Seeing Zhao Yu secretly holding Liu Cong up, Liu Bei on the opposite side couldn't sit still anymore, and interjected with a cold snort: "Hmph, loving the people like a son and giving money is just a face-to-face effort, this is a show, a manly husband should protect his family and defend the country, and a show is a woman's business." ”"What Uncle Huang said is true, Zhao Yu is also very agreeable, a manly husband should fight on the battlefield to protect his family and defend the country, but if you can't even solve your own internal affairs, how can you solve the external affairs Imagine those soldiers in Jingzhou who are fighting with their lives outside and defending Jingzhou with dignity If they learn that their families are so cared for and loved by the lord and the second son, then the morale will rise several times, and everyone will leave behind the emotions of homesickness and fight wholeheartedly, and the combat power will be incomparable."
Zhao Yu's words were agreed by everyone present, even the arrogant Liu Guanzhang and Liu Qi also acquiesced in their hearts, and afterwards Zhao Yu then said to Liu Biao: "Lord Zhou Mu, Zhao Yu is here to show that although I have the intention to form an alliance with Jingzhou, it also depends on the relationship between the two sides.If the second son, Liu Cong, succeeds as the pastor of Jingzhou in the future, I, Zhao Yu, am willing to be allies with Jingzhou forever, and even become inseparable allies for generations.Especially if I want to expand my territory in the future, I am willing to join hands with the second son to fight the world in the south and the north, and raise the name of Jingzhou soldiers. ”Zhao Yu's words immediately exploded in the hall, and the two sides formed a great contrast in the venue.Although Zhao Yu did not publicly support Liu Biao to let Liu Cong inherit the heir, it showed that if Liu Cong was the pastor of Jingzhou in the future, he would be willing to be good for generations and would be more willing to open up the territory together.This is equivalent to the election of Jingzhou Mu to announce the succession of the heir, but Zhao Yu handled it well and said it beautifully, without tearing his face by name in public, but anyone can hear the meaning.Although this is an alliance with Jingzhou, it is actually an alliance with Liu Cong by name, although Liu Qi and Liu Bei and others are angry, but no one stands up to refute it.The reason is that they do not have enough conditions and abilities for Liu Biao to refuse to form an alliance with Zhao Yu, if it is for the interests of Jingzhou, an alliance with the strong must be a great thing."
Lord Zhao's words this time made Liu suddenly brightened, like a cloud seeing the sky, Lord Zhao's words, I will seriously consider it, this time is a rare meeting, let's do it again."
Liu Biao raised the wine glass in front of him again as he spoke, saluting Zhao Yu and the others in the audience, and the implication seemed to be deliberately avoiding or crossing this topic, so it seems that Zhao Yu's words are very influential to Liu Biao.The next banquet was not as lively as before, because Liu Biao listened to Zhao Yu's words, the whole banquet has been intoxicated and thinking, and the previous joyful atmosphere has long been gone.After a long period of drinking, singing and dancing, most of the people present were in a state of semi-drunkenness, and Zhao Yu, Guo Jia and others were afraid that they would encounter another sneak attack in a foreign land, so they did not drink greedily, but changed the tea after a few drinks.Before the banquet ended, Liu Biao was already drunk into a puddle of soft mud, and was helped by the left and right hands behind him to stop moving, and then after Mrs.
Cai's reception, the people present did not stay long before they dispersed.And Zhao Yu and the others also stayed until very late before leading everyone to leave, before leaving, Mrs.
Cai specially instructed Liu Cong to arrange a carriage to escort Zhao Yu and others, and after returning to the original residence arranged by Mrs.
Cai, everyone's hearts settled down slightly.Although I would be worried that Liu Guanzhang or Liu Qi would send someone to assassinate and sneak attack, but now that Dian Wei and Gan Ning were present and took turns to keep vigil, they could also count the words of one Zhu Ying and three people.Then the others can rest with peace of mind, but Zhao Yu thinks that these worries may be a little too much, after all, this is Jingzhou or Liu Biao's territory, and the master behind the scenes is the Cai family, no matter how arrogant and bold Liu Guanzhang is, he doesn't dare to send someone to sneak attack.What's more, Mrs.
Cai's mind will definitely be worried about the safety of these people, and she will definitely send a large number of people to guard, until late at night, watching the sergeants outside patrolling back and forth with torches in their hands, which also confirms Zhao Yu's guess.After a night's rest, at dawn the next day, Zhao Yu and others got up early, and before breakfast was over, Mrs.
Cai, Liu Cong and Cai Mao came to greet them.As soon as she saw Zhao Yu, Mrs.
Cai walked quickly and bowed her head slightly: "Lord Zhao rested well last night" "Mrs.
To's blessing, I slept very peacefully last night." ”I don't know why Zhao Yu didn't know what to say to Mrs.
Cai this time, maybe because there were many outsiders around."
Lord Zhao, my mother and uncle and I are here this time to express our gratitude for speaking for Liu Cong at the banquet last night.I know that the adults will be returning in a few days, and there are too many heavy things for the adults to carry, and these things are a little care for me and my mother, so please be sure to accept them. ”As Liu Cong spoke, he took a brocade box from the hands of the subordinates behind him, and presented his hands to Zhao Yu respectfully.Let's not look at how valuable the items in the brocade box are, but the gorgeous brocade box has already allowed Zhao Yu to roughly guess the value of the things in the box, which is a special vermilion brocade box.The exterior of the brocade box is made of a seemingly high-end flannel, Zhao Yu does not know the material of the flannel, but if you really want to make a comparison, the flannel is the same material as the holy decree seen in Xuchang before, but the color is different.Presumably, only the Cai family can afford such a box in the entire Jingzhou.Facing the brocade box handed over by Liu Cong, Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment and did not reach out to take it, but said to Mrs.
Cai on the side: "Madame has this intention, Zhao Yu is really grateful, the fact of yesterday is that Zhao Yu is not enough to worry about the effort, this gift is too valuable, Zhao Yu can't accept it." ”Perhaps having guessed Zhao Yu's actions, Mrs.
Cai said quietly: "If the adults don't accept it, they must be disgusted that the gift given by Mrs.
Ben is too light and not enough to enter the eyes of adults." ”Seeing this, Zhao Yu hurriedly apologized and explained: "Madame, don't be mistaken for Zhao Yu's meaning, this gift is too valuable, and it is really Zhao Yu's duty to help Madame yesterday."
Besides, Zhao Yu can't repay the kindness of the Jingzhou soldiers who led the Jingzhou soldiers to save our lives, and the two cancel each other out, so it should be Zhao Yu to express his gratitude to his wife. ”Mrs.
Cai suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Then what you said at the banquet yesterday is true, you are really willing to be an ally with me Jingzhou and my Cong'er for generations" Zhao Yu immediately said very seriously: "This is natural, Zhao Yu has always been the same when he speaks, as long as the second son becomes the pastor of Jingzhou in the future, I Zhao Yu and my generals will become allies with the second son for generations."
But if it were Liu Qi, I, Zhao Yu, would be the first to stand up and attack Jingzhou, attack Liu Qi, and snatch the throne of Jingzhou for the second son. ”This short sentence made Liu Cong and Cai Mao on the side snickered again, if they could really get the support of him Zhao Yu, Liu Cong, the position of Jingzhou pastor, could be regarded as fixed.Even if there is any accident in the future, it will not matter if there is a strong ally like him, and Mrs.
Cai is also happy, but there is no trace of joy in her expression, and what she shows is only a flat expression.After a while, Mrs.
Cai said to the two beside her: "You all stand down first, go outside and wait for me, no one is allowed to enter without my order, including you." ”"Yes."
Although I don't know what Mrs.
Cai is going to do, but obviously her order is equivalent to a military order, Liu Cong and Cai Mao listened to it, and they didn't dare to stay for a moment and led people directly outside, leaving only Zhao Yu and Mrs.
Cai in the entire small garden, looking at each other.After feeling that the people around her were retreating, the expression on Mrs.
Cai's face suddenly seemed to be melting ice and snow, and a trace of tenderness appeared and said to Zhao Yuying: "Hold me." ”Although any normal man has no resistance in the face of such a naked temptation, for the sake of the overall situation, Zhao Yu still couldn't help but say: "In broad daylight, if I do this, I'm afraid it will be bad for Mrs. to be seen by others." ”"Hmph, you don't have to worry about this, think about what I said in Jingzhou, except for that person, no one dares to disobey, I want you to hold me now."
Mrs.
Cai pretended to be angry, but when she saw that Zhao Yu still didn't move, Mrs.
Cai suddenly threw herself into Zhao Yu's arms like a willful little girl, and hugged Zhao Yu's waist with both hands, without the previous image of being rich and noble, cold and dignified."
Can you stay in Jingzhou for two more days" Mrs.
Cai, as the first strong woman in Jingzhou, said softly in Zhao Yu's arms at the moment, looking very much like a little woman who was just beginning to fall in love.How could Zhao Yu not understand her thoughts, and deliberately sighed lightly to express his helplessness: "You know that I have been out for several months this time, and I have never taken care of the affairs of my family.Now that the times are in turmoil and strife, the outside world is very unstable, and the princes from all over the world are eyeing my Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou, so it's time for me to go back and deal with affairs. ”Zhao Yu's voice lagged behind, and Mrs.
Cai hugged his hands tighter and said: "It's just a farewell today, I don't know when we will meet again, Jingzhou is also a strategic place, I don't know how many people from the outside world are peeping."
Liu Biao is incompetent, and I know the ability of Sergeant Jingzhou best, I am afraid that if you leave, I will never have the opportunity to meet you again in my life. ”Mrs.
Cai's emotional crying made Zhao Yu feel quite unbearable when he heard it, but he had a heavy responsibility, and his parents, wife and children were looking forward to it, although he was a little reluctant to this Mrs.
Cai in his arms.But weighing the severity, how can he be here to have a long relationship with his children, he took out a free hand and gently stroked Mrs.
Cai's hair and said, "Little fool, don't talk nonsense, how can we not have a chance to meet."
When one day I personally lead the army to conquer the south and the north to dominate the world, then we can naturally be together openly, what's not bad":
