Spring of the twelfth year of Jian'an.
Jingzhou, Xiangyang, and General Zhennan’s Mansion.
It’s a warm spring day, the garden is full of fresh green, and birds are singing.
Liu Qi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and sighed: "Spring is here..."
Before he could express his emotion, he heard the door knocker ring and a young girl in green clothes walked in quietly.
"Da Lang, it's time to take medicine!"
Liu Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned around and asked, "Is this medicine a legitimate medicine?"
"This is what I brewed myself," the young girl said, holding the medicine and bringing it over, with a look of pity on her face, "You must be exhausted after going to greet the emperor's uncle so early in the morning. Take the medicine quickly and lie down for a while."
The woman had picturesque eyebrows and eyes, a gentle voice, and a soft smile that seemed to outshine the beauty of the spring in the garden.
Liu Qi stretched out his hand but did not take the bowl. He hooked his index finger under her creamy chin and sighed, "Ling'er, how good would it be if you really treated me like this?"
"Da Lang, what's wrong with you?" The girl took a step back in shock and almost spilled the medicine.
Du Ling'er, Mrs. Cai's adopted daughter, was sent by Mrs. Cai to take care of Liu Qi's daily life after he fell ill.
Liu Qi rubbed his slippery fingers and said, "Try it first to see if it's hot."
Du Ling'er's expression changed slightly, and she picked up the bowl and said with a smile, "It has been dried. It's just right."
Liu Qi pushed it back: "Take a sip first."
"Da Lang, you..." Du Ling'er pouted her red lips and complained, "I got up early in the morning to make medicine, but you didn't want to drink it."
The beauty is pretty, with slightly puffy cheeks, and seems to be angry and resentful, which makes me feel pity for her.
If it were the original Liu Qi, he would immediately take the bowl and drink it down to win the beauty's smile.
But now it is different. Liu Qi died of a cold while accompanying her to appreciate the flowers half a month ago. Now he has become another person and has integrated the memories of his previous life.
In this life, I am no longer a social animal who regards 996 as a benefit!
In this life, I am no longer a tool for working overtime while staying up late while sick!
I am a descendant of the Han royal family, a royal relative, and the legitimate heir to a local lord!
The troubled times have come, I have to grab both the country and the beauty, I will never be a bootlicker in this life!
"You don't dare to drink this medicine?" Liu Qi snatched the bowl and threw it to the ground.
He pulled the screaming girl onto the bed, took her into his arms, and said in a deep voice, "Play a trick on me, huh?"
Liu Qi's words made Du Ling'er's body tremble slightly. She struggled and said, "Da Lang, what are you saying? I don't understand!"
"You are not Madam Cai's adopted daughter, but just a pawn of the Cai family. They promised you to my cousin Zhang Yun, but sent you to serve me. This will make Zhang Yun hate me, and make my father think that Madam Cai is virtuous. By the way, they can monitor me and tamper with the medicine. It's really killing two birds with one stone!"
"Ah? You..." Du Ling'er was stunned. She forgot to struggle and let the hand wander around her body.
She looked at Liu Qi in disbelief, with panic in her eyes.
Could it be that when he met Uncle Liu today, Liu Bei told him secretly
"It's only been a few years since Dong Zhuo died in Chang'an? Have you forgotten?"
Liu Qi shouted loudly, and with a sizzling sound, he tore off the new spring clothes he had just changed into, and suddenly the whole room was filled with spring.
Du Linger's body was stiff, her beautiful eyes were dilated with panic, and she struggled, "Da Lang, no, I'm afraid..."
"Afraid? You tampered with the medicine to make me weaker, why aren't you afraid? You deliberately flirted with me to make me addicted to your beauty, why aren't you afraid? Since you're here, you should have been prepared!"
Liu Qi turned over and pressed Du Ling'er under him, buried his head between her neck, and lifted her golden skirt with his other hand...
"Oh~"
Half an hour later, the room was filled with the scent of hormones, and the bed was bright red, like peach blossoms in full bloom.
"Bitch, you still have the nerve to cry? This is the punishment you deserve."
Liu Qi looked at the smooth shoulders, and at this moment he was as calm as a sage.
If there was one more cigarette, it would be perfect!
Du Linger glared at Liu Qi fiercely and said through gritted teeth: "You are ruthless and cruel!"
Liu Qi pinched her smooth chin, scraped his fingers across her red lips and teeth, and sneered: "Since you are still the original authentic product, this young master will give you a chance to correct your mistakes. I hope you will take care of yourself."
Watching Liu Qi getting dressed and going out, Du Ling'er's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion and fear.
In the past, as long as I smiled or frowned, he would obey me. How come he suddenly changed into a different person, like a wolf
How could she know that Liu Qi had essentially become a different person.
When they went out, the old butler Liu Fu was already waiting in the yard. Liu Qi pointed to the left, and the two of them walked towards the study room without making a sound.
Now Liu Qi has been completely suppressed by the Cai family and it is difficult for him to even meet Liu Biao.
In order to isolate Liu Qi, the Cai family first used the beauty trap to bribe Liu Biao's nephew Zhang Yun, but since his nephew Liu Pan refused to be persuaded, they designed to remove him from his official position.
The maid beside him was replaced by Du Ling'er to monitor him, and the only confidant he could use was Liu Fu.
"Da Lang, the croton seeds have been bought. I asked someone to find more than a dozen households outside the city. We will never be discovered." After closing the door, Liu Fu couldn't wait to speak.
He had taken care of Liu Qi since he was a child, but ever since the old master married Madam Cai, Liu Qi was gradually alienated and suppressed. He saw it all and felt anxious.
A few days ago, Liu Qi suddenly wrote a secret letter, asking him to send someone to ask his cousin Liu Pan for help. This suddenly gave Liu Fu hope.
Liu Pan is Liu Biao's nephew. He grew up with Liu Qi and they have a close relationship. He originally led troops in Jingnan, but now lives in seclusion in You County.
After receiving the secret letter, Liu Pan entered the mansion three days ago on the pretext of visiting a patient.
This morning Cai Mao invited Liu Bei to Xiangyang to host a banquet for all officials tomorrow.
Liu Fu thought that Liu Qi was going to take advantage of Cai Mao's absence to meet Liu Biao, and said, "Liu Pan alone is probably no match for Cai Mao. Uncle Liu is at the inn. Do you want me to ask him for help tonight?"
Liu Qi shook his head slightly and ordered: "At the banquet tomorrow, mix the croton soup into the horse fodder and water of Liu Bei and his guards..."
This operation made Liu Fu dumbfounded, and he said in shock: "Ah? Dalang, Liu Xuande is the current emperor's uncle..."
"Do you think he doesn't want to seize Jingzhou?" Liu Qi smiled coldly, "To completely eradicate the Cai family, we can only use this strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf."
Liu Fu didn't expect Liu Qi to be so courageous. He was stunned for a moment before taking a deep breath and bowing, saying, "As long as Dalang has the ambition, I am willing to do anything."
Liu Qi patted his shoulder gently: "This can only be done by you, and no one else should know about it, including my father."
"I understand!" Liu Fu knew the importance of this matter and bowed and left.
Liu Qi sat in the study, went over the whole plan again, and chuckled, "Liu Paopao, let's see how you can run this time."
As someone who often plays Three Kingdoms games, he is well aware that the 12th year of Jian'an was another major turning point in the late Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao has already pacified Hebei and is on an expedition against the Wuhuan. He will soon march south.
Sun Quan marched west to attack Huang Zu, and Jiangxia was about to be lost;
Liu Bei immediately visited Zhuge Liang three times, and preparations gradually improved;
The Battle of Xinye and the Battle of Chibi are about to begin, and the true Three Kingdoms will begin from now on...
When all the criticisms were directed at Jingzhou, it also meant that Liu Qi's life had come to an end.
Since we have the good fortune to travel through time and space to this troubled time, we cannot just sit there and wait for death.
Since he came here, he stopped taking the medicine sent by Du Ling'er and started taking medicine secretly to recuperate. His body has almost recovered.
Tomorrow Cai Mao will host a banquet in Xiangyang for officials from all over the country as a gesture of appeasement. Liu Biao is too ill to attend, and his two sons are unable to handle the important tasks. Worried about impoliteness, he specially invites Liu Bei to entertain the guests.
This morning I was suddenly called by Cai Mao to welcome the distinguished guests together with the civil and military officials, and met Liu Bei and Zhao Yun.
Liu Qi knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had finally come!
After this Hongmen Banquet, the famous "Uncle Liu leaps over the Tan River on horseback" happened!
If it weren't for Lu's magical leap, Liu Bei would have died for sure!
Liu Qi wanted to counterattack and change his fate, so he secretly facilitated this matter and reaped the benefits.
Di Lu had diarrhea at the critical moment. How can Liu Da'er escape
