♂?，，

  Three days later.

  The rising sun's rays shot out a myriad of golden arrows, dispersing the dark clouds gathered above Xiaokou City, and after over a dozen days, they finally saw a good day.

  Covered with a layer of white snow, it's as if Xia Kou City has been laid out with a pure white duvet. The rising sun in the east uses her needle and thread made of light to embroider another layer of delicate golden edges on top.

  In the cool air, Liu Feng rode his horse to gallop in the empty streets and soon arrived at the governor's mansion. This morning, Liu Bei returned from Chibi to Xiakou and immediately ordered several high-ranking officials in Xiakou to gather for a meeting after returning to the governor's mansion without resting. At that time, Liu Feng was practicing in the morning, and as soon as he heard this news, he hurried over.

  Several horse-drawn carriages were parked outside the gate, apparently someone had arrived before him. Liu Feng dismounted and handed his horse to the guarding soldier, striding into the governor's mansion with big steps.

  Liu Feng had previously lived in the governor's mansion before departing for Lushan, but after Mei You took over some of Liu Bei and Kongming's administrative tasks in Jiangxia, he often came and went from the governor's mansion. Due to Mei You's suspicious nature, Liu Feng did not want to see his face, so this time after returning to Xiakou, he found an excuse and continued to live in the military camp.

  He had lived here for nearly a month and was more familiar with the layout. As soon as he entered the gate, he went straight to the council hall.

  "Ah Feng, long time no see."

  A cold voice came from a few steps away, and when Liu Feng looked around, he saw that Zou Shi was walking towards him from the corridor, his smiling face looking somewhat hypocritical to Liu Feng.

  "It's really a narrow road for sworn enemies."

  Before the rift, the play still had to go on. Liu Feng hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "It was originally Uncle, I don't know when he returned to Xia Kou?"

  Mi Zong stared at Liu Feng, narrowing his eyes and said: "I also just returned last night, Ah Feng, congratulations, the battle of Lushan, you have made great contributions, really gave our Liu family a good reputation."

  The words were congratulatory, but the tone was sarcastic and ironic. Liu Feng naturally heard the mocking intention behind them.

  "What merits or no merits, I can win that battle, but it's all thanks to my little uncle. Unfortunately, my little uncle... Alas! That hateful Xu Chu, one of these days, I will surely kill him to avenge my little uncle's blood feud."

  No matter whether it's tone or demeanor, Liu Feng's acting skills are much stronger than those of Zou Zhu, and to others, at this moment, Liu Feng appears to be a good nephew who is deeply grieved and indignant over his uncle's death.

  To be honest, Mei Fang's death was indeed a self-inflicted punishment, but Mei Zhu didn't think so. His sister's death had already made him suspicious of Liu Feng from the bottom of his heart, and his brother's death had further deepened this suspicion. At this moment, the more Liu Feng showed an innocent and sorrowful expression, the more Mei Zhu felt disgusted.

  "Afeng has this kind of filial piety, and Second Uncle's spirit in heaven will surely be comforted. This time, with the merit achieved at Lushan, both Uncle and Master are delighted, but Uncle still needs to remind you that building achievements is not important, what's important is being an honest person, and doing a good job of upholding the way of filial piety, understand?"

  Zou Yun's words were again hinting, but Liu Feng couldn't help but hear them. If it were before, Liu Feng would have been careful and cautious in his response. However, now Zou Yun's explicit expression of suspicion had fallen right into Liu Feng's trap.

  He scanned the surroundings, saw that there was no one around, and Liu Feng's humble expression suddenly changed. His handsome face showed a few hints of coldness, and he sneered: "Uncle doesn't need to beat around the bush, in fact, isn't it just to warn me to recognize my fake identity, be content with my status, and not compete with that Ah Dou for the throne in the future?"

  As soon as this was said, Mi Zhu's expression changed instantly, and a look of shock flashed across his face, which was full of wrinkles. Mi Zhu had indeed wanted to hint at warning Liu Feng, but he didn't dare say it outright due to embarrassment, but he never expected that Liu Feng would actually tear down this veil himself.

  “…Nonsense… I didn’t mean that at all.” Zou Zhu was taken aback, clearly having been seen through by Liu Feng, but now that the veil had been lifted, he hesitated and dared not admit it.

  When he saw that embarrassed look, Liu Feng couldn't help but laugh inwardly, and his tone became even more aggressive: "Uncle, you think I don't know about those little tricks you're playing? Humph, isn't it just that you suspect me of killing my mother at Changban Slope and trying to harm Adou? I really can't understand, Uncle is a learned scholar, how could you have such an absurd and ridiculous idea, aren't you afraid that saying it out loud will make others laugh their teeth off?"

  Liu Feng's words were already quite rude, and he was openly sarcastic to Mi Zhu. This unexpected move finally provoked Mi Zhu into a rage.

  "Afeng, how dare you speak to me like that! I'm your uncle, after all. Where's the respect?" Zou Zhu's breathing was rapid, his thin chest heaving violently, and his face had turned bright red with anger and shame.

  "Respect is mutual. If you want others to respect you, you must first respect others," said Liu Feng with a smile.

  This kind of childish tone and words thoroughly enraged Zou Jing, who pointed at Liu Feng's nose and scolded: "Liu Feng, you've finally shown your true face! I'll tell the master what kind of person you are. Let's see how arrogant you can be!"

  Liu Feng's mouth corners rose, revealing a sly smile: "Uncle, do you think I've gone crazy now? Even if I told Father, would he believe that his usually polite and courteous son suddenly became impolite and unreasonable for no reason? Heh-heh—"

  "——" Liu Feng was so angry that he didn't know how to scold him.

  Liu Feng burst out laughing: "I still have to go see Father, so I won't accompany Uncle in idle chatter, I'll leave first."

  Liu Feng swaggered away with a triumphant smile, leaving behind a furious Zou Jing who glared at his nephew's suddenly revealed "ferocious face", so angry that he almost spat blood.

  It was unknown how long he stood there, but Liu Feng had already disappeared without a trace. It wasn't until a cold gust of wind blew past that Zou Jia's infuriated emotions finally subsided slightly.

  Meng Zong's face gradually darkened, looking in the direction where Liu Feng disappeared, the intention of revenge in his heart gradually condensed: Hum, I didn't expect this kid to be so arrogant, it seems that I must not let that matter out first.

  In the secluded corner at the end of the corridor, Liu Feng's eagle-like gaze was quietly watching Mou Zhuo's changes, and he muttered to himself: "Old guy, it's time to get impatient and make a move, I'm waiting for you to pave the way for me."
