Chapter 451: Wenlin Society
In ancient times, although people respected the south and humbled the north, their residences were often sitting in the north and facing south, even the palace was the same, so in Luoyang City, it was bounded by the east and west main streets, and the people living in the north of the city were all dignitaries, and after Zhang Yi came out of the place where he bought officials, Qin Ying mysteriously took him to the Vermilion Bird Street in the north city, and then whispered to Zhang Yi that Lord Cai's mansion was on this Vermilion Bird Street, Zhang Yi listened to Qin Ying's words, and his eyes instantly widened.

Last night, Zhang Yi saw Qin Ying connecting with a middle-aged man, and at that time Zhang Yi guessed that Qin Ying should be arranging someone to protect him, but he didn't expect that Qin Ying actually sent someone to inquire about Cai Yong's mansion.
There is a small lake in the northeast of Luoyang City, although the lake is not big, but it is picturesque, the lake water is clear and sparkling, a circle of willows will surround the lake, the breeze blows, the willows sway lightly with the wind, add a lot of interest to this beautiful scenery.
This is a famous scenery in Luoyang City, because its scenery is elegant and soft, so it is the most loved by scholars and celebrities.
Along with this beautiful scenery, there is also a man-made landscape, under the dappled light and shadow of the willows, a pair of talented and beautiful women complement each other with this beautiful scenery.
Among the pairs of talented and beautiful women, the most eye-catching are Wei Zhongdao, the son of the Hedong Wei family, and Cai Yan, who is known as the world's first talented woman.
On this day, Wei Zhongdao and Cai Yan walked under the willows by the lake as usual, but today's atmosphere seems to be a little discordant.
"Humph! That Zhang Yi is really a wolf ambition! Trying in vain to pass through the city in Luoyang! What is this not rebellion!? β
Wei Zhongdao said with some indignation.
Wei Zhongdao has known Cai Yan since he was a child, as Cai Yan grows up day by day, his appearance becomes more and more beautiful, Wei Zhongdao gradually has a love for Cai Yan, what makes Wei Zhongdao happy is that Cai Yan does not pretend to any young man, but often talks and laughs at him.
Wei Zhongdao never missed any opportunity to be courteous to Cai Yan, and with his own talents, Cai Yan and him became closer and closer.
However, all this seems to have changed with the appearance of Zhang Yi, and the sensitive Wei Zhongdao felt that Cai Yan always seemed to inadvertently compare himself with that Zhang Yi, which made Wei Zhongdao very unhappy Wei Zhongdao felt an unprecedented crisis, and Wei Zhongdao was still Wei Mo's grandson, Wei Mo and Zhang Yi did not deal with each other, which also caused most of the entire Wei family to be hostile to Zhang Yi, and Wei Zhongdao was the first to dislike Zhang Yi. This made Wei Zhongdao have a more serious sense of crisis, so he kept finding various reasons to slander Zhang Yi in front of Cai Yan.
After listening to Wei Zhongdao's words, Cai Yan on the side couldn't help frowning slightly, and said in a low voice: "Zhongdao, don't talk about everything, how did I hear that Zhang Yi led his troops back to the north, and His Majesty the Emperor intends to review the Dingping Army and summon the general!" β
Because Wei Zhongdao often speaks ill of Zhang Yi, he behaves like a jealous woman, without any manhood, so whenever Cai Yan sees Wei Zhongdao's words and deeds, she is very annoyed, she hopes that Wei Zhongdao can be more heroic, to put it more popularly, she hopes that Wei Zhongdao behaves like a real man, just like the legendary general Zhang Yi, oh no, it should be said that it is the general in front of the palace.
As soon as he heard Cai Yan say good things for Zhang Yi, Wei Zhongdao's heart suddenly rose with jealousy.
Wei Zhongdao stopped and said in a very unhappy tone: "Wen Ji, why do you want to speak for such a traitor? Zhang Yi's deeds have spread in Shilin, is there any fake? Such a traitorous and rude person, I really don't understand why you still invite Wen Ji to participate in the Wenlin Meeting! β
The Wenlin Club in Wei Zhongdao's mouth is a gathering of talented and famous ladies that Cai Yan will hold regularly every year, mainly to taste tea and chant poetry, talk about the government and the current situation, and take which son or lady of which family, and also book a lifetime or something, which is equivalent to the literary salon and blind date conference of later generations, and this party should have been held in two more days, but Cai Yan knew that Zhang Yi was outside the city, and he didn't stay for a long time, so Cai Yan deliberately advanced the time of the Wenlin meeting to today, fortunately, there was not a lot of time in advance, The people of Lu Yuan have already been subjected to Luoyang, so it does not affect the convening of the Wenlin Conference.
Knowing that Cai Yan sent someone to invite Zhang Yi, this made Wei Zhongdao even more jealous.
Cai Yan is the kind of woman who is soft on the outside and assertive on the inside, perhaps influenced by her father's rigorous study, what she can't see the most is the kind of words and deeds that are conjectured out of thin air without any basis.
"Zhongdao!"
Looking at Wei Zhongdao with a serious expression, Cai Yan whispered: "You and I are both protΓ©gΓ©s of saints, since we read the works of saints and sages, you should learn from sages and sages to be people, did sages and sages teach you to say something that damages the image of others without any basis?" Regarding Zhang Yi's matter, there are many rumors in Luoyang City now, which one is true, and how can you argue? β
"Wen Ji, you!"
Staring at Cai Yan, Wei Zhongdao's face turned blue and white for a while, but after seeing that Cai Yan's face had also changed, Wei Zhongdao hurriedly restrained his expression, and said with a forced smile: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things, we finally came out for a trip, we should enjoy the scenery here." β
Wei Zhongdao was not stupid, and he didn't continue to compete on Zhang Yi's matter, but Cai Yan was in no mood to go any further, she said to Wei Zhongdao with a cold face: "I'm tired and want to go back to rest, you can go shopping by yourself." β
As he spoke, he ignored Wei Zhongdao and turned to leave, and Jin'er, a personal maid who was following not far away, hurriedly greeted him.
Looking at Cai Yan's proud back, Wei Zhongdao's face was very ugly.
Whenever the two talked about Zhang Yi, they would have a big quarrel and break up unhappily, and after each time, Wei Zhongdao's hatred for Zhang Yi increased by one point, and today, Wei Zhongdao's hatred for Zhang Yi can already be described as hateful.
Sitting in the carriage home, Cai Yan's face was a little ugly, and Jin'er on the side asked cautiously, "Miss quarreled with Wei Gongzi again?" β
As soon as he heard Wei Zhongdao's name, Cai Yan couldn't help frowning: "Jin'er, why don't you say he is not as manly as him?" β
Although Cai Yan did not mention the name of the two 'he', the maid Jin'er had already understood.
Tilting her head and thinking for a while, Jin'er analyzed seriously: "Wei Gongzi has been dressed and eaten since he was a child, and he has subordinates to serve him in everything, and Wei Gongzi only likes poetry and songs, I think it is because of these reasons that Wei Gongzi's personality is relatively weak." β
Cai Yan nodded, and then sighed: "Alas! Although Zhongdao's articles are splendid, he is too lacking in manhood, and although I have not seen the great general in front of the palace, I can feel from the poems he wrote that he is a heroic man, but I don't know ......."
At the end of the words, Cai Yan's words stopped, but Jin'er knew what she was thinking.
Seeing Cai Yan showing a distressed look, Jin'er couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "Miss is the first talented woman in the world, and she can be described as a talented woman, so she must be able to match our young lady with both civil and military skills. β
In the legends, there are many versions of Zhang Yi's appearance and age, some say that Zhang Yi is in his thirties, thick eyebrows, and majestic, some say that Zhang Yi is around forty years old, eight feet tall, and some say that Zhang Yi's sons have already gone into battle with their fathers, but among the many versions, in his thirties, seven feet tall, and extraordinary appearance dominate, and this age is indeed a bit old for Cai Yan.
Hearing that Jin'er dared to ridicule herself, Cai Yan's pretty face suddenly turned red, she glared at Jin'er outside, and said softly: "Stinky girl, what are you talking about!" β
Jin'er stuck out her tongue and hurriedly made a docile appearance.
Although Cai Yan said so, the real thoughts in his heart were similar to what Jin'er said.
Although Cai Yan is good to Wei Zhongdao, she doesn't like it yet, and she is very curious about Zhang Yi, but for now, Wei Zhongdao and Zhang Yi are about the same weight in Cai Yan's heart, and Wei Zhongdao's weight is actually slightly heavier.
In fact, Cai Yan was disdainful of simple martial artists in his heart, but the poems written by Zhang Yimo in later generations made Cai Yan's mind change, after all, women, who doesn't want their husband to be a great hero with both civil and military skills.
After speaking, Cai Yan turned his head and looked out of the car window in a daze, Cai Yan stopped talking, and the car fell silent.
"What? Didn't get the invitation? β
As soon as he returned to the mansion, Cai Yan heard the housekeeper reply that the Dingping Army had put out a sign of "thank you", and no one's gift or invitation card would be accepted, and the housekeeper had not even seen him enter the gate of the barracks, so the invitation card was not handed to Zhang Yi.
The inheritance of thousands of years of inheritance in China's great country, although there are many etiquette rules have changed before and after, but only one thing has not changed, that is, the trend is inflammatory, the so-called poor on the street no one asks, the blessing is in the deep mountains There are distant relatives, Zhang Yi is now a hot big man, on the bright side, his subordinates have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, breaking the Xianbei Ping Yellow Turban, and the government and the opposition are full of praise, in this case, there will naturally be people who want to make friends with him, it is knowing this that Zhang Yi ordered to hang out a sign of thanks, whether it is someone or something to invite, Zhang Yi didn't accept anything, which would save him a lot of trouble, not to mention that Zhang Yi himself was no longer in the camp at all.
"You go down first!"
After sending away the housekeeper, Cai Yan held her cheeks in her hand, showing a relieved and regretful expression, relieved that Cai Yan saw that Zhang Yi was a clean and self-righteous person from the point of closing the door, but Cai Yan was more regretful now, because the afternoon was the time when the Wenlin Club began, if she really couldn't invite Zhang Yi, she was afraid that she would not have the opportunity to meet Zhang Yi.
When Cai Yan was secretly sad, she didn't know that Zhang Yi was struggling with how to enter Cai's mansion at this time.
"Oops~"
Scratching his head quite annoyed, Zhang Yi, who was sitting in the teahouse, looked up at Cai's mansion not far away, and said secretly: "If I go up and say that I am Zhang Yi, it is estimated that people will not believe it, the key is that I sneaked into Luoyang City, and I can't easily expose my identity, it's really fatal." β
Zhang Yi really wanted to go in now, looking for a reason to see that peerless beauty, but he didn't have a suitable identity to enter the mansion, and when he was distressed, the shadows of Da Qiao, Xiao Wu and Ning Er suddenly broke into his mind.
"Smack"
patted his forehead, thinking of the three daughters, Zhang Yi secretly scolded himself for being an animal, having three daughters, and thinking about other women, so he sighed and got up to leave, but as soon as he got together, Qin Ying rushed back from outside, and as soon as he came back, Qin Ying told him the news that Cai Yan was going to gather the world's talents in the afternoon and hold a Wenlin meeting.
"Wenlin Society?"
As soon as he heard that he had the opportunity to enter Cai's mansion, Zhang Yi, who was going to get up and leave, sat back in his position, and at the same time secretly said to himself in his heart: I want to see the world's talents, choose a few for my use, not for Cai Yan, well, absolutely not.
At the same time that Zhang Yi deceived himself, there was chaos in the camp of the Dingping Army, because after camping yesterday, Zhang Yi said that he was tired and wanted to rest for a while, and sent Dian Wei and others out of the big tent, and then Zhang Yi left a letter, saying that he would go to Luoyang City to shop, and then he took Qin Ying away, and when Dian Wei found out, it was already dinner at night, and Zhang Yi had already taken Qin Ying to Luoyang City at that time.
Finding that Zhang Yi was missing, Dian Wei immediately reported to Sima Wei, who knew that the matter was very important, and quickly notified Da Qiao.
Don't look at Da Qiao is a female streamer, but as the chief medical officer in the Dingping Army, she is no longer the delicate lady in Luzhou City, after learning that Zhang Yi is missing, Da Qiao immediately ordered Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others to lead their cronies to look around, and at the same time listened to Sima Wei's advice to hide Zhang Yi's disappearance.
At first, Da Qiao and the generals thought that Zhang Yi had just left, but in fact, Zhang Yi had already entered Luoyang City at that time.
Glaring at Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei angrily, Da Qiao scolded: "General Dian, General Zhao, General Zhang, how are you three bad?" One is responsible for guarding the big tent of the Chinese army, one is leading the troops to guard the camp, and the other is responsible for leading the troops to patrol and guard, but they didn't find out that the lord went out, do you know that this is a dereliction of duty? If anything happens to the lord, we can't afford to take that responsibility, you know? β
Standing in the big tent, Da Qiao Liu's eyebrows were furrowed, like an angry little tiger, staring at the generals under the tent, while Dian Wei and other generals all stood below, all of them with their heads muffled and did not dare to make a sound, only Zhang Chongru stroked his beard thoughtfully, as if he had already seen through everything.
I have been looking for a long time and a night but I haven't found Zhang Yi, and Da Qiao has no tricks at this time, so he can only send the anger and grievances in his heart to the heads of the generals, and the generals also know that they have committed unforgivable felonies, and they all want to slap themselves twice.
"Report!"
Just when Da Qiao was in a big swing, a crisp report suddenly came from outside, and it sounded like a woman's voice.
"Come in!"
After summoning the soldiers who shouted the report, Da Qiao found that it was Xiao Wu's Feng Wu battalion, and Da Qiao hurriedly asked Xiao Wu where he was now, and whether he had heard Zhang Yi's whereabouts.
It turned out that after learning that Zhang Yi went to Luoyang, Da Qiao intended to send someone to Luoyang City to look for it, but Sima Wei took into account that these soldiers in the Dingping Army were all full of evil spirits, and a large group of people suddenly appeared in Luoyang City, and it was easy for people with a heart to see the problem.
"Found traces of the lord in Hongdu Gate? But didn't keep up? β
After listening to the female soldier's reply, Da Qiao was quite surprised, she didn't understand why Zhang Yi went to Hongdumen, and why she got rid of the female soldier's tracking.
In fact, it was not Zhang Yi who deliberately wanted to get rid of the tracking, speaking of which, Zhang Yi did not find the tracking, but Qin Ying found out that it was wrong, and then used the flow of people to cover Zhang Yi to get rid of the tracking.
"Yes," nodded, and the female soldier said: "The lord seems to have discovered that we are following, and he dumped us at all corners, but then it was the bee sting who passed the word to the brothers, saying that the lord appeared on Suzaku Street, but there are not many people in our Fengwu Camp who have entered the city, and it is not convenient to connect with the huge Luoyang City, so Xiao Wu Sister and most of the people have not been contacted, but now the brother of the bee sting has been secretly protected, and there should be no danger at present, and the people of the bee sting have sent people to answer at the city gates in all directions. β
At that time, when the Fengwu camp entered the city, it was just dawn, and when the city gate was just opened, five hundred people entered from the four gates at once, and they all agreed on when and where to gather, and Da Qiao also repeatedly told Xiao Wu, whether Zhang Yi was found or not, he must go out of the city before closing the city gate, and he couldn't find Zhang Yi, and trapped the five hundred Fengwu camp in the city, Xiao Wu also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he also ordered the sisters of the Fengwu camp, but the current situation is that Luoyang City is too big, and the Fengwu camp can't communicate with each other at all, Therefore, most people still don't know the current situation, and they are still struggling to find Zhang Yi's traces.
Da Qiao didn't take into account these problems at the moment, after all, she was only Da Qiao, and now she only cares about her own man.
Shaking his head decisively, Da Qiao said: "If there is no danger, it will not work, General Dian, you will go with the golden sword guard quickly......"
"It's not appropriate for General Dian to take the Golden Sword Guard," suddenly interrupting Da Qiao's words, Sima Wei waved his hand and said, "He and the Golden Sword Guard are too dazzling. β
Sima Wei's words made Dian Wei's face that was about to smile instantly freeze.
As he spoke, Sima Wei's eyes stirred back and forth among the generals.
Thinking that Sima Wei turned his gaze to himself, Zhang Fei immediately grinned and patted his chest and said, "I'm going to protect my eldest brother." β
"It's not appropriate for General Zhang to go," after shaking his head again, Sima Wei locked his eyes on Zhao Yun, Qin Qiu and Han Tao: "General Zhao, General Qin, and Deputy Commander Han, let's go hard, don't bring too many people, each person brings about thirty people, pick a clever point, wear leather armor inside, wear ordinary people's clothes outside, carry close-fitting short blades, enter the city in batches, don't arouse the suspicion of others, and be sure to bring the lord back as soon as possible after seeing him." β
Sima Wei considered it more comprehensively, and the selection of people was very proper, Zhao Yun was a newcomer next to Zhang Yi, no one would notice it before, and Zhao Yun didn't seem to be a person who was too sharp, he was much more amiable than Dian Wei's eye-catching big guy, and at the same time, Zhao Yun was stable and would not be frizzy, which was better than Zhang Fei, and the most important point was that Zhao Yun's strength was there, he alone could reach a thousand troops, and he went to protect Zhang Yi Sima Wei and everyone were also relieved.
"No!"
After holding their fists and agreeing, Zhao Yun and the three of them immediately turned around and walked out of the big tent.
After Zhao Yun and the three of them left, Sima Wei stroked his beard and thought about it again, turned around and picked up a token from Zhang Yi's desk, handed it to a golden sword guard, and then ordered: "You take the order of the lord, ride a fast horse and gallop to the lord's mansion, notify Lord Zhuge and let him enter the palace as soon as possible, and do everything possible to let the emperor recruit He Jin into the palace, as long as He Jin can't get the news, the lord is safe." β
The golden sword guard picked out by Sima Wei is the one who escorted Zhuge Jue yesterday, and he knows the road.
"No!"
Chong Sima Wei hugged his fist, and the Golden Sword Guard warrior immediately turned around and ran out of the camp.
In the camp of the Dingping Army, everyone was anxious, looking forward to Zhang Yi's return quickly, but at this time, Zhang Yi was having a headache for the invitation.
After noon in the afternoon, at about half past twelve, Zhang Yi took Qin Ying to Cai's mansion, saying that he was going to participate in the Wenlin Meeting, but Cai's doorman asked him for an invitation, Zhang Yi had to lie that he forgot to bring it, but Cai's doorman insisted that he couldn't go in without an invitation, and touched Zhang Yi, who had a gray nose, so he had to take Qin Ying back to the teahouse in a gray manner.
After arriving at the teahouse, Qin Ying said to go out and find a way to get an invitation, and then left, leaving only Zhang Yi, who was here alone to drink 'stuffy tea', and now Zhang Yi has drunk three cups of tea, but Qin Ying has not come back.
Just when Zhang Yi was about to get impatient with the waiting, Qin Ying came back and gave Zhang Yi a bamboo slip with a smile, which was the invitation card of Cai's mansion.
Holding the invitation Jane in his hand, Zhang Yi said with a smile: "The invitation card, the sound is the same as the invitation Jane, I don't know if it means the same thing, haha, whether it is a meaning or not, anyway, I can go in, go, go and see this Wenlin Club!" β
As he spoke, Zhang Yi opened his legs and walked downstairs.
