Chapter 171 Marriage Contract
And Deng Yu is the first of the 'Twenty-eight Generals of Yuntai'. He has made great achievements in his life and assisted Liu Xiu to achieve a generation of emperors. Compared with them, Xin Bina Xu Shu and Liu Qi really made Liu Biao unbelievable.
Seeing that Liu Biao didn't believe it, Xin Pi smiled and said, "When Emperor Guangwu was plowing the field, who would have thought that he would unify the world and become the lord of ZTE."
Liu Biao shook his head and stopped talking about it. In his opinion, although Liu Qi was excellent, he could not be compared with Emperor Guangwu. Liu Watch suddenly laughed and said, "I heard that you have a daughter?"
Xin Pi said with a wry smile, "Yes, she also came together this time."
"Haha, I've always been worried about Qi'er's marriage!" Liu Ao suddenly burst into laughter.
Xin Pi smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. She looked at Liu Biao helplessly: "I'm afraid their eldest son doesn't know the marriage contract of the two of them, right?"
"Well, I haven't had time to tell him. I thought we would never meet again, but I didn't expect that we would meet again after more than ten years." Liu Biao sighed, but when the two of them separated, Liu Qi was only about four or five years old, and Xin Pi happened to have a daughter, so they broke the contract. Liu Biao thought that they would not meet again, so he didn't tell Liu Qi.
"You pay so much attention to Qi'er's high evaluation of him. I don't think you will object to this marriage at this time, will you?" Liu Biao looked at Xin Pi with a smile on his face.
"Yes, my daughter already knows the marriage contract between the two, but my daughter has always been very independent. If you want to marry her, it depends on whether your baby son has the ability to win her favor." Xin Pi nodded. When she first mentioned it with her daughter, her daughter was unwilling. This time when she came to Xiangyang, she was afraid that he would settle the matter and come together.
"Haha, leave this matter to the young people to worry about. Anyway, I heard that Qier's trip to Jiangdong robbed Sun Ce's future wife." Obviously, Liu Biao is not very worried about Liu Qi's marriage. Since Liu Qi is the future lord of Jingzhou, there will certainly be no shortage of women, but he needs a virtuous wife to help him deal with family affairs, which is what Liu Biao is most worried about.
"You, my daughter has always been as arrogant as me. Ordinary men don't like it. At this time, Liu Qi is just a dragon trapped in the mud, and her heart is difficult to grasp." Xin Pi looked at Liu Biao with a smiling face and shook his head.
"Oh, is this true?" Liu Biao couldn't help but think of the woman who came with Xin Pi two days ago. Although the woman was not beautiful, the temperament all over her body was not what ordinary women could have. Now when he heard that her literary talent was not inferior to Xin Pi, Liu Biao was surprised and uncertain.
"I lied to you. You are worried about Liu Qi's marriage. Don't I worry about my daughter's marriage?" Xinpi nodded.
"In that case, I'll announce it tomorrow." Liu Biao was stunned for a moment and said that such a woman should be his son's wife. Xin Pi doesn't like to joke, especially in such a big event.
"Didn't you just say that you let them make their own decisions?" Xin Pi suddenly saw through Liu Biao's thoughts.
"Haha, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker can't be broken. It was just a joke just now." Liu said with a wave of his hand.
The two talked and laughed. It was not until both of them were drunk that Liu Biao ordered someone to send Xin back.
Back outside the courtyard, Xin Pi waved his hand to let the person who sent him go back. Then he shook into the courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl running to help Xin Pi and said with a worried face, "Father, why do you drink so much wine?"
"I'm happy today. I talked to Liu Jingsheng about the past." Entering the room, Xin Pi half lay on the soft couch and took two sips of the water handed by the girl.
"I have mentioned your matter to him. Tomorrow he will tell Liu Qi that it will be up to you." Xin Pi raised his head and said, "I heard that Liu Qi robbed two women in Jiangdong. These two women were originally the unmarried wives of Jiangdong Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but they didn't expect to be robbed by Liu Qi. You should pay attention to them at that time. However, you and Liu Qi have a marriage contract, and my Xin family is also a friend of Liu Biao's family. The position of this wife must be yours.
"Father..." The girl shouted coquettishly.
"Haha, I forgot it for my father. You can decide after you see Liu Qi tomorrow. If you don't want to be my father, you can only be a villain." Xin Pi said with a smile on her face. He was very clear about his daughter's thoughts. These days, Liu Qi's affairs have spread all over Xiangyang City. From time to time, she ordered people to inquire, but Xin Pi saw it.
"Hmm." The girl nodded but felt a little helpless. Since Xin Pi and Liu Biao had already agreed that it was not easy to escape the marriage. It would be good if the two had not seen each other for decades, but at this time, since they had met and mentioned the old things again, regretting the marriage was quite unfavorable to the faith of the Xin family, and the father was not doing well in the north. If you can take this opportunity to stay in Jingzhou, maybe you can achieve something in the future.
Besides, although she has never met Liu Qi, she knows a lot about Liu Qi. At the age of 20, there are not many concubines around Liu Qi. Such a person is indeed rare.
"Father, let's take a rest first." Saying that, the girl picked up the brocade behind Xin Pi and let Xin Pi lie down. It didn't take long for Xin Pi to snor like thunder.
The girl had no choice but to cover him with a brocade quilt. Then she got up and went to the table in front of the window and sat down. Bai Yu's jade hand picked up the bamboo slips on the table for a long time before sighed, "I hope people will last for a long time and live together for thousands of miles. What kind of person are you?"
..........................
In Liu Qi's house, Xu Shu sent his mother back to the house. After cleaning herself, he came to Liu Qi's house.
Seeing Liu Qi, Xu Shu said in detail about his knowledge in Changsha these days before saying, "The governor of Jiangdong should have arrived in Jiangxia at this time. Although General Wenpin's Feilong Army is an elite man, I'm afraid Jiangdong's elite this time is not good."
"Yuan Zhi doesn't have to worry. I will tell my father about this tomorrow. Since General Wenpin did not ask Xiangyang for help, the situation in Jiangxia should not have reached the point of life and death. As long as the army arrives in Jiangdong, he will naturally retreat." Liu Qi nodded.
"Yuan Zhi thought why his father would change his attitude towards me after coming back this time." Liu Qi asked Xu Shu about Xiangyang.
"I'm afraid this has something to do with this expedition to Changsha. On the one hand, Liu Jingzhou should want to support the lord to compete with Cai Mao. On the other hand, I'm afraid he has decided to appoint the lord as the heir. Xu Shu immediately said that he was also happy for Liu Qi in his heart, so that Liu Qi's power would rise rapidly and he no longer had to be tied up as before.
"Oh." Liu Qi nodded and couldn't figure out why Liu Biao suddenly made this decision.
"Cai Mao's public assassination angered Liu Jingzhou, and it is understandable that Liu Jingzhou did so." Xu Shu saw the doubt in Liu Qi's heart.
"Look at this." With that, Liu Qi took out a cloth towel from his arms and gave it to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu looked at the cloth towel twice and his face was full of surprise. He didn't expect that Liu Qi would tell him such important things. After taking a breath and reading the content on the cloth towel, Xu Shu said, "This emperor is so scheming. Liu Jingzhou is almost his way."
"Why?" Liu Qi was shocked and asked.
"At that time, the emperor was afraid that he had a close relationship with Liu Jingzhou. Liu Jingzhou may have supported him as the emperor, but the two fell out because of this matter. At that time, the emperor wanted to take Yuan Shu's hand to remove you, so that Liu Jingzhou could be easily controlled in the future. Xu Shu said with a sigh.
"What's going on?" Liu Qi became more and more confused.
Xu Shu handed over the cloth towel in his hand to Liu Qi and said, "At that time, the emperor should have been fully sure to ascend the throne. At that time, the local officials in the world held the soldiers and did not listen to the order. The emperor wanted to take the opportunity to remove the eldest son to dispel Liu Biao's ambition. At that time, Liu Jingzhou would definitely concentrate on assisting the emperor in pain."
"Liu Xie was only ten years old at that time and had such a scheming." Liu Qi was a little surprised that it was terrible for a ten-year-old child to have such a scheming.
"The emperor's family has never had a family affection. It's not surprising that the princes have been intrigued since childhood." Xu Shu shook his head.
"Ha ha, even if he is scheming and suppressed over the years, I'm afraid he will be in a mess." Liu Qi gave another cloth towel to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu took a deep breath, but after looking at it carefully for a long time, he said excitedly, "Lord, there will be a fight in the north, and our opportunity is coming."
"Yes, this is an opportunity for us, but a little carelessness will be doomed." Liu Qi said cautiously, "There are a lot of strange people in Jingxiang. At this time, it's time to attract them. Don't let them fall into the hands of others."
For Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, Liu Qi has made up his mind that if he can't recruit, he has to send Jin Yiwei to kill them or permanently imprison them. He will not leave these people to Liu Bei for the sake of a moment.
"If the lord has this intention, why don't you worry about major things?" He has an inexplicable trust in Liu Qi and Xu Shu. Now that Liu Qi wants to recruit these people, he will definitely succeed.
"I have received the news that Pang Tong came to Xiangyang with Mr. Qiao this time. This person must be recruited. In addition, Wolong Zhuge can't let go. If these people can be solicited, they can be eliminated." After saying that, Liu Qi looked cold.
"This... Lord, these people are on top of the concubine. Please think twice." Xu Shu didn't expect Liu Qi to be so decisive. He felt that he was suitable as a king, and he was not a pedantic. Such a person left to others to push himself to death, but he was a little unbearable to watch his friend being killed.
"Yuanzhi, don't worry, I won't do it unless I have to." Liu Qi shook his head. It's really a pity to kill Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and he still has some confidence in himself. Liu Qi is very clear about their ambitions.
