Huang Gai put down his wine glass, clasped his fists and said, "Since the Governor is determined to go, Huang Gai is willing to accompany him!"
"No!" Zhou Yu waved his hand and said: "Old General killed Huang Zu, and I'm afraid he won't even be able to pass through Xiakou. I'm here to discuss the enemy, so don't cause trouble. Just guard Chaisang for me!"
Huang Gai knew that Huang Zu's son, Huang She, was in Xiakou. Speaking of which, they were from the same branch, and both came from Huang Xiang. Since he had no choice but to kill Huang Zu last time, people even wrote letters to Lingling to accuse him.
If you go to Xiakou at this time, once there is a conflict, it will be self-defeating. He sighed helplessly: "When you get to Xiakou, offer a stick of incense to Ziyi for me!"
Zhou Yu persuaded him to drink, and the two chatted while drinking. Huang Gai was so upset that he felt drunk and fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Zhou Yu wrote a letter and ordered someone to be sent to Jiangdong. He took Xiao Qiao by boat to Xiakou, then turned to the Han River and went straight to Xiangyang.
Two funerals in Jiangdong caused the whole country to mourn, but at this time, Xiangyang was full of joy and people celebrated.
This year has been full of happy events. Liu Biao's "Five Classics Chapters" has been written, Liu Qi has taken Yizhou, Xiangzhou Yuelu Academy has been completed, and the reputation of father and son has spread far and wide.
The eldest son of the Shixie sect, Shiren, who was far away in Jiaozhi, came to visit him and expressed his intention to surrender. He invited three carts of classics from Xiangyang, and Jiaozhou was under the control of Liu Qi from then on.
Now he has retreated behind the scenes and concentrated on writing. His whole body has been refreshed. With Hua Tuo and the others taking care of him, he has regained his second youth. He married Liu Bei's wife Mi, which gave Liu Qi a big surprise.
It turned out that the Mi family had followed Liu Bei and had no heirs. In addition, after three years of mourning, she could return home to Ning according to etiquette.
Mrs. Mi originally did not want to remarry, but Adou has grown up and has a son with Mrs. Gan. He is often lost and lonely, so Mrs. Gan takes the initiative to mediate and make the marriage happen.
The host's mother hosted it herself, and Mi Zhu brothers were also happy to see it. Guan Yu couldn't say anything, but he didn't want to show off, so he held a family banquet privately and moved it to the mansion after the ceremony.
Liu Qi took the Wu family in Chengdu, but when he returned to Xiangyang, he didn't dare to take him to see Liu Biao. He introduced the situation with a guilty conscience. It wasn't that he didn't respect etiquette, but that he couldn't help himself.
Before he finished speaking, Liu Biao stroked his beard and laughed, called out Mi, and asked Liu Qi to call "Mother". Liu Qi was so shocked that he didn't react for a long time.
When Liu Qi returned home in triumph, Liu Biao invited celebrities all over to celebrate. The banquet lasted for half a month, and Liu Zhang and his son were brought into the mansion to reminisce about old friendships. It was like a closed-door family.
When Liu Qi came home, he was naturally greeted by a circle of resentful looks, so he had to take Mrs. Wu to apologize one by one. In the evening, the two of them took turns serving several ladies in order to get to know each other deeply, one person a day, and they were busy day and night.
On this day, Shiren went on a farewell tour. Shiren smiled and said, "I have heard for a long time that the general was talented in literature and military strategy. He settled in Yizhou in one year. This shows that his strategy is amazing, but his literary talents are not seen. I am deeply sorry. I am about to leave now. Can you give me a poem?" , I want to go back so that my father can pay his respects."
Liu Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty is a well-educated scholar. I have long heard that there are many famous scholars in Jiaozhi who are sophisticated in their scholarship and write books and biographies. How can I dare to do whatever I want to do?"
Shi Yan smiled and said: "My father has also admired the name of the general for a long time. If he were not too old and inconvenient to travel far, he would definitely go to Xiangyang to meet him in person. I heard that the literary style of the scholars in the Central Plains has changed. Since the Hongdu School, he has led the literary world with poetry. , the general is unique, so there is no need to be humble."
Liu Qi thought for a while, and found that this was a good excuse to start a seven-character poem, and then said: "Most of the poems written in the Central Plains are mainly four or five characters. Although the style of poetry and literature is exquisite, it is sometimes difficult to express my feelings. I have been reading a lot of Li Sao recently, and it is catchy. , I am quite touched. I occasionally write a seven-character poem, but I am afraid of making people laugh."
Shiren was greatly surprised and said hurriedly: "I have never seen the seven-character poem before. How lucky would I be to be the first to hear it?"
Liu Biao was also quite curious: "My son has another new work?"
Liu Qi said with a smile: "This time I returned to Jiangling from Jiangzhou and went down the river. I saw the picturesque mountains and rivers, which made me feel relaxed and inspired."
Shi Yan clasped his fists and said, "I'm all ears!"
"Then it's embarrassing!" Liu Qi softly chanted slowly:
"The White Emperor's farewell speech is among the colorful clouds. A thousand miles of rivers and mountains are returned in one day."
The apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains. "
"Wonderful!" Shiren clapped his hands and praised: "The general's literary talent is really amazing. This poem is bold and free and easy. Please ink it and take it back and frame it for the people of Jiaozhou to admire."
"Yes, yes, it needs to be framed!" Liu Biao thought for a while and nodded: "My son's poem is the first of its kind in the literary style. It needs to be hung in the main hall."
Liu Qi had no choice but to write two paintings before giving up, but he saved a lot of money.
Shi Yan returned all the gifts originally given to him, saying that Liu Qi was worth a thousand pieces of gold, and he was satisfied with bringing this painting back.
During the business exchange, Liu Neng walked out of the back hall and whispered a few words. Liu Qi was startled and said goodbye to everyone and left, asking Yi Ji, Liu Xian and others to accompany them.
After leaving the back hall and going straight to the post office, I heard Pang Tong's loud laughter: "It's rare for Mr. Zhou to come to Xiangyang, and Pang is not welcome at a distance. To express my apology, I invite you to spend money at Shuiyunfang. All expenses are included." On General Liu!"
Zhou Yu sighed: "I came here to discuss important matters, so how can I feel entertained? Shi Yuan knows it well, so why bother teasing him?"
Pang Tong chuckled and said, "The eldest son once said that a day is spent worrying and a day spent laughing. Why not be happy? You can't imagine the happiness in Shuiyunfang!"
"Hmph, are you going to deal with Lu Zijing again?" Zhou Yu smiled coldly, "Take me to the person I need to see immediately!"
"Boring, you are so boring!" Pang Tong said in confusion: "My wife has been picked up by Zhao Yun, I will keep this matter secret, what do you have to worry about?"
Zhou Yu said impatiently: "A true man puts loyalty first. If a superior cannot serve the country and a subordinate fails to redress the grievances of his friends, how can he have the dignity to enjoy himself?"
"Everyone knows that Zhou Lang is suave and has extraordinary bearing. In my opinion, he is just an old-fashioned man, no different from that nerd."
When Liu Qi came in, he saw Pang Tong leaning on the sofa drinking tea, shaking his head and sighing. Zhou Yu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking anxious.
When Zhou Yu saw Liu Qi, he hurriedly walked over. Before greeting him, he asked hurriedly: "General, the sun has already set. Why are you here?"
Liu Qi did not expect that Zhou Yu would come to Xiangyang in person. When Liu Neng saw him receiving guests, he hesitated for a while before he dared to come in and report, which took him almost half an hour.
While still explaining the reason, Zhou Yu hurriedly dragged Liu Qi out: "Take me to see someone quickly!"
Liu Qi laughed and said: "What the governor said is absolutely true. I will take you to see Mr. Hua now to ensure that the medicine will cure the disease."
Zhou Yu was startled, and when he saw Liu Qi secretly winking, he nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly, the news from Huainan has made me very worried. However, the disease has not improved for a long time, and I can't share my worries with my master, so I had to take the risk and come to Xiangyang. "
Pang Tong followed behind, shaking his head and complaining: "This Zhou Gongjin spends his whole day worrying about state affairs and doesn't understand life at all!"
The three of them went out and took a carriage to Huaping Medical College. A boy from the hospital post secretly followed them out and went to a cloth shop in Dongcheng to report the news.
