Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yi frowned, his first thought was that Liu Qi wanted to say one thing and do another?But he immediately denied it, Liu Qi shouldn't be so bad.

Li Yi cast his eyes on Cai Yong, Cai Yong coughed dryly, and said: "Zhou Mu seems to have heard some rumors that the old man was taken captive, so he wanted to rescue one or two, but he didn't know the details, so he didn't dare to act rashly , That’s why I sent someone to find the old man privately to contact him.”

After a pause, Cai Yong added: "Young Master should not know about this matter."

Li Yi took another look at Cai Yong, no wonder he felt that the old guy's eyes were not right just now, so he was still thinking about what he had kidnapped him before.

Secretly muttering a word of caution, Li Yi smiled and said, "I might have worried about it earlier, but now I shouldn't have to, right?"

Li Yi didn't take this matter to heart. It's normal for Liu Biao to send someone to contact Cai Yong. After all, Cai Yong is so famous, not to mention that Cai Yong is willing to call the lord now. The integrity of such a character is absolutely full. Full, Li Yi is not worried at all that Liu Biao will use Cai Yong's hand to harm him.

Li Yi's attitude was very relaxed, but Cai Yong's expression turned serious when he didn't want to, and said seriously: "Master, this matter should not be taken lightly."

"Ok?"

Seeing that Cai Yong was so solemn, Li Yi frowned slightly, and put away his joking thoughts, and asked in doubt: "Why is this, please tell me clearly?"

Cai Yong pondered for a while, and said: "Although my lord has lofty aspirations, her wings are not yet fully developed. Although the situation in the world is undercurrent, it still needs to change. Therefore, for the time being, my lord should cultivate his moral character and accumulate strength in secret. Don't expose your heart too early. As pictured."

Li Yi nodded, motioning for Cai Yong to continue.

"Under the lord's command, Wu has Zhang Liao and Xu Huang. Both of them are enemies of ten thousand people. Wen has Jia Xu and Guo Jia. These two have sharp and meticulous thinking, especially the battle deduction. Even this old man is ashamed."

"These four people are all great talents in the world, and they have the ability to stabilize the country. If Zhou Mu knows that the lord has such a person under his command, he must be very afraid. The lord will definitely not live in Nanyang in the future."

"However, the state shepherd has never doubted the lord. Why? Because although the state shepherd thinks that the lord has a bright future, the lord lacks a foundation and no one under him can use him. Just like a tree without roots, although it is majestic for a while, it will not last long. Those four people are all shocking talents, but the name of shocking the world is missing."

Hearing this, Li Yi's heart moved, and he said in surprise, "You mean to say?"

Cai Yong smiled wryly, and said: "That's right. Although the old man is old, his military is no better than the two generals Zhang and Xu, and his scheme is not as good as the two sages Jia and Guo. It's just that the old man's false name is bigger than them."

Li Yi couldn't help showing a strange smile on his face. The people under his command were all so-so. Although they followed Li Yi to do a big event in Chang'an, Li Yi alone covered them all. So even though people in the world know the names of Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, they only think that they are their sons, and they don't think they are really powerful.

As for Huang Chengyan, although he is well-known, he is only in Jingzhou.

But Cai Yong is different, the prestige among today's literati, there are really few who can compare with Cai Yong, not to mention, Liu Biao is much worse than Cai Yong, otherwise Liu Biao would not be concerned about Cai Yong's affairs So proactive.

Therefore, it's fine for Li Yi to accept those "unknown people" as his subordinates. No one will care, and even secretly laugh at him.

But if even Cai Yong is accepted, and Cai Yong calls him a lord one by one, then it will be difficult for others to calm down. What is Li Yi's virtue and ability, even Cai Yong can be subdued?

Don't forget that Dong Zhuo was so majestic back then, he still treated Cai Yong with courtesy and didn't dare to neglect him, but until Dong Zhuo was completely cold, Cai Yong never called him a lord.

Based on the current situation in Jingzhou, Liu Biao knows Cai Yong's whereabouts, so he will definitely invite him. If Cai Yong rejects Liu Biao, and he is an official under Li Yi, Liu Biao will definitely have a knot in his heart, and this knot will not be small, no one can say for sure What will happen.

Li Yi frowned, and began to ponder how to deal with this matter.

Whether it's for the academy or for his own fame, Cai Yong definitely wants to stay by his side, this is not negotiable.

At the same time, let others have nothing to say, then

Li Yi was thinking about it, and suddenly found that there was a vague smile on the corner of Cai Yong's mouth all the time, Li Yi thought about it, and asked, "Mr. Cai already has a solution in his heart?"

"this one"

Cai Yong twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Actually, the old man has already delivered the solution to the master a few days ago, all you need is for the master to nod."

After finishing speaking, Cai Yong bowed and retreated, leaving Li Yi stunned, and soon understood Cai Yong's intentions, he was a little dumbfounded for a while, and at the same time, there was a bit of secret joy.

"I am pure"

After muttering something shamelessly in a low voice, Li Yi shouted out the door: "Is there any evil here?"

"Yes, my lord, please order!"

Dian Wei hurried in, waiting for Li Yi to give him an order.

Li Yi smiled and said slowly: "Go and tell the two gentlemen that I will take the only daughter of everyone in Cai as my concubine in ten days, and let them make proper arrangements and invite guests widely, so as not to lose the face of the prefect. "

Dian Wei looked serious at first, thinking it was a big deal, but when he heard that it was Li Yi's private matter, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll go and inform the two gentlemen right away."

"Go, remember, there is no need to keep a low profile at this time."

"Yes!"

After Dian Wei slapped his ass and left, Li Yi rubbed his face, feeling that the world is really good. He originally planned to play with flirts, fall in love first and then get married, but he was not in a hurry. Cai Yong, the old man People get angry first.

Li Yi is not a simple young man. The moment Cai Yong made a suggestion, he understood that it was true that Cai Yong wanted to avoid Liu Biao's troubles, and at the same time, he also wanted Li Yi and Cai Yan to get their names quickly. settle down.

After all, as Li Yi walked more and more steadily, some things naturally had to be done as early as possible.

Chapter 254

Early the next morning, the news that Li Yi wanted to take a concubine reached the ears of every family in Wancheng.

Although she is just a concubine, not a regular wife, so she doesn't need to make a big show of it, but this concubine has a famous father.

Coupled with Li Yi's deliberate promotion, it is foreseeable that the excitement of this matter will definitely not be worse than the formal marriage of a wife.

However, Li Yi left these matters to the people below, and he didn't participate much, because he slept in Diao Chan's room last night. Although Diao Chan didn't say anything, the acid water in his big eyes almost broke Li Yi's bones. Soak it up.

"Congratulations, Marquis Xiang!"

When Liu Qi saw Li Yi, he greeted Li Yi first. He also knew about Li Yi's concubine. Although he felt that it was inappropriate for Cai Yong's daughter to be a concubine, considering how outstanding Li Yi was, he wouldn't. Make people feel aggrieved.

Li Yi smiled, asked Liu Qi if he had a good rest last night, and exchanged some pleasantries, Liu Qi proposed to visit Cai Yong, and asked Li Yi to help introduce one or two.

Liu Qi just found out that Cai Yong was in Nanyang, so he yearned for Cai Yong's reputation very much, and felt that Li Yi would definitely not refuse, but Li Yi said that he would see Cai Yong again in the future, and then pulled Liu Qi to show him the situation in Wancheng At this time, Liu Qi would not refute Li Yi's face at all, so he could only agree.

The two walked side by side on the street, followed by more than a dozen guards including Dian Wei. On both sides of the road were people doing some small businesses. When they saw Li Yi, they saluted Li Yi from time to time, and Li Yi took the trouble to return the salute. Almost No one is left behind, it can be said that there is no airs at all.

Liu Qi looked at Li Yi's every move and was very surprised.

As a well-educated aristocrat, Liu Qi is also extremely polite when facing ordinary people, and will not make any despise.

However, Liu Qi knew very well in his heart that his own politeness to the people was a kind of kindness from the superiors. After all, the status of the people was incomparable to him. The reason why he wanted to be kind to the people was that the people were the cornerstone of the country. Harming the people is tantamount to self-destruction.

But Li Yi is different. Liu Qi feels that Li Yi seems to really place the people's position very high in his heart. Yi may wrinkle his nose, but there is no disgust in his eyes, and there is even strong compassion.

Liu Qi saw all this in his eyes, and wanted to ask a few times, but he was afraid that Li Yi would ask back, so he could only suppress his thoughts and follow Li Yi to continue walking.

Soon, the two of them left the city gate, and Li Yi took Liu Qi to the foot of a small hill, where he saw many people leveling the hillside, and many men were moving bluestones up the hill, all of them were already steaming. , but the interest is still very high, without the slightest attempt to be lazy.

Liu Qi sized it up for a while, although he couldn't see what it would look like in the future, but just looking at the surrounding outlines, he could conclude that the layout of this place must be quite large.

Liu Qi was curious, and asked casually: "Mr. Xiang, do you want to build another courtyard here?"

Liu Qi is not aimless, these days the dignitaries have two hobbies, one is to buy land, buy people, to become a big landlord, and the other is to build houses and keep dancers and maidservants for convenience and enjoyment.
