Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao, left the city overnight and rushed to Zhu Geliang's home in Mianyang.
Under the cover of night, Liu Qi brought only twenty guards. Upon reaching Mianyang, he knocked anxiously on Zhu Geliang's door: "Sir, Sir."
A child opened the door and asked, "May I ask if you are Liu Gongzi?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qi immediately nodded: "It is indeed me."
"My master has been waiting for you for some time, please follow me."
Hearing this, Liu Qi was overjoyed and hurriedly followed the child into the courtyard. The child led Liu Qi to the backyard where there was a pavilion. At this time, a fire brazier burned brightly within, surrounded by four mats where three people sat drinking leisurely.
Liu Qi recognized all three: Zhu Geliang, Liu Bei, and Huang Chengyan. To speak of it, Huang Chengyan was also Liu Qi's "Uncle," and the two were related; as for Liu Bei, Liu Qi had always treated him with respect and courtesy.
