Sun Ce's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he handed the long knife in his hand forward. "Rong Ma is handsome, and there is no time to prepare a gift, so I can only replace it with this knife and make up for it in the future. In extraordinary times, the Cai family shouldn't care about these details, right? ”

Cai Ji was startled and said with a dry smile: "General, this is too hasty, right?" ”

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows, his face a little unkind. He didn't expect to enter the Cai family so easily. "Steward Cai, the Son of Heaven moved westward, the people were struggling to make a living, my father was desperate for the country, and the military rations could not be supplied in time, how could I have time to prepare for the dowry? I didn't hide it from the steward, saying that this time, it is one thing to propose relatives, and it is another to borrow food. Both of these things are important, have you done the Lord? ”

Cai Ji shook his head. "The general is right, I really can't be the master. The old family master is old and has long been out of the council, can you ask the general to wait, I will immediately send someone to Xiangyang City to ask the young family master to come back and receive the general. ”

"Wait here?" Sun Ce's eyebrows raised. "The threshold of the Cai family is so high, I came to propose, but I couldn't even enter the door, so I could only wait outside the door? Do you look down on my Sun family, or don't you take Zhang Gong seriously? ”

Beads of sweat appeared on Cai Ji's forehead, and he bowed his hand again and again. "The general is angry, not intentionally disrespectful to the general, but the manor is too small to accommodate the general. Besides, if the young head of the family is not in the village, I don't dare to make decisions on my own......"

"If you don't dare to call the shots, why not ask for instructions. The old family owner is old, and the young family owner is not in the village, is there no one in charge? Sun Ce's voice was fierce and interrupted Cai Ji. He didn't really come to propose, and Sun Jian was not a good-tempered person, he was too polite to be like it. "Quickly report back, and within half an hour, if no one comes to greet me, I will transfer the whole army and kill it."

Cai Ji was frightened, glanced at the military camp in Yuliangzhou in the distance, didn't dare to reason with Sun Ce anymore, arched his hand, and hurried back to the manor.

Sun Ce waved his hand, someone took a Hu bed, he sat down, held the long knife, closed his eyes and rested. Huang Zhong and Zu Mao's eyes widened, and they carefully looked at the Cai family's manor, looking for a breakthrough and preparing to attack.

After a short time, a small boat crossed the water, and one person and one rider on the boat went ashore, and the knight turned over and got on his horse and galloped towards Xiangyang City.

——

Kuai Yue played with the dust tail in his hand, his eyes flickering.

The scout, who had been captured by Sun Ce, knelt in front of him, trembling. As soon as he ran back to Xiangyang City, he was covered in sweat, but now he stopped, and when the wind blew, he was cold all over his body.

Kuai Yue glanced at him and said lightly: "You go down first and order something first." ”

"Whoa." The scout let out a sigh of relief and stepped back.

Kuai Yue stood up, spun back and forth twice, and sat back down. At this time, another scout came to report that Sun Ce had gone to Cai Zhou, there were only two or three hundred people around him, he said a few words to the people of the Cai family, and now he is waiting outside the Cai family. They couldn't hear what they were saying through the water. However, someone from the Cai family left the manor and was rushing to Xiangyang City, but Sun Ce did not stop him.

Kuai Yue chuckled, got up and rushed to Liu Biao's Assassin's Mansion. When he entered the door, Cai Mao was begging in front of Liu Mian, and when he saw him come in, he hurriedly greeted him. "Kuai Yidu, Sun Ce has attacked my manor, you quickly send troops to rescue, otherwise my Cai family will be destroyed."

"Really?" Kuai Yue was not in a hurry, bowed to Liu Biao, and took a seat on the side. "How did I hear that Sun Ce went to propose?"

"Propose?" Liu Biao was taken aback, and looked at Cai Mao with something wrong in his eyes. Not long ago, Cai Mao also proposed to marry his sister to him as a concubine, how could he have a relationship with the Sun family again, and Sun Ce went to the Cai family to propose marriage.

"Xeno, where did you hear that?" Cai Mao hurriedly interrupted Kuai Yue. "This is Sun Ce's divisive plan, you must not believe it. What kind of gateway is my Cai family, how can I marry a cunning swordsman like Sun Jian. Besides, if there was such a thing, why didn't he mention it last time he passed through Xiangyang? ”

Liu Biao was silent and turned to Kuai Yue. Kuai Yue was not in a hurry, and asked people to bring the two scouts in. "Report everything you see and hear to the envoy."

The two scouts didn't dare to slack off, and told Liu Biao again the information they had just reported to Kuai Yue. Before the captured scout could finish speaking, Liu Biao's face changed. Sun Ce's words were too ugly. He was just nearly half a hundred years old, and he was well maintained, how could he become a person who was about to enter the ground in Sun Ce's mouth? Sun Ce thinks so, will the Cai family think the same way, so they regret it again?

Cai Mao was also anxious. "It's something that doesn't exist at all, I've never heard of it."

"Now the war is chaotic, the news is not clear, and it is normal that you have not heard of it." Kuai Yue said unhurriedly: "De Jue, I don't doubt your intentions, I believe that the envoy also trusts you." But Sun Ce only brought two or three hundred people to Cai Zhou, and he had no intention of attacking, so it didn't look like he was going to attack Cai's family, what do you say? ”

Cai Mao suddenly panicked, her heart was beating like a drum, and her face was flushed. Kuai Yue didn't doubt him, but it was even more terrible than doubting him, and he couldn't refute it if he wanted to. To be honest, even he wasn't sure if there was such a thing. He turned around and knelt down in front of Liu Mian and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Make the king Mingjian, and the marriage between the king and the envoy is out of sincerity, and there is no second heart."

Liu Biao couldn't judge either. Even if Cai Mao didn't lie, who can guarantee that what Sun Ce said was false? Sun Jian is Zhang Wen's former official, who has just made great contributions in the war against Dong, and even occupied Nanyang. If Zhang Wen wants to entrust his family to him, it is not impossible to match him with the Cai family. The question is what now? Let Cai Mao go back to receive Sun Ce, this will definitely not work, maybe the Cai family will switch to Sun Jian because of this. If Cai Mao is not allowed to go back, it will not work, and Cai Mao will not be able to feel at ease while watching Sun Ce occupy Cai Zhou.

Send troops to rescue the Cai family? It seemed that this was the best option, but looking at Kuai Yue's expression, he obviously did not support this.

"Xenodimension, what's your opinion?"

"I believe in Dejure." Kuai Yue shook his tail and said with a wry smile: "I think this is probably Sun Ce's plan." However, his purpose should not be the Cai Family Manor, two or three hundred people can't capture the Cai Family Manor, I think he wants to ambush the reinforcements we sent. Although Sun Jian is frivolous and easy to kill, he is good at using troops and fighting bravely, if he goes out of the city and fights in a field and is ambushed, we don't have much advantage at all. ”

Liu Biao chuckled in his heart and frowned. Kuai Yue is reasonable, according to the city, he is still a little sure, giving up the advantage of the city, out of the city to fight with Sun Resolute, this is not a wise choice. Compared with the loss of Xiangyang, the loss of the Cai family is really nothing.

"What do you see?"

Cai Mao jumped up and pointed at Kuai Yue and scolded. "Kuai Xenodu, do you want to watch my Cai family die?"

Kuai Yue shook his head regretfully. "Dejue, why do you say this. Although the age difference between you and me is a little bigger, I work together with you, assist the envoy, and have always cooperated happily, how can I watch your Cai family die? I'm just saying that Sun Jian is cunning, for the sake of the safety of Xiangyang City, we should be serious and not fall for his plan. Rest assured, I'll send more scouts to keep an eye on me. Once Sun Ce shows signs of attacking your manor, I will immediately send someone to support, how about it?" ”

Cai Mao was speechless, staring at Kuai Yue, who was talking and laughing, and her back was chilling.

Kuaixodu, you are so scheming, you don't see blood when you kill someone.
