Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 37

A group of people who stayed in the palace, walked out of the palace and followed Lu Zhi to the Lu Mansion.

After arriving at Lu Zhi's mansion
Everyone sat in the hall without saying anything, just drinking tea in silence, waiting quietly for Li Taiyi's arrival, with different thoughts in their hearts, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little weird.

After a while
When everyone was putting on the second cup of tea, Imperial Physician Li also came to Lu Zhi's mansion from the palace.

Lu Zhi instantly stood up from the main seat, then went out, let the guards stand guard near the hall, and no one was allowed to approach the hall, and then returned to the hall, and closed the door of the hall at the same time.

Time passed slowly, about two sticks of incense time
The door of the hall was opened again, and everyone who was originally staying in the hall also walked out of the hall and walked outside the Lu residence. Of course, Lu Zhi did not come out, and was still sitting on the main seat in the hall, but he was frowned. He frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

The eyes of the people walking out of the hall were worried, joyful, dull, or entangled. All kinds of emotions could be seen in the eyes of the people.

After the group walked out of Lu's mansion, they greeted each other, or rode horses or sat in sedan chairs, and left in a hurry, as if something was chasing them.

At night, Cao Cao was in his mansion in Luoyang.

Beep, beep, beep~~
Cao Cao stood at the door of a room, raised his hand and knocked on the door, his face full of worry.

squeak~~
There was a sound, and the door was opened. Xun Yu was standing behind the door in casual clothes. When he saw Cao Cao standing at the door, he didn't feel any surprise, as if it was expected.

"My lord, please come in!" Xun Yu stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.

Cao Cao didn't hesitate either. He stepped into Xun Yu's room and walked to the table in front of the window. There was a jug of wine, some appetizers, and two wine glasses on the table.

After closing the door at the back, Xun Yu went directly to sit opposite Cao Cao and said, "My lord, why did you come here late at night?"

While talking, he poured a glass of wine for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao picked up the wine glass, drank it down, put down the wine glass, and said, "Wen Ruo, why bother to ask questions knowingly, you should have guessed that I will come to you, right?"

"After returning from Lord Lu's mansion today, the lord has been out of his mind for a whole day, and he has not summoned his subordinates. The subordinates think that the lord will definitely come to find his subordinates!" Xun Yu smiled.

"You, you!" Cao Cao shook his head and said seriously, "Wen Ruo, what do you think about this matter?"

Of course Xun Yu knew what was going on, that was the sudden illness of Emperor Ling, plus the officials who heard Li Taiyi's report in the Lu Mansion, it must be difficult to sleep tonight.

And still at this time, he pondered for a while, and said: "My lord, I don't have any way to deal with it, I can just wait and see what happens!"

"Is there really no countermeasure?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu in astonishment.

"This matter will affect the whole body, not to mention the current situation is unclear, and it is even more difficult to decide!" Xun Yu shook his head with a wry smile, and it was still related to the matters above. If something went wrong, it would be a dead end matter.

Cao Cao didn't say anything more, after all, he could think of the things inside, the most important thing was that the situation was unclear, and it was really difficult to make a decision.

Suddenly, Cao Cao felt Xun Yu's mood change, looked at Xun Yu, saw the flickering expression on Xun Yu's face, and said, "Wen Ruo, what's wrong?"

Xun Yu also reacted when he heard Cao Cao's question, and said, "This subordinate just remembered something, but I don't know whether I should say it or not?"

"But it doesn't matter!" Cao Cao said.

Xun Yu pondered for a moment, he thought of Liu Qi's performance during the banquet, and at the end when the eunuch explained the reason for the end of the banquet, he inadvertently saw Liu Qi's performance.

As soon as the eunuch explained the reason, Liu Qi trembled all over, and the wine glass in his hand spilled out of it. In the end, it was Cai Yan who held Liu Qi's hand to stabilize himself. At that time, everyone in the banquet was looking at the eunuch and Lu Zhi's body, no one noticed this situation, but he was sitting behind Liu Qi, although it was an instant thing, but because of his casual glance, he took in all the situation in his eyes.

Before, I thought that Liu Qi's reaction was due to surprise, but now that I think about it, it was not surprise, but joy.
"My lord, I feel that my lord can go to Mr. Liu to discuss it!" Xun Yu said seriously.

Looking for Liu Qi?Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why?"

"My lord, although Mr. Liu came to Luoyang to propose marriage, his subordinates feel that it is not that simple. If he just came to propose marriage, he would not stay in Luoyang for such a long time, and he did not send people back to Jingzhou to report. After the governor found out, he didn't say anything, let alone send a betrothal gift!" Xun Yu said.

Hearing this, Cao Cao touched his chin and began to ponder. He also felt that something was wrong early in the morning. Liu Qi is Liu Biao's eldest son, and he is the number one successor to Jingzhou, but Liu Qi doesn't care about Jingzhou and stays in Luoyang. , Liu Biao also kept ignoring Liu Qi, as if he didn't know anything.

With a flash of light in his eyes, he said, "Could it be Liu Biao?"

"No, I don't think the problem lies with Mr. Liu, but Mr. Liu. Presumably, my lord should know that Mr. Liu and Mr. Liu are not compatible. That is a fact, and I think Mr. Liu's talent is no longer inferior to mine. There is such a talented person. Man, how could he not know that such an approach would arouse Governor Liu's dissatisfaction, and lead to his being abolished as the heir! 0”

Xun Yu paused, and continued: "There is only one explanation for Mr. Liu's behavior, and that is what he is hiding!"

"Hide what?" Cao Cao murmured.

"The subordinates can't guess what Mr. Liu is hiding, but in the current situation, the lord can discuss it with Mr. Liu, and there may be a solution!" Xun Yu said.

He also had an idea in his mind, but he crushed it in an instant. How could such an idea exist, and he didn't dare to think about it. turbulent.

Cao Cao glanced at Xun Yu, and couldn't understand why Xun Yu insisted on seeking Liu Qi's help by himself. Could Liu Qi, an outsider, have a way to deal with the current situation?

However, he would still listen to Xun Yu's words, so he said, "Since Wen Ruo insists, let's go visit brother Liu Qi early tomorrow morning!"

Seeing Cao Cao's perfunctory words, Xun Yu didn't say much, as long as he visited, he could get the result. He felt that it was impossible to make a mistake this time, and Liu Qi must have a way to deal with it.

The two also changed the subject and talked about other things, and it lasted until midnight before Cao Cao left Xun Yu's room and went back to his own room to rest.
