Chapter 257 Huang Chengyan

"See General!"

The door of the mansion opened, and Cai Mao and a man who looked like a butler led the guards, kneeling respectfully on the ground.

Wu Ming hummed and said, "Get up, everyone. Speaking of which, it's the first time we've met since you joined me."

Cai Mao clasped his fists and said: "The last general was terrified and wanted to visit the general in person many times. Unfortunately, the general was busy with affairs. After returning from Luoyang, he went to Jiaozhou. After that, he distributed food and grass and moved to Yizhou. The lowly position is also powerless."

"Ha ha."

Wu Ming laughed twice, and said: "Okay, it's good if you can tell the truth for the people, it doesn't matter if you visit me or not, let's talk inside."

"Okay, please come to the general... Huh? Why didn't you see Commander Dian and General Qingyu?"

Wu Ming clasped his hands behind his back and said, "Dian Wei is busy assigning the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion to guard the mansion, while Qing Yu has other tasks. This time I'm the only one coming to the banquet. Could it be that I, Wu Ming, can't match Dian Wei and Qing Yu?"

Cai Mao knew that Wu Ming was joking, but the master was joking, and the subordinate naturally wanted to compliment him.

"How dare you, the great general came here in person, the mansion of this humble official is full of splendor."

"Come on, I'm starving."

The two walked away, but within two steps, there was a knock on the door of the mansion.

Wu Ming frowned, stopped in his tracks, stared at Cai Mao and said, "Could it be that General Cai invited others to the banquet?"

Cai Mao broke out in a cold sweat, how could he not know what Wu Ming meant.

He was born in a gentry family and abandoned a part of the family. Only then did the Cai family rebirth from the ashes, and now it has been two years. Wu Ming is clearly asking him, could it be that your wings are hardened, and you actually want to rape other confidants? Stuffed into the Jingzhou system?
Cai Hao hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "The sincerity of the humble official can be learned from the world. During the day, the general said that no one else is invited, so this time, the humble official rejected many guests who recommended themselves. Lao Jiang, go and see who it is, and drive them away. .”

Before the housekeeper could speak, Wu Ming said with an oh, waved his hand and said, "Don't rush away, since you're here, I'll meet you anyway, I'll open the door."

The general opened the door himself, and Cai Mao’s cold sweat was already dripping down. I hope the guy outside the door is not a nobleman who is friendly with him, otherwise don’t mention me, God can’t save you in Wu Ming’s hands...

The door of the mansion opened slowly, Wu Ming was obviously taken aback.

Outside the door was an old man with his arms around his body, a cane in his hand, and beside him was a girl in sackcloth, her bangs were so long that they almost covered her eyes, and she couldn't see her face at all.

Wu Ming said in astonishment: "You two are..."

The old man coughed and said: "Officer, please tell me that the old man Huang Chengyan came to pay a visit, and Cai Mao will not make things difficult."

Wu Ming rubbed the bridge of his nose and didn't say a word. It seemed that he had misunderstood Cai Mao, but why did the name Huang Chengyan sound so familiar?
The woman beside her raised her head and looked at Wu Ming. Although she was puzzled why Wu Ming didn't say a word, she still did not say it obediently. It seemed that she was also a well-educated girl.

Wu Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "What is the relationship between the old man and General Cai? General Cai has a high position and power, not everyone can see it."

The old man chuckled, and said: "This old man is the husband-in-law of General Cai's eldest sister. In Ganglun, I have to call my brother-in-law. Please tell me."

Wu Ming suddenly realized, turned around, and walked towards Cai Mao who was hiding in the distance.

And Cai Mao was obviously relieved, and he didn't need to tighten his heart.

"General Cai, since you have relatives visiting, then I won't stay any longer. Let's talk about it another day. Let's say goodbye."

Cai Hao finally invited Wu Ming, how can he say forget it, let’s talk about it next time, who knows when the next time will be, there is news that Wu Ming will go north after accepting a concubine, and then there will be no chance .

With an idea, he said: "General, to be honest, this brother-in-law of humble rank is a famous person in Xiangyang, and he is very close to all the famous people in Xiangyang. Why don't you get close to each other for a while, General, and you will definitely gain something."

Wu Ming's heart moved, how could he not see his little thoughts, but he didn't point it out, but changed his way of saying it.

"I heard that there are famous scholars in Xiangyang, and their disciples are all over China, but I don't know how much friendship Huang Chengyan has with Sima Hui and Mr. Pang De?"

Cai Hao laughed. He really didn't know about others, but these two were close friends for many years.

He clasped his fists and said: "To be honest, this brother-in-law of humble rank became famous very early, but he got tired of the world many years ago, and instead lived a life like a wild crane. Mr. Sima Hui and Mr. Pound are both good friends of my brother-in-law. "

Wu Ming's face was happy, and he clasped his hands together and said, "Then let's have dinner together, but don't reveal my identity, understand?"

Cai Mao hurriedly showed a clear expression, and said: "The last general's order."

As he spoke, he straightened his clothes and walked out.

"I didn't expect my brother-in-law to come, but if I miss you, don't be surprised if I still hope."

Huang Chengyan said with a smile: "My brother-in-law doesn't need to be too concerned. Since I moved away, I have lived a life of idle clouds and wild cranes. If your sister asked me to give you a voice, I would definitely not come here."

Cai Mao saluted respectfully. Among the gentry, Cai Mao was relatively humble.

"Brother-in-law, how can you say that, you and I are relatives, and relatives come from afar, so naturally we want to entertain, please come inside."

Huang Chengyan shook his head and said: "You, you, people have become more careful after becoming an official. That's all. Now that you know how to be willing, as a brother-in-law, I have nothing to teach you."

The corner of Wu Ming's mouth twitched. Huang Chengyan's words of willingness clearly meant that he abandoned the other branch of the family and enlisted the family to serve his own affairs.

But the foot that went out could no longer be retracted, and he walked up with his fists clasped.

With sharp eyes, Cai Mao hurriedly said, "This is..."

Wu Ming interrupted him with a chuckle, and said, "I'm not very talented, I am the deputy commander of the Shenwu Battalion. I came here this time to discuss the defense of Xiangyang city with General Cai Mao. I saw the two of you knocking on the door as soon as I arrived."

Huang Chengyan clasped his fists in surprise, and said: "It's really rare for my brother to be the deputy commander of the Shenwu Battalion at this age. As far as I know, all the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion are in the 2-star category, and the little brother is at least 4 stars." God will."

Wu Ming laughed and said: "I just touched the edge of 5 stars, and I am worried that there will be no big battle to help break through."

It is true that I have touched the edge of 5 stars, but it is not the lower edge, but the upper edge. I am worried that there is no way to break through to 6 stars...

Huang Chengyan sighed: "The general has a lot of talents under his command. Only then did he hear that the young Zhou Lang broke through to 5 stars. He didn't expect that there would be such people as generals in the general's personal guard army."

At this moment, the girl next to him curled her lips and said with a snort: "You are a clever little ghost, holding a clay pot to decorate a jade building..."

Before Wu Ming could speak, Cai Mao's expression changed: "You..."

Wu Ming hurriedly kicked him, signaling him not to show his weakness.
