As expected, the man hurriedly nailed the lid back on and hurried out of the city. It did not arouse any suspicion.

When Liu Bei saw the carriage and horses moving, his heart really came to life!

Yi Jie was also delighted when he saw the carriages and horses leaving the city, and immediately sent someone to report the news to Guan Yu secretly. At the same time, he also asked people to hear where Guan Yu was at this time!

Although Guan Yu is thin-skinned and is not as noisy as Zhang Fei, he has very clear priorities. In other words, although he is in the presence of others, his heart is with Liu Bei. Cai Mao invited him here. He said that he was going to a banquet and invited him to drink. Guan Yu declined again and again, but everyone tried their best to force him to do so. If this continued, they were afraid that Guan Yu would fall out, so everyone did not dare to force him, even though they were angry at him for giving him face. Shameless, but also shy of his abilities, so he is very polite on the surface.

Seeing this, Cai Mao changed his strategy and said a bunch of clichés, saying that his brother-in-law was seriously ill now and Jingzhou was in danger. He was only afraid that Sun Ce would cross the river and come back again. In this critical time, he must be kind and united, and then defend Jingzhou. At this time, it is even more important to be consistent with the outside world. Liu Shijun is a benevolent person, and Mao is also a righteous person. It is even more inappropriate to be separated and create internal rifts, which will be inappropriate!

It was said so euphemistically that Guan Yu only thought that Cai Mao was planning for the future?! He knew that the relationship between Liu Biao and his brother could not be changed, so he changed the relationship from normal?!

I was still doubtful for a while, and with the noise of people, I couldn't come up with a result.

But this did mislead Guan Yu, and then everyone took advantage of his confusion and tried their best to crowd him to the field to test his martial arts. It was said to be a competition, but in fact it was just a fight. They even asked Guan Yu to give instructions on one or two sword techniques and important points. If we can bring out one or two more generals with weapons, why worry about Jingzhou’s troubles?!

Guan Yu was not afraid of anything, he was just afraid of being flattered. When there were many people, and if he was flattered again, others would faint. In addition, when he saw that Cai Mao was also on the scene, he was relieved, so he really didn't worry about it anymore. He was serious. Instructed several mid-level warriors on their sword skills, including equestrian skills.

When we talked about the topic and what we were good at, we temporarily forgot where Cai Mao was.

When Cai Mao saw Guan Yu being surrounded by people, he hid behind others and left the arena unprepared.

Then he led the people and ran quickly to the Prefecture Mu's Mansion, saying: "Liu Bei, the thief, is still in the house, so it's not easy for him to do anything. Let's lure him out by tricking him! If something happens to Guan Yu, he will definitely fall into the trap..."

We had already prepared the manpower and went to Liu Biao's house first.

After entering, I realized that Liu Bei was nowhere to be seen?!

When he came out to report to Cai Hao, Cai Hao was also panicked and said angrily: "How could a good person disappear suddenly?! He must still be in the house, go look for him! Even if he escapes from the house and the city gate is closed, he can fly out No?! Go in and search quickly! Go and appease the steward of the mansion and tell your brother-in-law that a thief is here and something has been lost!"

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to Liu Biao and the important people in the government, otherwise Cai Mao would not be able to bear the charge of disrespecting the state pastor!

Immediately, in the name of searching for the theft of domestic slaves, they started searching the house. The more they searched, the uglier Cai Mao's face became!

He personally went to look for Liu Biao, but he didn't see Liu Biao. He only saw Kuai Liang. What could Kuai Liang not understand after seeing this scene?! He was afraid that Liu Bei had already left the house. He was just wondering in his heart, Liu Bei was still the same.

God will help him. God will not kill him. He can escape from such a crisis. What is it if it is not God's will? Such an opportunity...

If he can't be found in the city, I'm afraid Liu Bei will be the master in the future.

Kuai Liang knew it well and sighed in his heart. He said to Cai Hao in surprise: "Degui, but something important has been lost in the house?!" His expression seemed as if he really didn't know what he was searching for!
p>

Cai Mao squinted his eyes, a little suspicious of him, and said: "My brother-in-law is seriously ill, and the slave dares to steal. If he doesn't find someone to whip him to death, how can he establish the authority of the state pastor? So Mao had an idea and came here."

"That's it!" Kuai Liang nodded and said, "It's time to clean up the atmosphere in the mansion!"

Cai Mao looked at him and said, "I wonder how my brother-in-law and Xuande's public conversation was going to go well?!"

Kuai Liang said in surprise: "My lord has gone into the inner room to recuperate. Duke Xuande is not by his side. Is he not in the house?! My lord wanted to talk to him just now. I am coming out to invite him..."

Cai Hao looked at his expression without showing any slight change. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Maybe I got lost somewhere. How are you, brother-in-law?!"

"I have just recovered," Kuai Liang said: "I am very worried. Degui needs to keep his voice low when searching for thieves, so as not to disturb the lord's recuperation. When there is a result, I will report to the lord again!"

Cai Mao had a guilty conscience. Even if he wanted to go to Liu Biao to see if Liu Biao had hidden him, he did not dare to be so blatant and said in a panic: "... Mao made his own assertions and disturbed the house. He is really guilty.

After I caught the person, I went to plead guilty to my brother-in-law, and I asked Zirou to defend me."

Kuai Liang had no words to defend him and only said: "De Gui is also dedicated to serving as a state pastor, for Jingzhou, and for the government. He has worked hard and achieved great results. My lord is not a harsh person. Even if he wants to blame him, it is just a matter between family members."

.The crisis in Jingzhou is when you rely on your family. Without Degui guarding Jingzhou, how could Jingzhou be what it is today? Although Liang is an adviser, he never alienates his relatives and does not dare to talk too much. Degui is too worried!

”

This is to tell him that I will not get involved in the affairs between you. I will not say good things about you, but I will not say bad things about you either, expressing a neutral attitude.

When Cai Mao saw what he said, he didn't dare to be aggressive anymore, so he didn't ask to look for him anymore and retreated automatically.

Cai Mao was still a little suspicious, so he went to ask Kuai Yue for his opinion. Kuai Yue said: "My brother is definitely not someone who wholeheartedly helps Liu Bei. If he is not here, I'm afraid he is really gone! Degui should search the city again."

Kuai Yue was a loyal friend of Cai Mao. It is inappropriate to say that he was a counselor, because he had a high status in Cai Mao's family. Cai Mao respected his opinions and treated him like a friend, not a minister.<

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Cai Mao trusted Kuai Yue very much, and when he saw what Kuai Yue said, he knew better.

That's right! Kuai Liang is definitely not helping the Liu faction. Cai Mao firmly believes in Kuai Yue's character and will not violate his inner perseverance in order to protect Kuai Liang. As a counselor, family and brotherhood are not the first priority.

The situation is bigger, and everyone has their own ambitions. Therefore, it is impossible for family ties to block their vision and opinions! Just like the brothers of the Zhuge family, and this kind is the norm. But it is impossible for them to be like the Sima family.

There are also those who work together and put family inheritance first, but these two are completely different pursuits.

The Sima family attaches great importance to family inheritance. If one person is prosperous, the family will be prosperous, and if the family is prosperous, everyone will be prosperous.

As for the Kuai brothers and the Zhuge brothers, they basically do not interfere with each other. Some are like the Zhuge family, each serving its master, and some are like Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, both of whom are in Jingzhou, but their political ideas are completely different. They are almost the same.

Although they often meet, call each other brothers, and have family ties, they never mention each other's political ideas. If they mention each other's political ideas, they will start to quarrel, so it is better to just insist on each other's opinions...

Kuai Liang devoted his whole heart to Liu Jingsheng and Jingzhou. Didn’t Kuai Yue wholeheartedly serve Jingzhou?! Of course he did too. It’s just a matter of ideals. Just like a person’s three views, even if they are blood and family, the three views are different and cannot be forced.

Of!

But you said that because of different views, you choose not to be friends or brothers anymore. This kind of thing happens quite often. Because of some different ideas, there are quite a few people who end up becoming enemies or strangers.

But for people like Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, their patterns are very comparable. They do not interfere with each other. Although they each follow different paths, it does not affect that they are still brothers and family members!

Family affection should not be the only unified judgment, and moreover, each individual's differences should not affect the family affection part.

"In that case, search the house quickly," Cai Mao said, "then exit."

He didn't dare to make too big a fuss about the state pastor's office. Being able to act without authorization was just taking advantage of his brother-in-law. Otherwise, if he was just a powerful official and not a relative, the nature of the matter would be very serious.

It’s huge!

Now, the search for a house thief is just a family matter. Although it is a treason, as long as the brother-in-law protects Ichigo, it is not a big problem.

But even so, Cai Mao didn't want to make too much noise, otherwise many people in Jingzhou would run into a wall with him!

If it is characterized as internal change, civil strife, coup, etc., it is really unjust.

Kuai Yue also knew that the problem would change, and did not dare to make too much trouble. He quickly asked him to block the city gate immediately. As long as the city gate is locked and people can't get out, can they still fly?! Even Guan Yu, also

It's just a turtle in a urn.

Cai Mao knew that he was powerful, so he packed up the infantry and prepared archers at the same time. He was going to get serious!

After this search, it was naturally impossible for Mrs. Cai not to hear the noise, so she hurriedly came to look for him. When she learned that Liu Bei was nowhere to be found, Mrs. Cai said anxiously: "How could a good person run away suddenly?!"

"My good sister!" Cai Mao said: "How can there be no one in my sister's house right under my nose?!"

Mrs. Cai also felt regretful and said: "I thought that nothing would happen if I stayed in the palace, but unexpectedly Liu Bei was so cunning and caught him by surprise and ran away!"

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. The more she thought about it, the more wrong she became. She said: "There must be a traitor. Look who is missing from the house?! Check the concierge carefully and ask who has come in and out today!"

With Mrs. Cai in charge, Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief. He really looked like he had lost something important, and called the servants one by one for investigation. It doesn't matter if you don't do the investigation. Once you do the investigation, no matter how big the mansion is, it can only

It’s so big, how can it still be undetected?!

The two siblings understood the whole story and went to search the residence of the lower servants behind the stable. Sure enough, they found Chinese clothes in the pile of firewood. Cai Hao looked at the pile and said angrily: "... He really ran away! Go quickly!"

Search for the disguised person!"

On the one hand, he ordered people to search for suspicious people in the city, and on the other hand, he sent people to find Ji Ping's whereabouts.

When Cai Mao withdrew from his residence and expanded into the city, Kuai Liang also reported the matter to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao sighed and said: "If this dragnet can help him escape, it is God's will."

Kuai Liang was silent, who could have imagined?! But Kuai knew clearly in his conscience that the Jingzhou pastor was benevolent and righteous to the people, and many people in Jingzhou who originally defended Liu Biao actually hoped that someone similar to Liu Biao would succeed him as the governor. This person is

Who, needless to say, is undoubtedly Liu Bei!

Kuai Liang didn't say it, Liu Biao didn't say it, but how could he not understand in his heart?! How could this be God's will or not? Someone was helping.

So, how important is the name of benevolence and righteousness? Needless to say? This advantage is not old acquaintance, but people who have heard of the name have to help him. Therefore, Liu Bei's card does not seem to be better than that of the princes.

No matter how much, in fact, everything he owns is nominal and real!

Liu Bei has been running the name of Renyi for many years. When he was in Jingzhou, he made friends all over the world. The name of Renyi spread to the whole world. This circle was originally closed. Except for the common people who only knew how to farm or do small business, most of the circles of literati overlapped, including counselors.

, famous ministers, literati, etc... No one knows about Liu Bei, and most people recognize Liu Bei. Even though there are not many people around him who go to him, it is not because of his poor reputation or anything else, but simply

He just has no considerations of power.

When Liu Bei establishes his foundation one day, there will naturally be a cloud of people defecting to him, just like water flowing into a trough, it will just happen naturally.

This is not God's will, it is humanity.

Just like in Jingzhou, there may not be anyone who wants to be friends with Liu Bei, and there may even be people who want to leave a way out. The reason why they don't defect at this time is just because of various factors, and with the help of this way out, in the future Liu Biao will die and Jingzhou will be in chaos, and they will

If you don't want to surrender to Cao Cao or Xuzhou, you can go to Liu Bei.

So under various factors, Liu Bei had someone to help him!

It’s because of the countless roads he has helped in the past, and also because of the current situation.

Kuai Liang knew that Liu Biao felt uncomfortable, so he advised: "Maybe we can find it in the city!"

"Without my order, if someone deliberately wanted to hide him, he might not be able to find it," Liu Biao sighed. The contradiction lies here, it is impossible for him to give this order. And although Cai Mao can cover the sky with one hand, he will never

Dare to act too wantonly. Without his warrant, does he really dare to turn Jingzhou upside down?! This is not necessarily the case!
To be continued...
