Chapter 16: Acting

There were no words all the way, and the three of them were not as excited as when they first came, but slowly arrived at the Taishou Mansion.

"My lord, we're in the Taishou Mansion." He Le interrupted Liu Yi's thoughts, Liu Yi glanced at Taishou Mansion and then dismounted and walked towards the gate, thinking about how to deal with Geng Cong along the way.

"Stop! Who are you? The doorman guarding the door stopped Liu Yi and them.

"I'm the newly appointed Taishou, and I'm here to see Lord Geng." This time, Liu Yi grabbed in front of He Le and spoke first, if it was He Le, he would definitely make the doorman unhappy and then have a cold attitude.

"The newly appointed Taishou-sama? Wait a minute, I'll go and inform Master Geng. The soldier muttered to himself, and then ran to the mansion to inform Geng Cong.

"Lord Liu, you're here, I've been waiting for a long time!" Geng smiled and walked out of the Taishou Mansion to greet Liu Yi, he got the news of Chang'an City a few days ago, and Liu Yi, the king of Guangling, was demoted to Xiliang as the Taishou.

"Hello, Lord Geng." Liu Yi stretched out his hand to shake hands with Geng Yi.

"Lord Liu, don't be in a hurry now, I will give it to Lord Liu in the future." Geng Wei still smiled, and he was secretly scolding in his heart, this greedy guy, I heard that he was corrupted and degraded, but he didn't expect that he was really a greedy person who asked me for benefits just after he came.

"Master Geng, what are you talking about?" Liu Yi asked Geng Contempt puzzled, he really didn't know what this Geng Contempt meant, he just wanted to shake hands.

"Pretend, you still pretend." Geng despised Liu Yi fiercely in his heart. Although he despised Liu Yi in his heart, he was still smiling on the surface, Liu Yi was also the Taishou of Emperor Han Ling, and he still had to give some face. It's okay if you don't give him face, the hearts of the soldiers and people in Hanyang City are here, and he doesn't need to be afraid of Liu Yi at all.

"Lord Liu, please sit in the house, and I will ask my subordinates to arrange a reception banquet for you." Geng smiled contemptuously and invited Liu Yi into the Taishou Mansion.

When he came to the hall of the Taishou Mansion, Liu Yi did not choose the Taishi chair at the highest place in the hall, but sat on a seat under the Taishi chair, Liu Yi still understands these political battles in ancient times, if he sits on the highest Taishi chair, Geng Yi will definitely be unhappy because this is too bad for him, he is the Taishou who has governed here for several years, and Liu Yi is a new Taishou who has just come without any contribution, even if Geng Cong obeys the generals and strategists below, he will not accept it.

"Lord Liu, why don't you sit in the highest position, you are now too guarded in this highest position, you should sit." Geng looked at Liu Yi who was sitting under the chair of the Taishi and said.

"Lord Geng, this high-ranking Geng should be sitting, Lord Geng has governed Xiliang for so long, and he has all the credit and hard work. And I'm just a newcomer, and I don't have any credit, if I sit in this highest position, I'm afraid everyone won't be convinced. After Liu Yi finished speaking, he glanced at the people below, these people were already hostile to Liu Yi, and when they heard Liu Yi's words, the hostility was much lighter. Guan Yu and He Le also nodded, and they appreciated Liu Yi's words.

"If Lord Liu says so, then I'll sit for a long time!" After Geng Cong finished speaking, he sat on the Taishi's chair, he also had a little good impression of Liu Yi, Liu Yi's words gave him face, and he also knew each other. If Liu Yi sat on the highest Taishi chair without looking at him, then Liu Yi would be sad in the future, and he would definitely not give Liu Yi a little face.

"Master Geng, let's talk about the current situation in Xiliang!" Liu Yi is very concerned about the situation in Xiliang, because he is afraid that Han Sui and Ma Teng will revolt, if they revolt at this time, and Liu Yi does not have a little power in Xiliang now, then it will be really internal and external troubles.

"Xiliang has not been affected by the Yellow Turban thieves, and he is still very stable, and the only thing that is unstable is the horse thieves in the counties." For horse thieves, Geng is very sad, these horse thieves come and go without a trace, and when they want to exterminate them, they have already run away and don't know where they are.

"Horse thieves are really hard to deal with, and I came across one when I came." Liu Yi said.

"Then is Lord Liu hurt?" Geng asked pretending to be concerned, and in his heart he was secretly scolding the gang of horse thieves for why they didn't kill Liu Yi and them.

"Can I still come to Hanyang even if I'm injured?" Liu Yi guessed what Geng Contempt was thinking, which was nothing more than scolding those horse thieves for why they didn't kill themselves.

"That's good." Geng Wei pretended to be relieved, pretending that Liu Yi was fine, but in fact, fools knew that he was pretending, it was too fake.

"Thank you Lord Geng for your concern!" Liu Yi also pretended to be grateful, but his appearance was very sincere, and fools generally couldn't tell it was fake, but the discerning person was an exception.

"Lord Geng, and the generals, come and introduce me to Xiliang!" Liu Yi glanced at Geng Contempt, and then at the generals below.

"Good!" Geng said hello, and then began to talk to his subordinates.

From the narration, Liu Yi saw a lot of actors who could win the Oscar, the Golden Horse Award, and the Golden Horse. Their accounts are half true and half false, and some people are cooperative. In order not to let Liu Yi know the situation of Xiliang so that he could grab Geng's position.

A group of actors played a scene for an afternoon, and waited until the reception banquet began before stopping work.

"Come, Lord Liu, let's all toast you." Geng Wei stood up and held up a glass of wine in their eyes.

"Okay, let's drink!" Liu Yi also did not refuse to come, he couldn't get drunk when he drank sweet wine, it was impossible for them to get drunk if they wanted to, he used to go clubbing and drink a lot, and now it is even more impossible for him to get drunk with sweet wine.

"General Guan, Master He is here to do it!" Through Liu Yi's introduction, Geng Yi also got to know Guan Yu and He Le. Guan Yu He Le didn't say anything, they also came like Liu Yi and did not refuse, they were all masters who could drink.

The reception banquet lasted until the evening, the dishes did not move, but they drank a few jars of wine, and Geng despised them, who wanted to get drunk Liu Yi, and they were so drunk that they lay on the table one by one, while Liu Yi and the three of them were not drunk at all.

"If you want to get us drunk, you get drunk first." Liu Yi looked at these drunk people and smiled, they all said that ancient people could drink, but they didn't expect to get drunk when they drank sweet wine, Liu Yi really thought it was funny.

"Come, second brother, master, I drank wine for a long time, the food didn't move, let's eat the vegetables and then go to sleep" Liu Yi finished speaking, ripped off a chicken leg and gnawed it, seeing Liu Yi eating, Guan Yu and they also ate.

After eating, Liu Yi took Guan Yu and them to his room and sat down, they gathered in one room not to make a foundation, but to hold a secret meeting while Geng Despised them were drunk, after all, the entire Hanyang City was controlled by Geng Contempt, and Liu Yi and the three of them were just a lone army.

"My lord, I can see today, they are all acting, what do you say to describe Xiliang to us, in fact, they are acting there." He Le said angrily.

"I saw it as soon as I walked in, but there was no way that this was their territory, so we had to take advantage of it." Liu Yi said.

"Then big brother, you have a way to control the entire Xiliang power, if you can't control the power, it is no different from a puppet." Guan Yu's sentence entered the key part.

"We have to take our time to control the power, and if we don't have real certainty, we have to rely on it." Liu Yi swung the shotgun on the table.

"Big brother, what the hell is this thing, I've seen it kill people a few times, and even I'm not sure I'll escape it." Guan Yu touched the barrel of the shotgun.

"That's right! What kind of weapon is this, the last time I saw it kill the horse thief, the horse thief died after a sound. He Le was very interested in shotguns, and as he spoke, he picked up the shotgun and fiddled with it.

Liu Yi looked at the confused two and shook his head helplessly.

"This thing is called a musket, and it shoots something called a bullet through the chamber of the gun, and this thing called a bullet is twice as fast as a bow and arrow." Liu Yi explained.

"Lord, isn't this a secret weapon?" He Le asked.

"Not really." Liu Yi touched the gun.

"Big brother, how can this thing hide?" Guan Yu asked again.

"People can't hide from this thing!" Liu Yi said.

"Lord......" ...... "Big Brother ......" Guan Yu and He Le asked Liu Yi endlessly. And Liu Yi was impatient after explaining for a while.

"Okay, don't talk about it, in short, I'll tell you, when we hold the power of Xiliang, we will make this thing, and then you will be the full person in charge, master." Liu Yi said.

"Okay, I'll make it seriously!" It's just an empty phrase now, but it won't be long before it happens.

"Alright, go and rest! If there is something to say tomorrow, be careful when you leave. After Liu Yi finished speaking, he sent the two out.

After sending the two away, Liu Yi lay on the bed and began to think about how to deal with Geng Cong.
