Chapter 10: Chasing Xu Shu under the moon
"Good!" Sima Hui nodded and smiled, and ordered the boy to fetch a pen and paper.
Liu Qi waved, and the pen went to the dragon and snake in one fell swoop:
Golden scales/Is it a thing in the pool, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds.
The Nine Dragons roared and changed dramatically, sweeping away the wolf smoke and reviving the Yan Han.
"Good, good, good calligraphy, good words!" Sima Hui originally looked indifferent, but after seeing it, he was moved, and said angrily: "Gongzi is really a dragon hidden in the quagmire." ”
Although Liu Qi's performance in politics is extremely poor, he is the son of the Liu family after all, and he has Liu Biao, the leader of Shilin, and has a deep literary attainment.
Especially after arriving in Xiangyang, he was taught by many famous people, and the calligraphy was taught by Handan Chun, and the seal script, cursive script, and official script have become famous.
"Mr. has won the prize!" Liu Qi got up and hugged his fists and said: "The war in Jingzhou is about to start, and it is not the best policy for Mingzhe to protect himself, how can there be eggs under the nest?" In the future, I will go to Xinye to settle people's hearts and say goodbye. ”
Sima Hui groaned slightly, and said: "Shan Fu rode away on a donkey this morning, presumably not out of Xiangyang yet, if the son goes to catch up, he may be able to catch up." ”
Liu Qi was overjoyed and said, "I don't know which way he went from?" ”
Sima Hui said: "Go out to the northwest and enter Jingshan, there is a mountain road that can lead directly to Zhonglu, and Shan Fu will cross the river and go north." ”
"Thank you sir for your advice!" Liu Qi asked Xu Shu to dress up, bid farewell to Sima Hui, and find a way to catch up after leaving the village.
Seeing that Liu Qi did not hesitate to enter the mountain, Sima Hui stroked his beard and smiled.
"Jingzhou is not peaceful, Mr. instructed the eldest prince to enter the mountain alone, if something happens, wouldn't it be a big mistake?"
At this moment, a person walked out of the side door, seven feet tall, with a scarf robe, a sword hanging from his waist, and a slight frown.
Sima Hui turned around and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yuanzhi, this road leads directly to Zhonglu, which is the place where my friends come and go, and the territory is stable." ”
It turned out that this person was Xu Shu, and sighed: "Now that Uncle Liu Huang is dead, the master is hard to find, and he has no intention of serving Liu Biao anymore, Mr. should not lie to him." ”
Sima Hui returned to the village and took the letterhead written by Liu Qi to Xu Shu: "Yuanzhi, please take a look." ”
Xu Shu took it, and then remembered the conversation between the two just now, and praised again and again: "Golden scales/Is it a thing in the pool?" Wonderful ......"
Sima Hui said: "Fang Cai Liu Qi entered the mountain regardless of the danger, which shows the intention of seeking talent, since he is here for Yuan Zhi, why not test it again and make a decision?" ”
Xu Shu realized that Sima Hui was deliberately tempting, and asked, "Liu Qi has left, how can I catch up with him?" ”
Sima Hui stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Out of the village to the south can go straight to Tanxi, Yuan Zhi crosses the river by boat, and it only takes two hours to go to Zhonglu, but the night road is a little dangerous." ”
Xu Shu pressed the sword and laughed: "Xu is a sword in the rivers and lakes, why not be afraid of the night road, I will leave immediately." ”
Liu Qi chased into the mountain, it was already dusk, and seeing that it was not early, Huang Zhong persuaded him to return early.
Liu Qi looked calm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Hansheng, since Mr. Shui Jing pointed out this road, there will be no danger." ”
Huang Zhong was puzzled: "How can you see it? ”
Liu Qi said with a smile: "Since he knows the changes in Xiangyang, he should understand the current situation, and according to common sense, he should persuade me to return to Xiangyang." But he pointed me into the mountain, just to tempt, if there are really three long and two short, wouldn't he become a sinner in Jingzhou? ”
Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I have also heard of Mr. Shuijing, and I really wouldn't do such a stupid thing." ”
Liu Qi said: "Shuijing Villa does hide the dragon and crouching tiger, and it requires talent, what is the pain of running around?" It's not that I'm not sincere enough, it's just that I should cooperate with his performance, and I just try my best to perform. ”
Huang Zhong seemed to be puzzled, the group chased after him for half the night, the bright moon rose in the east, the mountain wind was howling, and there was no one along the way, Huang Zhong couldn't help but persuade Liu Qi to turn back.
But Liu Qi was sure that Xu Shu must be in a corner ahead, chasing one mountain col after another.
Until the moon was in the middle of the sky, suddenly there was a loud singing voice in front of me, which was very clear to hear in the silent mountains of the four fields.
"As I expected!" Liu Qi perked up and urged him to step forward.
Turning the mountain beam, sure enough, under the shadow of the moon, a person rode a donkey with a sword on his back, holding a gourd in one hand and drinking and singing:
“…… Xiamen will collapse, and it will be difficult to support a tree.
There are virtuous people in the valley, and they want to cast themselves into the Lord......"
Liu Qi crossed the man and blocked him on the road, seeing that he was still calm, he nodded secretly.
"Your Excellency walks deep in the mountains at night, aren't you afraid of strongmen haunting and killing people for money?"
The man grabbed the wine gourd and laughed: "For decades, only I can kill people, and no one can kill me." ”
"What a big breath!" Huang Zhong chased after him with a little anger, and sneered: "You sang all the way, isn't it to strengthen your courage?" ”
"Don't be rude!" Liu Qi dismounted and hugged his fists and said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it Shan Fu?" ”
"Oh?" The man was stunned for a moment, and said with a light smile: "I don't know a few people here, how do you know my name?" ”
Liu Qi said: "In Liu Qi, I saw Mr.'s letter, chased him to Shuijing Villa, fortunately Mr. Shuijing's guidance, and came non-stop, and respectfully asked Mr. to return to the city." ”
"You are the eldest son of Liu Yuanjun?" Xu Shu was taken aback, hurriedly got off the donkey, and said: "If you don't say goodbye without saying goodbye, it's really because your intelligence is not enough to be competent for the affairs of the state and county, please forgive me." ”
Liu Qi said: "My father has been seriously ill recently, and he can't be a director, and he doesn't know Mr. Talent. Uncle Huang was victimized by Cai Mao, and was entrusted by him to revive the family business and support the Han family. ”
Xu Shu shook his head and said: "Gongzi is falsely praised, he is only a person who lives in the rivers and lakes, he has no talent to learn, and he is ashamed to be in the vegetarian food corpse position in the house, how dare he stay any longer?" ”
Liu Qi sighed: "Since I came to Jingzhou, I was not accustomed to the water and soil, resulting in illness and depression, and because of my stepmother Cai's family, I often had the intention of murder, but the son did not say anything about his parents' mistakes, so he had to take revenge for the emperor's uncle. ”
Xu Shu sighed softly: "I can't imagine that the son is also the most filial person!" ”
Liu Qi knew that Xu Shu was filial, and what he wanted was this resonance.
Immediately said: "However, Cao Cao has the intention of swallowing Jingzhou, and Sun Quan will attack Jiangxia more than once, just like the song of Mr. Fangcai: The building will collapse, and it will be difficult to support a tree." In the shallow wisdom of the next, you still need to rely on the power of Mr. ”
Xu Shu smiled and said: "I can't talk about the world's affairs?" ”
Liu Qi bowed and said: "In the past, Gaozu didn't know Han Xin, and Xiao Heyue chased after him and opened a big Han foundation. Now my father doesn't know Mr., so he took the liberty to chase him, and I hope that Mr. will help me protect Jingzhou and Xinghan Chamber, and uphold justice in the world. ”
Xu Shu saw that Liu Qi was full of sincerity and foresight, and finally made up his mind and bowed down:
"I heard Liu Mu's good and evil for a long time, and I wanted to procrastinate, and when I saw each other, I just wrote a book on the scriptures, and I was determined to keep myself, so I listened to the words of the eldest prince from the bottom of my heart, and was willing to serve my life."
Liu Qi was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to change a horse for Xu Shu, and the group rushed back to Xiangyang.
Along the way, he didn't mention family affairs, but only learned from Liu Bei lamenting the decline of the Han family, scolding the traitorous ministers for being in charge, and pitying the people for suffering.
It shows Liu Bei's entrustment and guidance, as a member of the Han family, he can't watch the country sink, and he must achieve a great cause, revitalize the dynasty, and support the Han family.
When he came to the city, it was already dark, and he ordered someone to arrange for Xu Shu to rest, and he rushed to Xinye to prepare troops tomorrow.
Seeing Liu Qi hurrying to the mansion again, Xu Shu sighed: "There are birds in the south, and if they don't fly, they will soar into the sky; If you don't make a hit, it's a blockbuster! ”
