Seeing this situation, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others were very nervous, fearing that Liu Qi would be impulsive and kill Cai Yu.
But the more tense this moment was, the more calm Yang Ling became.
"Before the eldest son takes action, you might as well listen to me."
Perhaps infected by Yang Ling's calm mood, Liu Qi hesitated for a moment and moved his sword slightly.
"If you have something to say, please tell me."
"If the eldest son kills your father-in-law today, not only will he be criticized as an unfilial and rebellious son, but he himself may not be able to escape."
"Instead of that, let's make a deal."
Yang Ling said with a smile.
"What deal?"
Liu Qi said subconsciously.
"You let me go, and I will let you go."
Liu Qi was suddenly moved.
As Yang Ling said, if he killed Cai Yu, he would probably die here, and he would be accused of being unfilial.
"How can I trust you?"
Yang Ling couldn't help but laugh,
"Who am I, Yang Ling, to deceive you?"
When Liu Qi thought about it, it was right.
Yang Ling is a famous person all over the world, and there are so many soldiers of Cao's army present today.
If he goes back on his word, his reputation will be ruined in the future!
Thinking of this, Liu Qi nodded and said,
"Okay, I promise you!"
As he said this, he took back his sword and released Cai Yu. Cai Yu hurriedly ran towards Yang Ling.
"Yu'er, are you okay?"
Yang Ling asked in a low voice.
"I...I'm fine."
Cai Yu shook her head. If she hadn't been worried about the presence of so many people, she would have wanted to throw herself directly into Yang Ling's arms!
"Okay, now that I have been released, can you let me go?"
Liu Qi interrupted the conversation between Yang Ling and Cai Yu at an inappropriate time.
"Xingba!"
Yang Ling looked at Gan Ning beside him.
"The general is here!"
"Send the eldest son out of the city!"
"Here!"
Gan Ning took the order and walked outside first.
Liu Qi followed closely behind him.
Sure enough, as Yang Ling said, wherever he went, Cao Jun had no intention of stopping him.
Seeing Liu Qi's retreating figure, Wei Yan couldn't help but come forward and whispered,
"General, would you like me to send someone to chase him and make him..."
He made a beheading gesture!
"No need!"
Yang Ling shook his head.
At the moment, Sima Yi has not pointed at Luo Shui and farted. Everyone in the world values reputation and credibility, and he does not want to be a person who breaks his word.
Besides, whether Liu Qi is killed or not has no impact on the overall situation.
After releasing Liu Qi, Cao Jun rushed into the Prefecture Mufu and released Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, the Kuai brothers, Han Song and others who were under house arrest.
"I've seen the general!"
Everyone saluted Yang Ling.
"Fortunately, we arrived in time and surprised everyone."
Yang Ling smiled and reassured.
Although he, like Cao Cao, did not want to see the powerful noble clans, in order to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou, local wealthy noble clans such as the Cai family and the Kuai family still had to win over them.
While everyone was chatting, Wei Yan led people in.
"For the information, General, all the people from the Pang, Huang and other families in the city have been brought."
Yang Ling looked up and saw a group of Jingzhou nobles following Wei Yan.
"You don't need to panic. I, the general, have come to attack the traitors Liu Bei, Liu Qi and others under the orders of the Emperor and the King of Wei."
"As long as it has nothing to do with them, I will not embarrass anyone."
"But if you dare to support them secretly, don't blame me for being rude."
Yang Ling said in a deep voice.
Hearing the threat in his words, everyone nodded.
"General, please rest assured, we have nothing to do with Liu Bei!"
"Yes, if the general needs help with anything, just ask!"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Ling's mouth.
As expected, these local nobles are just like grass on the wall.
They don't care who is the ruler, as long as their interests are guaranteed!
He thought for a while and asked,
"Where is the head of the Huang family?"
Huang Chengyan was stunned when he heard Yang Ling calling his name, then walked out and said honestly,
"Just ordinary people, I don't know what the general's orders are?"
But he saw Yang Ling walking forward with a bright smile and saluting Huang Chengyan.
"My son-in-law has met his father-in-law."
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene.
Even Huang Chengyan himself was confused.
Yang Ling smiled and said,
"What my father-in-law doesn't know is that Yueying has already married his son-in-law, and now she has given birth to a son."
"ah?"
Huang Chengyan was immediately dumbfounded.
When Huang Yueying left, she only said that she was going to Xudu with Cao Gong's envoy. Huang Chengyan did not know the specific situation.
Later, Huang Zhong failed to bring Huang Yueying back, and Huang Chengyan and his wife were very angry.
So much so that he burned all the letters Huang Yueying sent back without even reading them!
Huang Chengyan never expected that Huang Yueying would marry the famous Yang Ling!
"Master Huang really gave birth to a good daughter!"
"Hey, I really envy you!"
The Jingzhou nobles on the side looked a little sour.
With the capture of Xiangyang City, it was certain that Cao Cao would regain Jingzhou.
And the Huang family has established a relationship with Yang Ling, and their rapid rise is just around the corner!
Huang Chengyan felt complicated and didn't know what to say for a while.
Huang Yueying ran away from home and went to Xudu alone, which can be said to be an insult to the Huang family's family tradition.
Such a deviant act was naturally despised by the Jingzhou nobles, and Huang Chengyan was often ridiculed by them.
However, now and then, it was their turn to curry favor with Yang Ling.
It can be said to be a saponification trick!
"After the war has settled down, you and your mother-in-law can go to Xudu to visit Yueying."
Yang Ling smiled.
"Okay, okay, okay..."
Huang Chengyan didn't know what to say, he just bowed his hands and stepped back.
After Yang Ling reassured everyone, he ordered them to disperse.
When the outsiders left, Zhao Yun winked at Wei Yan, Ma Chao and others, and left knowingly.
Yang Ling chuckled and walked quickly towards the mansion with Zhou Cang.
At this moment, Cai Yu was taking Liu Cong in front of Liu Biao's mourning hall, waiting for Yang Ling's arrival.
After Yang Ling came in, he pretended to offer Liu Biao a stick of incense, then walked up to Cai Yu and said with a smile,
"Long time no see. Madam is still as charming as ever."
"General, you're welcome. I'm already very old and yellow."
Cai Yu felt sweet in her heart and said to Liu Cong standing aside,
"Cong'er, please see the general soon!"
Liu Cong was fourteen years old and grew up under Cai Yu's care. He was somewhat timid and afraid of getting into trouble.
After hearing Cai Yu's words, he quickly saluted Yang Ling.
"I've seen the general!"
"I have an important conversation with your mother, please go down for now."
Yang Ling waved his hand and signaled Zhou Cang to take Liu Cong down.
After everyone else left, only Yang Ling and Cai Yu were left in the hall.
Cai Yu could no longer suppress the longing in her heart and threw herself directly into Yang Ling's arms.
"Yu'er, did I scare you just now?"
Yang Ling stroked Cai Yu's back and whispered.
