Chapter 10

Xiangyang in May, the weather is not hot or cold, Liu Xiutian not bright out of the office morning exercise. After returning to the mansion, he washed up and had breakfast. Liu Xiu left the prefecture early. In the prefecture, he could not see Liu Biao and was not welcomed by others, so he simply went out of the prefecture. However, Liu Biao's condition has not fully recovered, and he does not dare to go to lumen mountain. After all, he is too far away from home.

Under the management of Liu Biao, Xiangyang City is very prosperous. Walking in the streets of Xiangyang City, people come and go, very lively.

When Liu Xiu was among them, he felt more cordial.

This piece of land is our hometown.

After Liu Cong surrendered in his previous life, he also left Xiangyang. Since then, he has never returned to Xiangyang and died in a foreign land. Now I feel very different when I am in it.

Liu Xiu walked leisurely, and finally came to a restaurant.

The restaurant is called Lianxiang Lou. It is backed by the lake. Because there are lotus flowers in the lake, it is called Lianxiang Lou. In May, lotus leaves are all over the lake, and the budding buds are pregnant, making the scenery pleasant.

At this time of year, many people come to Lianxiang building.

Lianxiang building is divided into two floors, the downstairs is decorated with scattered seats, and the scattered guests in twos and threes sit in the lobby downstairs.

On the second floor, a curtain is used to separate the rooms into elegant seats.

Liu Xiu came early, but there were not many people in Lianxiang building. He went straight up to the second floor and found a quiet place to sit down and enjoy the lotus lake behind the lotus fragrance building.

The sun rises early, the sun is bright, the golden sun falls on the lotus lake, and the crystal dew reflects the light, making the whole Lotus Lake more beautiful.

A pot of tea, a person, enjoy the beauty alone.

Liu Xiupin tea, looking at the scenery outside the window, mood gradually calm down.

During the period of rebirth, he spent all day planning for his own future, thinking about how to stand in the troubled times, how to take advantage of the situation and how to prevent the power of Jingzhou from falling into Liu Cong's hands.

Up to now, he is cautious in every step, worrying that he will make a mistake and lose everything. Liu Xiu was staring at the lotus leaves and budding buds in the lake, but his mood suddenly dropped.

A heart, all empty, no longer think about anything, just want to enjoy the beauty in front of us.

"Step on it! Step on it

The sound of footsteps came from the corridor.

When Liu Xiu came back to his mind and went along with his reputation, he saw three men with elegant temperament and wearing a broad collar. They talked and laughed happily, and finally sat down in the elegant room next to Liu Xiu. Through the curtain, Liu Xiu can only vaguely see the three faces. Among the three, the elder had gray hair and was about 60 years old. The other two are about the same age, both in their early 40s.

"Duke De, what's the view of Lianxiang building?"

Among them, a middle-aged man in his early 40s said.

He is gentle, gentle, kind-hearted and kind-hearted.

The man who was known as the Duke of virtue was the oldest. He said, "Lianxiang building deserves its reputation. It's really good."

The middle-aged man sighed: "unfortunately, such a good scenery will not last long."

The old man said, "virtue, why do you say that?"

The middle-aged man sighed: "a few days ago, Lu Su of Jiangdong came to seek peace on behalf of Sun Quan, and then Jiangdong and Jingzhou went on strike to make peace. From my point of view, I'm afraid Sun Quan deliberately showed the enemy weakness and intended to paralyze Liu Jingzhou. Once Sun Quan is relieved, he will certainly set up a new army to break the border. It is impossible for Sun Quan to give up his father's revenge. Moreover, if Jiangdong wants to expand, it is impossible to leave Jingzhou alone. "

The old man said with a smile, "I'm afraid your inference doesn't hold water."

The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "in addition, I heard that Cao Cao in the North has pacified Bingzhou. If Jizhou and Bingzhou are to be pacified, I'm afraid Cao Cao will soon free up his hand. Jingzhou, I'm afraid it's hard to maintain peace. "

Another middle-aged humanitarian: "virtue, will you be alarmist?"

"Brother Chengyan, when the situation comes to this stage, it's inevitable and it can't be peaceful any more. It's only a year or two to live in peace. "

The three chatted, but Liu Xiu, who was sitting next door, got excited. In his heart, there was a feeling that there was no place to look for, and there was no effort.

Because the names of the three people beside him remind Liu Xiu of their identities.

Morality is Sima Hui's character.

Duke De, corresponding to Lord pound.

Chengyan, corresponding to Huang Chengyan.

Three people's names can be on the number, age difference is not much, must be the three people without worry.

Liu Xiu always wanted to go to lumen mountain to worship his teacher. Last time he went to lumen mountain, he also wanted to visit Pang Degong. I didn't expect to meet you in Lianxiang building. Liu trimmed his clothes, got up and lifted the curtain, and went to the elegant room where the three were seated.

Three people can be seen through the curtain.

Liu Xiuzhen was sure to be self-confident and said, "three gentlemen, I'm very polite."

Even if Liu Xiu had met the emperor in his previous life and had seen the grand scene, his heart had been calm. But at this moment, in the face of Pound's three people, their emotions still stirred.Pound hung up the curtain of the elegant room and asked, "what's your opinion?" He was also looking at Liu Xiu. He saw that Liu Xiu was dressed in ordinary clothes, but he was calm and calm. He spoke neither humbly nor haughtily, which was also a secret praise.

Liu Xiu said in a graceful way: "may I have your name, sir?"

"Mr. pound!"

Pound looked at Liu Xiu with great interest and was quite interested in Liu Xiu's sudden visit.

Liu Xiu bowed to Sima Hui again and said, "I just heard that Mr. De Gong was addressing Mr. Sima Hui, but is that Mr. Sima Hui?" Liu Xiu's understanding benefited from Liu Biao's teaching. Liu Biao didn't teach Liu Xiu poetry, no matter Liu Xiu's life or death, but let people train his etiquette to avoid losing Liu Biao's face. Because of this, Liu Xiu's every move was dignified and could not find the slightest fault.

Sima Hui nodded and said, "I am Sima Hui!"

Huang Chengyan see Liu Xiu also salute, even busy way: "under Huang Chengyan, do not salute."

"Met Mr. Chengyan!"

Liu Xiu heard the speech, but he could not be disrespectful. He still gave a humble salute.

As a junior, etiquette must be done well.

Pound nodded gently, leaving aside the identity of the youth, the etiquette was too impeccable. Sima Hui came from Yingchuan and lived in Xiangyang. However, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan came from Xiangyang aristocratic family and were very particular about etiquette.

Liu Xiu's action won their favor.

"What's the matter with you?" he asked

Liu Xiu replied, "I heard that the three gentlemen talked about Jingzhou. I have some immature ideas in my heart. I'm here to ask them for advice." In terms of age, Liu Xiunian was less than 20 years old, so he was asking for advice.

Pang Degong, who was running a school in lumen mountain, waved many disciples and was also a good teacher. Liu Xiu took the initiative to ask for advice, but he was also happy in his heart. He said, "in that case, tell me what you think."

Liu Xiu said: "I think Jingzhou may take advantage of the situation."

"Well, what does that mean?"

It was the first time that Sima Hui heard such a judgment. When Pang Degong and Sima Hui looked at each other, there was a trace of curiosity in their eyes. As for the situation in Jingzhou, the three people have discussed it countless times, and their disciples and friends have also discussed it many times. No one ever believes that Jingzhou can take advantage of the situation.

Mr. pound was intrigued and said, "I'd like to hear about it!"

Huang Chengyan took the initiative to lean on a seat inside and vacated a seat for Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu bowed his hand to thank him and sat down on his knees.
