At this time, several principal figures of the Wang family gathered together at Wang Yun's house. Wang Yun held the greeting card sent by Wei Ping in his hand. The content on it made it difficult for Wang Yun to calm down.
Wang Yun stood up from his brother Wang Ze and said:
"Brother, let me go there personally. I have heard a little bit about this guy and he is worth recruiting." Another middle-aged man shook his head and said:
"That's not right. I heard that this son has a sworn relationship with Dong Zhuo. If he recruits someone rashly, he might attract thieves into the house. Wang Yun raised his hand to stop the two of them from talking. Wang Yun put the invitation in his hand on the low table in front of him and said:
"Let's take a look at what's written in this invitation." Everyone stood up and looked around. With just one glance, the people who denied recruiting Wei Cheng shut their mouths.
When Wang Yun saw this, he said:
"This is not a simple greeting, but a timely gift." Everyone looked at each other, Wang Ze nodded slightly and said:
"Without further ado, I'll leave the city right now." Wang Yun said 'hmm'. Then he solemnly warned:
"Remember, you must treat each other with courtesy. Also, take Gaier and Ling'er with you. Don't neglect it. Wang Ze raised his hand,
"Brother, don't worry, I know what's appropriate." After Wang Ze left, everyone looked at the greeting card again and saw more than a dozen seals on it, the most conspicuous of which were: Wei family, Cai family, Yang family , Pei's family, Fan's family... are all the public seals of the great families of the Han Dynasty.
Wang Yun doesn't know Wei Cheng's purpose of going south to Luoyang yet, but just these dozen public seals are enough to attract his attention to Wei Cheng.
Nowadays, Dong Zhuo's dictatorship is domineering, and the family needs to be unified. Wei Cheng's 'gift' comes at just the right time.
Outside Luoyang City. Wei Cheng and others rested all afternoon at the inn. As the sun was approaching sunset, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the inn. The scene was so loud that it scared away the business travelers. Wang Ze and his two nephews got off their horses. After looking at each other, they raised their hands to Wei Ping and said:
"I would like to ask you to tell me something, strong man, so as not to disturb your nephew's rest." Wei Ping bowed his hand in return and walked into the post house.
Wei Cheng, who was resting in the room, had already received the news. When he saw Wei Ping, he motioned for him to wait aside.
"Don't worry, the supporting characters haven't appeared yet." Wei Cheng said with a smile. After about a stick of incense. Another group of people came galloping on the official road. Li Jiu took the lead. When he saw the Wang family and his party gathered at the door of the post station, his expression suddenly changed. Unexpectedly, he was a step too slow to hurry up.
Wang Ze and others also noticed Li Cui. The uncle and nephew frowned and looked wary. Li Ji and others were followed by a large luxury carriage. In order to show that Dong Zhuo valued Wei Cheng, they specially prepared the carriage. It was a step too late. Judging from the appearance alone, the Wang family was slightly inferior.
Li Ji snorted coldly and motioned for his men to wait. He turned over and dismounted, and walked straight into the post house without even looking at Wang Ze and the others.
At this moment, Wei Cheng happened to walk out with someone. When he saw Wei Cheng, Li Jiu bowed first. He had seen Wei Cheng's portrait and had done a good job.
In contrast, the three people on Wang's side were confused. They had never seen Wei Cheng before, and they had no idea that the young master in front of them was the person they were looking for. It was Li Ji who took the lead.
But Wang also has Wang's advantages. I saw Wang Gai, Wang Yun’s son, laughing and stepping forward and saying:
"Brother Xian, you must be Xian brother Zhongdao. Let's say goodbye in a hurry. It's been ten years since we last met. Brother Yu, I miss you very much. When I heard you came to Luoyang, my mother immediately asked me to come and invite you. You." Wei Cheng looked flattered, cupped his hands and said:
"Oh, I wonder who this dear friend is?" Wang Gai's face jumped, covering up his embarrassment, and answered with cupped hands:
"I, Wang Gai, Wang Bodang, my mother is your cousin, after all, we are still cousins."
"Oh oh oh, it turns out to be cousin Bodang. I'm sorry. We haven't seen each other for many years. Cousin Bodang has become more and more handsome. I didn't recognize him for a moment... Who are those two?" Wang Gai called Wei Cheng directly when he saw him. Cousin, he glanced at Li Cui proudly, and then introduced:
"This is my third uncle, and this is my younger brother Wang Ling. You can just call him Xiao Wu."
"It turns out to be Third Uncle Wang. My nephew is rude." Wei Cheng showed enough etiquette and felt a bit like he was showing off his relatives.
Li Jie didn't expect that Wei Cheng and Wang Yun were involved in family ties, and was at a loss for a moment. However, he was Dong Zhuo's military adviser after all, so he calmed down in an instant.
"Li Jie has met the young master. The young master has come from afar. My lord has prepared wine and food. He sincerely invites the young master to come over and have a chat." Li Jie handed over the last invitation and said:
"My lord said that we had not seen each other for a hundred days since we parted ways in Longshan. He had wanted to invite the young master to go south to reminisce many times, but he couldn't do it because of official duties. Now that the young master is going south, he must take care of him no matter what. Wei. Teng motioned for Xu Chu to take the invitation, and at the same time, she cupped her hands towards Li Cui and said:
"Your Majesty is busy with official duties, so it's not convenient for me to chat. This time I'm going south mainly to deal with some family matters. If I have some free time, I will come to see you, sir. Let's forget about it today."
"This..." Li Jiu frowned. Wang Ze and the other three people next to them looked happy. Wang Gai waited for the opportunity and said:
"Yes, Cousin Zhongdao is going south this time to reminisce about the past with relatives and friends. Is Li Zhonglang trying to interfere with this? Li Jie frowned slightly. Wang Ze hasn't spoken yet. When will it be your junior's turn to chirp? He looked at Wang Ze who was aside. , but saw Wang Ze smiling and saying nothing, as if he was watching a show. Wei Cheng's goal had been achieved, and he was not afraid of offending Dong Zhuo, and said bluntly:
"It's getting late. Cousin Bodang, let's go into the city now. We have to meet my uncle and aunt first. I'm afraid it would be disrespectful to be late."
"Ah, yes, yes," Wang Gai glanced at Li Cui proudly. Naturally, Wei Cheng would not embarrass Li Ji too much. He explained tactfully that he was really just visiting relatives when he went south this time. As for Dong Zhuo, he would go and talk to him if he had the chance. He had a sincere attitude and a soft tone, so Li Ji couldn't force him. , can only give up.
However, Li Jiu still invited Wei Cheng again and again, telling Wei Cheng to go to the Grand Master's Mansion when he had time. Wang Ze watched clearly from the sidelines. Although he didn't know why Dong Zhuo valued Wei Cheng so much, he knew that he must not get what Dong Zhuo wanted, especially since Wei Zhongdao had the support of more than a dozen aristocratic families.
The significance of that joint post is undoubtedly crucial to the current Wang family.
"We must stabilize this kid." Wang Ze made up his mind secretly. Little did I know. All this just played into Wei Cheng's hands. Wei Cheng wanted to make Wang pay enough attention to him so that he could find out the whereabouts of Zhong Xian's daughter. But to get Wang to win over him, a joint post was obviously not enough. , plus Dong Zhuo's respect is just right.
With such an operation, Wei Cheng will definitely become Wang's guest, which is undoubtedly a good layout for the next plan.
