♂?，，

  This token most directly proves that the assassin is a subordinate of General Zuo, and further down, it can be inferred that the assassin was likely sent by Liu Bei, Liu Feng's father.

  When Liu Qi saw the name on the token, his expression changed, clearly indicating that his mind had followed the inference of this token.

  If Liu Feng saw this token in normal times, his first reaction would be to think of it as a trick by Cao Cao's side, but he was surprised because he suddenly remembered Xu Shu's strange smile that day.

  A few days ago when bidding farewell to Liu Bei, Xu Shu had personally told Liu Bei that he had a wonderful plan to seize power from Liu Qi. Could this be the so-called "wonderful plan" of his?

  In an instant, Liu Feng's mind was surging like a tide, but in front of Liu Qi, he couldn't show any signs. He raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a sneer-like smile: "Does this Cao Yan think we're all idiots? Can't even see through such a simple divisive plot?"

  Liu Qi's gloomy expression immediately turned sunny, apparently he was the kind of person who was straightforward and easily deceived by superficial things.

  Liu Bei insisted on allying with Eastern Wu to resist Cao, and Liu Qi became vigilant and moved into the military camp. Before Liu Bei went to Fan Kou, he agreed to his conditions for allying with Wu, promising that the Wu army would not enter Xia Kou. Immediately afterwards, he was no longer wary of Liu Bei and even invited Liu Feng to join him in eating, drinking and having fun.

  When he saw the assassin's token bearing Liu Bei's name, he immediately became suspicious again. Now, when Liu Feng naturally said that the assassin was Cao Cao's plot to sow discord, his suspicion vanished into thin air.

  "Afeng, is this Cao Cao's scheme to sow discord?" Liu Qi asked tensely.

  Liu Feng's expression was calm and composed, and he said indifferently: "Is this still necessary to say? My father is renowned for his benevolence and righteousness throughout the land. How could he do something that would harm his own kin and bring about a calamity that would be condemned by heaven? When the time comes, not only will it tarnish his reputation, but it will also unsettle the hearts of the people in Jiangxia."

  Liu Qi nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Uncle has always been kind to me, this nephew, how could he harm me?"

  Liu Feng continued, "Let's just say it as a joke. If Father really wanted to send someone to assassinate his brother, with Father's intelligence, would he be foolish enough to let the assassin carry his token? Brother, isn't that right?"

  Liu Qi's doubts were dispelled by Liu Feng's explanation, and he burst out laughing: "Brother Feng is right, Cao the old villain wants to drive a wedge between us uncle and nephew, I think he's just daydreaming."

  Convinced, Liu Feng secretly let out a sigh of relief, but his own doubts grew heavier. With Cao Zhen's intelligence, it was unlikely that he would come up with such a clumsy scheme to sow discord. If it wasn't Cao Zhen, could it really be Xu Yuanzhi's plan?

  Suddenly, Liu Feng's mind was shocked, and a chilling thought flashed through his mind: If it were Xu Yuanzhi, he would not dare to arbitrarily decide the fate of Zi De. This means that he might have received a secret order from Liu Bei. But what reason could make Liu Bei change his mind and be so ruthless as to want to kill Zi De?

  All sorts of suspicions had been disturbing Liu Feng's mind, so he prepared to take his leave first and hurry to Xushu to ask about the situation. At this moment, a servant rushed through the crowd of onlookers, came forward and exclaimed: "Young master, something terrible has happened, there is a mutiny in the northern camp."

  "Mutiny!" Liu Qi was shocked, grabbed the servant and asked: "What's going on?"

  "Your humble servant heard a commotion outside the mansion just now, so I rushed out to take a look. Who would have thought that the streets were already in chaos? Your humble servant asked around and heard that there was a mutiny at the Northern Camp. As for what exactly happened, your humble servant doesn't know either."

  Liu Feng made a great effort to remain calm and said with a frown, "Brother, first there was an assassination attempt, then I heard about the mutiny in the Northern Camp. I think these two events may be connected."

  "What should we do?" Liu Qi was a bit panicked after encountering successive unexpected events.

  Liu Feng's sword eyebrows were deeply condensed, and he said without hesitation: "Brother, don't be alarmed. I think this is just a small number of people with ulterior motives stirring up trouble behind the scenes. We'll rush to the North Camp immediately, put down the military uprising first, stabilize the hearts of the people in the city, and then think about searching for the culprits who incited the riot."

  Liu Qi, with his armor in disarray, immediately followed Liu Feng's advice and put on his helmet and armor, then rushed to the North Camp.

  On the way from Biyi to Beiyuan, several major streets have become chaotic. People are fleeing blindly, and some lawless elements are taking advantage of the situation to loot. From time to time, someone can be heard shouting that Cao's army has entered the city, while the fires in the direction of Beiyuan make the panicked crowd even more terrified.

  Beiying is located north of Xiakou City, where about three thousand Jiangxia soldiers are stationed. They are mainly responsible for the city defense of Xiakou and are also Liu Qi's main force. However, when Liu Feng and his men arrived at Beiying, they saw that this elite army, which made Liu Qi proud, was now in a state of chaos.

  Soldiers were running wildly everywhere, and officers were busy and unable to suppress them. More than a dozen barracks in different locations were ablaze with raging fires. The sounds of shouting, fire crackling, and horses neighing filled the air, making the soldiers who had already lost control of their emotions even more frantic.

  Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Liu Qi was shocked and pale, and he hastily grabbed a nearby military officer and sternly asked: "Where are the rebels? Why aren't you quelling the rebellion, what's all this commotion about?"

  "I don't know either, the whole camp is shouting about rebellion, it seems like there are rebels everywhere, the soldiers are all confused and we can't control them."

  Liu Qi questioned the officer, while Liu Feng held his breath and observed the surroundings quietly.

  As the officer said, what was heard by the ear seemed to be the sound of rebellion everywhere, but strangely, except for the soldiers rushing around, no signs of killing could be seen. If there were really rebels, they should have occupied Liu Qi's central army account first, and then taken advantage of the chaos to kill out of the military camp and seize the key departments of Xia Kou.

  With sword-like eyebrows, Liu Feng had already seen through the truth. He let out a cold hum and rode his horse to a nearby high platform with drums and music, holding his sword high and shouting: "General Liu has an order, everyone must stand in their original place without moving, anyone who dares to disobey will be executed on the spot as a rebel!"

  That high platform was over 20 feet tall, and Liu Feng's loud shout exhausted the energy of his dan tian, sounding as loud as a bronze bell, spreading out in all directions from the platform like ripples, and in an instant the entire military camp could hear it clearly.

  Liu Feng had been drinking for several times, and the effect finally began to show. The soldiers closest to him heard the order and started to stop their frantic running, standing in a daze on the spot looking around, while the more peripheral soldiers saw that their companions were not moving when they also stopped one after another.

  Liu Qi, who was standing under the high platform, made a surprising discovery. The chaotic scene that had just been giving him a headache and he didn't know how to suppress it, actually started to gradually calm down under Liu Feng's intimidation.

  Liu Feng on the high platform had eyes like torches, coldly scanning the surroundings. Suddenly, his sharp eagle eyes discovered something unusual. More than thirty steps in front of the high platform, when most soldiers were standing still, one soldier was still running back and forth, shouting loudly without stopping.

  Although he couldn't hear what the man was shouting, it didn't matter. He spurred his horse's belly and leapt off the high platform, like a whirlwind, instantly charging out over thirty paces.

  "Traitor, go die!"

  In the midst of a loud shout, that agile figure, like flowing clouds, rushed to the front of the soldier. A flash of snow-white light, and the sword that could cut through iron like mud, left a trail of swirling dust as it broke through the air.

  Then, a human head flew into mid-air.
