Four years ago, when Liu Qi first entered Jingzhou, he advised Liu Biao, wanting to appoint their fellow villagers from Gaoping County, and he was very fond of him!

Because Man Chong was in office, he killed the supervisor, enforced the law strictly and had the appearance of a cruel official, Liu Biao, a famous scholar, didn't think much of using such a person.

Liu Biao is a soft person and he doesn't like to play violence.

At that time, Liu Qi spent a lot of effort and persuaded Liu Biao, which made Liu Biao reluctantly agree to Liu Qi's advice on recruiting.

The problem is that Liu Qi was thinking very beautifully, and Man Chong didn't even pee at that time.

Man Chong didn't even care about the recruitment of the Liu family in Shanyang.

Over the years, Liu Qi always thinks about this incident and feels a little hurtful of self-esteem.

First of all, people in this era had a strong local complex. Liu Biao and Liu were from Gaoping, Shanyang, and Man Chong was also from Gaoping, Shanyang. It became an iron law for fellow villagers to join fellow villagers to do things. Why didn’t he not dump himself?

Secondly, at that time, Liu Biao was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou, and after all, he was also a supervisor. For his recruitment, Man Boning did not even reply a letter. Isn’t it too much that he looked down on others?

After four years between, Liu Qi no longer had any thoughts on this matter.

But today, Man Chong actually appeared in front of him on his own initiative.

If it were Liu Qi a few years ago, he might have competed with Man Chong to get back some face.

But today, after many years of experience, his heart has become very open and his methods of doing things have become more and more mature.

After seeing Man Chong the day before yesterday, Liu Qi felt that this person was a little unusual, so he sent someone to the inn to check his information.

It seems that Man Chong did not seem to have planned to hide his identity when he came to Xiangyang. Jing Wuzun quickly found out his news... but it is normal. If he did not have his real name and the talismans sent by Shanyang County, Man Chong would not be able to live in the inn safely.

And this stay lasted for more than half a year.

According to the story of the people in the inn, Man Chong lived in the inn last fall, which was almost the period when Liu Qi defeated Dong Zhuo.

After so long, I just lived in the inn in Xiangyang... I have to admit that Man Chong has a very rich family background. After all, it is not something that anyone with any identity dares to live in the inn for a long time.

Facing Liu Qi's question, Man Chong was not at all panicked and said lightly: "If it comes to the famous people in Gaoping, Shanyang, Man dare not regard himself. In Gaoping County, in addition to the king and father and son, there is also Mr. Yuanjie who is famous all over the world. If he looks at Shanyang County, there are also Mr. Wen You, Zhai Fujun and others with famous reputations, how can I be a man Chong?"

Liu Qi smiled and said, "One hundred people look at the world, there are a hundred views, and ten thousand people look at the world, there are a thousand colors. The people mentioned by Man Gong are naturally a noble senior to Liu Qi, but Man Gong himself is also respected by Liu Qi, so this matter is not conflicting."

Man Chong looked at Liu Qi's expression seriously and found that his face showed great sincerity.

I don’t know if it’s pretending, but at least Man Chong can’t see any signs of Liu Qi pretending.

After a while of silence, he suddenly heard Man Chong say, "Eunuch Liu is also a overlord. He holds tens of thousands of soldiers and is famous all over the world. When you ordered the Lord to write a letter to seek enlightenment from Man Chong, Man should not send an envoy, so will the envoy not be angry with me?"

Liu Qi said seriously: "I'm not angry, but I'm very curious."

"What are you curious about?"

"I'm curious why you didn't agree?"

Man Chong pondered for a moment and said, "Men is a straightforward person. He is willing to say anything and do not want to tell lies to deceive the envoy. I wonder if the envoy is willing to listen?"

Liu Qi smiled and said, "Since I want to ask, I naturally have to listen to the truth."

Man Chong then spoke seriously: "To be fair, Man did not look down on Liu Jingzhou at the beginning."

"Why do you say this?"

"Liu Jingzhou and I are both from Gaoping. This person has a very famous literary talent and is very Confucian in his behavior. He is very different from Man. Although Ling Zun was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou, in Man's opinion, he was only a false name in Jingzhou. He had no foundation and was controlled by the wealthy families at that time. What's the use of me who left my family and business to come here?"

Man Chong's idea was similar to what Liu Qi guessed. Man Chong was ten years older than him. He worked as a county official in Shanyang County and later as the head of a county. He knew a lot about the outstanding figures in the county.

Thinking about it from another perspective, didn’t Liu Biao look down on Man Piao at the beginning?

They are not all the people, but they look down on each other.

"Why is Mr. Man coming to Jingzhou today?" Liu Qi asked again.

Man Chong spoke very directly: "To meet you, Envoy Liu."

"See me?"

"That's right."

“Why?”

Man Chong said righteously: "Envoy Liu has become famous since he went north to protect him. Later, you pacified Jingnan and started to collect the fields for the Shaofu, and then carried out military farming in various places. Since then, Man has been paying attention to the matter of Envoy Liu."

Liu Qi felt something: "Does Man Gong think Liu is a person who can support me?"

Man Chong said, "Yes, but I forgive Man for saying frankly that although Man and Liu Envoy are fellow townsmen, after all, everyone in our clan is in Yanzhou, and my foundation is also in Yanzhou. Although Man gradually learned that Liu Envoy is not an ordinary person, he did not dare to come to Jingzhou easily..."

This is the truth. For people of this era, abandoning the foundation of their ancestral business and developing elsewhere must have great courage.

Liu Qi said in confusion: "Since that's the case, why did Mr. Man come to Jingzhou this time?"

Man Chong slowly raised two fingers and said, "Because of two points, the first point prompted me to come. Jingzhou wanted to have an in-depth understanding, and the second point asked a certain person to decide to meet Liu Envoy."

Liu Qi thought carefully and said, "If I was not wrong, was it because of Dong Zhuo's death that prompted Man Gong to come to Jingzhou?"

"Dong Zhuo, a thief who is a chaotic country, can achieve such great achievements and fail to earn a contribution, must be a major weapon of the country. This... the envoy is far superior to Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Mengde."

Liu Qi smiled and nodded, and continued to listen...

Man Chong was not polite and continued, "It was not until he heard that the envoy returned the military power to his father that Man made up his mind to come and see the envoy!"

Liu Qi couldn't help but wonder: "I have done so many big things, but it only prompted Mr. Man to be curious about me. However, the matter of restoring military power is an ordinary thing that cannot be more ordinary. Is there anything strange about this?"

Man Chong said seriously: "It's easy to say, but it's definitely not something that ordinary people can do. They must be filial people and have great perseverance... The most important thing is that those who can suppress their dissatisfaction and desires, and calmly deal with injustice, and those who can do such a person will definitely be able to calm down the troubled times."

Liu Qi laughed in silence when he heard this: "Did Mr. Man exaggerate a little?"

Man Chong said with no joy or anger: "I never praise others too much, nor will I undermine others. Only those who can control their own hearts can control the world."
