Agents of the Three Kingdoms

It was almost evening when Wang Lei and Lu Bu returned to the post house.The sky was getting dark and time was urgent, Wang Lei quickly changed into a suit of clothes, ready to call Lu Bu together.

"Boom! Boom!!"

The door knocked, and Lu Bu's voice came from outside the room: "My dear brother, it's me."

After Lu Bu entered the room, he said, "My dear brother, I won't go to the Cai family's dinner party. You can go alone." Lu Bu has never been interested in this kind of dinner party, especially when everyone praises each other politely. sleep at home.

Wang Lei didn't force it, and said: "If you don't want to go, brother, then stay in the post to rest."

"Okay!"

A look of joy appeared on Lu Bu's face, and he left Wang Lei's room happily.

Wang Lei and his entourage headed towards Cai's mansion in a carriage.

Cai's Mansion is not far from the State Shepherd's Mansion. The mansion is spacious and grand, exuding a simple and heavy atmosphere.

The carriage stopped at the door, and the attendants knocked on the door.Not long after, the door opened.In the lead was an old man with silver hair, a fluttering beard, and a hale and hearty man, walking out steadily with a cane.

Behind the old man, Cai Mao and others followed.

This hale and hearty old man is Cai Xie, Cai Mao's father.

According to historical records, in the late Han Dynasty, the Cai family was the most prosperous family in the world.Cai Xi's elder sister married Taiwei Zhang Wen, Cai Xi's eldest daughter married Jingzhou celebrity Huang Chengyan, and Cai Xi's youngest daughter married Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao.And Cai Xi's nephew, Cai Zan, served as the Prime Minister of Yan; his nephew Cai Yan, served as the prefect of Bajun.

Cai Xi went out to greet Wang Lei in person, giving Wang Lei enough face.

Wang Lei had already figured out the basic situation of Cai's family. When he saw the old man greeted him with Cai Mao and others, he knew that it was Cai Xie who greeted him in person.Facing such an old man, Wang Lei didn't dare to be negligent, walked quickly a few steps, went up to meet him, and said with a smile: "The old man greets him personally, Wang Lei is so flattered!" Standing in front of Cai Xi, Wang Lei bowed respectfully.

Cai satirized hastily said: "My lord Wang is doing this great gift to kill the old man, please hurry up."

"Old lady, please!"

Wang Lei waved his hand and hastily made some polite remarks.

After a brief conversation, a group of people went to the hall.

When they came to the hall, the guests and hosts were seated. Cai satirized and said with a smile: "The purpose of inviting Mr. Wang to the banquet this time is to thank Mr. Wang for his assistance. Come!" With an order, an attendant walked in from the hall holding a box.

This box is five feet long and one foot wide, and the whole body is made of high-quality wood, which is extremely expensive.

When Wang Lei saw the box, he knew that the items inside were of great value.

Wang Lei was puzzled by Cai's satirical words. With a calm face, he said suspiciously: "What is the old man doing? Wang Lei has no merit, and he has no contact with the Cai family before. Wang Lei really dare not accept this thank you."

Cai Mao shook his head and said, "My lord Wang, my father is justified in doing this. When you were in Chang'an, you saved Zhang Wen's life with your righteous words. This is the reason for the Cai family to thank you."

Wang Lei looked puzzled, he didn't know the relationship between Zhang Wenwen and the Cai family.

With a smile on his face, Cai Hao explained: "Zhang Wen married my father's sister, and she is my uncle. Dong Zhuo wanted to kill my uncle, but it was Mr. Wang who spoke out righteously and saved my uncle's life. Of course, the Cai family should thank you."

Wang Lei suddenly realized, and finally understood.

Unexpectedly, there is such a relationship.

Cai Xi's eyes were clear, and he ordered: "Open the box!" The attendant opened the box, and inside the box was a thick and simple long sword.This long sword is elegant in appearance, but it also reveals a sense of sharpness.

Wang Lei is also a person with considerable vision, knowing that this sword must be extraordinary.

Immediately, Wang Lei quickly declined and said: "Old Grandpa, this sword is a good sword at first glance. Such a good sword is rare in the world, and Wang Lei dare not accept it. Please take it back."

Cai satirized shook his head and said: "Master Wang is young and promising, he is not afraid of Dong Zhuo's power, he saved Zhang Wen's life with his righteous words, and his generosity is admirable. As the saying goes, a sword is given to a hero, and this sword is left in the house. It is just a treasure. , as a gift to Lord Wang, but it can make the sword fight on the battlefield. The sword cannot be dusty, and it is also an honor for it to follow the Lord to fight the enemy."

Cai Mao echoed, "My lord, I agree with what my father said. The Cai family has no generals, they are all civilian officials. With this sword, it is really dusty. You can accept it."

Wang Lei did not believe what Cai Mao said.

Although the literati of this era are powerless, they are by no means the bookworms of later generations.

Many people are skilled in horse bow and horse.

A high-quality sword is not only loved by generals, but also by literati.

Wang Lei declined again, Cai satirized and said with a stern face: "Master Wang repeatedly declined, could it be that he felt dissatisfied with the sword presented by the old man. If so, it should be treated as if the old man had not said it." After saying this, how dare Wang Lei refuse again? , if he refuses again, he really doesn't know what to do, so he hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, old lady, Wang Lei just accept it."

Cai Xi smiled and said, "Quick, try the sword."

Wang Lei took out the sword in the box and held the sword in his hand. The tentacles were very comfortable, and the hilt was exquisitely forged.

"Clang!"

A voice like a dragon's chant came in, crisp, sweet, warm and elegant.The long sword was unsheathed, and a sharp air rushed towards his face.The sword body is translucent and shining; the blade is sharp, cutting iron like mud.

"Seven Star Ryongyon!"

When Wang Lei saw the four characters on the sword, his pupils shrank, and he couldn't help being surprised.

This sword was actually the Seven Star Longyuan Sword.

According to legend, the Longyuan Sword was forged jointly by Ou Yezi and Ganjiang. To cast the Longyuan Sword, Ou Yezi and Ganjiang dug open Mount Ci and led the stream from the mountain to the seven pools surrounded by the Big Dipper beside the sword casting furnace, which was called "Seven Stars". ".After the sword is completed, looking down at the sword body is like climbing a high mountain and looking down into the abyss. It is misty and deep, like a giant dragon lying on a coil.

This sword, like the Zhanlu sword in Wang Lei's hand, is a famous sword.According to the saying, the Zhanlu sword is the sword of benevolence, and the Longyuan sword in front of him is the sword of honesty and purity. Both swords are priceless treasures.

Such a treasure, whether it is a civil official or a military general, wants to keep it for himself.

Cai Xiong's gift of the Longyuan Sword is not insignificant.

Wang Lei put the sword back into its sheath, and said: "Old Grandpa, Longyuan Sword is the most precious sword in the world, this sword..."

Cai Xie interrupted: "Swords are dead, but people are alive. This sword has no owner, and it is a pearl covered in dust. I will give it to Wang Zhoumu today. Please don't refuse, Mr. Wang. Otherwise, you will look down on me."

Wang Lei put the Long Yuan Sword into the box and said, "Since that's the case, Wang Lei is not respectful."

Cai Xi nodded, and a bright smile appeared on his face again.

Cai Mao said: "Master Wang, the situation in Chang'an is tense. Many ministers are trembling and dare not speak freely. For Mr. Wang, Chang'an is not conducive to development. Why is Mr. Wang still staying in Chang'an instead of returning to Jizhou?"

Wang Lei said: "The emperor ordered, I must obey."

Cai Mao knew that Wang Lei was not telling the truth, so he changed the subject.

Next, Cai Xi asked about Zhang Wen, and Wang Lei answered them one by one.During the conversation between the two parties, the Cai family was friendly with each other intentionally, and Wang Lei was intentionally friendly, so the conversation was very lively.After some conversation, Cai Xie slightly nodded at Cai Mao, Cai Mao took a deep breath and said, "Master Wang, I am ashamed to say it, but I have a merciless request."

Wang Lei raised his eyebrows, thinking: "This is the intention of the Cai family, and the show is about to begin."

Just to thank Zhang Wen for saving his life, it is impossible for the Cai family to present the Dragon Yuan Sword to Wang Lei, there must be something to ask for.Wang Lei smiled and said: "Mr. Cai, just say it straight, if Wang Lei can do it, he will definitely not refuse."
