Chapter 119 Uncle and Nephew Night Talk

,,,,,,,,,,,,

Liu Jing still lives in his small house in Linhe. After living here for several months, he has gradually gotten used to and fell in love with this small house, which is his house and his home.

Liu Jing doesn't come back every day. Sometimes when he is on duty, he will live in the military camp. There are some special situations, such as last night's archery, he just slept directly in the military camp.

The room was bright and the light was soft. Liu Jing sat in his study and read a book with a light. At this time, Xiaobao brought a cup of hot tea into the room, and his little mouth was slightly pouting, as if he was a little unhappy.

"People drink tea"

She put the tea on the table with a grievance. Liu Jing put down the book and looked at her. Seeing that her eyes were red and she seemed to have cried, she couldn't help laughing, "What's going on? Who bullies you?"

Xiao Bao lowered his head, Liu Jing took a sip of tea, and looked at her again, "I was beaten by my mother."

"My mother won't hit me." Xiao Bao's voice was very small, and he muttered like a mosquito hum.

“That’s why”

Liu Jing thought about it and suddenly understood something, and smiled and said, "You want to go to Chaisang with me."

Xiao Bao didn't say anything, lowered his head and twisted his fingers. Liu Jing didn't expect that this little girl's mind was so delicate. She wanted to go to Chaisang with her, but she didn't say anything, and insisted on making riddles for him to guess.

"It's okay to go to Chaisang with me. I'll agree first, I won't take care of you."

"Don't take care of my husband, Gillian will take care of me. We made an appointment to visit Chaisang Lake together, and she also promised to teach me how to weave straw baskets."

Gillian is Tao Zhan’s personal maid. A few days ago, she and Xiao Bao were both together all day long and had become close friends. Liu Jing thought Xiao Bao was reluctant to leave him, but now she realized that this little girl wanted to go to play with her friends and didn’t take herself seriously at all.

He couldn't help but feel angry and funny, wanting to tease her again, but she saw that her eyes were flashing with the light of expectation. She felt that if she refused, it would be like a basin of ice water pouring into a lit brazier. This little girl might have lost her fragrance.

Thinking about it, but I couldn't bear it, Liu Jing stopped teasing her and nodded, "Then go pack up and leave early tomorrow morning, and we'll take a boat."

"Thank you, Mr.

Xiaobao smiled and jumped up with joy, ran out in a flash, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that she was running fast like a little waste, Liu Jing was afraid that she would regret it, so she couldn't help but shake her head. This little girl was spoiled by her, but she thought that she was only eleven years old and only ten years old. She felt relieved. She was obviously a child.

At this moment, a knock on the door came from outside, and Liu Jing's ears suddenly stood up. Who would it be

Soon, Uncle Meng went to open the door, but his terrified and trembling voice came, "Old...Master"

Old Master

Liu Jing thought about it, and he suddenly knew who was coming. It was his uncle Liu Biao. He quickly walked into the courtyard. A large group of guards came in, surrounded by someone. It was Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou.

Liu Jing never expected that Liu Biao would come to his own residence in person. He hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "Nephew Liu Jing, pay homage to my uncle."

Liu Biao smiled and helped him up, "No need to be polite, I'm here to see you, what about the tiger."

"Report to my uncle, Brother Hu is on duty tonight."

Liu Biao nodded, looked at the small house again, and said with a smile: "Although the house is not big and a little old, it is clean. I heard that this is the house given to you by Kuai Yi, he is quite considerate."

"Reporting to my uncle, Mr. Cai wanted to give his nephew a big mansion last time, but his nephew refused."

"Hehe, Junshi Cai's house is not that easy to get."

Liu Jing invited his uncle into his study and asked the small bag to put tea. Liu Biao sat down and looked at the bookstore piled up in the corner of the house. He picked up a volume casually. It turned out to be Zhuang. Qiushui. Liu Biao couldn't help but smile and said, "You actually like Lao Zhuang's chapter."

"My nephew can't say he likes it, he has nothing to do to have fun."

Liu Biao nodded, "I heard from Mr. Huang that you are very hard at practicing martial arts. I am just trying to tell you that not only need to practice martial arts, but also, being both martial arts is the way to be handsome. Practicing martial arts is nothing more than a general. Do you understand?"

"My nephew understands that once there is time, he will read it at night. Sun Shi, Sun Bin and Wei Liao, these military books, Huang Gong asked his nephew to read them intensively and dare not slacken."

"Mr. Huang also said that you are a person with strong self-control. In fact, I also saw that a few days ago, I realized that you are very strategic. Huang Shooting's martial arts skills are actually better than you, but you can defeat him with one sword. This is a typical plan first, defeating the strong with the weak. To be honest, this is more gratifying than defeating him by relying on martial arts."

Liu Jing nodded silently and didn't say anything. He knew in his heart that his uncle would have a deep meaning to come to find him tonight.

Liu Biao pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. Cai found me last night. He said he was willing to betroth his brother Cai Zi's daughter to you. I have seen that girl. She looks good. Would you consider it?"

Liu Jing said without hesitation: "If I were a concubine, I could accept it."

Be a concubine

Liu Biao laughed, "Cai Suo is the governor of Zhangling County. Cai Feng is the second time. That girl is his eldest daughter. If you want to take her as a concubine, you may have to commit suicide by hanging your beams."

"Then what else can I talk about?" Liu Jing sneered.

Liu Biao's smile disappeared, and he also smiled faintly: "In fact, I have already refused for you. Unless it is Cai Shaoyu, I will not consider any daughter of the Cai family."

Liu Jing remained silent. Liu Biao's words made him feel a little uncomfortable. It was his own business and it had nothing to do with anyone.

Liu Biao raised his eyes and glanced at him with a sharp look. He heard last night that Liu Jing had a close relationship with the daughter of the Tao family recently, which made Liu Biao very unhappy. Although the Tao family is rich enough to rival a country, it is a businessman after all. How could Liu Biao's nephew marry the daughter of the merchant as his wife? Don't even think about it.

But Liu Biao knew his nephew very well and knew that he had a stubborn temper. If he forcibly obstructed him, it would backfire. He then thought about it.

But today Liu Biao came, but it was not about marriage. He changed the topic and asked, "You know why I allowed you to compete with Huang She that day in Huang Mansion."

Liu Jing pondered silently, and Liu Biao smiled and said, "I am here to find you today, just to talk to you openly and honestly. If you have anything, just say it."

In fact, Liu Jing has been considering this issue. Obviously, Huang Sho's martial arts skills are higher than his own. Liu Biao should also know why he allowed Huang Sho to compete with him. If he handled it improperly and was defeated by Huang Shooter, he would not only suffer his reputation, but also lose Liu Biao's face.

Since that's the case, why did Liu Biao still allow himself to compete? After thinking about it, there is only one reason, that is, Liu Biao wants to attack Huang Zu.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Jing said slowly: "I think it should be the same reason as Zhang Yun's demotion."

It was because Zhang Yun was close to Cai Mao that he was disliked by Liu Biao and demoted to the lieutenant. Liu Jing's understanding was that Liu Biao was going to attack the aristocratic family, and it should be the Cai family.

After pondering for a while, Liu Biao smiled and said, "Let's go out for a walk."

...

There is a small river at the door of Liu Jianjing's house. Weeping willows are planted on both sides of the river. It is late spring, and willow catkins are blooming, and white catkins are floating in the sky. Although it is night, the catkins are still flying all over the sky.

However, Liu Biao and Uncle Liu didn't seem to care about these willow catkins. They walked slowly along the river. Twenty steps away, fifty guards followed from afar, staring vigilantly around.

"My deposed Zhang Yun is not entirely a blow to the Cai family. Frankly speaking, the Cai family still has more benefits than disadvantages to me now, and it is far from the time to hit them."

"That nephew really doesn't understand."

"Actually it's very simple, because I'm worried that Zhang Yun has ambitions."

Liu Biao sighed softly, "After the Youjiao incident, Zhang Yun's mother came to plead for her son every day. Because she was my own sister, she no longer had some fear. She even said that her nephew could inherit my foundation. It would be fine if she only said it once, but after she said it continuously, I doubt if this was Zhang Yun's idea."

Liu Jing was very silent, but every sentence from Liu Biao made him secretly shocked. It turned out that things were not as simple as he thought.

Liu Biao sneered and continued, "Later I tried him and allowed him to restore the Qu Department. If he was honest, I would have done it. But a few days later, the Jingzhou Arsenal was in theft, thousands of crossbows and swords were stolen, and the warehouse manager died in prison without knowing what he said. This matter made me very alert. Who did it?"

"Uncle thought it was Zhang Yun who did it." Liu Jing faintly understood.

Liu Biao nodded, "At first, I thought it was done by some official worms and stealing weapons for profit, but after the Tao family was born, I unexpectedly found out that the crossbows that framed Tao's family were the weapons stolen in the arsenal, and there were numbers on the crossbow machine. Then I realized that it was Zhang Yun's work. Of course, he would not have been stealing the sale, but should have been used to arm his private music department."

Speaking of this, Liu Biao stopped and stared at Liu Jing and said, "He actually wanted to recruit five thousand private soldiers. What do you think he is going to mean?"

"Or it's just a trend. The world's powerful people have joined forces. Who doesn't recruit thousands of family soldiers? I heard that the Cai family also has thousands of private soldiers?"

Liu Biao nodded, "You don't just cater to me, you have your own ideas, which is great."

After pausing, Liu Biao sighed again: "Actually, if his mother hadn't repeatedly said that her nephew could inherit my foundation, I wouldn't have dealt with him like this. She dared to steal weapons from the arsenal, and the next step would be to steal my country."

Liu Jing did not agree with Liu Biao's inference in his heart. He thought to himself: It only means that Liu Biao is suspicious and even his nephew can't believe it. If Zhang Yun was really ambitious, he would not be in that way towards Gan Ning.

However, it is always a comforting thing for Zhang Yun to be demoted. Liu Jing does not feel a pity for Zhang Yun. Sometimes, Liu Biao's suspicion is not a bad thing.

"Okay, let's talk about Huang Ying."
