Early the next morning, Liu Qi visited Liu Xiu and Da Qiao and then set off for the Prefectural Mufu Mansion. Today Liu Biao convened everyone to discuss matters. Because it concerned himself, Liu Qi came a little early today. When he arrived at the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, there were only a few people.
Several officials.
Seeing Liu Qi, everyone who came into the hall rushed forward to salute Liu Qi. Liu Qi's methods in the past two days made these officials feel chilled. Even the Zhang family dared to touch him, let alone them.
Liu Qi returned greetings to these people one by one. After Yi Ji arrived, Liu Qi avoided everyone and talked to Yi Ji.
"Eldest Young Master, my lord summoned everyone today probably because of the Eldest Young Master's affairs. The Eldest Young Master must be mentally prepared." Yi Ji spoke first.
"Thank you for reminding me, sir." Liu Qi bowed his hands to Yi Ji as a return gift. After that, the two of them stood there chatting, and the officials who arrived one after another came forward to salute Liu Qi.
"call!"
The hall suddenly became silent. All the officials turned to look at the door. Zhang Yun was seen walking slowly alone. He seemed to have noticed the eyes of the officials above the hall. Zhang Yun raised his head and looked at everyone.
No one dared to look at Liu Qi. When they looked at Liu Qi, they both looked at each other coldly. Zhang Yun snorted and walked aside alone. Several Zhang family officials in the main hall hurriedly stepped forward to pull Zhang Yun away.
They gathered around and whispered.
Seeing Zhang Yun like this, other officials did not dare to come forward to look for bad luck. In the past, Zhang Yun came with Cai Mao. Today, Zhang Yun came alone, and everyone had some speculations.
"It seems that the Zhang family and the Cai family have broken up." Yi Ji looked at Liu Qi and whispered. Liu Qi could not help but cause the Zhang family to suffer heavy losses, and let the Zhang family bear this hatred on the Cai family. Liu Qi's methods
It was already a bit powerless for Yi Ji to arrive.
"Yeah, but the two families haven't reached the point of fighting each other to the death." Liu Qi knew that celebrity Cai Mao gave the Zhang family 100,000 gold yesterday. Although the relationship between the two families had some changes, it was not completely broken.
After Zhang Yun said a few words to the officials of the Zhang family, the officials of the Zhang family stood behind Zhang Yun and waited quietly.
"Zhang Yun is quite a character. It seems that we should be careful about him in the future." Liu Qi looked at Zhang Yun's every move. If people usually destroy people, they would definitely not be able to bear it after seeing their enemies. Not only did Zhang Yun not say any evil words
On the contrary, he was unusually calm, which made Liu Qi think highly of him. A biting dog doesn't bark, so Zhang Yun now gave Liu Qi the feeling that he was a biting dog.
While Liu Qi was stunned, Kuai Yue came in with people from the Kuai family. Liu Qi and Yi Ji looked at each other and stepped forward to greet Kuai Yue. Later, they saw Cai Mao and other officials from the Cai family arriving late.
Seeing Liu Qizheng and Kuai Yue chatting happily, the officials of the Cai family turned a little blue. When they saw Zhang Yun, who had always been respectful to Cai Mao, was sitting aside now, with no intention of coming forward to pay homage. They were all even more confused.
An angry one.
"Commander, this is such a big deal. Our Cai family just gave him one hundred thousand gold, and he treats you like this. He is really ungrateful." An official from the Cai family came forward and said.
"That's right, military advisor, you see Liu Qi is so close to the Kuai family, military advisor has to be on guard."
"That's enough, I have my own sense of discretion on this matter." Cai Mao shouted in a low voice.
Cai Hao and others entered the hall. Their eyes wandered between Liu Qi and Cai Hao. They didn't know whether they should step forward to greet Cai Hao. It would be terrible if Liu Qi thought they were officials of the Cai family.
At this moment, someone came to report that Liu Biao had arrived, and everyone returned to their seats to wait.
After a while, Liu Biao was seen walking in under the escort of guards. Behind Liu Biao was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. Liu Biao turned around and whispered to the middle-aged man from time to time. The officials above the hall were extremely confused.
Liu Qi looked at the middle-aged man behind Liu Biao and secretly guessed that this person might be Yuan Shao's envoy, but he didn't know why Liu Biao was so polite to Yuan Shao's envoy.
Seemingly noticing Liu Qi's gaze, the middle-aged man suddenly turned his head and smiled at Liu Qi, giving Liu Qi a meaningful look, which greatly puzzled Liu Qi.
"I have met my lord!" After Liu Biao sat down, everyone hurriedly came forward to greet him.
"Get up." Liu Biao said solemnly.
"Thank you, Lord." Everyone returned to their seats.
"I have summoned you here today because of Qi'er's departure from the city. How do you think we should reward him?" Liu Qi looked at the crowd and said.
"This..." Everyone looked at Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and Yi Ji, obviously waiting for them to speak.
After a while, even Liu Qi noticed something unusual. Cai Hao, who had been in tit-for-tat with him in the past, did not come out to object. Could it be that he was frightened by what happened the day before yesterday? Liu Qi looked at Cai Hao and saw that Cai Hao lowered his head and was even more confused.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yi Ji stepped forward and said: "To inform my lord, the eldest son, the eldest son of the lord, should stay in Xiangyang. Therefore, the lord still arranges an official position for the eldest son in Xiangyang. As for the reward, it is the lord who has the final say."
"Oh, what about you?" Liu Biao turned to look at the others.
"I obey my lord's orders." Everyone bowed.
"Okay, in that case, from today onwards, General Liu Qi of the Southern Conquest will serve as the deputy commander of the Feihu Army, and at the same time, he will serve as the deputy commander of the Feilong Army to control the military affairs in Xiangyang." Liu Biao looked at his master and said solemnly.
Liu Biao's words made everyone in the hall change their expressions. The Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Dragon Army were directly under Liu Biao. Now Liu Biao asked Liu Qi to serve as the deputy commander of both the Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Dragon Army. Doesn't that mean that Liu Qi will become Liu Biao's subordinate from today on?
The largest force, not even the Cai family can compare with it. With the two elite deputy commanders and Liu Qi's identity as the eldest son, who dares to question Liu Qi? Even Wang Wei and Di Di will not come out to question it.
Everyone in the main hall looked at Liu Biao in surprise, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. Even Cai Hao, Kuai Yue, Yi Ji and others also looked surprised, and Liu Qi on the side also looked surprised. What Liu Biao did today was really surprising.
It was beyond his expectation.
"What? Are there any doubts left?" Liu Biao said with a gloomy face.
"I obey my lord's orders." Everyone hurriedly bowed and said.
"In that case, let's stop here today. Qi'er can leave the others and leave." Liu Biao waved his hand for everyone to leave.
Seeing that he was the only one left inside, Liu Qi had no choice but to step forward and salute: "Father."
"Well, this is Xin Zuozhi, Yuan Benchu's envoy, and he is also my good friend. Please come and meet him." Liu Biao pointed at the middle-aged man beside him.
"I've met you, sir." Liu Qi saluted.
"Father Bi and I are good friends, you can just call me uncle." Xinpi said, waving his hands.
Liu Qi turned to look at Liu Biao and saw Liu Biao nodding before saluting again: "Uncle."
"Yes, I have heard about you. Jing Sheng gave birth to a good son." Xin Pi said with a smile on his face.
"Uncle, you are so complimentary." Liu Qi lowered his head and said.
"Haha..." Liu Biao laughed and clapped his hands.
I saw a group of dancers coming out, and at the same time, servants served food for the three of them. As the music played, colorful clothes danced, ribbons flew, and stunning women swam in the hall to the music.
"What on earth do father want to do?" Liu Qi looked at the dancer in front of him with a confused look on his face.
"Huh?" Liu Qi suddenly turned his head and saw a woman in white plain clothes among the dancers staring at him closely. Seeing him looking over, she smiled without any hesitation and became so charming that Liu Qi was fascinated.
seize.
"Huh, who is this woman?" Such a woman, with such a temperament, I have never heard of such a woman in the state pastoral government before.
Although the woman in front of him was beautiful, she was still not as good as Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. Liu Qi did not lose his composure when he saw Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. The woman in front of him was even less likely to make him fascinated. He took a deep breath and looked at it calmly.
He danced with the woman in front of him. All the dancers around him were wearing pink clothes, but this woman was wearing white clothes, which had to make Liu Qi confused.
Today, Liu Biao suddenly ordered him to serve as the deputy commander of the Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Dragon Army, and then left him and Yuan Shao's envoy alone. Now he was asked to watch the dancing girls. This was not like Liu Biao's behavior at all. The more Liu Qi thought about it,
The weirder it gets.
As if noticing Liu Qi's reaction, the woman suddenly turned and walked towards Liu Qi. The soft silk scarf slid over Liu Qi's face, and waves of faint fragrance hit her face. Liu Qi couldn't help but close her eyes.
"Huh?" Liu Qi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him. He saw that the woman's skin was as creamy as fat and her eyes were like crescent moons. Her face was charming but mixed with a trace of heroism, and her refreshing attitude was revealed.
"Such a woman is definitely not an ordinary woman." Liu Qi's eyes narrowed when he noticed the temperament hidden under the charming appearance.
"Zheng!"
As the music fell, the woman in front of him also slowly put away her dance steps and walked slowly to Liu Miao and saluted, "My little girl has met my uncle."
"Haha, okay, my virtuous niece is very knowledgeable and talented. I didn't expect her to be so good at dancing." Liu Biao burst into laughter.
After hearing Liu Biao's words, Liu Qi raised his head and looked at Liu Biao. Liu Biao pointed at the woman in white above the main hall and said to Liu Qi: "This is your uncle's daughter. You have come to see her too."
"It's father." Liu Qi stood up and came to the woman and saluted her: "Liu Qi has met Miss Xin."
"I've met the eldest son." The woman saluted with a generous smile, without any shyness or fear of ordinary women, which made Liu Qi even more confused about the woman's identity.
"Since you are here today, my father has told you that when you were five years old, my father made a marriage for you. She is your uncle's daughter. From now on, you must get along well with her.
In a few days, after discussing with your uncle, I will hold a wedding for you." Liu Biao pointed to the woman in white in front of him and said.
"What!" Liu Qi looked at Liu Biao in surprise, and then looked at Xinpi who was smiling at the side. Liu Qi finally understood why Xinpi paid so much attention to him just now. He was obviously looking at his son-in-law. This engagement was too sudden.
