Chapter 143 Liu Biao’s letter
It was already half an hour later when Liu Qi saw Liu Bei again, and at the same time he also saw Zhang Yun, who had been chasing them.
Of course, it's just that Zhang Yun has turned into a corpse now.
"I saw bandits wreaking havoc on the road, and they dared to kill the Xiangyang guard!
I really couldn’t see anyone doing such a bad thing when Brother Jing Sheng was mourning, so I wasted a little time.”
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he had Zhang Yun's body thrown directly to the ground. He said he was mourning Zhang Yun's death, but his face was full of disdain.
At the same time, another corpse whose appearance could not be seen clearly was delivered to Huang Zu very respectfully.
"When the preparations arrive, it will already be... Huang Fujun's condolences!"
Huang Zu looked at the corpse of his beloved general in front of him, and his lips inevitably trembled a little, but he still tried his best to suppress his emotions. After bowing and saluting Liu Bei, he moved aside to let Liu Qi and Liu Bei meet.
"Uncle!"
The moment he saw Liu Bei, he didn't know if he was finally relieved or if he had other thoughts. In short, at this moment, he knelt down and worshiped in front of Liu Bei.
That look was like hugging Liu Bei's legs directly....
"Good nephew, get up, get up!" Liu Bei quickly pulled Liu Qi up from the ground in three steps and two at a time. At the same time, looking at the sad and sad look on his face, he also directly reprimanded, "You are the son of Brother Jing Sheng.
, is the future master of Jingzhou, you must not do this!"
"Uncle..."
"I have made the matter clear. My nephew, you can rest assured. My uncle will definitely seek justice for your nephew!" Liu Bei pulled Liu Qi and said softly, "My condolences... about your Majesty!"
"Uncle, this is a letter from father to uncle...and this thing." As Liu Qi spoke, he took out a letter from the lining.
Also taken out at the same time was a copper staff that was neither long nor short.
"Talk Festival..." Liu Bei did not take the thing, but looked at the thing in Liu Qi's hand with a look of surprise.
"When my father was conferred the title of General Zhennan by the imperial court, His Majesty asked Zuo Zhonglang, General Zhu Dan, to give this gift to my father and grant him the right to take holidays.
Neither the tiger talisman nor the seal can be taken out, but my father has kept it close to his chest for many years and will not show it to others easily.
After so many years, many people have forgotten this thing. My father asked me to give it to my uncle.
And in addition to this, my father also asked General Wang Wei to submit a letter to the court, and he will recommend his nephew to be the pastor of Jingzhou...as the pastor of Jingzhou."
"You are the eldest son of Brother Jing Sheng, so the position of Jingzhou Shepherd is naturally yours!" Liu Bei said directly to reassure Liu Qi, "Even if Brother Jing Sheng doesn't serve as governor, my uncle will do it."

"Thank you very much, uncle. This is a letter from my father to my uncle. Please take a look at it."
Looking at the neatly folded letters, Liu Bei hesitated for a moment.
"My brother Xuande personally initiated the ceremony.
This letter is in the hands of my virtuous brother. Jingzhou is already in a turmoil. As a brother, I would like to congratulate my virtuous brother for having waited so long for the opportunity to come.
In the past, I borrowed my brother's money to live temporarily in Xinye. Although it was beneficial, I still hope that my brother will remember my brother's feelings and finally give my brother a place to live.
And because of the small town of Xinye, my wise brother was able to gather his troops, recharge his batteries, and achieve today's momentum.
Over the years, although Brother Fool has encountered many obstacles, he has never had any serious problems. Now I hope that Brother Xian will deal with it a lot, so that the past can go with the wind and go with me.
This letter is nothing more than a heartfelt request to my virtuous brother. I hope that my virtuous brother, with the kindness of sharing the same surname as you and me, will protect the dog and have a worry-free life.
As for the fact that although there is a dog in charge of Jingzhou, he is cowardly and has no courage. He is a plan for the people of Jingzhou. Please give him some guidance and guidance.
Although Jingzhou has been the site of four battles, it also has a unique situation. My brother has visited Jingzhou throughout his life. Although I don’t dare to say that I have any merit, I dare to say that I have made some achievements.
From now on, Jingzhou and Quanzi will be handed over to my virtuous brother. I hope you will accept this sentiment and protect Quanzi's safety.
Guarantee that I will have a descendant.
I pay my respects to my foolish brother Liu Jingsheng."
Liu Bei had been in Jingzhou for many years, and he often had banquets with Liu Biao in his early years, but he rarely wrote to him, and naturally he did not recognize his handwriting.
But...Liu Bei could also see clearly from the letter at this time that Liu Biao was already very weak when he wrote this letter.
"Hey!" With a long sigh, Liu Bei closed the letter again and handed it to Liu Qi, "This is Brother Jingsheng's fault. I think it's better to leave it to my nephew for safekeeping.
As for what will happen in the future, you don’t need to say more.
I understand."
When the letter was delivered again, Liu Qi did not open it, but continued to keep it close to him. After thanking Liu Bei profusely, he stood beside Liu Bei and truly became a nephew.
After dealing with Liu Qi, Liu Bei also came to Huang Zu who was sitting on the ground beside Chen Ju.
This Huang Fujun is a famous face-loving person in Jingzhou. It is really rare to see him in such a state of embarrassment without any regard for etiquette.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Huang Fu, for your help this time. If it weren't for Mr. Huang Fu's help, I'm afraid it would be hard for me to see him..."
When Liu Bei was mid-sentence, he suddenly realized that something was not right. Looking at the silent and motionless Huang Zu, he slowly frowned.
"Huang Fujun?" Liu Bei called again. Seeing that Huang Zu still didn't make any movement, he pushed away everyone and came to Huang Zu's side to investigate carefully.
"Uncle..."
"Qi'er, kneel down!" Liu Bei took his hand off Huang Zu's body and said to Liu Qi without looking back, "Send Huang Zu off for your father's love."
Just after Liu Bei reached out his hand, he finally understood that the old general had followed Liu Biao.
Although he did not die on the battlefield to save his last bit of dignity, he was still an old man after all. At such an old age, his body has already been unable to bear the tossing and back-and-forth.
The moment he handed Liu Qi over to Liu Bei, the tight string in his heart broke.
"General Huang..."
"Perhaps Huang Zu is really not a good official, maybe he and brother Jing Sheng have a lot of conflicts, or maybe he really has done a lot of wrong things in recent years.
But he is still loyal to you, brother Jingsheng."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he slowly turned around and patted Liu Qi on the shoulder, sighing again.
"Your father has been a hero in his life!"
Under Liu Bei's gaze, Liu Qi directly opened the hem of his clothes and knelt down beside the lifeless Huang Zu.
Then he kowtowed to him respectfully, which was regarded as sending Huang Zu off on his last journey.
Huang Zu may have given up some career rights long ago in his life. He was greedy for money, lustful, and arrogant, but in the end he chose to stand by Liu Biao's side and did what a confidant of his should do.
At the same time that Huang Zu handed Liu Qi over to Liu Bei, Pang Ji also brought Liu Cong's order to the governor's mansion of Zhangling County, not far from Xiangyang.
