Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 361: Changes in Jingzhou, Death of Liu Biao

Late at night, in a room inside the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, four people were planning a plan that would overturn the entire Jingzhou situation.

"If you ask me, it must be that big-eared thief Liu Bei who said something to my uncle. Otherwise, why would my uncle change his mind immediately? He didn't want to make Brother Cong the crown prince, but wanted to make that idiot the crown prince. I really don't understand."

Zhang Yun fiddled with two crystal clear white jades in his hands. There was a little red in the middle of the white jade. Wrapped in the white jade, a touch of bright red added a bit of charm to the entire piece of white jade.

"Why Liu Bei?"

Liu Cong asked curiously. There was a beautiful girl sitting in his arms, but the beautiful girl didn't respond to what the others said, as if she was deaf.

"Before my uncle appointed that idiot as the crown prince, Liu Bei was the only one who was alone with my uncle for a period of time. After he came out, his attitude changed drastically. Who else could it be but Liu Bei?"

Zhang Yun banged the table angrily, as if he wanted to eat Gu Rubing.

"Alright, alright, keep your voice down. Are you going to lure everyone here?"

Cai said with some displeasure, frowning, then turned around and slapped her son next to her.

"Look at yourself, what can you achieve!"

"Okay, I called you here to discuss business, not to curse or smash tables."

Cai Mao finally spoke up and stopped the few people.

"This afternoon, my brother-in-law was clearly ill. It should be the carbuncle on his back that broke out. Logically, my brother-in-law should be in excruciating pain and at least unable to get out of bed for a whole day. How come he was able to get out of bed in less than a quarter of an hour, and he was still full of energy?"

Eating too much rich and greasy food, and then catching a cold. This was the prescription Cai Mao asked for from an imperial physician. There was no way it could be wrong.

Liu Cong, who was slapped by his mother Cai, was now burying his head in the chest of the beautiful lady in his arms, sucking greedily. After hearing Cai Mao's words, Liu Cong raised his head in the magnificent scene.

"Could it be that Liu Bei saved my father?"

"Liu Bei saved him? How? According to the imperial physician, once the abscess ruptures in the second stage, even a god cannot save him. How could Liu Bei save him?"

Cai Mao said with some doubt. Although he didn't dare to believe it, it seemed that this was the only way to explain it. However, soon, Liu Cong's words made Cai Mao completely reject the idea of ​​this character, and he felt a little regretful. He had nothing to do but listen to the advice of a fool, and he himself became a little stupid.

I only heard Liu Cong say this in a decisive tone.

"It must be Liu Bei! In addition to being the governor of Qingzhou, he is also a contemporary miracle doctor, so he was able to save my father."

The other three people present all held their foreheads and ignored him after hearing what he said. However, Liu Cong was not giving up and continued.

"Even if Liu Bei is not a miracle doctor, he could be the one who stopped us today! Or someone among his followers must be a miracle doctor."

The three of them rolled their eyes in tacit understanding and ignored Liu Cong. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Liu Cong did not get angry. He just shrugged his shoulders and returned to the land of gentleness.

"No matter what, we must make my brother-in-law change the order to make Liu Qi the crown prince. As long as he changes the order, we will immediately increase the dosage of the medicine and send him to heaven!"

Cai Mao seemed to have made up his mind, and Zhang Yun spoke at the right time.

"What if uncle refuses to change? What should I do?"

"Then let's send my brother-in-law away first, and then change it ourselves!"

Cai Mao was filled with murderous intent at this moment. His originally foolproof plan was about to be completed, but something unexpected happened, which changed everything.

"Sister, give him more good food these days. If he really dares to disobey, why not kill him? Aren't there outsiders here? These outsiders are here to take the blame."

The four people walked out of the room one after another, and the fire in the room went out. The small house, which was bustling just now, became quiet.

After everyone had gone far away, a figure appeared in the shadows, jumped onto the roof in a few seconds, and left along the ridge.

In Gu Rubing's room, a figure quickly passed by the window, and then several pieces of paper were passed in through the gap in the window. Taishi Ci picked up the paper and handed it to Gu Rubing. Gu Rubing took a quick glance at it. It recorded everything the four people said and did in the room tonight.

As for that figure, he was naturally sent by Gu Rubing, responsible for monitoring and recording Cai Mao and others. Besides him, there were several other people who kept a close eye on them.

Gu Rubing placed the note on the fire and lit it. Ashes flew in the air along with the flames. Gu Rubing's resolute face was reflected on the live broadcast screen through the firelight.

In the next few days, Liu Biao took Gu Rubing to stroll around Jingzhou. He did not look sick at all. Only Gu Rubing knew that he was just relying on the herbal patches that he had given him. In the past few days, three more abscesses on Liu Biao's back had burst.

The largest one, which was the one that broke open at the beginning, was almost as big as a baby's fist, and the others were only the size of a thumb. The herbal patches brought by Gu Rubing had been used up. If Liu Biao got sick again, he would have no choice but to wait for death. Even if the carbuncle on his back did not take his life, he would be killed by the pain.

Over the past few days, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others have never given up persecuting Liu Biao and have continuously sent him some supplements. However, Liu Biao, who knew their real purpose, would reject them every time and sometimes even beat and scold them.

At the same time, Liu Biao also discovered that Liu Qi was not as bad as Cai Shi and Cai Mao said, but was quite talented. He was good at some policy discussions and was sympathetic to the people. He also knew that the flood in Lingling County was resolved by Liu Qi, not Liu Cong, and that Liu Cong was just claiming the credit.

With various supports, Liu Biao became more and more optimistic about his eldest son Liu Qi. As for Liu Cong, he was simply unbearable to look at. Liu Biao even suspected that he was blind before, or he was stupid at that time, to actually want to hand over Jingzhou to such a person.

Under pressure from Liu Biao, Cai Mao and the other three finally couldn't bear it anymore. If they continued like this, Liu Qi would probably really secure the position of the crown prince. Then when Liu Biao passed away, Liu Qi would directly inherit the position of the Governor of Jingzhou. At that time, it would be their turn to worry.

It was still the same room, and the four of them gathered here again late at night. This time was different from the last time. Everyone had a solemn expression. Even Liu Cong, who had always been carefree, no longer acted rashly. The beautiful girl in his arms was replaced by a white cat.

"We can't wait any longer. If we wait another two days, Liu Qi will become the governor of Jingzhou! Or we can just kill that idiot!"

Zhang Yun still had a hot temper. In the past few days, he had wanted to see Liu Biao many times, but was rejected every time. Not only him, but also the good things sent by Cai Mao were either smashed by Liu Biao or given to his subordinates. There was also Cai Shi. In the past week, Liu Biao would sleep with Cai Shi at least five or six days, but in the past few days, even if Cai Shi tried her best, Liu Biao did not sleep with her even once.

All these abnormal signs indicated that Liu Biao had seen through their scheme, but if that was the case, Liu Biao would have simply ordered them to be killed. Why did he deal with it in this way?

"Reckless man! Why are you in such a hurry? If we kill Liu Qi now, he won't be able to defend himself! Even if he really becomes the governor of Jingzhou, who will support him? The five great governors are all loyal to us. Even if Huang Zu and Huang Zhong both support him, it's five against two, no, five against one and a half. We have the advantage."

"But, Huang Zu and his men have a large army after all."

Cai said to Cai Mao with some concern, and Cai Mao waved his hand.

"How many more can they outnumber the garrison in Xiangyang? Half of the garrison is already in my hands."

As he spoke, Cai Mao threw half of the tiger talisman on the table. This was the reward that Liu Biao had given him when he was happy.

"Tomorrow, on your birthday, we will put an end to him! If Liu Qi is sensible and willing to give up his position as the governor of Jingzhou, we will spare his life! If he insists on dying in this position, we will satisfy him!"

Cai Mao slapped the table and pulled out a map from the table next to him.

"Tomorrow, I will mobilize half of the garrison troops in Xiangyang into the city. When my brother-in-law is dead, I will have them all go out and capture Liu Qi."

"What about Liu Bei?" Liu Cong asked curiously.

"Liu Bei? Lock him up first, and then release him after everything is settled."

"Don't you just kill him?"

"Kill him? Do you think his two brothers and his army are vegetarians?!"

Cai Mao was furious. He had never dared to think of attacking Liu Bei from the beginning to the end, but he didn't expect that Liu Cong had thought of it first.

"I'm telling you! You must stay here obediently tomorrow. Don't act rashly without my order!"

"I know, uncle."

The night deepens...

On the second day, a wailing sound was heard from the governor's mansion early in the morning. Gu Rubing had just got up when he heard the pig-slaughtering howl. Gu Rubing understood that Liu Biao must have fallen ill again, but this time, Gu Rubing had no herbs to save him.

"The Cai family may have taken action. It seems that Liu Biao will not be able to escape this time."

In Liu Biao's room, Cai covered her mouth and nose, hiding at the head of the bed in fear. Liu Biao was struggling on the bed. The intense burning sensation and piercing pain made him unable to even stand.

Liu Qi was the first to rush into the room. After seeing his father in such a state, Liu Qi was heartbroken. He quickly picked up the towel beside him and wiped the pus off Liu Biao's back. Liu Biao endured the pain and looked up at Liu Qi whose hands were shaking. He then glanced at Cai who was hiding at the head of the bed with a look of disgust on her face, and a feeling of grief and indignation surged in his heart.

How could he not be heartbroken when his concubine and second son, whom he loved so much, were not even one-tenth as good as his eldest son, whom he despised the most?

Just as Gu Rubing expected, last night, Cai took advantage of Liu Biao's deep sleep and forced him to drink a large bowl of ginseng wine. Originally, Liu Biao could still hold on for a few more days, but after Cai's torment, Liu Biao could not bear it anymore. Even if his body could withstand it, he could not bear the pain that felt like cramps and skin being peeled off.

"Quick! Go call Liu Bei!"

Liu Biao lay on the bed and yelled at the top of his lungs. He could no longer care about anything else. He just wanted Gu Rubing to help him again so that he wouldn't feel so uncomfortable.

Liu Qi turned around and shouted angrily at the frightened soldiers behind him.

"What are you still standing there for? Go and ask the Emperor's uncle to come and get him!"

"Need not."

Gu Rubing's voice came from outside the room. After coming in and seeing Liu Biao's appearance, Gu Rubing quickly walked to the bed, held Liu Biao's hand, stretched out three fingers, and pretended to put them on Liu Biao's wrist. His expression was extremely wonderful. First he lowered his eyebrows, then inhaled, and then let out a long sigh.

"Brother Jingsheng, didn't I tell you not to eat any tonic food or have sex? Why didn't you listen?"

"I, I didn't."

Liu Biao was in so much pain that he could hardly speak clearly. He could only hold on to Gu Rubing's hand tightly, as if he were grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Brother Jingsheng, what did you say? Speak louder."

At this moment, Liu Biao was trembling all over and his lips turned pale.

"I, didn't, have sex, and, didn't, eat..."

Halfway through his speech, Liu Biao's voice became smaller and smaller. Looking at the painful Liu Biao, Gu Rubing sighed in his heart, it is a pity that he was bewitched by a woman and ended up like this.

Gu Rubing put his ear close to Liu Biao's mouth.

"You said you didn't have sex?"

After hearing Gu Rubing's voice, Liu Biao was no longer able to speak and could only nod slightly mechanically.

"You said that it was Cai who fed you tiger penis wine?"

Gu Rubing suddenly turned his gaze towards Cai. Cai, who had calmed down hiding at the head of the bed, immediately became panicked and waved her hands frantically.

"No, not me. I didn't do it."

Ignoring Cai's flustered explanation, Gu Rubing lowered his head and continued to listen to Liu Biao. In fact, Liu Biao was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. His lips were trembling slightly because of the pain. To outsiders, it seemed like Liu Biao was telling something to Gu Rubing.

"Kill the Cai family? Appoint Liu Qi as the governor of Jingzhou?"

Hearing this, Liu Biao's eyes suddenly widened. He couldn't believe that Gu Rubing actually used him at the last moment. Liu Biao, who might have been able to survive for a while, was so angry that he spat out blood and died on the bed.

"Cai deliberately murdered my father. Kill Cai!"

Liu Qi shouted loudly, and countless soldiers swarmed in. Cai was still explaining to Gu Rubing, but after hearing Liu Qi's words, she collapsed on the spot.

"No, it wasn't me. I didn't feed him tiger penis wine. I fed him ginseng soup!"

Hearing that Cai admitted his crime himself, Gu Rubing felt relieved. Since this statement had been verified, the other statement of appointing Liu Qi as the governor of Jingzhou would naturally be recognized by them.

At this time, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others had just arrived here. As soon as they entered the house, they saw Cai confessing herself, and Cai Mao was furious.

"You vicious woman! How dare you harm the lord?!"

After hearing what Cai Mao said, Cai was stunned. Cai Mao drew his sword and was about to stab Cai to death.

Cai looked at Cai Mao in despair, and made up her mind.

"It was him, him and Zhang Yun, the two of them forced me to feed my husband!"

"You evil woman, stop talking nonsense and misleading people with your lies. Die!"

Cai Mao was startled and was about to step forward and strike Cai with the sword again, but was blocked by Taishi Ci. Gu Rubing said coldly without looking at Cai Mao.

"What is General Cai going to do? To avenge Jing Sheng? Or to silence him?"

"You, what are you talking about?"

"Someone, take down Cai Mao and Zhang Yun!"
