Liu Qi was wearing an azure robe, standing in the courtyard, looking a little anxious. Liu Xiu's appointment as the county magistrate of Youxian County means that all of Liu Cong's energy will definitely be placed on him and targeted at him everywhere.

Since Liu Xiu defeated Sun Ren, Liu Qi's life has been very comfortable.

The reason for this is because Liu Cong gave up dealing with Liu Qi and targeted Liu Xiu everywhere.

A few months of comfortable life made Liu Qi feel easy.

Suddenly, Liu Xiu was about to leave Xiangyang, and Liu Qi was full of fear for his future days. Because of this, Liu Qi came to Liu Xiu late at night, hoping to find help.

"Crunch!"

The door opened, and Liu Xiu walked out.

When Liu Qi saw Liu Xiu, a smile appeared on his anxious face, and he arched his hand and said, "Third brother!"

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Big brother is polite, sit!"

The moonlight poured into the courtyard, and the two brothers sat around the stone table.

Liu Xiu was not in a hurry, poured Liu Qi a full cup of tea, and said with a smile: "The weather is hot, big brother drink a cup of tea first, and penetrate his heart." ”

"Thank you, third brother. ”

Liu Qi took the teacup, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and his eyes fell on Liu Xiu's body.

Liu Xiu said: "Big brother came late at night, is there something wrong?"

The look on Liu Qi's face became a little unnatural, but his eyes were anxious, and he said solemnly: "The eldest brother came this time to ask the third brother for help?"

Liu Xiu's mind turned and he understood.

As soon as he left, Liu Qi's situation was naturally very dangerous.

Obviously, Liu Qi is here to ask for help.

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Big brother said that as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely try my best to help my eldest brother." ”

Liu Qi said: "The third brother is about to leave Xiangyang, and the eldest brother is left in Xiangyang alone, and it is difficult to deal with it. Therefore, the eldest brother wants to ask the third brother, what should the eldest brother do?"

Obviously, without Liu Xiu's shield, Liu Qi was uneasy in his heart.

Liu Xiu paused for a moment and said: "The eldest brother actually has no need to worry about the second brother at all, the eldest brother is the eldest son, as long as the eldest brother does not make mistakes, no matter how favored the second brother is, it will not affect the eldest brother." Besides, as the eldest son, most of the officials in Jingzhou will be on your side, so why be afraid?"

In fact, Liu Qi occupies too many natural advantages.

The advantages of the eldest son are too many.

It's a pity that Liu Qi can't use it, and he was even frightened by Liu Cong.

Liu Qi shook his head and said vigorously: "No, with the continuous slander of Cai Junshi Zhang Yun and my mother, my father's impression of me is very bad." Now, my father almost doesn't care about me, and even I don't have much time to see him. After you leave Xiangyang, I will be targeted by them again. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Qi said solemnly: "Third brother, if you are willing to stay and help me, instead of going to Youxian." As long as my father returns to his life for a hundred years, I am willing to share Jingzhou with you after inheriting Jingzhou. ”

Liu Xianse said: "Big brother, please be careful." ”

Liu Qi said: "Third brother, everything I say is the truth, as long as you are willing." ”

Liu Xiu's ears came out as soon as he heard it.

Although Liu Qi is weak, he is not stupid.

Liu Xiu is not stupid, if he believes this kind of thing, then he is really a fool.

Liu Xiudao: "Big brother, let me tell you the truth, I don't have the intention of fighting for the inheritance of Jingzhou." I just want to live my life well. If you release Youxian County, you can further attack Yuzhang County, and you can run Youxian County by taking a step back, without looking at other people's faces. This is the day I want, please forgive me, I will not stay in Xiangyang. ”

Liu Qi's eyes were anxious, he stood up, knelt down with a plop, and said, "Third brother, please save me." ”

At this time, Liu Qi felt that he was in the dark and desperate. Liu Xiu didn't agree to stay, he was alone in Xiangyang, and it was difficult to resist Cai Mao and others.

Liu Xiu picked up Liu Qi and said, "Big brother, why do you have to do this? I said it, you have too many advantages, you don't have to be afraid of Liu Cong at all." ”

Liu Qi shook his head and said, "No, you don't understand." ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he knew that Liu Qi was completely scared, and he didn't dare to fight Liu Cong at all.

Liu Qi's eyes rolled, and he said: "The third brother doesn't want Liu Xiu Xiangyang, it's better to do this, I'll discuss with my father, and I'll go to Youxian County with the third brother." ”

In a word, Liu Xiu's face changed.

Liu Qi also went to Youxian, and the situation will be different, it will become Liu Qi as the main and Liu Xiu as the auxiliary.

Everything will evolve into Liu Xiu assisting Liu Qi.

The officials below will also have such thoughts, this is not a situation that Liu Xiu wants to see.

Liu Xiu said decisively: "It is definitely impossible for the eldest brother to go to Youxian. Father, it is impossible to agree. ”

Liu Qi grabbed Liu Xiu's hand and said, "Third brother, you are so smart, you must be able to think of a solution, you help me think of a way, what should I do?"

Liu Qi's voice was already a little choked.

Faced with the fear brought by Liu Cong, Liu Qi could not sleep at night.

Liu Xiu sighed lightly and said, "If the eldest brother is unwilling to face the current situation, there is a way. ”

"What's the solution?"

Liu Qi was overjoyed in his heart, and his eyes showed a look of expectation.

Liu Xiu said: "The eldest brother can choose to be an official like me. ”

After Liu Qi heard this, he thought about it carefully and said, "Do I also go out to serve as a county magistrate?"

Liu Xiudao: "Big brother, although I am the county commander of Youxian County, nominally, there is also a vacant position of Yuzhang County Taishou. The eldest brother, as the eldest son of his father, is released as an official, but he only serves as a county magistrate, which will make people feel that their father has abandoned you. Therefore, you have to serve as a county guard at least to have enough weight. ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he thought carefully, and then said to himself: "Changsha County, Lingling County, Jiangxia County, Nanjun and other places, there are candidates for the Taishou of each county. If I directly serve as the Taishou of a county, it will definitely cause turmoil, and the people below will not obey me. In addition, it may be very difficult for my father to transfer a taishou. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Actually, there is a place that is very suitable and very beneficial to the eldest brother. ”

Liu Qi let go of the hand holding Liu Xiu, clenched his fists, waved excitedly in the air, and hurriedly said: "I know that the third brother must have an idea, just say it, don't sell it." ”

Liu Xiu said: "Nanyang County is too guarded, this has always been vacant. The eldest brother can ask your father to let you go to Nanyang County to take up a post. ”

"Ahh

Liu Qi exclaimed, shivering with fright.

He hurriedly shook his head and said, "Third brother, don't harm me! Half of Nanyang County's territory is in the hands of Cao Thief, and I went to Nanyang County, didn't I just get out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth? No, this will not work. ”

Liu Xiu shook his head in his heart, Liu Qi has a generous personality, but his courage is too small.

I don't have the courage to do this.

If Liu Qi is in charge of Jingzhou, I am afraid he is not as good as Liu Biao.

Liu Xiu said with relief: "Big brother, although Nanyang County is dangerous everywhere, Nanyang County is too guarded by no one, this is your chance." Moreover, Nanyang County is defended by the garrison of the emperor's uncle Liu Bei, Liu Bei has rich combat experience, and he has more fierce generals such as Guan Yu Zhang Fei under his command, and with them, they will definitely be able to resist Cao Cao. ”

After a pause, Liu Xiu said again: "After my brother goes, I can rely on Liu Bei even more, and with the help of Liu Bei, I can form my own team and foundation to compete with the second brother, which is also the only opportunity for my brother to inherit Jingzhou." How to choose, it's up to you, brother. ”

After Liu Qi heard this, his eyes lit up.

Up to now, Liu Qi has never had a team under his command and cannot compete with Liu Cong.

If you have Liu Bei's support, the situation is different.

Liu Qi nodded and said, "The third brother's analysis is very reasonable, so it's done." As he spoke, Liu Qi stood up and arched his hand: "Third brother, don't thank you for your kindness, if you need help in the future, just tell your brother, and your brother will never shirk." ”

"It's late at night, the third brother rests early, and it's time for the brother to go back. ”

"I'm going to Youxian County, I wish the third brother a smooth journey. ”

Liu Qi bowed his hand, turned around and left the courtyard.

Liu Xiu looked at Liu Qi's departing back, and sighed lightly in his heart, Liu Qi is a good person, but unfortunately his personality is too soft. After he went to Xinye, Liu Bei had to rely on Liu Qi, and Liu Qi had to rely on Liu Bei, and the two sides complemented each other, but it was unknown who controlled whom
