That night, Liu Qi, Xu Shu, and Pang Tong drank until the middle of the day, and then fell asleep together.

Early the next morning, Liu Qi got up, played five poultry scenes for a while, and practiced swords for a while, and then prepared to return to the bedroom, wake up Xu Shu and Pang Tong, and eat together.

At this time, Liu Qi found that Xu Shu had already woken up and was watching him practice swords with a smile, while Pang Tong had not gotten up at this time due to the young man's snooze.

Liu Qi looked at Xu Shu and said with a smile: "How does Mr. look at my swordsmanship?" Please also advise. ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Childe's swordsmanship is strong and powerful, and his moves are wide open and close, although he is a little unsatisfactory in terms of sword dance, but it is the most practical on the battlefield, and it must be created by a veteran who has been away from the battlefield for a long time." ”

Liu Qi nodded and said, "What Mr. said is extremely true, my set of swordsmanship is derived from General Banwenze. ”

"It turned out to be the swordsmanship of Cao Cao's account, no wonder there is such a heavy killing aura, but Yu Ban is a general under Cao Cao's account, how can Gongzi learn swordsmanship from him, isn't it?" Xu Shu couldn't help but be slightly moved, and said in surprise.

"Hehe, Mr. is right, General Yu Ban has been under my account, and now he is the captain of the right army under my account." Liu Qi smiled faintly, but there was a hint of triumph on his face.

"It turns out that this is really the case, then congratulations to the general, I heard that Cao Cao was full of praise for the ban and compared him to a good general of the ancients." Xu Shu was overjoyed and hurriedly said.

"Hehe, happy and happy, now I have Wei Yanwen Chang, Yu Ban Wen Ze, Wen has Mr. Xu, Mr. Pang, Pei Qianwen Xing, Wang Cang Zhongxuan, Sima Zhi Zihua, Fan Qin Hubo, and Mr. Xu and Wen Xing are both civil and military, Wen Chang and Wen Ze are all good generals in the world, and now it is not too much to say that I have a lot of talents under my account, if I can get my father's permission to go to Jingnan, I will be able to quell the rebellion and relieve the people of the four counties from the scourge of war."

Liu Qi laughed proudly, went into the house to wake up Pang Tong, who was still asleep, and after freshening up, they had breakfast together, and then said to the two: "Two gentlemen, please wait for the good news of so-and-so, with the help of Master Kuai, this time will definitely not disappoint everyone." ”

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he came to the State Pastoral Office.

At this time, Liu Biao, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Fu Xun, Liu Cong, Deng Xi, Liu Xian, Song Zhong and others had already gathered together, and everyone looked at Liu Qi and quietly did not say a word. Even Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, who are the most powerful, can't see a trace of joy and anger on their faces.

"Meet my father, and meet my lords." Liu Qi saluted everyone one by one, and his attitude was very respectful. However, Liu Qi didn't show how close he was in front of Kuai Yue, he just greeted him as simple as other officials, but he was unusually affectionate to Cai Mao, and he called his uncle.

"Haha, it turned out to be Qi'er, hurry up and be polite, I don't know if you're okay with your vacation these days?"

"Uncle's blessing, it's okay."

"That's good, that's good, this time there is a rebellion in the four counties of Jingnan, uncle, I recommended you to go to quell the rebellion, you won't blame me, an old man, for calling the shots, right?"

"Where, where? Nephew, thank you, uncle is too late......"

Liu Qi and Cai Mao chatted with each other, and they both tried to show their affection, and people who didn't know the inside story saw it and thought how close these two people were.

At this moment, Liu Biao coughed, and suddenly said: "Everyone also knows, now Changsha Zhang Xian rebelled, Guiyang, Wuling, and Lingling counties responded in groups, and all the land of Jingnan was owned by the traitors, and now we must send troops to exterminate the traitors and rebook Jingnan, yesterday the main book and the military advisor recommended the eldest son Liu Qi, do others still have different opinions?" ”

Liu Qi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, glanced at Cai Mao strangely, and saw Cai Mao smile lightly at himself, so he had no choice but to smile, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart, this Cai Mao really recommended himself to go to Jingnan, and he must have bad intentions.

But Liu Qi thought to himself that as long as he was careful, he was not afraid that he Cai Mao would make trouble from it, not to mention that Xiangyang and Kuai Yue were staring at Cai Mao, so there would be no problems, so he put his mind at ease.

And when those officials saw that the patriarchs of the two major families in Jingzhou recommended Liu Qi, they naturally had no opinions, and the scene was extremely quiet for a while.

Seeing this, Liu Biao said slowly: "Since everyone has no opinion, then this official will announce that Liu Qi will lead the troops to Jingnan to quell the rebellion. Where is Liu Qi? ”

Liu Qi hurriedly bowed down and said respectfully: "The last general." ”

Liu Biao saw that Liu Qi was not called a "child" but a "last general", so he couldn't help but nod and said slowly: "This official shows you as a general of Fenwu, Changsha Taishou, and the capital supervises the military of Jingnan, and orders you to lead an army of 30,000 to quell the rebellion in the four counties of Jingnan." ”

Liu Qi hurriedly thanked him, took the order talisman, and stood aside.

"What? Governor Jingnan Military! Cai Mao saw that Liu Biao had given Liu Qi so much power, and couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart, and secretly thought: "This Fenwu General and Changsha Taishou are just that, but the name of 'Governor Jingnan Military' is really too useful, although this name is not a fart for now, but once he regains the four counties of Jingnan, he Liu Qi can become the actual ruler of the entire four counties of Jingnan with this name, this is a whole four counties, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup the old man drank, and he was so willing." But let's wait for Liu Qi, a waste, to live until that day. ”

Cai Mao was dissatisfied, but at this time he was powerless to stop it, because he had just said too much, and he said that Liu Qi was his own guarantee, if he objected, not only would he not achieve any effect, but he would be bored in vain. had to forcibly suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said congratulations to Liu Qi with a smile.

Liu Qi knew that Cai Mao must be unhappy at this time, but he deliberately said: "This is thanks to my uncle's protection, I, Liu Qi, thank you for your help." ”

Cai Mao naturally knew that Liu Qi was deliberately disgusting herself, but she could only pretend to be happy and gritted her teeth secretly.

At this moment, Liu Biao suddenly announced the news: "Rank, there is a happy event in my house today to inform everyone, the little dog Qi'er has made a marriage with Ruyu, the daughter of Kuai Zirou, and now the three books have made a letter of appointment and a letter of ceremony, and the six rites have also stabbed Na Cai, ask for the name, Najib, Na Zheng four rites, and now the marriage contract has been set, there is only one thing left to marry, and after Qi'er pacifies Jingnan, the official will officially send a letter of welcome and marry Ruyu girl." ”

"What?" The news that Liu Biao suddenly announced, like a bombshell, immediately detonated the surrounding officials, who were all trying to judge the new form of officialdom through this news, and had determined Liu Biao's attitude towards the two families.

Before Liu Biao announced that his second son Liu Cong had made a marriage contract with Cai Mao's daughter, many people had already decided that Liu Biao was intent on abolishing Chang Liyu, but now Liu Biao announced the news that Liu Qi and Kuai Ruyu had made a marriage contract, which made them completely confused, and they didn't know which play Liu Biao Xiàn was singing?

"Could it be that Lord Governor's move is intended to contact the two clans at the same time? However, this will inevitably cause the two big clans to compete with each other because of the inheritance rights of the two sons, thus destroying the peace and stability of the entire Jingzhou situation. ”

Many of the subordinate officials are now silent, secretly thinking about their future way out.

"Liu Qi, a brute, when did he hook up with that girl from the Kuai family? Also, Kuai Yue, the old fox, kept it secret, and the old man didn't even reveal a little bit of his tone, how can it be reasonable? In this way, Liu Qi's waste is covered with Kuaiyue, and I am afraid that my plan will be more difficult to realize. ”

Cai Mao hated to tear Liu Qi to shreds in her heart now, but she still had to endure saying hello to Liu Biao and Kuai Yue, and then asked Liu Biao again: "Lord, the engagement between Qi'er and Ruyu's girl is so serious, why didn't I even get any news in advance?" ”

Liu Biao glanced at Cai Mao proudly, and said slowly: "I didn't know this in advance, it was the different degree that discovered that these two little guys were quite affectionate, so in line with the idea of fulfilling the **, I asked me for Qi'er's eight characters, after some inference, the two of them just matched, such as jade and Wangfu's appearance, so he proposed to the official to marry Ruyu Xu to Qi'er, the official saw that this was a good thing, and naturally agreed, so he issued a letter of appointment and a letter of ceremony, performed the ceremony, and set this marriage, because the matter was hasty, I didn't have time to tell everyone, this is indeed the official's. ”

This is not to blame Liu Biao for being proud, he used to marry the Cai family and win over the Cai family, but since then the relationship with the Kuai family has become a little estranged. This situation has always made him feel uneasy in his heart, and now Kuai Yue actually took the initiative to find himself and proposed to marry his niece to his eldest son Liu Qi, how could he not be happy in his heart? What's more, now the Cai family has faintly overridden the Kuai family because of his own relationship. Becoming a monopoly of the family, such a situation is definitely not what he wants to see, so Liu Biao immediately agreed to the marriage of Liu Qi and Kuai Ruyu, and at Kuai Yue's request, the marriage of the two was immediately decided.

This kind of speed will definitely not give the Cai family any reaction, otherwise, Liu Biao is really not sure if he will dispel the idea of marrying the Kuai family under the threat of Mrs. Cai's crying, making trouble, and hanging herself.

Cai Mao now knows that the matter is irreparable, so he has to follow Liu Cong's idea and secretly deal with Liu Qi, so that he can win the battle for the heir, but he knows that Kuai Yue is also an old fox, if it is more intelligent and scheming, even he may be slightly inferior, not to mention that Liu Qi is the eldest son, and it is not easy to defeat the other party.

"It seems that I have to find a way to get my sister to come forward, as long as she blows the pillow wind from the old man, and I will find a way to ruin the boy's reputation, so that I can win this gambling battle. Liu Qi, Liu Qi, although you are a young man, there are still many things you don't understand in this world, and sooner or later the old man will let you not know how you died. ”

Cai Mao's eyes turned out of a fine light, and quietly looked in the direction of Liu Qi, but found that Liu Qi was looking at him with a smile on his face, although his face was still respectful, it was not difficult for Cai Mao to see the mockery in the other party's eyes, and the anger in his heart was even more intense, and he decided to make good use of the opportunity of Liu Qi's southern expedition to get rid of this hateful boy who didn't know the height of the sky.
