(Thank you for your reward and the evaluation of the famous brother)

What Jiang Gan held in his hand was a letter of recommendation, showing the recommendation of Marquis Sun Quan of Wu as the pastor of Yangzhou.

Didn't you Cao Ying want to use the hand of the imperial court to separate my relationship with Sun Quan by appointing me Liu Feng as the pastor of Yangzhou? That's good, I'll ask for the surname to show Sun Quan as the pastor of Yangzhou, in this way, how much heart I Liu Feng has for you Sun Quan, naturally everyone knows it, no matter how deep your Cao Ying's means are, it will be cracked

Ma Tan's strategy is indeed clever.

Jiang Gan looked at this table and was stunned for three seconds, and then he closed the silk book, glanced at the young Ma Yan, and said with emotion: "I can't imagine that under General Liu, such a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, no wonder even Liu Xuande can't help you." Well, I will present this to the court. ”

"Thank you, sir, then." Liu Feng bowed, and his bright face was filled with heroism and confidence.

At this time, Liu Feng no longer dragged Jiang Gan, and sent him out of the city for ten miles before returning to Linxiang.

When I returned to the Zhennan General's Mansion, night was falling, and it was already the time when the lanterns were hung high.

In the political hall, Liu Ba and the officials have not yet dispersed, and it seems that they are all waiting for Liu Feng to give them a reasonable explanation.

"Lord, is Angel Jiang gone?" As soon as he entered the door, Liu Ba was the first to come forward and ask.

Liu Feng just smiled and nodded, went straight through the officials, sat on the main seat, looked around at the suspicious faces, Liu Feng waved his hand and said, "Young Chang, you can explain to you why I refuse to accept the order." ”

Now that Ma Jian has reached the age of twenty, it is exactly what Liu Feng had speculated before, and the words given to Ma Jian by the Ma family members are the same as childhood.

Ma Tan then walked to the hall, cleared his throat, and loudly explained the cause and effect of this official incident. The officials present, although not necessarily all of them are wise and wise people, but they are also sensible people, Ma Jian said the stakes in this way, everyone suddenly realized, and the doubts in their hearts were all released.

Most of the people's faces showed a look of happiness, glad that their lord had a far-reaching vision, and was not tempted by the small profits in front of him, but mistook the big profits of the entire group.

There is only one person, but his mood seems to be quite low.

That person is naturally Liu Ba.

With Liu Ba's wisdom, it is not that he can't see through Cao Ying's methods, but the reason why he chose to be loyal to Liu Feng at the beginning was not so much to value Liu Feng's ambition as to help Cao Ying deal with Liu Bei.

It was precisely because of this that he had a preconceived idea that the holy decree sent by Jiang Gan was Cao Ying's sincere desire to win over Liu Feng to deal with Liu Bei.

When the truth was exposed, Liu Ba realized that in Cao Ying's eyes, Liu Bei was not the only enemy, and Liu Feng was not worthy of being co-opted by Cao Ying, at best, he was just a chess piece that could be used.

He Liu Ba, it's the same.

After Liu Feng explained his approach, all the officials dispersed, but Liu Ba still lingered, Liu Feng knew that Liu Ba had something to say.

Sure enough, when the last person walked out of the hall, Liu Ba stepped forward and bowed deeply, and said ashamedly: "I was confused for a while, and I almost caused the lord to fall into the trap by mistake, please punish the lord." ”

To be honest, Liu Feng was really unhappy with Liu Ba's "confusion" before, thinking that he was "in Liu Ying's heart in Cao", but now with Liu Ba and other self-confident celebrities, he was able to pull down his face and admit his mistake to himself, and this performance alone was enough to make Liu Feng relieved.

Liu Feng hurriedly helped Liu Ba up and said with relief: "Sir, you are also bent on helping me deal with Liu Bei with the help of Cao Ying, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Feng's magnanimity made Liu Ba feel a lot better, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "Although Cao Mengde is a hero, it's a pity that his scheming is too deep, if he can really win over the lord and deal with Liu Bei together, the harvest will be immeasurable, but it's a pity that he only treats the lord as a chess piece that can be played with at will, but in the end, the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Liu Feng looked relaxed, and said lightly: "This is not unusual, Cao Ying's family has a big business, and he dominates most of the world, and I only have two counties in my hands, in his eyes, I can only be a chess piece that can be used and discarded." ”

Strength determines status, and the reality is so cruel.

"Although the Lord's strength is weak at the moment, please rest assured, I, Liu Ba, will definitely do my best to assist the Lord, and one day, the Lord's Guild will become the overlord that Cao Ying is afraid of!"

Liu Ba is expressing his attitude of being loyal to himself.

Listening to his sincere words, Liu Feng's heart couldn't help but feel a little moved.

On the same day, after sending Jiang Gan away, Liu Feng instructed Ma Jian to send people to Jiangdong to let out the wind, and spread the word that Liu Feng not only sternly refused to accept the appointment of the imperial court, but also showed Sun Quan as the pastor of Yangzhou.

Liu Feng's above table is to show Sun Quan his heart, so naturally he can't hide his armpits, and this kind of hype is just to spread it to Sun Quan, so that his future eldest brother can rest assured.

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed, and Linxiang City finally has another happy event.

After many efforts by Guiyang Taishou Ma Liang, he finally found Zhang Ji Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor who lived in seclusion in Lingnan, who was originally a famous doctor who closed his eyes and wrote books, studied medicine, and did not want to ask about the world, but when he heard that the person seeking medical treatment was Liu Qi, he still decided to come to the rescue.

After more than half a long journey, a special team sent by Ma Liang finally escorted Zhang Zhongjing to Linxiang safely.

At this time, Liu Qi has been ill for a long time, and his condition has deteriorated a lot compared to when Liu Feng first saw him, his body has deteriorated, and the whole person is as thin as skin and bones, and he looks like he is dying.

Zhang Zhongjing also has the demeanor of a doctor, as soon as he entered Linxiang City, Liu Fengben first set up a banquet for him to receive the wind, and after a little rest, he asked him to treat Liu Qi's illness. However, Zhang Zhongjing put the patient first, and he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, so he asked for Liu Qi's immediate consultation.

An hour later, this medical god with white hair and a lot of fairy bones turned out of the ward, and his expression was still a little tired of the journey.

"Mr. Zhongjing, how is my brother's condition, but is he still saved?" Liu Feng, who was waiting anxiously, asked impatiently.

Zhang Zhongjing sighed softly: "Liu Zhoumu's illness is in the five internal organs, and there is no cure at all, all the old man can do is to try to control the deterioration of his condition and prolong his survival time." ”

Although Zhang Ji's words were cruel, Liu Feng was actually mentally prepared, with the medical level of the current era, Liu Qi was so ill again, and it was a blessing in misfortune to be able to delay his death.

Liu Feng took a deep breath and asked silently, "But I don't know how long my brother can live." ”

Zhang Ji stretched out his hand and raised his fingers slightly, "Two years at most." ”
