Chapter 348 Jingzhou Changes Owners (Part 2)
"Grand Prince, the last responsibility is my general. I hope you don't make things difficult for the eldest prince!" Wang Wei hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to stick to his position.
Liu Qi frowned, and Liu Pan said sternly: "Today, I have to see my father, I see who dares to stop him!"
After saying that, he protected Liu Qi and rushed into the mansion.
Seeing this, Wang Wei immediately drew his sword and said loudly: "In this way, I will offend you!"
"Yide!" Liu Bei said in a deep voice.
Zhang Fei immediately drew his sword and held Wang Wei's sword. Everyone strode forward, and the guards around wanted to stop him.
"Who dares to move!" Liu Panhu opened his eyes and shouted sternly.
He has always been prestige in the army and is Liu Pan's nephew. At this moment, the soldiers around him saw that Wang Wei was suppressed by Zhang Fei, and Liu Qi and Liu Pan were the leaders of him. No one dared to stop him for a while.
"What, you can't rebel!?" When the guards were at a loss and pushed away by Liu Pan and others, they heard a stern shout, and a woman walked out of the main hall and said aloud.
The woman is over forty years old, with a graceful look and noble spirit. At this moment, her eyes are cold and she has a bit of power. She is the Cai family.
"I want to see my father, but I hope you can agree." Liu Qi saw Cai's habits that had been developed for many years and was a little afraid and bowed.
"My husband is seriously ill, how can he see this kind of sword and weapon?" Cai said coldly.
Liu Pan frowned and said, "Even if we don't see you, the eldest son is the parent and child of the King of Chu. Why can't he meet for so long?"
When Cai heard this, his eyebrows frowned slightly, but then he calmed down and smiled, "Qi'er can see you, but if you wait to break into the palace with such a sword, is it necessary to rebel?"
"I..." Liu Qi looked at Liu Bei and Liu Pan, and hesitated for a moment. In fact, when Cai came out, he was already a little timid.
"The eldest son is here, and there will be no problem if I am here." Liu Pan said coldly: "I will wait for the young son here."
"Lord, General Liu, this is probably Mrs. Cai's plan to delay the army!" Chen Gong frowned and leaned over to Liu Bei and whispered: "Send someone to escort the young master."
Liu Bei nodded, and felt it was reasonable. After all, the Cai family could not have received any news when they had such a big battle. Now, the Cai family would have more time to react. He turned his head and looked at Liu Pan and said, "General, this..."
"I will accompany the eldest son in. Duke Xuande brings everyone here. If there is any change, Duke Xuande will take timely rescue." Liu Pan thought for a while, and felt it was reasonable, and nodded and instructed.
"Okay." Liu Bei nodded and responded without hesitation.
Seeing that Liu Pan was accompanied by him, Liu Qi became much more courageous. He nodded and agreed. Seeing that Liu Pan followed, Cai frowned and said, "What is General Liu's intention?"
"My uncle treats me like a parent-child. Now that my uncle is seriously ill, Pan naturally wants to meet him." Liu Pan said calmly.
Cai frowned, but seeing that Liu Bei and his group had already begun to occupy the front yard, he nodded and said, "Okay!"
Turning around and taking the two into the back garden, he walked the road many times, and he was naturally familiar with it, but what made Liu Pan frown was that there were actually many guards here. Instead, the maids and servants who should have in the mansion disappeared, his heart sank, his eyes fell on Cai's body, and his hands were unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the sword. He was a general in the army, and he could sense the faint aura of military spirit from these guards. This was not an ordinary guard.
Under the leadership of Cai, the two of them came to Liu Biao's attic where he was recuperating. Cai turned his head and looked at them and said, "Let's wait a moment, I'll go and see if my husband is awake."
Liu Pan turned his head and looked around, always staying alert. As for Liu Qi, there were no such concerns as Liu Pan. Cai's willingness to let him come in to see his father had already made Liu Qi feel a little flattered, and he nodded in agreement.
Cai turned around and pushed the door in, then closed the door and put the door bolt on it. Liu Pan heard the sound and felt something was wrong. He just went to communicate why he had to put the door bolt on it. This was obviously not going to let them in. At the same time, Liu Pan found that the guards around him were approaching this side, and he didn't know that he had been trapped and didn't care about any etiquette. He grabbed Liu Qi, who was still in a beautiful fantasy, and raised his foot and kicked the door open.
"Swish swish swish swish swish~"
They were greeted by three people dressed in crossbow servants. Seeing the door opened, three crossbow arrows shot at the two of them.
"Poisonous woman!" Liu Pan pulled Liu Qi behind him and avoided the two clusters of arrows, but was eventually shot by the third cluster of arrows. He screamed in pain and drew his sword and cursed, but there was no figure of Cai.
After shooting an arrow from the three servants, they threw away the crossbow and drew their swords to rush towards the two. Although Liu Pan was shot by an arrow, his courage remained unabated. He separated one of his swords and wiped the other's throat with his backhand. Blood squirted all over and rushed towards the attic with Liu Qi. The other two were chasing each other, but Liu Pan killed another on the stairs. The remaining one did not dare to go forward alone, and watched the two escape to the second floor.
A rotten smell filled the second floor. Liu Pan glanced at him and saw someone lying on the bed, taking Liu Qi forward. The one lying on the couch was Liu Biao, but he was obviously already in a state of anger for a long time and his skin had begun to ulcerate.
"Father!" Seeing Liu Biao's body, Liu Qi cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
"Young Master, this is not the time to be sad. Please inform Duke Xuande to save us quickly!" Liu Pan cut off the arrow feathers on his shoulder with an arrow and shouted sternly.
At the same time, the guards downstairs had already rushed up along the stairs. Liu Pan hurriedly rushed up and guarded the stairs. He waved his sword and killed the guards who rushed up one by one.
Liu Qi nodded in a hurry and hurried to the window to shout.
"Puff puff~" Two crossbow arrows shot through Liu Qi's chest the moment Liu Qi's head appeared. Liu Qi's body stiffened, and then seven or eight arrows shot over.
"Young Master!" Liu Pan was shocked when he saw this and rushed up and pulled Liu Qi away. More arrows were shot in. Liu Pan waved his sword to block it and pulled Liu Qi into the corner. However, Liu Qi was hit by several arrows. He saw that he had already exhaled more and had less energy. Liu Pan's eyes were so angry that he was furious. When the rain of arrows stopped, a group of guards rushed to the attic and rushed towards him. Liu Pan roared angrily, waved his sword and killed him, and instantly killed three people, while roaring constantly to let the sound come out to attract Liu Bei.
In the front yard, Liu Bei, who was waiting anxiously, suddenly heard the fighting and roar in the distance, and his face changed: "No, I'm trapped! All the soldiers, let me kill!"
Wang Wei wanted to stop him, but was kicked to the ground by Zhang Fei. Liu Bei took the lead, holding a sword in both hands. He rarely acted on the ground. Once he started, his ability for the rest of his life would be displayed. The two swords danced, and the sword pointed directly to the vital point. Wherever he passed, the guards coming were killed by him like mowing grass.
When Zhang Fei used a sword, he was not as fierce as Liu Bei.
The group quickly entered the back garden and saw a group of guards besieging the attic. Liu Bei led people to kill without saying a word. The guards could not stop him and were killed by Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.
Liu Bei shouted to the attic: "Where is the young master? Where is the young master??"
In the attic, Liu Pan heard the battle downstairs and knew that it was Liu Bei who was coming. He quickly jumped down from the window. When Liu Bei shouted, Liu Pan shouted loudly: "Duke Xuande, the young master was ambushed by the poisonous woman. The King of Chu has been dead for many days!"
Liu Bei trembled when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said, "As the escort of the royal palace, how dare you plot to murder the King of Chu and the Prince!? Kill me!"
Wang Wei, who just followed in, was also stunned. Liu Biao is dead? And he has been dead for many days?
These guards in the palace were secretly transferred in by Cai He during these days. Although they were also from the army, they were not opponents of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Liu Pan. They were quickly cleared out. Zhang Fei grabbed Wang Wei, who was devastated, and went to the attic, threw Wang Wei directly in front of Liu Biao's couch, and cursed angrily: "If you hadn't obstructed many times, how could the King of Chu be so uneasy? Now the eldest son is dead, are you satisfied!?"
Wang Wei stared at Liu Biao's body, which had been festering on the bed. It was obviously because of his death for many days. For a moment, his eyes were lost. Suddenly, he drew out his sword and wanted to commit suicide, but Liu Bei held it down.
"Wang Wei's crimes cannot be forgiven, and he can only die to repay the King of Chu!" Wang Wei said gritting his teeth.
"The general is a loyal and brave man, and there is no fault. It's just that the poisonous woman takes advantage of the general's loyalty and courage to do what she is doing today. The crime is not on the general. You should keep a useful body. It is the right thing to do to be loyal to the country!" Liu Bei advised.
"Brother, I haven't seen that poisonous woman. It seems that she has run away!" Zhang Fei covered in blood and brought several soldiers to Liu Bei.
"Not good!" Chen Gong's expression changed when he heard this, and he looked at Liu Bei and said, "The situation is exposed. The poisonous woman will definitely instigate Cai He and Zhang Yun to cause trouble. She should quell the chaos as soon as possible."
"But now that the King of Chu and the eldest son have all died, who is here to issue orders?" a man frowned.
"Then you have to ask? Whether it is prestige or ability, you should respect your elder brother!" Zhang Fei said without hesitation.
This made many people frown. Liu Bei was famous for his reputation, but saying this made people instinctively feel unhappy.
"Yide, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei frowned, glared at Zhang Fei and scolded sternly, then turned around and looked at Liu Pan and said, "General Liu Pan has been fighting for the King of Chu for many years and has always had prestige in the army. At this time, General Liu Pan should issue an order!"
As soon as this statement was made everyone feel a lot more comfortable, Liu Pan shook his head and said, "I can charge in the battle, but the command and dispatch are not my main points. Now Jingzhou is undergoing a major change, and Xuande Gong is just needed to preside over the chaos."
"No!" Liu Bei shook his head and said, resolutely not accepting it.
"Everyone is good. You two push and give in. After the discussion is completed, I'm afraid Cai He and Zhang Yun have all hit him!" Zhang Fei said impatiently when he saw the two push and give in.
"Please give orders to Duke Xuande!" Liu Pan bowed to Liu Bei first and said, "Pan is willing to listen to the order!"
"Lord, at this time, we should quell the chaos first!" Chen Gong also advised.
Seeing the reluctance, Liu Bei nodded and said, "Well, after we eliminate the rebellion, kill the poisonous woman, and eliminate the remnants of the Cai family, we will ask Mr. Cong to succeed the King of Chu. Before that, Bei will temporarily issue an order on behalf of his brother!"
Everyone said yes.
