After coming out of Liu Biao's room, Liu Qi ordered Liu Cong and Liu Xiu again: "You clean up and go to Cai Mansion with me later. Cai Mao died. It is a major event. As a member of the Liu family, we should go and have a visit."

Cai Mao's death was naturally unusual for the Nanjun clan. It was indeed reasonable for the three Liu brothers to greet Liu Biao, representing Liu Biao, to say hello, not to mention that this is related to the political trend of Jingzhou in the future.

Liu Xiu ordered people to come and chase them. After the three brothers packed up their makeup and dressed, when they were young, they saw the three brothers get on the chariot together and began to rush to Cai Mao’s mansion to pay tribute to him.

On the cart, Liu Qi didn't say anything, but just closed his eyes to rest. When Liu Cong and Liu Xiu saw that Liu Qi didn't say anything, they thought he was tired and didn't say anything. The two just sat quietly opposite Liu Qi, each lowering their heads to think about things.

Halfway through the cart, Liu Qi, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly said, "I wrote to me the previous letter, saying that my father was critically ill, was it yours that you wrote it on your own initiative? Or did my father feel that the deadline is approaching, and I asked you to write it to me?"

Liu Cong and Liu Xiu were shocked when they heard this. They thought Liu Qi was already asleep.

Liu Xiu pondered for a while, then slowly said: "Brother, the person who asked me to write a letter to you...is my father. As the eldest brother said, he realized that the deadline was approaching, and he was afraid that he would not be able to wait for his elder brother to return, so he ordered me to write a book quickly. In addition, the plague in Nanjun is on the rise, and my brothers cannot make the decision, and I also need my elder brother to come back and preside over the meeting."

Liu Qi slowly opened his eyes and said, "My father's illness is difficult to cure, can a doctor give a real diagnosis?"

Liu Cong continued on the side: "There is a miraculous doctor Zhang Zhongjing to treat his father, saying that his father's illness is very critical."

"I understand." Liu Qi sighed lightly, looked up at the top of the carriage, a little dazed.

"After coming back from Cai's mansion, you two will go and rest and make up for your sleep. Look at your dark circles, there are still many things to be busy in the future. Don't exhaust yourself."

"No." The two brothers responded together.

"Get time to ask Zhang Ji to go to our mansion." Liu Qi continued to instruct the two of them.

"promise."

...

When he was young, Liu Qi and others arrived at Cai's Mansion.

At this time, Cai Mao's coffin had been transported back from the front line by the military and handed over to the hands of the Cai Mansion.

The courtyard inside and outside the Cai Mansion were all covered with white clothes, and there were endless people walking and worshiping, which showed the momentum of the Cai family in Xiangyang.

When Liu Qi arrived at Cai’s Mansion, someone immediately went in at the door to communicate, and someone brought white silk to Liu Qi and the other three.

When I was young, I saw Cai Zhong, Cai He and Cai Xi rushed to the gate and came to greet Liu Qi together.

"I have met you!" The three of them visited each other for a big week.

Liu Qi hurriedly reached out to help him, asked the three of them to stand up, and said sadly: "Degui was killed by an arrow, which is Liu's fault. I have never discovered the enemy's fault, so I let the thief army take advantage of the loopholes and make Degui die... This is my fault."

Cai Shi wiped his tears and said, "It's not the fault of the king, but the army was too cunning and treacherous. He used this cunning method to seek his brother's life!"

Cai Zhong asked, "I dare to ask the envoy, and I heard from the military newspaper brought back by the scouts on the front line. Cao Cao is now leading the troops back to the army, trying to fight Zhang Miao, and shooting his brother. Zhang Miao arranged in advance, trying to provoke the relationship between our Jingzhou people and Cao Cao... I wonder if this matter is true or false?"

Liu Qi sighed and said, "I don't know whether this matter is true or false. However, the person who killed Degui can only be one of them in the end. I, the people of Jingzhou, cannot win the strategy of either of them, so I will withdraw my troops and then find a way to provoke the two of them to fight and avenge Degui..."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi sighed and said, "Now that Yan Jun is critically ill, Jingzhou is also in trouble. If you compete with Cao Cao for strength, not to mention whether you can really avenge Degui, once Yan Jun dies, you may be in trouble in Jingzhou, and I hope you all will forgive me."

Cai He, Cai Zhong and Cai Xun were shocked when they heard this.

"Liu, Liu Jingzhou, is he critically ill?"

They knew that Liu Biao was sick, and they knew that he was very sick this time, but they had never heard of critical illness.

Liu Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, that's right. Jun Yan was afraid that there would be changes in Jingzhou, so he never made any statement. He just asked my two younger brothers to take care of him. I only knew about it when I was on the front line."

Cai Zhong sighed: "I don't think my brother has just left, and Liu Jingzhou...ah!"

Liu Qi sighed bitterly: "When this critical survival and death season is the time, Qi has to withdraw his troops."

"The king and the lord are safe."

Liu Qi comforted the three of them and said, "I have sent someone to Qingzhou to ask Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei to send troops to support Zhang Miao in attacking Cao Cao together. Regardless of who Zhang Miao or Cao Cao is the mastermind who killed Degui, this time they will let the two tigers compete for food, and use the bitter hatred of Degui!"

The three brothers Cai Zhong hurriedly bowed and said to Liu Qi: "Thank you, marquis!"

Afterwards, the three of them led Liu Qi into the hall together, where Cai Mao's spiritual position was placed, and many officials and gentry from Jingzhou came to mourn.

Seeing that Liu Qi was coming, everyone gave in and asked Liu Qi to pay tribute to Cai Mao first.

"Degui, I'm late..." Liu Qi swallowed even more.

His voice was very sad, with a faint sob.

Next to it is Cai Mao's wife, dressed in mourning clothes, sobbing and bowing to the guests coming and going.

When she saw Liu Qi coming to pay tribute, Mrs. Cai's tears suddenly came out.

"Sister..."

Liu Qi bowed and said, "My brother and sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely avenge Degui. Liu will never sit idly by the matter of your Cai family!"

Mrs. Cai wiped her tears and said, "My sister can say this. If Degui wants to hear it in the nine springs, he will be in peace... After I am filial, I will take my children back to my parents' home. If my sister can kill his enemies and avenge Degui, I will send someone to the Liu family in Zhonglu to inform me that I can burn incense and pray, and comfort Degui's spirit in the sky."

Liu Qi felt very sad when he heard Mrs. Cai’s sadness, but when he heard Mrs. Cai wanted to take her son back to her parents’ home, he couldn’t help but feel relieved and thoughtful.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Qi went to the spiritual throne to pay homage to Cai Mao.

After the memorial service was over, I just turned around and heard a slightly crying voice:

"Young man..."

Liu Qi scratched her head and looked at it, but Cai Mi was standing beside her. Her eyes were red and her face was covered with tears.

Liu Qi sighed softly and said to Cai Mi: "Sister, let's go out and talk."

Cai Mi pursed her lips and nodded.

The two walked out of the mourning hall together and came to the side courtyard.

Liu Qi said to Cai Mi: "I blame me for not protecting Degui well, which caused your Cai family leader to die before the formation... It's my fault."

Cai Mi wiped her tears and shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with you. After all, it is in front of the two armies. Life and death are in a flash. It is very human beings who can control it... What I am worried about now is where my Cai family should go in the future."

Liu Qi remembered what Mrs. Cai said to her just now and asked: "Just now, I heard from my younger brother and sister that after mourning for Degui, she would take the child back to her parents' home... Degui was newly destroyed. Is it a bit too late to do this? Even if she remarries, it should be too late to wait. Besides, the child is named Cai, why should she take it away together?"
