The personal soldiers shouted loudly, and the horse riders on the shore seemed to hear it, and they strangled the war horses. A knight rushed forward and shouted: "Is the Jiangzhong fleet Liu aboard a boat?"

"It's Liu Taishou, who are you?"

"We are Liu Biejia's family, and we will find the prefect if there is an urgent matter."

A small boat came up and picked up the leader onto the small boat. Liu Jing didn't know what urgent Liu Xian sent someone to find him. He walked out of the cabin and asked, "What happened?"

The leader knew Liu Jing and hurriedly took out a letter and knelt on one knee to confess. Liu Jing took it and read it. He was shocked. Liu Biao's condition worsened and he was about to die. He hoped that he would return to Xiangyang quickly.

"When did this happen?"

"It was at the second update last night that my master received the news and hurriedly wrote this letter, asking us to rush to Jiangxia."

Liu Jing thought to himself, why didn’t Kuai Yue tell him about such an important thing?

Perhaps he had sent someone south and missed it with him. Liu Jing hoped that this was the case, but since the last time he discussed the alliance, Liu Jing had a feeling that Kuai Yue seemed to have already admitted defeat, and began to favor being close to Cao.

However, it is no wonder that the Kuai family's farmland and assets are mostly concentrated in Nanjun, and now Nanjun has become Liu Bei's sphere of influence, which has not only failed for several years, but also suffered huge property losses. If the Kuai family wants to recover the losses, they can only find a stronger backend.

Obviously, Kuai Yue believed that Liu Jing was not strong enough, at least far less powerful than Cao's army. He believed that after Cao's army advanced south, he would undoubtedly be defeated. It was precisely because Kuai Yue gradually returned to the past and slowly turned back to the Cao faction.

But at this time, Liu Jing did not allow him to think about it carefully. He immediately said to the leader who delivered the letter: "You go back and report to the boss, and just say that I have received the letter."

Before dawn, more than ten long-lived lamps were lit in the room, illuminating the ward as daytime. After months of suffering, Liu Biao finally reached the moment when the oil was exhausted. At the fifth o'clock in the morning, his confidant guards invited Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and Liu Xian to the provincial governor's mansion.

Although most of the guards had been bribed by Mrs. Cai, when Liu Biao died, several confidant guards still followed his orders and invited the three high-ranking officials in Jingzhou to the ward.

On the steps outside the ward, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Liu Xian and Liu Cong stood quietly with their hands down. Their expressions were very complicated, including sadness, pain, and confusion.

At this time the door opened, and the doctor Zhang Jin walked out and said to everyone in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Zhou wants to see everyone, go in!"

The four of them walked into the room and surrounded Liu Biao's couch. Liu Biao was already withered, his breath was weak, but his spirit improved unexpectedly, and his face also had a strange luster.

Everyone knew that they had turned back at this time, and they lowered their heads sadly. Mrs. Cai, who was standing in the corner of the wall, couldn't help but cover her mouth and turned her head, tears falling like rain.

"I have... a few words to explain."

On the sickbed, Liu Biao slowly turned his head and looked at everyone, and asked faintly: "Where is Qi'er and Jing'er?"

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue looked at each other and did not dare to answer. Liu Xian hesitated and said, "Mr. Qi is worried about the governor of the state and falls ill in Nanjun. Mr. Jing is fighting against Cao's army in Fancheng. I have sent someone to find him."

Cai Mao was shocked, and glanced at Liu Xian with a sharp look, then quickly retracted his eyes and lowered his head without saying a word.

"Why!"

Liu Biao sighed softly, "He is always sick... unreliable!"

No one in the ward answered, and no one knew what Liu Biao meant, but he could hear the disappointment in Liu Biao's tone.

Kuai Yue's lips moved, as if he wanted to defend Liu Qi, but he thought of Liu Qi ruthlessly abandoning himself and surrendering to Liu Bei, and he felt a sense of hatred in his heart. He immediately bit his lips tightly and said nothing.

Liu Biao said hard and slowly: "When a person is about to die, his words are good. Some things... I have only figured it out until now."

He looked at Liu Cong again. Liu Cong understood and stepped forward and knelt down and held his father's hand. Drops of tears rolled down. At this moment, his heart was filled with endless regret.

"Idiot, peace is blessing!"

"Father..." Liu Cong burst into tears.

Several people next to him were very surprised. How could Liu Biao say the saying "Peace is for blessing"? At this time, he should have handed over the seal and ribbon of the governor to Liu Cong.

Cai Mao could no longer help but whisper: "Prince of the State, please rest assured. We will definitely devote ourselves to assisting the second young master!"

Liu Biao shook his head, his tone became extremely firm, "Cong'er can't afford it, I decided to pass the governor of Jingzhou to Jing'er."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue. Everyone in the room was shocked. No one could have dreamed that Liu Biao's final decision was to pass the position of governor to his nephew Liu Jing.

After a while, Liu Xian was the first to kneel down, "I am the governor of Zunzhou!"

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao stood there for a while, and then kneeled down helplessly. At this time, Mrs. Cai suddenly reacted and shouted like crazy: "No! He is confused. You can't listen to him. You must be the second son who succeeded to the throne!"

Liu Biao was furious and pointed his finger at Mrs. Cai with a trembling hand, "You, you..."

He fainted suddenly, everyone was shocked and they all shouted in a hurry. The doctor Zhang Jin ran in. He tried his pulse, which was very weak and almost couldn't do it.

He sighed and said to everyone: "Everyone goes down! I will do my best."

This means that Liu Biao is no longer able to do it. Everyone retreated with their own worries. As soon as they went out, Cai Mao asked Liu Xian coldly: "Liu Biejia, have you really gone to send a letter to Liu Jing?"

Cai Mao's condescending question made Liu Xian disgusted, and he also sneered, "Young Master Jing is the nephew of the provincial governor. What's wrong with letting him meet his uncle for the last time? Besides, the Zhou Mu just said it very clearly. He was told that the position of Jingzhou was given to Youth Prince Jing. If the military advisor Cai refused to summon the officials to announce it, then I will call it!"

Cai Mao was furious and pulled out the sword from the guard beside him. The sharp blade pointed at Liu Xian and shouted: "Bold, how dare you bully me!"

Liu Xian was not afraid, glared at Cai Mao, and said tit-for-tat: "You dare to kill someone in front of the provincial governor's ward?"

Seeing the two of them having a sharp conflict, Kuai Yue hurried forward and advised: "It's not about the issue of succession. Let's handle the funeral of the provincial governor first, and then sit down and discuss it slowly."

At this time, several guards asked them to go down and rest. Liu Xian and Cai Mao snorted at the same time, and each turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, Cai Mao turned around and looked at Liu Xian's back coldly, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes.

In a quiet room, Liu Xian sat cross-legged, but his mind was quickly thinking about the next strategy. At the last moment, Liu Biao actually appointed Liu Jing as the heir to Jingzhou, which surprised him.

But at the same time, it was also very excited. In this way, the revival of Jingzhou was expected. Liu Xian was different from the Cai family and Kuai family. He was a famous scholar in Lingling, not a noble family, and did not have deep family interests.

At first he was a neutral faction, but later he gradually turned to Liu Jing, firmly supported Liu Jing as the lord of Jingzhou, and recommended his nephew Liu Min and nephew Zhou Busi to Jiangxia.

His most worry was that Liu Jing lacked his reputation, but now Liu Biao actually appointed Liu Jing to inherit the lord of Jingzhou, which made Liu Xian feel relieved, which means that Liu Biao finally saw the situation clearly at the last moment of death.

However, Liu Xian also knew that Cai Mao would never agree to let Liu Jing be the lord of Jingzhou, and there must be a fierce struggle.

Just as he was thinking, a young guard hurried in. The man was named Liu Qun, one of Liu Biao's confidant guards and Liu Xian's nephew.

"Uncle Second, the situation is not good!" Liu Qun said nervously.

Liu Xian was stunned and asked quickly: "What happened?"

"I just got a piece of news that Cai Mao had secretly sent someone to mobilize the army. He was probably going to surround the provincial muslim mansion. Second uncle, please leave!"

Liu Xian nodded slowly. As he expected, the news that Cai Mao would never let Liu Jing be the lord of Jingzhou spread.

Now that the lord has reached the last moment, he certainly cannot leave. Liu Xian pondered for a moment, then tore off a white silk lining, cut his fingers with Liu Qun's dagger, quickly wrote a blood letter, took out one of his close-fitting jade pendants, and whispered a few words to Liu Qun.

Liu Qun was shocked, "Will the Second Uncle leave?"

"Cai Mao dares not kill me yet. At most, imprison me. Go away! Leave Xiangyang quickly and leave quickly!"

Liu Qun had no choice but to stuff the blood letter and jade pendant into his arms, ran out of the room quickly, and took advantage of the opportunity that the army had not yet surrounded him and climbed over the wall to leave the provincial governor's mansion.
