“…… Hey, wait, how is the font and appearance of this anthology exactly the same as the one below? ”

After Liu Qi said this, he found that Lu Ren was looking at himself with an idiot-like look, and his face couldn't help but turn red, but he didn't know what he was wrong.

Seeing that Lu Ren also glared at Liu Qi for a while, then he shook his head and sighed: "Eldest prince, I have been in Jingzhou for more than a month this time, and the literati inside and outside Xiangyang City dare to say that it is a big trouble, why do you seem to know nothing about me this time?" Also, this time, when I came with the boat to pass through Jiangxia, I stayed in Jiangxia for two days, but you were not in Jiangxia City during those two days. When I asked the doorman where the eldest prince had gone...... The eldest prince, no matter how you say that you are also the town guard of a city, and Jiangxia is an important defense town, how can you leave your position lightly, not only do you not even know where you have gone, but also run out for several days? ”

Of course, Liu Qi heard that Lu Ren's words meant to scold him for not being angry, and his face turned red again, but he also quickly explained to Lu Ren: "Lu Ren is to blame for shooting the wrong shot!" In fact, in those days, I went to Uncle Liu Huang, because I was afraid that the people of the Cai family would be prepared for it, so it was inferred that it was out of the city to hunt in the summer, and I didn't dare to tell everyone where I was going. ”

“……”

Liu Qi's response made Lu Ren lose his temper a little. It is said that in order to save his life, Liu Qi should have hooked up with Liu Bei, and he was just an additional person who came in. And he stayed in Yizhou for such a long time here, Liu Qi was panicked, of course, he wanted to find a way out, what else could he say about this kind of thing? Could it be that when you quarrel with a little woman, you yelled at Liu Qi, "You go to her, go find her"?

Shaking his head, Lu Ren didn't want to worry more about this kind of issue, so Liu Qi took a few more glances at the "Jingsheng Anthology" in his hand. Very puzzled, he asked Lu Ren: "Lu Servant, what is your intention in handing over this book to Zaixia?" ”

Lu Ren was a little speechless and said, "It seems that you really don't know what I have done in Xiangcheng recently......"

Now it's time to say a word for Liu Qi. In fact, Lu Ren's return to the Jingzhou area this time has only been a few days a month so far, and the printed effect that Lu Ren has created is only about ten days. Then the distance from Xiangyang to Jiangxia was nearly 300 kilometers, and with the backward communication conditions at that time, Liu Qi still couldn't figure out what was going on, and it was normal to get there.

On the other hand, Lu Ren quickly thought of this, and said in his heart that I was also a bit too much, and it was very much like an online game player who had hit the best equipment and was afraid that others would not know about it, and he would not be able to install 13. So Lu Ren no longer sold Guan Zi in this kind of matter, but explained the matter of printed products to Liu Qi. Then he asked Liu Qi: "Do you think this "Jingsheng Anthology" includes all of Ling Zun's articles?" ”

Liu Qi hurriedly shook his head. As one of the "Eight Jun" of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Biao's literary attainments are actually outstanding.

Lu Ren continued: "So this is the last retreat I have reserved for you. Think about it, will the mind of Ling Zun be satisfied with this collection of essays? ”

Liu Qi shook his head: "Of course not." ”

Lu Ren said: "So having said that, as long as there is no accident, Ling Zun will definitely be busy selecting his proud essays now, and is ready to ask me to help him print a new volume or several volumes when the time comes." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Ren smiled very sinisterly. Since ancient times, literati have paid attention to "writing books and sayings". And the publication of his own works in the world can have a fatal attraction for literati, especially for people like Liu Biao. So Lu Ren said with certainty that now he is waiting for Liu Biao's order.

And Liu Qi still doesn't understand these truths. He just asked hesitantly, "What do you mean?" ”

Lu Ren said with a smile: "If this anthology is going to be published in the world, then before it is printed, doesn't it need to be repeatedly compared and verified?" So if something goes wrong, you go to Ling Zun and tell him that you are worried that there will be a mistake when it is printed. I want to go to Yizhou to supervise the comparison and verification of the new anthology, so that you can go to Yizhou justifiably? And it won't drag me into the water. ”

Liu Qi suddenly realized, and hurriedly thanked Lu Ren again and again. But thank you for it. Liu Qi hesitated again: "Having said that, this kind of thing is conducive to fame, and it can get the favor of my father, so will the people of the Cai family get in the way?" ”

Lu Ren said with a smile: "When you asked for an order to guard Jiangxia, what was the attitude of the Cai family?" ”

Liu Qi said: "I am very much in favor." ”

Lu Ren shrugged: "Isn't this okay?" You were able to smoothly transfer Jiang Xia because the Cai people didn't want you to stay by Ling Zun's side; Now that you have become a bit of a climate in Jiangxia, the people of the Cai family do not dare to harm your life for the time being, so they will naturally have some other ideas. Now that I suddenly heard that you want to go to Yizhou, and there is such a legitimate and reasonable excuse, I think they still want you to go as far as possible, where will they say anything to stop you? As for pleasing Lingzun...... No matter how much you ask for it, can you change the fact that Ling Zun is ready to pass on the throne to Liu Cong? ”

Liu Qi understood it thoroughly, and then nodded to Lu Ren very hard.

Lu Ren said again: "But eldest prince, I still have to remind you, this is just the last retreat I have reserved for you, and you should not use it until you have to." Because once you followed me to Yizhou, you didn't have any hope for this Jingzhou matter. In fact, although you are in a lot of difficulties in Jingzhou now, it is not that you have no strength to fight, I will leave you this way out, just to let you rest assured and boldly fight hard. I guess you know what I mean, right? ”

Liu Qi looked at Lu Ren for a while, and then nodded silently.

It is said that Lu Ren naturally has his reasons for doing this, after all, no matter how you say it, Liu Qi is an indispensable and important factor in the Battle of Chibi, for example, if Liu Qi does not stay in Jiangxia, where can he run when Liu Bei escapes? And Sun Quan and Liu Bei reached an anti-Cao alliance, Jiangxia is an important transit point, and the soldiers and horses in Liu Qi's hands are very important negotiation capital when Liu Bei and Sun Quan form an alliance, so if there is no need, where does Lu Ren dare to move Liu Qi?

The two then talked about some details, and Lu Ren also gave Liu Qi some advice, and then Liu Qi left with joy. After Liu Qi left, Lu Ren secretly wiped his sweat and said secretly in his heart: "It's really a meow, I was almost caught off guard by this kid, but I really didn't expect this kid to suddenly come to me at this time." Fortunately, I reacted quickly and was a little prepared beforehand, otherwise it would have been a big problem. Well, let's see what this kid does. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

As Lu Ren expected, Liu Qi wrote a letter to Liu Biao immediately after returning to Jiangxia, saying that he wanted to help Liu Biao sort out the article so that he could publish a new anthology again in the future, and vaguely stated in the letter that if feasible, Liu Qi would go to Yizhou on behalf of Liu Biao to supervise the publication of the new anthology.

Liu Biao really supported Liu Qi strongly, and every once in a while he would send some books and manuscripts to Jiangxia, many of which were said to have been checked and annotated by Liu Biao himself. There were two times when Lu Ren went to Xiangyang City to visit Liu Biao, Liu Biao stayed in the study and was busy with those articles, and even took Liu Biao's attitude towards Lu Ren much better, and even sent people to send good gifts to Lu Ren from time to time to get closer.

As for Cai Mao's side, Lu Ren heard that Cai Mao and Mrs. Cai originally wanted Liu Cong to be involved in this matter, so as to make some benefits for Liu Cong, but when he heard that Liu Qi might go to Yizhou to supervise the printing, Cai Mao's gang immediately lost their voices, and just let Liu Cong also perform by Liu Biao's side from time to time. In other words, Lu Ren's prediction was completely correct, and Cai Mao's gang was very concerned about being able to drive Liu Qi out of Jingzhou.

It wouldn't be interesting to say more about these things, Lu Ren still had a lot of things to do when he came to Jingzhou this time, it was impossible to just hang around here in Liu Biao, and it was impossible to go back to Jingzhou immediately, so Lu Ren chose the commonly used trick of pretending to be stupid, running around in the Jingzhou area, and famously: looking for friends and visiting friends...... No one will stop Lu Ren.

So Lu Ren was just dangling like this, and no one noticed that Lu Ren was quietly taking a few followers and heading northeast......

――――――――――――――――――――

In front of the gate of Xuchang City, a carriage and two accompanying horsemen were stopped by the guard.

"Stop! Questioning! ”

The curtain of the car was lifted, and the face of a beautiful girl came out and said, "What's ahead and why do you stop?" ”

One of the two accompanying guards replied, "Second Miss, enter the city to investigate." ”

The girl nodded, and said to the doorman in front of the car window: "A few military masters, do you want the little girl to get out of the car to check?" He said so, but the girl's calm face clearly showed a bit of sadness.

Menbo glanced at the girl a few times, and then his heart was slightly shocked. In addition to the beauty of the girl in the car, the charm is by no means something that ordinary folk women can have. Looking at the gorgeous carriage and the girl's outfit and ornaments, if it is not good, the relatives and relatives of the big families in Xuchang City, where do they dare to offend? At that moment, he hurriedly bowed and said with a smile: "Don't dare to alarm Miss!" The villain is just a few routine interrogations. ”

When the girl heard this, she casually lowered the curtain and said: "Dalin! ”

The knight Dalin dismounted and said to the doorman: "Master Jun, we are from Juancheng, because the eldest lady is infected with a strange disease, and we have come to Xu Du to seek medical treatment." ”

As soon as the men heard that it was Juancheng people, they didn't dare to be careless, that was the place where Cao Cao lived when he raised his army, and now many of the families of Cao Cao's staff are still located there. The doorman who was just about to wave the way in the way smelled a burst of aroma coming from the car, which he had never smelled before, and hesitated for a moment and asked, "This brother, this fragrance ......"
