Chapter 93: Luck
When Wei Shuo came to the hall, the hall was full of guests, these local celebrities from Qingzhou. It's a pity that he didn't know anyone, so he had to walk to the empty seat and sit down quietly.
Because Cao Wei had not yet appeared, the children of the family who came early had to gather three or five to talk together, and from time to time there was a burst of laughter, which attracted the attention of outsiders.
Wei Shuo has experienced the demeanor of the children of the family in Xuzhou, and he has long been surprised, but he is just silently tasting wine and thinking about his own thoughts. Most people knew that Wei Shuo was a distinguished guest invited by the assassin history, so no one took the initiative to come to talk to him, which made him seem out of place with everyone.
As time went on, there were more and more guests in the hall. Wei Shuo raised his eyes and found that there were at least a hundred or ten people gathered in the hall. Among them, people who knew each other gathered together and chatted, and only a few people stayed alone like Wei Shuo. However, if someone observes carefully, they will find that almost everyone in the hall is watching Wei Shuo's every move, intentionally or unintentionally.
Wei Shuo didn't like to be watched as a monkey, and just as he was thinking about whether to go outside, he suddenly heard a shout from outside: "Lord Thorn Shi is here!" ”
After finishing speaking, I saw a middle-aged man in his mid-teens and forty, dressed in fancy clothes and accompanied by a few henchmen, walking proudly into the hall. Wei Shuo looked at it from a distance and felt that this person was taller than ordinary people, and he walked with a tigerish style, and he had a fierce spirit.
Presumably this person is Qingzhou Thorn Shi Cao Wei!
In the blink of an eye, Cao Wei had come to his eyes.
Wei Shuo hurriedly bent down and bowed, but before he could bow down, Cao Wei had already rushed forward to help him up. I saw Cao Tingshi's eyes flashing, his eyes fell on Wei Shuo, and he laughed a few times and said: "Hahaha, people often say that meeting is not as famous as meeting, but I want to say how famous is like meeting, I think I Cao Wei is all over Qingzhou, and it is the first time to see such a talent as Lord Wei, no wonder someone always mentions Lord Wei in front of someone, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today!" ”
Wei Shuo was obviously at a loss by Cao Wei's enthusiasm, and he didn't expect Cao Wei to pick him up as soon as he came up, which made him feel a little flattered. In fact, to put it bluntly, Wei Shuo is just a small Yantian envoy, and for the entire Qingzhou officialdom, he is just a petty official who does not enter the stream.
In the eyes of the family, Wei Shuo is just a poor disciple with a little use value. But now Cao Wei treats him so enthusiastically, he can't help but make him secretly vigilant.
"Lord Thorn Shi praised it falsely! Wei is ashamed! ”
"Hahaha!" Cao Wei laughed loudly when he heard this, and then pulled Wei Shuo's arm to the center of the hall, pointed at Wei Shuo and introduced to everyone: "Everyone, everyone, Cao Mou will introduce you to a heroic man from Qingzhou. This is my Lord Wei Shuowei, the Yantian envoy of Changguang County, Qingzhou. ”
Although many people have heard of Wei Shuo's name, it is the first time they have seen a real person. Most people didn't expect that the famous Wei Shuo would be so young. Many people stared at Wei Shuo with complicated eyes, including resentment, pity, greed, and so on.
At this time, Wei Shuo took the initiative to greet everyone present, "You are polite!" In Xia Weishuo, he was added as the Laoshan Yantian envoy, and he received an invitation from the Assassin's Mansion a few days ago, so he came to visit the Lord of the Assassin's Mansion today. I think that since Yongjia, there is little peace in Qingzhou, and recently thanks to General Cao's army, Qingzhou has been given a clear and clear sky. ”
As soon as these words came out, whether it was high-ranking officials and dignitaries or celebrities from various families, they echoed Wei Shuo and praised Cao Wei's achievements in stabilizing Qingzhou. Although some people at the scene were very disdainful of Wei Shuo's stammering and flattery to Cao Wei, no one dared to point it out in person.
Cao Wei seemed to be very satisfied with Wei Shuo's performance, not only was he humble, but he also deliberately arranged Wei Shuo in a seat closer to him, and coincidentally, the first place under Wei Shuo was that Mr. Liu.
At this time, Mr. Liu was looking at Wei Shuo with interest, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, in recent times, the name of Wei Shuo can be said to be resounding in the land of Qilu, and its popularity is second only to Cao Wei.
In Mr. Liu's opinion, Wei Shuo is dignified, his eyes are bright, and he has an outstanding temperament, which is impressive. On the surface, he seems to be very humble, but the arrogance in his bones does not seem to take anyone seriously.
"In Xia Liu, I have seen Master Wei!"
As soon as Wei Shuo sat down, his butt was still hot, when he heard someone next to him greet him, turned around and looked, only to see a strange young gentleman about twenty-five or six years old, who was arching his hand towards him. I saw that this person was tall and thin, with fair skin like a woman, with a rare literary and beautiful look, slender fingers, and the temperament of a child of a family was faintly revealed on his body.
"Fortunately, I will be lucky!" Wei Shuo saw that he was a child of a family, so he didn't say much, but only bowed his hand and saluted.
At this moment, a stiff voice over there suddenly said, "You are Laoshan Weishuo?" ”
Wei Shuo's brows furrowed, he didn't understand why this person was so vicious to him, and was about to ask one or two. Unexpectedly, the banquet officially began, and everyone stopped talking and looked at Cao Wei on the main seat. The person sitting on Wei Shuo's hand was the middle-aged man who had just spoken out, this person was of medium stature and had a handsome face, and when he saw Wei Shuo being respectful to Cao Wei, the disdain on his face swept away.
The middle-aged man is Wang Tingjian, who came to the east and has a close relationship with Wang Dun. If there is anyone here who wants to get rid of Wei Shuo as soon as possible, it must be Wang Tingjian. Wang Dun had written to him several times before, asking him to find an opportunity to destroy Laoshan, but Wang Taishou never found an opportunity.
Wang Tingjian could easily bow his head to Cao Wei, just thinking that if Cao Wei attacked Laoshan Mountain, he would secretly enjoy the benefits of the fisherman. It's just that the development of things is far beyond his expectations, not only did Cao Wei not send a large army to encircle and suppress Laoshan, but also fought with Wei Shuo with great fanfare. As the servants were replaced with new drinks and delicacies, the feast began. First of all, of course, the speech of Cao Wei, the assassin of Qingzhou, is nothing more than some high-sounding words, but it only emphasizes the need to maintain the stability and prosperity of Qingzhou. In addition, he also specially praised Wei Shuo, saying that he did a good job in Laoshan. However, Cao Wei raised Wei Shuo like this, which obviously angered the resentful Wang Tingjian.
I saw Wang Taishou stand up and said with a bit of yin and yang weirdness: "Lord Wei is indeed a rare handsome man in my Qingzhou, presumably many people present have heard of Laoshan Qingyan, right?" That's right, I heard that this thing was made by Lord Wei. If there is no Lord Wei, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to have such a high-quality green salt to eat, come on, let me wait for Lord Wei to have a cup! ”
When the people present heard the word Qingyan, their faces were full of greed, and even Cao Wei and the others had a solemn look in their eyes. Wei Shuo's heart sank, and he said secretly: It's not good, it's going to be bad!
Sure enough, as soon as the previous words fell, I saw a sneer on the corner ......of Wang Tingjian's mouth, and then said: "Of course, in addition to being proficient in the Mo family's stunts, Lord Wei is also famous on the battlefield, and he once killed the Huns in Xuzhou."
As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent, and several Xiongnu and Han generals around Cao Wei glared angrily.
The cold sweat on Wei Shuo's body broke out all of a sudden, he didn't expect Wang Tingjian to be so powerful, but in front of Cao Wei's generals, he told him about his affairs in Xuzhou. This kind of thing must be a good thing to add luster to other places, but many officials in Qingzhou, including Cao Wei, were born as generals of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, and Wang Tingjian's move was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Cao Wei by the hand of Wei Shuo.
At this time, he couldn't wait to step forward and tear Wang Tingjian's mouth, knowing that the other party was sowing discord, but Wei Shuo couldn't argue anything. Fortunately, Cao Wei himself does not have deep feelings for the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, and he also has the heart of Xiang Jin at this time, otherwise he will really have a hard time today.
However, Rao is like this, and there are still a few people in the Assassin Mansion who are full of hostility towards him, including Gao Liang and Xu Miao. These two people had been mixed up with Wang Sang and Zhao Gu under Wang Mi, and the relationship between the two sides was okay, and they had no good impression of the people who destroyed their brother's prestige.
With Wang Tingjian's trouble, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became subtle, and many people only looked back and forth at Cao Wei, obviously guessing Cao Wei's thoughts, but unfortunately Cao Wei's thoughts were not so easy to guess.
