"Patriarch, Langjun asks to see you. The voice of the little servant came in from outside the door of the study, interrupting Wang Cheng's meditation.

The calm expression on his face did not change at all, first he exhaled slowly, and then slowly opened his eyes: "Take him to my study." ”

"No. The brown-clothed servant outside the door promised. Then he walked out of the courtyard and passed it to the servant in the outer courtyard who was waiting in an earth-colored robe, and the servant walked briskly through the winding corridor, and after two more news transmissions, he finally reached the door of the big house.

The gray-robed gatekeeper received the message and respectfully welcomed Wang Mei in. Wang Mei walked through the vestibule, the cloister, the garden and the path without squinting, and it took two cups of tea to reach the outside of Wang Cheng's study. However, the clogs under Wang Mei's feet still rose and fell lightly, without making even the slightest sound.

The servants dressed outside the study were extremely discerning, and when they saw Wang Mei walking all the way, there was not even a little blush on their faces, so they knew that this Langjun was not a wasted person.

You must know that even if you want to see the patriarch in the study at the back of this big house, you usually walk through the courtyard path that you enter at least a thin layer of sweat, and your face will even turn red if you are not in good shape. It's not that the road is long, but that the feeling of pressure will become heavier and heavier as you enter the yard one after another. And these servants report layer after layer, which will increase the burden on the hearts of the little langs, and they usually walk to the door, and they dare not make a loud noise when they are panting.

But the little man in front of him looked like he was used to it. Don't say it's a little nervous pressure, that look of course, where is there a way to be cramped?

"Xiao Lang, the patriarch is waiting for you in the study, please go in. The servant thought as he grabbed Wang Mei to the door of Wang Cheng's study and said softly.

"Tired. Wang Mei nodded politely, and then stepped into Wang Cheng's study. The light in Wang Cheng's study is a little dim, but at this moment of daylight in the afternoon, the room is very shady.

Wang Cheng sat behind the rosewood desk, still holding a bamboo book in his hand, Wang Mei opened the door and brought in the heat that made him raise his head, and when he saw that it was Wang Mei, his frowning brows gradually loosened, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Ah Mei has arrived, what is the important matter of coming to my uncle today?" When he asked, the smile on his face was very sincere, but the bamboo album in his hand was not put down. Obviously, if Wang Mei has nothing important, he will continue to pick up the book and continue reading.

"Patriarch, Wang Mei came today, but he was entrusted by the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Lu family to be a middle-aged person. Wang Mei looked at Wang Cheng in front of him calmly, and the words he said echoed in the study, making Wang Cheng in a trance for another moment, as if many years ago, he had not inherited the position of patriarch, but went south to Jiankang to see the scene of Langya Wang's person.

The purple-clothed young man in front of him, although his eyebrows were a little more beautiful than that person, his upright posture, his humble and not arrogant expression, and even the slight upward angle of his head reminded him of the person on that day - one of the "Eight Friends of Jingling".

"Would the patriarch like to listen to Wang Mei's intentions?" Wang Mei saw that Wang Cheng was silent for a long time, and the bamboo album in his hand was a little white, but he just stared at himself, and had to ask.

"Ah...... Of course. What do you want from the Lu family?" Wang Cheng woke up from his trance, and soon realized how important what Wang Mei was going to say, he put down the bamboo scroll in his hand, which was originally used to pretend, and asked with a serious face.

"The Zheng family and the Lu family are not optimistic about today's Gao Qi, and want to transfer some industries to the territory of Yuwen Wei, and want to ask the Jinyang Wang family if they are interested in forming an alliance to carry out this transfer together. Wang Mei revealed the meaning of the Zheng and Lu families very straightforwardly.

The transfer of property, which is thought to be something within such a great clan, no one knows better than the patriarchs of these great clans. So she only needs to talk about this, presumably Wang Cheng will naturally understand the distrust of Zheng Lu and the two emperors towards the Gaoqi royal family.

"Oh, industrial transfer, I don't know what industries they want to transfer?" Sure enough, Wang Cheng's face instantly showed a thoughtful look.

"It depends on whether the patriarch is involved. Wang Mei skillfully played a Tai Chi. Before Wang Cheng agreed to advance and retreat together, Wang Mei did not intend to hand over the hole cards of the Zheng and Lu families.

"Since this can't be said, then you can say something to say and let me hear it?" Wang Cheng was not annoyed by Wang Mei's refusal, but asked with interest.

"In the past two years, the Gaoqi royal family was founded at the beginning of the country, and the relationship with Yuwen Wei has been calmed down a lot, and there are victories in the north and south. It can be said that the development is extremely good. "Often, I don't first talk about today's political affairs. As the patriarch of the Jinyang Wang clan of the Northland clan, Wang Cheng is naturally no stranger to words, but he still does not show the slightest impatience on his face, and still looks like he is listening carefully.

"With Emperor Gaoyang's temperament, presumably after this victory, the war will not be reduced in the next five or six years. And Gao's treasury is not abundant. Even if we feed the war with war, where will the grain and grass in the early stage come from? Of course, soldiers can be recruited from the people, but what about middle and low-level generals?"

Wang Cheng's expression was still serious and serious, and his gaze at Wang Mei was the same as usual, only sitting slightly upright made Wang Mei understand that her words really hit the point that Wang Cheng was worried about. However, these points were not enough for him to make this joint decision. He is still waiting for Wang Mei to give more innovative reasons.

"The patriarch, the background of the Zheng family and the Lu family is not just as simple as the foundation of the Wang family. ”

In the end, Wang Mei thought about it and decided to shake out the hole card of Momen. After all, she had given benefits to the children of the Wang family at the end of the Qing Talks before, and if she could indirectly tie the Jinyang Wang family with the Xuanqi Sect, it seemed to be a good choice. She didn't mind letting the Jinyang Wang clan get a piece of the pie in the rise of the Xuanyang Gate.

"Oh, is that the black-and-white protection you exhibited today?" Sure enough, Wang Cheng directly thought of the Yin and Yang Talisman that Wang Mei had displayed before. When mentioning "black and white protection", the expression on his face finally changed, and Wang Mei even sensitively felt some of his excited emotions.

"Exactly. Wang Mei affirmed. Sure enough, at this moment, even Wang Cheng couldn't help but reveal an element of surprise: "If my Wang family cooperates with the Zheng Lu family, can I also have the same foundation as theirs?"

Wang Mei seemed to ponder for a moment before he said slowly: "Does the patriarch want to develop the power of the Wang clan to another level? I can't guarantee the backers behind the Lu clan and the Zheng clan, but I can give it a try to my master." ”

When he heard that Wang Mei couldn't guarantee Momen, the disappointed expression on Wang Cheng's face was too obvious, causing Wang Mei to say that he was willing to introduce his master, and his arm trembled, and he was so emotional that he almost stood up.

"However, although Ah Mei's master has a long heritage, at this time it is not as famous as the sect behind the Lu and Zheng families, if the patriarch insists on wanting the sect behind the Lu and Zheng families, I will go to help the patriarch ask. ”

Immediately after, Wang Mei added.
