Liu Chan kicked him. A two-year-old child's kick was like a tickle to Kou Qi. Kou Qi, who was kicked, had to smile apologetically. He also knew that he could not afford to offend Liu Chan. If this matter reached his father's ears, Kou Qi believed that he would definitely be beaten to death. If this matter reached his brother, Liu Feng, who had changed his surname to Liu, Liu Feng would probably rush back from Jiangling overnight to give him a beating.
"You may be a playboy, but you're not stupid. You know what to do, right?" Liu Chan asked after kicking Kou Qi.
"I'll lead the way now. I'll definitely treat you well when we reach my house.”Kou Qi said.
Liu Chan chuckled. Kou Qi was puzzled and blurted out,""What's wrong? Aren't you going to my house?"
"Kou Qi, you hit and injured someone on the street today. Have you forgotten about this matter?"”
Kou Qi suddenly understood." I'll immediately send someone to bring money and ask the physician to compensate the injured."”
"Go apologize personally." Chen Dao said.
Kou Qi looked troubled. Liu Chan raised his head and asked,""Not happy?"
"I'm happy to," said Kou Qi with a smile.
"Then you can go. I'll go to your house to visit the elders.”Liu Chan said.
Kou Qi ran away, and the soldiers of the Kou Clan who were lying on the ground helped each other up and quickly escaped.
Jiang Wan followed Liu Chan into Luo County City. Jiang Wan, who had been holding it in for a long time, could not help but ask,"Is this it?"
"What else does Gongyan want?" asked Liu Chan.”
"No, what I mean is that Kou Qi injured someone. Is it over just by paying compensation and apologizing?”Jiang Wan said indignantly.
Liu Chan shook his head and said no more. There were many things that Jiang Wan did not understand now, but she would understand in the future.
One of the reasons why Liu Bei had adopted Liu Feng was because Liu Feng was indeed a talented person. But there was another reason, which was to befriend the Kou Clan. The Kou Clan had been the Marquis of Luo County for a hundred years. The entire Luo County could be said to belong to the Kou Clan.
Not to mention Liu Bei, even Cao Cao would not dare to offend such a great clan.
In this chaotic world, the great clans still had their tentacles everywhere. They were the true rulers.
Liu Bei had always been trying to win over the aristocratic families of Jingnan. As his son, he couldn't possibly sabotage them, right?
The Luo Hou Kou Clan did not weaken because of the decline of the Great Han Dynasty's imperial court. Instead, it grew even larger. Old Luo Hou was in his fifties and had a head full of white hair. However, Old Luo Hou Kou Fang was not very enthusiastic about the two-year-old Liu Chan. After a polite reception, Liu Chan tactfully took his leave.
Walking out of Luo Marquis Manor, Kou Qi happened to be back. When he saw Liu Chan, Kou Qi greeted him,""Brother Ah Dou, are you leaving?"
"Are you happy that I'm leaving?" Liu Chan said with interest.
"Hahahaha, how could that be? Brother Ah Dou, don't tell my father and my eldest brother about what happened today. Otherwise, I'll be dead for sure.”Kou Qi begged.
"Alright, you're not allowed to bully the people in the future.
If I hear that you're domineering and take advantage of the people, I'll tell Brother Feng that you threatened to kill me when I came to Luo County.”
"I promise I won't bully anyone.”Kou Qi patted his chest and promised.
"Alright, then I'll leave. You should hurry back too.”Liu Chan was not interested in talking to Kou Qi.
After Kou Qi left, Chen Dao smiled and said,"This coward can't even be a good-for-nothing.”
"Isn't it good that such a person is in charge of the Kou Corporation in the future?" Jiang Wan said gloomily.”
Liu Chan smiled." Let's not talk about this. I'll go back to sleep and then go to Linxiang."”
……
Linxiang was less than a hundred miles away from Luo County. It was summer now, and the Xiang River was surging, surging northward with great momentum.
Liu Chan and his group followed the path south along the banks of the Xiang River. Along the way, they saw beautiful scenery. However, the population was sparse, and most of the areas were in a desolate and uninhabited state.
"This era is still an era where humans are fighting against nature. It is far from the point of conquering nature.”Liu Chan sighed in his heart.
In the future, the two banks of the Xiang River were huge granaries and could be said to be a land of fish and rice.
The road was difficult, and it took them a whole day to reach Linxiang City.
Linxiang City was just like its name. It was built near the Xiangjiang River. It had three walls and one side was near the Xiangjiang River. The river was used as a barrier.
However, when they arrived at the city gate, they saw countless residents rushing out of the city with their families and valuables.
"What happened?" Liu Chan asked curiously.
Chen Dao ordered people to stop a citizen who was running away and asked. It turned out that the Xiang River had soared and the upstream flood had arrived. The lowlands on the water side of Linxiang City had been soaked by the flood, and hundreds of houses had been flooded. At this time, the flood was still rising.
"Although there are one or two floods that enter the city every year, and the people in Linxiang City are already used to it, they said that the flood this time is bigger than before and I'm afraid that it will drown the entire Linxiang City. Therefore, everyone ran out of the city to seek refuge with their relatives outside the city.”Chen Dao said to Liu Chan.
"The city will soon be flooded. Young Master, should we enter the city?”Chen Dao asked.
"Every spring, summer, and rainy season, Linxiang City will experience a flood of varying sizes. This is also why Linxiang City, as a prefecture, is not as large as Luo County. However, due to its geographical location, Linxiang has to be the prefecture.”Jiang Wan said.
Linxiang was located in the middle of the Xiangshui River and connected to Yuzhang in the east. It was the gateway to the east of Changsha Prefecture. At the same time, Linxiang was the starting point of the Lingnan Ancient Road that connected Jingzhou to Jiaozhou in the south.
This was a place that the militarists would fight for. It had great strategic significance, so it was set up as Changsha Prefecture.
"Let's go in and take a look. Send someone to rent a courtyard at a high place outside the city.”Liu Chan said.
"Here!" Chen Dao immediately arranged for people to search for a place that could accommodate a group of people.
After entering the city, there was no panic on the streets. Many shops began to close and move their goods. The hawkers who set up stalls also packed up and prepared to leave the city.
It was obvious that they had experienced it many times, so the people in the city did not panic.
"Let's go directly to the west of the city to see the water situation."
The west side of the city was facing the water. At this time, the water had already reached the windows of the houses. The terrain here ranged from low to high. Liu Chan stood on the street and could see that the water was slowly rising.
"At this rate, the entire Linxiang City will be flooded in less than two hours.”Jiang Wan said.
"After the flood comes the plague. It's impossible for Zhang Ji not to take action at that time. Young Master, Mrs. Gan's illness cannot be delayed.”Chen Dao couldn't help but worry that the flood would hold Zhang Ji back.
Liu Chan looked at the turbulent river surface. The turbid and yellowish river water surged down. In the river, there was actually a person fighting in the flood. This person's head was exposed on the river surface. He would dive for a while and then appear on the surface again. The rapid river water did not seem to be able to wash him away.
Chen Dao and Jiang Wan also noticed this scene, and the two of them were dumbfounded.
