In the early morning, Xiangyang City was shrouded in a vast white mist.
When Lu Xuan got up early for morning exercises, the visibility around him was not high, only about a foot away. During the morning exercises this morning, there was an extra person Huang Zhong. Lu Xuan, Zhou Tai and Huang Zhong practiced martial arts together, and Lu Meng still had a hard time reading in the morning.
After the morning exercise, Lu Xuan, Huang Zhong, Zhou Tai, and Lu Meng had breakfast and prepared to go to the Prefecture Mufu.
At this time, the red sun appeared in the eastern sky, and the golden morning glow dispersed the white fog. The weather soon became brighter. When Lu Xuan arrived, it was even more brilliant.
Lu Xuan got off the carriage and walked towards the Prefectural Mufu with Zhou Tai and Lu Meng.
At the gate, Liu Qi was wearing a brocade robe, a jade crown on his head, and a jade belt around his waist. He was handsome and handsome. Compared with Lu Xuan, he was still a little behind, but compared with others, Liu Qi was already outstanding.
When Liu Qi saw Lu Xuan, a joyful smile instantly appeared on his soft face.
He and Lu Xuan met very late. Yesterday, Lu Xuan took Zhang Zhongjing to rescue his father, and he was even more grateful to him. Due to these two reasons, Liu Qi looked at Lu Xuan more than he looked at his biological brother.
kind.
Liu Qi strode forward to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "Good brother."
Lu Xuan said: "Brother."
After the two approached, Liu Qi said directly: "Father said, let you and I welcome the guests. I just don't know if you are willing? Of course, the visitor is a guest, and you are also a guest. If you are not willing, then that's it.
"
"Of course I do."
Lu Xuan agreed directly without hesitation.
As a mere guest, it was definitely inappropriate for Liu Biao to ask Lu Xuan to receive the guests. However, Lu Xuan was in front of Liu Biao as a junior, and the two parties were close, so Liu Biao's arrangement was actually to build momentum for Lu Xuan.
Greeting people at the gate was an opportunity to use Liu Biao's name, which Lu Xuan couldn't ask for. With this relationship, Lu Xuan returned to Yangzhou, which was also helpful.
After all, Liu Biao is a deterrent.
Liu Qi stood next to Lu Xuan, with joy in his tone, and said: "Brother Xian, there will be many people coming today, including Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha, Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, Pang Degong of Lumen Mountain, Sima Hui, and
There are many famous people. You need to recruit talents and welcome these people well. This is your opportunity."
Lu Xuan said: "I have taken note of my brother's advice."
The two were chatting, and after a while, the attendant shouted: "Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, has arrived."
Lu Xuan followed the sound and looked.
A carriage stopped on the street, and a middle-aged man thirty years away stepped out.
It was Huang Zu.
He has a face with the Chinese character for "Huang Guo", a beard under his chin, a tall figure, and a powerful figure. He was born in the Huang family of Jiangxia, and was a powerful man in Jiangxia County. After Liu Biao established himself in Jingzhou, Huang Zu served as the prefect of Jiangxia and has been guarding Jiangxia County.
Huang Zu's eyebrows were sharp and he strode forward.
Liu Qi came up to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "Liu Qi, I have met Huang Taishou."
Huang smiled and said: "I have met the eldest young master."
Liu Qi pointed his finger at Lu Xuan, introduced Lu Xuan's identity, and said: "Brother Lu Xian, under the arrangement of his father, specially welcomes guests today."
Huang Zu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Liu Biao to value Lu Xuan so much. He smiled and said, "Prefect Lu is really young and promising."
Lu Xuandao: "Prefect Huang is very grateful."
Huang Zu did not stay and entered the mansion directly.
Liu Qi and Lu Xuan continued to welcome guests. Every time someone came, Liu Qi would introduce Lu Xuan's identity, and then specifically tell Liu Biao to arrange Lu Xuan's reception. Lu Xuan was quite moved when he saw Liu Qi taking the trouble to do so.
Liu Qi is actually a good person.
It's just a little simpler.
In some ways, these are wonderful people.
"Liu Pan is here."
The shouts came again.
Liu Pan strode over. He was less than thirty years old. He was tall, with sharp eyes and extremely fierce. At first glance, he looked like a capable general. When he was in Changsha County, he led Huang Zhong and others to suppress bandits. In just a short time
Within a short period of time, thieves and bandits disappeared, and they made great achievements.
Liu Pan is a person who is relatively good at fighting.
When he walked to the gate, Liu Qi took the initiative to salute and introduced Lu Xuan. Liu Pan looked over, landed on Lu Xuan, examined him, and asked, "Are you Lu Xuan?"
"yes!"
Lu Xuan answered directly.
He noticed Liu Pan's hostility, and Liu Pan's eyes were very unkind.
Liu Pan sneered and said: "Lu Xuan, take care of yourself. Be careful if your horse stumbles in Xiangyang and loses your life."
After saying that, Liu Pan strode in.
Liu Qi frowned and said, "Liu Pan is a very generous person. How come you have such an attitude when you meet Brother Xian? Could it be that Brother Xian provoked Liu Pan?"
Lu Xuan was thinking in his heart, and he thought of Huang Zhong.
There is no conflict between him and Liu Pan. The only problem is that Huang Zhong worked for Lu Xuan and now works for Lu Xuan.
After Lu Xuan thought about it, he said directly: "It's nothing. Maybe Liu Pan was busy at home and was depressed and wanted to vent his feelings, so he spoke like this."
Liu Qi was confused when he heard this.
Is Liu Pan such a person?
Why doesn't he know?
Liu Qi shook his head and didn't think too much about it. He and Lu Xuan continued to greet them, and many more guests came in one after another.
"Cui Jun has arrived."
There was another shouting voice.
Lu Xuan saw Cui Jun, who was wearing a large collared shirt and a large cloak, walking towards him. He stood motionless at the door and said, "Brother, there is no need to introduce me. Cui Jun and I know each other, and we have conflicts."
Liu Qi nodded in agreement, greeted Cui Jun, and waved his hand to invite Cui Jun into the house.
Cui Jun did not enter the house, his eyes fell on Lu Xuan, and he said mockingly: "Lu Xuan, you go wherever there is excitement, and you have to take advantage of everything. You can just go to Lumen Mountain.
Now even Liu Jingzhou’s birthday banquet comes to the gate to enjoy the excitement."
"I don't know whether I should say that you are a polite corporal who never misses any opportunity to recruit talented people, or that you are too shameless and don't care about the master's thoughts at all, so you just ran to the gate and stood there."
Lu Xuan said calmly: "Cui Jun, if you are able, come to the door to receive guests. Do you think my uncle will let you come?"
Cui Jun flicked his sleeves and sneered: "Who knows how you went about flattering me?"
"Shut up!"
Liu Qi was the first to scold.
Although he is easy to talk and has a gentle personality, Liu Qi values feelings and cherishes his friendship with Lu Xuan even more.
Lu Xuan was arranged by his father and was also his father's savior. He was also his good friend and could not be bullied.
Cui Jun is a famous scholar, so that doesn't work either.
Liu Qi flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Cui, Brother Lu Xian and I are directly appointed by our father to welcome the guests. If you have any objections and cannot accept it, I can only ask you to leave. You are not welcome in my Liu family."
Cui Jun's complexion suddenly changed.
Is this Liu Qi?
The weak Liu Qi dared to scold him?
He widened his eyes and said in a stern voice: "Liu Qi, you are an ignorant little kid, do you have such a lack of etiquette in treating Liu Jingzhou's guests? Corporal Liu Jingzhou Li Xian, when you come here, you will be domineering and domineering, and you will not treat any of the guests.
People see it in their eyes.”
"It is true that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to Mo are black. You are so close to a shameless person like Lu Xuan that you are led astray by Lu Xuan. I advise you to draw a clear line with Lu Xuan to avoid affecting Liu Jingzhou's
To clear the reputation, avoid affecting the reputation of the Liu family."
Liu Qi said angrily: "Cui Jun, the Lu family will not tolerate you running wild."
Cui Jun flicked his sleeves, raised his voice, and said: "It seems that the reputation of Corporal Liu Jingzhou Lixian will be destroyed today. Forget it, if you don't want to participate, I won't participate. I will just leave."
He was about to leave.
However, Cui Jun walked very slowly, and he was sure that Liu Qi would not dare to cause trouble. If Liu Qi targeted him on this occasion, it would affect Liu Biao's birthday.
When Liu Qi saw this scene, he felt that something was really going on. He hesitated and had scruples in his heart.
"Clown, what are you doing so slowly? You just walked away when you wanted to, and they didn't stop you. Are you lame in both legs, or are you unable to walk because your bones are so weak?"
