Afterwards, Liu Qi explained some things about the wedding before letting everyone leave.
After leaving the study, Zhuge Liang glanced at Zhao Yun who was listless, chuckled and said: "Why, are you unhappy about what happened just now? Or do you feel uncomfortable that the lord spent so much effort to recruit you, but ignored you?
"
In the study, everyone's attitude towards them was fine, but Liu Qi just introduced Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun to everyone and ignored them. Zhao Yun felt a little disappointed, and nodded when he heard Zhuge Liang's question and said nothing.
"Haha, my lord certainly has his reasons for doing this, why do you need to do this?" Zhao Yun said with a smile.
"But I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. I originally thought that since my lord sent someone to find me from Changshan, I would definitely be used in my lord's favor, but I didn't expect this to be the result." Zhao Yun smiled bitterly. If it weren't for Zhuge Liang, he might not have been able to do it.
I was about to leave Xiangyang, I had so much confidence but it turned out to be so disappointing.
"Do you know the identities of the people in the study?" Zhuge Liang sighed.
"Aren't they all the lord's subordinates?" Zhao Yun asked doubtfully.
"Yes, they are all my lord's subordinates, but they have all gone on battles with my lord and have made military exploits, and you and I are just newcomers. If my lord faces me in front of so many people,
The two of them are treated with great courtesy, so what will other people think? You have to know that some of them do not have any actual official positions yet, but the lord appoints me two as the military advisor of the Feilong Army and the commander of the Feihu Guard, what will they think after knowing this.
It is not easy to gain the approval of others. If the lord is more affectionate to me and me than others, it will make other people jealous and hate me. It will be even more impossible for us to take office. The lord is doing this for
We reduce trouble."
Zhuge Liang sighed somewhat, saying that the art of controlling people is the most difficult to control, and the slightest carelessness will cause the people under his command to fall into internal fighting. The fact that Liu Qi is so cautious also shows that Liu Qi is extraordinary.
"This..." Zhao Yun looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise. He didn't expect that a small move could be so important. The two of them had no foundation when they came here. Wouldn't it be difficult for them to move forward if they were squeezed out by others? Thinking of Zhao Yun's dissatisfaction with Liu Qi
He also disappeared completely, and he also had a sense of respect for Liu Qi. He silently controlled the emotions of his subordinates, which was simply terrifying. If Gongsun Zan had such means, he would not let his subordinates get separated.
They dispersed and were eventually defeated and killed.
"Besides, my lord has already made an announcement before this wedding. It is the time for you and me to take the lead. As long as we both make contributions to the wedding, then the appointment of the two of us will be justified and no one can change it."
Zhuge Liang glanced at Zhao Yun thoughtfully. In fact, Liu Qi had another intention that he did not say, that is, even if Liu Qi knew that Zhao Yun had complaints in his heart, he would persuade Zhao Yun for Liu Qi. This showed that Liu Qi trusted him, but this was the only one.
Zhuge Liang was indeed touched by this small move. He was the military advisor of the Feilong Army, and Zhao Yun was the commander of the Feilong Guard. As long as he had the intention to unite with Zhao Yun, he might be able to control the Feilong Army to rebel against Liu Qi. Liu Qi did this because he completely trusted him.
"Thank you, sir." Zhao Yun said with a happy face. Fortunately, he met Zhuge Liang, otherwise he would have missed the opportunity.
"This is my lord's wisdom." Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said.
"Don't worry, sir. If anyone dares to make trouble at the wedding, let him taste the power of the spear in my hand." A sharp light flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, and he obviously truly recognized Liu Qi.
"Let's go to the school grounds first. Everyone should be there by now." Zhuge Liang said and walked towards the school grounds.
The school grounds were already full of distinguished guests. Everyone with some status in Xiangyang City had arrived. Even Liu Biao and Xin Pi had already taken their seats. The seats of Liu Biao and Xin Pi were at the end of the red cloth that ran through the school grounds. The two of them were sitting there.
Seated on the left side of the red cloth in front are the prominent figures in Xiangyang City, while those on the right side are the envoys of various princes, seated in order according to the strength of each prince.
The first person was Xun Wenruo, the envoy sent by the emperor in name. Just before Xun Wenruo left Xudu, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie issued a belt edict, but Cao Cao took this opportunity to uproot the last bit of Emperor Xiandi's strength. Now Xudu is no longer
No one supported Han Xian Emperor, so Cao Cao could be said to have no worries.
However, Liu Bei escaped from Xudu and occupied Runan not long ago, and his power developed rapidly. After Cao Cao killed Dong Cheng and several others, he was already gathering troops to attack Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also joined Yuan Shao in the north to fight against Cao Cao.
Although Xun Wenruo looked calm, if you look carefully, there was a touch of bitterness in the corner of his eyes. Although he assisted Cao Cao, he still had some hope for Cao Cao, hoping that Cao Cao could return power to the Han Dynasty after he unified the world.
But now it seems that it is impossible to achieve. Cao Cao has rebelled against the sudden increase in power, and he can't stop it. Although Cao Cao knows what he is thinking, he pretends not to know. This time Cao Cao ordered him to come to Xiangyang to let him go.
He inquired about Jingzhou's reality and took the opportunity to sow discord between Jingzhou and Jiangdong to prevent Jingzhou from attacking from behind.
With Dong Cheng and others being executed, Xun Wenruo no longer had any hope for the Han Dynasty. At this time, he felt bitter in his heart but no one could explain it. He could only take one step at a time. He had already seen that all the princes in the world did not want to be the emperor.
, even if Cao Cao is killed and someone else replaces Cao Cao, he is already ready to follow the trend.
Next to Xun Wenruo was a burly man with a big waist and a muscular face. He looked quite arrogant. At this time, the man looked around with disdain, as if he didn't take the people around him seriously. This man was
It was Xu Chu, the bodyguard that Cao Cao sent to Xun Wenruo on this trip. Cao Cao knew that if the instigation was successful, someone might attack Xun Wenruo, so after thinking about it, he sent out Xu Chu, his personal general who was known as the Tiger Fool, so that even if
Even if something unexpected happens, Xu Chu can protect Xun Wenruo from leaving.
Xun Wenruo was following Jushu, the envoy sent by Yuan Shao. Jushu came to Xiangyang to win over Liu Biao to form an alliance and jointly attack Cao Cao. Jushu also held a high position under Yuan Shao. It was he who provided the plan that enabled Yuan Shao to gain control over Jizhou and Qingzhou.
, Bingzhou, the four continents of Youzhou, became the most powerful princes in the world, and later suggested Yuan Shao to use the emperor to control the princes. Although he was blocked and excluded by the examiner and others, Jushu's status in Yuan Shao's army was still very high.
Sitting next to Jushou was Gao Lan, one of the four famous generals in Hejian. He was not only strong in martial arts but also good at using troops. Gao Lan was extremely disgusted with the fighting under Yuan Shao's men. When he heard that Jushou came to Xiangyang, he offered to accompany him for protection.
Yuan Shao sent him to Xiangyang on the one hand to protect Jushu, and on the other hand to demonstrate Yuan Shao's strength and put pressure on Liu Biao so that Liu Biao could form an alliance with Yuan Shao as soon as possible.
Next came the envoys from Jiangdong, Zhang Hong and Taishi Ci. These two people came to Xiangyang on Sun Ce’s orders to cause trouble. Liu Qi had robbed Sun Ce’s fiancée, so naturally he would not let him marry them so easily.
Even if it can't be stopped, Liu Qi will still be in trouble.
Then came the envoys from other princes, including Ma Teng, Liu Zhang from Yizhou, and Liu Bei from Runan. Although these people are not as famous as the previous few, they are still extraordinary.
The envoys sent by Ma Teng were his son Ma Xiu and general Pang De, the envoys sent by Liu Zhang were Zhang Song and Wu Lan from Yizhou, and the envoys sent by Liu Bei were Jian Yong and Liao Hua. Although these people stated that they were not as powerful as the previous few.
Prominent, but everyone sat quietly without any panic, which shows that they have extraordinary talents.
Sitting on the right side were Cai Mao, Yi Ji, Kuai Yue and others, followed by Xu Shu and a group of Liu Qi's subordinates. People on both sides of the red carpet looked at each other and thought about how to get the maximum benefit.
Benefit.
Not far away, Huang Chengyan and others were sitting with smiles on their faces, looking at the people on both sides of the red carpet. Their eyes revealed excitement.
"Haha, with so many talented people gathered here today, I'm afraid there's going to be a fight between dragons and tigers." Huang Chengyan grabbed the wine glass on the table without caring about his appearance, drank the wine in one gulp, and laughed.
"That's right, but your son-in-law is here today, which makes me a little surprised. Liu Qi actually took all the sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks under his command without saying a word. This method is really clever." Sima Hui looked at it in surprise.
Zhuge Liang was sitting quietly next to Xu Shu. It was he who gave Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong the title of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix. Unexpectedly, they were both recruited by Liu Qi, but there was no news about them.
"You two old guys knew about this, but no one informed me. You sincerely make me worry." Sima Hui suddenly turned his head and looked at Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong, laughing and scolding. He was still worried about the situation in Xiangyang these days, although he was not involved.
Political affairs, but he couldn't see Jingzhou being embarrassed. These two people knew that Liu Qi was preparing but did not communicate with him. He was really angry in his heart. However, these people have been friends for decades, so he naturally knew that they would not hide it for no reason.
he.
"It is indeed a coincidence that my nephew returned to Xiangyang a few days ago, and Liu Qi arrived shortly afterwards. After the two of them had a conversation, my nephew followed Liu Qi and left. I haven't seen him yet.
There is no trace." Pang Degong smiled bitterly. When Pang Tong left, he asked him not to spread the news, so he did not send anyone to inform Sima Hui.
"It's no wonder we are here. My son-in-law only came to Xiangyang a few days ago and said he was attending Liu Qi's wedding. Yesterday, Liu Qi came to my house and convinced me within an hour. I still haven't thought about the reason.
Understood." Huang Chengyan asked Zhuge Liang about this matter after Liu Qi left yesterday, but Zhuge Liang did not mention this matter at all, which really made him a little depressed.
"So, I'm afraid there are some things we don't know about this." Sima Hui thought deeply, how could Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang be so amazingly talented that they could be subdued by Liu Qi with just a few words.
"Look, the wedding has started." One person pointed at the venue and said with excitement.

I just found out yesterday that someone has set up a forum for this book. I went in and saw that there were very few people on the forum. You can go and take a look. This book is divided into parts. I don’t know when it will be put on the shelves, but you still have to be prepared. Once you add it, go to the forum.
Look, there is a link to the public chapter post bar, but it seems that no one has done this yet! I hope everyone can make the post bar more lively!!
