Xun Biao wanted to introduce his nephew to Liu Qi, so Liu Qi naturally couldn't refuse.

At that moment, Xun Biao was seen calling someone.

Not long after, a middle-aged man who looked older than Xun Biao walked in.

Xun Biao then introduced Liu Qi: "My lord, this is my nephew Xun You, whose nickname is Gongda. He used to serve as Huangmen's minister in Chang'an. Now he is ordered to return to Yingyin with the imperial edict.

After the funeral, he went to serve in Shu County, and now he has become the governor of Shu County."

After hearing Xun You's name, a smile appeared on Liu Qi's lips.

He, Zhao Yan, Du Xi and others stood up to salute Xun You and exchanged their names.

After Xun Biao's general introduction, Liu Qi learned that Xun You had a distant relationship with them.

Dragon, so to a certain extent, Xun You's nephew is currently far inferior to his cousin Xun in terms of reputation and political resources.

But despite this, Xun You himself was not in despair.

He is the grandson of the governor of Guangling County with two thousand stones, and he has worked hard since he was a child. Now that he is middle-aged, he has also entered the ranks of famous people. When He Jin was in Japan, Xun You was also among the twenty famous people from home and abroad who were summoned to the capital by him.

one.

After everyone sat down after the ceremony, Xun Biao then roughly repeated to Xun You what Liu Qi had just wanted to do to conquer him and Xun Pei.

Then, Xun Biao said: "Gongda, although you are my nephew, you are much older than us, and your official resume is also much stronger. My brother and I are aware of ourselves, and my brother is just a

People who are willing to be self-sufficient and enjoy themselves in the countryside, but the world is currently in chaos, and the land of Yingchuan is located in the middle of the world, and there are many variables. We in the Xun family also need to make more plans for the descendants of the clan. The north and south have their own trends.

Short and long, can you understand what I mean?"

Xun You is such a person, he can naturally understand the meaning of Xun Biao's words at once.

It's like a north-south trend, each with its own shortcomings and strengths.

The Xun family is now walking on many legs. Xun Yu and Xun Chen have moved all their people to the north and joined Yuan Shao's command. However, although Yuan Shao's power is strong and growing, no one can guarantee that

, he will definitely be the ultimate winner in this world in the future,

Moreover, Yuan Shao is a powerful hero in the north, and currently his power is not enough to penetrate into the south. In terms of geographical location, the Xun family's family is still closer to these southern princes.

Among the many forces in the south, there are Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, Liu Qi and others.

Needless to say, Sun Jian, given his background and his previous actions of massacring celebrities in Nanyang County and Nan County, it is impossible for the Xun family to favor him.

As for Yuan Shu... He has been defeated repeatedly in battles, and Nanyang County is about to be lost from his hands. His power and reputation are far less than a year ago, and a dignified rear general is not even as fast as Cao Cao in Dongjun.

Moreover, both Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu belong to the Yuan clan. As far as the Xun family is concerned, it is enough to assist one of the two Yuans.

Based on this calculation, among the powerful people in the south, if the Xun family wants to take root and find a force to assist them, it seems that the Liu family of Shanyang seems to be the most reliable.

However, Xun Biao and Xun Pei are representative figures in the Xun family after all. They stick to their family business and will not leave the family easily. It is better to let Xun You go to Liu Qi to explore the way. In the future, the entire Xun family can also use Xun You and Xun under Yuan Shao.

Let’s compare the achievements of Yu and Xun Chen.

Xun You naturally understood this truth.

At that moment, I saw him bowing deeply to Liu Qi and saying: "Mr. Liu treated the Xun family so well. Not only did he come from Jingchu to mourn his ancestors, but he also wanted to call my two uncles to go to Jingzhou to serve as officials. Although Xun You is not from this branch,

, but you can also feel Fu Jun’s deep kindness.”

Liu Qi smiled bitterly and said: "It's a pity that the two father-in-laws are unwilling to go to Jingchu, which makes Liu Qi very regretful. But Mr. Gongda is a famous person in the country and respected by Liu Qi. I wonder if Mr. Gongda is willing to accompany Liu Qi to Nanyang?"

If you, sir, are willing to give in, Qi is willing to treat you with courtesy."

When Liu Qi said this, there was no momentum or arrogance.

It's not that he pretended to be a grandson on purpose, but in fact, from his position, it was a bit embarrassing to conquer Xun You.

You must know that Xun You has also been granted the title of Governor of Shu County with two thousand stones by the imperial court. He has the same official position as Liu Qi. If he can succeed in being appointed as Shu County, he can also become a force of his own.

An ordinary person would not be willing to give up his position as the leader and would go to Jingzhou to work for Liu Qi and his son.

This is as if he doesn't want the position of a provincial leader and has to go to another province to work as a secretary to the leader.

But he saw Xun You stroking his beard and smiling softly: "Xun You is very grateful for your kindness, but this matter is of great importance. How about allowing you to think about it all night?"

Liu Qi had a slight change of thought and already knew what Xun You meant.

He immediately nodded and said: "Okay, it's getting late now. I want to stay overnight in your mansion with some of my captains, so as to wait for Mr. Gongda's reply tomorrow. Isn't it convenient?"

Xun Biao said with a smile: "Master Fu is a guest from afar. Even if you want to leave, I have to stay with you. This is naturally the best."

At that moment, Liu Qi and others lived in the Xun family's mansion under the arrangement of the Xun family.

After arriving at the guest room, Li Dian did not go back to rest. Instead, he received Liu Qi's instructions and came to Liu Qi's room.

"Bo Yu, why do you want to stay alone in the Xun Mansion today? If you can't conquer the Xun brothers, if you stay here and don't leave, won't you be a laughing stock for others?"

Liu Qi scratched his hair with his hand and said calmly: "Who said I would not leave? I am just waiting for Xun Gongda's reply."

Li Dian frowned and said, "Then Xun You, an official who is the governor of the county, is at the same level as you. His words today clearly indicate that he does not want to be an official in Jingzhou, so why should the governor wait here all night?"

Liu Qi shook his head and said: "It's not that he doesn't want to go to Jingzhou, but he is hesitant, so he gave himself a moment to think. This night is crucial. If he really doesn't want to go to Jingzhou, he just wants to go to Jingzhou."

Just like Xun Biao, even if he rejected us, why bother to come up with the excuse of waiting all night?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Dian looked at Liu Qi with some confusion: "Did you hear this meaning? Why can't I hear it?"

Liu Qi thought to himself, if I had not read "Journey to the West", I would probably have the same idea as you. The current situation is the same as when Bodhi Patriarch hit Sun Wukong on the head three times and asked him to go to his room for a deep talk in the middle of the night.

It's just that his status is respected, Xun You is embarrassed to have his own head broken.

"Mancheng, go quickly and find out where Xun You lives. Let's pay a courtesy visit to Mr. Gongda in his room tonight."

Although Li Dian felt that Liu Qi's move was a bit mean, but since it was the Lord's order, he couldn't refuse, so he turned around and left.

Although the Xun Mansion is a large place, with Li Dian's ability, it is still easy to find out where Xun You lives.

That night, Liu Qi and Li Dian went to Xun You's room to pay a visit in person.

The sky was dark, but Xun You's room was still illuminated by a single lamp, which reflected his figure on the window, letting passers-by know that the owner of the room was not asleep yet.

Liu Qi stood outside the house and said with a smile: "Is Mr. Gongda asleep?"

After about a few seconds, Xun You's door opened, and Xun You stood in front of the door with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Liu Fu came here late at night. What's the important thing?" Xun You seemed surprised to see Liu Qi and asked.

Liu Qi gently nodded and said to Xun You, "I came here to visit Mr. Gongda."

Xun You smiled faintly, looked up at the sky, and said, "Master Fu is in such a good mood."

But as he said this, Xun You dodged a passage for Liu Qi and said: "Master Fu, please!"

Liu Qi turned to Li Dian and said, "Mancheng, wait for me outside."

Li Dian understood what Liu Qi meant, which was to ask him to guard the door to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping.

After making arrangements for Li Dian, Liu Qi followed Xun You into the room, and then saw him bowing to Liu Qi and saying: "Xun You was very rude in front of the emperor during the day, please forgive me."

Liu Qi said hurriedly: "Mr. Gongda, please don't do this. It was Liu Qi who spoke too bluntly during the day, which made it difficult for Mr. Gongda."

Xun You shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not difficult, it's not difficult."

Liu Qi handed a wooden box in his hand to Xun You and said with a smile: "This is a small gift, sir, please accept it."

Xun You hurriedly waved his hand and said, "What do you mean by this, Mr. Fu? Xun is not a money-loving person."

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Mr. Gongda, don't get me wrong. These are definitely not those gold foil vulgar things. You can tell at a glance."

Xun You opened the wooden box and took out the silk.

"This is Cai Zhonglang's copybook?" Xun You asked in surprise.

Liu Qi nodded and said: "I think Mr. Cai Lai also knows that Cai Jiajia, the daughter of Cai Zhonglang, is currently working in five industries at Changsha Academy in Jingchuang. Cai Zhonglang's collection of more than 20,000 volumes of classics is also in Jingchu. I received a gift from Zhonglang.

It is a special gift, so I give it to you as a token of respect."

If Liu Qi had given Xun You gold and silver, Xun You might have refused, but now what Liu Qi had sent him was really tempting him.

In the current situation, it doesn't matter whether he accepts it or not.

Seeing Xun You being so embarrassed, Liu Qi said: "Mr. Gongda, let's not talk about whether to accept this copybook or not. How about we chat about business first?"

Xun You looked at Liu Qi deeply and said, "What is Mr. Liu's so-called business...?"

Liu Qi said: "Sir, do you really want to take office in Shu County?"

When Xun You heard Liu Qi ask himself, he sighed: "It is the decree of the imperial court and the emperor's decree. How can I not go?"

Liu Qi shook his head and said: "Is it the emperor's will to appoint Mr. Shu as the governor of Shu County? Heaven knows and the earth knows. You know and I know. With your wisdom, how can you not figure out the mystery involved?"

Xun You laughed loudly and said: "The Lord is an upright person. He directly commented on the court in front of Xun You. If the news spread, I'm afraid it would be unwise, right?"

Liu Qi said seriously: "How did Mr. Liu get the position of Nanyang County Sheriff? I know best in my heart. You and I, the two county governors, are actually just Dong Zhuo's scheme."

Xun You sighed and said: "Xun You knows what the prince said. Now the land of Yizhou is a place of right and wrong. Gan Ning, the governor of Shu County, has rebelled, and Jia Long and Ren Qi have caused trouble both internally and externally. Liu Yan has no time to take care of himself.

It was really not a wise move to enter Sichuan at this time...and I also know that the Prime Minister deeply hates us and the Xun family, so he asked me to go to Yizhou this time, in the name of promotion, but in fact it was an attempt to murder me."

Liu Qi nodded suddenly.

Xun You is Xun You, and he sees things very accurately.
