Chapter 218 Crisis Sudden(1/2)
Liu Jing bowed and said, "It's up to my uncle to decide everything!"
Liu Biao nodded with a smile, and stroked his beard and pondered for a moment: "Your father's name is Liu Bing. In fact, this is not his real name. It was because he was weak and sick when he grew up, so your grandfather changed his name to Bing. His real name is Liu Qing, and his courtesy name is Wensheng."
Liu Biao paused for a moment and smiled, "You are the only bloodline of my father, and I will give you a word: Yanqing, so your name includes both my name and father's name. Jing'er, I hope you have more children. Until now, we brothers do not have a grandchild, which makes me anxious."
"Yanqing, Liu Yanqing!"
Liu Jing thought to himself that the word "六" was a bit unelegant enough, which made him think of Prince Yanqing. Fortunately, it was not called Xiaoqing or Yan'an. However, since he had decided, he did not refuse and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your words!"
"Don't be polite to me, this is my duty."
Liu Biao smiled and then picked up the teapot and added water to his tea bowl, but found that the tea had not moved at all. He was stunned and immediately understood, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart. This bastard! He was so vigilant.
But Liu Biao's face was not at all slightest. After the family relationship was explained, he began to get to the main topic today. He sighed again and said, "When he talked about the few children, I have to talk to you about the marriage. I heard some rumors that you plan to marry Tao Sheng's daughter, is there any such thing?"
Liu Jing nodded, "This is indeed the case!"
Liu Jing was already ready to wait for Liu Biao's anger, but unexpectedly, Liu Biao was very calm. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The Tao family is a businessman, but you Liu Jing is my nephew and the royal family lineage. Have you considered this kind of family difference?"
Of course, Liu Jing also considered it. He replied calmly: "Cao Cao's first wife, Ding, and his legitimate wife, Bian, have never had a noble identity. Liu Huangshu's wife, Mi, is also the daughter of a businessman. He has never heard of him dislike him. His nephew thought that the man Jianye should strive for self-improvement, so why should he rely on his wife?"
Speaking of this, he felt a little ashamed. Is he relying on the Tao family's strong financial resources?
Liu Biao was still not angry, and he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Have you decided to marry her?"
"I've decided!"
Liu Biao nodded, "I know you like to be independent. When you asked you to marry the daughter of Cai, you refused, but you insisted on marrying the daughter of a merchant. Well! I know Tao Lie was an official in Nanyang County. I plan to join forces with Xuande to attack Nanyang. After conquering Nanyang, you will be appointed as the prefect of Nanyang and Tao Sheng as the governor of Nanyang County. What do you think?"
Only then did Liu Jing understand what Liu Biao meant, and used the marriage to exchange for giving up Jiangxia, and at the same time, Nanyang County was used to compensate, which made a good idea!
Liu Jing couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Not to mention whether he could capture Nanyang, even if he could capture, could he be able to defend it? If he couldn't defend it, Liu Jing had to come to Xiangyang to beg for food.
More importantly, Liu Bei. Liu Biao's deeper foreshadowing was that he wanted to compete with Liu Bei for the internal strife in Nanyang. He came to reap the benefits of the fisherman. He thought very well, but did his marriage require Liu Biao to make the decision?
Liu Jing bowed his head and said nothing. He did not agree immediately. He knew that if he refused flatly, the consequence would be that he would not be able to leave the Liu Mansion. But if he agreed, Liu Biao would immediately announce the appointment of him as the prefect of Nanyang County and appease his subordinates. And he would not be able to leave the Liu Mansion, what should he do?
At this moment, Liu Jing suddenly heard the low and dense footsteps, surrounding the study. Liu Jing looked up at Liu Biao and found that the family affection in his smile had disappeared, and behind his hypocritical smile was a fierce murderous intent that could not be concealed.
Liu Jing's thoughts changed rapidly. The only way to escape was to take Liu Biao away from Xiangyang City. But in that case, his crime of infidelity and unfiliality would be confirmed and his future would be completely destroyed. But if this was not the case, how could he leave the Liu Mansion?
Besides, the two bodyguards were standing beside Liu Biao, yes! Beside him, he was behind him just now, and now they were on the left and right side, standing on both sides of Liu Biao, he had no chance at all.
The two pairs of stone sculptures' unswerving eyes suddenly became as sharp as a sharp blade, staring at him fiercely. As long as he made a move, the two bodyguards would immediately start and block Liu Biao with their mountain-like bodies.
Sweat had already wet Liu Jing's back. For the first time, he felt helpless. At this moment, a young woman screamed in horror from outside, "Save me! Father-in-law save me!"
This was Cai Shaoyu's voice, and Liu Jing could hear it, just like a door that was unexpectedly opened in front of the road, and Liu Jing's heart suddenly lit up.
Cai Shaoyu suddenly burst into tears, "You let go, let me go!"
The door was knocked open with a 'bang!', and Cai Shaoyu stumbled in. She was not so rude and forced to break into the study. It was just that Liu Cong wanted to kill her, which made her very frightened and rushed into the study regardless of everything.
Seeing that Cai Shaoyu was about to fall, Liu Jing quickly supported her, "Second Sister-in-law, be careful!"
Several soldiers rushed to the door, but they could not catch Cai Shaoyu and let her rush in. The soldiers' faces were extremely frightened. Cai Shaoyu's accident broke the crisis, and Liu Biao couldn't hold back and shouted angrily: "What happened?"
Cai Shaoyu knelt down on the ground and cried loudly, unable to say a word. She wrote a letter to her father this afternoon to tell her about her humiliation, but the letter was intercepted by her husband Liu Cong.
Just now, Liu Cong came to threaten her with a sword, not allowing her to disclose any daytime affairs to anyone. Cai Shaoyu discovered that Liu Cong really wanted to kill her, and she was so scared that she ran to ask for help from Liu Biao.
A series of footsteps rushed towards him, and Liu Cong also chased him to the door of the study, holding a sword in his hand, and staring at Cai Shaoyu viciously. If this slutty woman dared to reveal his secret, he would kill her with one sword.
When Liu Biao saw his son holding a sword into the room, he became even more angry, "Beast, what are you going to do? Drag him out!"
An opportunity suddenly appeared in front of Liu Jing. Before the opportunity could disappear, Liu Jing stepped forward, grabbed Liu Cong, and forced the sword from his hand, but shouted loudly, "Second brother, what are you doing? Are you threatening your father with a sword? Come out with me!"
He grabbed Liu Cong and walked out with great strides. The long sword was placed unknowingly on Liu Cong's shoulders and back, only two inches from the back of his neck. Before Liu Cong could respond, his bones were almost broken by Liu Jing, and he cursed: "Bastard! Let me go, come and let him go!"
Liu Jing warned in an extremely low voice: "If you dare to scream again, I will kill you with one sword!"
Liu Jing's gloomy tone finally made Liu Cong feel a little reminiscent. He glanced at Liu Jing, and was shocked when he saw the murderous intent in his eyes, so he placed the sword under his neck.
He saw hundreds of soldiers hiding around him, and then he understood a little. His father wanted to deal with Liu Jing, but he unfortunately became a hostage to Liu Jing. He was immediately frightened and turned his eyes to look at his father.
Hundreds of ambush soldiers around him showed up, watching the second young master become Liu Jing's hostage, but none of them dared to step forward.
Liu Biao also chased out of the room, but saw Liu Jing pushing his son's sword under the back of his neck, which shocked him. He was anxious and angry, but helpless.
At this time, Liu Jing shouted: "Uncle, my second brother is in a bad mood. I will take him to Fancheng first and enlighten him well. Uncle, don't worry! With me here, my second brother will never have any accidents."
Just as Liu Cong was about to speak, his cold sword had moved to his neck, and the sharp blade hurt his skin, "If you want to die, tell me!" Liu Cong was so scared that he bit his lips suddenly, not daring to say another word.
Liu Jing dragged Liu Cong and quickly left the study yard and walked towards the front yard. At this time, Mrs. Cai also heard the news that Liu Cong was going to kill Shaoyu, and ran over in a panic, but met Liu Jing and Liu Cong head-on.
"What's going on? Liu Jing, why are you doing with your sword against my son?"
Liu Jing had already made his promise at this time, and he whispered: "Get out! Say one more thing, I will kill you together."
"Madam, go!"
Hundreds of guards rushed out with swords and shouted to the head officer, "He has taken the second young master hostage, please go away!"
Only then did Mrs. Cai realize the danger, she was so scared that her face changed drastically, and she rolled and crawled to the side.
It seemed as if she had known Liu Jing for the first time, and she was extremely afraid. The cold murderous intent in Liu Jing's eyes made her tremble. Her legs became weak and she collapsed to the ground. The two maids couldn't help her.
Liu Jing didn't care about Mrs. Cai at this time. He was anxious. If he dragged another step, the danger would be even greater. He no longer felt soft and dragged Liu Cong quickly outward. Only Liu Cong cried in unbearable pain: "Please be gentle, be gentle, blood! My neck is bleeding."
At this time, Liu Biao also ran out with his sword. He seemed to have not seen his wife lying on the ground, his eyes burning with anger, and he stared at Liu Jing's distant back fiercely.
At this time, his guard leader came forward to report: "It's still time to arrest him now, please ask the provincial governor for instructions!"
Liu Biao had only wanted to capture Liu Jing and control him in his mansion, and had no intention of killing him. At this moment, his son was in Liu Jing's hands, and his last little courage was also gone. He could only sigh and said, "Look at him and don't act rashly."
"Prince, maybe we can use the army to intercept Fancheng."
"asshole!"
Liu Biao suddenly became furious and raised his hand and slapped him in the face, "Do you want to kill my son?"
He turned around and rushed towards the study room angrily, took a few steps, and stopped and turned around and said, "No one is allowed to leak this matter!"

Liu Jing dragged Liu Cong out of the mansion. Fortunately, his twenty subordinates were still waiting for the horses opposite the gate. Seeing that Liu Jing almost rushed out, the soldiers surrounded him.
"Sima, what happened?"
"Don't ask more!"
Liu Jing pushed Liu Cong to the soldiers, "Tie him up and take him away!"
The soldiers quickly tied Liu Cong up, blocked his mouth, covered it with a blanket, and carried the horse's back. Everyone got on the horse and followed Liu Jing toward the north gate.
It was already the first time, and the rain was getting heavier. The dense raindrops were mixed with tiny snow particles. The cold was biting cold. Liu Jing led his men to the north city and shouted: "I am Liu Jing. The summoning of the Zhou Mu was over. Please open the city gate and let me go out!"
The soldiers on the top of the city recognized him. The provincial governor guards used gold medals to lead Liu Jing into the city. Now they are about to leave the city. According to convention, they also need to show gold medals when they go out of the city. However, the soldiers guarding the city respected Liu Jing, so they did not make things difficult for him and opened the city gate.
Liu Jing ran out of the city. As soon as Liu Jing left the city, hundreds of Liu Biao's guards immediately chased after him. The leader shouted to the top of the city: "Where is Mr. Jing?"
"He has left the city!"
"You damn bastards, dare to open the city without authorization!" The guards cursed, but did not dare to rush out of the city.

The war horse stopped beside the Han River. Liu Jing raised his head and felt the coldness of the raindrops with snow particles hitting his face. The biting coldness could not be compared with the chill in his heart.
The chill in his heart seemed to freeze his whole body, mind and emotions into icicles. Tonight's shock made him unforgettable for this life. He had to thank God. When he was facing despair, God once again released his kindness to him.
After sorting out his thoughts for a little, Liu Jing immediately turned around and said to Li Qing: "You lead a hundred brothers to Longzhong immediately, bring Miss Tao and Mr. Xu back, tell them that the situation is critical and you must return to Jiangxia immediately."
