"If the Ming court wants to go, there is nothing wrong with it." Seeing Liu Jing's insistence, Gong Ying sighed: "To be honest with the Ming court, I am not on good terms with Chu Ziping. If I go with the Ming court to his house, I am afraid that Chu will be disturbed.
Ziping felt unhappy."
Liu Jing said in his heart that indeed, after hearing what Gong Ying said before, he knew that they were definitely not the same person, and now this guess was confirmed.
As the saying goes, "One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers." It has always been a good thing for heroes to cherish each other, but it is normal to dislike each other.
As the leading figures in Ling County, Chu Fang and Gong Ying had completely different backgrounds and experiences. It is not surprising that they had conflicts.
"That's it." Liu Jing nodded and said. "Since ancient times, heroes and heroes are mostly arrogant people. There are some who cherish each other, and there are also those who reject each other. Since there is a conflict between the meritorious Cao Cao and Chu Ziping, then I will not force others to do anything.
Already."
"Thank you Ming Ting." Gong Ying bowed deeply and said, "Chu Ziping's family is in the west of the city. Everyone in the county knows about this. If Ming Ting wants to go to his home, just tell the officials directly."
Liu Dingding nodded, then walked out of the hall and called all the officials. As Gong Ying said, they all knew where Chu Fang lived, and when they talked about Chu Fang, they all showed great respect.
Liu Jing was filled with emotion. He thought he had paid enough attention to Chu Fang, but he still underestimated his influence among the people of Ling County.
During the three years that Chu Fang paid filial piety to his mother, he never left the cemetery, but his influence did not weaken in the slightest just because he "disappeared" for three years.
Liu Jing boarded the carriage, accompanied by Liu Liang, Yu Zheng, Ma Zhou and a group of cavalry.
Liu Jing had originally intended to win over Shen Sheng, but Shen Sheng had already recruited Cang Cao and the jailer to formally take over the work of the county magistrate. He was so busy that he had no time to go out with him.
Due to the complicated situation in Ling County, Liu Jing had already made plans in his mind before he came. He was planning to entrust Zheng Zheng to take charge of county affairs. In layman's terms, he was to serve as the county magistrate.
As the name suggests, a serious person has a serious temperament, is diligent in public affairs, and does not show favoritism to personal interests. Such a person who "doesn't care about oil and salt" can quickly open up a situation even if there are thorns in front of him.
Liu Jing valued this very much. By pushing him to the front, he could hide behind the scenes and be in a position where he could advance and attack and retreat and defend, making himself invincible.
Liu Zhu, Wang Qiang, and Shanri Heze had other important matters to attend to. They did not even follow Liu Jing into the city, but all stayed in Leishuijin.
With a crisp sound of horse hooves, Liu Jing drove his car out of the gate of the county temple, and headed straight to the west of the city under the attention of countless soldiers and people of Lingxian County.
The people of Lingxian County all speculated on the purpose of Liu Jing's trip. You must know that he entered the county temple first and then left the house. What on earth could make the county king so anxious?
In fact, the result is not difficult to guess. In the entire Lingxian County, only Chu Fang, who had just finished observing filial piety, was able to get the magistrate of the county to visit him personally regardless of the fatigue of the journey. The people of Lingxian County all looked proud and honored.
As soon as Liu Jing's car entered the inner gate, Chu Fang got the news. He was so shocked that he didn't have time to think about it. He immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and ran out of the house to greet him.
The wheels rolled and stopped in front of Chu's house. Liu Jing sat in the car with his back straight, quietly looking at Chu Fang who was waiting beside him.
According to rumors, Chu Fang was highly skilled in martial arts and extremely courageous. After defecting to Sun Jian, he traveled across the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang, and was often the champion in the battles with rebels such as Ou Xing, Zhou Chao, and Guo Shi.
, moving forward in an indomitable way.
According to this, Chu Fang should be a stalwart man who is eight feet long and as strong as a mountain, as tall as Yao Qi and Gai Yan.
However, when I saw him today, it was a little bit beyond Liu Jing's expectation. He was only seven feet, three or four inches tall, and his appearance was a little ordinary, not very majestic, but his body was thicker, far stronger than ordinary people.
If it weren't for the confirmation in other people's eyes, Liu Jing almost thought he had recognized the wrong person. However, he does not "judge people by their appearance." As the saying goes, "There is no good person under a great reputation." Chu Fang can have today's prestige because of
"Filial piety and bravery", not appearance.
When Liu Jing looked at Chu Fang, Chu Fang was also sizing up Liu Jing secretly. Although he had been living in the mountains to observe filial piety for his mother in the past few years, he was so famous that people came to the mountains to visit him every day, so he was not known to the outside world.
It’s not that I don’t know anything. The most famous person in Changsha in recent years is undoubtedly the person in front of me.
Chu Fang did not attach great importance to Liu Jing's so-called "working hard to support customers" and "rescuing neighbors by pledging letters". What he valued was Liu Jing's ability to capture district heroes and recruit Cai Sheng.
There is also the song "Xia Ke Xing". As a knight, if you don't know this poem, you will be embarrassed to call yourself a knight.
Liu Jing got down from the car, stopped Chu Fang's salute in time, and said: "Brother Chu, there is no need to be polite. The people I admire most in my life are people like Brother Chu who have filial piety.
I and my elder brother lost their parents and were raised by my stepmother. My elder brother was born with a filial heart and served his stepmother as never before. He was well known in the countryside for his filial piety. Unfortunately, when I was traveling to Xiangyang to study in the north, my elder brother suddenly contracted a serious illness and passed away. I could not even see him.
The last time he saw me, I felt deeply regretful." When Liu Jing said this, there was inevitably a trace of sadness in his tone.
Chu Fang was aroused by Liu Jing's sadness, and couldn't help but sigh: "I also have a younger brother who died of swollen feet before he was old enough."
"Nine out of ten people are unhappy in life, let's not talk about this." Liu Jing shook his head, pointed at Ma Zhou who could not hide his excitement beside him, and introduced Chu Fang: "Brother Chu, this is Ma Zhou and Ma Zijin from Leiyang.
"
Chu Fang clasped his fists and said: "It turns out that the one under your feet is Leiyang Ma Zijin."
After hearing this, Ma Zhou couldn't help but be overjoyed. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Chu, do you know me?"
Chu Fang laughed and said, "Brother Ma is joking. No matter how ignorant I am, how can I not recognize Brother Ma?"
Ling County and Leiyang are under the control of Changsha County and Guiyang County. Although they belong to two counties, the two counties are connected by land. Ma Zhou is not an unknown person in Leiyang. Chu Fang has heard of his name a little bit.
Not surprising.
However, in the eyes of Chu Fang in the past, Ma Zhou was just better than ordinary rangers. After Liu Jing captured Ou Xiong and his henchmen, it was not only Cai Sheng who became famous in Jingnan, Ma Zhou also became famous, and Chu Fang also became famous.
Only then did Fang take a closer look.
Ma Zhou laughed and said, "With Brother Chu's words, my Ma Zhou's wish is enough."
Liu Jing smiled and shook his head, and introduced Yu Zheng and Liu Liang to Chu Fang.
Yu Zheng was tall, half a head taller than Chu Fang, and stared at Chu Fang with bright eyes.
Yu Zheng has a calm personality, but he is a knight-errant after all, so he will inevitably have a tendency to compare. The first time he met Cai Sheng and Ma Zhou was in the military camp, so they could get along with each other in peace. Now that he met Chu Fang, who was famous in Jingnan,
