Xiangyang, Jingzhou.
When Chen Gong arrived at Xudu, Lu Yi was bored and started practicing martial arts with Nangong Yan and Shi Huan as soon as he got up.
After the three of them finished practicing, they were ready to have breakfast.
But I saw a carriage speeding towards this side.
Nangong Yan said: "It's the carriage from the General's Mansion."
Lu Yi nodded and said to Nangong Yan and Shi Huan, "You go in first."
The carriage stopped in front of Lu Yi.
The coachman got down from the carriage shaft and prostrated on the ground.
In the carriage compartment, Liu Cong opened the curtain and stepped down on the coachman's back.
Lu Yi was about to greet him.
Suddenly I saw Liu Cong's hands shaking slightly.
Lu Yi was shocked, something happened?
Lu Yi took off his coat and put it directly on Liu Cong so that outsiders could not see the shaking of his hands. Then he called Liu Cong into the house and went directly to Nangong Yan's room, leaving Nangong Yan to guard the door.
Liu Cong's hands were not only shaking at this time, but his body was also shaking.
His mouth trembled slightly and his face turned pale.
Looking at Lu Yi, Liu Cong stammered: "I, I just went to find my father. My father left me to eat breakfast. I, I poured most of the poison into my father's rice porridge. Father, my father ate it directly."
Lu Yi: "."
Although I knew this was the only way to go.
Moreover, he was prompted by himself.
However, he was still a little embarrassed.
Tiger poison does not eat its seeds.
But it is not uncommon for children to harm their parents.
Liu Cong was usually a dull person.
But for the sake of power, for the sake of women, they can also kill their brothers and their fathers.
Although he thought so, Lu Yi still comforted him: "No one is poisonous and no husband. Who is the person standing at the pinnacle of power who doesn't have his hands stained with blood? The second young master is destined to be the overlord of the future. This kind of thing will happen sooner or later, so there is no need to blame yourself too much." "
Liu Cong looked at Lu Yi and almost cried: "I was drugged, but I, I, forgot something big."
Lu Yi frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Liu Cong said: "That is, even before my father eats, he will ask the medical staff to check whether there is any poison in the food! It can be said that except for me and Liu Qi, no one else can drug him."
"It's just us. The two of us may give my father medicine after the medical staff examines him."
"And Liu Qi hasn't seen his father in the past few days. Only my father and I had dinner this morning."
"Once something happens to my father, he will definitely think that it was me who poisoned him!"
"I, what should I do?"
"If I'm found out, I'll die!"
"You will definitely die!"
"I shouldn't have been so reckless!"
"How could I forget something so important?"
"Ms. Cai harmed me!"
"How to do how to do?"
"When will this poison take effect? Once it takes effect, my father will definitely think of me and come to catch me!"
Seeing Liu Cong's panic, Lu Yi let out a long sigh.
He thought it was something that frightened Liu Cong like this!
So, that’s it?
This Liu Cong really has a thief heart but no courage.
Only after everything has been done do we consider the consequences and consider so many loopholes.
No wonder Jingzhou in the original history surrendered directly to Cao Cao when it fell into his hands.
If this was his own son, he would just kill him with one sword!
Holding back his disgust, Lu Yi forced out a smile and said, "Second Young Master, how much of the poison is left?"
Liu Cong tremblingly took out the bottle from his sleeve.
Lu Yi took the bottle from his hand and opened the cap. Only a very small part was left.
Lu Yi capped the bottle, handed it back to Liu Cong and said: "Second Young Master, there is no need to be afraid. Now you go to the eldest Young Master immediately and say that you are your younger brother, and you want to learn from him when you see the best."
"The eldest son has a kind heart and will definitely agree."
"Then, you invite him back to the General's Mansion and ask Jingzhou Mu for permission. You will inevitably have some tea and cakes during the process."
"This poison was given to you by Madam Cai, rather than poisoned by herself. Therefore, the poison given by Madam Cai must not be effective immediately. Otherwise, once Jingzhou Mu takes it and has an attack on the spot, the second young master will definitely die. "
"The eldest son will definitely inherit the position of Jingzhou Mu."
"This is not in Mrs. Cai's interests."
"Mrs. Cai and the Second Young Master are in the same boat."
"So, this poison must have a certain onset period."
"After the second young master had eaten with the eldest young master and Jingzhou Mu, he went back and asked someone to tell Mrs. Cai that the things she sent had been used. The second young master returned to his residence, swallowed the remaining poison, and then pretended to be sick. fall."
Liu Cong raised his head, looked at Lu Yi, and said in horror: "You want to poison me?"
Lu Yi said hurriedly: "Second Young Master, there is no poison that can kill you immediately! And Mrs. Cai, it is even more impossible to give her poison that kills her immediately. This poison will definitely have a remission period before it attacks."
"Second Young Master pretended to be sick after eating it. Madam Cai was told that the thing she gave you had been used. She knew you were also poisoned and would immediately find a way to deliver the antidote."
"Mrs. Cai is willing to cooperate with the Second Young Master. Then Second Young Master, you must not die. Otherwise, what is the point of her troubles?"
"Believe me, when Mrs. Cai gave this poison to you, the Second Young Master, she should have considered all the consequences."
Lu Yi secretly complained, behind Mrs. Cai stood the Cai family.
As one of the four wealthy families in Jingzhou, it is absolutely impossible for the Cai family to act as stupidly as Liu Cong!
Liu Cong still refused and said anxiously: "But, if Liu Qi doesn't plead guilty and his father investigates, he may still suspect me!"
Lu Yi sighed, suppressing his depression and anger and said: "Second Young Master, tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. No matter who administered the poison, as long as Second Young Master is poisoned, he is in a position worthy of sympathy. Even if Jingzhou Mu suspects Second Young Master, The young master will also hesitate. After all, this is a fatal matter."
"Just trust me for once."
"As long as you do exactly what I say, and something happens, I'm willing to accompany the second young master to death."
"Moreover, Second Young Master, please don't hesitate any longer."
"Although this poison will not act immediately, we don't know its properties. If you delay it any longer, if Jingzhou Mu attacks, then this strategy will be useless."
"At that time, only the Second Young Master, you and Jingzhou Mu have had breakfast. There is no need to doubt that the murderer who administered the poison must be the Second Young Master, you."
"Jingzhou Mu would not be lenient at that time."
Liu Cong's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
Lu Yi hurriedly supported him and said: "Second Young Master, if you survive this time, you will be the future Lord of Jingzhou! It is very difficult for anyone to reach the top of power."
Liu Cong nodded, then stood up forcibly, then with the help of Lu Yi, returned to the carriage and left in the carriage.
Lu Yi watched Liu Cong's carriage disappear from sight and shook his head.
This Liu Cong is simply an "Adou who cannot be helped."
He wants to reach the top of power, but he is so weak.
At this moment, Nangong Yan also came out and said, "Jingzhou is going to be in chaos? Is this what we are doing?"
Lu Yi looked at Nangong Yan and said, "Let's go in and talk."
Lu Yi summoned Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Ruoxue, Nangong Yan, and Shi Huan.
Looking at everyone, Lu Yi said seriously: "Something is going to happen here in Jingzhou soon. We are involved in it, and it is very dangerous. Especially me, if I don't make preparations, I will definitely die in Liu Biao's death, and I will also be killed by Cai Hao."
Zhuge Ruoxue's face turned pale and she hurriedly said: "That husband——"
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Xue'er. I also said that this is without preparation."
Looking at Lu Shisan, Lu Yi said: "You immediately organize most of the caravan members and ask them to withdraw from Jingzhou for various reasons, take their wives with them, and return to Jiangdong to wait for orders."
"In addition, the personnel left in the team must be discerning and know how to assess the situation."
Then he looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Second brother-in-law, please contact Thirteen and the remaining convoy at any time, and then deploy manpower near the general's mansion."
"Once I escape from being chased, you must be ready to pick me up."
"At that time, we will leave Jingzhou through this convoy."
Zhuge Liang fanned his feather fan and said, "Brother-in-law, I understand."
Lu Yi said again: "Liu Qi, I still need your final push."
Zhuge Liang asked: "Are we asking him to leave Xiangyang?"
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Second brother-in-law is so smart!"
Lu Yi finally looked at Nangong Yan and Shi Huan and said, "You stay with Kong Ming during this period. When I escape from the general's mansion, you will support me."
Shi Huan said anxiously: "During this period, we will not be with Shaodong's family. If anything happens -"
Lu Yi said: "Don't worry, I'm not helpless. I will take care of myself. Moreover, even if you want to stay with me, others will not agree."
Shi Huan still wanted to say something, but Nangong Yan said, "Just follow the order."
Shi Huan then glanced at Lu Yi worriedly and said yes.
