Chapter 15 Tit-for-tat

"Brother, let me introduce you to someone." Liu Pan came to Liu Qi, followed by a young man similar to him. He was heroic and revealing a little capable, but a little more stable than Liu Pan.

"This is Lv Jie, a descendant of Lv Gong." Liu Pan introduced it without waiting for Liu Qi to speak.

"Lv Gong?" Liu Qi was puzzled.

"Big brother knows General Wang Wei of the Flying Tiger Army. Lu Gong used to be the deputy commander of General Wang Wei, but he died unexpectedly in a battle. Because Lv Gong has a high reputation in the army, second only to General Wang Wei and General Wen Ping, everyone respectfully calls him Lv Gong. Liu Pan explained at the same time.

Liu Qi looked at Lv Jie and asked Liu Pan, "How is his martial arts?"

"Lv Jie's martial arts is no worse than me. We can't beat him after several times." Liu Pan said.

Liu Qi was relieved to hear this. Liu Pan is the master of competition with Tai Shici in the future. Lv Jie is similar to his martial arts, so he is not much different.

"In that case, you can follow me. From today on, you can be my deputy commander of the bodyguard. The house guards will be handed over to you and Zhengping, and my safety and the safety of the house will also be handed over to you. I hope you don't let me down." Liu Qi said to Lu Jie.

"Thank you for your kindness. I will live up to your expectations." Lu Jie was overjoyed.

"Brother, he keeps you safe. What should I do?" Liu Pan immediately didn't want to. Of course, Liu Pan didn't want to introduce himself and robbed his job. When Liu Pan saw that Ma Zhong became the bodyguard commander, he begged Liu Qi to be the deputy commander himself.

"Don't worry, you have more important things to do in the future." Liu Qi saw that Liu Pan was unwilling to comfort him.

Liu Pan listened to Liu Qi's words and was no longer angry. He sat down and chatted with Liu Qi. Lv Jie stood behind Liu Qi and obviously took the responsibility of the bodyguard.

"Brother, what are you chatting about?" When Liu Xiu came back, he saw Liu Qi and the two of them chatting happily. Liu Xiu also followed two young people. A man dressed in a Confucian robe reveals elegance, facing rosy and extremely handsome, but his eyebrows are all white, which seems to be incompatible with his appearance. The other person is also dressed in a Confucian robe, but his face is like a knife, revealing a silk of righteousness and righteousness, which looks awe-inspiring.

"It's okay. It's just chatting. How's the third brother doing?" Liu Qi asked.

"Brother, I'm fine. I'm recommending you the talent. It's the two of them." Liu Xiu pointed to the two people behind him and said.

Liu Qi was surprised. What happened to the two brothers? Recommend talents as if they had discussed it. Liu Qi didn't know that since Liu Qi disciplined the two last time, although they knew little about it, they all knew that Liu Qi was in a bad situation now. With the obvious limitations of the two to help Liu Qi, they discussed recommending a few talents for Liu Qi, and the two did not dare to recommend them casually. They chose one or two reliable people from the people they usually met and recommended them to Liu Qi.

"Ma Liang and Zhao Lei have met the eldest son." After Liu Xiu, the two bowed and saluted.

"Ma Liang, 'Ma's Wuchang, Ma Liang is the best', that's what you're talking about." Liu Qi glanced at Ma Liang and asked.

"It's all praised by others." Ma Liang said modestly.

"Ha ha ha, if you don't have talent, others won't praise you." Liu Qi smiled.

"Thank you for your praise." Ma Liang bowed and saluted again.

"Zhao Lei, well, although I haven't heard of it, since the third brother recommended it, I want to have a certain talent, otherwise the third brother will not be friends with you." Liu Qi looked at Zhao Lei. How could Zhao Lei and Liu Qi not have heard of it? He was the governor of Wu Sheng Guan Yu, and he was finally killed with Guan Yu. If Guan Yu is not so arrogant and listens to Wang Fu's words and let Zhao tired stay in Jingzhou, maybe Guan Yu will not die, Jingzhou will not be lost, and the battle of Yiling will not be defeated. The Three Kingdoms may have another ending. This period of history makes it a pity for Guan Yu in later generations.

"Thank you, Mr. Xie." Zhao Lei bowed.

"In that case, you can keep it in the house. I don't have an official position now, and I can't give you anything. I'm wronged to you. Liu Qi said with a smile.

"The prince is joking. It's our honor to follow him." Ma Liang said.

Liu Qi also believes that the two will not betray. After all, the conduct of these two people is quite good in history. Just now, Liu Qi also confirmed this, and the conduct of the two is really extraordinary.

Seeing that Liu Qi accepted it, Liu Xiu was happy that he could finally help his eldest brother.

Several people sat together and talked while drinking. Liu Pan and Liu Xiugang recommended talents. They were happy and even more excited and drank happily.

At this time, a man in a bodyguard's uniform quickly came in. He ran to Liu's surface and said, "Your Excellency, Gan Ning is outside asking for a good birthday. I don't know if the general will let him go, so I'm here to tell you."

"Gan Ning, but the Jinfan thief Gan Ning Gan Xing Ba?" Liubiao asked in shock.

"It's the Jinfan thief Gan Ning Gan Xingba." The bodyguard replied.

Liu Biao was meditating and obviously considering whether to meet Gan Ning. But the people below have already fried the pan.

"It's really Gan Ning, a Jinfan thief. I heard that Gan Ning burned, killed and plundered everything. How could he come here today? It's not going to make a scene at this banquet. You'd better go quickly, otherwise it won't affect the fish in the pond for a while.

"How did this killer come here? If you can't, you have to leave quickly."

"I hope Lord State Shepherd can suppress him."

Hearing Gan Ning's arrival, the people in the courtyard were like a god of plague, and they all planned to leave.

"Gan Ning." Liu Qi said silently. He has been very happy for a long time. How can he let Gan Ning, known as Zhang Liao of the State of Wu, let go? Be sure to attract it. Gan Ning, the character Xingba, served as a minor official in Shu County when he was young. Later, he was dissatisfied with Liu Yan's search for people's oil, so he assassinated Liu Yan, which was unsuccessful. If he defected to Liu Biao and was not reused, he turned to Huang Zu. He was still not reused. Because of his hatred with Huang Zu, he killed Huang Zu and defected to Sun Quan and got Sun Quan. After that, he broke Huang Zu's Chu Pass and attacked Cao Ren to take Yiling. Zhen Yiyang refused Guan Yu. He defended Xiling and got Zhu Guang. Sun Quan said, "Meng De has Zhang Liao, Gu has Gan Xing hegemony, which is invincible. Zhang Liao. Later, he attacked Cao Ying at night with more than a hundred horses, which can be said to be both wise and brave, and his achievements are outstanding. How can Liu Qi miss such a fierce general?

"Father, Gan Ning has been doing evil in Yizhou. He suddenly came today. I don't know what to do. It's not appropriate to meet him." Liu Jing stood up and said.

"It's ridiculous. My father is the lord of a state. Because he didn't know what his intention came from, he avoided him and spread it out to make his father's face. If you are afraid, just go back first." Liu Qi stood up and taught him a lesson. After saying that, he looked at Liu Biao and said, "Father, if you don't invite him in first, you will deal with it after you ask him. We just need to strengthen our defenses in the dark. In this public, I don't think he dares to play tricks.

Liucong's nose was crooked and he thought, "I bumped into evil today. Why is it always suppressed by him?"

Liu Biao looked at Liu Qi with relief for a while, and his eldest son considered him.

"How many people are there in Gan Ning?" Liu asked.

"It's just two people."

Liu Biao and the people in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief. After that, he looked at Cai Mao and asked for advice. Everyone looked at Cai Mao.

"It should be met." Cai Mao's simple sentence. Seeing that Cai Mao agreed, Liu Qi and Liu Kang's face was gloomy.

Liu Biao asked Ou Yue and Yi Ji again. Seeing them nodding, he said to the bodyguard, "Bell him in."

After a while, two people came in from the outside. First, each of them was dressed in brocade clothes, wearing a purple crown, a belt with silver silk around his waist, and gold shoes on his feet. When I walked, the light was shining brightly. The latter one is also extraordinary.

"Gan Ning met Liu Jingzhou and heard that Liu Jingzhou came to send a birthday gift today as a congratulatory gift." Gan Ning bowed and saluted Liu Biao. It is said that the person behind him has sent the gift and handed the gift list to the ceremonial officer.

The ceremonial official's eyes changed a little, and he settled down. The ceremonial officer said loudly, "Today, I heard that Liu Jingzhou's birthday, Gan Xingba specially sent four golden bowls, four pairs of golden chopsticks, four golden pots, ten strings of pearls, a hundred night pearls, and a hundred pieces of Kunlun Mountain jade."

The whole hall of the ceremony was silent. After a while, everyone reacted and talked about it.

"This Jinfan thief is really burning, killing and plundering. He has collected so many treasures, and I don't know how many people he wants to kill? What a sin!"

"Yes, yes, it was so rampant in Yizhou at the beginning, but now when we come to Jingzhou, we don't like Jingzhou, do we?"

"It's possible, otherwise why would you send so many treasures to Lord Zhou Mu? He must want to have a good relationship with Lord Zhou Mu in advance, so that Lord Zhou Mu doesn't care about his reckless behavior in Jingzhou in the future.

.........

"Cough, cough..." Liu Biao saw that the more he said, the worse he became. In the end, even he scolded him, so he coughed a few times and stopped people's discussion.

"Gan Zhuangshi, what does it mean to send so many gifts?" Liu asked.

"In the past, I did a lot of wrong things. Recently, I suddenly repented that there was no place to go. I heard that Liu Jingzhou's sergeant and Xingba came to be similar. These gifts are counted as my sincerity. I also hope that Liu Jingzhou can accept me and a group of brothers. Xingba is very grateful." Gan Ning bowed and said.

"Father, don't listen to him. Who knows what he thinks? If my father accepted him today and did something in the future, it would not tarnish my father's reputation. Liu cong drew a tiger path according to the cat.

"Father, I think we should accept them. Confucius said: Knowing mistakes can improve greatly. Today, Gan Zhuangshi knows mistakes and can correct them. Father should give him a chance. I heard that he is good at martial arts and is very loyal. If my father can reuse him, he will definitely open up a fissure for his father. I, Jingzhou, have a greater chance of winning against Sun Ce in the future. Liu Qi retorted as soon as he saw Liu Jing's disturbance.

"I don't believe that a dog can change to eat shit. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Who can guarantee that he doesn't have bad intentions? Who can take responsibility if something happens in the future?" Liu Cong said tit-for-tat.

"Then how can you guarantee that he doesn't really repent, so won't I, Jingzhou, miss the general again?" After saying that, Liu Qi said to Liu Biao, "Father, although Gan Zhuangshi used to burn, kill and loot, he only killed corrupt officials and only robbed those profiteers who were rich and unkind. From this, it can be seen that Gan Zhuangshi is a chivalrous and righteous person. Today, it is not impossible for him to know his mistakes and correct them. He also asked his father to believe him once and give him a chance. In the future, if he still does not repent, the child will kill him with his own hands. If he sincerely repents, it may be another good story in the future. This also shows his father's broad mind and desire for virtuousness. Those who have aspirations in the world will definitely come to Jingzhou before, so that we in Jingzhou will be full of talents, so that the princes of the world dare not commit crimes.

The young man who followed Yi Ji has been observing Liu Qi since he made "Water Tune Song Head". Now when he hears Liu Qi say this, his face is smiling.

"Father..." Liucong came forward.

"Well, I'm free to make a decision on this matter, Dekui, Jibo, what do you think about the abnormality?" Liu asked. Liu Qi, who wears a high hat, is very happy. Now even fools can see that Liu Biao has agreed to accept Gan Ning and ask them if it's just a formality. Who dares to object?

"We all thought we could accept it." The three bowed and replied.

"Okay, since Gan Zhuangshi knows that he can correct his mistakes, this state will give you a chance, but if you go back on your word in the future..." Liu Biao didn't say anything, but everyone knows what Liu Biao is going to say.

"I dare not, Xingba will definitely go through fire and water." Gan Ning came forward and said.

"Well, in that case, just take a seat." Liu Watch nodded.
