Yuan Tan's expression when he spoke made Liu Qi lose his mind for a moment.

But Liu Qi was distracted not because he was shocked by Yuan Tan's expression, but because Yuan Tan's expression brought back his memories.

This arrogance from the inside out... an expression that is unforgettable in people's eyes. He should have seen it somewhere before.

Where exactly is it?

The memory only lasted a moment, and Liu Qi soon remembered it.

This expression is exactly the same as that of Yuan Shao.

The status of the famous family of the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes has been vividly revealed in Yuan Tan.

It seems that genes are really powerful.

However, it was just a simple hunting match. After winning, Yuan Tan began to subconsciously feel that he was already in the same weight class as Liu Qi.

It seems that I was right to deliberately lose to him for a while.

The arrogance hidden deep in the bones of a man of four generations and a noble family cannot be suppressed at all, because that kind of arrogance is affected by the environment in which he was raised and is innate.

Just like a person knows that he is a person not long after he is born... Soon after he is born, the children of the Yuan family know that they are superior to tens of millions of people.

Looking at the domineering and arrogant Yuan eldest son below, Liu Qi felt the urge to slap him to death.

I really want to think about it and let Dian Wei and Xu Chu pull him out and kill him on the spot.

Although he had this idea in his heart, Liu Qi knew that he couldn't do this now, he had to support Yuan Tan.

However, you can't praise someone forcefully or unconditionally, you must do it just right and not let the other party find out.

"Young Master Yuan has quite a bit of heroic spirit, and he is worthy of being a member of the Yuan family... Don't worry, I don't need to silence you, and I don't want to fall out with Yuan Benchu ​​because of you now." Liu Qi

He waved his hand and motioned Yuan Tan to sit down.

Yuan Tan was not polite, thanked him, and knelt down beside the main hall.

"I heard that Mr. Yuan has been doing nothing in Luoyang recently. He is idle every day and does not meet with others. He lives in seclusion... Are you not happy here?"

After hearing this, Yuan Tan felt quite unhappy.

Isn’t this nonsense? I am a hostage, how can I live happily here?

Yuan Tan said calmly: "Yuan is not familiar with the situation in Luoyang, has no acquaintances here, and does not know the customs and customs of this place, so his life is a bit boring."

"How many years has Mr. Yuan been in the army?"

Yuan Tan replied: "Yuan has been fighting in Hebei with his father's Chinese army since he was seventeen years old. It has been more than eight years now."

"Oh." Liu Qi nodded suddenly: "It seems that the young master can be regarded as a veteran in the army... Anyway, since I have come to Luoyang, I can't let Mr. Yuan do nothing every day, and I won't let him do it.

People say that I have treated you poorly... I want to reorganize the Northern Army and Xiyuan in Luoyang, and have appointed generals for training. Since Mr. Yuan is good at fighting and has fought in Hebei many times in the past few years, he might as well help him in Luoyang.

How about I train my cavalry?"

"What?" Yuan Tan was stunned after hearing this: "Let someone train troops?"

"What? Are you afraid that my general will steal your tactics?"

Yuan Tan chuckled and said: "There are many generals under your Majesty who are capable of conquering battles. Yuan also knows this. Even if a certain person has some abilities, if he wants his generals to covet my battle

Fa, I'm afraid it would make people laugh if I said it."

Liu Qi thought to himself: Fortunately, you still have some self-awareness.

"Okay, in that case, I will give you a salary of two thousand stones, but I will not grant you the position of general, which means that your hard work will not be in vain. You can go and train with Zhao Yun in the newly formed cavalry camp in Luoyang."

Yuan Tan pondered for a moment and finally agreed.

Later, he asked Liu Qi: "Why did your Majesty ask Yuan to go to the Cavalry Camp to train troops?"

"On the one hand, I see that you have nothing to do in Beijing, so that you can live a more fulfilling life. On the other hand, I was in Zhongmou in the past, competing with you. I know that you have the means, and I don't want your skills to be buried here.

It can be said that people are making the best use of their talents. Thirdly, I am also showing my mind to the people of the world. Even the hostages in Luoyang can be put to good use by me. Is there anyone in this world that I cannot use... Could it be that the one from Yecheng?

Can the false emperor have the same mind as me?"

What Liu Qi said was reasonable and reasonable, but he couldn't tolerate Yuan Tan's disbelief.

He grinned and didn't say much.

Liu Qi can do whatever he wants. Anyway, it is better to train soldiers by himself than to raise them in the house every day. If he continues like this, he may become a useless person.

After Yuan Tan left, Zhuge Liang's figure quietly flashed out from the side of the hall.

Even in Liu Qi's hall, he was still shaking the white feather fan in his hand.

This white feather fan has unknowingly become his standard equipment.

"Junior brother, what do you think of Yuan Tan?" Liu Qi looked at Zhuge Liang and asked him.

Zhuge Liang stared at the direction in which Yuan Tan disappeared and said: "After all, this person is a son of the Yuan family. He is neither stupid nor foolish, has arrogance and resilience...but he is by no means a great person in the world, or a middle-aged person."

Liu Qi also looked at the direction where Yuan Tan disappeared: "Can such a person be used?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "With his identity, position, and knowledge, naturally he can't use it openly, and I'm afraid your majesty can't afford it... he can only use it secretly."

Although the overt use and covert use were vague, Liu Qi already understood the meaning of his words.

"Junior brother, I'll leave the matter of Yuan Tan to you, how about it?"

Zhuge Liang's face straightened, and he immediately bowed seriously: "I would like to obey your Majesty's instructions."

Liu Qi stood up, dusted himself off and said, "Junior brother, come with me to the harem for dinner. I didn't eat this morning and I'm very hungry."

"promise."

…

The two brothers came to the back garden of Nangong, cooked wine and dined in the pavilion, and talked about the current situation in the world together.

"Then Sima Zhongda, has he returned to the Chancellor's Desk to report on his work?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Reporting to your Majesty, Zhongda has returned to the Chancellor's Desk and is working hard to deal with the government affairs left over from the previous rebellion."

"The Sima family is very sensible this time. Sima Lang stayed at Shangshutai to assist you, while Sima Yi personally went to Chang'an to find Wenpin for me and came back to save the situation. Although Wenpin had already arrived in Luoyang, it can be seen that

The Sima family is definitely on my side this time."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly but said nothing.

Naturally, he would not tell Liu Qi that he had contributed to the Sima family's actions.

"Sima Fang resigned from my position."

"Resign?"

"I said that I am old, frail and sick, and that I can no longer take it seriously. I am willing to give up the position of Luoyang Order."

"Get out?" Zhuge Liang was surprised for a while, and then nodded with understanding.

"The Sima family is all smart people... not only the two sons of Lord Sima, but he himself is not an ordinary person either."

At this moment, I heard a sudden cry from outside the pavilion.

"Dad, dad, dad!"

Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang turned around and saw several palace maids accompanying Cai Yan outside the pavilion.

In the arms of one of the palace ladies, Liu Qi's eldest son, Liu Xing, was holding.

Liu Qi had a flash of inspiration and suddenly remembered something in his heart.
