"His Highness the King Of Shu, General Zhennan Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang is here. Governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao, come out and welcome us!" Liu Mang stood at the side. Guan Hai stepped forward and took a deep breath. His voice was loud and clear. He was surrounded by Xiangyang Guards. They didn't look like they were being escorted here. Instead, they looked like they were here to denounce them.
"Quick, quick, quick!" More and more Xiangyang Guards came and surrounded Liu Mang and the others. Guan Hai shouted again and again. The Jingzhou Army wanted to stop Guan Hai from shouting but they retreated when they saw Guan Hai's ferocious face. Guan Hai's appearance was too scary. His face was covered in scars and he looked like he had crawled back from hell.
Liu Mang looked at the entrance of Xiangyang Prison. Liu Biao must be here because there were many of Liu Biao's personal guards outside. They were Liu Biao's bodyguards.
"My Lord, what should we do if Liu Biao doesn't come out?" Guan Hai asked Liu Mang.
"He will come out!" Liu Mang didn't believe that Liu Biao wouldn't come out. Now that the outcome was clear, there was no room for reconciliation. If it wasn't for the child in Lady Cai's stomach, Liu Mang would have left Jingzhou long ago.
Now that things have reached this point, Liu Biao will definitely appear.
"Shout again!" Liu Mang said to Guan Hai.
"Yes!" Guan Hai nodded. Guan Hai's loud voice rang out again. Sure enough, Liu Biao could no longer sit still. The door of the Xiangyang prison slowly opened and Liu Biao walked out with a serious expression. His clothes were stained with blood and his face was flushed red from shame.
"My Lord, My Lord!" Huang She saw the person and immediately rushed over to Liu Biao. "My Lord, give the order to capture this traitor!"
Liu Biao walked out and his eyes met with Liu Mang's. He saw that Liu Mang was riding a horse and not being escorted. Liu Biao turned around and slapped Huang She.
"Slap!" A five-finger mark appeared on Huang She's face.
"Ah!" Huang She was stunned by Liu Biao's slap. What was going on?
"Trash!" Liu Biao said coldly to Huang She. Huang She wanted to argue, but the coldness in Liu Biao's eyes made Huang She shiver. He stood aside and didn't say anything.
"Liu Biao, you finally came out!" Liu Mang looked down at Liu Biao from his horse.
Liu Biao also looked at Liu Mang coldly. Liu Biao was a person of high status after all. He still had the feeling of being overbearing.
"How dare you, Liu Mang. Kneel down and beg for mercy when you see my Lord!" Huang She stood behind Liu Biao and said proudly. The Xiangyang guards surrounded Liu Mang and the others. Liu Biao's personal guards were also there. Huang She looked like he was going to win.
"Kneel down?" Liu Mang sneered. "According to my title, I am a marquis, the King Of Shu of the Han Dynasty. I am above thousands of people. According to my official position, I am the General Zhennan. I am in charge of Yi Province and Jing Province. Your Prefecture Overseer is also under my command. Who should kneel down to whom?" Liu Mang mocked Huang She and Liu Biao.
"General Zhennan? King Of Shu? " The Xiangyang guards on the side didn't know Liu Mang's real official position. Liu Mang didn't mention his official position when he came to Jing Province. Everyone thought that he was about the same as their Prefecture Overseer, just the Prefecture Overseer of Yangzhou. Who would have thought that Liu Mang was not only a King Of Shu, but also a General Zhennan?
"How big is the General Zhennan?" Some people didn't understand this big man's official position.
"Very big, very big!" Some people pretended to know.
"Bullsh * t. I don't know how big it is."
"The General Zhennan can already establish a prefecture. As for the General Zhennan, he can command three prefectures, namely Yi Province, Jing Province, and Liang Province." Some people explained to everyone.
"Ah ah ah, in that case, shouldn't our Prefecture Overseer be under the jurisdiction of His Highness the King Of Shu?" Some people panicked. Such a high-ranking official. Originally, the title of a prince made everyone feel that this was a great lord. Now that there was the title of General Zhennan, it made everyone unable to breathe.
"Should we put down our weapons?" Everyone was in a state of panic. If such a high-ranking official was injured, what would they do?
"Stupid, we are in Jing Province. We are receiving food from Liu Biao. Naturally, we will listen to him." Many soldiers' families were in Jing Province, so the idea that Liu Biao was their master was not deeply rooted in their minds. However, they knew that Liu Biao was the one who gave them food. They would listen to whoever gave them food.
"You are a fake King!" Liu Biao stepped forward and said to Liu Mang. "His Highness the King Of Shu is not you!" Liu Biao directly changed the concept.
"Isn't this His Highness the King Of Shu?" Some soldiers were puzzled.
"He isn't, he isn't!" Huang She shouted from the side. If Liu Biao admitted that Liu Mang was the King Of Shu, then no matter what, if Liu Biao took down Liu Mang, it would be an act of rebellion. Although the Han Dynasty was in decline, its reputation was still there. If Liu Biao's reputation was ruined, then it would be impossible to govern Jing Province. Those scholars would rarely work under a lord with a bad reputation. This was also why Lü Bu obtained Chen Gong as a strategist when he was searching for treasures. Chen Deng and his son pretended to be polite on the surface, but in reality, they were thinking of a way out. At that time, it would be Chen Gong fighting against Cao Cao and a group of strategists.
Liu Biao directly said that this wasn't the King Of Shu, but a fake one. No matter what, Liu Biao didn't directly rebel against the Han Dynasty. He would talk about other things after taking down Liu Mang.
"Haha!" Liu Mang didn't argue. If there was evidence, the King Of Shu's seal was still in his pocket. However, it was useless to take it out because Liu Biao had already shed all pretense of cordiality. Both sides had nothing to talk about.
"Liu Biao, Liu Biao, let me ask you, where is Yi 'er?" Liu Mang coldly looked at Liu Biao. After all, both sides had already shed all pretense of cordiality. At worst, they would fight. Liu Mang stayed behind because he wanted to take Lady Cai away.
"Yi 'er?" Liu Biao was stunned for a moment, but then his anger surged. "That bitch actually told you her name?" Cai Yi was a maiden name. In ancient times, women had no status. Only the rich and powerful would have a name. Even so, no one would know a woman's name after she got married.
For example, Lady Cai. Everyone only knew that she was Liu Biao's wife, but no one knew her name. No one. Even if she died in the end, she would only be known as Lady Cai. Therefore, a woman's maiden name was only known to her parents or brothers. Even husband and wife would address each other as Madam or Lord. Liu Biao only knew Cai Yi because Cai Mao had accidentally said it.
Now, that bitch actually told Liu Mang her maiden name.
"I'm telling you, that bitch is already dead!" Liu Biao looked at Liu Mang with a ferocious expression.
"Dead?" Liu Mang's eyes widened. "Impossible, impossible!"
"Look at the blood on my clothes. It's that bitch's blood." Liu Biao showed Liu Mang the blood on his clothes.
"You're asking for it!" Liu Mang's eyes turned cold, and his killing intent intensified.
"Asking for it? Haha, the one who should die this time should be you, Liu Mang! " Liu Biao did not care. There were at least three thousand people at the entrance of Xiangyang Prison. There were two thousand Xiangyang Guards and a thousand of his personal guards. Liu Mang only had three people.
"My lord, what should we do now?" Guan Hai asked Liu Mang. They were here to find Lady Cai, but now Liu Biao said that she was dead.
"Liu Mang, since you miss that bitch so much, I'll send you down to meet her!" Liu Biao said viciously. "Men, take down these three traitors. If they resist, kill them!"
"Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, if we get out of here alive, I'll definitely mobilize my troops and cause chaos in Jingzhou!" Liu Mang said coldly. If what Liu Biao said was true, that he had killed Lady Cai, and if what Xiao Cui said was true, that Lady Cai was pregnant with Liu Mang's child, then Liu Biao had killed Liu Mang's child. He had to take revenge.
"Haha, my lord, if I may be so bold, I'll definitely be the vanguard when we attack Jingzhou!" Guan Hai laughed loudly.
"Alright!" Liu Mang agreed.
"Zhou Cang, what about you?" Guan Hai asked.
"I'll go wherever Big Brother Guan goes," Zhou Cang replied foolishly.
"Then the two of us will turn Jingzhou upside down under my lord's command!" Guan Hai's cheerful voice echoed in the sky.
"Invade Jingzhou? Wait until you get back alive! Attack! "
"Kill! Kill, kill! " The first to move were Liu Biao's personal guards. They were Liu Biao's trusted subordinates and only listened to Liu Biao's orders. The Xiangyang Guards hesitated. They did not know what to do. They had received favors from Liu Mang and knew that Liu Mang was on good terms with the Cai Family and the Chu Family. If they attacked, they would be punished.
"Go, go, Xiangyang Guards. Are you going to betray the lord?" Huang She on the side shouted loudly.
"This, this!" The Xiangyang Guards had no choice. There were many nobles among them and they were all from the vicinity of Xiangyang. After all, they had to follow Liu Biao's orders if they wanted to continue working under him.
"Sorry for offending Your Highness, King Of Shu!" Many of the Xiangyang Guards cupped their fists and apologized to Liu Mang.
"We serve our own masters. There's no need to offend him!" Liu Mang was relieved.
"He's not the King Of Shu. He's a fake king!" Huang She was still jumping up and down.
However, many of the Xiangyang Guards ignored Huang She. It was fine for him to lie to the commoners, but what was the point of lying to them? Many of the leaders of the Xiangyang Guards had drunk with Liu Mang before.
"Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, follow me! Liu Biao, I want you to pay for it with your life. " The shield and axe in Liu Mang's hands were already trembling. He wanted to drink blood. He licked his lips. Today, Liu Mang had fallen from heaven to hell. When Xiao Cui told Liu Mang that she had a son, Liu Mang didn't know why, but every cell in his body was excited. He was going to be a father, he was going to be a father. This kind of excitement was not ordinary. Therefore, Liu Mang risked his life to find Liu Biao. However, Liu Biao actually said that he had killed Yi 'er. This was equivalent to killing Liu Mang's child. Liu Mang's eyes turned red. "Kill!"
"Yes!"
…
"Master, Master, bad news, bad news! His Highness the King Of Shu and the Prefecture Overseer are fighting near Xiangyang's prison! "A messenger ran to the Zhou Family and shouted to the two Zhou Family members.
"Fighting?" Kuai Liang couldn't help but stand up. "Why are they fighting? Didn't they let him escape?" The guard at the south gate was a disciple of the Zhou Family. It could be said that the Zhou Family took the risk of being discovered to inform Liu Mang so that Liu Mang could leave. Why would they fight?
"Master, someone did pass through the south gate, but it wasn't His Highness the King Of Shu. He only saw His Highness the King Of Shu's subordinate, Jia Xu, and some of his family members!" The messenger said helplessly. "His Highness the King Of Shu and two of his personal guards went to see the Prefecture Overseer!"
"Ah, ah, ah, damn it, damn it!" Kuai Liang was so angry that he almost jumped up. "He's muddle-headed, muddle-headed!" Kuai Liang was so anxious that he jumped up and down. "No, no, I have to save him!" Kuai Liang couldn't help but leave for Xiangyang's prison.
"Come back!" Kuai Yue suddenly shouted. "What's the use of you going now? Are you going to add a soul for no reason? " There was no use in going to Xiangyang's prison now. There was a fight there. If he wasn't careful, a scholar like Kuai Liang might die there.
"What can I do? Am I supposed to just watch him die there? " Kuai Liang was so anxious that his eyes were bloodshot. Initially, Kuai Liang liked Liu Mang because of his friendship with Yang Hong. Later on, he admired Liu Mang's talent. Later on, the two of them interacted. Because of Kuai Ran, Kuai Liang also treated Liu Mang as his nephew. Now that his nephew was about to die, how could he not be anxious?
"Hm?" Kuai Yue frowned.
"Father, father!" At this moment, Kuai Ran came out from the backyard. "Father, I heard that Brother Liu Mang was arrested by the Prefecture Overseer?" When Huang She sent people to the King Of Shu's residence to arrest Liu Mang, it caused quite a commotion.
Kuai Ran naturally knew about it. He and Liu Mang could be considered sworn brothers. He was also Liu Mang's brother-in-law. Now that his brother was in trouble, he naturally felt bad. Hence, he hurriedly came to find his father.
"Father, father, is there a misunderstanding? Didn't the Prefecture Overseer just form an alliance with Brother? How did this happen? That Huang She, that Huang She, it's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, Brother wouldn't have offended the Huang Family! " Kuai Ran blamed himself. He felt that Liu Mang had offended the Huang Family and the Huang Family had slandered him. One of the reasons was because Liu Mang had helped him in the brothel.
"It has nothing to do with you!" Kuai Yue waved his hand. He also had a headache. If it was just the Huang Family's slandering, he wouldn't have cared. However, Liu Mang had slept with Liu Biao's wife.
"Sister Cai?" Kuai Ran heard his father's words. "Ah, this Brother and Sister Cai?" Kuai Ran naturally knew Cai Yi because they were about the same age. When they were young, they played together. However, after Lady Cai married Liu Biao, they stopped interacting with each other.
"The two of them?" Kuai Ran was stunned for a moment. However, he subconsciously nodded. They were quite compatible. Brother was tall and handsome while Sister Cai was like a goddess.
"Compatible your head!" Kuai Liang slapped Kuai Ran's head.
"Second Uncle! It hurts! "Kuai Ran rubbed his head unwillingly. This was his second uncle. He couldn't fight back.
"Brother, quickly think of a way!" Kuai Liang shouted anxiously at Kuai Yue.
"Yes, yes. Father, quickly think of a way!" Kuai Ran was also anxious.
"There's no other way!" Kuai Yue gritted his teeth. "Follow me! Inform everyone that the Kuai Family will not receive any guests! "Kuai Yue led Kuai Liang and his son away.
"Father, why did you bring us here?" Kuai Ran looked at his father curiously. Kuai Yue had brought them to an ice cellar. The temperature inside was very low.
"Don't speak if you don't understand! Could it be that this is …? " Kuai Liang asked his brother as they walked. This was an ice cellar. However, after several turns, they had entered a tunnel.
"That's right. This is the underground tunnel of Xiangyang," Kuai Yue explained to the two of them.
"Father, why didn't I know about it before?" Kuai Ran asked curiously.
"Nonsense. Who would use it unless it was an emergency?" Kuai Yue was a little uncomfortable because this tunnel was indeed used by the Kuai Family for emergencies. It led to four directions. The first was outside the city. If they walked all the way through the longest tunnel, they would reach the outside of Xiangyang City. The second tunnel led to Xiangyang City's prison. This was so that if the Kuai Family was at the end of their rope, they could use this tunnel to rescue their family members. After that, they could take the longest tunnel out of Xiangyang City. One of the remaining two tunnels led to the Prefecture Overseer's residence, while the other led to the Cai Family.
"To the Prefecture Overseer's residence?" Kuai Ran didn't understand.
"If there's a banquet at the Prefecture Overseer's residence, we can escape from there."
"What about the Cai Family?" Kuai Ran asked again.
"This is also why your father has always been in an alliance with the Cai Family. This tunnel was dug by the Cai Family and the Kuai Family together. No matter which family is in trouble, this tunnel will not be able to be sealed!" Kuai Yue explained to his son.
"So where are we going now?"
"To your Uncle Cai's house!" Kuai Yue said. "Only your Uncle Cai knows how to save your eldest brother!" Kuai Yue said. The three of them took a torch and followed the tunnel to the Cai Family's residence. Fortunately, the tunnel wasn't too long. The Cai Family and the Kuai Family's residences were in the inner city of Xiangyang, so they arrived at the Cai Family's residence in a few minutes.
