Finished discussing things. , And in Liu Cong's words, the tangle in his heart was solved.
Liu Qi did not stay in the meeting hall anymore, so he invited Liu Cong to go to his mansion, then left the meeting hall and walked back to his mansion.
And Liu Cong also followed Liu Qi away.
After all, he didn't have anything to do, he just waited.
The night was dark and windy.
After Liu Qi and Liu Cong finished their dinner, they sat opposite each other in the pavilion in the garden.
There was a chessboard on the stone table in the middle, and a cup of hot tea in front of them.
It seems that they also know that the two brothers have something to talk about.
Cai Yan, Da Qiao, and Xiao Qiao, after eating, took their children back to the backyard to play without disturbing Liu Qi and Liu Cong.
The maid also brought hot tea and then bowed and retreated.
Liu Qi and Liu Cong also played Go in the pavilion.
There were no other people around, and there were only two maids, staying outside the garden, waiting for the call at any time.
There was also the flickering firelight, flashing in the garden, illuminating everywhere.
There is also the sound of falling.
The two of them seemed to have acquiesced.
They didn't speak and were focused on playing chess.
If you miss one piece, I will follow up with the next piece.
You take the pieces, and I return the pieces, not giving in to each other.
They all played chess calmly and focused. a long time The chessboard is also covered with chess pieces, some black and some white, densely packed. snap A falling sound.
Liu Qi also placed the black chess piece in his hand on the last square on the chessboard, then looked at Liu Cong and said, "Second brother, you lose."
"Haha, Brother Wang's chess skills have not deteriorated.
They are even better than before," Liu Cong said with a smile. , He shook his head and threw the chess piece in his hand back into the chess pot.
Halfway through the game, he already knew the outcome.
It could have ended very early, but Liu Qi had to let him play, and the entire chessboard was filled before the winner could be determined.
Moreover, he had no chess skills to speak of before.
That is to say, when he was in Jiaozhou and Nanman, he had time to study chess.
It was just a matter of cultivating his body and mind.
Otherwise, even if Liu Qi had the intention to let him go, he wouldn't be here now.
Liu Qi smiled and said: "It's just that your heart has not completely calmed down.
If it calms down, it's hard to say whether you will win or lose."
He didn't lie either.
After running around all these years, I rarely play chess.
There has been no improvement in my chess skills, and it has been settled that there has been no regression.
What's more, his chess skills were not very good to begin with, just average.
Compared with Liu Cong today, he was not much better.
If Liu Cong calmed down completely, it would be hard to say whether he would win or lose.
Hear the words.
Liu Cong also smiled and said nothing.
"Second brother, do you have something that you want to discuss with me?"
Liu Qi asked directly without paying attention.
He also felt that Liu Cong had something on his mind.
Hear Liu Qi's question.
"The one who knows me is Brother Wang," Liu Cong said with a smile, "I want to follow in the footsteps of Marquis Wen after Brother Wang becomes emperor."
He rushed back to the Southern Barbarians in Jiaozhou and returned Chen Gong and Zhang Liao to Lu Bu.
After learning about Lu Bu's decision, he also had this thought.

When I came to Chengdu, I also thought about it seriously.
This was also something he wanted to discuss with Liu Qi.
The words fell.
Liu Qi was also stunned for a moment.
After all, it felt a bit sudden, and then said: "You have decided."
"It's decided."
Liu Cong nodded and said, "If this continues, I won't be able to follow Brother Wang's footsteps, and I don't want to stand under Brother Wang's wings for the rest of my life.
After knowing what Marquis Wen thinks, my I had an idea in my mind, and on the way to Chengdu, I thought about it carefully and slowly made a decision."
"Now Brother Wang has many generals and counselors under his command.
One more of me is not more, and one less of me is not much.
And I may be able to play a role by following the footsteps of Marquis Wen.
I think when future generations talk about me, they are not talking about me.
He grew up under the wings of Brother Wang, but has his own reputation."
Finished.
Liu Cong also looked at Liu Qi firmly.
Even in the previous battles, he guarded the land of Jiaozhou, but it was not due to his own ability.
Look at Liu Cong's expression.
"If you want to follow in the footsteps of Marquis Wen, you should also know where Marquis Wen is going.
This road is not easy to follow, and you may never come back."
Liu Qi also looked at Liu Cong and said. , "Then why are you afraid, Brother Wang, the road you are taking is not easy, but you have come so far," Liu Cong said. well Liu Qi sighed.
He also knew that there was nothing he could do to persuade him.
Moreover, this was Liu Cong's own choice and he could not stop him.
After all, only the path he chose would be meaningful.
"Since you have already decided, I can't say more about who you want to take with you when you go this time, and who you want to leave the Nanman in charge of," Liu Qi asked.
"As long as Gong Yan is alone and five thousand barbarian soldiers are enough, as for the southern barbarian land, you can now leave it to the barbarian king Meng Huo with complete confidence.
As long as you are here, he will not have any different intentions," Liu Cong replied.
Liu Qi touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's up to you, and the affairs of the Southern Barbarians will be left to the Barbarian King Meng Huo.
I also believe in your recommendation."
"Thank you, Brother Wang," Liu Cong said with cupped hands.
He also thought that Liu Qi might disagree.
After all, with him and Jiang Wan and Jiang Gongyan stationed in Nanman, Liu Qi could completely rest assured about Nanman's affairs.
Now that he has left and Nanman is handed over to Meng Huo, there is a possibility that something may happen.
"No need to thank me, this is just your own decision.
What's more, you have already made your own decision now.
As long as you think it is right, I will not stop you."
Liu Qi waved his hand and continued: "And this is just my agreement.
As for your father, you have to decide for yourself.
Whether my father agrees or not is not something I can decide.
Of course, I will also write a letter.
Let me help you with the letter.
The final result will depend on how you persuade your father."
"If father agrees, he can explain the Nanman affairs and go directly without informing me."
Finished.
Liu Qi also stood up, turned and left.
Thinking about it, he was a little confused by Liu Cong's decision.

After all, he didn't expect Liu Cong to choose such a risky thing.
But then I stepped out of the pavilion.
Then he stopped, without looking back, and said quietly: "If you leave, remember to send letters back from time to time." immediately.
He didn't stay any longer, he took a step forward and left.
"promise" Liu Cong also held his hands towards Liu Qi's back.
Wait until Liu Qi leaves and disappears at the entrance of the garden.
He just straightened his clothes and left
