engagement."
