Huang Zu's face was extremely embarrassed. He couldn't say a word for a long time. Only then did he realize that Liu Jing was very powerful. He obviously killed his nephew, but he seized the righteousness. He fell into a passive position as soon as he opened his mouth. Huang Zu was speechless and had to hold hatred in his heart.

At this time, Liu Bei walked out and smiled and said, "Young Master Jing, since Huang Yi is dead, no matter what he did before, it will be over. Now we are here to quell the riots. The Eastern Wu navy is out of the way. We should put the overall situation first. Can you give me a face? Let this matter be temporarily put."

Liu Jing was waiting for Liu Bei, so of course he could not keep track of it. How could Liu Biao offend Huang Zu for a few common people? Liu Biao ignored this matter at all, and it was very likely that he would even apologize to Huang Zu.

Since Huang Zu was willing to calm down and no longer pursue the matter, Liu Jing naturally went astray and turned big things into small things. However, he had to let Liu Bei take over this favor. He knew that Liu Bei would definitely stand up at a critical moment and be a peacemaker, otherwise he would not be Liu Bei.

Liu Jing quickly bowed and said, "Since the emperor's uncle speaks, I dare not obey orders and are willing to obey the emperor's uncle's mediation."

Liu Bei was very proud and smiled at Huang Zu, "Premier Huang, since the person was not killed by Prince Jing, but someone else, then this is a misunderstanding. Enemies should be resolved rather than formed. Prefect Huang, look..."

Huang Zu also knew that there was no way to deal with Liu Jing. Not to mention that he was not killed by him, even if he killed him, he would not be able to avenge this revenge. He had to hold back his anger and give Liu Bei a face.

"Since Brother Xuande comes forward, let's give up this matter and disturb your army tonight."

He bowed to Wang Wei again, "Duke Zhi, say goodbye."

He glanced at Liu Jing coldly, ignored him, turned around and walked out of the camp, and more than a hundred people followed him and left quickly.

Liu Jing smiled helplessly. Although he didn't want to, he had formed a grudge with Huang Zu, that reckless girl in black dress.

In the Xiangyang Chengzhou Muslim Palace, a report soldier rushed over and got off the horse, ran up the steps and said to the gatekeeper: "Please report to the lord, Jiang Xia has an urgent letter."

The concierge manager did not dare to neglect him, so he asked the informed soldiers to enter the mansion and ran to report.

In the study, Liu Biao was sitting under the lamp reading a letter, looking a little restless. Liu Bei had been leading his army east for five days and had just sent someone to send a letter.

In fact, Liu Biao did not take Zhang Wu and Chen Sun's rebellion to heart. The key was that the 30,000 Eastern Wu naval troops in Jiangxia were his confidant.

Although Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son died one after another, the desire to move east and west in Jiangxia has never died. Jiangxia is the first stop for the Jiangdong Army to move westward, and a war will break out sooner or later.

In Liu Bei's letter, Liu Bei detailed Jiangdong's strategic intentions, pointing out that Jiangdong not only made Jiangxia through naval forces, but also very likely to march into Changsha. Changsha County is now in short supply, and Liu Bei recommended himself to guard Changsha County in the letter.

Liu Bei actually wanted to guard Changsha, and Liu Biao sneered, probably because he was not satisfied with any kindness.

At this time, a report from the concierge manager came from the yard, "Master, Jiang Xia has an emergency letter."

Liu Biao was excited and quickly ordered: "Come on."

Soon after, a guard entered the room and presented a letter. Liu Biao took it and took a look. It was indeed a letter sent by Wang Wei, and he was waiting for Wang Wei's news.

Liu Biao opened the letter impatiently and read it hurriedly. The letter talked about three things: one is that Liu Bei and Huang Zu have close contacts, the second is that the young master Liu Jing killed the nephew of Huang Zu who did evil in Wuchang City, and the third is that Huang Zu used thousands of private soldiers to search Wuchang City on a large scale.

This letter made Liu Biao both angry and worried. It was because Huang Zu had used private soldiers to search the city without his consent.

The Jingzhou family owned private soldiers and had always been a heart-wrenching problem for Liu Biao. When he had not taken office, bandits were rampant in Jingzhou. In order to protect himself, the major families formed private soldiers.

Later, in order to get the support of the Jingzhou family, Liu Biao acquiesced the existence of their private soldiers. Until now, a serious problem of being too big to lose.

He ordered several times, but without his consent, he was not allowed to use private soldiers without any permission. However, his orders were ineffective. Huang Zu went out to search the city again, which made Liu Biao a little unbearable.

Not only did Huang Zu use his private soldiers to give Liu Biao a headache, but he and Liu Bei had secret contacts.

Liu Biao stood up and paced back and forth in the room with his hands. Although Wang Wei did not explicitly say how Liu Bei and Huang Zu were dating closely, Liu Biao could vaguely guess what agreement the two of them had probably reached.

What is Huang Zu trying to do? Is it no wonder that Liu Bei proposed to station in Changsha County. He echoed Huang Zu from north to south, and half of Jingzhou was separated. He had a good idea of ​​planning.

But will Huang Zu betray him? Liu Biao feels it is unlikely. After all, Huang Zu has followed him for many years and has always been loyal. Liu Bei has just come to Jingzhou. It can be said that he has nothing but reputation. Huang Zu cannot betray him for Liu Bei.

The two of them may have had close contact for other interests, and Liu Biao pondered for a moment. No matter what, Liu Bei seemed to be unwilling to be lonely and had to arrange him to go to Xinye as soon as possible to resist Cao's army.

At this time, the study door opened, and Mrs. Cai walked into the study with a bowl of bird's nest porridge. She put down the porridge bowl and smiled and said, "Why is the general worried? Is it because Uncle Liu sent troops unfavorable?"

Mrs. Cai also heard that someone was sending a letter from Jiangxia. It was probably the letter that attracted her husband's worries.

Liu Biao shook his head, "No big deal. Liu Bei's army has not attacked Zhang Wu yet, it's just a small deal."

Liu Biao did not want to say more about Liu Bei to his wife. If he talked too much, Cai Mao would have ideas, which would affect his plans. He looked at his wife's puzzled eyes, smiled faintly, and added: "The letter only says that Huang Zu's nephew did evil in Wuchang City and was killed by Jing'er."

"What"

Mrs. Cai's thoughts were suddenly attracted by Liu Jing's incident. She raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "He dared to be so bold and kill the Huang family's nephew. Isn't this asking for trouble for the general?"

Liu Biao frowned slightly, "Madam, there should be some reason here. Don't rush to draw a conclusion. The letter also said that Huang Zu's son and nephew were killed for doing evil. We don't know what evil he did. Moreover, Huang Zu and Jing'er have reconciled, so don't think too seriously."

Mrs. Cai came to the study tonight to talk about the marriage between Liu Cong and the Cai family. Liu Jing killed Huang Zu's nephew only an accident. She didn't understand the situation, and her husband explained it to Liu Jing, so she stopped talking about it.

She sighed, "General, in fact, Cong'er and Shaoyu are in love, why can't they satisfy the children? Shaoyu doesn't like Jing'er, and Jing'er doesn't want to marry Shaoyu, I think..."

Before she could finish her words, Liu Biao lowered his face unhappily, "I have already said this matter, and I will talk about it when Jing'er comes back. Now I don't want to hear any explanation."

Liu Biao heard his eldest son accidentally mention that the Xuanlin sword was actually in the hands of the second son Cong. This incident made him furious. Although Liu Cong repeatedly explained that Liu Jing gave it to him voluntarily, Liu Biao did not believe it. He believed that his son used despicable means to deceive Liu Jing, perhaps because of a coercion.

Even if Liu Jing doesn't want this sword, he will return it to him. How could he hand it over to his son without authorization? There must be problems here.

In fact, letting the nephew marry the daughter of the Cai family was the result of Liu Biao's repeated considerations. He would definitely marry the Cai family, but if he asked his son to marry, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other aristocratic families, and at the same time it would make the Cai family too powerful, which would be detrimental to his checks and balances against the Cai family.

It is the best to ask your nephew to marry the daughter of the Cai family. It neither despise the Cai family nor will it cause dissatisfaction from other aristocratic families. Moreover, Liu Jing is a nephew, which is even more advanced than Liu Qing and Liu Hu, and does not humiliate the Cai family.

Liu Biao has decided on this matter. He doesn't want to listen to his wife's persuasion anymore. He is not interested in any love for children or the beauty of adulthood.

Mrs. Cai hit a soft nail, and she was secretly annoyed, but she could do nothing about it. She finally convinced the Cai family and Liu Cong to marry each other, but it was stuck with her husband again.

But how could she give up

"General, is Cong'er really impossible? He and Shaoyu..."

"Don't say it again"

Liu Biao waved his arms in a long tone, and said in an unrefutable tone: "I have decided that Cong'er will marry the daughter of Pang's family, and Qi'er will marry the Kuai's family. As for Shaoyu, it can only be Jing'er to marry her."

"It seems that the general is very prejudiced to our Cai family." Mrs. Cai straightened her chest and was a little angry with her husband's arrogant attitude.

“Quality on the contrary”

Liu Biao turned around and stared at his wife's eyes with bright eyes and said, "I have no prejudice against the Cai family, but I prefer the Cai family more. Otherwise, we wouldn't stand here and talk, right?"

Perhaps because he felt that his attitude towards his wife was a little tough, Liu Biao relaxed his tone again, "Madam, Jing'er is my closest relative and my only nephew. I think he deserves Shaoyu."

"Let your nephew go hell"

Mrs. Cai could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She left a vicious sentence, then turned around and left angrily.

Liu Biao looked at his wife's angry back and couldn't help but shake his head. The Cai family had to take the lead in everything, but this time he could not meet their wishes.

Yangxin County is a central county located in the central and western part of Jiangxia County. The county has a population of more than 20,000 people. It is also the place where the two generals of Jingzhou, Zhang Wu and Chen Sun, garrison.

Since Zhang Wu and Chen Sun rebelled, Yangxin County has been out of control of Jingzhou.

"My horse"

An officer in his forties ran out of the county government office like a wind, wearing a helmet and his armor was not in order. He didn't care about it, and just looked around anxiously, as if he was looking for his beloved woman.

"General, the horse is here"

A personal soldier led an extremely majestic war horse and trotted forward. The war horse was very young. Its snow-white fur shone like silk, and its mane was fine and elegant. From the side, it was well-proportioned, its limbs were strong and slender, its hooves were like steel cast, and it ran strongly. It had a pair of sea eagles' eyes, which could not only look far away, but also in the thick fog, in the spiral of snow, and even in the darkness.

Even the most ignorant farmer could see that this was a rare horse of thousands of miles.

"My BMW, my lifeline"

The middle-aged officer ran forward, hugged the war horse's neck tightly, and pressed his face against the horse's neck. He was afraid that if he was not careful, the BMW would leave him.

The middle-aged man was Zhang Wu, the leader of the rebellion. He obtained this BMW from a horse dealer last year. It is rumored that it came from the Western Regions and was Zhang Wu's lifeblood.

Liu Biao also took a fancy to the horse and asked him to lead the horse to Xiangyang several times. Zhang Wu refused to refuse. The reputation of the BMW even reached Eastern Wu. Sun Quan specially sent someone to express his greetings to the horse, but Zhang Wu refused to use the horse to express his sincerity to Sun Quan.

It is precisely for this reason that Sun Quan was extremely dissatisfied with him.

At this time, Zhang Wu was anxiously waiting for news from the Eastern Wu army. He had been in Yangxin County for too long and felt that danger was coming.

But his contact with Dongwu has been interrupted, and Su Zhen has not received any news for several days.

He didn't know what to do, whether to stay in Jiangxia County, or to switch to Pengze and join the Jiangdong Army, Zhang Wu was extremely nervous.

At this moment, a soldier rushed over, knelt down on one knee, and reported urgently: "General Zhang, the scout, heard from him, and found the main force in Jingzhou, with about 20,000 people, and was coming towards us in a mighty manner."

This news made Zhang Wu stunned.
