It was late at night and outside the sea of fire. It was really not a suitable place to talk.
They followed Zhuge Liang back, changed into clean clothes, wiped away the traces of smoke on their faces, and tidied their hair. They were no longer so embarrassed. They sat in the hall of Zhuge Liang's house. Liu Bei's face was gloomy. And it's so gloomy that it's scary.
In fact, Liu Bei had a rough idea of who set the fire, but he didn't dare to admit it.
Throughout Xiangyang, if anyone dares to set fire to Liu Bei, those who are not afraid of death will live in the Zhou Mu Mansion. After all, Liu Qi is about to die, and now he is no longer afraid of death. In addition, Liu Bei came out of the Zhou Mu Mansion that night. burned.
"He wants to recruit a few people to back him up!"
It was Chen Gong who was the first to break the silence tonight, break their gloomy murderous intent, and reveal who this person was.
Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "There are so many rumors outside. I must have guessed something. Plus, I am about to die, so I want to risk everything. When I met with my lord today, I must have tested my lord, right?"
Liu Bei nodded, he was indeed tested.
Both father and son tested Liu Bei to see what Liu Bei's reaction would be.
"I'm going to kill him right now!"
No matter how brainless Zhang Fei was, after hearing this, he actually understood who wanted to burn Liu Bei to death. He immediately became furious and wanted to kill people with rage.
"Third brother, sit down!"
Liu Bei drank and said, "I never thought he would be so cruel."
But soon, he understood why he was so cruel, because he was also such a cruel person and made Liu Qi's life worse than death. It was very reasonable for Liu Qi to take revenge now.
However, Liu Qi's actions once again made Liu Bei feel that there would be no psychological pressure in the future.
It’s just Liu Qi who is looking for death!
"Lord, what are you going to do?"
Zhuge Liang asked.
Liu Bei thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Let's just forget about it like this, don't care about it, don't do anything, just treat it as a simple slip-up, how about it?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "This method is the best."
It was also a way to minimize Liu Bei's guilt and put aside his psychological pressure.
Zhang Fei was unwilling and shouted: "Brother, are we going to suffer in vain?"
Guan Yu understood what he was thinking about if he didn't do anything, and said: "We won't suffer a loss. How long can he live? Forget it!"
Anyway, Liu Qi is dead. Taking Jingzhou and letting Liu Qi die in peace is the best revenge.
Zhang Fei thought for a while and said nothing more.
"Okay, let's go down and rest!"
Liu Bei said again: "Kong Ming, could you please spare a few rooms in your home? Is that okay?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Of course, no problem, please come in, my lord."
the next morning.
Liu Bei looked at the ruins in front of him with mixed emotions. However, according to his thoughts last night, he really didn't care too much and just let Liu Qi go. He wouldn't live long anyway.
"Uncle Liu Huang."
Lu Su came, saw the ruins, and asked in surprise: "What... happened? I heard there was a fire last night?"
Liu Bei forced a smile and said: "There was an accident last night, but it was not a big deal and it will not affect our cooperation."
"That's good!"
Lu Su looked at the ruins again and smelled an unusual smell in the air.
It seemed to be the smell of burning kerosene. He raised his eyebrows and thought that the fire last night was not an accident. Someone should have set the fire. The water in Jingzhou seemed to be very deep!
As long as it doesn't affect cooperation, it won't be a problem for Lu Su.
"correct!"
Lu Su had one more thing that he hadn't discussed with Liu Bei yesterday, and said, "Uncle Liu Huang should know that our lord has a grudge against Jingzhou?"
"Have a grudge?"
Liu Bei was immersed in sadness and could not react for a while.
"Is it because Sun Wentai died in battle?"
Zhuge Liang understood what he meant.
Lu Su nodded and said: "This is exactly what happened. Huang Zu killed our old master. This is an irreconcilable hatred. What does Uncle Liu Huang think?"
Liu Bei was silent.
Huang Zu is now Liu Qi's man, and he will fall into his hands sooner or later. He has no feelings for Huang Zu. Huang Zu is not important, but it is not appropriate to send Huang Zu away. This is not conducive to his accumulation of benevolence and righteousness. , but if he didn't send it, Lu Su came with a mission and explicitly said that he wanted Huang Zu's life, otherwise they might not join forces.
The alliance between Sun and Liu is the general trend.
"Actually, it's not difficult!"
Zhuge Liang could see Liu Bei's concerns and Sun's determination, and continued: "Huang Zu is not an important person, but if we send Huang Zu to Jiangdong like this, it will not be good for the lord's reputation in Jingzhou. We can create An accident.”
Lu Su knew that Liu Bei and the others were ruthless people and would not care about Huang Zu. After hearing this, he immediately asked: "What kind of accident?"
Zhuge Liang looked around and said: "It's not convenient to say too much outside, but it can be done by letting Huang Zu die on the battlefield and allowing you to take revenge. By the way, you come to Xiangyang, people who know too much?"
Lu Su's eyes lit up. Revenge on the battlefield seemed to be very good. He felt that the people around Liu Bei were all capable people, and said: "I came to Xiangyang and did not publicize it. Only our internal people know about it."
"Then Zijing is in Xiangyang, and not many people know about it."
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said: "Since we don't publicize it, the plan is almost feasible. Let's go back and discuss it."
"good!"
Lu Su was overjoyed.
I didn't expect that the mission of this trip would go so smoothly, and that Liu Bei and the others would be so cooperative.
Very good!
——
Just when Lu Su and Zhuge Liang were preparing to plot against Huang Zu, Chen Zhou received a task.
Cao Cao also knew that Chen Zhou did not want to be in charge, but he also wanted to give Chen Zhou credit for his achievements so that he could be rewarded more in the future, so he gave Chen Zhou the tasks of building ships and training the navy. After discussion, Chen Zhou agreed.
The people who really do the work are Cai Mao and others.
Chen Zhou went to the scene, and it was probably just a matter of soy sauce. He didn't have to do anything, and he still had to enjoy what he should enjoy.
Moreover, the place where shipbuilding and sailors are trained is in the Lujiang River, which is close to the Yangtze River and is not planned to be carried out on the Wei River. Lujiang is still the natal home of Xiao Qiao, so Chen Zhou will go back to Qiao's house for a while.
It sounds like it looks pretty good.
Chen Zhou agreed and took over the task.
By the way, he also took Er Qiao back to Lujiang with him. They were naturally delighted.
After going home and discussing for a while, Chen Zhou took Xiao Qiao and set off back to Lujiang. As a personal bodyguard, Dian Wei had to follow him. He also brought five hundred tiger soldiers to follow Chen Zhou to ensure safety, just in case.
"Husband, how long do we have until we reach Wancheng?"
Qiao Shuang couldn't wait.
She had been away from Qiao's house for a long time, and she couldn't wait to go back and meet Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Ying said softly: "Shuang'er, don't be in such a hurry. My husband is coming back with a mission and may have to go to the military camp first."
Chen Zhou shook his head and said: "No, let's go to Qiao's house first. If you are evil, ask someone to speed up. We will get to Wancheng as soon as possible."
"good!"
Dian Wei outside responded loudly.
