Yuan Shu's face became a little gloomy, and his two gazes were like two sharp arrows, shooting hard on Liu Qi.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little cold and the atmosphere was quite awkward.

Even Zhang Ren and Wei Yan behind Liu Qi felt something was wrong.

On Yuan Shu's right hand, Yan Xiang, the chief clerk under his ruler, saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly said, "The young master came to borrow the rituals on behalf of the envoy Liu, which should be a sign of showing kindness. But my master and the envoy Liu borrowed grain, but the young master refused to give it a hu of money. Isn't this a way to be kind?"

Yan Xiang's wisdom and cunning are beyond the ordinary people. He is speaking, eases the atmosphere for Liu Qi and Yuan Shu, and also reminds Liu Qi, since you are here to borrow a way, but you are not very strict, aren't you very unruly?

Since you have something to ask for, you have to burst into blood.

But unfortunately, Yan Xiang misjudged Liu Qi.

Mr. Liu just refused to go down this level.

"Nanyang County and Nanjun are both affiliated with Jingzhou, and they are originally one. Yuan Gong borrowed grain on behalf of Nanyang County. Yan Jun should have agreed, but this year, there were many turmoils in Nanjun. Cang Ao was already unable to make ends meet, so it is difficult to borrow grain to get Yuan Gong again."

Yuan Shu sneered and forced him to force him: "Jingsheng won't give me food, that's right! In the worst case, Yuan just chose a day to lead his troops to Xiangyang to get food."

Wei Yan behind Liu Qi was furious when he heard this. He frowned and stared at Yuan Shu with his eyes tightly, as if he was about to spit out fire.

Ji Ling seemed to have observed Wei Yan's changes, and also glared at him.

Liu Qi said slowly: "On the day when Mr. Yuan arrives, Mr. Yan should set up 50,000 flags to welcome him."

Yuan Shu was angry when he heard this. He was about to have anger, but Liu Qi added word by word: "It's a pity that famous families do not give people good deeds, and only let the concubine's son be the domineering."

When Yan Xiang heard this, he was shocked.

Why is Mr. Liu so bold that he dares to call him a clerk in front of Yuan Shu?

Isn't this seeking death?

Yan Xiang was afraid that Yuan Shu would be furious for a moment and would kill Liu Qi, so the trouble would be really a big deal.

After all, Liu Qi came on behalf of the clan alliance. If Yuan Shu really touched him, it would be like forcing all the Liu clans to the opposite side. For the people in the world, Yuan Shu also placed himself on the target of public criticism.

If the later general was really angry, he would have to protect Liu Qi even if he had been advised to death.

Yan Xiang was sweating like rain. He looked at Yuan Shu in a blink of an eye, but found that his gloomy expression had just disappeared. The expression he looked at Liu Qi was full of surprise.

Seeing this, Yan Xiang couldn't help but be surprised.

The queen general, who has always been arrogant, was humiliated in public by a junior today. How could he be shocked without being angry?

This is a bit unreasonable.

Liu Qi smiled at Yuan Shu.

He believed that among all the people here, no matter who can't hear a pun in his words, Yuan Shu would definitely be able to hear it.

He is talking about the concubine's son, not the prince's son.

Liu Qi, who came from later generations, knew that humans had subconscious.

The way the human brain receives information is divided into two ways: conscious and unconscious reception. Every day, it will be stimulated to varying degrees of tangible or intangible, which will attract attention and produce different degrees of reaction. Conscious reception is the human brain that perceptually receives information about stimulation of surrounding things; and unconscious reception is the human brain that unconsciously receives stimulation of surrounding things.

This is called the subconscious.

Liu Qi knew that the degree of disagreement between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao in history was close to the scope of enemies.

Calculated by time, not long after, a fierce battle between the two Yuan brothers broke out, and the scope of the two tribes broke out.

Liu Qi believes that in Yuan Shu's subconscious mind, he often thinks that Yuan Shao is his competitor, intentionally or unintentionally, and is extremely sensitive to things about Yuan Shao in his heart.

With Yuan Shu's arrogant personality, the constant rise of his son Yuan Shao was like a curse for him, bothering him every day.

But among the Yuan clan, besides Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, there are also well-known people including Yuan Ji, Yuan Yi, Yuan Yin, Yuan Xu and others. Why are these two people alone not in harmony?

The reason why Yuan Shao, as a concubine, was already above Yuan Shu.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Yuan Shu, who is the legitimate son.

But the current situation is based on the Yuan brothers, and all the governors and county magistrates are fighting against Dong Zhuo. At this critical moment, the disagreement between the Yuan brothers has been suppressed in my heart. Even if it is occasionally revealed, it seems to be just an ordinary discord to outsiders, which is not worth worrying.

This is also what Yan Xiang and others have never explored and understood. Yuan Shu was most anxious deep in his heart.

At present, only Liu Qi, a later generation, knows that the attitude of the Yuan brothers towards each other has long been no simple disagreement.

Based on their performance next year, the Yuan brothers... at least Yuan Shu has reached the point where he is jealous and aroused hatred.

...

Yuan Shu took a deep breath and ignored Liu Qi's words. He rarely spoke at the next banquet, but just absent-mindedly dealing with Liu Qi, and he did not continue to ask for food and fodder from Liu Qi.

Liu Qi knew in his heart that the hatred in Yuan Shu's heart was always hidden. Now that this subconscious mind was suddenly discovered by himself, he needed a process of digestion.

He also believed that compared to the food and fodder, he had something more interesting to him.

"Liu Lang came to Luyang from afar and was exhausted all the way. He went back to the inn to rest. He would let me think about it carefully."

Liu Qi stood up and said to Yuan Shu's forehead: "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, so Qi left first... Liu Qi has one thing that is related to what he said just now, which can help Mr. Yuan resolve his confusion."

Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes and thought for a while and said, "Lu Lang, go first. After Yuan thought clearly, he would talk to the young master in detail."

...

After Liu Qi left, Chen Lan asked Yuan Shu: "The descendant general, the Liu family's child was so rude to the general, and he dared to face the Zhihu General in person, for that, that..."

He didn't say the word "Shu Zi" after all.

Yuan Shu didn't care and said, "It's just a trivial matter."

Everyone present was stunned.

Is this a trivial matter?

Of course, there are not all people who cannot hear the strangeness. Some people like Yang Hong and Han Yin who are good at guessing Yuan Shu's thoughts have heard some clues in Liu Qi's words.

Yuan Shu thought for a while and suddenly asked Han Yin: "Can the letter to Yuan Benchu ​​be sent out?"

Han Yin hurriedly stood up and said, "Reporting to the post of the General, the general has already drafted a reply letter and sent people to send them to the north day and night. I think he has now entered the territory of Jizhou."

Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's great."

When Yan Xiang heard this, a hint of tension suddenly arose in his heart.

"What letters did the general send to Yuan Shao? How could he not know about the ecstasy?"

Yuan Shu smiled slightly: "The chief clerk is busy with everything and is still responsible for preparing food and grass for Sun Wentai. It is a trivial matter. Shu couldn't bear to bother the chief clerk, so he made the decision on his own... and refused Yuan Shao's invitation."

Yan Xiang was shocked when he heard this: "The general returned to Yuan Shao's request? Wouldn't there be any gap between the two families? Then Yuan Shao held a grudge against the general, what should he do?"

A fierce light suddenly burst out from Yuan Shu's eyes. He didn't say it directly in front of him, but the voice in his subconscious sounded in his mind again.
