In the Cai Family's residence, Cai Mao walked back and forth. A few of the main members of the Cai Family were outside. This incident had happened too suddenly, so Cai Mao could only rely on the shadow guards to contact them. With Lord Liu Biao's men outside, Cai Mao couldn't go out. Relying on the shadow guards was too slow.
"Master, Master, Kuai Biao requests an audience!" The housekeeper walked in and shouted at Cai Mao.
"No, no, I'm not seeing anyone!" Cai Mao subconsciously shouted. At this time, the Cai Family's survival was at stake, so Cai Mao naturally wasn't in the mood to see anyone.
"Ah?" The housekeeper was stunned. "Master, Master, it's Master Kuai!"
"Master Kuai? Xeno is here? "Cai Mao finally reacted." Quick, invite him in. Quick, invite him in! "
"Yes!" The housekeeper left and the Kuai Family quickly arrived at Cai Mao's room.
"Pass down the order that I won't see anyone. Guard the door!" Cai Mao ordered.
"Brother Yidu, you're finally here!" Cai Mao looked at Kuai Yue as if he had seen a relative. He pulled Kuai Yue to a stool in the room. "Come, come, come. Have some tea!"
"Why are we drinking tea? We're in a pinch," Kuai Liang complained.
"Zirou is here too?" Cai Mao was only concerned about Kuai Yue.
"Uncle Cai, I'm here too!" Kuai Ran cupped his fists towards Cai Mao.
"Brother Yidu, where did you come from? Wasn't my door sealed by that brat Huang She?" Cai Mao asked.
"Desi, we didn't enter through the door. We entered through the notice!" Kuai Yue explained.
"Is it time to use that passage?" Cai Mao gritted his teeth. The passage was a collaboration between the Cai Family and the Kuai Family. It was used in times of emergency. It was to the extent of extermination.
"The current situation doesn't allow us to not use it." Kuai Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head. Madam Cai had been captured and Cai Mao was under house arrest. Now that Liu Biao was dealing with the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, the Cai Family might be in trouble. "Is there any news about your sister?" Kuai Yue asked.
"It's all that King Of Shu's fault, Liu Mang!" Cai Mao was furious at the mention of his sister. He didn't have any news about his sister. He only knew that his sister had been locked up in Xiangyang Prison by Liu Biao. If it weren't for the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, his sister wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Brother Desi, do you think that your sister and His Highness the King Of Shu are such licentious people?" Kuai Yue took a sip of tea and asked Cai Mao.
"Hmph, I don't know about that King Of Shu, Liu Mang, but my sister is definitely not that kind of person!" Cai Mao had confidence in his younger sister. Back then, for the sake of the Cai Family, Cai Yi had sacrificed her most precious youth. How could she be a dissolute person?
"Could it be that His Highness the King of Shu is such a person?" Kuai Liang argued with Cai Mao indignantly.
"Who knows!" Cai Mao said from the side.
"You!" Kuai Liang was rendered speechless by the words of wealth and trade.
"His Highness the King Of Shu isn't that kind of person either. There was a barbarian princess in the brothel who was quite beautiful, but His Highness the King Of Shu wasn't moved either." Kuai Yue tried to mediate.
"Hmph!" Cai Pa coldly snorted. He remembered that when Liu Mang went to the banquet, the other nobles were holding the dancers and wished they could bring them back at night. However, Liu Mang was the only one who did that. At most, he would play around and in the end, he decided not to bring anyone back. The dancers that were brought out to entertain Liu Mang must be of high quality. All of them were virgins. From this, it could be seen that the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, wasn't a lecherous person either.
If Liu Mang knew about Cai Mao's evaluation of him, he would definitely thank them. If it wasn't for the tigress at home, Liu Mang would have already pounced on her.
"These two aren't licentious people, so why did they end up like this?"
"Could it be that they were in love? Love at first sight? "Kuai Ran interrupted.
"Bullshit! How could my sister fall for him? "Cai Mao's face darkened.
"How is His Highness the King Of Shu not worthy of your sister?" Kuai Liang cursed.
"Stop arguing!" Kuai Yue felt a headache coming. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have brought his brother and son along.
"Neither of them are dissolute people. For things to turn out this way, there must be someone behind it!" Kuai Ran explained.
"Do you still remember the Jingshan Courtyard three months ago?" Kuai Ran asked Cai Mao. Of course, Cai Mao remembered. That was the first time Liu Biao had been angry at Cai Mao and the others. He had even led his troops to Jingshan Mountain.
"It was at that time that His Highness the King Of Shu and your sister fell into a trap!" Kuai Yue explained. At that time, someone had killed Liu Biao's guards, causing Liu Biao to be furious.
"But she didn't tell me!"
"How could you say that?" Kuai Yue said. "Do you still remember that after this incident, His Highness the King Of Shu and your sister dealt with the same person?"
"Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan!" Cai Mao remembered that immediately after that day, Liu Mang's subordinates and Lady Cai had asked him to deal with Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan. He had thought that his sister and the King Of Shu had reached an agreement. Now, it seemed like they were enemies.
"Then how did Huang She appear?" Huang She played a large role in this. He was the one who had slandered the King Of Shu.
"I'm not sure either. Perhaps something happened that caused Huang She to discover this matter!" Kuai Yue was indeed an intelligent person. He was able to make a rough guess.
"Now is not the time to reminisce. We have to think of a way to save your sister and His Highness the King Of Shu." Kuai Liang was anxious.
"Desi, tell me. Is the Xiangyang Navy still in your hands?" Kuai Yue asked.
"I was locked up in the residence by Huang She. I asked the Shadow Guards to send a message to Zhang Yun and the Xiangyang Navy. Tell them that they are training." Cai Mao said.
"Good!" Kuai Yue finally smiled. "I knew that you wouldn't just sit there and wait for your death."
The Xiangyang Navy had more than thirty thousand people. They were completely under Cai Mao's control. If they were close to the shore, they would be held hostage by Liu Biao. However, if they were not close to the shore and Zhang Yun was still there, the thirty thousand people were Cai Mao's trump card.
"What about the Xiangyang Guard?" There were four types of troops in Xiangyang City. The first was the Xiangyang Navy, which was now under Cai Mao's control. The thirty thousand people were considered the largest force. The second was the Xiangyang Guard, which was made up of nobles. There were five thousand people in the Xiangyang Guard.
"The Xiangyang Guard. If Guorou Desi were to appear, most of the Xiangyang Guard would be in our hands!" Kuai Liang used to be a high-ranking official in the Xiangyang Guard. More than half of the Xiangyang Guard were nobles from the Cai Family and the Kuai Family.
The third was the Xiangyang Guard. The Xiangyang Guard was no longer under Cai Mao's control. It was under the command of the Huang Family. There were thirty thousand of them. The last one was Liu Biao's personal guards. Although there were only a thousand of them, they weren't weak. Liu Mang was a Marquis in the army. Due to his good performance, he was assigned to the personal guards by Liu Biao.
One had to know that Wen Pin and the others were all part of his personal guards.
"Yidu, what do you mean?" Cai Mao asked.
"If it comes to the last step, then this is the only way!" Although Kuai Yue was a scholar, he could be vicious. Even a general would be afraid of him.
"Father, what does this have to do with saving brother?" Kuai Ran asked.
"Of course it has something to do with it. However, your brother will have to suffer a little." Kuai Yue replied. He couldn't save Liu Mang right now. Liu Biao had brought his personal guards and they wouldn't listen to Kuai Ran. The Xiangyang Navy was cruising in the Yangtze River. Only the Xiangyang Guard could be mobilized. The Xiangyang Guard couldn't be completely trusted as there were people from the Huang Family among them.
As long as Liu Biao didn't kill Liu Mang on the spot, Kuai Yue could take action. Liu Biao would definitely put Liu Mang in two places. One was Xiangyang Prison and the other was the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion. Both places could be accessed through the tunnels.
"Wow, father, are you going to submit to my brother?" Kuai Ran was excited. If he submitted to Yangzhou, he would be able to work under his brother, Liu Mang.
"No!" Kuai Yue shook his head. The Kuai Family and Cai Family couldn't bear the reputation of killing their master.
Kuai Yue only wanted to save the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, and Lady Cai so that the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, could return to Yangzhou. If possible, he wanted to send Lady Cai out as well.
This way, Liu Biao wouldn't do anything to the Kuai Family and Cai Family for the sake of Jingzhou's stability. In the end, he would just say that Lady Cai had died of illness. In the end, Liu Biao could only leave Jingzhou to Liu Zong and Liu Qi. Cai Mao was Liu Zong's uncle, so what about Liu Qi? Liu Biao was already serving in Yangzhou. No matter what the result was, Liu Biao could only swallow this bitter fruit.
However, this was on the premise that Liu Biao didn't kill Liu Mang. If Liu Biao killed Liu Mang after capturing Liu Mang, then everything Kuai Yue said would be useless. Yangzhou would definitely go to war with Jingzhou. Both Yangzhou and Jingzhou would view the Cai Family and Kuai Family as thorns in their eyes.
"Is there no other way?"
"This is the last way!"
