That night, the spring rain was scattered.

Kuai Yuexun returned to the inn and ordered his servant to make a bowl of sobering soup, then washed his face with cold water, and he immediately became much more awake.

Twist!

The door knocked, and the door was pulled open immediately, and Huang Jiang walked in from outside.

"Another degree, sober up?"

Kuai Yue leaned against the couch and exhaled a breath of turbid air, "Chengyan, I was not drunk at all."

Huang Jiang laughed, sat down aside, looked at Kuai Yue and said, "How about it, can you make a decision?"

"What do you think about Cheng Yan?"

Kuai Yue asked back, stood up and walked to the door, signaling the retainers outside the door to alert him, then returned to sit down, and took another sip of honey water.

"This boy is quite decisive and his goal is quite small."

Huang Jiang smiled and said, "It can be seen that he is not as arrogant as a young man, and he is more aware of everything he does. I have a feeling that he will not live in Beihai or Donglai for a long time. This is just a temporary place for him to live, not an indispensable foundation."

Kuai Yue nodded, "What Chengyan said is extremely true."

This Huangjiang is just a pseudonym.

Huang Chengyan's real name is Huang Qi. He is the elder brother of the prefect of Jiangxia Huang Zu. He also came from the Huang family of Jiangxia.

Huang Zu's beheading Ni Heng at the beginning of the year made Huang Chengyan very angry. He left Jiangxia with his daughter, which was equivalent to drawing a clear line with Huang Zu. After living in Wolonggang for a few days, he was invited by Kuai Yue, saying that he was going to go on a mission to Gaomi. Huang Chengyan also wanted to go out for a walk, and at the same time was very interested in Liu Chuang's papermaking and compilation of books. After all, this is a grand event in the literary world... Haven't you seen those hermits who have lived in the mountains for a long time come out to the mountains and come to the mountains and come here? Huang Chengyan is also a famous scholar, so naturally he doesn't want to miss such a grand event.

So, Huang Chengyan came with his wife and children with Kuai Yue.

He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, "Has the alien made a decision?"

Kuai Yue smiled, "It's not a good idea to make a decision, but I was taught by Zhongling Hou back then. Today I can help him, which can be considered as repaying the friendship of the past. Besides, it is reasonable to prepare for the future. Although he is not qualified to enter Jingzhou now, how can he know that there is no chance in the future? If you make friends one day earlier, you will have more affection. If I help him today, I will probably repay my favor in the future."

Huang Chengyan smiled.

"Yi Di, you are indeed very calculating."

Kuai Yue smiled bitterly, "What are you talking about? You can only protect yourself.

I don't believe it. You, Huang Chengyan, didn't see the strangeness here. Liu Jingsheng has decided to attack the five major surnames of Jingxiang. It was your Huang family before, and my Kuai family will not be able to escape his life in the future. If it weren't for this, how could you easily get into a traveling heart?"

Huang Chengyan couldn't help laughing, and pointed at Kuai Yue with a finger, but did not defend himself.

He could see Liu Biao's intentions, and Kuai Yue could naturally find out... Even the Xi family, including Pang Shi, may have seen clues, but the relationship between Pang Shi and Xi family and Liu Biao is relatively deeper, and Liu Biao will not plot against them in a short period of time.

Among the five major surnames, the Cai family is closest to Liu Biao, and the Huang family has always supported Liu Biao, but at the same time it is outside the core of Liu Biao. After all, Huang Zu was the prefect of Jiangxia and held troops and was considered a prince. The Huang family has a deep family and a family of three dukes in two generations and three kings has great influence. Even if Liu Biao is a royal relative and a governor of Jingzhou, it will not shake the Huang family's status in Jingzhou, especially Jiangxia.

So, Liu Biao's first sword fell on Huang's head.

Kuai Yue said: "Then are you going to go?"

"Of course I have to go."

Huang Chengyan whispered: "It is not a good time to return to Jingzhou now.

Although Huang has surrendered to Liu Biao, he may not let us go easily... From now on, it will be better to pass on the Huang family's poetry and books. Don't talk about national affairs anymore. If I can participate in the editing of books, at least I can keep my Huang family style. With this level, Liu Biao will not do anything to me after returning."

Making paper and writing books is like gilding abroad in later generations.

The Huang family of Jiangxia now also needs such a halo, otherwise they will be plotted to death by Liu Biao sooner or later.

Kuai Yue understood Huang Chengyan's thoughts. In fact, the reason why he came to Gaomi to meet Liu Chuang was that he hoped to get some external support.

Otherwise, he knew that Huang Zhong from Gan Ning was the bravest army, but he would not stop Liu Biao from summoning him?

"What do you do?"

Huang Chengyan looked at Kuai Yue and asked.

Kuai Yue thought about it, raised his lips and said softly: "Don't worry, Jing Sheng can't plot against me."

"oh?"

"After going back this time, I will give up the Kuai family's property in Nanjun, and then suggest that Zirou move his family south and go to Guiyang."

Huang Chengyan was stunned when he heard this, and then he immediately showed a sudden look.

"You want to..."

"Guiyang is deserted and remote, with wild mountains and rampant, facing Jiaozhou in the south and Yuzhang in the east, it is a barren land.

But because of this, Jingsheng will never be stingy with Guiyang... I will ask Liu Mengyan for a letter tomorrow. According to Guiyang's friendship with Shi Xie, a hundred years later, my Kuai family will definitely be more prosperous than it is now. Not to mention, if I give up Nanjun, how can Liu Jingsheng not compensate me?"

Huang Chengyan suddenly realized, pointed to Kuai Yue and said softly: "Yi Du, you have taken a dangerous step."

"It's not clear whether it's dangerous or not.

But I knew that if Kuai went to Guiyang, Liu Jingsheng would no longer have the excuse to plot against my Kuai family.

Chengyan, if this matter is done, why don’t you go to Guiyang with me? It’s better to stay away from right and wrong than to be so nervous now, wouldn’t it be nice?”

Huang Chengyan smiled and shook his head and said, "If you, Kuai, go to Guiyang, I will not be allowed to go."

Kuai Yue immediately understood that he could go to Guiyang by himself. If even Huang moved to Guiyang, it would inevitably arouse Liu Biao's alertness.

At this time, it is best not to join the group. The more you join the group, the more likely you are to be afraid of Liu Biao, which will be counterproductive.

Huang Chengyan said: "I want a hero to cut off his arm, but I also want to take risks.

I will stay there and continue to observe Liu Chuang for a while. If Liu Chuang can accomplish this, I will rely on him and protect Huang's family."

Personal choices are different. Huang's vitality was severely damaged after a suppression by Liu Biao.

If you move to Guiyang again, you will be suspicious of Liu Biao, and on the other hand, it will cause turmoil within the clan, which will be unbeautiful.

Therefore, the Kuai family could move south, but the Huang family could not.

Huang Chengyan decided to use his future to see if he could find a way out...

The next day, Huang Chengyan took his daughter and his retainers and said goodbye to Kuai Yue and went straight to the right.

He did not inform Liu Chuang and left quietly. However, Huang Chengyan also knew that since he showed up yesterday, how could Liu Chuang not pay attention to him?

Anyway, he has nothing to fear, so it is the best choice for him to edit books.

After Huang Chengyan left, Kuai Yue came to visit Liu Chuang alone.

As expected, during the conversation, Liu Chuang asked him about Huang Chengyan's origin, but Kuai Yue did not hide it and explained Huang Chengyan's identity.

"Meng Yan, don't blame me. Cheng Yan came here with a change of name and surname this time, and was forced to do so.

I guess Meng Yan also heard that Huang Zu killed Ni Heng in Jiangxia, which shocked Shi Lin, so Cheng Yan is also cautious now and has no disrespect for Meng Yan."

"So it's Huang Chengyan!"

Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment and exclaimed softly.

To be honest, his impression of Huang Chengyan was very vague, limited to the appearance in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

In addition, it was his son-in-law Zhuge Liang... The reason why Liu Chuang sighed was also that he lamented the wonder of fate. Zhuge Liang could not go to Jingzhou, but Huang Chengyan came to Gaomi. He didn't know how old Huang Chengyan's daughter is now? Will Zhuge Liang become his son-in-law? When he thought of this, Liu Chuang couldn't help but wonder how this would develop in the future.

"Meng Yan, we are wise people and don't do secret things."

Kuai Yue thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I came to Gaomi here, but it is actually two things, one public and one private.

Logically speaking, I should have talked about official affairs first. But now, I want to talk about private affairs first... The matter of Ni Heng is actually a manifestation of Liu Jingzhou's dissatisfaction with my Jingxiang clan. My Kuai family has lived in Jingxiang for generations since my ancestor Kuai Tong. Liu Jingzhou wanted to surrender to my family, but I was unwilling to bow down and surrender. Yesterday, when Meng Yan talked about Shiweikao, I remembered something, hoping to get help from Meng Yan..."

Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Kuai Yue to speak straight to the point.

He pondered, "How can Mr. Yidu need my help?"

"I need a letter from Meng Yan to make me get along with Weikao."

Kuai Yue's eyes were bright and he stared at Liu Chuang.

He did not hide his ideas, but said them openly, which also increased Liu Chuang's favorability towards him a lot.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, high-ranking clans had not yet emerged, but the aristocratic families had begun to take shape. He could understand Kuai Yue's idea. He was loyal to the court, loyal to Liu Biao, but even more loyal to his own family. Especially the Kuai family, which had been a hundred years old, had a deep inheritance. Liu Biao first came to Jingzhou and relied on the five major surnames of Jingxiang to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou. However, as his authority grew, he would not be willing to be left alone again.

Therefore, the conflict between Liu Biao and the Jingzhou gentry could not be avoided.

Not to mention, Liu Biao was very skillful... He first got married to the Cai family, got the help of the Cai family, and won over Xi and Pang families.

Although Huang and Cai are also relatives, Huang Chengyan's wife is the sister of Liu Biao's wife Cai's, Huang's holding Jiangxia military power has always been a concern for Liu Biao's confidant. As long as Huang's arrogance is destroyed, Liu Biao can control Jingzhou more steadily...

This is also an inducement to why the Kuai brothers later advocated surrendering to Cao Cao.

To put it bluntly, the conflict between the gentry of Jingzhou and Liu Biao was no longer irreconcilable in the later period. In order to protect their own interests, the Kuai brothers naturally could not tolerate Liu Bei's occupation of Jingxiang. There are many tricks here, but they cannot be clearly stated in one sentence. In short, Kuai Yue expressed his attitude to Liu Chuang, and this attitude was naturally the result that Liu Chuang was most happy to see.

"In this way, Mr. Yidu wants to move south to Guiyang?"

“That’s right.”

Kuai Yue whispered: "This is a secret between you and me, just like I know that Han Xingba is brave, but I have not stopped him."

Liu Chuang showed a smile on his face and stretched out his hand and said, "Since that's the case, you and I will swear by high-fives."

Kuai Yue did not hesitate, and reached out to slap Liu Chuang three times, and the secret alliance between Kuai and Liu Chuang was formed.

"Then, what's the matter next?"

Kuai Yue said seriously: "Liu Jingzhou ordered me to come this time, and he hoped to form an alliance with Meng Yan."
