Chapter 498: The Gathering of Guests

Although he was beaten by Tai Shici, Ge Zhen did not change his original intention in the end. He planned to join Shang Ji after participating in the world's number one martial arts competition. It is much better to go directly to the effect.

Tai Shici didn't force it, and continued to fight with him, and later even introduced Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others to him, and everyone competed with each other.

Shang Ji also received news that Tai Shici had a childhood friend whose strength had been recognized by several top generals, and planned to join him after the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference.

For this kind of thing, Shang Ji is naturally happy to see it succeed. A top military general who has won a prize in the martial arts conference will serve in public, and his influence and demonstration will far exceed that of a top general himself.

Shang Ji even hinted that he would arrange the best treatment for Ge Zhen, and he would enter Wushen Pavilion, Chiyou Cave without restrictions, and Lingmi would be supplied at three times the normal size.

While Tai Shici was helping Ge Zhen to plan for a good ranking, time quietly passed by. The day of Shangji's big wedding is getting closer and closer, and the city of Xiangping is also filled with a festive atmosphere.

Shangji's popularity in Pingzhou, especially in Liaodong, is very good. Since he took up his new post, he has attacked the Hu captives and helped the people inside, and the lives of the people in Liaodong have suddenly become much easier. And Liu's prestige in Xiangping is even higher than that of Shangji. She manages charitable organizations such as charity institutes and nurseries in the city, and she often provides free clinics in the city in her spare time. And because of her status as a woman, she is naturally closer to the people than a warrior like Shang Ji.

As their wedding day approached, many people spontaneously celebrated and blessed them. Of course, the officials are doing it with great fanfare, looking forward to taking the big wedding as an opportunity to show a brand new, vibrant and potential Pingzhou in front of the world. In order to change the bad impression of the bitter cold and barren land in Liaodong, and attract more talents!

"Brother Xuande, look at this Xiangping is really good, much better than I expected!"

A somewhat black and fat short man was riding on a horse with a man with surprisingly big ears. The two walked side by side, the black short and fat man said in a low voice.

There are more than a dozen personal followers behind each of the two, and there are also some generals who can be known to be extraordinary in strength just by their appearance.

"Brother Meng De's words are correct. Under the rule of General Shang, Xiangping is indeed far better than before. The people in this city are ruddy and energetic, far surpassing those in the mainland!"

These two people are none other than Liu Bei, governor of Mount Tai, and Cao Cao, governor of Chenliu!

Both of them work in Yanzhou, but there is no border, and it is not a time when the princes are annexing the world and the world is in chaos, so the relationship between Cao and Liu is not bad.

Both of them received invitations from Shang Ji, and Liu Bei's first official career was under Shang Ji's subordinates, strictly speaking, Shang Ji's old subordinates. The relationship has always been good before, so I have to come to congratulate in person because of emotion and reason.

In addition, the second general Guan and Zhang are also very interested in the world's number one martial arts conference, so the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang are all here this time!

And Cao Cao didn't know what to think, so he came to Liaodong to congratulate himself from thousands of miles away. He was accompanied by not only the two brothers Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun, but also the top general Xu Zhu who Cao Cao had just taken under his command!

Hearing that the two were discussing Pingzhou, the Pingzhou official who was in charge of responding looked proud, arched his hands and said: "The two lords don't know something. Since Lord Zi entered Liaodong, no Hulu has just crossed the border, and the people live in peace. At the same time, check Illegally rectified the administration of officials, redressed the grievances of the people. He loved the people like a son, reduced and exempted taxes many times, and also vigorously built facilities such as medical centers and private schools. Hundreds of millions of people in Pingzhou have benefited from them. Now the lord is married, and the people are rejoicing. The city celebrates to repay the lord Hong En!"

Liu Bei and Cao Cao looked at each other, then looked at the joyous Xiangping people on both sides, their faces were a little gloomy.

Liu Bei cheered up, and said to the welcoming officials: "Brother Meng De and I are exhausted from the boat, and want to rest earlier, please help guide the way!"

"Oh! It's my negligence, please forgive me, and please come here with me, Xiangping has already prepared a first-class guest room to entertain all distinguished guests!"

The petty official pleaded guilty again and again,

Take Cao Liu and dozens of guards to the guest house in the inner city.

Of course, it is impossible for Cao and Liu to run to Xiangping with only a few dozen guards. The two each brought two thousand guards. However, it is of course impossible for these guards to be placed in Xiangping City, and they are still temporarily stationed outside Xiangping City. Only a few personal guards and senior generals accompanied them into the city.

At the entrance of the guest house, a man dressed as a scribe stood there with a blank expression. Behind him was a man dressed as a general, but the slightly bowed waist of the man looked more like a servant.

The most amazing thing is that standing in front of the two is a little girl who is only about four years old.

At this time, the little girl was holding a rattle in her left hand and a bunch of candied haws in her right hand, and she was still chewing.

Opposite the little girl was a staff member of the guest house, who was looking at the scribe with a big smile on his face.

"This gentleman, if you dare to honor your name, you can have an invitation card."

This slightly strange combination attracted the attention of many passers-by, who all looked at the development of the matter.

Hearing what the little official said, the scribe's face turned dark again, and his eyes were slightly staggered to avoid meeting the little official's gaze.

But the general behind him took a step forward, bowed his hands to the little official and said: "Your official misunderstood, the guest is the lady in front, we are... escorts!"

The military commander also had a weird expression on his face, and even bared his teeth unconsciously.

The little official looked at the two of them in surprise, and finally shifted his gaze to the little girl eating candied haws.

After hesitating for a while, the little official still bowed deeply and said: "Dare to ask your lady, do you have an invitation card?"

"Ahhhhhh..." When the clerk asked, the little girl was still eating candied haws with great mouthfuls, and the look of monograph made the audience around her salivate.

"Rong Luo Luo!"

The scribe growled with black lines all over his face, and the little girl's hands trembled in fright, and the candied haws with two hawthorns left fell to the ground.

The little girl looked at the candied haws on the ground with infinite regret, turned around aggrieved, and looked at the scribe fixedly, mist gathered in her big watery eyes.

The scribe took a deep breath with a headache, looked at the growing crowd, his face twitched and said: "Wait a minute, I will buy you five bunches of candied haws later!"

The little official smiled secretly, and cupped his hands to the little girl whose legs were not as tall as his own, and said, "Don't worry, lady, there is unlimited supply of candied haws in the guest house!"

The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she fumbled in her floral dress pocket, and then took out an invitation card from Zou Baba.

"Hey, uncle gave Luoluo an invitation card!"

After finishing speaking, the little girl asked again very seriously: "There are really endless candied haws

"Yes! There are many more delicious things than candied haws!"

The little official tried not to laugh, and gritted his teeth. At the same time, he stooped to accept the invitation that seemed to be waste paper.

The moment the invitation was opened, the clerk was startled and wrote:

"Respectfully, my dear friend Rong Luoluo, I have been lonely for nearly thirty years, fortunately I met my beautiful partner, Mrs. Liu..."

The little official didn't have time to read the content, so he skipped directly to the end, only to see that the word Shang Ji was simply written on the signature, and there was also Shang Ji's personal seal.

For Shang Ji's big wedding, a total of more than 2,000 points of invitations were sent out. The list of invitations was determined jointly by Deng Yan and Xun Yu. Not one of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the country, famous scholars in the country, wealthy businessmen, and hermits was spared. Of course, more than 90% of them are unknown to the merchants, or even heard of them.

However, Shang Ji's marriage has become a political event, so naturally he can't let it happen.

Most of the more than 2,000 invitations were written by small officials in Pingzhou, and only more than 50 heavyweight guests, such as Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Ding Yuan, etc., were written by Deng Yan and others.

In the end, there were more than a dozen invitations written by Shang Ji himself, mainly for princes who had a close relationship with Shang Ji, such as Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Lu Zhi.

The status of these three levels of guests is naturally different. For Pingzhou people, the third category is obviously the most honorable. And the strange group in front of them is holding the invitation card written by Shang Ji.

Carefully putting away Zou Baba's invitation card, the little official's attitude became more kind, and he made a gesture of invitation to Rong Luoluo, and said loudly, "I welcome you!"

Rong Luoluo did not go in with the little official, but turned around to look at the scribe, holding his sleeve with her little hand, looking at him pitifully, and said in a childish voice, "Sir, candied haws!"

The scribe shook his head helplessly, and patted the little girl's head. He bowed to the little official again, and then entered the guest house with the generals behind him.

This scene happened to be seen by Liu Bei and Cao Cao who had just arrived. Cao Cao looked at the backs of the three men with some doubts, and asked Liu Bei: "Brother Xuande, you have always been close to Mr. Shang Shijun, so you know who the three are?" "

Liu Bei shook his head: "I don't know. The officials in Pingzhou are very respectful to them. I must have an extraordinary status. But I have never heard of such a noble woman. Could it be that she is of the blood of the emperor?"

"Hehe." Cao Cao sneered, "Mr. Xuande, do you think that Thief Dong would let the aristocratic daughter of the Tian family leave the capital? Moreover, the little girl's words and deeds are not royal and noble, but she is no different from an ordinary peasant girl."

The two were discussing Rong Luoluo, but they saw several people coming out of the Yingbin Pavilion, the leader had a face like a crown jade, dressed in brocade robes, cloud shoes, and jade rings around his waist, his temperament was extraordinary and elegant.

"Hahaha, Meng De, it's been half a year since we left Yangcheng, Brother Meng De, don't come here without any harm!"

"Brother Benchu, you're here too!" Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly, and took two quick steps to meet Yuan Shao.

"It's not just me. The highway is also here. Sun Wentai from Jiangdong, Lu Fengxian from Wuyuan, Gongsun Bogui from Yuyang, Ma Shoucheng from Xiliang, and Kong Wenju from Beihai are all here. Lu Gong from Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo from Luoyang, Ding Jianyang from Youzhou, and Hanwen Festival from Jizhou I didn’t come in person, but I also sent confidants to watch the ceremony.”

"By the way, the one next to him is the famous Liu Xuande, right? Hahaha. Counting Xuande Gong and Meng De, most of the world's heroes gather in Xiangping! The demeanor of a merchant envoy is far behind me!"

Before Yuan Shao finished speaking, a few more people came out from the Talent Recruitment Hall, and they just heard Yuan Shao's last words, and all of them had different expressions.
