Chapter Sixty-Five: Time to Make a Move

  ♂?,,

  Although he only met with Pang Tong for just one day, when sending off this ordinary-looking eccentric, Liu Feng felt that his whole body was as comfortable as if the Ren and Du meridians had finally been opened up.

  However, the word left by Pang Tong and the reminder of "the opportunity will come" when parting ways are still a difficult problem.

  After seeing off Pang Tong, Liu Feng returned to his military tent and pondered over the "qi" written by Pang Tong. From dawn till dusk, he couldn't figure it out.

  "Big brother, I'm back." Ma Su, who had come in from outside, was covered in dust and snow on his raincoat.

  "This trip was tiring, come, first have a cup of hot tea to warm up your body." Liu Feng put down the silk book in his hand and personally poured him a steaming cup of clear tea.

  "Thanks, young master." Ma Xiao took off his rain cape, brushed the snow from his eyebrows, and downed a cup of hot tea in several gulps. He spat out a few mouthfuls of hot air, and his bright red face gradually returned to normal.

  After Ma Chao had a short rest, Liu Feng asked: "What's the reaction from the Xia Kou side?"

  As for Mi Fang's death, Liu Feng did not take it lightly, but instead specially dispatched Ma Chao to escort Mi Fang's remains back to Xiakou, ordering him to observe the situation and act accordingly.

  Ma Chao replied: "General Guan is in Shiyang, I didn't get to see him this time, but I did meet Mr. Mi Zhuo."

  "What's my uncle's reaction?" Liu Feng's nerves began to tense up.

  "Mr. Mei was naturally heartbroken, but that's all. When he left, he specifically instructed me to tell the young master to be extremely careful and not to follow in General Mei's footsteps."

  As for Liu Feng's reaction, he was not surprised. He knew that the so-called concern was just a pretence, but judging from his outward appearance, it seemed that Liu Feng had decided to swallow his anger and remain silent about his brother's death.

  Liu Feng now needs time the most, and Zou Jing's tolerance is naturally what he likes to see. With a slightly relieved heart, he asked again: "We have won such a big victory this time, can we bring back some rewards for the soldiers?"

  "All the military supplies from Xia Kou are managed by Mr. Mi. Mr. Mi said that in principle, we should be rewarded according to our merits, but for now, the war situation on the northern front is tense and military supplies are tight, so there's no extra to reward us." Ma Su shook his head and spoke, with a hint of disappointment in his expression.

  What kind of military capital is this, how many family properties does Liu Qi have in their hands, don't I know?

  Liu Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment, he knew that this must be Zou Jue's deliberate act, although he did not dare to say anything else about his brother's death, but he used the power in his hands to secretly make things difficult for him.

  "Hmph, whatever, let's see how long you can keep being so smug."

  Liu Feng suppressed his anger and coldly said, "This is also within my expectations. However, before I left, I instructed that if we can't get any rewards from our uncle, we can use my name to ask for some military funds from Brother Zi De. In any case, we cannot let the soldiers lose heart."

  Mentioning Liu Qi, Ma Su shook his head and sighed: "The young master doesn't know that when I returned to Xia Kou this time, I just knew that not long ago, General Yong De had returned from Fan Kou and taken over the remaining troops and military funds of Young Master Zi De. Now, Young Master Zi De basically has no power in his hands, and the young master is afraid that he can't let him again."

  So that's how it is.

  In less than three months, Liu Qi's entire family property was stripped away by his benevolent uncle. I wonder what kind of mood Liu Qi is in now. Even if he still trusts Liu Bei, at this moment, he should have seen the true face of that person.

  It's just a pity that it's too late for regrets.

  Although this result was already within Liu Feng's expectations, to be honest, for these few months, Liu Qi had indeed treated his younger cousin with great kindness, and it could even be said that Liu Qi was the only person in this world who treated him sincerely.

  So, for Liu Qi's current ending, Liu Feng had a few points of sympathy in his heart.

  'Liu Qi, oh Liu Qi, is a truly good person, only unfortunately born at the wrong time...'

  Just as Liu Feng was secretly sighing, his mind suddenly became like a sea surface covered by a stormy rain, in the midst of a dark and chaotic mess, a bright flash of lightning cut through, and the endless darkness between the sea and sky instantly cowered under that dazzling white light.

  "Liu Qi...... Liu Qi...... Qi——"

  On that handsome face, the blue veins appeared and disappeared from time to time. The knife-like eyes revealed excitement and excitement, as if they had grasped some truth in an instant.

  He suddenly rushed back to the case, and snatched up the silk book left by Pang Tong. In his bright eyes, he saw the character "Qi" reflected in them.

  "So it was, so it was, haha"

  Without any reason, the young master suddenly seemed to have taken a stimulant and burst into uncontrollable laughter, holding that "qi" character in his hands.

  "What's got you so excited, Da Gongzi?" Ma Xiao asked with a puzzled expression.

  Liu Feng was overjoyed, and a smile of sudden enlightenment floated to the surface. It wasn't until Ma Chao questioned him that he realized his behavior had been a bit too extreme. He forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart and laughed: "Nothing, I just suddenly thought of something funny. As for the reward, we can't let our brothers wait in vain. I plan to go to Xia Kou personally, and the military affairs of Lu Shan will be temporarily managed by you."

  Ma Chao suddenly remembered something and hastily said, "Fortunately, the young master reminded me, I almost forgot a very important matter. The lord has been preparing to return to Xiakou in recent days and ordered all generals, including the young master, to hurry to Xiakou to discuss military affairs."

  Liu Feng's eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Father is also going back to Xiakou from Chibi, could it be that there is some important decision that has not been made?"

  Ma Chao shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear about the specifics either, but it's said that Lord Cao is acting on Chancellor Zhuge's suggestion, and at the time, Chancellor Zhuge will also return to Xiakou from Chaisang. In my estimation, it's likely that the outcome of the Battle of Red Cliffs will soon be decided, and Lord Cao must be making plans for his next major move."

  Suddenly, Liu Feng thought of Pang Tong's farewell in the snow, and the words he left for him when he came back, saying that the opportunity was about to come, and he must grasp it firmly. Could it be that the summer mouth military meeting convened by Liu Bei is related to Pang Tong's hint?

  Liu Feng suddenly had a strange feeling, as if in the vast unknown, there was an invisible hand that inadvertently cut off the shackles of his destiny. And at this moment, he had a strong desire to break free from the constraints and fly high into the sky.

  It was an unprecedented excitement.

  Now that the time has come, it's time to take action.
