Liu Biao looked at Zuo Li, his heart surging like the sea, and he was extremely panicked.
He has established himself in Jingzhou and has gained a firm foothold. Once he marries the Cai family and has the support of the Cai family, he will have nothing to worry about - Jingzhou will be his!
In the past two years, Liu Biao has seen and heard too much, and his vision has become longer-term.
The imperial court is weak, heroes are rising up, the Han Dynasty is about to end, and the great cause is about to begin!
Jingzhou is located in a strategic position in the south. It is relatively prosperous and remote, making it a place where things can be accomplished!
Jiaozhi is a deserted place with no people and no good farmland. What can one do after going there?
Liu Biao had worked so hard to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, so how could he be willing to give up?
But if this was the emperor's will, could he resist?
Zuo Li saw everything from Liu Bian's expression, and with a sneer on his face, he said, "Envoy Liu, are you still going to protect Zhang Yun?"
In the silence, Liu Biao was startled and came to his senses when he heard Zuo Li's voice.
He quickly calmed himself, turned rapidly, frowned, and thought about countermeasures.
Seeing that the atmosphere was too tense, Kuai Liang said with a smile: "My lord, the court, and your majesty, have you made a decision?"
Liu Biao opened his eyes and stared at Zuo Li closely.
This is the key point. As long as the court has not made a decision, everything can still be salvaged!
"Owner!"
Before Zuo Li could say anything, a servant came running over, looking panicked and breathless, saying, "Master, there are two hundred people at the door. They are the Yellow Gate Beisi Prison, and they are holding the palace's gold medal in their hands."
Kuai Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that the matter would not end well.
If it was Zuo Li alone, they could still find a way to deal with it, but Zuo Li openly mobilized 200 imperial guards. At this time, both inside and outside Liu's mansion were famous people from Jingzhou. Under the watchful eyes of the public, Liu Biao had lost his "secret means"!
Liu Biao took a deep breath, his usual spring breeze smile appeared on his face, and he said to Zuo Li: "Noble Zuo, that Zhang Yun was just a small preparation of the governor's mansion. If he offended you, you can deal with him as you like. But, I wonder if you have any instructions to convey by coming here?"
Zuo Li felt much better, and with more help coming, he felt more confident. He slowly sat up straight, looked at Liu Biao with disdain, and said, "Liu Biao, are you trying to fool me?"
Seeing Zuo Li calling Liu Biao by his full name, Kuai Liang became even more aggressive. He was extremely flustered and said with a smile: "My lord, today is the envoy's wedding. If there is an imperial decree, it is also... a double happiness. The return gift will certainly not be less."
Liu Biao sat upright, suppressing his anxiety, and looked at Zuo Li with a smile.
Kuai Liang's words not only inquired about the emperor's will, but also hinted at "returning the gift".
How could Zuo Li care about money and other things? He just wanted to kill Zhang Yun right now, in front of Liu Biao!
Just as he was about to speak, he saw two more people walking towards him from a distance.
"Greetings to the envoy, and greetings to the noble."
Cai Mao and Pang Ji came over and greeted with calm expressions.
This kind of "calmness" is the forced composure under extreme tension.
They already knew the general situation, how could they continue as usual?
Zuo Lizhi knew Pang Ji but not Cai Mao, but he could probably guess what was going on. He looked cold and said, "You met Liu Biao first and then me. Don't you have any regard for the court or His Majesty?"
Cai Mao and Pang Ji were shocked. Could this noble person from the palace be so outspoken?
Pang Ji had never seen Zuo Li, but he knew how powerful he was. He knew there must be something going on when he suddenly appeared at Liu's residence. He was a little moved and said quickly, "My lord, this is Jingzhou, and Envoy Liu is the governor of Jingzhou, so we are used to it. Please don't be surprised."
Zuo Li was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. He turned to Liu Biao and said in a stern tone, "Liu Biao, don't forget that you are a criminal. You stopped the troops without authorization. This is a capital crime!"
Liu Biao's face changed slightly, and then became gloomy. He was annoyed, but could not find an excuse to refute.
The reason why he became the governor of Jingzhou was because he did nothing during his tenure as Chief Censor, and was "exiled" to Jingzhou by Liu Bian.
Seeing Zuo Li's desperate move, Kuai Liang could not help but said, "My Lord..."
"Call me angel!" Zuo Li said coldly.
Kuai Liang was stunned and had to change his address, saying, "Angel, I wonder why you are here?"
This is something that Kuai Liang has always been concerned about.
If Zuo Li came with some purpose, they would need to be extra cautious in their response.
But if Zuo Li was just like those eunuchs in the past, just for extortion without any clear intention, they would have much more room for maneuver!
"This is the governor's residence, you can't barge in!"
As soon as Kuai Liang finished speaking, an urgent shout was heard from not far away, followed by a group of imperial guards, who rushed over recklessly.
When Liu Biao, Kuai Liang, Cai Mao and others saw this, their expressions changed again and again.
Zuo Li, on the other hand, felt much more at ease, his eyes became even colder, and the murderous intent in his heart became more intense than ever before.
Apart from the time in the palace, today was probably the most humiliating and closest he had ever been to death!
He must kill Zhang Yun!
"Master, master, we can't stop them..." The servants in Liu Biao's mansion ran over in panic.
Liu Biao had a gloomy face as he saw more than 200 imperial guards surrounding him. Outside the corridor not far away, many guests gathered, poking their heads in, and some even squeezed out to watch.
Seeing the situation getting out of control, Liu Biao took a deep breath, his eyes widened, and asked, "My lord, what on earth are you going to do?"
Zuo Li stood up slowly and carefully, resisting the urge to stand up. He looked around and sneered, "I am an angel. Your people almost beat me to death. I can execute you right now!"
The guards behind Zuo Li stepped forward one after another, drawing their swords with clanging movements, full of murderous intent.
The guards of Liu's mansion had already rushed over and drew their swords to confront the imperial guards.
Pang Ji was startled and turned around and shouted, "Stop it!"
He was a Beijing official. In short, he was sent by the court to monitor Liu Biao. How could he allow Liu Biao to openly draw his sword to fight against the angel!
Kuai Liang was also terrified. He hurriedly stood between Liu Biao and Zuo Li and said, "Angel, the matter of Zhang Yun has nothing to do with you, my Lord. Please understand! We will send someone to capture Zhang Yun right away!"
After saying that, he turned and looked at Liu Biao.
Liu Biao did not expect such a thing to happen on his wedding day. Seeing that Zuo Li was determined not to give up and wanted to protect Zhang Yun, he had no other choice but to accept it.
Kuai Liang was relieved when he saw Liu Biao agreed, and then he turned to Zuo Li and said, "Angel, Envoy Liu is related to the overall situation of Jiangdong, and must not be moved lightly. What happened today was purely a misunderstanding. I am willing to go back to the capital with the angel and explain it to the court and His Majesty on his behalf."
Zhang Yun almost beat Zuo Li to death. Zhang Yun was the chief clerk of Liu Biao's governor's office. And it happened in Liu Biao's yard. It was certain that Zuo Li would label Liu Biao as the "killing angel"!
Once Zuo Li reports this matter to the imperial court and the palace, Liu Biao will at least end up with his entire clan exterminated!
Cai Mao, Pang Ji and others had never expected such a change to happen. The two of them stood behind Liu Biao, thinking about all kinds of possibilities.
The imperial guards brought by Zuo Li were on guard all around, with sharp swords and murderous aura.
Cai Mao and Pang Ji looked at each other. There were so many imperial guards hiding in Leiyang, but they had no idea about it before!
Seeing Zuo Li's gloomy face and silent, Kuai Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "Angel, are you going back to Beijing?"
Zuo Li's face suddenly changed. He looked at Kuai Liang seriously, but he did not try to hide his feelings. He asked, "How did you know?"
Kuai Liang felt relieved when he heard this. He raised his hand and said calmly, "The angel has been in Jingzhou for two years. His first appearance brought disgrace to the people of Jingzhou. I can't think of any other reason except that the angel is about to return to Beijing."
Zuo Li glanced at Liu Biao, Cai Mao and others, snorted coldly, and said: "They say that Jingchu is full of treacherous evil, today I have seen it."
When Liu Biao saw that Zuo Li was going back to the capital, he became even more worried, but he did not interrupt.
Kuai Liang felt more confident and calm, and said, "May I have a private chat with the angel?"
Zuo Li saw Zhang Yun coming from the corner of his eye, and his gloomy expression gradually turned calm. He said, "No hurry."
Kuai Liang also noticed it, paused, moved closer to Zuo Li, and whispered: "There is a great merit that I want to give to the angel."
Zuo Li didn't move at all, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Yun, and he said, "It's not too late."
Seeing that Zuo Li was unmoved, Kuai Liang whispered even more: "This matter is of great importance. Angel really wants to miss it?"
Zuo Li's eyes twitched slightly, and his face twitched with pain. After a moment of hesitation, he said coldly: "You'd better say it's a great achievement, otherwise, I will kill you too!"
Kuai Liang remained expressionless and gestured with his hand.
Zuo Li stretched out his hand, and with the help of the guards, he limped out of the pavilion with Kuai Liang.
Liu Biao, Cai Mao, Pang Ji and others watched and placed their hopes on Kuai Liang.
They all didn't want Zuo Li to kill Zhang Yun in the governor's mansion, as this would have a huge and unpredictable impact on Liu Biao, them, and the situation in Jingzhou!
Kuai Liang glanced at Liu Biao and others in the pavilion, pondered for a while, and without beating around the bush, he raised his hand and said to Zuo Li: "Angel, I just got the news that Dong Zhuo is going to form an alliance with Yuan Shu."
Zuo Li's face suddenly changed, and he grimaced in pain, but he didn't care and asked anxiously: "Are you telling the truth? Do you have any evidence?"
Kuai Liang raised his hand, his face solemn, and said, "Last month, Lü Bu and Yuan Shu agreed to get married. Lü Bu's daughter will marry Yuan Shu's son. The wedding will be held in October, or September at the latest. Invitations will be sent out."
Zuo Li was stunned for a moment, and suddenly figured out a lot of things, his face became terribly gloomy.
Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo had a feud that resulted in their clan being exterminated, so it was impossible for them to form an alliance.
But the current situation is very unfavorable to Yuan Shu, and once Yuan Shu falls, Dong Zhuo will become the next target of public criticism.
Dong Zhuo would not allow Yuan Shu to be destroyed so quickly, and in order for Yuan Shu to survive, the alliance between the two was inevitable.
However, because of the "grudge of genocide" between the two, they could not form an alliance directly, so it was a "brilliant strategy" to form an "indirect alliance" through the marriage between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu.
Zuo Li never expected such a turn of events to happen.
Having been in Jingzhou for almost two years, he is well aware of the horror of the alliance between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu. Perhaps, the imperial court's plan to destroy Yuan will fail because of this!
The favorable situation in the South will become delicate and unpredictable!
Zuo Li's expression changed for a moment, and he stared at Kuai Liang fiercely, saying, "Who else knows about this?"
Kuai Liang raised his hand and said, "Except for those close to Dong, Lu, and Yuan, no one should know about it for now. Well... it just so happens that there is a fellow villager of mine in Yuan's army, so I learned about it by chance."
Zuo Li's mind was no longer on "revenge", but on how to get the news to Luoyang as quickly as possible, so that it could reach Liu Bian's desk first and win this great achievement!
At this moment, Zhang Yun had already arrived at the pavilion and stood behind Liu Biao.
Zuo Li was thinking about it, turned around and saw it, murderous intent suddenly surged up in his heart, and he whispered to the guard beside him.
The guard immediately waved his hand and ordered his men to drag Zhang Yun out.
When Kuai Liang saw this, he hurriedly said, "Angel, please show mercy!"
He said so much, but the most important thing was that he wanted to save Zhang Yun's life and make today's incident disappear without a trace.
"Ah... spare me, spare me, sir, help me..."
Zhang Yun was kicked to the ground, and then the five guards punched and kicked him.
The imperial guards who followed Zuo Li south were all burly men, and they attacked with all their might, as if they wanted to beat Zhang Yun to death.
When Liu Biao and others came out of the pavilion, they all changed color when they saw that Zhang Yun was about to be beaten to death.
Zhang Yun was Liu Biao's trusted confidant and confidant. It was Zhang Yun who won over the Kuai family and the Cai family for him, paving the way for Liu Biao to "rule" Jingzhou.
"stop!"
Seeing that Zhang Yun was about to be beaten to death, Liu Biao couldn't help it and shouted loudly.
Zuo Li looked at Liu Biao coldly and waved his hand.
The guards behind him surrounded Liu Biao.
The guards who attacked Zhang Yun did not stop at all.
Seeing that Zuo Li showed no room for negotiation, Kuai Liang felt a chill in his heart.
Liu Biao glanced at the guards around him, glared at Zuo Li, and shouted, "Zhang Yun is my staff member in the Jingzhou Governor's Office. If anyone wants to punish him, I will do it. Even if you are an angel, you can't do this!"
Zuo Li stared at Zhang Yun, and when he saw that he was no longer breathing, he felt relieved. He turned to Liu Biao with a sneer and said, "Envoy Liu, you are so courageous. How about you come back to the capital with me?"
Liu Biao looked at Zuo Li's expression and heard him call himself a "villain". He felt cold all over and the righteous words he had prepared were blocked in his stomach.
Zuo Li looked around at Liu Biao and the people around him, put his hands behind his back, pretended to be dignified, and said loudly: "You must remember that you are the subjects of the Han Dynasty. This is a matter for a day and a lifetime. If anyone has evil intentions and plots to establish himself, all nine generations of his clan will be killed!"
Including Liu Biao, everyone's face changed, but they couldn't say a word.
There are some things you can do but can’t say!
Zuo Li took in their expressions, glanced at Kuai Liang, and shouted, "Let's go!"
The guard supported Zuo Li and walked away with a swagger.
The Liu family, who were originally celebrating, but were congratulated by Jiangdong, no longer showed any joy, and instead were left with Zhang Yun's cold body.
Liu Biao stared at the backs of Zuo Li and others, his eyes widened with hatred, his face ferocious, and he tightly grasped the sword at his waist.
Kuai Liang came over, sighed softly, and said, "Envoy, this is the best outcome. Please appease the guests."
Not far away, there were a group of guests looking on.
