Huang Gai put down his wine glass, cupped 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, both 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 wine, and the two chatted while drinking. Huang Gai vomited his heart out, and unconsciously drank so drunk that he 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 headed 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 because of his fame. He expressed his intention to submit and took away three carts of classics from Xiangyang. From then on, Jiaozhou was under the control of Liu Qi.

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 had grown up and had a son with Mrs. Gan. He was often lost and lonely, so Mrs. Gan took the initiative to mediate and made the marriage happen.

The host's mother hosted it herself, and Mi Zhu's brothers were also happy to see it. Guan Yu couldn't say anything, but he didn't want to make it public, 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, calling out Mrs. Mi and asking 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 to celebrate his victory. The banquet lasted for half a month, and Liu Zhang and his son were brought into the mansion to reminisce about their old friendship. It was like a closed-door family relationship.

When Liu Qi returned 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 so that they could get to know each other better, one at a time, and they were busy day and night.

On this day, it was Shiren's farewell tour. Shiren smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that the general was talented in literature and military strategy, and he settled in Yizhou in one year. This shows that his strategy is amazing, but his literary talent is not seen. I feel deeply regretful. Now that I am about to leave, can you give me a poem?

, go back so that my father can pay his respects."

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty is a well-educated scholar. I have heard for a long time that there are many famous scholars in Jiaozhi who are sophisticated in their studies and write books and biographies. How can I dare to do something different?"

Shi Yan smiled and said: "My father has also admired the general's name for a long time. If it were not for his old age and inability to travel far, he would definitely go to Xiangyang to see 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 realized 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 seven-character poems, 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 smiled and said: "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 indeed amazing. This poem is bold and free-spirited. Please ink it and take it back with you to frame it for the people of Jiaozhou to admire."

"Yes, 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 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.

Shiren 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 piece of calligraphy back with him.

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. 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 could I be in the mood for entertainment? Shi Yuan knows it well, so why bother teasing him?"

Pang Tong chuckled and said: "The eldest son once said that it takes a day to be sad and a day to laugh, so why not be happy? You can't imagine the happiness of 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 man's loyalty comes first. If a superior cannot serve the country and a subordinate cannot redress the grievances of his friends, how can he have the dignity to enjoy himself?"

"Everyone knows that Mr. Zhou is suave and has extraordinary bearing. In my opinion, he is just an old-fashioned man. He is no different from that nerd."

When Liu Qi entered the door, he saw Pang Tong leaning on the sofa drinking tea, shaking his head and sighing, while 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 urgently: "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 meeting 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 smiled: "Exactly, the news from Huainan has made me very worried. However, the disease has not improved for a long time, and I cannot share the worries of my master, so I had to take the risk and come to Xiangyang.

"

Pang Tong came out from behind, shaking his head and complaining: "This Zhou Gongjin spends his whole day worrying about state affairs and doesn't understand life at all!"
