Besides, Lu Yi pulled Liu Cong out of the courtyard.
Liu Cong looked at Lu Yi nervously and said, "Is it okay?"
Lu Yi said: "Second Young Master, don't worry! In the next few days, Mrs. Cai or Cai Mao will send someone to find you!"
After taking a look at the sky, Lu Yi said: "Second Young Master, I will go back first. If anything happens, you can send someone to find me at my residence."
Liu Cong said hurriedly: "This won't work!"
"What if Cai and Cai Mao come to my door and you are not here, how should I respond?"
"Besides, if this plan doesn't work and you escape, what can I do?"
Lu Yi: "."
He glanced down at the young man who was a head shorter than himself.
This is such a pure piece of trash!
If he gave birth to this useless son in the future, he would just throw him into the river and drown.
He had already paved the way for him.
I don’t even dare to wait for the results at home!
Looking at Nangong Yan, Lu Yi said, "If something happens to you, go back by yourself first. I'll be here."
Nangong Yan shook his head.
Lu Yi then looked at Liu Cong and said, "Okay, Second Young Master, then I will stay in the Second Young Master's residence these days. If anything happens, I can deal with it as soon as possible."
Liu Cong nodded with satisfaction.
Lu Yi and Nangong Yan followed Liu Cong back to the small courtyard.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Cai left the General's Mansion in a hurry in a sedan chair and rushed to Cai's Mansion.
Cai Mao now serves as the military advisor of General Zhennan and leads the prefect of Nanjun.
However, he spends most of his time in Xiangyang City.
When Mrs. Cai went to find him, he had just returned home from a morning meeting and had breakfast.
Recently, he has also been a little worried.
In recent years, Liu Ming has become obviously dissatisfied with the four major families of Cai, Kuai, Zhang, and Huang.
After helping Liu Biao to eradicate most of the families in Jingzhou, the four major families rose rapidly.
After all, these four major families have reached the limit of Liu Biao's patience.
It turned out that in order to win over the four major families, Liu Biao freed up almost all important positions in Jingzhou and gave them to them.
In recent years, Liu Biao has been cultivating his own power on a large scale.
First, he established a college to attract talents from all over the world for his use.
Then a large number of generals were promoted, allowing them to replace the four major families and hold important positions.
For example, he made his confidant Wenpin a general to guard Jingbei.
On the surface, it was to prevent the invasion of northern princes.
But in fact, it eliminated the possibility of the four major families uniting with Yuan Shao or Cao Cao.
Once there is civil strife, the road to the north will be blocked and the four major families will be killed in Jingzhou.
For another example, a group of generals such as Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, Huo Jun, and Wei Yan were promoted and allowed to enter the army of the four major families and assume important positions.
At this morning's meeting, Liu Biao once again proposed that Huang Zu, who had been guarding Jiangxia, be transferred back and let Liu Pan take over.
There are two reasons.
Huang Zu is old and no longer suitable to guard the front line.
The other is that Jiangdong now has a new owner, and the new owner has eradicated the Sun family. Jiangdong and Jingzhou no longer need to continue their feud. Liu Biao wanted to send people to Jiangdong to negotiate peace, so that they would not interfere with each other from now on.
In order not to offend Jiangdong and make the peace negotiation smoother, Huang Zu, who killed Sun Jian, was removed.
Who is Liu Pan?
That's Liu Biao's nephew!
He is the most loyal to Liu Biao.
If Liu Pan really takes control of Jiangxia, then Jiangling will be next!
Once Jiang Ling is replaced by one of his men, all the four major families' ways of contacting the outside world will be blocked!
Next, it will definitely be the end of the four major families.
Cai Mao couldn't even imagine such a situation.
Everyone thinks Liu Biao is a talkative and mediocre man.
Only he and the heads of the four major families knew what kind of ruthless person Liu Biao was.
At first, Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou alone and set up a scheme with the heads of the four major families: using the connections of the heads of the four major families, he invited all the heads and family members of the wealthy families in Jingzhou to a banquet at the General's Mansion.
At the banquet, Liu Biao poisoned more than 800 people in one breath!
All the heads of the major wealthy families and their families were poisoned to death!
As one of the heads of the four major families, Cai Hao also participated at that time.
Seeing Liu Biao holding a sword and beheading the heads of wealthy families one by one, he now occasionally dreams about this scene and feels scared.
He often felt that Liu Biao was holding a sword, poisoning him, and then cutting off his head with the sword, his face full of pride.
Although at this morning's meeting, Liu Biao's proposal was simultaneously rejected by the heads of the four major families, so the matter was temporarily shelved.
However, Cai Mao knew.
I will definitely bring this up again.
Moreover, Liu Biao will definitely make bigger moves the next time he mentions it.
He may even have placed people everywhere quietly.
Cai Mao sighed while eating.
He regretted it a little, to be honest.
At the beginning, the Cai family did not have such a large scale, but it still stood firm among many wealthy families.
The blame is that he is too greedy and wants to use Liu Biao to eradicate other wealthy families, thereby quickly increasing the strength of the Cai family, and even reaching a situation where one family is the only one.
Now, the goal has been achieved, all other wealthy families have been eradicated, and the Cai family has grown, becoming one of the four major wealthy families in Jingzhou.
But retribution has also come.
Cai Mao thought of a saying: Those who kill people will always be killed.
If I had known earlier, it would have been better not to lure Liu Biao into Jingzhou.
If the other wealthy families are here, not to mention Liu Biao, even if anyone else comes to Jingzhou, they will not dare to take action against the wealthy families.
Whoever dares to take action will immediately join forces to kill him first!
But now——
At this moment, a female voice sounded outside: "Brother, are you still in the mood to have breakfast?"
But it was Mrs. Cai who walked in at a leisurely pace.
While Cai Mao continued to eat, he said angrily: "Even if the sky falls, you can't go hungry. Besides, why are you here so early in the morning when you are not staying at the general's residence?"
Mrs. Cai knelt down beside Cai Mao and sneered: "Did you stumble today? That old man is going to cause trouble again."
Cai Hao frowned and asked, "How is the situation in the General's Mansion?"
Mrs. Cai said: "What else can be done? All the defenses have been changed, replaced by his own people."
"Didn't you notice?"
"The leader now is Huo Jun."
"Huo Jun and his brother Huo Du are the old man's two dogs."
"Then they will bite whoever the old man tells them to bite."
"Why, brother, you didn't even pay attention to this? Do you want me to remind you?"
Cai Hao's eyes widened and he said, "How can I be so free as you? I only go to the general's mansion once every half a month! Most of the time, am I not discussing with other people how to deal with the current situation?"
"Now there are people he planted everywhere."
"This bitch is really insidious."
"Over the years, I have been quietly cultivating my own people."
"He actually managed to hide it from all of us."
"If we had discovered it earlier, we would have killed him long ago."
"It's too late now."
Mrs. Cai curled her lips and said: "Who is to blame? Blame you for the internal chaos! Who is Kuai Liang? Although he is the head of the Kuai family, his heart has always been towards that dead old man. For such a big traitor, you have all these years I didn’t notice it. It wasn’t until recently that people showed their flaws, and you didn’t realize it.”
Speaking of Kuai Liang, Cai Hao gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know if this old man Kuai Liang is pretending to be shit. Instead of supporting our four major families, he is helping that bitch Liu Biao!"
Mrs. Cai said: "How are you discussing now? How will Kuai Liang handle it?"
Cai Mao breathed out and said: "He will die soon. His brother Kuai Yue has had someone poison him, just in the past few days. Once Kuai Liang dies and Kuai Yue takes over the Kuai family, our situation will be It will be better.”
"Without a traitor, the four major families can only slowly erode away when they unite."
After a pause, Cai Mao looked at Mrs. Cai again and said, "By the way, why are you here?"
Mrs. Cai glanced around and saw no one, so she whispered: "That loser Liu Cong came to see my little sister yesterday."
Cai Mao looked at Mrs. Cai doubtfully.
Mrs. Cai said: "This loser seems to have found someone to help him give him advice recently, and he caught the little girl's weakness at a glance."
"Yesterday, he found his little sister and said that he wanted to marry a good daughter from our Cai family and that he would be filial to her. And, and -"
Mrs. Cai hesitated a little.
Cai Hao said impatiently: "Tell me, why are you stammering?"
Mrs. Cai blushed, bit her lip and said, "He also wrote a note to my little sister, saying that as long as he takes over the position of Jingzhou Mu, he will pamper her even more and make her the master of the backyard. "
Cai Hao: "."
Mrs. Cai was a little embarrassed and said, "Brother, tell me, how should we deal with this?"
Cai Hao came to his senses, spat, and cursed: "That bastard was reincarnated like that bitch Liu Biao, so much so that he didn't even have a brain! With his brain full of shit, he has the ability to take over Jingzhou Muzhi Position? Even if we really take over, you are Liu Biao’s bitch woman. If he dares to let you be the master of the backyard, we people in Jingzhou will lose our face? This is something that goes against human ethics!"
Mrs. Cai's face turned pale and she said, "Then, the little girl will tell this matter to that damn old man Liu Biao——"
Cai Hao closed his eyes and said nothing.
Mrs. Cai did not dare to speak.
After a while, Cai Hao opened his eyes and said, "Although this bastard has no ability, he can still find a way."
