Two days later, Liu Jing finally returned to Xiangyang City. He and his entourage went to the north pier of the city first. When they learned that Liu Bei's fleet had not returned yet, they took out a ingot of five taels of gold to the entourage and smiled at him, "Thank you for your hard work, you can go home first, please accept the money. It's my little intention, and buy something for your wife, children and parents."

The follower's home was in Fancheng on the other side of the Han River. He couldn't refuse, so he accepted the gold with gratitude and bid farewell and left.

Liu Jing kept looking at him and went to the dock, then turned his horse and ran towards the city gate. As soon as he headed north, he rode his horse away. He was also a little tired and prepared to go back to his mansion to have a good sleep before going to work as an uncle Liu Biao.

Liu Jing's war horse ran briskly. It was noon. The open spaces on both sides of the official road outside the North City were filled with various stalls, people came and went, and business was booming.

There are several taverns and hostels not far away, and you can vaguely hear the laughter and noise coming from the tavern. The most famous Wangjiang Tavern in Xiangyang City is located at the northmost point.

The defense of Xiangyang City is very tight. Outside the North City, there is a urn city first, and after passing through the urn city, it is the real inner city, with nearly a thousand soldiers guarding the North City Gate.

Although the city was well defended, the soldiers were not attentive. Dozens of city guards were lazily gathered to rest by the city walls. Several soldiers looked at the pedestrians entering and leaving. Generally, they just asked the pedestrians. Only when they saw suspicious people would they stop and investigate.

At this moment, the soldiers' eyes lit up almost at the same time, "Look," someone shouted softly, "That horse"

The soldiers all saw a war horse that was solemn and horse was running slowly towards the city gate, and the person on the horse seemed to be an officer.

At this time, as long as the officers who are not under the leadership of Eguan, the soldiers will not take officers without followers seriously.

Dozens of soldiers were excited and rushed up to surround Liu Jing's war horses. Instead of provoking to stop him, they squeezed on both sides of the road and pointed at the war horses.

"What a good horse, it's a bit more majestic than the head of the yellow-hoofed lion in Military Advisor Cai."

"Mr. Cai's horse is far from comparable to that of Mr. Zhou Mu. I think the wind-chasing dragon horse is also inferior."

As he was talking, someone recognized the owner of the war horse and exclaimed in a low voice: "Isn't this Jing Gong?"

"Who is Gong Jing?"

"Mr. Jing Gong doesn't know who defeated Cai Jin last time, have you forgotten?"

"So it's him, the nephew of the governor of the state."

Recognizing Liu Jing, several soldiers who wanted to come forward to chat with him were so scared that they stepped back. Liu Jing smiled and urged the horse to leave. Everyone had to watch the majestic war horse galloping into the city gate.

Liu Jing had already gotten used to these envious comments as soon as he got on. He also realized that this war horse would cause him a little trouble, and hoped that it would be just a little trouble.

As soon as I entered the urn city, someone suddenly shouted behind me: "The Jinfan thief is here."

I saw countless vendors who set up stalls outside the city selling vegetables and groceries, all of whom were extremely frightened, stumbled in from outside the city, rushing to flock in, and that was like a hawker in later generations encountered law enforcement.

The word "Jinfan Thief" aroused Liu Jing's great interest. He immediately turned his horse's head, clamped his legs gently, and the war horse ran out of the city again.

Outside the North City, it was originally a lively place, selling fish and vegetables, various groceries in the north and south, with stalls, taverns and two hostels.

Cai Zhongxin's murderous intent suddenly arose, and it was delivered to him. How could he let go of this opportunity? But he also knew in his heart that Gan Ning was very skilled in martial arts and had weapons in his hand. Hasteful attacks would cause this person to run away. He needed to use a trick to coax him into the city first...

Thinking of this, Cai Zhong smiled, "It turns out that Brother Gan is here to defect to the provincial governor and return to justice. This is a good thing."

He turned around and ordered his men to "put down the bow and arrow"

The soldiers slowly put down the bow and arrow in their hands. Cai Zhong quickly walked down the city gate and left the city gate. He bowed deeply, smiled, revealed two golden front teeth, and said with great sincerity: "Brother Gan is a hero among the people and is willing to seek refuge in the prefecture. This is a great joy for the Jingzhou army. Then I, Cai Zhong, should take my job as a dog and horse. I am willing to take my brother Gan to see the prefecture. Please follow me into the city."

.........

Liu Jing could hear it clearly. It was indeed Gan Ning. At this time, more and more people were coming up next to him. Liu Jing heard people whispering around him.

"This Jinfan thief is going to be unlucky. He actually met Cai Zhong. Cai Zhong was defeated by him back then. How could he forgive him today?"

"No, Gan Xingba is here to surrender to the provincial governor. Cai Zhong dares to kill him."

"Hmph, what's wrong with the Cai family? The governor of the state will not offend the Cai family for Gan Ning."

.........

Liu Jing was secretly surprised. Today was a little trouble. If Gan Ning couldn't keep it, he would definitely go to Dongwu. But the problem now is that Cai Zhong seemed to take the opportunity to kill someone.

Although Liu Jing is Liu Biao's nephew, he is still slight at this time. Cai Zhong may not be willing to listen to him. Now, only Liu Biao can save the situation by himself. However, if he invites Liu Biao, it will take at least half an hour. By then, the daylily will be cold. What should I do?

Liu Jing was very anxious, but he had no choice but to do anything for the moment.

Gan Ning sneered, he was not a year old, what was Cai Zhong's intention? Of course, he understood that since he had expressed his opinion that he wanted to surrender to Liu Biao, he had to meet him in person to relieve his past grudges to ensure his safety. If Liu Biao did not even have this kind of mind or sincerity, he had no choice but to surrender to Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu.

Gan Ning smiled faintly, "Thank you for your kindness, General Cai. I, Gan Ning, came from all the way to the visit. I just hope that the governor of the state can meet you and meet at the north gate. Please tell General Cai to tell the governor of the state that Gan Ning is waiting for his great deportation here."

"presumptuous"

Cai Zhong was furious, "What a status of the governor of the state? How could he come to welcome you, a thief in the river? Since you don't know how to politely, don't blame me for being rude."

Cai Zhong waved his hand, and the remaining soldiers rushed up behind him, surrounding Gan Ning, and aimed a crossbow at Gan Ning forward, backward and left and right.

Gan Ning's men were shocked and drew their swords to rush forward, but Gan Ning waved his hand and stopped them. He kept silent and sneered, "Is this the way to entertain guests in Jingzhou?"

Cai Zhong raised his head and laughed, "If you have you in heaven, you won't leave, there is no door underground, Gan Xingba, today is the day you give me, please die."

He was about to issue an order to shoot arrows, but Gan Ning held his halberds tightly and was about to explode. At this moment when he was about to break out, a loud shout came: "The governor of the state has an order"
