Chapter 155 Huang Chengyan (Thank you for the reward and update of the Starry Sky)
Outside Liu Qi's house.
Near noon, Liu Qi stood on a horse in military uniform. At this time, Liu Qi was wearing white armor, wearing a long sword at his waist, and the shadow horse under his body was even more heroic. Liu Qi is Gan Ning on the left and Wang Yi on the right, followed by nearly a hundred flying tiger guards.
"Master, everything is ready. Are you leaving now?" Gan Ning sat down and immediately hugged his fist and asked.
"Oh, where's the third brother?" Liu Qi looked at Gan Ning. Liu Xiu had never been to the state pastoral office alone. How could Liu Xiu miss such a big thing?
"The third son came with the news that Mr. Yiji asked him to follow Mr. Yi to the state pastoral government." Gan Ning Road.
"In that case, let's go." Liu Qi nodded and patted the horse first. Liu Qi also guessed a little about Yi's intention. He probably wanted to take this opportunity to introduce Liu Xiu to his friends and also build momentum for himself. In this way, even if he leaves Xiangyang again in the future, there will be someone in Xiangyang on his behalf.
The group went along the street to the Zhou Mufu. On the way, they met officials who also went to the banquet from time to time. When they saw Liu Qi, they hurriedly avoided both sides and made way for Liu Qi. Even the officials of Cai Mao's department were the same. It can be seen that Liu Qi's current voice.
Although Liu Qi used to be the eldest son of Liu Biao, he did not have an official position. Now Liu Qi holds military power for General Zhengnan, and no one dares to be careless.
"General Zhengnan is arriving!" As soon as Liu Qi and his party arrived at the State Pastoral Office, a ceremonial official shouted loudly at the door, which attracted all the officials on the side.
Liu Qi jumped off the horse with a calm face, nodded slightly to the ceremonial official at the door and took Gan Ning. Wang Yi walked in.
As soon as Liu Qi left, the door exploded.
"What a great momentum of General Zhengnan."
"Yes, it's too different from the previous weak image. It seems that General Zhengnan has changed a lot in the past few months."
"It seems that the army is still the best place to train people. Liu Jingzhou has a successor.
When everyone talked about it, they saw a luxurious carriage coming, surrounded by soldiers and heavily guarded. The curtain of the car was gently lifted, and Cai Mao, dressed in gorgeous clothes, came out. Hearing the comments of the people around him, Cai Mao narrowed his eyes and silently walked out of the car.
"Military division, Liu Qi has gone in just now." As soon as Cai Mao got out of the car, two officials came over and whispered.
"Hmm." Cai Mao nodded and a smile flashed in his eyes. He walked into the state pastoral mansion with his head held high, and all the officials of the Cai family behind him came forward and hugged Cai Mao in.
Just like the last time Liu Biao was in his birthday, the whole front yard was covered with bright red brocade, which was thick like a carpet, which was particularly comfortable to step on.
"I've met the eldest son." As soon as Liu Qi entered the yard, more than a dozen officials saluted.
Liu Qi arched his hand as a return gift. He looked at the yard and saw that most of the officials in Xiangyang had arrived. Liu Xiu on the opposite side saw Liu Qi coming and waving his hands to greet Liu Qi. Liu Qi smiled and walked over.
"Brother." Liu Xiu said with an excited face.
Liu Qi nodded to Yiji beside him and said, "Mr. Yiji, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Ha ha, the eldest son is all good." Yi Ji returned the salute.
As the two spoke, they saw Cai Mao coming in surrounded by several officials. Seeing Liu Qi, Cai Mao nodded slightly and smiled without saying anything. He went to his seat and sat down.
"Big brother, Cai Mao is a little weird today. He would never say hello to you before." Liu Xiu whispered.
"Oh." Liu Qi looked at Cai Mao and shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter. He doesn't dare to mess around in this state pastoral house."
"Yes, although Cai Mao is domineering, he does not dare to mess around in this state's pastoral house. The eldest son only needs to be careful." Yi Ji, who was beside him, shook his head and said.
"The eldest son, Huang Chengyan, the patriarch of the Huang family, is also here today. Do you want to say hello?" Yi Ji pointed to the crowd not far away.
Liu Qi looked in the direction pointed by Yi Ji and saw more than a dozen young people in Confucian robes surrounding the four people. Three of the four people had been seen by Liu Qi, that is, Sima Hui, Song Zhongzi and Pang Degong and others, while the other person was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, his hair was white, his face was wrinkled, and his face was smiling and he talked and laughing with Sima Hui and others. .
Although he was dressed in coarse cloth, he stood straight. None of the more than ten Confucian students beside him dared to disrespect him, and they all listened to the conversation quietly.
"Is he Huang Chengyan?" Liu Qi looked at the old man and asked.
"Exactly, although Huang Chengyan has been living in seclusion, his prestige is no worse than that of Shuijing, and his means are even more extraordinary. If the eldest son deals with him later, he should be more careful." Yi Ji reminded.
"Hmm." Liu Qi nodded and was a little more careful about Huang Chengyan.
Liu Qi and others turned their heads and looked at Huang Chengyan and others, but Cai Mao on the other side turned his head and looked over. Seeing that Liu Qi and others were talking and laughing, Cai Mao said coldly, "Well, I hope you can still laugh later."
He already knows the plan of the Black Guard. After careful thinking about it, he agreed. Although it is a little risky, Liu Qi will definitely not be too defensive in this state pastoral house. As long as he can kill Liu Qi, even if he gets on the whole Black Guard, there is nothing. If Liu Biao really investigates it, he will hand over the Black Guard and let Liu Biao out. At the same time, he has secretly sent people to contact the soldiers and horses controlled by the Cai family. As long as Liu Biao dares to turn against him, he will immediately rush out of the city to leave Jingzhou with the soldiers and horses.
"Brother." Liu Xiu, who has been paying attention to Cai Mao, whispered.
Liu Qi turned his head and looked at Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu whispered, "Then Cai Mao has been looking here."
"Hmm?" Liu Qi turned his head and looked at Cai Mao. When he saw Liu Qi looking over, Cai Mao turned his head as if nothing had happened and did not look at Liu Qi.
"What the hell is Cai Mao doing?" Liu Qi shook his head and put down the matter. He looked at Huang Chengyan here. It was almost impossible to reconcile with the Huang family, but Liu Qi still wanted to have a try. As a last resort, Liu Qi did not want to establish a big enemy of the Huang family. If he wanted to successfully inherit Jingzhou to achieve his goal, he still needed the support of the family.
Thinking of this, Liu Qi nodded to Yi Ji and walked towards Huang Chengyan and others.
Liu Qi and others naturally attracted the attention of Huang Chengyan and others. Song Zhongzi took advantage of Liu Qi's love last time and looked at Liu Qi with a smile. Sima Hui and Pang Degong looked at Liu Qi curiously. Liu Qi's performance in the past few months really surprised them. They couldn't figure out why Liu Qi had changed so much. Huang Chengyan had never seen Liu Qi. When he saw Liu Qi coming over, he looked at Liu Qi's eyes full of doubts.
"Chengyan, that is General Liu Qi." Song Zhongzi, who was beside him, pointed to Liu Qi. Huang Chengyan's real name is rarely mentioned by himself. Over time, people only know his words.
Huang Chengyan looked at Liu Qi in surprise and nodded and said, "It's really extraordinary."
"Ha ha, I saw that General Zhengnan came for you this time." Sima Hui pointed to Huang Chengyan and smiled.
Huang Chengyan smiled and didn't say anything. He came to Xiangyang this time to deal with Huang Zu's arrest. Although Huang Zu did something wrong in Jiangxia, after all, he came from the Huang family. Now that Huang Zu was arrested, he had to make a statement. When he saw Liu Qi coming over, the smile on Huang Chengyan's face put away and thought that he should How to understand this matter.
Seeing Liu Qi coming over, the Confucian students beside him quickly made a way and let Liu Qi and others come in front of Sima Hui and others.
"Hmm?" Liu Qi suddenly turned his head and looked aside. One of the more than ten Confucian students made Liu Qi feel a little familiar.
"Li Yan?" When the Confucian student saw Liu Qi looking over, he quickly lowered his head and hid behind the Confucian student, but Liu Qi still saw the identity of this person. The Confucian student was Li Yan, Wen Ping's nephew.
"Why is he here?" Liu Qi turned his head and stopped looking at Li Yan. He promised that Wen Ping would not pursue that matter again. As long as Li Yan no longer provoked him, he would not take the initiative to trouble Li Yan.
Li Yan, who was hiding behind Rusheng, was relieved to see that Liu Qi ignored him and raised his head again. After he was sent back to his original place as the county magistrate, he felt unwilling no matter how he thought about it, so he resigned from the county magistrate and ran to Xiangyang hoping to find a way out. He happened to meet Liu Biao and ran over to pick up Liu Qi. Originally, he was worried that Liu Qi would embarrass him and deliberately hid here. Unexpectedly, Liu Qi ignored him.
While Li Yan was relieved, he was even more angry. Originally, he was the deputy general of the Flying Dragon Army. Everyone would flatter him everywhere, but because of Liu Qi's words, he would be where he was. At this time, Liu Qi's disregard for him so much made him feel a great humiliation.
"Liu Qi, wait, I'll let you know how good I am." Li Yan clenched his fist, and his hatred in his eyes did not hide.
At this time, Wang Yi behind Liu Qi suddenly turned his head and looked this way. Li Yan hurriedly bowed and hid behind the Confucian students, afraid that Wang Yi would see it.
Shaking his head, Wang Yi is not looking at Li Yan. On the one hand, the intention of Wen Ping is to let Li Yan avoid trouble, and on the other hand, it is not to sharpen Li Yan. As long as Li Yan removes his impetuousness, he believes that whether it is Wen Ping or Liu Qi, he will use him regardless of the past. Unexpectedly, Li Yan is so unbearable, not only did he not realize the article. The intention of hiring is to come to Xiangyang. People like Li Yan in Xiangyang are easy to be used by others.
Confucian students like Li Yan don't have much family background. If they want to get ahead quickly, they are nothing more than attached to which family they are accepted as family members and then recommended to Liu Biao. However, after being accepted as a family, you can only be controlled by the family unless you use all means.
"I've met several gentlemen." He came to Sima Hui and others and bowed.
"Ha ha, big son, please get up." Song Zhongzi smiled and stretched out his hand to help him. At this time, he did not wear an official uniform to see Liu Qi naturally as an elder in his fame in Jingzhou.
Sima Hui and Pang Degong also nodded slightly and smiled and stretched out their hands to help. Only Huang Chengyan, who was beside him, looked gloomy and didn't look at Liu Qi.
"This is Mr. Huang Chengyan from the Huang family. I have always heard that Mr. Huang Chengyan is a real hermit in the world. It's really lucky to see him today." Liu Qi smiled and saluted Huang Chengyan.
