Liu Biao took Liu Bei to the Thorn History Mansion in Xiangyang, and Liu Bei couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the large-scale and luxuriously decorated Thorn History Mansion. Liu Bei has seen big scenes, he once worked as a wealthy pastor in Xuzhou, and he has also been to Luoyang and entered the palace, so he has a certain understanding of the luxury of the world. However, the scale of the Jingzhou Thorn Mansion in front of him is almost comparable to the imperial palace in Luoyang, and the degree of luxury is higher than that of the wealthy Xuzhou.

Liu Bei squinted at Liu Biao, it seems that this old guy is not a safe guy, if it weren't for his age and strength, it is very likely that the battle for hegemony between the princes of the world would be another situation.

Liu Bei pretended to be a dirt bun and sighed: "Brother is so blessed, Jingzhou is outstanding and rich in products." The elder brother managed Jingzhou in an orderly manner. Little brother, I'm really envious. ”

Liu Biao looked complacent, Liu Bei said that he was in his heart, not to mention anything else, just governing Jingzhou, Liu Biao is indeed capable.

"Brother Xian, let's start talking." Liu Biao took Liu Bei into the mansion.

As soon as they sat down, several beautiful and obedient maids brought tea and fruits.

Liu Bei was stunned when he saw these beautiful maids, Liu Biao still had such a posture here, but he didn't know if Liu Biao was okay. Due to the bumps and displacement, Liu Bei is still a single dog, and the historical Mi family was forcibly pressed to Guan Yu by Liu Yu, and the Gan family has not appeared, Liu Bei has not experienced the taste of warm nephrite for a long time.

Liu Biao is a considerate person and knows that men have that kind of needs, so he said: "These are all singers who can sing and dance, if the virtuous brother does not dislike it, the virtuous brother will bring it back today." It's good to talk about the friendship of the landlord for the brother. ”

In ancient times, women had no status, especially singers, concubines, etc., and they did not have any right to refuse whoever the owner wanted to give it to.

Several singers sat obediently on their knees, waiting for Liu Bei's reply.

Liu Bei saw Liu Biao's expression that you understand, and he was not polite at the moment, and said: "What the elder brother gave it, but the younger brother was disrespectful." ”

"The virtuous brother is really a man of temperament, and he has the style of an ancestor." Liu Biao said with a smile.

Gaozu Liu Bang used to be a person who was full of wine and wealth, Liu Biao used this to describe Liu Bei, Liu Bei was secretly happy, he has always implemented Gaozu's benevolent and righteous style, of course, including the style of life.

At this time, a young man outside the door came in a panic, Liu Biaoyi looked at the person's face, and immediately said unhappily: "What kind of system is it to be so flustered?" ”

"The child meets his father, and he meets the emperor's uncle!" The young man hurriedly saluted.

"Don't be polite, don't be polite, please get up!" As soon as Liu Bei heard it, he knew that this was Liu Biao's son Liu Qi, because Liu Biao had two sons, and the youngest son Liu Cong was only a few years old, and the young man in front of him was only Liu Qi.

"Without the old man's orders, what are you doing here!" Liu Biao was very dissatisfied with Liu Qi's performance, and the panicked appearance just now was simply a shame for Liu Biao.

was scolded by Liu Biao, Liu Qi's face turned red, and he said nervously: "The child heard that the emperor uncle is coming, as the father's son, he must come to visit him, so as to show the child's filial piety." ”

Liu Qi said this, Liu Biao's face changed a lot, Liu Qi's behavior proved that his tutor was very good, and it also proved that Liu Biao would teach his son.

Liu Biao said to Liu Bei. "Let the virtuous brother laugh."

"The virtuous nephew treats Liu Bei like this, Liu Bei really can't help it. There is a jade pendant here, just take it as a meeting gift from Liu Bei to you. Liu Bei asked Liu Biao for help, and took out the only piece of jade pendant on his body and gave it to Liu Qi. Liu Bei's heart hurt to death, this is his only wealth, in order to please Liu Qi behind Liu Biao, Liu Bei can't be too stingy.

"This.... It's too precious. The little nephew should not accept this heavy gift. Liu Qi scolded Liu Bei for being stingy in his heart, just such a jade pendant can be eaten, thinking that he Liu Dagongzi has never seen any gold, silver and jewelry.

Liu Biao knew that Liu Bei was very depressed now, and there was nothing valuable on his body, and now this jade pendant should be Liu Bei's most valuable thing, and he knew that Liu Bei wanted to please him, so he fulfilled Liu Bei and said, "Given by the elders." Qi'er, haven't you read this book? ”

Liu Qi was scolded by Liu Biao again, and his mood became bad. Liu Bei was still holding the jade pendant, and Liu Qi felt that he might as well accept it.

"Little nephew, thank you Uncle Huang." Liu Qi took Liu Bei's jade pendant.

"It should be, it should be." Liu Bei said with a smile.

In fact, Liu Bei can see from the conversation between Liu Biao and Liu Qi just now that Liu Biao does not value Liu Qi so much, and Liu Bei feels that the future life of this eldest prince of Jingzhou Assassin should be very miserable.

What's more, although Liu Qi looks polite, he does a poor job in some details, and his face is a little pale, as if he is overindulged.

As a person from the past, Liu Bei certainly knows the mystery, and he also understands that there is a reason why Liu Biao doesn't like Liu Qi. Parents can't see that their children are not angry.

After Liu Qi accepted the gift, he was kicked out by Liu Biao. Liu Biao knows his son's situation, and it is very likely that he will be embarrassed if he continues to stay here.

"The virtuous nephew is personable, and the elder brother has a successor!" Liu Bei still patted Liu Biao's ass lightly.

Liu Biao was a little unhappy in his heart, there is a successor, do you Liu Bei want me to die sooner?

Liu Bei also discovered his slip of the tongue, and hurriedly diverted the topic and talked about other things.

Liu Biao and Liu Bei continued to talk about messy things. Liu Bei has been waiting for Liu Biao's arrangement for him, and has hinted at Liu Biao several times, but Liu Biao has talked about it left and right. Liu Bei was a little unhappy, Liu Biao was not happy to do things, and he always asked people to wait left and right. Liu Bei can't show the relevant meaning, otherwise he will be passive on Liu Biao's side, which Liu Bei doesn't want to see.

So Liu Bei continued to talk and laugh with Liu Biao, talking about benevolence, righteousness, morality and the general trend of the world.

Liu Biao also understood what Liu Bei meant, but now he wants to use Liu Bei as a leading bird, and he will not arrange Liu Bei casually, he still has his own plans.

The two talked for an afternoon, Liu Biao looked up at the sky, and said, "Look at me, it's not early." I'm old, and my memory is not good. The virtuous brother went back to rest first, and the elder brother had already arranged a resting place for the virtuous brother and his subordinates. ”

Liu Bei felt that Liu Biao was really not interesting, and if he didn't explain everything, he didn't even have a banquet.

"Little brother is leaving!" Liu Bei hid his dissatisfaction in his heart.

Liu Bei left Liu Biao's Assassin Mansion, and when he left, he also took away those singers, Liu Biao had already opened his mouth, and Liu Bei couldn't take it away if he wanted to.

Liu Biao had already prepared a place to rest, which was completely enough for Liu Bei and the others to rest. And the residence also prepared good wine and food, Liu Bei and the others were not afraid of being hungry.

Zhang Fei and others were very satisfied with Liu Biao's arrangement, and their impression of this Jingzhou assassin history skyrocketed. It's just that Wei Yan is still angry that he didn't pay attention to Liu Biao at the beginning.

As for the singers Liu Bei brought back, in line with the principle of sharing blessings and hardships, Liu Bei divided them all among his henchmen and brothers, and there was just one each.

Liu Bei knew that this was prepared by Liu Biao in advance, and it seemed that he had made a big fool just now.

Liu Bei chose one of the most beautiful, and let Zhang Fei divide the others.

That night, the Liu Bei frantically kneaded the singer's body. If he hadn't come to Jingzhou, he would have forgotten the joy of being a man.

Nothing was said all night.

On the second day, Liu Biao invited Liu Bei to come to the Assassin's Mansion again and apologize for not giving Liu Bei a clean sweep yesterday.

This time, Liu Biao called the civil and military forces of Jingzhou over.

Liu Bei thought that Liu Biao was going to openly arrange him to serve in Jingzhou this time, so he bathed in incense, and after being dressed under the service of the singer he brought back yesterday, he marched towards the Jingzhou Thorn Mansion.

And Liu Biao was already waiting for Liu Bei outside the gate.

Liu Bei got out of the carriage and immediately said movingly: "Little brother Liu Bei is late." Let my brother wait. ”

"It doesn't matter, my brother has just gone out. Brother Xian, let's go in and talk. Liu Biao said softly.

Liu Bei gratefully followed Liu Biao into the Jingzhou Thorn Mansion.

As soon as he arrived inside, Liu Bei found that the hall was already full of people, presumably Jingzhou's civil and military forces had arrived. They were now looking at Liu Bei with unkind faces.

Liu Biao smiled slightly, this is what he wants, and he will push Liu Bei out as a leading bird and block the gun for his son.

Liu Bei saluted the people in the hall, and only Liao Liao and a few people returned the salute to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei wrote down all the people who saluted him in return.

Liu Biao arranged Liu Bei in the first position under him, and after everyone sat down, Liu Biao said: "I let you come today because the world-famous imperial uncle Xuande Gong came to my Jingzhou." As the assassin of Jingzhou and a member of the Han family, I specially asked the imperial uncle to wash the dust. ”

Liu was shocked and said, "Brother, don't call Uncle Huang. The little brother is just a thin name, and he is not enough. Liu Bei came to Jingzhou and asked for your care. ”

Many of Jingzhou's civil and military forces watched coldly, waiting for Liu Biao to make clear arrangements.

Liu Bei was bored again, but this guy was extremely thick-skinned, and sat down again at the moment.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Biao said: "My Jingzhou soldiers are tired, and they have been attacked by Jiangdong and other princes many times. ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Jingzhou Wenwu finally knew Liu Biao's intentions clearly, he wanted to insert Liu Bei into the Jingzhou army. Many people have set their eyes on Cai Mao, who is now the governor of the Jingzhou army.

Cai Mao disagreed with Liu Biao's decision, and said: "My lord, my Jingzhou has always been stable, except for the threat from the north, the other princes are not to worry. Ben will ask himself how to govern the army, and he will not need others to come to help. ”

Cai Mao was slapping Liu Biao in the face, Liu Biao was immediately displeased, and shouted: "It seems that General Cai's power is even greater than that of the stupid assassin!" ”

"The last general didn't dare, but he told the truth. Lord, not everyone in Jingzhou can come. What can a man who has been defeated repeatedly bring me to Jingzhou? Don't be deceived by other people's rhetoric. Cai Mao really doesn't take Liu Biao seriously.

Liu Biao knew that Cai Mao would behave like this, which was also calculated by him.

"Hugh be unreasonable! I've made up my mind! Liu Biao said.

Cai Mao can only keep his mouth shut, Liu Biao, the old man in Jingzhou, even if he is powerful now, he is the second in the sky.

was drunk back by Liu Biao, Cai Mao drank sullenly, thinking about why Liu Biao is not dead now?

Kuai Yue, the head of Jingzhou's civil officials, fell into deep thought, Liu Biao's actions today are a bit abnormal, I'm afraid there is a plan.

"Brother Xian, Brother Wei wants you to be in charge of the military administration of a county in Jingzhou, I wonder if Brother Xian can serve Brother Wei?" Liu Biao asked Liu Bei.

Of course Liu Bei was willing, he opened his mouth to speak, but Cai Mao, who had been drunk back just now, jumped up again and said, "Lord, it's very impossible!" ”

"Why not?" Liu Biao asked rhetorically.

Cai Mao was speechless for a moment, he just wanted to stop Liu Biao just now, but he didn't come up with any good reason.

Cai Mao hurriedly wanted to make a look, but they had an ally relationship with each other, so Cai Mao wanted to ask him for help.

Kuai Yue really took Cai Mao, and jumped out without thinking of a good reason, is it a pig's brain. However, Kuai Yue also had to take care of the good situation of harmonious relations between the Jingzhou family, so he came out and said: "My lord, the officials at all levels in Jingzhou are complete, and I am afraid that there is no position to arrange Uncle Liuhuang." ”

"That's right, there are enough officials at all levels in Jingzhou!" Cai Mao also reacted.

"Not really!?" Liu Biao asked with squinted eyes. He would not believe that such a large Jingzhou would not have a vacant position.

"Xiangyang, Jiangling and other counties all have Taishou in power. They were all so conscientious that they could not think of any vacancies in office. If it is a government position below the county level, there is a place that needs to be guarded. It's just that place that I'm afraid that Uncle Liu Huang won't want to go. Kuai Yue said.

"What kind of official position is it?" Liu Biao touched his beard, his eyes kept looking at Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, these two people are really united in common interests.

"The garrison of Xinye County, Nanyang County, died of a violent illness, so there is still such a vacancy in Jingzhou. Xinye County is the most important gateway to the north of Jingzhou, and its location is sandwiched between Liu Yu and Cao Cao, which can be described as a three-sided enemy. "Kuai Yue means that Xinye is very dangerous, and you Liu Bei will not go, so he will say that there is no vacancy.

At the same time, Kuai Yue had another purpose, even if Liu Bei was going to Xinye, he just drove Liu Bei out of the core area of Jingzhou. I didn't see other Jingzhou civil and military forces who understood Kuai Yue's intentions, and they all cast admiring eyes at Kuai Yue.

Liu Biao knew that this group of people had reached a consensus, and it was a little embarrassing for him to be an assassin, Xinye was just a small city, and if Liu Bei was allowed to go, I am afraid that Liu Bei would be unwilling. When the time comes, where will Liu Biao's face go?

"Brother Xian, what do you think?" Liu Biao asked Liu Bei what he meant.

Liu Bei said impassionedly: "Although Liu Bei is not a hero. But Liu Bei has never been afraid of words. As long as his brother needs Liu Bei, Liu Bei will go to the soup for his brother! ”

Liu Biao is very pleased with Liu Bei's decision, it seems that Liu Bei is really serving him.

"Okay, for my brother, I will take the order of Jingzhou Thorn History, and now appoint Xuande Xian as the general of Xinye to guard the northern gateway. The Shinno Mansion Treasury is used by the virtuous brother at will. Liu Biao handed over the power of the entire Xinye to Liu Bei.

"The elder brother is too good to the younger brother." Tears flowed from the corners of Liu Bei's eyes.

"I'll leave it to you!" Liu Biao asked people to bring the big seal of the Xinye garrison and carefully handed it to Liu Bei.

"Hmm!" Liu Bei nodded firmly.
