Wang Lei and Lu Bu rushed to the horse, less than ten zhang away from the city gate, Wang Lei reined in the reins of the horse and stopped. He turned over and dismounted, and strode towards Liu Biao and the others at the gate of the city to show respect.

In Jingzhou, Liu Biao is the head snake, and Wang Lei has no need to be aggressive.

Moreover, Liu Biao's identity is not simple.

In terms of origin, Liu Biao is a descendant of Liu Yu, King Lugong of the Western Han Dynasty, and a veritable Han family relative. Compared with Liu Bei's Han clan relatives who are afraid that people will not know his identity, Liu Biao is certified by the imperial court, and it is a real hard brand, whether it is the royal family or the world's celebrities, they all agree with Liu Biao's identity.

In terms of fame, Liu Biao participated in the Tai Student Movement in his early years, and experienced the disaster of the party, and has a very high prestige. He and Zhang Yin, Xue Yu, Wang Wan, Xuanjing, Gong Chu Gong, Liu Yi, and Tian Lin of the same county are respected by the people of the world as "Eight Gu", and they are a generation of celebrities. Wang Lei is famous all over the world for his calligraphy and poetry, and he has a certain reputation, which is still far behind Liu Biao.

Whether it is background or fame, Liu Biao far surpasses Wang Lei.

Such a person, Wang Lei can't be lazy.

In this day and age, fame is often an invisible but very important intangible capital. Liu Biao is a famous person in the world, Wang Lei and Liu Biao have a relationship, and winning Liu Biao's praise can also enhance Wang Lei's reputation.

Liu Biao didn't wait in place, and walked forward.

The two sides walked in the opposite direction and soon met.

Wang Lei bowed and said, "Wang Lei of Ye County, I have seen Liu Jingzhou." ”

Liu Biao smiled and said: "Gaoping Liu Biao, I have seen Wang Jizhou. Although Liu Biao is old, Wang Lei's official position is not low, and Liu Biao is a state pastor, so Liu Biao is called an equal and does not regard himself as an elder.

Wang Lei didn't plan to talk to Liu Biao one by one, and after seeing the ceremony, he immediately made friends and said with a smile: "Jingsheng Gong personally led people out of the city to greet him, which is really torturous for the younger generation." ”

Liu Biao heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, and immediately understood.

The old guy was no longer formal, and said casually: "Virtuous nephew is polite, you have traveled through mountains and rivers, come from afar, and work hard all the way." The old man just led people to greet him at the city gate, which is nothing, not enough to worry about. ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

An old fox, a little fox, like an old friend for many years talking.

Liu Biao changed his words and said: "I have prepared a banquet in the house to wash the dust for the virtuous nephew, please!" ”

"Please!"

Wang Lei waved his hand, but stood still and let Liu Biao go first.

This move made Liu Biao feel good in his heart, Liu Biao walked in front, and Wang Lei followed behind. And Lu Bu and other main generals in the army also went to the city, and more than 300 cavalry were stationed outside the city, and Liu Biao's people took care of them. Arriving at the State Pastoral Mansion, Liu Biao first ordered people to bathe Wang Lei, Lu Bu and others, and rest for a while, before setting up a banquet in the hall to catch Wang Lei and wash the dust.

The music is melodious, and there are singers dancing in the hall, a scene of singing and dancing!

After the song and dance, Liu Biao asked the singer to step down.

At the beginning of the banquet, the wine passed three rounds, the dishes passed five flavors, and the atmosphere was warm.

Liu Biao had a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, all the princes here have admired you for a long time. The poems you make can be sung and sung not only by the people here, but also by the children in the streets and alleys of Xiangyang City. And the words you wrote also made all the princes present admire, and they wanted to see you waving with their own eyes. The age of the crown of the virtuous nephew, but he is in a high position and famous all over the world, which is really rare throughout the ages. ”

Wang Lei said humbly: "Jingsheng Gong has a good reputation, and the younger generation deserves it. ”

"Wang Zhoumu is young, but he is not arrogant or impatient, this bearing is really extraordinary."

A middle-aged man exclaimed.

This person is wearing a crown and a long beard, sitting in the hall, but he looks like a fairy among the gods, and there is a chic dust everywhere.

Liu Biao waved his hand at the middle-aged man, and said sourly: "This is Mr. Shuijing, Sima Hui, I have been in Xiangyang for more than a year, and I have invited Sima Hui to be an official several times. It's a pity that he refused every time, and he didn't even come to Xiangyang City. This time, looking at the face of the virtuous nephew, he finally came to Xiangyang City, and the old man was able to see him through the face of the virtuous nephew. ”

Sima Hui smiled and said: "When Jingsheng Gong said something, Sima Hui was really uneasy in his heart. Xiangyang City's literary style is gathered, and the people are outstanding, but after all, it is contaminated with the breath of officialdom, I don't like officialdom, and it is normal to come to Xiangyang less. ”

The free and natural bearing made Liu Biao helpless for a while.

Wang Lei was excited in his heart, and said with a smile: "Mr. Sima is falsely praised, and Lei is ashamed." If Mr. Sima compliments me again, I'm afraid I will be so fluttering that I will even forget my name. ”

"Hahaha......"

Sima Hui laughed loudly, and he was amused.

"Wang Zhoumu came to Xiangyang, if I don't leave a few ink treasures today, I don't agree. If you want to leave Xiangyang, you have to give me a pair of ink treasures, otherwise you will never let Wang Zhoumu leave. ”

The voice is loud and full of energy.

The tone is tough, but it's hard to get angry.

Wang Lei followed the voice and looked, the person who spoke was in his thirties, with a lofty instrument, elegant temperament, and excellent demeanor.

Liu Biao introduced: "This person is Pang Degong, and Sima Hui has a virtue. ”

Pang Degong smiled and said: "Those who know me, Jingsheng Gongye!" ”

Wang Lei was surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be another cow man, and arched his hand: "I've seen Mr. Pang!" Wang Lei didn't expect that on this trip to Xiangyang, he would meet Sima Hui and Pang Degong.

Pang Degong smiled and said: "Wang Zhoumu, I don't ask for much, three or five words are enough." After the feast, I will take a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to meet you. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in the hall shouted shamelessly.

Wang Lei nodded and said, "Mr. Pang has a request, how dare Wang Lei refuse." ”

Pang Degong stroked his beard under his chin, and praised without hesitation: "I agree with Sima Hui's statement, Wang Zhoumu is young, but he is calm and sensible, and he will become a great weapon in the future." ”

"Degong has benefited, he is proud in his heart, and he looks like a villain."

A sour voice rang out in the hall.

The person who spoke had a white face and a short beard, bright eyes, and a smart look in his eyes. He looked at Pang Degong's eyes, there was banter, but there was no jealousy and hatred, it was clearly a joke.

Liu Biao also introduced: "Virtuous nephew, this is Huang Chengyan, a famous man in Jingxiang, who is outstanding in learning. ”

In his words, he did not have the respect for Sima Hui and Pang Degong before.

Wang Lei arched his hand and said: "I've seen Mr. Huang!" Being able to see Zhuge Liang's father-in-law in Xiangyang, Wang Lei was also quite surprised. Wang Lei thought in his heart: "This trip to Xiangyang, you must not return empty-handed." ”

Huang Chengyan returned the salute and did not ask for Mobao like Pang Degong.

Next, Liu Biao introduced Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others, and introduced the talents of Jingzhou again.

Wang Lei returned the salute with a smile and regarded the people present as seniors.

Almost all of the people present were over thirty years old, and even fifty or sixty years old. Wang Lei is only 20 years old, in such a situation, Wang Lei can not be the slightest arrogant and rude, and must leave an impression of not being arrogant or impatient to the people present.

In the end, the feast was over.

Liu Biao was drunk, and after returning to the study to sober up, the housekeeper knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Liu Biao said.

Immediately after, the door creaked open. The housekeeper walked in quickly, bowed and saluted, and reported: "My lord, Liu Bei, the Taishou of Runan County, sent an envoy Jian Yong to Xiangyang, and Jian Yong handed over the name thorn and wanted to meet your lordship." ”

Liu Biao frowned slightly, he knew about Wang Lei and Liu Bei.

Seeing Jian Yong now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate.

However, it was precisely when Wang Lei came to Xiangyang that Liu Bei sent someone to ask for a meeting, but there must be something important. Liu Biao was unable to make a decision for a while, and after thinking about it, he instructed: "Go through the back door and don't be discovered by Wang Lei's people." ”

"Understood!"

The housekeeper respectfully stepped back and arranged for someone to pick up Jian Yong to come to the house.
